DE LA MARTINE has asserted that the world is becoming mechanical or manu facturing, and insisted, in his poetical way, that statesmen must accept this as a part of society, and seek to give it a soul, there can be little doubt but that the opinion will find general favour with our Tory journalists, as it has already found favour with more than one. For our parts, ready as we have been to give currency to m. DE LA MARTINE's oration, we had nothing to • :earn from him on this head, and have several times, and years ago, insisted, in this journal, that :he growth of manufactures was a natural and Necessary step in the progress of mankind. We :Jaye pointed out the circumstance, namely—the employmen t of proportionably fewer hands to feed ociety as the art of agriculture is improved—which compels men to be manufacturers, if they have not the means to live without employment, and tve have briefly, as occasion served, alluded to iome of the moral effects—which we regard as altogether beneficent—of the growth of manu :actures, and the increasing use of machinery. On this important question, therefore, we had tiothing to learn, and have learned nothing, from A. DE LA MARTINE, though we are glad of him s an auxiliary to impress on our readers the ,ruth, that society is becoming, and must be ,.ome, mechanical or manufacturing. But this important truth is denied by the rories, and not merely is the truth denied, but ;heir actions are dictated by a contrary opinion. With an Arcadian simplicity, a remnant of the in a golden. age, they insist that agricul -are, because it was earlier practised than menu ; ictures, is a far more suitable employment for iaciety; and, far from allowing individuals to istribute themselves as is most for their advan •.ige, in manufacturing or agricultural occupa :tons, they have insisted, and do insist, on forcing [l. 'undue number to engage in cultivating the -Al i and in preventing a: increasing number am gaining a living by making and selling ma ufactures. If M. DE LA 'MARTINE and we are ight, the statesmen who adopt the Tory princi de, and try to extend agriculture and check the rowth of manufactures by laws, are engaged in ?,sisting the natural and necessary progress of „ociety, and are responsible, by their erring ,onduct, fir much of the misery which exists. . a Sir RoBERT PEEL'S imagination it may not very poetical or picturesque to have t h e Aole community crowded into large towns con ected by railways, and. he may think it worthy f a statesman to make laws on such a snarling •iew of what society may possibly become; but ociety has hitherto obtained, and will most pro- Ably in future obtain, the mere means of sub stence by a decreasing quantity of labour, and e statesman who thwarts or resists that benevo item and beat:tidal progress from some fancied peric;rity u agriculture, is the enemy of his )ecies. We hear much said now ~ f the general peace Europe, mid we rejoice, day alter day, that it ce.hunns contain none of the excitement of ar ; but it is somewhat singular to find general THE 13RIGH .....,...... _,.............„........ r0N mA lls :stress and general di scontent ex i sting i n con - • Tie pt ronsgt Post-office authorities and s ha v e jus t ;:nction with general peace. I s i t , h owever, t h e b een concluded between an d the directors of the railway for the transmission et that there is peace in society, though there of both the day and night mails. Hitherto the day e peace betwixt nations? If our pr ev i ous o h- ma i l on l y h as been carried by railway, the night mail rvations be correct, those who frame our insti- travelling by the old road, owing to several of the , tions, and govern society, may be said to be at towns within its delivery not being adjacent the iwill 'ar with its progress. The passages we quoted railway. Mail eart 3 from the various stations esterday from the Times, " the movement of now convey the letters to these towns, and th e new timbers against wealth and rank," imply nothing arrangements will come into operation i n t h e course of the present week., less than a war of the multitude against the in stitutions of society. How many persons may be lying in gaol awaiting the deliverance of the Special Commission we know not, but they are not fewer than half a thousand. In former times the journals attacked political parties and political leaders—they now assail classes, and assail them with fury. On the one hand the landlords, on the other the manufacturers, are described as oppressing the multitude. If we have no longer war betwixt nations, we have war betwixt classes; if we have not war abroad, we have fierce conflicts at home. We aim not at each other's lives, but at each other's prosperity; and, though death be not inflicted, destitution is. Men perish not amidst the inspiring sounds of the trumpet, but amidst the cheerless gloom of cold and creeping poverty. It is this kind of war betwixt institutions and the people, betwixt class and class, growing out of a traditionary and unjust partiality to ancient employments, and an antipathy to new occupations,which, in the midstof peace betwixt nations, is one of the main sources of general distress and general discontent. We know of no nostrum, for our parts, to cure this general disorder, but we rely principally on the spread of information, and the progress of accurate knowledge amongst our rulers, as well as amongst the people. One of the objections made by sentimental writers and sentimental statesmen to the pro gress of manufactures is, that they are un poetical. They destroy all the charms which these writers and statesmen ascribe to rural life. The undeviating rail, running betwixt