The Jamaica Standard furnishes us with an ac ount of the following horrible murder : On Thursday last the inhabitants of this town were throw,i,into an unusual state of painful anxiety, re various rumours which were in circulation - respeentig a murder that was alleged to have been perpet..ated on a young black girl, near Providence estate, and accompanii.d with circumstances of the most revolting brutality. We lost no time in sscer tinning the facts connected with this tragical event, from the most authentic sources, and it is now our painful duty to state that the most exaggerated report of the occurrence which had reached us, has fallen short of the reality. On Thursday last, as Mr. M'Callum, the overseer on Providence, was taking his usual ride round the estate, his attention was attracted by the appearance of an unusual num ber of crows hovering above a certain spot lying off the public read towards the sea beach ; he was there upon induced to ascertain the object of their attrac tion, and, on advancing towards the place, a dis til:lse of about 80 yards from the road, he was horri fied on observing the skeleton of a human body on which the birds had apparently fully completed their horrid banquet. Mr. M•Callum lost no time in summoning persons from the estate, and a more minute investigation of the skeleton took place. The sex of the deceased was determined by the clothing which, though torn, appeared to be that of a girl of about twelve or fourteen years old; with the exception of the hands, the throat, and the legs, on which the skin remained, the body was completely divested of flesh. The arms were bound so forcibly with withes as to have cut through the skin, and thus stretched out to their greatest tension ; the legs were also bound about the uncles loosely with the same substitute for cordage, a piece of stick was found driven up the left nostril, and the general impression on the minds of those who were present appeared to be, that the unforttinate deceased had been violated by some monsters, who had thus cruelly secured her prson in order to accomplish their hellish object ; after which, to prevent detection, they h:...1 thus ruthlessly murdered her, and abandoned het .liser able remains in the callous manner in they were foun'd. _ _ A coroner's inquest was promptly held before Edward Evans Esq. on the same day, at Providence estate, and adjourned to Monday, when the Jury will meet at the Court-house, in this town, at ten o'clock, A.M. • The deceased was a girl of 14 years old, called Maria Duncan, the daughter of a black woman, named Mary Duncan, living in this town; she had been residinc , for a short time with a relation at Running Gut, and was returning to this town on , Sunday lase; on reaching Dunn's Hole at nine, a.m., a woman residing there recommended her not to pro ceed any further until she could do so under the pro tection of some older person, as sonic men had been attacking people on the road • the girl accordingly remained at Dunn's Hole until half past twelve r.m., when she, expressed her impatience to proceed, al leging that her mother was expecting her, and would be disappointed if she did not come ; the renewed ad monitions of the kind-hearted woman she silenced by observing that several persons would be on the road on their return from church, and in this confident ex pectation, the little traveller recommenced a journey, whose fatal interruption and its horrible concomitants has cast an odium on the country, and an appalling gloom on the minds of its inhabitants that will not long be forgotten. We have as yet had no intelligence of the capture ci any of the murderers of the poor girl Duncan. The father, mother, and family have all been in town since the transaction was discovered, and im pute no small degree of blame to the relative of the girl at whose house she resided in the country, and frun whence she was returning unprotected, when waylaid, ravished, and cruelly murdered. There is strong suspicion fixed upon a well-known offender in this community, of the name of Pendrill, or Penril, a brown lad, that was once in the employment of Mr. Parkinson of this town. The police, we learn, has keen out in search of those suspected persons, under the command of Inspector Marltcn, and there may be some hope of their discovery, if they be not secreted on some of the estates near where they have been prowl ing, bv - some equally guilty persons with themselves. 'Since writing the above, a detachment of the police, , under the command of Inspector Marlton, returned to this town at half-past twelve, r. am., having been every night, since Thursday last, engaged in scouring the woods on or about Providence estate ; they suc• ceeded at daylight, yesterday morning, in taking into custody four of the late captured Africans, viz., John Waite, William Spence, William Ross, and Sammy Dunbar ; these persons, all young men, had been en • gap-t, recently in labouring for Providence estate, and occupied an old hospital on that property. We understand that circumstances of strong suspicion at tacit to them.—Cornwall Gazette. LLOYD'S SIIIPeING. EAST INDIA SHIPPING.

