NOVEMBER 2, 1842, Dr. BOWRING mentioned, as a report, at the late Anti-Corn-law meeting at Manchester, that Sir R. PEEL would be deserted by at least forty of his followers in the House of Commons on the meeting of Parliament. That he is growing unpopular amongst his own friends is certain. He has been extremely unfortunate, and the good harvest, which is such a blessing to the nation, combined with the want of employment, has proved fatal to his system. In conjunction with scanty crops, his measures might have stood for a season or two; in conjunction with the reduction of prices, caused by an abundant crop, and the want of means to purchase, they appear to have inflicted a terrible injury on the landed interest. We are well aware that this appearance is not reality. Not his measures feebly approximating to justice, but the old cupidity and extertion of the agriculturists, are the sources of their suf fering. But they are accustomed to look to the law for every good, and they blame it for every evil ; they have been taught by Sir R. PEEL to rely on it, and now they accuse his measures — he being properly punished by the effects of the error he has nourished—of having caused those reductions of price which are the natural con sequences of an abundant harvest when there is no enterprise in the manufacturing districts. As the Whigs may rejoice that they did not succeed with their project of a fixed duty, by which the who/e- of the evils now suffered by the agricul ,tur4tS, would have been charged on them, so Itoeiur PEEL'S success in lowering the scale, and, in passing the Tariff, seems Ukely to separate,laim from his party. • We have seen several bitter lamentations at PI! blie" meetings over the depreciation in the value ofagricultural property, which is ascribed to Sir ROBERTPEEL ; and we will quote some evidence of the manner he is spoken of from the Galway Standard, a journal published in the west of Ireland:— , " As Constitutional Journalists it is very painful to our feelings to find fault with any act of the Govern ment. Most cheerfully do weper p each submission to w the laws—most gladly would Robertrn Peel for the Tariff and the Corn-laws, s s could againstwe do it conscientiously. Alas ! the evidence is us, the country is bankrupt, the awful conse quences of his legislation for Ireland are before us. On Tuesday last a coa ch-and-f our could, with the . greatest facility, pass through any part of the market of Mountbellew, where formerly it would be difficult, and not without a good deal of jostling, for a man to Pass ; the quantity of grain was small and sold slowly at 60 per cent. under last year, meat proportionately, the shops comparatively empty, the peasantry sober, but loudly murmuring against the Corn-laws. Ex =lee has taught us that the Tariff and Corn-laws owered the prices of corn and cattle full fifty P er c ent this year. We are perfectly well convinced the landlords of Ireland are sacrificed. One half their income must ultimately go • lands are deteriorated fully one half in value by the ' Tariff and C laws and whether the tenants to 1); exacted from them this pay the rents attempted. do with the question year or not , . has very to Party in England constituted on the princ.i thisbedetibierm determined ultimately. .of gain; it is impossible , therefore that Sir (I 5 . l.'s friends can remain true to him under 'grew , unary losses. The same facts, too, which 3fijure him with th e agriculturists, ' • - strengthen the cause of the manufacturers and freetraurs. It must, therefore, already, we are sure, be a question of painful interest to himself and his friends whether he will be able to carry on his Government on the same or similar prin ciples as last session. • If he loses the support of the agriculturists, he must rely on other classes , or resign. Personal and political feelings, we believe, will make him reject a union with the Whigs, or the adoption of the nostrum of a fixed duty on corn. Indeed he cannot adopt their policy without acknowledging his inferiority to them, and without confessing that he has igno rantly or wilfully exposed the country to a long period of misery. We disbelieve the report, therefore, that he has made up his mind to re commend to Parliament a fixed duty on corn. On a former occasion, not to tread in the foot steps of the Whigs, he boldly went beyond them. ,We therefore are inclined to hope that he will again surpass them, and carry out to the full the principles which he professes and they have taught. If he again touch the Corn and Provi sion-laws, and we believe he must touch them, let us hope that it will be totally to abolish them. He is well aware that the Legislature must not con tinually tamper with the food of the people; that the laws which regulate its supply must be steady and invariable, and no otller laws can be so but those eternal laws which grow from the necessi- ties of mankind. Sir ROBERT PEEL has already weakened public confidence in the stability of legislation; and further alterations in the laws, e xcept to place trade in a state of freedom, will only generate con tinual confusion. The question can only be set at rest by setting trade free. Till that be accom- , plished, agitation, and all its train of evils, aris ing from uncertainty, will never cease. We are inclined, therefore, to believe and