high earthern walls, or passing through a hole in the earth called a tunnel, or running along on the top of high embankments, is merely dark, ter rific, and mechanical. As the clattering carriage whirls furiously along, frightening the graceful animals who are grazing peacefully in the velvet meadows which it intersects, it is the very anti podes of all that to youthful poets and poetesses is charming in the country; and an opinion is formed which is not without its influence in the Legislature, that mechanical improvements are odious, soul-less things, which only deform the fair face of nature. We shall borrow, there fore, from a leading Tory publication, the florid, but certainly not the successful or the reasonable, defender of Sir R. PEEL'S policy, a few observa tions on railroads, to show that they are not without a poetry of their own. The Quarterly Reviewer says-- Yet our age is not asleep. Great movements, va rious activities, are heard and seen on all sides. In the lowest department, that of mere mechanics, cot,- sider what fifteen years have done. It was only in the autumn of 1830, following close on the French three memorable days of July, that the Duke of Wel lington opened the Manchester and Liverpool Rail road. The population of the busiest region on this earth were assembled round him, whom all acknow ledged as the greatest man in England, at the inau guration of a new physical power, then felt to double the strength and swiftness of human beings. While, among the myriads of gravely joyous faces, the new machines travelled at a speed matching that of eagles, the life of a great statesman shot off on a darker and more distant journey, and the thrill of fear and pain at his destructioh gave the last human tragic touch to an event which would at any rate have retained for ever an historic importance. The death of Mr. Hus kisson startled the fixed bosom of the veteran sol dier, and those who were near perceived a quiver of the lip, a movement of the eye, such as had hardly been caused by the most unlooked-for and dreadful chances of his mighty wars. To a calm observer the emotion of the whole multitude, great and small, might strangely have recalled far-distant ages, and the feelings with which ancient peoples held every great event as incomplete, wanting tne blood of a vic tim—too often human—solemnly shed. In the most prosperous and peaceful of national triumphs the dark powers again claimed a share, and would not be for gotten. - Since then, about twelve years have passed, and behold what they have brought forth. Some seventy millions of money have been expended —more, at the lowest estimate, than four times as much as the Papacy was able to raise in a century and a half for the construction of its greatest monument, the costliest the world has ever seen. These seventy millions of pounds have been subscribed by private persons at their own choice in one small country, and have created nearly fifteen hundred miles of railroads —structures that surpass all pyramids and Cyclopean walls, and machines that would puzzle Archimedes, by which myriads of men are perpetually travelling like the heroes of fairy tales. It is probable that the roads of the Roman empire, the work of many centuries, did not cost so much of human labour, and they certainly did not exhibit so much greatness of thought, as those that we have built in less than twenty years. In the state of society that has pro duced such results there may be, we know there is, enough torpor, even rottenness. But it cannot be, on the whole, an insignificant stage of human ex istence, one barren for imaginative eyes. From the Reviewer's remarks, of which the above is but a specimen, it is plain that he regards our present world, our workshops, and our exchanges, our tall chimneys and our straight rails, our busy marts and our crowded streets —teeming, as they do, with life, with tragic and with comic interest—instinct, as they are, with all the passions of man, to be full of poetry ; but the feeble and helpless complainers of an un poetical and unpicturesque world, are so dull that they cannot perceive it, and so little learned in the love of the passions that they cannot inter pret them. We quarrel not with their imbecility, but we protest against society being made to suffer because some of the most feeble-minded of our writers and statesmen are smitten with a vain desire of distinction, which they cannot gratify. They are unable to find out the poetry of the existing world, because it is not the poetry of their books; and, seeing nothing picturesque hi the occupations of more than half the commu nity, would fain suppress them. As long as such foolishness was confined to the novels of the Minerva Press, no person thought it worthy of notice; but when Tory writers, day after day, decry manufactures, on sentimental grounds, and I dta v h: l ica i de e t s n fi oto t ofi h .lsi s e Pri t axd i e n ien s ,g t s i a av town retcle articles mischievous,o a p g u a i l n a s ti t o a sentimentalists becomesdirect Minister appeals to the preju dices COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, TUESDAY.--His Excellency Count St. Aulaire, the French Ambassador, arrived to-day at the Castle, on a visit to the Queen. _ Lord Ashburton and the Earl of Aberdeen alio ar rived on a visit to her Majesty. In the morning the Queen and Prince Albert en joyed their usual walk in the Slopes and:Home Park. The Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal were taken an airing. Lord Rivers, the Hon. Capt. Duncombe, Mr. Geo. Edward Anson, and the Hon. C. A. Murray, had an excellent run this forenoon, in the neighbourhood of Datchet, with his Royal Highness's harriers. This afternoon her Majesty rode out in a pony phaeton and four, accompanied by the Dowager Lady Lyttelton. The Prince of Wales and his attendants were in the next carriage. The Countess of Mount Edgecumbe, Hon. Miss Stanley, and the Hon. Miss Hamilton followed in another pony carriage. His Royal Highness Prince Albert, and the Gen tlemen of the Court were on horseback. The Royal party rode into the Great Park. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, Lady Charlotte Dundas ' Dowager Lady Lyttelton, Hon. William Henry Lyttelton, and Miss Lavina Lyttelton, will join the Royal dinner circle at the Castle this evening. Her Majesty the Queen Dowager and suite left Marlborough House soon after ten o'clock yesterday morning in several carriages and four, for the ter minus of the South Western Railway at Vauxhall. Her Majesty was attended by Lady Frances Clinton, Lady i n W a iti ng ; Hon. Miss Mitchell, Maid of Honour in Waiting ; Earl Howe, Lord Chamberlain; Earl o f D en bi g h , Master of the He r3e ; Sir Andrew Barnard, Clerk Marshal ; and the Rev. John Ryle Wood, Chaplain. Soon afte r h er arr i va l a t the R: ilway station, her M!tjesty, attended by the ladies aid gmtlemen of her suite and her household, took her departure, by a special train, for the seat of Lord De Mauley, Canfoid House, near Wi m b orne, Dorset. Sir James G ra h am transacted business yesterday at 1 the Foreign -office. Di spatches were sent off last evening from the Colonial-office for the Governor of the Mauritius. THE SUN, LONDON ) WEDNESDAY EVENING. OCTOBER 5, !II 842 THE EXTRAORDINARY CASE AT BRISTOL. BRISTOL POLICE, SATURDAY.-Mr. Harmar said he had to prefer, on behalf of Mr. Frederick Jones, a jeweller and silversmith of this city, a charge of conspiracy against certain parties, with intent to de fraud him of a gold watch, chain, seal, and ring. He was placed in a position of some difficulty, inasmuch as one of the parties was not present. A summons had been issued, but the individual had gone out of ' the way. Only one of the parties, Mr. Woolley, was then present. Mr. Harmar said he would state the foundation of the charge, and which he had put into the shape of a charge of conspiracy against Mr. Woolley, a gentle man living at the New-cut, and a Miss Ann Briers, his sister-in-law. Miss Briers was the sister of Mr. Woolley's late wife, and resided in the house with him. In the month of August last Miss Briers pur chased some trifling articles of Mr. Jones, which she paid for. Shortly after she bought a ring of Mr. Jones, which, after being engraved, was sent to Mr. Woolley's house, and which had not been paid for. On the 12. th of August Mr. Jones received a note by the hands of Mr. Woolley's servant, Mary Watts, de • siring a lady's gold watch and a small gold chain to be sent to her. In consequence of this letter Jones took the gold watch and chain to Mr. Woolley's house. When be left it with Miss Briers,,he under stood it was for a lady to look at. Some few days after, Jones called to be paid. He then saw Mr. Woolley with the chain round his neck, and the ring which he (Mr. Jones) had sold to Miss Briers on his finger. Mr. Jones left the watch with Miss Briers. He should prove by the evidence of Watts, the ser vant, that the watch was delivered to Mr. 'Woolley, or was seen in his possession. Shortly after, seeing the chain on Mr. Woolley's person; he (Jones) called at the house, but could get no admittance or informa tion respecting Miss Briers. He, however, met her at the house of a friend, when she told him that she had just seen the lady who had had the watch, and she would call and pay him. On the 15th of August, Jones had seen Woolley wearing the gold chain. On the day of the regatta, Jones again went to Woolley's house, and there saw Mr. Woolley. Mr. Woolley asked him what he wanted, and Jones said, "to be paid for my watch, which you have got." Mr. IVoolley said it was Miss Briers that had had the watch, and showed him out of the house. On that occasion Mr. Woolley had on the ring which Jones had sold to Miss Briers. Mr. Brice—Can you carry it any further ? You have not proved conspiracy ; you have shown no joint acting. Supposing you prove the whole of yourstate ment, that Miss Briers gave the watch and chain to Mr. Woolley, how is he inculpated in a charge of con spiracy ? The MAYOR-It seems to me a matter of debt. Mr. Smith—Clearly so, and not against Mr. Wool ley. It is a most scandalous thing that a most re spectable tradesman should have been brought up on such a charge. Mr. Harmar—lt is more so to get a watch and chain in this way. Mr. Smith—Mr. Woolley stands here wholly un conscious of any offence. I have waited to see what evidence there was of conspiracy, and by Mr. Har mar's own statement there is not a shadow of pretence for any such charge. Mr. Jones—The watch was ordered for a lady, and I understand it was given to Mr. Woolley. Mr. Smith—Mr. Woolley has been the victim of a very strange and extraordinary conspiracy himself. It is only from a natural desire not to divulge cir cumstances involving parties connected with him that he is prevented giving, through me a full explanation. There is not a shadow of pretence for charging him with any criminality. Some further conversation ensued, after which the Magistrates dismissed the case, observing there was nothing to support a charge of conspiracy.