AT LONDON BRIDGE THIS DAY. ykrning . 57 minutes alter 7 I Evening 40 minutes after 8. ~~ its LONDON: TUESDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER 13, 1842. We find ourselves, with a feeling of shame and indignation, engaged in a defence of the manufacturing industry of the country of WATT, ARV:WRIGHT, and DAVY. But no person, we he lieve, can read the Tory journals without a con viction that this defence is neeessary. Day after day, and week after week, the manufactures of England are vilified as if they were the causes of poverty and pestilence. They are derided, too, in the names of humanity and benevolence; and because they have not made all those opu lent, or at least prosperous, at all times, whom they have snatched from destitution and death in the agricultural districts, the law is suppli cated to visit those who carry them on with re straints and penalties. _ _ Experience has taught those who have at tended to her lessons, that the interference with a manufacture, as in the cases of glass, malt, brewing, &c., for the manufacture.of which the Excise prescribes the rules, invariably impedes its success. All business is engaged in for profit; where competition is excessive, freedom is neces sary to ensure profit; manufactures, therefore, require perfect freedom; but, despite these les sons of experience, the Tory writers continually demand restrictions on manufactures. The blind leading the blind is a feeble illustration of their presumption. They are the blind, Msisting that those who can see shall Ibllow their groping steps, arid encounter all the mischances to which their want of vision will subject' them. The latest subject to which they have directed their attention, under the auspices of that en lightened legislator Mr. FEItRAND, is the truck system, or the payment of wages in goods, and the Tories are vehemently- indignant with those manufacturers who insist on the workpeople they employ buying at their shop. Some of them pay their work-people in goods instead of money, and certainly fleece •the labourers to a very considerable extent. For their avarice and extortion, which is unfeeling and dishonest, no man can make an excuse. They are un doubtedly very much to blame, though they only imitate the landlords and the clergy. Ex tortion is unhappily the practical rule of life in our society. It neither begins nor ends wth the manufacturers. It is as plainly Perceptibl e i n the Civil List, which is really paid to support the aristocracy, and in the revenues of the Church being wholly engrossed by the priest hood, to the grievous injury of education and of the poor, as in some numufacturers of Bradford compelling their people to take cloth instead of money for their wages, and so paying their workmen twenty or thirty per cent. less than they ought to pay. The manufacturers who fleece their useful labourers in that manner are not to be excused by the similar conduct of other. - classes, and we are not sorry to see the Tory journals reprobating a vice in the former which they applaud in the latter. For us it is not enough to join the Tories in condemning such extortion ; we should like to know how it is that the extortioners amongst the master manufacturers are enabled so to treat their workmen, notwithstanding the .workmen are sensible of it, and notwithstanding the law has b e en sharply directed against such practices. W e ga ve the solution o f t his p roblem ye st e rda y , whe'r we said that " the prior condition of the people threw into the hands of.the factory owners a mass of helpless labourers entirely dependent on their will." Let any one look at the evidence which Mr. FEnRAND'S Committee has collected, and he will find almost every page is studded with paragraphs like these : " It appears very plainly that the manufacturers have the men under their own power, and can do what they think proper with them, w hether good or bad." " T he workmen d are notinform' anitinst the masters; they know ' that the master would turn e ihem off." " The men submit 1i Theyincganpnaoitageintotuh.aegers, situations." "If the men insisted' on they would' hive been dis charged." We could quote scores of such statements, all tending to prove that the labourers are com pletely and helplessly at the mercy of the mas ters. The masters are tempted, by the posses. ' slog of power, into the conunission of dishonesty; and with a complete dominion over their men, a nd a great temptation, they probably deserve praise for their forbearance more than censure for their excess. • Our Contemporaries, however, take advan tage of the truck system prevailing in some ma- 4 A -hh P Tl - - 4\ e t Jit * A • • All 4 = ' "0 11 ' ,7 4.° , 4" ,111 %.

It is not exclusively connected with manufactures. Its origin is the . monopoly of the soil. In fact, the truck system, or the payment of wages in goods, is more gene ral in the agricultural than the manufacturing districts; and probably as great an advantage is taken of the labourers in the one, as in the other. ,The presumption is against the'agricul tural districts, for the peasantry are much worse off than the artisans. - There is nothing morally wrong, however, or unjust in paying wages in goods, if both parties agree. to that mode of payment. What is mo rally wrong, what is unjust, and is very injurious, is the power possessed by the employers of labour over the labourers. That does not belong exclusively to the manufacturing ,system ; on the contrary, it is now possessed by master ma nufacturers, because it was previously possessed by landlords. It is derived rather from the right of property than from any system of agricultural or manufacturing industry, and those who would remedy it mast take other steps than railing against the payment of wages in goods. Our Tory Contemporaries betray on this subject a great deal of juvenile sensibility. Like ignorant, well-meaning lads, they are eager to redress a great wrong, but they know neither its origin nor how to cure it. The best, and perhaps only, remedy for it, is perfectly free trade, which would cause such a demand for the service of labourers, that they might, within certain limits, make their own terms, better their condition, and be gradually restored to independence.