to hope that Sir R. PEEL, instead of tinkering the laws, or adopting the Whig nostrum, will become a per fect free-trader, and propose, whenever he again meddles with the Corn-laws, totally to abolish them. The time for that work must speedily be favourable. The price of wheat is already below J 505., and it will soon be down as low in England us it could be with free trade ; though not so low as it will be should another favourable har vest occur, unaccompanied with the revival of commerce. The trade of the country, is threat ened too on all sides, and the example of abo lishing our Corn-laws, which would give life to our own commerce, would speedily compel other nations to relax their injurious prohibitions. It becomes England to set such an example. We are more interested in free trade than other na tions. As the rule they only restrict some com paratively petty branches of manufacture, while England sets the terrible example of restricting the supply of food. Whether the manufacture of velvets or silks flourish or not is of compara tively little importance; but whether the people be amply fed or not involves all the difference, moral and physical, between a flourishing and a decaying community. Other Governments may prevent their subjects enjoying some luxuries, our Government prevents the people buying food. While England has a far greater interest than other nations in free trade, she commits against it an infinitely greater offence than any other country. Her Government stops the sup ply of that, to obtain which is the great object of all human exertions, and the basis of all pros perity. We see by an advertisement in another part of The Sun, that the annual festival to com memorate the acquittal of HARDY, HonxE TOOKE, and THELWALL, and do honour to the Trial by Jury, takes place on Saturday next. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE is to be in the Chair, and it is expected that a numerous party will assemble. We have now too few festivities amongst us intended to keep alive the vene ration of our best rights. There are meetings enough, they crowd upon us every day, to unite landlords and tenants in the preservation of their monopoly ; but there are few or no meetings to promote political freedom, and keep alive the memory of victories over political oppression. More than ever is it now requisite to unite the different classes in support of a comm3n enjoy ment and a common privilege. The great barrier against the encroachments of organised power is the Trial by Jury. We are not unaware that under some circumstances, when a community is rent into factions, and one party only has access to the jury box, that it may serve as an instrument of oppression ; but these are rare occurrences, and enlightened jurors, such as now have to adjudicate over the lives and liberties of their fellows, will effectually guard against the influence of class prejudices. With all its imperfections, the Trial by Jury is one of the best methods yet discovered of insur ing every man a fair trial and a fair judgment by the public, which is, in fact, the only and the surest guarantee of individual rights. We trust, therefore, that the festivity of Saturday, to uphold this palladium of British liberty— and we believe, too, the palladium of liberty across the Atlantic—will be honoured by a large assemblage of men of different ranks and condi tions. We learn with regret that the schism betwixt the free-traders and the Chartists, or the Re formers of the middle and working classes, is not diminished. Indeed, if what occurred at Birmingham on Friday may be taken as an index to the state of feeling amongst the Char tists, which we are afraid it may, that schism seems to have increased. To all previous causes of discontent the Chartists at Birmingham now add the accusation that the very persons who re fused to allow them to meet two months ago to promote Chartist views at present call on them to assemble and agitate for the repeal of the Corn-laws. They reproach the Corn-law re pealers with having, as members of the middle class, contributed to remove from amongst them the Chartist leaders, and with having the audacity," supposing the Chartists to be hum bled, to call on them to aid the repealers. It appears from this, as might have been expected, that' the late turn-out, which forced the two classes into collision, has much exasperated the hostile feelings which previously existed between them. At the meeting called at Birmingham on Fri day by the Anti-Corn-law Association of that town, to receive a deputation of the Anti-Corn law League, the Chartists forestalled possession of the hall, appointed their own Chairman, scarcely deigned to hear Mr. BRIGHT, and did not hear Mr. PAULTON, who attended from the League, and passed triumphantly their own resolution. They declared, indeed, that the Corn-law, and every other law which presses on the industry of the people, ought to be abolished; but they exhibited a complete hostile disposition to the League, and required that the Charter should become the law of the land. That they are moved by Tory emissaries, we will not assert; but if the Chartists meant to sustain the Tory cause—which is the cause of oppression and coercion—which is enabled by the dissensions of its opponents to preserve its mischievous mono polies—they could adopt no