—Bristol Mercury. The Bristol Mirror says :—" We understand that by the will of the late Mrs. Woolley, her sister, Miss Briers, is entitled to a certain sum of money on the demise or marriage of Mr. Woolley. If this be true, it may afford some reason for the extraordinary con duct of Miss Briers." It is stated that Mr. Woolley is so unfitted for business that he has dissolved part nership, and is about to leave Bristol. cittitfr • sorts of horrors, the slightest of which are enough to make a nervous man's hair stand on end ! For our own part, we entertain none of our Contempo rary's misgivings, even as regards the interests of the agriculturists; but hold firm to the convic tion that the more free trade is encouraged, the better it will be for all classes of the community. We have received accounts from Malta by the Levant Mail up to the 24th ult. We learn from them that a Court-martial, which had been sitting for some days on certain charges of a peculiar nature brought against Lieut. LIONEL PLACE, of her Majesty's ship Queen, had closed its proceedings by the honourable acquittal of the prisoner, at whose own request the Court martial bad been held. The fleet had sailed out on a cruise, and was expected to return in a few days. The Madrid mail of the 26th has brought the papers of that date, together with the usual cor respondence. • General VAN HALEN has published a circular, which has caused much sensation in the capital. as it is equivalent to a declaration that the Go vernment is not in a position to meet the ex penses necessary for the maintenance of the army in Catalonia. General VAN HALEN has ordered' the Colonels of the different corps to exalt from the Ayuntamientos of their cantonments a daily sum of 11 or P 2 cuartos for each soldier, and of six reels for each officer, up to the rank of cap tain inclusively. It is somewhat difficult to un derstand in what way the Captain-General of Catalonia is authorised to levy upon the respec tive municipalities of his province, without having • the sanction of the Government to enforce such a measure. The Three per Cents. were done at 211 at CO days, and the Five per Cents at 26} for cash, and 213 1 1 9-16, and 27 5-16 k, with prem., at 60 days. We have received the Paris papers of Monday. The KING, QUEEN, and Royal Family, arrived at St. Cloud from Eu on Sunday morning at ten o'clock. HIS MAJESTY, who appeared to enjoy good health, presided at a Council of Ministers. shortly afterwards. The non-arrival of the India mail at Marseilles on Sunday caused some surprise, as the Levant mail arrived at ten o'clock of the preceding days thus proving that in the Mediterranean no ob stacle existed. The affair between the Cygnet and the Eagle affords the Paris papers another opportunity of dis cussing the question relative to the right of search, The writers in general describe the proceeding of Lieut. WILSON, the Commander of the English vessel, as a wanton and unjustifiable act. The Constitutionnel sees in it the commencement of a plot for driving the French from the west coas► of Africa altogether. The Courrier takes for granted the burning of villages, pillage of habi tations, and firing at canoes, attributed to the English by the French captain, and adds that all these abominable acts were merely for the pur pose of disquieting French commerce! It appears from the Journal des Debats that no contractor can be found to execute any portion of the line of railroad to the Belgian frontier. It also admits that the French Government engi neers are so itnperious, and so difficult to please, that all the contractors for the fortifications have failed instead of gaining anything; and it winds up by say►ng, that since no contractor can be found, the French Government must set about the execution of the line itself: The letters and journals of the south of France are filled with accounts of the inundations of the rivers of Provence, Dauphine, Bresse, and Viva. rais. Italy appears likewise to haVe been visited with similar calamities; and on the 20th ult. a frightful hurricane was experienced at Rome, which damaged a number of houses, and felled many trees in the vicinity. The deputation ordered by the presiding Court of Switzerland (the Vorort) to go to Neufchatel to com pliment the King of Prussia, has returned to Berne. The deputation is extremely gratified at the reception it met with at Neufchatel. The King spoke to them in the most friendly terms, and among other thing: , said that his affection was not confined to the canton of Neufchatel, and that he felt the same sentiments towards the rest of Switzerland.—Helvetie. The same journal (the Helvetic) says :—" Mr, Yschann, our Charge d'Affaires at Paris, lately had conference with M. Guizot, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, in which he stated to him the complaint o; the Vorort, concerning the violation of our territory . committed by. French gensdarines in disguise, INh, came to arrest, near Vairmont, in the canton o: Berne, a citizen of Soleure, who has enlisted in the French service. M. Guizot answered, that if the fact. were such as they were stated to him, the French Go vernment would hasten to do justice to the complaint of the Federal authority. The Vorort requires that Talzmann, the deserter, shall be brought back to tia place from which he was taken, and that satisfaction shall be given for this flagrant violation of our terri tory.—Le Commerce.