SELFISHASS AND BENEVOLENCE.—Whenever you hear a man boast of his honesty, take care of your purse, is the advice of the most experienced men of the world. By the same rule, those who preach up benevolence are to be suspected of having a sinister design to serve themselves. Who so overflowing with -the anti-selfish doctrine as the clergy ? who so much abound in the world's wealth as they, which is hooked out of other people's pockets by this doctrine ? Pa triotism and the purest devotion to the public welfare are boasted of by the Tories. Somehow or other their professions are found to be compatible with the gathering great wealth and fixing their talons on political power. We know no surer road to a domi nion over the hearts and minds of dupes than always to speak of selfishness as a carnal sin. We, therefore, understand, and so will the public, what the Morning Post means by trying to run down the selfish and exalt the benevolent principle. They will be prepared to submit to some sacrifice of their selfishness, that the benevolence of the income taxers may be highly gra tified. THE QUARRELS OF THE MlGHTY.—Something, it appears, all men must have to quarrel about, and while destitution makes men in the manufacturing districts quarrel for their very existence, those who are amply provided for quarrel about the honour of representing the Dublin University in Parliament. Mr. Devonshere Jackson, the present representative, is to be a Judge, a Mr. Smith Solicitor-General for Ireland, and he and a Mr. Hamilton, another Tory, with their respective partisans, including the Irish Government on one side, and its Orange supporters on the other, have gone to loggerheads as to which of them shall succeed Mr. Jackson. Much ink has already flowed on this redoubted quarrel, many tempers have been soured, and, before it is concluded, most likely some heads may be broken. We look on the dispute with the utmost indifference. Whether the one servitor of the Tories or the other succeed, is of no consequence to the public, which only prays that the factions into which the Tories are divided would annihilate each other, without making such a horrid din. When the Whigs sacrificed their friends no noise whatever was made about it. NEW ZEALAND. — According to a Parliamentary Paper just published, the receipts and expenditure of this new colony between the 2d of May and the 31st of December, 1841, amounted to 27,6011., and the expenditure to 33,0261. Among the items in the receipts are 3,072 t. from the Customs, and 20,7461., the proceeds 'f Land Sales. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. The production of a new five act play, the first ap pearance of Mr. and Miss Vandenhoft since their re turn from America, and the debut of Mr. Charles Pitt, who, it appears, is engaged at this theatre as the young tragedian, were attractions which drew a full house long before the rising of the curtain. The new play is entitled Love's Sacrifice, or the Rival Mer chants, and is from the pen of Mr. Lovell, the talented author of the " Provost of Bruges.' The scene is laid in Paris, where Matthew Aylmer (Mr. Vanden hoff), a rich merchant, has recently been joined by his only daughter Margaret (Miss Vandenhoff), who has been educated in Fingland, her father, who had resided many years in that country, having married an Englishwoman. Aylmer is a widower. Young, beautiful, and accomplished, Margaret attracts crowds of suitors ; the favoured one, however, both of herself and her father is Eugene de Lorme (Mr. Chas. Pitt). Eugene and his sister Herminie (Mrs. W. Lacy) had been left orphans at an early age • their mother had died in giving birth to Eugene, and their father, on his return from the funeral, had been stabbed and thrown into a river by Count du Barry, who had been De Lorme's rival before marriage, and of whom De Lorme had been unfoundedly jealous after. These children had been left to the guardianship of Paul Lafont (Mr. Cooper), a cunning worshipper of Mam mon, who, having been steward to the Count during his lifetime, manages, by forged mortgages, to gain possession of a g reat portion of his children's pro perty after his death. Aylmer, knowing Lafont's villany, has rescued the orphans from his clutches, and has taken Eugene into his family, supplied his wants, and been to him a father. Herminie having married aM. de Vermont, an old man, and having been left a widow, with a tolerable dowry, does not stand in need of his assistance. Among the suitors for the hand of Margaret, is Paul Lafont himself; and he enforces his suit, by showing that if, in stead of being rivals in business, they were partners, the whole wealth of France would flow into their coffers. Eugene is perfectly happy with Aylmer, whom he loves and respects as his father, until Friar Dominic (Mr. Diddear), a Franciscan monk, crosses his path, and taunts him with his sluggishness in suf fering his father's death to remain unavenged, assuring him that the murderer yet lives. Eugene beseeches Aylmer to permit him to seek out his father's mur dererer to be avenged on him, and a highly-wrought scene ensues, in which Aylmer endeavours to temper the impetuosity of Eugene, by assuring him that Du Barry is dead, and impressing on him the duty of forgiveness, even if he lives, and of leaving him to the tortures of his own conscience, of