There is, consequently, no more moral demerit in wishing to alter existing institutions than in wishing to retain them, and on this point Sir R. PERI. has no other pre-eminence over Mr. O'Costrat than that he flatters the prejudices and the passions of those who are in possession of political power, and anxious to keep it. Mr. O'Costston,andall that class of men, affirm that they mean to promote the public welfare. In general their motives are considered different, and it is shrewdly suspected that they only want to promote their own interest. Nor can we wonder whatever protestations they make at the existence of the suspicion. So many persons in various ages and countries have tried their bands at schemes to this end without success; it is felt by all reasonable men, at least when new political schemes are broached—that society is so extremely complicated, its interests are so varied and so vast--so much beyond the compre hension, let alone the grasp, of any ordinary human intellect—that those who propose schemes 12,000 for the re-formation of society are generally 10,000 do. 5,000 do. looked on as mere visionaries or desi(rnin , o 8,000 do. knaves. No sensible person trusts them. Only 'lOO do. do. very ignorant men, or men plunged in despair from the long continuance of unrelieved oppres sion, believes their assertions, or derive any hope from their promises. But if these men are suspected, none but sheer spoonies believe the landlords and their toadies, when they assert, or it is asserted for them, that they have the good of society at heart. Selfish ness, unmitigated selfishness, is engraved on all their acts. They aim at no other object than to preserve their own power, secure their own ease, increase their own enjoyment, and augmen t their own wealth. We do not state that as a reproach to them; it is human nature, and it is too well known for their pro testations of disinterestedness to be for one moment believed. Between them and the demagogues there is no other difference what ever than that they are in possession of privileges, and the others wish to share them. The insti tutions which they seek to preserve, are as ex clusively founded on selfishness as would be the institutions the others propose. On this ground we cannot see that the demagogues are more blameable than the aristocracy ; or that those who flatter the multitude have any greater de merit in their attempts to attain political power, than those have who flatter the prejudices of the selfish landlords to the same end. If, as the opponents and enemies of dema gogues—those who, being in possession, wish to remain undisturbed—assert the conduct of the demagogues is so worthy of reproach, we hope they will excuse us for saying that their own greatest favourites are just as liable to such reproaches as the demagogues. That the dema gogues know better is not certain ; but it can scarcely be supposed that statesmen do not. We conclude on the whole, therefore, that the former are possibly the better men of the the two, as they are more honest and more sincere. PARISIAN LIFE.

Circulars containing a description of the fugitive have been sent in all di rections. Yesterday morning, at eleven o'clock, the ex-Ge neral Vandermeere now convalescent, Was removed from the house of his mother to the prison of the Petit Carmes. :Yesterday the son of General Vandersmissen, accused of having favoured the escape of his father, underwent a long examination by the Judge who conducts the inquiry.

It appears that some persons were waiting for Ge neral Vandersmissen at a short distance from the prison. They threw a cloak on his shoulders, and proceeded to a spot where horses were ready, which the fugitives instantly mounted, and taking the road from Schaer beck to Eva and Westerloo, at half-past eleven, on the following day, they were in a place of safety, ex hausted with fatigue ; they had not stopped a moment by the way. The riders were 'obliged to be lifted from their horses, and the poor beasts immediately fell to the ground. The Magistrates have received information that Madame Vandcrsmissen and her youngest son have ar rived at Aix-la• Chapelle. HANOVER, Nov. 4.—We have received from &Ahern Kirchen, where his Majesty the King has gone on a hunting party, the afflicting intelligence that the con tinued indisposition of his Majesty has so increased that he is obliged to keep his room. When we perceive with sorrow that the King's vigorous constitution is no lorger capable of great bodily exertion, and that almost every journey is fol lowed by indisposition, it seems unlikely that he will undertake the long journey which the journals have spoken of.

