SEPTEMBER 26, 1842. The American tariff Is exciting the indigna tion of some journalists and manufacturers. They regard England as an injured country, and demand revenge. They are sentimental or maudlin in their resentment, and exclaim against the ingratitude as well as the injustice of the United States. Even homilies on the weakness and folly of mankind are served up, and the sil liness of the free-trader is demonstrated at once by the conduct of the Congress. "No nation," we are fretfully told, " responds to the sacrifice of Great Britain. Great things were expected from the influence of our example, and the result is an utter failure." "Glorious reciprocity this. A noble specimen of the blessings of one-sided f; et: - _trade." Our re.:ders, we hope and believe, have not so completely torg;otton what happened during' the - last session co: Parliament, as to suppose with the Tory writers that Great Britain either then made a move towards free-trade in respect of America, or that America has shown a want of gratitude and right feeling, as well as a due ap preciation of her own self-interest, in passing her tariff. It may be as well, however, to remind theni—the writers alluded to would be sorry not to ha ve forgotten, as they would then want every excuse for their attempts to mislead the public —of what actually happened. The first great forward last session commercial measure brought was the Corn-law; and it was then earnestly impressed on Sir R. PEEL and the House, by Mr. TH ORN ELEY in particular, and other Hon. Members, that the ()Teat comparative distance of America rendered the sliding scale peculiarly obnoxious to her. She could never carry on any corn trade with this country, it was said, to any extent under that scale, beeaue the varying averages rendered all such trade, with a cou ntry so distant, peculiarly uncertain. An order might be sent for a cargo of corn w h ea l the markets were rapidly risin g, andbefore it could be brought in great importations poured in from the neighbouring Continent, or from the Baltic ports, might beat down the markets, and ruin the importers. This view seems amply confirmed by facts. It appears, by the tables published by the House of Commons, that the total quantity of wheat imported into this country was, in 1837, 455,871 quarters ; in 1838, 1,241,400 quarters; in 1839, 2,634,666 quarters; and, in 1840, 1,993,383 quarters—while from the United States, that great country which could supply twice as much as we have imported from all the world, there only came, in 1837, 130 cwt. of flour; in 1838, 555 quarters of wheat, and 19,550 cwt. of flour; in 1839, 3,760 quarters of wheat, and 432,742 cwt. of flour; and, in 1840, el 73,655 quart • s of wheat, and 984,467 cwt. of flour. It was therefore, that our Co rn -l aw, in proved, conse quence of the sliding:scale, was peculiarly an d emphatically injurious to the United States, and two attempts were made to alter the mode of takirig the averages, or collecting :the duties, so ~ ~~-, as to render the operation of the law, if possible, equal for the most distant and the nearest coun tries. Both were rejected. Lord Howrcx, there fore, said with great propriety on May 13, when he moved his resolution relative to the differen tial d u ties.— They had already passed one measure, which was contrary to the principles, if not to the very letter, of the reciprocity system. He alluded to the Corn Im portation Act, the sliding scale of which op eratedunflistly against distant countries. As that measure was calcu lated to injure the United States of America in their trade with us, it was the snore particularly necessary in any other changes they made to avoid inflicting on them any new blow of the same kind. The new Corn-law, therefore, justly as the Americans might hope to see "that odious law abolished, from a regard to our own interests, was a blow at the trade of the United States. It struck down many well-founded expectations, and converted many an American, willing to be a commercial friend, into a commercial opponent s obliged to seek a market elsewhere than Eng land for his produce. But what was the new blow aimed at the United States? Lord Howtcx shall explain, and we will afterwards show that, in other respects, our new regulations have given a blow to America, of which their tariff, that has hit the English manufacturers so hard, is only the rebound. " .Now, in the very fi rs t sc h e d u l e o f th e amen d e d tariff," said Lord Howick, " a new protective duty was to be granted to the colonies in the article of provisions, which would materially affect our trade with America. In salted provisions he believed it possible that a considerable trade might grow up be tween this country and America. Was it, then, wise or politic in the present state of public opinion in both countries, to grant our colonies the right of sending us salted provisions at one-fourth of the duty paid on the article when imported from foreign countries ?" " Cheese and butter now paid at the same rate when imported from our colonies, as when imported from abroad." " But under the proposed tariff the duties were to be reduced to one-fourth the duty on foreign, as regarded those articles of consumption when im ported from our own colonies." Precisely as by this new scheme of differential duties, we bestowed advantages on the colonies, so have the Americans, by their tariff, bestowed advantages on their Lowell manufacturers. If we blame the Americans let us also blame Sir R. PEEL for setting them this bad example. But this part of the tariff, as it affects the United States, can only be duly appreciated in conjunc tion with another measure passed last session, the Colonial Customs' Act. If there had been no other duties than the new differential duties. the United States might have sent their butter and cheese through Canada to England as Cana dian produce, just as they have sent a consider able quantity of American timber. The Colonial Customs' Act, for the first' time, imposed a duty on American flour when imported into Canada of 2s. the