which he draws such a harrowing picture, that the young man, horror-struck, acknowledges that Aylmer was right, and agrees to renounce the pursuit, and Aylmer, to crown his happiness, consents to his mar riage with Margaret. This ' scene, which is most powerfully written, was excellently given by Mr. Vandenhoff and Mr. C. Pitt, and was loudly applauded. Aylmer, too, it appears, has seen the Monk,.and iecollects his face As one seen either in a dream or at some former time, a face of ill omen, associated with fear of some unknown danger. He has tracked the Monk to Lafont's, which adds to his uneasi noss In the third act we find Eugene, and Margaret, and Aylmer assembled together at the house of the latter. Suddenly Paul Lafont enters and demands a private interview with Aylmer ; after some difficulty it is granted, when he informs Aylmer that he has seen the Monk, who has related to him the circum stances attending the death of Count de Lorme,• and the condemnation, par contumace, of Du Barry, to death, and confiscation of his wealth, and then con cludes by saying that this monk informed him that Count Du Barry is not dead, as had been sup posed, but that he was living in Paris and went by the name of Matthew Aylmer. Thun derstruck at this discovery- of his secret by his deadliest the, Aylmer pretenilsthat the blow was given in self defence, that he was unarmed when De Lorme set upon him, that he wrenched De Lorme's sword from his grasp, and with it stabbed him. Lafont with the cool malice of a demon listens to all, reminds him of the sentence against him, and as the price of his silence, demands the hand of Margaret. Aylmer refuses to purchase his life at such a price, but, overcome by his feelings, sinks down in agony, and grovels at the feet of Lafont. Margaret enters and raises her father. Eugene follows her; and leaving her father to the care of Eugene, she retires with Lafont to learn from him the dreadful secret. Convinced at length of her father's guilt, she deter mines to accept the hand of Lafont, to save her father's life. She sees her father, who refuses to permit her to sacrifice herself. Lafont enters; holding out her hand to him she says, e‘ I am ready," and falls sense less at his feet. Aylmer raises his fainting child, spurns Lafont from his presence, and sternly bids him do his worst. Determined to save her father, Margaret sets out alone for Lafont's house. On her road thither she meets with Eugene, and a most heart-rending scene ensues between the lovers, he reproaching her with inconsistency, for he had received a letter from her, in which, with outreason, she rejects his suit, she submitting announcin g to nyhiasreproaches rather than betray her father's secret. At length he declares he will consult his old and tried friend Aylmer, and be guided by his advice, when she kneels to him and beseeches him, as her last request, to promise not to seek Aylmer until the morrow. Having obtained his promise, she leaves him, and he directly afterwards receives a summons from the Monk to meet him with his sister at Paul 1 Lafont's. The last scene takes place at Paul Lafones house, where- the Monk and Lafont are discovered to gether. Margaret enters alone, prepared. as she says, to make the sacrifice. Eugene and Herminie, in obedience to the summons of the Monk, also proclaims immediat e l y f o ll owe d b y Ayl mer,having heard o f hi s d aug h ter ' s inten tion, his g u ilt, an d d e li vers hi mse lf enter, ti on 0 p whoenl and y r to justice to save her.

Satisfied, however, at length, of Aylmer's friendliness, and convinced of La font'shim and villany, he had made the latter his seeming con fidant to unmask him. Avlm€r and De Lorme are reconciled ; Margaret and Eugene are made happy Herminie becomes the wife of St. Lo(Mr. W. Lacy), a young Noble, who for her sake had consented to become for awhile the clerk of Lafont, and who in that capacity discovers his forgeries, and Lafont, declaring he will hang himself, is given into custody of the officers of justice. The play was completely successful, and most deservedly so. It is ably and powerfully written; many passages are of great poetical beauty, and the plot is more artistically constructed than that of any modern play. The interest is one and undivided; it never flags, and it increases in intensity up to the last scene, where it reaches a climax. In too many otherwise excellent plays, the last scene is an anti-climax. Mr. Lovell, however, has too much judgment to commit such a solecism. There is a clever and amusing underplot of the wooing of Her minie End St. Lo, which is very cleverly made to conduce to the development of the main plot, and which, without being a bas d mare is a pleasant relief to the more pathetic scenes. ihe piece was announced for repetition three times a week without a dissentient, and at the fall of the curtain Mr. and Miss Vandenhoff, and Mr. C. Pitt, were called for and received with all the honours. This very l elega n t little house opened for the .QU.kEN"S T HEATRE. winter season last night, having in the rec ess under gone extensive and ve ry decided improvements. The whole of the hous e h as been thoroughly cleansed and re-decorated, and a ve ry handsome new drop scene, painted by Mr. J ames , contributes not a little to the general impro vement i n the internal appearance of the house.