better method than thus to interfere with meetings called for other objects than to promote the success of the Charter, and thus to exhibit a determination to thwart the middle classes in the attainment of an end which they admit will be beneficial to them selves. I f they do not choose to support the League let them abstain from supporting it, but let them not continue to interrupt its proceedings, and in crease the ill•will which has already been engen dered by the O'CoNNoR policy, of perverting all public meetings to their own purposes. At present the League is fiercely and daily assailed by the monopolists, and those who op pose it will scarcely escape the suspicion of being willing to aid the monopolists, who have always relied on spies and hired tools to attain their ends, in their endeavours to put down the League. Such a suspicion will be strengthened by the fact that the arguments of the real or pretended Chartists are drawn from Tory sources. A Mr. SAUNDERS, at Birmingham, for example, used an argument which had appeared a day or two before in the Morning Post, and which has in it a fallacy, and an inaccuracy, which an inhabitant of machine-making Bir mingham must instantly detect. In 1797 23,000,0001b5. of cotton were manufactured in this country, and then the rate of wages, it is said, in the cotton trade was 265. Sd. per week; in 1840 up wards of 460,000,0001b5. were manufactured, and the rate of wages is said to be only 4s. 6d. per week. But these amounts apply only to the wages of actually working up the cotton, and all the wages paid for making the machinery by which the cotton is worked up, and by which the country has been enabled to augment the manufacture twenty-fold, giving a good living to thousands of intelligent and skilful artisans, who have thriven and even made fortunes by trades which our forefathers never dreamed of, are 'put aside and wholly forgotten. When an artisan uses such an erroneous one-sided Tory argument, so unjust and injurious to his own pursuits, he must give us leave to say, that he subjects him self grievously to the suspicion of willingly serv ing the Tory cause, and willingly exerting him self to perpetuate the landlords' monopoly. In-truth, the Cllartists themselves are aware that this monopoly is the great cause of the re duction of wages which we all deplore, and it is both impolitic and exasperating for the Chartists to thwart the middle classes in their righteous endeavours to get rid of this monopoly. Let us all aid, in the first instance, to abolish the landlords' monopoly as the must mischievous, and let us then see what is the next gigantic abuse against which we can level the greatest power of public opinion, and so gradually extirpate all the politi cal abuses which, under the pretence of promot ing the happiness of society, render all classes alike, in their dealings with each other, vicious and miserable. In Mr. DICKENS' " Notes on America," he mentions, that during an election dispute at Toronto, one person was deliberately fired at out of a window. We are reminded of that circum stance by the last arrival from the Western Con tinent, which brings some intelligence of a serious election riot at Hastings, in Upper Canada, at which as much, or indeed far more, violence was displayed than ever occurs at elections in the U i lited States. Such occurrences in Canada may be quoted as a match for many of the violent acts with which the inhabitants of the United States are reproached. We notice them together, not to excuse either party, but to remind our readers of the peculiar circumstances on which much of the violence of men's dispositions de pends. Had Mr. DICKENS been acquainted with it, he would have abstained, we think, from making several implied censures. When a man lives nearly alone, he has many enemies. He must be on his guard against other men, and against wild beasts. His prin cipal pursuit is war; his food is obtained by a kind of war; he seldom lays aside the rude arms he has learnt to manufacture ; and his passions are ferocious. He is a savage, from the circum stances of his condition. Throughout the whole extent of the great inland frontier of the United States, men of European descent live in a compara tively isolated and semi-savage state. Many of them consort with the Indians and adopt their manners; others live in hostility - with them; and thus are the bOrderers, by being placed in circumstances somewhat similar to those of the Indians, trained into their violent and savage dispositions. Be twixt this extreme border and the civilized towns of Boston and New York, there must be tints, as it were, or successive waves of these savage dispositions, affecting the whole population, but being deeper at the border than in these foci of European-American civilization. A semi-savage ness is the natural and necessary consequence of their circumstances—scattered, bordering on the wLiderness, and exposed to danger and hostility. T o j oz •titute a comparison between them and the peopld of Europe, exposed now to no such circutnstances, is not less unjust in principle, though it is in desree, than to institute a com parison between ci-vihi:'ed Europeans and Indians. As well might the vices of the Savage be as cribed to the institutions grow from his condition, as the vices of the AO. ericans be as cribed to the