NOVEMBER 14, :1842. Tr. O'Coxxon, and every other demagogue, is I% . proached with seeking rower by flattering the passions and prejudices of the people. To flatter lion and prejudice, therefore, in order to gain power, is an immoral thing, worthy of reproach. Li what respect, however, does Sir ROBERT PEFL differ from Mr. O'Coxxort ? He first flattered the passions and the prejudices of the landowners the Conservatives to gain, and he still con tinues to flatter them to keep, power. He gives i.%; his own opinions and adopts theirs. We are aware, indeed, of one great difference between the men. It is not said, and certainly not proved against Mr. O'Comkton, whatever may ho surmised, that he is not hearty and sincere in believing that the scheme of policy vhich he proposes, and which would confer power on hitn, would be very beneficial to the community at large. But it is asserted by Sir R. PEEL that it would be fbr the advantage of the community for individuals to he allowed to buy always at the ch:atpest market, and . yet he opposes their demands out of' deference to the men he serves. Mr. O'CoNNon may be sincere in his flatteries and in his appeals to the prejudices of the multittide.. Sir R. PEEL is insincere in succumbing to the 1 prejudices of the landowners, and this moral dif ference between the two is all to Mr. O'Cort- NOR's advantage. There is another difference betwixt them which is oponsi-dered extremely favourable to Sir R. Pear., though it appears to have no moral recom tymdation. Mr. O'CoNrion flatters the preju dices and passions of the multitude, in order to irca, if he can, great political chanfres • Sir R. doe - s the same thing to prevent such otiaziges. He wishes to keep institutions as they are, .'or only slowly and covertly, as in the case of the Canada Corn law, to alter them. It is re(4toned a merit in hint to stand by old institu tioas, and a demerit in Mr. O'CoNNoa that he Wiii.eS to alter them. The praise of the one and the blame of the other is just, if the old institutions be good, and lb proposed institutions bad, not otherwi se . Now no man can foretell with perfect certainty that Mr. O'CONNOR'S plan would lead to evil, all the moderate and the influential clasz;ea believe it would; at the same time, it is quite certain that the laws and institutions which SirROBERT ?EEL upholds, have caused great evil to society. Look at the load of taxa tion which is part of their produce. Look at the gross ignorance, chilling poverty, and ex treme misery of great multitudes of the people, which those institutions have been expressly trained to prevent, and have not prevented. Look at the State protecting, the clergy, who preach poverty as a virtue, in extortinm, year after year, an immense revenue from b a starving people. Look at the landowners, secured in a monopoly of the so il, making that advantage a pretext, and passing laws to carry out the pretext, for stinting Ile people's food, and stifling their trade. Look at the upper cla , ses, particularly the landowners, claiming SCANDAL IN HIGH LIFE. The following letter has been addressed to the Observer of yesterday, and in giving it insertion we have only to remark that the report to which it re fers has been prevalent for three weeks, and that the distance between Leeds and London can be per formed in less than ten hours : " Sir,—His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge's name having appeared in the Observer of the 30th ult., connected with certain infamous and ca luranious reports, reflecting upon the honour of a member of a Noble family, I am commanded by his Royal Highness to give his most unqualified and indignant contradiction to them, and to request that, as you have (though doubtless without any ill-feel ing) assisted in giving currency in your paper to these reports by a quotation from another paper, you ' will, in common justice, give insertion to this letter without delay. " His Royal Highness Prince George's absence with his regiment at Leeds has prevented this con tradiction being sent to you in time for your paper of last Sunday.

Of the geese, several weighing about 101 b. each, were sold for 3s. ; a few of the ducks sold for 2s. Cd. a couple ; and three or four swine, Weighing from 3? F st. to 4st., were sold for 2ls. each.

THE SU'N, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 14, 184'2 MR. GEORGE ROBINS'S FARMS I FOR EMIGRATION TO THE CAPE. At a time when emigration proceeds more rapidly than ever, and thousands are annually in quest of homes upon other shores, it becomes of vital im portance that the character of all such scenes of coloni zation should appear in their real light, so as to stand only by their intrinsic merits—divested of those colours which interested motives are so apt to employ, as of that false brilliancy of description, which dazzles only to delude. If, however, it can he shown that, uniting in itself both physically and in a commercial point of view, the high recommendatory advantages, without the detractive influences of other emigrant domains— there exists a portion of country so abounding in natural capabilities as to allow it justly to be sym bolized by the horn of Amaßisen or the lap of Ceres —if a region in particular can be set before the emi grant—where, from the exuberance of production, arising from fecundity of soil, wealth will crown labour with more ample prosperity than it could pos sibly anticipate—where, too, from unfluctuating temperature and purity of climate—from copiousness of water and a situation so localized as to have the best ports and harbours within command for every purpose of traffic and communication, thereby securing to the possessor the blessings, no less than the most important and substantial benefits of this life,—such must irrefutably be deemed by