OVERLAND MAIL. The Mail from India was to leave Bombay on the 27th of August. It will not be due in London until about the 10th instant, but the telegraphic announcement may be expected on the Bth. We regret to learn, from the Paris papers re ceived this morning, that a strong and angry feel ing prevails in most of them, relative to the long disputed question of the light of search, and that violent attacks are made on the English Government and . the commanders of English vessels for the rude manner in which, they state, French vessels are visited by our cruizers. The affair between the Cygnet and the Eagle, of which we gave an account yesterday, has re vived all their hostility to the conventions of 1831 and 1833, which is not a little heightened also by the contrast drawn between the posi tion of France in this respect, and that of the United States. We are not surprised at the bitter and abusive language adopted by the Constitutionnel, knowing the character of the man who directs the politics of that journal ; but there are others equally violent, and little doubt exists that, but for a certain influence, the whole papers, not excepting even those friendly to the Ministry, would display the same acrimony. On ' looking at the transaction, as described by the French and the English commanders, we cannot see anything peculiarly offensive in the manner in which the Englishman performed his duty. He was on a coast where the slave trade is carried on to a frightful extent, and, suspecting something wrong from the appearance of the vessel, he fired a shot to bring her to, and on this being disregarded a second shot was fired. We believe this is the usual mode adopted on similar occasions, and if the right of search is to be ex ercised at all the French have little cause for complaint; but seeing the jealousy with which our interference is viewed by the two Chambers, and by nearly the whole nation, it may be a question whether the best interests of humanity are not more endangered by the observance than the breach of these conventions. The slave-trade is a disgrace to humanity, and nations that encourage it have no claims to be ranked among civilized nations; but if the traffic cannot be di minished, much less abolished, without constant heart-burnings and collisions, which may endan ger the peace of two powerful countries, we may pay too high a price even for this great object of our wishes. To carry the plan into effect the voluntary and cordial co-operation of England and France is necessary. At present there is no co-operation whatever, as French vessels do not capture one slaver for fifty taken by the English, and to continue this system it is evident will neither tend to effect its purpose nor restore a good feeling between the two countries. If France reject conventions into which she voluntarily entered in behalf of huma pity, let the blame and the disgrace rest with her, but - let not the peace of the world be en dangered by any mad attempt on the part of England to compel her to do her duty. We trust, therefore, that new negotiations will be entered into on this important question, and measures be adopted for removing all those causes of jealousy and suspicion of this country, which evidently have made a strong impression on the minds of the French people. In this man ner there might be some hope of abating the evil, while at the present day it exists to as great an event as formerly, and never can be put down unless both parties join willingly in the sacred cause. It is exceedingly amusing to observe the per plexity and embarrassment that has of late beset the Tory journals, which this time last year were the unhesitating, thick-and-thin supporters of Sir ROBERT PEEL and his Cabinet. Fain would they still continue their unqualified support of him and his; but they know not how to do it with a due regard to their own consistency, and the prejudices and predilections of their readers; and this imparts to their manlier a reserve—au 4wkwardness—a hesitation— t h at s i ts as gro tesquely and ludicrously upon them as - a a cow. Like the cocked hat wou weathercock, ld y upon are constantly chang ing. Now they adopt a blustering, inde pendent tone ; now they are melted almost to tears at thought of the sad straits to which they are reduced. One day they muster up brass enough to give their equivocal friend, Sir ROBERT PEEL, an encouraging pat on the back ; the next, they assume an air of dignified reserve— ofinjured innocence--and shake their thick heads at him, as though he were past all hope of amend ment. But of all the Tory organs, the Post is un questionably the most perplexedand discontented.. The Times now and then gives out a low, threa tening growl, indicative of a sort of half-formed intention to spring out upon the Premier and rend him to atoms; and the frequent bray of the Herald is by no means one denoting satisfaction at his course of policy; but the Post is uniformly sulky and desponding, and, like RACH A EL weep ing for her children, " refused' to be comforted." The " Lamentations" of JEREMIAH are touching enough, but those of our Contemporary are of a still more affecting character. He is in hysterics at least six days in the week ; and the respite chat he obtains on the Sunday, only seems to deepen his melancholy on the Monday. This morning his frame of mind is peculiarly distress ing and convulsive. He has made the alarming discovery that the Agriculturists are at length ' brought to the verge of ruin; that they are at theirwits' ends—no great distance to travel—with apprehension ; and that they have no more chance of redeeming their fortunes, than Sir H. PEEL has of screwing an I ncome-tax out of a Tipperary bog-trotter. Mark the tone of our convulsed Contemporary !