To. do this it is necessary to distinguisa between the effects of manufite, turing industry and the effects of our peculiar right of pr.iperty. It is also necessary to avoid confoundinz the manufacturing population with the loose and idle persons who are to be found in every large town, lint who are no more a fair specimen.of the whole than are the two or three smugglers, or poachers who may be found in L'lt't every village a fair specimen of the agri cultural population. On this bead such a warn ing fis sufficient. To discritninate between the effects, of property and the effects of manufac turing industry, we must extend our remarks. Ili this country property is already heaped up in great masses, and there are a great multitude of men who have to live on wages earned from day to daX,. lu no other country of Europe is there such . 11 mass of labourers, owning nothing but their labour, to be found, as in our islands. The hulk of the peasantry have no interest in the soil but that w hich they derive from p oor -rates, which` seems to be just enough to keep them quiet,tWh'atever degradation may be their lot, them au atom of property.

How can the farmers, whether 'they be his tenants or little landowners, or the tenants of little landowners, make any successful, resistance against such injustice? The majority of them know little or nothing of the intricacies of the law; they are puzzled when, ever they come into contact with it, and resign their will to whoever will undertake to lead them. The landlord.or the clergyman must take that office on him ; they generally work toge ' tber ; they are not unfrequently the same per son, or persons of the same family, or the cler gyman is dependent on the squire. Thus the farmers in such cases—and something similar may be found in the majority of the parishes in •England —are no better than the slaves of the squire and the parson. What Lord KASMES said of the Scotch farmers, as they existed a century ago, is now true of the English farmers Their condition was so low, that it was hope less to expect agricultural improvement from them till their condition was raised." The com munity might bear this infliction with much equanimity, if it were confined to the agricultural districts; but, to uphold that rural despotism, Corn-laws are maintained, and the whole nation suffers to a considerable extent from the slavery of the tenants-at-will and the depotism of the lords of the soil. which having died away, "The glorious company of Apostles" was delightfully sung by the principal per formers, among whom the fine and manly English voice of Phillips was heard to advantage, in all the boldness, freedom, and precisibn by which his style is characterised. Mr. Leffler, sang the solo " Thou art the King of Glory." Mr. Harper's accompanying obligato on the trumpet was good. Mr. Hobbs sang" When thou tookest upon thee" with his wonted mellowness and flexibility. The whole of the concluding. part of the Te Dem was well given, especially Mr. Phillip's " Vouchsafe, 0 Lord," and Mr. Francis's final solo, " 0 Lord, . in thee have I trusted." After the performance of Dr. Croft's anthem, " Sing unto .God,' followed by the. chorus, "Cry aloud and shout," one of the finest pieces of chord composition, 'the Lord 'Bishop of the diocese preached a sermon from Galatians, 6th chap., 10th verse, in behalf of the institution whose cause he advocated. During the sermon, he touched upon the state of the majority of the clergy who, his Lordship observed, had no chance of storing up provisions for their families ; it iYas theirs to do the work of charity, of almsgiving, and of local incidentals, in which the clergyman, whether rich or poor, was invariably expected to take the lead. In the Archdeaconry of Worcester, there were 80 benefices, whose annual incomes were not equal to 200/. per annum, and of these 32 were under 100/. ; he would ask, therefore, if it was not obvious that these salaries were but barely sufficient to procure common necessaries for a large family, and quite in competent to produce a provision tbr their widows and orphans. The sermon ended, llandel's celebrated coronation anthem, " Zadok the Priest," followed by that elaborate and splendid chorus, " And all the people shouted," were given in a faultless manner, and the Congregation then began to disperse. The plates were held by Mrs. Pepys, Lady Sarah Murray, Lady Margaret Cocke, Mrs. Fortescue, and Lady Lechmere, supported by Earl Beauchamp, Sir A. Lechmere, J. S. Pakington, Esq., M.P., and W. W. Essington, Esq. The sum collected amounted to nearly 801. more