the most fastidious mind, are emigration spot, whose name has only to be disclosed to be sought after instantaneously by all who look to the realization of fortune and solid independence. Committees under Government have frequently sat of late, whose object has been that of strict inquiry into the existing state of the various emigration fields abroad, and the unbiassed evidence in such cases adduced can be considered the only safe guide to the intending emigrant and settler. Leaving the FRUITFUL COLONY AT THE CAPE last for consideration, an excur sive glance at the different most inviting fields will speedily put the emigrant in possession of their com parative recommendations or disadvantages as con trasted with that to which we desire to draw the especial attention of. the reader. Perhaps no more destructive field can be mentioned than the class of West India islands, Jamaica, Deme rara, with Sierra Leone and the Mauritius. Malig nant fever—a climate which on British constitutions acts invariably with fatal effects—a supply of un willing labour from blacks, which is totally inadequate to the market demand, are among the least evils of regions which, as regards Europeans, have been de signated a " tropical pest-house. Canada ranks in the same category, though in another way ; rough and uncongenial of climate, its cold snow surface, extends in wastes and unproductive moors; ague, fever, and consumption, attack the adult, while the severity of the winter kills off half the offspring. Its dreary swamps and unfelled forests imbue the sickly settler with their own sombre and unhealthy cast : timber if cut, can never in most cases become a staple article of export, being too distant from market to be worth carriage; the climate is favourable to no kind of sheep ; paucity of winter forage precludes the keep of cattle, and grain is also too distant from market to realize a profit in its growth ; supplies are equally inadequate, and slovenly cultivation marks the whole surface. Arid of soil and destitute of water, Australia, with the exception of its small capital at Sydney, is no less characterised by unfitness for til lage and habitation, and its distance from England is fearful. Its peculiar adaptation for sleepwalks is its only saving quality. In contradistinction to these, the ELIGIBILITY OF THE . COUNTRY AT THE CAPE for colonization i s un i versa lly acknowledged, and its peculiar adaptations in this respect are among the most powerful reasons that should induce intending English emigrants to occupy its most favourable spots without hesitation or delay. Of these, the finest in this capacious and luxuriant country, may be considered the farms and lands be longing to Mr. George Robins, which he has just purchased, extending to 43,000 acres, containing some of the richest pasture-lands that the agriculturist could covet, with vineyards cultivated on its slopes, and orchards of fruit abundant in their produce. Mr. Robins's judgment in the selection of land is not very likely to be questioned. It may be unhesitatingly averred, after glancing with the mind's eye over the surface of the whole of our colonial dependencies, that no spot exists in the entire number, which for the purposes of cultivation or commerce can compete with this estate. Tra versed throughout its full length by the waters of the river Traka it possesses on this scor e a magn ifi cent ad vantage. thought, the peculiar bane and characteristic of almost all our colonies in either hemisphere, which abridges life, and nullifies production, can never be expected here, whilst the profusion of supply afforded, will tend to throw the acres of the agriculturist into unparalleled productibility, and accommodate the mills of the manufacturer with advantages of the most en viable description. Containing, thus, within its compass, every high desideratum of fruitfulness, extent, and beauty, as regards its natural competencies, the estate under consideration, as connected on the other hand with adjacent localities, is superiorly situated than at the Cape. Exactly central between the four great ports of this part of the African Continent, it lies within eight hours journey of two, and, by beaten roads, within moderate reach of the others. Singularly ad vantageous when viewed in this relative point of view, it assumes a far more important aspect, when consi dered as lying at but half the distance from the mother cpuntry, as compared with New South Wales, which, with all its drawbacks and adverse features, is resorted to so densely by emigrants. Again, as c orn _ pared with that over-rated, but in most respects, de ceptive colony, the shearing time is the same, but there exists this superlative advantage over its rival, that the Cape wools can be marketed two or three months prior to those of Australia. Thirdly, the freight is one-third less, and also the insurance; while fourthly, the land is to be obtained so much more ad vantageously and stock is so much cheaper, that a man of very circumscribed capital has here the chance to occupy and stock a large farm with the same sum that would in New South Wales be required merely to purchase land. Having thus shown synoptically and generally the broader advantages of Mr. Robins's estate, we now proceed to particularise from correct and unimpeach able data, its minor, but not less important charac teristics, in a manner that may at once serve for the guidance and attention of the capitalist and intending emigrant. Slabbert's Poort, the thriving portion of property in Mr. Robins's possession, so called, has been hitherto exclusively devoted to grazing purposes, with some part occupied with garden ground and vineyards. A sufficient quantity of arable land has been in cultiva tion to grow wheat, oats, and barley for the consump tion of