—" There is one fea ture by which all the agricultural Meetings are distinguished—it is fear! Symptoms are already exhibiting themselves, and these symptoms go in every instance to the discouragement of any ra tional hope that fartniog profits can maintain themselves against the working of the new law r' Encouraging language this from a Tory journal which, no longer ago than last February, was among the foremost to cry up the PEEL Ministry as a godsend; and to assure the agricul tural party that they would find in the Premier a steady, zealous, and affectionate friend, who would have far too much re spect for Asses of home-growth, to reduce the duty on colonial ones; and who would never allow a free-born British bullock to come into undignified competition with a Dutch or Flemish one It was said of FALSTAFF, that he was not only witty himself, but the cause of wit in others. Parodying this remark, we may say of our Contemporary, that he is not only afflicted himself; but the cause of affliction in others, for one of his correspondents writes from Liverpool in this dejected strain :—" All my in quiries lead to the conviction that the mischiefs of the Tariff are only as yet in the infancy oftheir development. The farmers' friends may hold forth to them on the superior flavour of English hams and bacon; but facts are stubborn things, and the fact at this moment is, that American salt provisions are fast increasing their proportionate amount in the supply of this part of the kingdom. The bonded warehouses here are literally crammed with American beef and pork, which, on the re duction of the duty, will all be thrown into the market." Alas, for the pig monopoly of th e Agriculturists! Jousr BULL will now be able to get his ham and bacon cheaper than he has yet done; there will be an awful fall, too, in the price of his buttock of beef; and the farmer's and grazier's vocation is at an end! Heaven only knows—reiterates the Post from day to day— what will be the result of this appalling state of things : and then he goes on to insinuate all , CREDITOR.

E. GAUTIER. ALARMING ACCIDENT—On Monday last an alarm ing accident occurred at the house of Mr. Lock, a merchant, residing in Notting-hill-square. It seems that the lady of Mr. Lock had recently been con fined, and though symptoms of danger made their appearance in the first instance, by the skilful treat ment of Mr. Chisholm, of 32, Devonshire- street, Port land-place, Mrs. Lock was fast approaching to con valesence. On the day, however, above named, by some incaution on the part of a female domestic, the curtains belonging to the bed in which Mrs. Lock and her infant were lying were set fire to, and in an instant were in flames, as well as the bed and bedstead. Mrs. Lock at once seized her infant, and rushed to the door of her room in a state of great terror ; and although her night-dress was in a blaze, fortunately she was not burnt, but the fright, as may be imagined, caused a relapse, and for some hours Mrs. Lock was in great danger, but by the very abk. wayrecovery.isagain Yesterdayinfair way of a e r w r Green Man, inquest High-street was held , before Pop l Poplar, r f o r t; view of the body of a lad named William Shelton, 14 years of age. Edward Green stated that he was e seaman on board the Olive Branch, now lying in the West India Export Dock. On Sunday afternoon the deceased came alongside the ship in a boat, and whilst standing on the thwarts his foot suddenly slipped and he fell overboard. Witness, with the officer on board, immediately jumped into the boat and endeavoured to rescue him, and at one time, as he rose to the surface of the water, got a piece of timber under his arms, but he was unable to hold on, and he sank. The drags were immediately put in requisition, but up wards of three hours elapsed before the body wa s found.—Verdict, " Accidental death." Miaacumus ESCAPE.—An attempt at self-destruc tion was made on Monday afternoon by John Martin, a man who is well known on the Brighton beach, as the master of a pleasure-boat. He had been living for several years with a woman somewhat his junior, who on Sunday morning disappeared, and at the same time he missed a considerable portion of his portable pro perty, which, on inquiry, he learned had been be stowed by her as a marriage portion on a man to whom she, on leaving the house, had immediately got married, at St. Nicholas' church. The loss of his companion, perchance of his hoardings, so preyed on his mind, that on Monday he resolved on self-destruc tion, by throwing himself down the well of his own house. He was observed in the act of leaping down, and a young man, a neighbour, at once voluntered to descend in the bucket. He did so accordingly, and brought up Martin, who, to the astonishment of nu merous persons, who had by this time congregated around the well, proved to have entirely escaped in jury. The well, which is at the back of Chester field-street, nearly at the top of the hill above Devon shire-place, is upwards of 120 feet deep, and contaiued 20 feet of water. SOUTHAMPTON, OCT. 5, 8 A.M.—The Royal Mail Steam-packet Company's ship, Dee, has just arrived with 60 passengers, and 500,000 dollars on freight. When 140 miles off the Lizard (on the 27th ult.), the Dee encountered very boisterous weather, which compelled her to put in to Corunna ; her dates are— Havannah, Sept. 1 ; Nassau, Sept. 5 ; Bermuda, Sept. 11 ; and Fayal, Sept. 21. SUMMARY OF NE''S AND tlttbitt Optitton. " Who runs may read." FOREIGN. The Royal family of France arrived at Saint-Cloud on Sunday morning, at ten o'clock, having left Eu on Saturday evening, at half-past seven. The Ring and Queen of Prussia arrived at Carlsruhe on the 30th ult., and immediately paid a visit to the Grand Duke. Their Majesties left Carlsruhe on the following day. The Journal de Frankfort states that as soon as the Emperor of Russia received the news of the fire at Kusan, he determined to leave St. Petersburgh for that city. The Vienna Papers mention another fire. On the 19th ult., the village of Kirchberg was almost entirely