than the r u e T e v i a p r t d s s o o n f t h3elof/r.,s dayfirst i ng of the last Worcester Festival. This sum • includes 501. from Joseph Bailey, Esq., M.P. ; and as we understand,'2s/. from the City Cor poration. This result is most favourable to the prospects of the festival, The concert this evening (Tuesday) consists of Alexander's Feast, to be per formed with Mozart's additional accompaniments. To-morrow (Wednesday), we have the Messiah. cbr f they transfer themselves or are transferred to the towns, they are contented with a similar or some what better lot, and thus the condition of the la bourers in the rural districts has deterniined in a great measure the condition of the labouters in towns. In the country we find the soil owned in great masses, and the labourers without pro perty ; in the town; there are - many rich mer chants and great factory owners, and the bulk of theworking artisans are nearly as poor as agricul tural labourers. This condition attic labouring classes, with all its consequences of occasional deep distress and thorough. destitution, is not the fruit of any species of industry, for it is common to agriculture and manufactures. It is the con sequence of the distribution of property, and only those who will not give themselves the trouble to discriminate, or who wish to confuse and con found the public, will ascribe it to manufacturing industry, however extensively carried on. The great distinction, we think, between manufacturing industry and agricultural industry is, that the thriller is carried on by many per sons in conjunction, while the latter is carried on by single individuals, or by pairs. Whether a man beats with a hammer on an anvil, or guides a horse along a furrow, does not seem of much consequence ; but he who beats with a hammer generally does it in a workshop in conjunction with several other persons, while he who " drives his team a field" may see nobody but his mate the whole working day. In our judgment, that is the great and essential difference and distinc tion between manufacturing and agricultural in dustry. To dwell in a town implies to live and work continually with .one's fellew-creatures—to dwell in a rural district implies living in a great measure in solitude. What is the leading consequence of this es sential distinction, for we can only look at lead ing consequences ? It nourishes amongst agri culturists a surly sense of individual self-sutii eiency, which is miscalled independence. A peasant seldom needs much help. The plough man and his mate, or the waggoner and his mate, can perform all they have to perform without any assistance. The hedger or the ditcher may work' the" whole day in solitude. The ar tisan, on the contrary, is continually need ing the aid of others, or he works in conjunction with them. . The. .shoemaker or the tailor, for example, rarely cuts out his own work, and one man rarely completes a whole garment or an entire shoe. his the work of se veral hands. The same principle pervades the whole circle of manufacturing industry ; the weaver can do nothing without the spinner, and the dyer must wait- till the weaver has prepared the web he is to dye. So in casting, to quote another illustration—and every art or manufac ture, yields its own—one man makes the wooden model, another the mould in sand, a third pre pares the metal, and a fourth perhaps guides it gliding molten red, when all is prepared, into the destined hole. Each and all of these men looks for the aid of others to get his daily bread. The consequence is that manufacturing industry ge nerates in all engaged in it a deep practical sense of the dependence of man on man, which is at the bottom of all toleration and all justice. The theme is very extensive, and we feel the impracticability of doing justice to it in the com pass of a newspaper article ; nor should we have ventured on it were we not compelled to read, almost daily, the silliest diatribes possible ofig norant journalists, and ignorant, but most pre sumptuous, preachers against the manufacturing industry, not only of the country, but of the human race. It confirms our view to know that religious toleration and the love of justice have strengthened in mankind as the manufac-. turing and towVpopulation have grown on the agricultural an scattered population. That Test Acts and penal laws have been abolished amongst us are no hap-hazard or chance conse quences of the fine speeches of the heaven-born orator; they arc the result of that general sense of dependence of man on man, and of that gene ral love ofjustice which have grown up