the residents and their stock; with a view to profit much more will he done ; and it must never be lost sight Of, THAT THE LANDS HAVE NOT TO BE CLEARED, EUT ARE READY TO COMMENCE ALL SORTS OF AGRICULTURAL PURSUITS FORTHWITH. On the estate there is a house and farm buildings, suited to a farmer and his family, and the facility to erect more is manifest, as there is no want of materials at hand for the immediate construction of others. The fertile spot—THIS PRINCIPALITY—ex tending to FORTY-THREE THOUSAND ACRES, se lected by Mr. George Robins, IN THIS VAST TER RITORY, and known as Slabbert's Poort—lS TO BE LET RENT FREE FOR THE FIRST YEAR, and then for seven years AT ONE SHILLING PBR ACRE PER ANNUM, AND NO TAXES. It is situate in S. lat. 33, 15 to 20, and long. 23, 13 to 15 E. of Greenwich, and 50 and 300 i miles 150 ile miles occupies a s p ace of 6711- square miles, or thereab ou t s . It 3oe liesar 0 60 n Cape ti e Algoa of of utßhayof, and the between it ny s n t River and Plcttenburg Bay. There is a direct waggon road passing through the estate from Cape Town to Algoa Bay, and this route forms a commu nication with the route branching off to Beaufort. The nearest town to Slabbert's Poort is Beaufort, but there are a great meny valuable farms in the neighbourhood. The produce raised on Slabbert's Poort would soon find its way to Algol Bay for shipment, and thence direct to England. The pasturage will carrry twenty or even thirty thousand sheep, and the wool (to be seen at Mr. Ro bins's offices) is nowhere to be surpassed. The mar kets of the Cape are held at Zwellendam, Worcester, George, Graff Reinit, Graham's Town, and Port Elizabeth, for the disposal of produce. The merchants in these places are generally the purchasers by whom it is forwarded to England. From recent experience, it is pretty certain that the breeding of wool-bearing sheep is the most profitable mode for the .employment of capital. The present year's clip will he fully 2,000,0001b5., the value of which is 100,0001. Five Years since the export of wool was not 30,0001. In five years more, the increase may be five times greater than it is at present. Grain and wool, two grand staples in human affairs, are already the permanent products of these fertile settlements. The voyage to the Cape is generally performed in a couple of months (Nea Zealand and Australia oc cupy five months), the freight for passengers ranges from about 12/. for the steerage to 50/. for the best cabin, including provisions, with a proportionate sum for intermediates. 101. for the steerage is the con- ' tracting price for a number of emigants. However, any additional information on this subject will be easily acquired on application at any of the ship brokers' offices, in London or the provinces. A steam vessel of five hundred tons, named the Phmnix, plies between Cape Town and Algoa Bay, and calls at the intermediate seaports to land passengers. After having set before the reader such manifold inducements as Slabberes Poort possesses for emigra tion, it would be a work of supererogation to dilate fur ther upon its myriad advantages. Success and prosperity must inevitably attend the decision of those, who, placing themselves in themidst of its growing prody.c- tiveness and wealth, will almost involuntarily realize more astonishing benefits and extraordinary results than, for the attention and acceptance of the emigrant, ani other part of the world can advance. Mr. Robins s estate is divisible into - farms from 500 to 5,000 acres each, FREE FROM RENT for one year, and afterwards it is a mere trifle; tesides which, Mr. R. is fully prepared to deal most liberally with emigrants of small capital, BUT AN UNEXCEPTIONABLE REFERENCE FOR CHARACTER. COURT CIRCULAR. His Imperial Highness the Archduke Frederick of Austria, attended by his suite, visited the Reform Club on Saturday morning, and was conducted by 1 Mr. Scott through the principal rooms. His Imperial Highness entered his name in the subscription-book for the plan of the kitchen, and also viewed the paint ings by the late Madame Sover, and ordered several engravings of the "Young IsraFlites." The Lords of her Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council !net in the Court of Exchequer at two o'clock on Saturday afternoon, to settle the roll of Sheriffs far the ensuing year. The Right lion. H. Goulburn presided in his Official Robes as Chancellor of the Exchequer. The other Privy Councillors present were the Lord Chan cellor, Lord Wharncliffe, Lord President ; the Earl of Ripon, President of the Board of Trade; Lord Den man, Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Queen's Bench ; the Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, the Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer, Sir James Graham, Secretary of State for the Home Depart ment; Sir James Parke and the Honourable Thomas Erskine. Judges Gurney, Williams, Coltman, Manic, and Wightman also assisted at the ceremony. The names of the English counties were read over in alphabetical order, and also those of the three gentlemen nominated for each on the morrow of St. Martin last year. Tho Judges then named a gentle man in lieu of the present Sheriff, and at the same time submitted to their Lordships for their decision the excuses and objections made by parties already in the list against serving the office. When exemptions were allowed, the Judges submitted other names in the place of those taken off the roll. Where letters or memorials against serving the office had been forwarded - to the Privy Council, they were read and submitted by the Hon. William Bathurst, the Clerk of the'Countil in Waiting. Three gentlemen having been nominated for each county, their Lordships adjourned. Sir Robert Peel left town on Saturday, for his seat, Drayton Manor, Staffordshire. His Excellency Edward Everett, the United States Minister, had an interview with Lord Stanley on Saturday, at the Colonial-office. The Rev. A. M. Campbell had also an interview with his Lordship. Dispatches from the Governor of Gibraltar were received yesterday, at the Colonial-office. HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO WALMEIt CASTLE. WALMER, SATURDAY, Two, P.M.