burnt to the ground. According to accounts from General Lamorciere, Abd-el-Kader was still in the environs of Tekedempta. with 1,200 to 1,500 troops, and a population of 7,000 to 8,000 persons who followed him. General d'Ar bouville, on the contrary, stated that Abd-el-Kader had plunged in the Desert to the south-west, and General Bineau imagines that this is the true account. Mr. Southern, Secretary to the British Legation at Lisbon, has arrived at Madrid, and it is rumoured that he is charged with a secret mission. A letter from Madrid says—" Mr. John O'Shea, nephew of the opulent banker, has left for London, it is said, with the object of making arrangements either for advancing two millions sterling to the Spanish Government, or of letting the contract for the quick silver mines of Almaden." A Madrid letter says—" The question which occupies the Cabinet is the speedy meeting of the Cortes. It appears certain that this convo cation will take place towards the month of November. M. Cortina, the leader of the Op position, is trying to organize again the coalition which overthrew the Gonzales Cabinet. On the other hand, the Ministerial Deputies hold frequent meetings at M. Cordero's, to come to an understanding on the most important questions that are to be discussed dur ing the approaching session. Of these the most grave is the Cotton Bill, which will probable give rise to very animated discussions. A letter from Vienna, 18th ult., states that the town of Gross-Kanischa, in Hungary, was much damaged by four shocks of an earthquake on the 9th ult. The Catholic chapel, the Protestant church, and the Synagogue, the Hotel-de-Ville, and several other buildings, were much injured. Two houses which stood alone fell down, and buried in their ruins ten persons. Of these, six were taken out alive, though tnuch bruised; the others were dead. The whole damage is estimated at 150,000 florins (15,0001.) • The Memorial de Rouen attributes the abundant introduction of coals which took place before the month of August to the desire of the English specu lators to escape the duty levied in England on the exportation of this combustible. It appears that the glut of the market, as it was easy to anticipate, has caused a fall extensive enough to exceed the amount of the export duty, and has consequently disappointed the expectations of the exporters. • PUBLIC OPINION. The Times thus comments on Chief Justice Tindal's charge at Stafford :--" The majesty of the English law has not often been more worthily sustained than in the temperate and dignified charge of the Chief Justice of the Common Pleas to the Grand Jury at Stafford. Interposing to punish, the law of England yet remembers that true obedience cannot be matter of compulsion, and while arraying herself in her terrors against the evil-doer, she yet fails not to re mind us that the prevalence of sound principle and strict conscientiousness is the real basis upon which she looks to found her authority : the basis upon which she hopes to see established the peace and pros perity of society. The law of England is a terror only to, the wicked—to the honest, the poor, and the oppressed, she has ever professed herself a de fence and a refuge. The law respecteth order,'— and—' the law favoureth life and liberty.' And ac cordingly it is held that while a breach of the Queen's peace is an offence most contrary to the genius of our laws ; an offence of the greatest magnitude ; still the right, or duty, on the part of the subject, of discussing and representing his grievances, of pointing out what is wrong for amendment and alteration, and that in no spirit of discontent or insubordination, but in an honest desire for the public welfare—is one which is inviolably to be defended and observed. This has over been the language of the common law of Eng land ; this has ever been the language held by her authorised ministers and exponents—the Justices of the upper and lower Bench, and of the Exchequer ; the antistites legum,'—as they have been called of old; —ar.d this is the language which is held by them tc this day." The Post says :—" 'We have been looking over the reports forwarded to us of agricultural meetings in ‘arious parts of the country. They all breathe tl , ( spirit which we have ever looked for from the land holders and farmers of England—that of a firm deter mination to stand by the great national object of Bri t ish cultivation, be what may the expenditure of time. tf skill, and of pecuniary outlay. This is what we expected. This is what our long experience, of the character of our agriculturists had led us to expect. But this we cannot conceal front ourselves, and it would, be superficial hypocrisy to attempt to conceal it from our readers, that alarm, that doubt, and dread (we will not call it panic), is at the present moment the prevalent feeling w i th the agricultural commu nity. We see resolutions entered into—we see farmers and landowners resolving to maintain each other's interests—to avoid all steps approaching to a discontinuance of labouring employment, or to a re duction of the wages now paid to workpeople. But this we cannot conceal from ourselves, that those who adopt these resolutions know that they do so at a disadvantage. They seem well aware of new embar rassments —new obstacles—in the way of a fair remu neration." We take the following from the Herald :—The ignorance of the Times is amusing and almost uni versal ; it is alike displayed in reference to agricul tural associations, musical festivals, and the condition of the West Indies. Our Contemporary is violent in its opposition to the admission of foreign sugar ; yet it objects to any