republican form of Go'v erameut under which they live. But this is contra 11y ndone,tendatnatural 1701 savageness, circumstancesEuropeanvage n ess o w m iii mn t eirttsi injustice overlookingtcioc condition dbiotitoinl which tt institutions - and ' tl:e inhabitants of the United 1 States. The great physical element and mean; of civilization is the increase of people in relation to space. That continually begets a necessity for new arts and new inventions. That continu ally increases the dependence of each individual on society. That continually lessens or annihi lates the sense of self-importance and arrogance, and continually tends to make man peace-loving and humble-minded. The increase of the species in relation to space is the parent of both moral and physical improvement. The decrease of the species in relation to space is so obviously the source of hardships and relapse into barbarism, that our new colonies in the southern world have been founded on the principle of concentration, in order to avoid that palpable danger. These are obvious and well-known facts. They explain the semi-barbarism ofa large portion of the Cana dians and the inhabitants of the United States, and to some extent justify those rude features in their character, which some travellers, ignorant of what they ought to know, notice only to con demn. We copied a paragraph from a Morning Paper on Saturday as a curiosity from its absurdity, not suspecting for a moment that it would obtain the slightest credit. It stated that a rumour pre vailed in legal circles that Lord LYNDHURST was about to retire from the Woolsack, and that lie would be succeeded by Lord ABINGER, who has obtained such unenviable fame by his judicial addresses and speeches at the Special Commis sions. Such an idea probably never entered the head of any human being except that of the writer, for of all the Judges of Westminster Hall, nay, of all the Courts down to the Insol vent Debtors' Court, it wou►d be difficult to find one legal functionary so unfitted for the office of Lord Chancellor. He is very advanced in years, he has had little practice as an equity barrister or Judge, and certainly has not raised himself in the estimation of the public or " legal circles" since he took his seat on the Bench. Is it likely, then, that Sir R. PBEL would have recourse to a manoeuvre in order to get the Chief Baron out of his present situation to provide for Sir F. POLLOCK, and that the business in Chancery, which is already so much in arrears, is to stand still for months, merely because an old man will not resign without a premium ? We have heard of a Judge being tempted from the judgment -seat by the offer of a title, and of others being bought off in a variety of ways, but no job like this has ever been practised in modern times, and we there fore regard the report as entirely destitute of foundation. Accounts from Madrid of the 23d ult. state that the Cortes will be opened on the 14th inst. without a speech. The QUEEN had subscribed a considerable sum for the relief of the sufferers by the great hurricane at Ceuta. The official Gazette of the same date contains a decree authorising the import of all timber for naval purposes, by ships of all nations, under the conditions specified in the tariff. Dort RAMON MARIA CALATRAVA had been re elected Senator for Segovia. The Paris papers have arrived, but their con tents possess little interest. The Journal des Debuts in an article on the Administration of M. GUIZOT, points out the difficulties that Minis. tern had to contend with since 1840, and the great measures he has, in spite of these difficulties, carried through the Chambers, among others the Bill for fortifying Paris. We are much deceived if the inhabitants view this expensive undertaking with the same complacency. "It is now," says that journal, " two years since the present Ministry accepted office under very critical circumstances, and no Ministry since the Revolution of 1830 has had so long an existence .without either any modification or any internal dissension. They had much to do; first, to reconstitute a majority in the Chamber, next to restore confidence to the friends of order in the country—and abroad they had to institute lit • • 4.)0 viiv k - jpo -4K) Ztt ,§aut. THE StiN., LONDON, WEDNESDAY MORNIN G, NOVEMBER 2, 1842 a - .course of .policy if not of alliance, at least, of peace and reciprocal good feeling. Never had any Administration to contend with an Opposition more formidable from its num bers—from the exasperation that pervaded it— by its talent; but, notwithstanding the prognos tications of its speedy overthrow, it is still in ex istence, after having passed through two serious crises—that of the elections, and that of the death of the Prince Royal. It has attached its name to two great laws--- 7 that of the fortifications of Paris, and that of the Regency. It has obtained from the Chambers the vote so long deferred for the construction of railroads. And, after having re-established our relations with Europe on an honourable footing, it has produced at home a degree of tranquillity and security un known for the last twelve years. Amongst the causes which have sustained the Cabinet against so many enemies, the first to be mentioned is the perfect accord which has never ceased to exist amongst its members. It is the only