—The boisterous south-west gales which sprung up yesterday increased last night, and a tremendous sea is now rolling in the Channel. Her Majesty could not possibly have selected a more favourable season fur witnessing the varied and magnificent effect of the ocean when lashed into fury by the storm. The violence of the wind this morning prevented either of the French mail-packets from entering Dover harbour, and shortly before nine o'clock they were seen in company with a French passage-boat, beating their way down the Channel towards Deal, where, after laying-to for some time, the bags were landed by the boatmen of that port. Her Majesty, who was at breakfast when the mails passed, sent out to Captain Lane, the super intending Governor of the Castle, to learn their name and destination. The packet which should have reached Dover last night was also compelled to put into Ramsgate harbour. Vessels are continually beating about in distress, and the boatineai and pilots are all activity and bustle. The rain fell in torrents this morning until half past ten o'clock, about which time the clouds broke, and cleared off before eleven. Her Majesty and the Prince were again on the beach, unattended by any of the household. On this occasion they walked to wards Deal, and, although their previous trip on Fri day was reported to have set the inhabitants on the qui vice, their privacy was uninterrupted by any indi vidual. A storm of rain again coining on, obliged the Queen and Prince to make a hasty retreat to the Castle; but before the entrance was gained the sun shone out, and the walk was extonded towards" Dover Cliffs, The wind was very high, and a little incon venient to the Queen, but both her Majesty and the Prince seemed to enjoy the breeze very much, and after viewing with much apparent interest the waves dashing on the beach, they returned to the Castle a little before twelve o'clock. During the walk a poor man, who has in his possession a very curious weeks ago by the D ea l b oa t men dog, saved a . few from the wreck of the Russian timber ship, was ac costed by the Queen, who desired to know what kind of animal it , was ? The poor fellow related its his tory, and appeared well gratified with the resu lt. Her Majesty's known partiality for, cani ne p e t s will elucidate this fact, which might o th erw i se appear somewhat singular. Shortly after mid-day the clouds cleared off, and the sun shone out brightly. The carriages were ordered for three o'clock, and it was generally believed that her Majesty would proceed in the direction of Dover. The readiness and zeal displayed by all is the almost vain endoavour to make the Castle a suitable abode for Royalty is very praiseworthy, and though the ac commodation it affords is certainly not of the first order, her Majesty is said to have expressed her most perfect satisfaction with the arrangements. Her Majesty and Prince Albert returned to the beach last evening about four o'clock, and walked a considerable distance along the strand, but the wind was so high that it was with the greatest difficulty she could stand against it. She, however, persevered for some time, and only returned when the clouds began to thicken. Prince Albert, after returning from the beach, walked to Weimer in company with Colonel Murray, and her Majesty, in company with Viscount Sidney spent so me time in the galleries of the Castle. The Hon. George Anson arrived at Wilmer and a n 1 Ladyerlast nig Portman, ht, company with the Hon. Miss Devereux; from Herne Bay, to which place they had proceeded by steamer. A residence on the Parade has been engaged by Mr. &under.; for Mr. Anson and Viscount Sidney. The Royal dinner party last evening consisted only o:" those who dined with her Majesty and the Prince on Thursday. No invitations have been issued for to-day, and it is stated to be her Majesty's desire that her sojourn at Widmer should he as private as possi ble. During the gale this morning a French fishing boat of considerable burden brought to at a very short distance from the shore, opposite Wilmer Castle. Its extraordinary appearance attracted the attention of her Majesty, and the character of the vessel was explained to her. There is a law against French fishing-boats coming within three miles of our coast, while our Gallic neighbours have .forbidden English fishermen to appear within three leagues. The infraction of such an enactment, under the eve and observation of the Sovereign, would have been the acme of impu dence ; but it is due to the captain of the boat to say that no such illegality was attempted. The Thunderer is still lying off, but the wind has obliged Captain Pring to keep her " taut," and the top-gallant masts, Which were lowered yesterday, have not been again raised. The Royal salute fired from the ship yesterday morning, was on account of that of the previous night having been made after sun-set, in answer to the one from the battery of the Castle on the arrival of. her. Majesty. The Duke of Wellington presided yesterday at a Court of Warden s o f th e Cinque Ports, h e ld a t th e CoUnCil ChaMber, Dover. The surveyors and en gineers of the railway were in attendance, and some very important business was transacted relative to that undertaking. It is finally arranged that the terminus shall be brought close to the South Pier. 