reasonable and facile mode of extend ing the production of British Colonial sugar ; it grunts over the economical results of the Emancipation Act, yet it won't listen to the only certain means of re medying the evils produced thereby; it has ex pressed its opinions on migration to the West Indies, and nothing under heaven will induce it to budge from them, however monstrous and absurd, one inch. The Timesa dmits that there is a species of monopoly of labour' in the Westlndies—that the 'negro lives idly three days a week, and dictates his own terms for tht rest; . that large tracts of land have gone out of cultivation for want of the requisite supply of labour;' that there has been a serious and ruinous injury to the planters, and that the achievement of these results has cost the country twenty millions sterling; yet does this sapient journal reject the application of that agency which would destroy the monopoly of labour: which would prevent negro idleness and dictation, which would restore land thrown out of cultivation to the hoe and the plough, and bring into production virgin soil, which would prevent the ruin, and restore the prosperity of the planter, and which would render the purchase of emancipation one of the most remu nerative investments ever made by a nation. What would the Times do with the West Indies ? Would it condemn those possessions to instantaneous ruin by giving the people of England slave-grown sugar ? Or has it resolved to sentence them to the slow pro cess of painless extinction by keeping up the existing • monopoly of labour ?' " The following allusions to Chief Justice Tin ders charge on the opening of the Stafford Special Commission are from the Chronicle :—" In the re marks we recently made on the case of the prisoners about to be tried by the Special Commission, it was our misfortune to offend the taste of a Contemporary Journal; but this calamity is in some degree compen sated by finding that we have, unintentionally, anti cipated some of the positions laid down in the able charge of Chief Justice Tindal to the, Grand Jury. His Lordship strongly affirms the legal right of the workpeople to combine, and by cessation from labour induce, if possible, their employers to forego the reduction of wages, or the enforcement of ob noxious regulations, of which they complained. The offences that followed are put in the light in which we have endeavoured to place them--that of criminal adjuncts or accidents of an original purpose, which in itself was neither criminal nor illegal. And this is, we re peat, a peculiarity in the late disturbances that ought to be constantly borne in mind in dealing with those who have thereby aubjecte 1 thernsel% es to the inquiries and decisions of a judicial tribunal. Hi,. Lordship represents it as no part of the province of himself and his brethren on the bench to enter into the merits of the dispute between the toasters and the men, or to -suggest remedies or preventions fur the evils thence arising. Of any such discussion he speaks as better fitted for a legislative assembly than for the members of this tribunal, to wham the only duty allotted is that of declaring the law as it stands at present.' At the conclusion of his address, however, his Lordship relaxes this restriction, and suggests that the dif fusion of sound religious knowledge, in which there can be no excess,' amongst the labouring classes, is the best security for their orderly behaviou r , and 'for the peace and safety of the community. To the wisdom of this suggestion we readily subscribe. It has been often repeated, and is generally assented to. Yet it still remains merely a suggestion, and so, we fear, it is at present likely to remain. For there is the great practical question to be solved, of hcrw the popular masses are to be made religious." MONEY—TRADE—COIViIeMMIL The convocation at Stuttgadt of the deiegatei of the Germanic Customs' Union has broken up. The attempts to raise the import duties on some of the most important British export articles have failed, and these rates consequently remain unaltered for at least three years to come. These rates chiefly affect our large exports of cotton twists, and iron exported from Scotland. _ _ At Brough-hill fair in Westmoreland, the business done has been good. The same may be said of Pen rith fair in Cumberland, Bampton fair, and Egre mon t fair. LAW AND POLICE. Five of the Ashton Chartists, with Mr. George Southam, a millowner, were committed on Tuesday to take their trials at the Special Commission, for the part taken at meetings in August. Eleven of the Stockport rioters, among whom was Taylor, the shoemaker Chartist, were committed on Monday, after examination, to the Chester Assizes for trial. Barnard Garvin and Mary, his wife, were brought up at Marylebone yesterday for final examination on the charge of having cruelly treated their eldest daughter, starving her, &c. They were both com mitted for trial. James Flukes, Isaac Patch, and Elizabeth Con stable were yesterday charged at Union Hall, with forcibly entering the premises of Mrs. Black will, in Westmorland-place, Camberwell, and removing her furniture and effects. The hearing was postponed, and bail for the appearance of the prisoners accepted. Yesterday, William John Dives, an o ffi cer's ser vant in the Royal Marines, and lary Crisp, were charged at Woolwich, the former with stealing, and the latter with receiving, a 51. note, ring, watch, &c., belonging to Lieutenant Webb, of the Royal Maiines. They were remanded. THEATRICAL. A version of Alma is in preparation at the Adelphi Theatre. Madame Giubilei, of her Majesty's Theatre, is to sustain the principal character.