amongst us with the extension of our town population and our manufacturing industry. Let us add, in conclusion, that this sense of mutual dependence, caused by men habitually working together, begets a power of combination to achieve other things besides the production of cloth or iron, though that be the most essential, which should render a town population the pride of the politician. Venice, Genoa, Florence, Pisa, Antwerp, were all manufacturing towns, and each in its turn made a great figure in his tory, conquering large territories, or nursing the arts into gorgeous splendour. They achieVed so much by the power and habits of combination, which were forced on their crowded people. And has not the same power of combining multitudes to the attainment of one end now groVin up and been for some time one distinguishing character istic of Great Britain, enabling her to achieve great conquests abroad and mighty works at home, surpassing. both in the extent of her em pire and her internal conveniences, all previous nations? To rail against manufacturing industry is to rail against the means of making men feel a sense of mutual dependence, and becoming affec tionate, friendly, and just. It is railing, too, against the best means of teaching men how to combine their exertions for the attainment of a common end, and so achieving greatness bath in arts and arms. We call attention to a letter on the Parochial Assessment Act, which was passed to secure a unitbrmity of rating. When it was under dis cussion, Mr. POULETT SCROPE stated, we think, that such an Act could not be advantageously passed till the Poor-law Commissioners had been called into, existence; and to secure its well-work ing the Act was'in a manner placed under their guardianship. Accordingly it was enacted that no valuation for rating was to have any effect till the Commissioners had approved of it. In the present case a valuation was approved of by them which a party appealing against was en abled to set aside. The same valuation was re newed, and then the party, on applying to the Commissioners for assistance, was informed that their approval applied' only to the form of the document. We publish the letter chiefly to make the public aware of the fact, as this is perhaps the first case of the kind that has occurred ; and to inform all ratepayers who may rely. on the Commissioners, that they have now, as before, no other redress for an unequal valuation but the costly and troublesome one of an appeal. The value of a successful appeal, after the cost and trouble of making it have been incurred, may be learned from our Correspondent's coin mu nication. The Magistrates in petty session quashed the rate on account of inequalities in the valuation ; but the parties who had made it, within a month, made another rate on the same valuation or rentals, and that rate was approved of by one Magistrate residing in the parish, the rates on whose property had been previously ob jected to, and by another Magistrate residing at a distance, the two gentlemen acting separately'. Thus a rate which two Magistrates, acting to gether in petty session, set aside, two other Ma gistrates, acting individually, one of them a party much interested in the question, restores ; and the person who Extecessfully appealed against the first rate, must. go through the same vexatious process again— since the Poor-law Commissioners declare that flu: question is every way beyond their jurisclictio a —with a chance, if he attempt it , of being d e f eat ed The case ill, • injusti ce whic h astrates something more than the may . be perpetrated under a volumino us c o rol . intended. to prevent injustice.

Her Majesty and his Royal Highness visited the Duchess of Kent in the morning, and remained to lunch with her Royal Highness at Frogmore Lodge. On returning to the Castle the Queen rode out in a carriage and: four, accompanied by her Royal High ness the Princess Royal, and attended by the Dowager Lady Lyttelton, his Royal Highness the Prince of \Vales and his attendants following in a se cond carriage. His Royal Highness Prince Albert, attended by Colonel Bouverie and General Wemyss, accompanied her Majesty on horseback. His Imperial Highness the Archduke Frederick Ferdinand of Austria arrived at the Castle on a visit to the Queen, having the following noblemen and gen tlemen in his suite :—Le Baron de Lebzeltern, le Chevalier Marinovich, le Chevalier de Koecher, le Capitaine Dunmont, and le Compte Caroly. His Highness Prince Esterhazy also arrived at the Castle. The Earl of Liverpool and the Earl of Aberdeen ar