'The weather is still fine, and seems likely to con tinue so. It is generally rumoured that Prince Albert is about to succeed the Duke of Wellington in the high and honourable office of L o rd Warden of the Cinque Ports, and that his present visit in company with her Ma jesty is but th e preliminary to f u t ure t r i ps o f a some what different char ac t er . The advanced ago of his Grace, and hi s sion to be re li eved from official duties, would appear expressed wish on more than one ocea to strengthen the rumour into fact. SUNDAY.—This morning, at twelve o'clock, her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert at tended divine serv i ce i n t h e D u ke of Welli ng t on ' s small dining-r oom, now used as the drawing-room: The Rey. Mr. Wilb er f orce , Vicar of Widmer, of& elated. The whole of the Royal suite were present. The boisterous stormy weather prevented her Ma jesty leaving the Castle to-daY.. The Prince of Wales and Princess Royal have been detained within the Castle from the siune cause. At three o'cloa, — noilTvitlistanding the wind and rain, his Royal Highness Prince Albert walked for some fling on the beach with his dogs. His Royal Highness was attended by the Hon. C. A. Murray. The Royal dinner party this evening will include, in additi on t o th e R oya l suite, Mr. and the Hon. Mrs. Anson, covers being laid fur thirteen. On the night of Friday a strong south-west gale started the anchor of the Thunderer man-of-war, about 30 fathoms; there was no damage, however, done to this fine vessel. Several merchant vessels lost their anchors, and ran into Ramsgate ; yesterday three Post-office packets from France, after landing their mails, took refuge in the sluices, and returned in the afternoon. The wind continues strong from the same quarter. The Post-office packet the Courier, Captain Langlois, which left Calais at two on Satur day afternoon, lan led its dispatches at Deal, instead., r. of landing them at Dover. Vessels outward bound are collecting in the Downs in great numbers, from their not being able to get down the Channel. About one o'clock a Lisbon steamer, outward bound, hoisted a waft for a boat; seven men instantly put ofT, and were observed to reach the vessel, and in less than ten minutes the boat disappeared and the vessel bore back to the Margate roads. The Prince of Wales boat was instantly launched, when they discovered the wreck of the galley, but could hear no tidings as to the fate of the crew. g •• ,§un. tonLßttto SUN OFFICE Three &Cluck. The Cheltenham Free Press publishes an ac count of one JosEPn HAvEs having been sen tenced to two" months' imprisonment in the Northleach House of Correction, for beating his wife. In that period, we presume from the con dition of the prison, the insufficient diet, and the hard labour, the prisoner became very much diseased, and applications were made to the Ma gistrates, it is not stated with what effect, to re mit the remainder of his sentence. The case is noticed lucre, as a specimen of the offences for which Magistrates are in the habit of summarily convicting men—and we shall presently see how numerous are such convictions—and exposing them to all the horrors of imprisonment. We do not deny that beating a wile, though it be allowed in the civilised empire of the CZAR, is a great offence ; but we much doubt whether the punishment, two months in Northleach, be not a greater crime towards the prisoner com mitted by the Magistrates, than he committed towards his wife. It would be bad for us all if criminals forfeited all the rights of man, for few of us are perfectly free from offences, though we may not WI under the authority of the Magis trates ; and criminals not having forfeited the rights of man, we say that those rights aregrossly outraged by the Magistrates in committinga man for two months to the horrors of Northleach for beating his wife. His offence is great, but the punishment is a still greater offence. In this Northleach House of Correction, the horrors of w hich have been so recently brought be fore the public, we find from the Seventh Report of the Inspector of Prisons, Southern and Western District, that out of 51 prisoners confined at the date of the Inspector's visit, July 22, 1841, forty were cases of summary conviction. In the whole year, endinz Michaelmas, 1841, the num ber of summary convictions to this one House of Correction was no less than 364, or 30 per month. Surely they are not the friends—cer tainly they are not the protectors of the lower classes, who consign them so mercilessly, and in such numbers, to hard labour and to pine in damp cells in unwholesome prisons. We are not much astonished at the number of summary convictions with 'which this Report makes us acquainted, but it is worthy of being noticed. In the Somerset House of Correction at Taunton, out of 760 prisoners in 1840, the number confined under summary convictions was no less than 366; and out qf 598 in 1841, no less than 279. By another table in the same Report we find that of the summary convictions in 1841, 19 were for offences under the Game laws, 104 for offences against the Vagrant Act, 49 for offences against the Malicious Trespass Act, 61 under the Larceny Act, and 32 for assaults. All these offences, except the last, are offences against property, and particularly that species of property of which the Magistrates are the possessors, and which the poor want. They are in fact, therefore, judges in their own cause, for their cause is the cause of the rich against the poor—their cause is the cause of the owners of property against those who have none—their cause is the cause of game against poachers, of property against trespassers —and it is on the face of it a piece of scandalous injustice, that throne class of propertied men should be intrusted with the power of summary conviction to such an