barrel, on salt meat of 3s. per cwt., on butter of Bs. per cwt., on cheese ss. per cwt. Now these and several other duties were imposed last session on American produce, and imposed in practice exclusively on that, not by name, but in fact. " By the present system," said Mr. Labouchere on the 15th of April, " the article of wheat flour and cured provisions were allowed to cross the borders of the United States into Canada without paying any duty whatever. That principle was adopted by the House in 1631, on a full consideration of the ques tion." Under the plan of Lord Sydenham, which was now the law, salted provisions were imported into Canada from the United States free, as far as the Im perial Parliament was concerned. Government now proposed a duty of 30 per cent. on salted provisions and cured meat." In spite of Mr. LABOUCHERE, Government per sisted in inflicting this new blow on the trade with the United States, and from the consequence of its acts we are now suffering. It always appeared to us that the most promi nent feature in the new tariff was a desire to check the increase of trade with America. The duty on its staple export, cotton, though the re duction of it would have been of infinite advan tage to our manufacturers, was obstinately main tained, when great reductions were made in other articles, at its old rate. It is just possible that the United States might import coarse articles of ma nufactured cotton into this country, but not pro bable that it will import linen. But " The cotton manufacturers of our colonies," said Lord Howick, " was protected, and the linen was not. There was no less a difference than 50 per cent. between the amount of duty chargeable on cotton manufactures coming from our colonies, and on those coming from foreign countries, while on the duty on linen manufacture there was no difference." In practice, at least, that is a blow aimed at the American cotton manufacture, not asked for by our own cotton manufacturers. By the most noted reductions in our duties, such as those on live cattle, the Americans roust rather lose than gain, tbr they cannot send us live cattle, and the importation of them from the Continent will beat down the price of the salted meat which the Americans can send. Again, the Americans are to supply us, through Canada with much timber, and the alteration in our timber duties, made with a view to restore the Baltic trade, which improper duties had de stroyed, and with a view to prevent England becoming wholly dependent on America for timber, was not advantageous to the United States. From the alterations made in our tariff, which is not favourable to the United States from the Colonial Customs' Act, which imposed new duties on American produce, and from our new system of differential duties, which conferred ad vantages on our colonies, as contradistinguished from the United States, we conclude that the measures of last session were very injurious to American trade, and we believe that they were intended to be injurious. It would be advisable for our writers to look closely and attentively at home before they reproach theArnericans. The evil . - has now been mutually inflicted, and our present business is to consider the remedy. We would suggest that England reverses her own practices instead of extending and enforcing them by new duties. The abolition of the duty on raw cotton or wool, and on all the materials, dye-stuffs, &c., used in manufacture, together with the abo lition of the food taxes, would enable our manu facturers to work so cheaply as to undersell the Americans in their own market. That would be a noble revenge, and certain to be successful. We congratulate the community, and in par ticular we congratulate the labouring classes, that men in high places—that the leading or gans of public sentiment, are beginning to open their hearts and understanding, to the important fact that the poverty and discontent of the la bouring classes are endangering the peace and happiness of all classes, and require to be imme diately remedied. The Times of Saturday morning has an article in which this doctrine is clearly and manfully laid down. " What," it says, "is really the rising political evil which so many appear dimly to apprehend, and so few distinctly to realize and grapple with ? Is it not this— that property and labour are beginning to array themselves against each other ? Is the labourer as well off as his labour deserves ? Is 75., Bs., or even 9s. Sd. a week (a price which a Man chester employer takes to himself some credit for giving, and which exceeds the wages of many agricultural counties) a satisfactory remu neration for 72 hours of toil ? Is not the per ception of this stinging fact the real source of that discontent of which we have so lately seen a startling ebullition ? Does not the disaffection derive its force from the truth of this complaint?" There is a full justification for disaffection ; there too is the condemnation of the present boasted system.; for our Contemporary admits that the agricultural labourers are worse off than manufacturing labourers. But while the Times clearly sees the mighty evil, it can find no t r l e .o n m l e d a y de f e o p r .s i e t a . t e . E d ,'• it be dealt with b y a tax or aipttrasorpaiyff.el;ivwaairrieiiccineloctraistnoe scarcely be repealed by Act of Parliament." Reflect, reader, what does this amount to? Evils cannot be cured by law, passions cannot be put down by Parliament. The Times proclaims, where the good of the labouring classes is con cerned, the impot ency of legislation. They will say, if it cannot protect us from the avarice of the upper classes, why does it pretend to p rovid eforeverypa s r a t uc of , so ciety? The fact is, Acts of Parliament tion, nourish, and consecrate the avarice of the landowners, the avarice of the priesthood, and the avarice of certain classes of capitalists; they cause the evil, and will not allow of that being counteracted by freedom in the other classes. There is no rooting out of the heart the love of wealth, and what the Legislature ought