rived on a visit. The Duke of Cambridge has left Woburn Abbey, Bedfordshire, where his Royal Highness had been staying on a visit to the Duke and Duchess of Bed ford, to honour Lord Ravensworth with a visit at Ravensworth Castle, Durham. His Imperial Highness the Archduke Frederick of Austria left Mivart's Hotel yesterday, on a visit to her Majesty, at Windsor Castle. Baron de Moncorvo, the Portuguese Minister,. had the honour of an audience of his Imperial Highness the Archduke Frederick of Austria, at Mivart's Hotel, to deliver letters from their Majesties the Queen and the King of Portugal. Baron de Moncorvo was presented to his Imperial Highness by his Highness Prince Esterhazy, the Austrian Ambassador. Their Royal Ilighnesses the Duchess and the Princess Augusta of Cambridge, accompanied by the Hereditary Prince of Mecklenburgh Strelitz, and at tended by Baroness Ahlefeldt, returned to Kew on Tuesday evening. His Excellency Edward Everett, the American Minister, accompanied by Mrs. and Miss Everett, started on Wednesday for Belvoir Castle, and a short tour of visits. Prince Esterhazy, the Austrian Ambassador, left town yesterday, on a visit to her Majesty at Windsor Castle. Sir Robert Peel arrived at his residence in White hall-gardens yesterday afternoon, from his seat Drayton Manor, Staffordshire. Captain Allen, Senior Officer of the Niger expedi tion, had an interview with Lord Stanley yesterday, at the Colonial-office. General Sancho, the Spanish Minister, transacted business yesterday at the Foreign-office. The Earl of Aberdeen left town yesterday afternoon on a visit to the Queen at Windsor Castle. Mr. George Lewis had an interview yesterday with Lord Stanley at the Colonial-office s The Royal dinner party, this evening, in addition to the above illustrious guests, will also include her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, Lady Charlotte Dundas, and Sir George Couper,,Bart. Yesterday evening Mr. Max Rohner, band-master to the King of Wurtemberg, had the honour of play ing on the violoncello before the Queen and Prince Albert. He was accompanied by Madame Duleken on the piano -forte, and the performance elicited from her Majesty and his Royal Highness the most grate ful expression of their approbation. WORCESTER MUSICAL r ESTI VAL. WORCESTER, TUESDAY.—The hundred and nine teenth festival meeting of the three choirs of Worces ter, Hereford, and Gloucester commenced here this morning. The Managing Committee on this occasion rejected all foreign aid, as may be seen by the follow ing list of principal vocal performers :—Miss Birch, Mrs. W. Loder (late Miss Woodyatt), Miss Marshall, Miss Davis, and Miss Dolby, Mr. Francis, Mr. Hunt, Mr. Hobbs, Mr. Pearsall, Mr. Leffler, and Mr. Phillips. Leaders—Mr. I% Cramer and Mr. Loder. Conductor—Mr. Surman. Mr. Arnott was appointed to preside at the organ, and Mr. Hunt at the pianoforte. Of the band it will be sufficient to observe that they were selected from the Ancient and Philharmonic Concerts, and the choral department from the Exeter Hall Sacred Har monic Society and the choral societies of Worcester, Birmingham, and Liverpool ; the band and chorus united numbering no less than 300 performers. The Lord Bishop of Worcester acted both as president and one of the stewards. The remainder of the stewardn were—Lcrd Lyttelton (the Lord-Lieutenant of the county), Earl Somers, Lord Ward, Hon. and Rev. J. Fortescue, F. W. Knight, Esq., M.P., E. J. Shirley, Esq.,'M.P. J. A. Taylor, Esq., M.P., Sir Thomas Wilde, M.P., Rev. G. R. Gray, Rev. J. Corn meline, Rev. W. H. Cartwright, J. Brown, Esq., W. Dent, Esq., W. W. Essington, Esq., James Foster, Esq., and W. Hemining, Esq. The arrangements ade for the reception of the public in the magnificent nave of the Cathedral (in which part the performances have not been held since the visit of George 111. in 1788), were most judicious and complete. The principal seats were laid along the floor of the nave, and the two aisles were fitted up 1 with galleries of rising seats ; while, reaching from the floor half way up the beautiful western window, was an immense gallery, covering an area of nearly 3,000 square feet, and capable of affording ample ac commodation to 1,000 persons. From the top of this gallery the coup d'ceil was magnificent. Among the other excellent arrangements made by the stewards, was a determination to reduce the prices of admission, which now, on the principal days, were fixed at 5s and 7s. 6d., and 155., thus rendering the performances as generally accessible as possible, and giving to the operative classes an opportunity