enormous extent. { Again, in Shepton Mallet prison no less than 567 persons were confined in the course. of the year under summary convictions. They were employed either at the treadmill, at. breaking stones, or at pumping water, and were subjected during their confinement to all the rigour of the prison. Of them 37 were confined for offences under the Game-laws, and 206 for offences under the Vagrant Act. In Usk House of Correction, Monmouthshire, thenumberofpersonssummarily sent to prison in the course of the year was 240; in Cardiff (Glamorgan) 118 ; in Cardigan House of Correction 28; in Northampton Comity Gaol 455, of whom the offenders against the Game laws were 74; in Devizes (Wiltshire) 632, of whom the offenders against the Game-laws were 71; in the Oxford County Gaol 464; making in nine prisons 3,147 persons shut up in one year by the summary convictions of the Magistrates. Such a power is too great for any men to possess, and fits too great for the landowners of England, who are avowedly, by their own acts, at issue with the people. We regret to know that the power of sum marily committing to prison has been extended, as the same committing Magistrates have rendered the rigour of prisons far greater than the law makers of a former period contemplated. Under the pretext of shortening the term of imprison ment to which teen were liable, wheni waiting fir the sessions or the assize, and under the pre text of checking juvenile delinquency, the Ma ;•istrates have gone on, year after year, persuad ing the Parliament to place more and more of fences under their power of summary conviction. Punishments have, we believe, increased amaz ingly in consequence, and crimes have increased in about the same proportion. The manner in which summary punishments have increased, while crimes have increased, and prison disci pline has become more rigorous, till it is in some cases horrible, deserves the serious consideration of the Legislature. The Devonport Independent of Saturday says —with reference to the recent election of Mayor of that borough—" As was anticipated, the Tories have paced their own man in the civic chair. The results of the municipal elections dispelled all doubts on that head. Wednesday last, an important era to the Conservatives of this bo rough, beheld them in the ascendant. The new Mayor, after expressing conciliatory intentions towards his opponents, almost in the samebreath showered on them vituperations of no very digni fied kind," The "results of the municipal elections" alluded to in the above passage, have been, we regret to state, most disheartening to the Liberal cause in Devonport. Of twelve returned, not less than eleven were Tories! This new born penchant for Toryism reflects great dis credit on the inhabitants of the borough. Many of them who have hitherto called themselves Liberals, must necessarily have falsified all their past professions, and ratted to the enemy, or such a triumph could never have been achieved. As for supposing that these people were induced to change their opinions out of a strong and sudden moral conviction of the surpassing excel lence of the present Administration, such an hypothesis is not to be entertained for an instant. What decided, salutary measures has Sir R. PEEL brought forward, that were likely to flash conviction on the mind of an ardent Re ? His Tariff is certainly a move in the right direction, bat it is a move so timid, halting, and partial, that no really sincere Liberal can possibly lay his hand on his heart, ;aid say that lie is satisfied with it. But, perhaps, it is that delectable impost, the Income-tax, that has wrought such a magic change in the political sentiments or the good folks of Devonport. This can scarcely be the case, for the impost in ques- on will put all those who may happen to be in •ade there, to a world of annoyance, and likely enough, conduce to the ruin of not a few of them. The plain truth is, that the triumph of Toryism in Devonport is not the triumph of enlightened conviction over pre judice, but of self-interea over principle. The present Government is supposed to be a strong The Royal Tar steam-packet arrived at Fal mouth from Gibraltar on Saturday, bringing in telligence from the latter place to the 3d instant, from Cadiz to tie 4th, and Lisbon to the 9th. Sir ROBERT 'WILSON arrived at Gibraltar on the 30th ult., and was sworn into office on the follow ing day. The news from Lisbon is not important. The decree relative to the Treasury debentures has at last been published in the official journal. The debentures are to be for various sums, from 2,500 to 50,000 reis each, and to bear interest at the rate of about 7 per cent. per annum. The bank not having chosen to discount them, they are to be issued in payment to the public employes for two-thirds of their current salaries and the ar rears due on that account, the other third to be paid in cash. An anonymous proclamation addressed to the Portuguese nation had been published in some of the Lisbon papers, and excited considerable inte rest. This document is directed against M. DIETZ, a highly -respectable German, who ac companied the KING as Private Secretary, and it would appear has excited the jealousy of some persons about Court. Public opinion points out COSTA CABRAL as the author of this absurd ad dress, which cautions the people against the ma chinations of the " infittnous" DIETZ, and adds that he was endeavouring to persuade the QUEEN to leave the country, and had so far prevailed upon her that the best of her jewels and a large sum of money was embarked on board a vessel to be shipped to England. The story is totally des titute of truth. The Madrid Gazette of the fith contains some severe comments on the declaration published by the twelve journals. It denies that the Go