This morning the Queen Dowager arrived at Frog more Lodge,. and. lunched with her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent. Her Majesty was attended from Bushy by her Lady in Waiting. In the afternoon the Queen Dowager and the Duchess of Kent left Frogmore in a .pony phaeton, for a' drive in the Great Park, another pony phaeton following, containing Lady Charlotte Dundas, Lady in Waiting on the Duchess of Kent, and the Lady in Waiting on the Queen Dowager. The Royal party returned to the Lodge from their drive, soon .after five m'clock, and her Majesty the Queen Dowager, attended by her Lady .in Waiting, afterwards left Frogmore, on her return to Bushy Park. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent visited the Prince of Wales and the .Princess Royal at the Castle to-day. Her Majesty the Queen Dowager left her residence Bushy House ' Bushy Park, yesterday morning, for Froginore Lodge, near Windsor, where her Majesty partook of a dejeune with her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, and in the evening returned to Bushy Park. Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence gave a dinner to the Captains of the vessels comprising the Royal squadron during her Majesty's visit to Scotland, on Saturday, at the Royal Hotel, Edinburgh. BAMBURGH MAIL. VIENNA, SEPT. 3.—Count Von Mittrowsky, the chief Aulic Chancellor, died yesterday evening. Count Von Medoni, the Russian Ambassador at this Court, is going imMediately to Johannisberg, in consequence of instructions from his Court, which is so far worthy of remark, as none of the representa tives of the other great Powers has this time followed Prince Metternich, owing to the present tranquil state of political affairs. W.in.s.tw, SEPT. I.—The journals of to-day say that a ielegraphie dispatch, the date of which they do not ghre, has been received from St. Petersburgh, announcing that the Grand Duchess Mary, consort of the Imperial Prince Alexander, has been delivered of a Pri ncess , w ho has received the name of Alexandrina. DRESDEN, SEET. 3.—The scarcity of water, in consequence of which the mills can grind much less than usual, has not on ly caused the price of bread in this city t o be doubled, but has even caused bread to be scarce. A baker who sold bread of bad quality and short of weight was driven out of the city by the people. Scarcely a day passes without bringing accounts of some great fire. The — Leipsig Gazette has a letter from Libentz of September 1, which says, "An awful conflagration, which broke out yesterday at noon, is ravaging the noble forests on the frontiers of Saxony and Bo hemia. It commenced on the Bohemian side, and in a few hours resembled a sea of flame. More than '2OO acres of forest are already destroyed ; in Bohemia the loss is immense. All human aid seems to be in vain. The wind, which now blows towards Bo hemia, drives the flames down the mountain, the detaChed houses 'and' the villages in the forests, are in the greatest danger. Another account says that the tire still continued on the 4th. A thousand men were employed in endeavouring to stop its progress‘ ' . "BERLIN, SEPT. 4.—The day 13:-,fore- yesterday there was a large fire in the village of Vriekebruck, and yesterday we were alarmed at the report that the town of Spandau, in which are the powder magazines, &e., was in flames ; happily, however, it was only a barn in the suburbs of the town. Yesterday evening a building in the park was reduced to ashes. Such ac cidents are the more alarming at a time when the scarcity of water is more and more felt. The Spell and other streams are extremely low. Restrictions in the consumption of water have been issued in several provincial towns. Our markets are we ll supplied, and no rise in prices is to be appre hended. The -official accounts of the flax and tobacco crops in Silesia is very unfavourable.