of, sharing with their richer neighbours rehearsalone of the . highest enjoymentsintellec tsuusacleptible. e of which li k uma l n nature is day, and continued nearly througphaocuet on n he 'day. The doors of the Cathedral were opened on Tuesday at ten o'clock, and shortly there could not have been less than 1,300 present, exclusive of the performers. Among the company we observed Earl Beauchamp, the Hon. George Lygon, Sir A. Lechmere, Bart., Sir Thomas Wilde, M.P., J. S. Pakington, Esq , The Bishops of Worcester and Rochester attended in their robes. The note of preparation was first given from the new organ erected for this occasion, and from the top to the bottom of the immense orchestra was one scene of action among the instrumentalists. This noble instrument, we are assured, will rank among the most complete organs in the kingdom ; and so far as an opinion can be formed in its present unfinished state, fully bears out the already extended 1 1 fame of the builder (Hill, of London), both for ex quisite workmanship in the mechanical parts of his instrument, and delicate voicing of the pipes. Mr. Surman and the respective leaders having assumed their positions the service commenced, ,in the course of which was given the folloWing selection : Overture—" Esther" . . Grand Dettingen Te Deum Jubilate Quartett—" Sing unto God" } Dr. Croft. Chorus—" Cry aloud" . . Coronation Anthem —" Zadol: the Priest" Handel. The Veuite and Psalms were chanted by the whole vocal force to one of Havergal's most popular (No. 4 of the a't ti Own a 1 ) chants. The Dettingen Te Doan followed. It has been alleged that Handel has given it too much the character of a trumpeting military triumph, suit able certainly for the victory of Dettingen, but some what inappropriate to the sanctity of God's house. We, howeveii, believe it not only to have been one of the noblest conceptions of the author, but the finest compositiOn among the many which have been pro duced for this particular laudation. The opening was magnificent ; and in the chorus " To thee, cherub im , " the expression "continually do cry , " was g ive n with an overpowering effect. In " Heaven and earth are full," the idea was most beautifully embodied in the continual role of drums and the intensity of sounds, IRELAND. LORD DE GREY VERSUS LORD ELIOT. DUBLIN, Sm. 20.—The Evening Mail, last night, comforts the Orange party with the intelligence•that Lord De Grey is coming back to Ireland, to take the reins out of the unskilful hands of the Chief Secre tary, and to put an end to the " pranks" he has been playing in regard to the College election and other matters, the question of national education included!

Sir,—Although it was the anxious desire of Mr. Caldbeek and myself that the misunderstanding be tween the former and Mr. Emerson Tennent, and the subsequent correspondence which it gave rise to, should not he obtruded on the public, still as so many erroneous statements have gone abroad, I think it right, in justice to all parties, that the true one should now be laid before the public ; and shall feel much obliged by your inserting the enclosed in your first publication.—l have the honour to be your most obedient humble servantTHOMA, S JOHNSON SMYTH. Lisburn, Sept. 17, 1842. At Mr. Caldbeck's request, I accompanied him to Belfast, on' Saturday, the 3d of September, for the purpose of acting as his friend, in consequence of a misunderstanding which had taken place between Mr. Emerson Tennent and himself in the street of Bel fast, and which he informed me was cut short by Mr. Tennent saying, " If you have anything further to state, let it be through -a friend. I proceeded to Mr. Bates's office, and Mr. Tennent coming out of it, we shook hands ; I said, " you . are the very person I wish to see—l come on the part of my friend, Mr. Cald beck." Mr. Tennent said, " Whatever Mr. Caldbeck has to communicate, let it be in writing." I replied, " Your expressions and manner, " a few hours s i nce , were calculated to offend him. Mr. Tennent said, " Mr. Caldbeck's manner was the same ;" and added, " I could not intend to offend a person with whom I had shaken hands a moment before." Mr. Tennent said be was going o ut of town to-clay, but that he would remain for half an hour. I went to the Donegal Arms to speak to Mr. Cold beck, when we decid ed there shoU l d n o t be an y cor respondence. I found Mr. Tennent at Mr. Davison's office, and told him that I declined to enter into any e • correspondence, and that the expression gross mis statement," and his manner, were what Mr. Caldbeck felt offended at ; and Mr. Caldbeck having told me that Mr. Tennent had said, when the misunderstand ing first took place, " Whatever further . you have to expression, but that what he said state, do it tlwough a friend," I waited upon him in that, capacity. Mr. Tennent declared he had not made use of that was, " Put in writing whatever further you have to say." Upon hearing this, I said to him, " You are at issue, and I consider it right to speak to Mr. Cald beck," and requested Mr. Tennent to remain until I could do so, and confer with him on this point. Mr. Tennent said, " I will not wait any longer." Upon receiving this answer, I requested him to aPpoint friend with whom I could communicate he replied, " I will do no such thing." I repeated my request, and said, Am Ito understand that you refuse to appoint a friend?" he replied, " Most decidedly." Very shortly after this I received the letter marked No.l, in answer to which I sent letter 'marked No. 2, and received from Mr. Tennent the letter marked No. 3. THOS. ;JOHNSON SMYTH. No. I.

When I addressed Mr. Caldbeck to-day it was merely for the purpose of intimating that his speech of yesterday contained some gross misrepresentations with regard to myself; which I might probably think it worth while .to correct ; but that I imputed to him no intentional Misstatement, as the errors into whieh he had fallen were clearly _at tributable to hi s o b vious i gnor ance of everything co nnected with th e C onservat i ve p a rty in Belfast, a n d . more especially with 'those particulars which could only be known to those who are in the confidence of its influential . and acting members.

The recent conduct of the metropolitan police, as any one might have foreseen, has produced a reaction, which manifests itself very visibly in the Police-offices and at the Central Criminal Court. Charges are brought every day against parties for annoying the constables by some marksof disrespect, and also, as they occasionally swear. by knocking them down. The Magis trates, however, begin to be very cautious in re ceiving their evidence, and subject them to no little inconvenience by cross-examination, and by occasionally giving more credit to the simple statements of the defendants, than to charges made on oath. This has occurred in several in stances lately, and the result has been, that men who were described by these public functionaries as guilty of violent and unprovoked assaults have been dismissed without even a reprimand. Juries be into decide in the same spirit. At the Central Criminal Court yesterday aprisoner was tried for cutting and wounding a police-constable, with intent to do hint some grievous bodily harm," and though the charge was supported by a wit ness who volunteered his services, and pointed out the prisoner in the crowd as the offender, the Jury returned a verdict of not guilty. Be AsTs indicted a second time for a common assault, and resisting a constable in the exe cution of his duty. It appeared that in this case the prisoner was taken completely by sur prise. Neithet'pe nor his advisers were aware of the indictmen(till he_ was arraigned, and Mr. BALLANTINE justly denounced the conduct of the Commissioners in putting the prisoner on his trial a second time without due notice; but the attempt failed, and the Jury a second time re turned a verdict of not guilty. It was fortu• nate that Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN was on the Bench, for had a Judge of a different character presided the Jury might have had some difficulty in following, what appeared to be their own con victions. "The verdict," said he, " must . depend on the point whether the prisoner was there accidentally, as a quiet spectator merely ; in which case the police had no right to in terfere with him." This no doubt is the law, yet, in defiance of it, the police at some of the late meetings arrested persons sitting quietly at their own doors, brutally knocked down others on the high road, and one respect able individual who, according to his solemn asseveration, was entirely innocent until he was unjustly assaulted, was convicted last sessions on such evidence as that produced yesterday, and is now working like a felon on the treadmill. The public do not soon forget such deeds of injustice, and Jurors, when they find their recommenda tions to mercy disregarded. by the Judge, pro perly exercise the power entrusted to them by law. This should be a warning to the Govern ment and their servants, the Police Comtnis sioners ; for if this new force is not speedily placed on a better footing, it will become an in