Min istry which has existed two years without hav ing experienced the slightest internal disagree ment or change in its composition. The charit able efforts of the Opposition to destroy this unanimity . have completely failed. It was, therefore, in -the Chambers, before the public, that the adversaries of the Cabinet have been compelled to make' their attack, and the conse quence has been that the Ministry has consider ably gained in public estimation. Their enemies, by the desperation of their repeated attacks, have elevated the Ministers, in a word, above themselves. They have been forced to a display of courage, talent, and argument, which ex ceeded even the expectation of their friends. There are persons who detest the present Minis ters, but there is not one who will not acknow ledge that they have shown extraordinary talent. We have seen Ministers in themselves extremely talented, and still they have been worn out by the length of their existence, but the present Ministers are, even by the admission of their antagonists, stronger than they were two years since. ,, The Presse has a long article relative to the decision of the Belgian Government to retaliate on the United States for the additional charges levied on the British Queen steam-ship in the port of New York, and praises the act for rather a selfish reason. The result of the quarrel, it anticipates, will be, that French bottoms must become the carriers between Belgium and the United States. Writers in French newspapers generally display very erroneous views when they touch on affairs of trade and commerce. Is it likely that Belgium will injure her mercantile navy, small as it is, by breaking off intercourse with a good customer from a petty spirit of re venge ? The following article in the Siecle, we regret .to say, contains much truth respecting the inefficacy of treaties for suppressing the slave trade. We are not aware, however, that any English journal has asserted that England would support her pretensions for the fulfilment of the treaties of 1831 and 1833 by declaring war. That would indeed be a strange way of showing her humanity. " The liberty of the seas, the absolute independence of flags, is the principle and the right of nations. The power of reciprocal search, which has been conceded by certain powers for a determinate object, is an ex ception to this right and this principle ; and this ex ception has been established on the formal declaration that no other means existed for abolishing the horrid traffic in slaves. Now, however, when fresh declara tions of the British Government, and a treaty recently concluded with America, have established that that traffic can be attacked without this reciprocal right of search, on what right, on what authority can she refuse the revision of the treaties of 1831 and 1833 ? The English journals have declared that those treaties cannot be annulled without an act of bad faith on the part of France, and that England a n w d e N h vo a u ve ld as ev s e e n de s d u , pp a o n r d t ragramiseatttehre sympathies fora con her pretensions by w ar ; b we can prove that Eng land could not declare war for t a in subject, ewalhiticiehu,,fawr would d m fo t rm he i r n of Europe in favour of France. Let us not then be deterred by &vain menace. " This right of search has, been declared powerless in suppressing the trade, which will last as long as there are markets for them in the Spanish colonies or ;n Brazil. If one flag be exempt from this right of ' - ' l l'. it is under tha t fla g that the trade will be pro scare. , . ',a the fact that there is one flag (the Ame seented, "-- - .- -renders the right of search for others rican) exempt - .. as nugatory. 54 BOURSE--PaaFits; URDAY, OCTOBER 29.

He calls the Peers who sat on the Auchterarder appeal case " lordlings," and, like the wild men of the North, trots their deci sion with contempt. One of these "lordlings," he ought to know, is seventy years of age, all of them are above sixty, and whether we regard their talents, their profound knowledge of law and equity, or their general character as upright Judges, we may safely state that it would be impossible to find among the whole legal profession four other men whose opinions on such a subject are entitled to equal weight. They unanimously decided one case, which settled some twenty cases of the same kind, and their decision was, that the appellants had committed illegal acts. Is this Deacon of a Church so ignorant that he must apply to us for information, and ask what Act of Parliament forbids any body politic or ecclesiastical from ejecting, contrary to the law laid down by the highest authorities both in Scotland and England, venerable pastors from their holy offices, robbing them of their property, and ruining them and their families ? He might as well ask what Act of Par liament forbids a man " to covet his neighbour's wife, or his ox, or his ass." The Non-Intrusionists coveted the manses and the glebes and the stipends of their neighbours, and they made a law of their own to carry their purposes into effect ; but that law is not the law of the land, and that the aggressors now know to their cost. A Cabinet Council, the first this season, was held at three o'clock this afternoon, at the Foreign-office, Downing-street. It was attended by most of the Cabinet Ministers, the principal Members of the Ca binet, including Sir R. Peel, the Duke of Wellington, the Lord Chancellor, Lord Wharnchffe, Sir J. Gra ham, Lord Stanley, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer. VISCOUNT MELBOURNE. —Although his Lordship has, in some measure, recovered from his late indispo sition, that indisposition had been much more serious than the public had reason to suppose. We regret to say that his Lordship's illness arose from an attack of paralysis in the side that also affected his speech ; but from which, as we have already stated, his Lordship has partially recovered. MR. SERGEANT SPANKIE.