By the ship Evoretta, Captain Darley, we have received papers from Sydney to the end of April, and from Port Phillip to the 14th of May. The prominent news from Sydney is the revival of differences between the Shareholders and Managers of the British Colonial Loan and Discount Company, in consequence of the refusal of the acting conductor, Mr. Wright, to allow an inspection of the Company's accounts on the requisition of a local board. In con sequence of this refusal, the requisitionists had deter mined upon calling a public meeting, to take the mat ter into consideration. The unpleasantness arising out of this business was not confined to the feeling now exhibited against investigation, but again resus citated the question of the issue of scrip, which occur red some time since, and which, upon being forced upon the London market in the shape of remittances, and refused substantial acknowledgement by the Di rectors, threatened for the moment the dissolution of the Company, and would no doubt have occasioned such a result had it not been timely averted and made a matter of mutual negotiation between the parties interested. The Union Bank was in a more satisfac tory position, for, exercising due caution, they took ad ditional security, and %%ere thereby saved against loss. Another subject occupying a conspicuous place in the columns of the Sydney press was the ill-usage certain females had received on board two emigrant vessels on their passage out. The Carthaginian is one of the vessels, the Captain and surgeon of which had been tried and imprisoned for an unprovoked assault on a young woman named Margaret Ann Bolton. Another vessel is alluded to as having been the scene of crimes of a much greater enormity, and inquiry was also going on in that matter. Affirmed as it is by these papers that these are not solitary instances of the practices prevalent among the crews, and those who have the charge of emigrant veaels, it is by no means unadvisable for those who have the misfortune to seek their acquaintance to be well prepared and fortified against the ruffianly and brutal treatment which it clearly appears they are liable to encounter. From Port Phillip the news comes that a successful expedition against the Bushrangers had been made, their ringleaders were captured, and several had al ready appeared before the local judges, and were doomed to pay the penalty of their crimes, murder and depredation. The revenue returns for the first quarter of the year showed the Customs' receipts to be 12,6731. 10s. Bd., the value of imports 108,1591., and the value of exports 90,298/. The wool exported was 10,000 hales, or 2,500,0001 b. On the state of the weather, it was observed that the late :rains were general, which induced the hope of large supplies of domeStic necessaries, though the feed for cattle was not very plentiful. The condition of the markets is not reported satisfactory, the price of stock fluctuated considerably, the competition of sales under the Sheriff producing a severe action upon the quotations made by the graziers, who, while submitting to the reduc tion in the first instance, took the earliest opportu nity that offered for forcing up the market. The Duke de Nemours arrived at the Palace of Compiegne at one o'clock on the :id inst., and was received on alighting by Generals Dejean, De Ru migny, De Lawcestine Hequet, and De Resigny, and also by the Sub-Prefect and Mayor. The Prince im mediately rode to the camp, and manoeuvred for two hours the 2d and 17th Regiments of Light Infantry, commanded by Colonel Drolleu and the Duke d'Au male, and the 2d battalion of the Orleans Chasseurs, under Chef de Battalion Ulrich. At five o'clock the Royal Duke received the authorities of the town, who were presented to him by . _the Sub-Prefect. At six o'clock on Sunday morning, the Prince went again to the camp, and exercised successively the two divisions of cavalry, under the command of Generals Dejean and Lawcestine. This employed four hours, at the end of which he returned to the Palace. In the course of the afternoon he went to visit General Boyer, his Aide-de-Camp, who has the command of one of the brigades of cavalry, but who is confined, from a severe injury which he received from an acci dent a month ago. At six o'clock his Royal High ness presided at a grand dinner given by him to the General and superior officers of the camp, the Pref ec t of the Oise, the Sub-Prefect, the Mayor, and other authorities, the clergy of Compiegne, and other guests, amounting to sixty. On Monday the Princ e h a d a general review of all the troops forming the camp. The weather was beautiful, and the spectators innu merable, many coming from all parts of the surround ' ing country, At the conclusion, after having passed down the whole of the lines, his Royal Highness or dered all the officers to be formed in circles, and then from his charger delivered an expressive address to them, alluding in. noble but affecting terms to the irreparable loss they had all sustained by the death of the Duke of Orleans, and taking his leave fbr the pre sent with assurance that his feelings and energies were and ever should be devoted to them, and to the task of restoring to France the support of which she had been deprived by her recent loss. This address was received with acclamations of "Vive le Roi ! Vive le Duc de Nemours !" His Royal Highness then went in front of each of the lines, and presented several promotions granted by the King, after which he returned to the Palace. ____ TuE NEw STAMP ACT.