strument of evil, and be put down by general acclamation. The Tories, it should seem, have, not yet reco vered from their a.,:tonishment and dismay at the course of policy pursued by Sir R. PEEL during the last session. The agricultural portion of them, in particular, who denounce everything in the shape of free trade as a monstrous innovation on the good old order of things, still continue to harp with as much bitterness as ever on the cruel sacrifices they have been compelled to make, by a Minister of their own choosing, from whom they had a right to expect kinder treat ment. Mr. CONYERS, who speaks the sentiments of a large section of the Essex Tories, hints pretty significantly his suspicions that, the agri culturists have been duped and betrayed by Sir ROBERT PEEL, observing, " I hope in what he has done, we shall not feel ourselves injured or betrayed;" and a Tory Contemporary re marks this morning, in still Lzore explicit lan guage, "In the Income-tax, the Corn-law, and the Tariff, the landed interests have been called upon to make sacrifices, the amount of which is unlimited and incalculable. The stub born truth is, that the measures brought forward by Sir H. PEEL are not those which the CDnserva tive electors were led to expect from him. The constituencies throughout the country were influ enced by the understanding that the Minister would give full and adequate protection to home industry ; but his official career has taken a di rection the contrary to what the fulfilment of that understanding would dictate. Hence the confiding electors have reason to complain of disappointment." From these and other signi ficant indications that escape them from time to, time, it is evident that there are such serious divisions and sub-divisions among the Tories as must prevent them henceforth from acting toge ther with cordiality. A portion of them will, no doubt,_ still continue to give a sort of sulky sup port to Sir ROBERT PEEL; but the more obsti nate arid energetic of the squad will most likely draw off from him altogether; rally under some new banner; adopt Monopoly as their political Shibboleth ; and at some critical moment, when parties are nicely balanced in the House, fling their weight into the scale of Opposition, just as they did on Sir H. PARNELL'S question of the Civil List, when they coalesced with the Whigs, and upset the Duke's Administration. Of course, by so acting, they will be virtually committing political suicide ; but the lessons of experience are lost on fools; and a discontented Tory is the most headstrong and unreflecting of aninials, who will stick at nothing to gratify his revenge. But however these Tory advocates of Monopoly act—whether they make up their minds to support or to oppose Sir ROBERT PEEL, one thing is certain—namely, that they will be able to inflict no very serious amount of mis chief on the country. They are a daily dimi nishing party, whose opinions find no echo in the breast of the community at large. They are as old-fashioned as the pig-tail which their favourite Lord SIDMOUTH still, we believe, wears; and in a few years will have become an extinct species, like the Mammoth and the Iguanodon. At -the meeting of the Royal Mail Steam- Packet Company, held yesterday, a very full Report was read of the expenses of the under taking, the cause of the failure, and the new arrangements made with the Admiralty. It ap peits that the combination hitherto acted upon, involved • a *steam service of 684,816 miles in the year, which was found too extensive for the number of vessels em ployed (fourteen), and incurred an outlay, for which the Government grant, and the other receipts, did not afford at all adequate remu neration. They had, therefore resolved to limit the number of vessels to twelve, and reduce the steam service to nearly one-half, or about 393,000 miles in - the year. The saving by the new system is estimated at 125,0001. per annum, and the Directors anticipate that it will be worked with such regularity as to recommend the service to the favour of the Government and the public, and produce an adequate di victim* Ur . the Shareholders. The expen diture up to the end of August, 1842, including 733,052/. f or building twelve ships, purchase and outfit of schooners and other steamers,lB2,ooo/., and coals 105,0001., amounted to 1,206,933/. This is a grand undertaking, and we trust the Proprietors will meet with that support from the public to which such a useful and rapid means of communication with the Western world is entitled. According to accounts from Madrid of the 13th instant, the