vernment has any hostile intentions against the Press, and it relies on public opinion to defend the laws and defeat the machinations of a con spiracy, having for its object the renewal of the civil war and the establishment of anarchy. Rumours of a change of Ministry were current in Madrid. It is said, however, that the REGENT will neither modify the ItODIL Cabinet nor dis solve the Cortes before the opening of the ses sion; but it was believe,{ that the Parliamentary coalition would have the majority, and thus over turn the Administration. It appears from the Paris papers that the question relating to the right of search has at last been settled, and that the treaty of 1841 will not be ratified by France. What else could M. GUIZOT do, after a great majority of the Cham bers had voted against the treaty, and the general voice of the country was opposed to it? The following article on the subject is taken from the Presse:— "From information which has reached us, and which we look on as authentic, the Powers have at last come to the determination to definitively put an end to the protocol, which was opened for the ratifi cation of the treaty of December 20. We hasten to give publicity to this intelligence. It is a primary compliance with the wishes of the Chambers—it is a triumph—the whole honour of which appertains to them. But all their wishes are riot vet satisfied. .In the memorable sitting of January 24, the Chamber of Deputies, the sever e an d f a i t h ful,guardian of the honour Of the country, demanded two things from the Ministry—first, not to ratify the treaty of De cember 20, and next to prepare and conclude mea sure 3 as speedily as possible fur annulling the previous treaties. The cancelling of the protocol only fulfils the first part of this task ; the second remains as it stood. It cannot be doubted that the Chambers will persist in their first resolution. If the annulling of the treaties of 1831 and 1833 appeared to them de sirable and possible ten months back, to annul them will still appear necessary and easy, when England, by her oxn line of conduct, has changed the face of, the question." A meeting of about 80 of the manufacturers and merchants of Paris was held on Wednesday, and agreed upon a petition against the Customs' Union with Belgium, which is to be presented to the President of Commerce. M. LEROY, one of the Judges of the Tribunal of Commerce, took the chair. A Frankfort journal mentions a report that accounts have been received from the United States of the intention of putting an end to the privileges which the vessels of the Hanse'atie towns have hitherto enjoyed in the American ports. The report, however, does not appear to rest on a good foundation. The Frankfurter Journal contains a letter from Breslau, which says We have just re ceived from Berlin the important intelligence that the Committee of the States have been consulted on the question, whether a Constitu tion of the States of the kingdom was necessary for Prussia, and that a negative reply had been given by 57 votes to 47."—The accounts from Berlin make no allusion to this circumstance.

SOUTHAMPTON DOCKS.—There is now some pro spect of a speedy completion of these docks, Govern ment having advanced the Company 25,0001., and further assisted them with a large quantity of mate rials. It is anticipated that, by the first week in January, the tidal dock will be opened, and the whole length of sheds for landing and shipping goods be will erected. one, and there are always to be found in every borough lots of people who are Ministerial or otherwise, just according to their chances of picking up some little bit of local, or other pre ferment. The very men who have just now turned Tories in Devonport, because Toryism is snugly quartered in Downing-street, would turn Whigs to-morrow, were the Whig star once again to be seen flaming in the ascendant. In an article on the subject of the new Law Appointments in Bankruptcy, the Times of Friday observes :—" There is one person, cer tainly, whom the profession in general regret not to have seen included in the list of promo tions—we mean, Mr. DEACON, whose claims rest on the authorship of a work on the Bankrupt Law, beyond all comparison the best in exist ence, and referred to on all occasions by the Bench and the Bar. We trust he has been only postponed, not overlooked." We cordially echo these opinions of our Contemporary, for we have long beard Mr. DEACON spoken of as a sound, ready lawyer ; of much quiet, steady chamber practice; and of long experience in his profession ; and we are willing to believe, with the Times, that his claims to legal preferment have been " only postponed, not overlooked." Opposed though we arc in politics to Mr. DEACON, we have considered it an act of justice to say thus much in his behalf; and we may add, too, that we have every reason to believe that his promotion would be generally popular with the Profession, to many of the most eminent mem bers of which he has been for years penonally known, and respected by them not less fur his legal talents than his unassuming private worth. We have received Brussels papers of Satur day. On the previous day the KING held a Council of Ministry, and afterwards received a deputation of the Senate, with the Address in answer to the Royal speech. The budget for the year had just been issued, from which it appears that the receipts for the last year were 112,816,742 francs (4,400,0001.), and the expen diture 110,486,091 francs. In the department of Foreign Affairs there had 'been a diminution of 5,000 francs, as compared with the expenditure of the previous year. The public debt is in creased by 3,494,212 francs, and there is also some increase in the estimates for the army, and the department of Justice, but to a small amount.