—We regret to state that Mr. Sergeant Spankie is suffering under so dangerous an illness that it causes the greatest apprehensions to his family and friends. TICK BRITISH QUEEN. —Apprehension has been very generally expressed respecting the safety of the British Queen (Belgian steam- packet), now some days overdue. The British Queen left New York on the 7th ult., for Southampton and Antwerp, and al though the Royal mail steamer Columbia from Boston and Halifax, just arrived at Liverpool, sailed as much as nine days later in the month, viz., on the 16th ult. from Boston, nothing has yet been heard of the former vessel. She had on board, as passengers, Messrs. L. Goldschmidt, Merian, and Richards, of New York ; Messrs. Woodhouse Stevens, David H. Mount, and Stroebel, of Philadelphia; Messrs. Thomas Morgan, James Crassons, and William Crossley, of England ; 11. Keenan, of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania; and Mr. G. Ettlinger, of Germany. REVENUE OF THE 'UNITED STATES AND OF NEW YoaK.—Tat - gioss revenue for the United States for the first slit months of 1841 was, according to official statements, 7,005,020 dols. ; for the same period 1843 8,733,834 dols. being an increas e of 1,728,814. The whole revenue fo' r the year 1841 is stated at 10,146,635; and the revenue for the Port of New York alone, for the first three quarters of 1842, is stated at 9,911,387 dols., which w ould show a great increase.—American Paper. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Public 14:- 4.3intott. Who runs may read:' rOItEIGN. M. Laugier, a young astronomer attached to the observatory of Paris, discovered about seven o'clock in the evening of the 28th ult. the existence in the constellation Dragon of a comet, extremely weak, and without the appearance of a tail. At about ten mi nutes past ten o'clock, Paris time, the right ascension of this star was 16 hours 41 minutes, and the boreal declension 68 degrees 44 minutes. The right ascen sion increased in six hours by 3 minutes 33 seconds time, and the declension diminished 20 minutes in the same interval. Letters from Belgrade of the 17th state that all doubt on the result of the late revolution in Servia had ceased, the Sultan having issued his Hatti Scheriff confirming Prince Alexander Georgewitsch as Oberk nes, or Governor of Servia. A letter from Berlin confirms the report that the Russians had ceased to act on the offensive in the Caucasus. The pretended plan of surrounding the Circassians in their valleys was said to be a mere boast, by which the Russians were endeavouring to I mask their retreat. _ _ _ The Augsburg Gazette of the 26th ult. announces that the Russian Government, considering the Con vention made with Prussia for the surrender of deserters to be no longer in force, has given orders to the'authorities not to receive any deserters or re cruits surrendered by the Prussian Government. Prince Galitzin, Captain of the Guards to the Em peror of Russia, died at Paris on Saturday in his fiftieth year. The railway from Berlin to Frankfort-on-the-Oder was opened to the public on the 23d inst. No less than eight of the most celebrated composers of Paris arc competitors for the vacancy in the aca demy of fine arts, occasioned by the death of Cherubini. It is stated that the Ipsariots have abandoned Greece. A hundred families of these brave islanders have embarked at Syra, and intend to settle at Ip sara, thus making themselves Moslem subjects instead of continuing under the rule of King Otho. After an animated debate of five hours, the Com- mittees of the Prussian Estates have declared that they consider it to be advisable that a great system of iron railways should be undertaken by the State as soon as possible. The several railways proposed to their direction, and the manner in which the State shall take part in them, will be the subject of future discussion. P 17111.40 OPINION. We quote the following from the Times:—" Wre should be glad to be informed of the precise terms on which the British American Association undertakes to remunerate the volunteer agents who conduct on its behalf the department of speculative emigrant hunting. A fresh advertisement,' through the me dium of the Lord Mayor's Court, has, notwithstand ing the publicity attained by the last announcement of the sort, been put forth by the Society on Saturday last, the most striking feature of which appears to be, that the aforesaid British American Association for Colonization and Emigration' pays nobody—nobody whomsoever. Agent, emigrant, seaman, tradesman, all stand in the same predicament; however they may differ in their claims, their services, or their expecta tions, they are all alike unpaid. Complaints were made both