Minister of Finance had dis missed three officers of his department, as un worthy of public confidence—namely, M. BRAVO, Accountant-General ; M. MAGRATH, Director- General of the United Rents; and the Admi nistrator of the Customs of Seville. M. MAGRATH had been replaced by M. THOMAS RIMENES, Intendant of Cadiz. tiARY OF NEWS The Ministry, it appears, had succeeded in raising some fund—a circumstance the more fortunate, as the troops were beginning to murmur. It is the intention of the Cabinet to present the Cotton Bill at an early stage of the session. It will be supported by a certain number of De puties, particularly by the Andalusian members, who are strenuous advocates of free trade; but it will have to encounter, on the other hand, the Opposition of the coalition, who are determined to resist the Ministry on every question, and of the Deputies from Catalonia and the Balearic Islands. The Three per Cents. were done at 21 5-16 t at 69 days, and the Five per Cents. at 27 g 13-16 13-16 at 60 days, for 13,800,000 reals. The Four per Cents. sold for 181 at 58 days, with the 11 couponF. The Paris papers of 'Tuesday are still barren of domestic intelligence, but contain long articles on the affairs of other countries. The dismissal of IZZET MEHEMET, and the present and future state of Syria, give rise to long speculations. "The change of Ministry," says the correspon dent of the Constitutionnel, " will necessarily bring about a speedy termination of the Syrian question. SELIM BEI' returned to Constantinople from Beyrout, on the 28th ult., and immediately on his arrival the representatives of the five Powers sent in a note to the Divan, earnestly directing its attention to the solution of that ques tion. A collective conference with the Minister for Foreign Affairs is to take place in a few days, and it is believed that the Porte will readily ac quiese in the demands of Europe respecting the administration of that province." "The system of violent re-action," according to the Presse, "is now at an end. The SULTAN appears determined to adopt anew a policy of reform. RAOUF PACHA, whom he has elevated to the post of Grand Vizier, will have to resume the work-, suspended ever since the downfal of REDSCHID PACHA. The internal ' administration will be milder and more equitable for the rayas, and the Christians of Syria will now obtain the protection which they vainly claimed during the last two years. Such is at least the programme of the new Ministry." The Journal des Debats thus defends the Go vernment for having established the monopoly of the gum trade in Senegal. " The Govern ment," it says, " acted within the sphere of its legal authority. By allowing matters to remain as they stood in February last, a complete catas trophe was inevitable, which would have ul timately left two or three wealthy houses in possession of the trade of Senegal, 'amidst the ruins of all the others. If it is found necessary to obstruct for a while the opera tions of a few merchants, it rescued hundreds of others from utter discomfiture, and saved our harbours several millions, which, but for that extreme measure, would have been irretrievably lost. Finally, the Government was directed in its conduct by political considerations. If France enjoys any power on the coast of Africa, if her commerce has assumed there a considerable de velopment, if her factories require for their pro tection a very small military force, it is because the country is inhabited by a population of French citizens, who really represent our means of action arid power. Now, this population, so useful, is.reduced at present to such a situation that if timely assistance. be not afforded it will be obliged to emigrate, and seek among . our rivals means of existence which it cannot find in our colony."

From the great irregularity which has occurred of late in the communication with the West Indies and South America, the report of the West India Mail Steam Packet Company has been, read with interest. It is generally considered that, however unfortunate the result has been, the Directors have done their duty to the public, in carrying out the arrangements, though at a loss, and the new "combination" to the Company is thought to be likely to bring about at least a certainty in receipt of correspondence. The defect in the old. plan of attempting too much, which had been fre quently pointed out, is admitted in the report, and by the proposed route will apparently be removed, inas much as the distance of 684,816 miles in the year is to be reduced to 392,976 miles, with every prospect of success.