—The Act of the sth and 6th Vieturiti, chap, 82, which,. on the 10th of October u nest, will crime into operation, np.)ses a penalty of 100/ . and ten per cent. on the amount of the stamp duty pay able on the probate or administration, upon any person who shall take possession of, and in any manner admi nister any part of, the personal tstate and effects of any person deceased, without obtaining probate of the will, or letters of administration of the estate and effects of the deceased, , 21 , )-?"4 .14 1 0 .14 fj 'nr4f:;Dittait SUN OFFICE Three &Ouch. A singular question for discussion is to be brought before the Town Council of Edinburgh in a few days, but after the remarkable proceed ings of that body lately, in reference to the im prisonment of a poor man for selling " sweeties" on Sunday, and the ridicule they have incurred, perhaps unjustly, by the Granton Pier affair, the public will pot be surprised at any decision they may give. The event which they are to take into serious consideration is not of yesterday, but took place nearly fifty years ago, and it appears had been brought under the notice of their worships by a Tory Bailie, who hates the very name of Reform, and who would on that account persecute the memory of those who in 1793 sacrificed their liberty in the cause. Some of our readers will remember that about four years ago subscriptions were raised for erecting monuments in London and Edin burgh to the Scotch Reformers, who, towards the close of the last century, were banished for pro. posing measures which Lord GREY proposed then, brought forward afterwards, and finally car ried. The Committee appointed to carry the object of the subscribers into effect, after some difficulty obtained leave from the Town Council to erect the Scotch monument on the Calton-hill, but they have since demurred to the grant, on the objec tion raised by some three or four Bailies, that Mum and his unfortunate comrades were " men unworthy of any memorable notice, having been legally tried and convicted by the law of their country." Instead of rejecting at once such an ungenerous plea for casting dishonour on the dead, the Council adjourned the question for some weeks, in order to give the members an opportunity of reading the trials, so as to be en abled to decide on the justice of the motion. Some idea, therefore, may be entertained of the reading, as well as the intelligence, of these sa pient Councillors, who appear to be ignorant of one of the most remarkable events in the history of their country, and are obliged to refer to the State Trials for information. Had the Lord Provost, who is now called " JAMIE FORREST," been true to the Liberal principles which he pro fesses, or acquainted with the events of which the lowest peasant would be ashamed to admit his ignorance, he would have raised his voice against this new , system of persecution, and boldly told these Tory Councillors, as the House of Com mons was told at the time, that the sentence of MUIR and PALMER was " most unjust, and oppressive." S ome o f th e first men of that day described the deed in language still stronger. Mr. Fox, in 1794, said, "in examin ing the trials, he never could believe they were accuratelystateduntil he heard the Lord Advocate avow the same doctrines which had been attri buted to him—doctrines which made his blood run chill with horror." Several other Members of the House, as well as Peers, expressed similar sentiments. These sentiments are now confirmed by the universal voice of the country ; and all seem aware of the fact, except the intelligent Town Council of Edinburgh. We have received a letter on the subject, for which we cannot find room to-day; but in the meantime we exhort the respectable inhabitants of Edinburgh to raise their voice against such an act ofpersecution, and thereby avert an act which would be an eternal disgrace to their city. The late allocution of Pope GREGORY XVI., detailing the negotiations between the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh and the Holy See, on the sub ject of the persecution of the Roman Catholic religion in Poland by the Russian .Government, is exciting much attention in Berlin, Vienna, and Paris. The Cabinet of Vienna has always been peculiarly sensitive upon the subject of the persecution of a faith professed by the Imperial head of the Holy Roman Empire; and even the King of PRUSSIA, as head of the German Lutheran Church, regards the Greek religion us much more corrupt, as well as dangerous, than the Roman Catholic. But it is on political grounds that the exposure by the POPE of efforts making by Russia to compel her Polish subjects to embrace the Greek communion, excites the most serious alarm. It is felt that while the Poles adhere to their religion, they can never become amalgamated with Russia. Let the CZAR do what he will, the Poles will be Ger mans to the heart's core while they continue Roman Catholics. This is well understood by the Emperor NICHOLAS. He is aware that the nominal conquest of Poland is little worth, while, as bead of a hostile creed, he can acquire no in fluence over their minds. As if to counteract the designs of Russia, the King of PRUSSIA chooses this moment to confer favours upon his Polish subjects, and to express displeasure at the re strictive commercial policy of the CzAR. Russia is i❑ fact assailed on the one side by Prussia, and on the other by the POPE. We anticipate im portant results. We have frequently complained of the igno rance which French journalists manifest when treating of British policy. This complaint we cannot reiterate in referring to an article in the Journal des Debats of Sunday, on the policy of Sir R. PEEL. Our French Contemporary is as happy as he is correct in his description of Sir ROBERT'S tactics, which have proved so fatal to die old Tory faction. We should observe that Sir R. PEEL has always been a favourite with the Debats. What the writer regards as singu larly characteristic of the• Conservative Premier, namely, his quarrelling oftener with his friends than his enemies, is the result of his being in a false position. The real truth is, that Sir R. PEEL himself is not, and