on the first occasion on which this Com pany figured before the public, and also on Saturday, by tradesmen who had furnished the Company with goods, and by seamen engaged in its behalf, that sums of money, to the applicants considerable, were due to them from the Association, and that they were unable to procure payment." The Herald, alluding to the trial of Alice Lowe yesterday at the Central Criminal Court, says— " This trial originated in a charge of felony brought by the Right Hon. Lodge Reymond de Montmorency-, Viscount Frankfort de Montmorency, Baron Frank fort of Galmoye, in the county of Kilkenny, &c., against one Alice Lowe, a girl of nineteen years of age described in the calendar as a spinster,' but in reality a recent paramour of the Noble' Lord. It was a trial which (in conjunction with some recorded and other understood facts that have recently trans pired) will not greatly tend to exalt the character of the order' to which his Lordship belongs, and we rise from the perusal of the details as much astonished at the fatuity as disgusted with the immorality of the right honourable' prosecutor." The Chronicle says :—" A paragraph is going the round of the press, stating, as a rumour in legal circles, that Lord Lyndhurst will retire from the woolsack, and be succeeded by—of all men in the world—Lord Abinger. From the quarters in which this paragraph has appeared, it seems that there are Tories who would not be ashamed of such an arrangement. Still we cannot regard it as more than a feeler ; an ex periment upon what the public will bear. Or, to take a yet more charitable construction, it may be thrown out to elicit such an expression of opinion as will strengthen Sir Robert Peel in declining to make an appointment which would he of so little service to his Government. If so, we heartily wish the purpose may be answered. This is a case in which we would F ladly contribute to strengthen the hands of her Ma jesty's Ministers. Lord Lyndhurst's appointment was not altogether satisfactory, on moral grounds, to the more decorous portion of the Tory press. But the splendid talents of the Noble Lord, and his services to the party in the House of Lords, enforced some sort of acquiescence. Lord Abinger has not a like redeeming power and service to be pleaded on his behalf." MONEY-TUADX-COMMERCZ. A meeting of the Delegates of the Metropolitan Anti-Corn-law Association was held On Monday at the!r rooms in the Strand, when the Registration Reports were received, which showed that at the dif ferent local Associations about 1,400 persons had re gistered ; and a Committee was formed to consider the best means for promoting future plans. ECCLESIASTICAL. The Wesleyan Missionary Society held a meeting on Monday in Aldersgate-street. It appeared that the Society was formed in 1786, and, next to the Mora vian, was the oldest in the country. The Bible had been already rendered into 22 languages, and the in come of the Society during the past year hal amounted to 101,0001. NAVAL AND MILITARY. General Sir C. W. Doyle, who died a few days since at Paris, acted in the Peninsula, in both a diplo matic and military capacity. He had several decora tions conferred upon him by the municipal authori ties of Spain, and wore a medal for his services in Egypt. The late Lieutenant-General Count Claparede, Peer of France, was born at Chignac, in 1774. He commanded Cape Town when the army of blacks re volted, was wounded at Pulstuck, and distinguished himself greatly at the battle of Wagram. LAW AND POLICE. _ The New Insolvent Debtors Act came into opera tion yesteday. The enactments, which amount to 15, are framed for the purpose of enabling debtors to be relieved from their difficulties without the necessity of previously going to prison. Captain Archibald Douglas, 49th Native Infantry, was on Monday brought up at Marlborough-street, attended by his friends and profQssional advisers, charged with being a deserter from the service of the Hon. East India Company. He was remanded till Friday next, to procure the attendance of the captain of the ship in which he sailed to England, and to supply other evidence. THEATIZICAL. A new farce, calreCliWiTjetizd I, was brought out at the Olympic Theatre on Monday. It was very successful with the audience, and was well supported by the acting of Mr. Wild. COURT-PASHTONABLE. Lord Stanley arrived in St. James's-square on Mon day from Knowsley Hall, Lancashire. Lord Wharnclitfe, President of the Council, arrived in Curzon-street on Monday from Belmont Castle. Sir Robert Peel arrived in Whitehall Gardens on Monday from Drayton Manor. The Chancellor of the Exchequer arrived in town on Monday from the Isle of Wight. Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston left town on Monday for Broadlands, Hants. Viscount Cantalupe has left England for the Medi terranean. Lord IVodehouse is entertaining a distinguished party at Kemberly, Norfolk. The Duke of Sussex and the Duchess of Inverness have arrived at Ilowick Hall, on a visit to Earl Grey. The Marquis and Marchioness of Waterford enter tained a brilliant party of fashionables at Curragh more during the Caher race meeting. The Countess of Leicester, with Lady Margaret Coke and the young Earl, intend to winter in Italy. Lord and Lady John Russell are expected to leave Endsleigh House on Saturday for Belgrave-square. Lord Plunket arrived at the Brunswick Hotel, Jer my-street, on Saturday last, from the Continent. ZYZISeELLANEOUS. The remains of the ancient town of Roxburgh, in the South of Scotland, have lately been exposed by the ploughshare, while driving over its ancient site ; the line of the streets and foundations of the public build ings are plainly discoverable. At the late festival at the collieries of the Marquis of Hastings in Leicestershire, Mr. Maulmat in pro posing his Lordship's health, stated that on the occa sion of the late disturbances, his Lordship being in London,-he was asked by the authorities whether any troops Should be sent to protect his property from the depredations of misguided and lawless men. His reply was :—" No, I do not need troops, I can depend upon my colliers. They will defend my property, if attacked ; and, should it be necessary to repel force by force, I shall feel perfectly secure in the midst of four or five hundred of my flannel jackets from Moira, against a host." MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, TUESDAY EVE:NI:NG. There was noth;ng done in the English funds re quiring notice, since the closing of the Stock Ex. change was made available by most of the jobbers of influence to leave town. Some parties interested in Mexican Bonds were in attendance, however, the mail being due. A mercantile firm, in reviewing the transactions of the past month, remarks that—" The business trans actions of the past month exceed, in the quantity of colonial and foreign produce, any similar period, in value between two and three millions sterling, and to chiefly supply immediate wants ; yet we hear of nothing but complaints amongst the merchants and traders, whilst we know that almost all the leading products yield good, and in many instances great, profits to the producers. We wish the colonists could say as much for the inanufacturers of this country ; but unhappily the reverse is the case. The accumulation of bullion in the Bank of England, and the consequent increase of the circulating medium, has failed to produce (as heretofore) any speculation in merchandise. Compe tition continues to interfere with profits, and will do so until labour is better paid and considered to form a part of the material." No news yet of the British Queen. (From The Sun of Last Night.) A good deal of anxiety is' expressed at the non arrival of the British Queen; and although we do not wish to add to the alarm felt upon the subject, we may observe that she is longer out than ever before known, even last Christmas. Up to this time nothing has been heard of the West India steamer, though, had she come right on to Southampton, we should, no doubt, have been in pus session of her letters ere this. The Dutch are not inclined, it seems, to be so tamely swindled as ourselves, and are manifesting this by their dispositions for obtaining redress from the Neapolitan Government. We are told that the dis closures in reference to the Tavogliere Bank, are worse than was expected, and that a deep laid scheme of fraud has been discovered, scarcely one of the originators of the concern being men of any substance or character. The foreign shareholders are consequently involved in the loss of all their capital, and as the Government was instru mental in the getting up of the concern, the Dutch hold it partly responsible, at least so report says. The duty upon brimstone exported from Sicily has been reduced by 2 taris per quintal, probably because the Government finds out that our manufacturers are too clever in the adoption of fresh resources, to allow themselves to be made a handle for monopolists to draw their gains with. The Russian fair of Nischnei Novgorod has `not gone off so well as usual this year, a great scarcity of money having prevailed, and credit being asked not only for present purchases, but also for liabilities con tracted on account of former dealings. Ready money was scarce with every one, but more especially with the merchants of kasan, who have suffered so much by the conflagration there ; but in every instance a laudable desire was evinced to meet outstanding engagements. Furs, iron, corn, &c., all sold much below their value ; and of tea the supply was large, and the price cheap. The report of the Liverpool 'Cotton-market states that the transactions yesterday were to a fair extent, I the quotations being steady. Sales 4,000 bales. In Railways also, a moderate business was done. Brigh tons were supported. Eastern Counties brought 81; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 46+ ; Great Western, Half, 61+ ; Liverpool and Manchester, 175 ; and Brighton, 36+. The Stock Markets are closed to-day, and among the jobbers prices are nominally much the same. Consols about 93k; Spanish, 17k. MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, OCT. 31.—We have had a quiet market to-day, and only a small amount of business has been transacted.

Having learned that in Campsie, about fifteen miles off, a certain price could be obtained—one penny a pound more than he expected in Balfron—the girl was ordered, if she did not obtain the higher price in the village, was, .4, to walk on to Camp s i e w ith h er 1,•- e . that the girl h a d t o t ru d ge t o Ca t ini,i , result and back, about thirty miles, to gain five pence for her money-making master.