never was, a Tory. He was a Whig, and is a Whig to this hour ; but personal jealousy forced him enrly into a false position, from which he never recovered himself. This is the real key to what appears to have puz zled the Debats at the outset of the following extract : It is a singular characteristic of this English states man, that he is much oftener at loggerheads with his friends than with his foes. Sir Robert is a practical man, caring little for theories except for the realisable part of them, or for general principles, except such portion of them as is immediately applicable. He, therefore, is apt to accommodate his political ideas to the exigencies of time and circumstance, and to re duce his conceptions to the smallest size. • This angers extreme parties, who look on politics from the heights of speculation, and trouble their heads but little about what is practical. Nevertheless, Sir Robert Peel has shown himself certainly most cruel towards his friends. They confided in him dictatorial power, and un bounded confidence • in return for which lie has abro gated, destroyed, and showed the vanity of all those illuSions of theirs, which he helped to create, at least, by his acquiesen ce . Th e rea l T or i es , o r old landed interest, who quitted power in 1830, have remained un- changing in the ideas which they entertained at that epoch, whilst Sir Robert, and his Conservative placemen, have modified their opinions with each advancing year, and accepted a world of changes and reform as faits accomplis, which their followers still continue to anathematize and abhor. If Peel had told the electors before the election what he was going to do with the Corn-law, Poor-law, Income-tax, &c., &c., Sir Robert Peel would have had an insignificant minority. He was indeed discreet, held his tongue, and his pocket, from which, he said, he was afraid of the Whigs filching his ideas. But the prudent Peel has not the less cheated all the world, his own friends the more especially. But whilst Sir Robert was dis creet, his followers were very indiscreet; they thun dered against the Poor-laws, declared the Corn-laws should be upheld, and swore one thousand promises, not one of which the Prime Minister has allowed them to keep. Never was an unfortunate party so dragged through the mire as the Tories. IV o wonder that the said Tories feel hurt and ashamed. For ten years they were crying against the financial and commercial reform of the \‘' higs as decidedly reVolutionary. At last they came into power, and they hear after the first session the Minister of their choice boast— Thad he has effected more changes in one year in the commercial and financial administrati on of the country, than the Whigs in ten years!" All this, as regards the conduct of Sir ROBERT PX I is most true. However he may have dis . api Hat tithe hopes held'out by hint to the ope natives, Ivlien describing himself as the ;:rell State Physician, he still more cruelly disair pointed the Buckinghams and Richnionds of the Tory party. Were the old Tories not the most stupid of dolts they would have foresee° this.. For who were the men by whom Sir R. PEEL surrounded himself? Apostates fro° Whiggery, almost to a man—bv men whoie best Parliamentary clays were devoted to casting' down the strongholds of Toryism. Such men are Sir . J. GRAHAM, Lord STANLEY, and the Earl of RIPON—in fact, all who were allowed to bare:: any real share in directing the policy of the Go'7. vernment. Yes; however, we may complain:of Sir R. PEEL, he has certainly the merit of'doingi-: more in one se4sMn to destroy. Toryisin that tlie Whigs did during their long tenure of office. To: save himself, therefore, from the vengeance of the Tories Sir R. PEEL must of necessity becoM e more and more liberal, or fall altogether. Safe.ti for him there is none, except in the Liberal caioP'', Hence the talk lately about a coalition, which not so groundless as the Tories are inclined to . suppose. There is no domestic news of any interest ju t , the French journals received this morning. course there was no truth in the report of tile French Government being about to establish a bench of Bishops in the French Chamber. of Peers. The clergy in France wisely confine themselves to their spiritual duties, and the Go' vernment is not so foolish as to think of dragging, them into the arena of party politics. A politics` prieSthood is a moral and religious abomination . The news given by the journal, the To/dm/ant s ,' / respecting the approaching return of Admiral Hue squadron to Toulon, contains some points which deg serve the attention of the public. We find— That the Vice Admiral is to be succeeded byl! Rear Admiral. That the post of Commissary of the Squadron je t 0 be suppressed. That a certain number of seamen, and of the work'' men in the arsenal of Toulon, are to be dischargej• If a Rear-Admiral is to take the place of a Vice' . Admiral, so be it; the general officers may take en% ether's places, whatever difference there may be k , their position. We grant this, provided that the cho e ; be made with discernment, though it is contrary , t ai the regulations of 31st October, 1827, for the nnv service. • of But the suppression of the post of CommissarV the Squadron is a more serious deviation. It i; l° . the sake of economy, but what economy is there 11, suppressing the post of the agent, whose business is to control the expense,. of a whole squadr°, l ' . As for the discharge of some sailors and workm: we must suppose that only those will be dischar ce whose time of service is expired, and that their Ph' e ,, will be filled by others ; but if it is meant to redu, the numbers of men, this would ill agree with l' will of the Chambers, so energetically manifested o b' the 'close of the last legislation, and which will doubtlessly found in the new Chambers.—Consn' tionnel.