to do is to give it free play in all classes; then would the avarice of the landlords, the avarice of the priests, and the avarice of the ca pitalists, be corrected by the avarice of the other classes. The higgling of the market, in markets perfectly free, would soon bring the upper classes to a due sense of the importance of setting a better and a very different example from their present conduct. We do not, like the Times, despair of finding a remedy for this untoward and threatening state of things, which arises from the working classes being deprived of their thir share of the benefits of society. They want more food, more clothing, better dwellings, and better furniture ; wants that ought to be encouraged and ought to be gratified. Food is freely offered them from all parts of the world, but the law prevents them from get ting it; and, having plenty of food other comforts could be obtained as matters of course. Abolish the Corn-law, therefore, and let the bellies of the people be filled, and their hearts will cease to be discontented. In aspiring after something better, individuals will improve society. For a commercial community, com mercial freedom is the first requisite; let us have that, and political freedom, with moral regene ration, will speedily follow. A singular exhibition took place on Friday in the Central Criminal Court, on the trial of a man sixty years of age, charged with three offences— attempting to stab a policeman, obstructing him in his duty, and committing a common assault; yet, though the net was spread so wide, he would have escaped from his prosecutors but for the interference of the RECORDER. The Jury, after hearing the evidence of two-policemen, the only witnesses examined, returned a verdict of Not Guilty, when the Judge, adverting to the dif ferent charges, requested them to re-consider their verdict, and added, " if you disbelieve the evidence altogether, you will do right to acquit the prisoner." One of the Jury immediately said, " I do not believe the evidence ;" yet the RECORDER again requested them to re-consider their verdict, and they at last found the prisoner guilty of a common assault. Here a Juror de clares, on his oath, that he does not believe the policeman, but on being pressed to look at the evidence a second time, be votes against his con viction, and consequently adjudges a man to punishment whom he believes innocent. Such vacillating conduct is highly reprehensible, but at the same time we think the Juror was not the only person to blame, for he had in fact acquitted the prisoner, and it was the duty of the Judge, after the return of the whole Jury, and after this statement on oath, to have dis missed the case. On looking at the evidence in this trial, and also to the second indictment against the same individual, we are strongly dis posed to consider this convicted prisoner entirely innocent. He had committed no offence, even according to the showing of the witnesses, till he and the policeman were pushed down together, when he naturally imagined that the policeman was the aggressor, and be lieving that he was in imminent danger, for he exclaimed " I am fighting for my life," he prepared to defend himself. If he had attempted to stab the policeman the case would have been different; but, like the Jury, we have great doubts on that point, and where such doubts exist the prisoner is entitled to an acquittal. The Graham's Town Journal of the 30th of June copies from the Zuid Africain, the Dutch journal at the Cape of Good Hope, a manifesto of the Boers of Port Natal in answer to the proclamation of the British Government declar ing them to be British subjects. This manifesto bears date the 21st of February, 1842, and is re markable for the deep moral and religious feeling which pervades it. After protesting against any attempt to reduce them from the dignity of a free people, they observe—" We wish it may be well understood that we do not intend to give offence, to reproach, or to give reason for any warlike acts, as it is our hearty wish and desire to live in peace with all men, and that nothing should induce us to take up arms to shed human blood, except the conviction that we cannot avoid it, or when the protection of our property (which we have so dearly obtained), and of our very ex istence, shall require, or also when we find that might and not right is exercised towards us. 'We know that there isa GoD who is the rulerof heaven and earth, and who has the power, and is willing to protect the injured, though weaker, against oppressors. In HIM we put our trust and the justice of our cause; and should it be HIS will that a total destruction be brought down upon us, our wives and children, and everything we have or possess, we will, with due submission, acknow ledge to have deserved it from Him, but not from men. We are aware of the power of Great Britain, and it is not oar object to defy that Power; ,but at the same time we cannot allow that might instead of right should triumph, without having employed all our means to oppose it." Such sentiments as these cannot fail to make a very deep impression upon the moral-minded people of this country. The Boers proceed to declare that the decrees of the English Government, and the maladministra tion of the colony, alone forced them to penetrate the wilderness, and entrust themselves to the savageness of an African desert. They had in vain implored from the English Go vernment a system of representation, the most sacred and highly-prized of British civic rights, and for which Englishmen are ready to shed their blood. The British authorities permitted them to emigrate—allowed them to settle at Port Natal, and to proclaim their independence, with- out a word of remonstrance. They had to defend themselves against the savages, who murdered 600 of them ; yet, though aware of their condition, the . _ British Government never offered the shadow of protection. They had learned, they observed, with pain that they had been represented as wild, uncultivated men, who were tired of all civil and ecclesiastical laws, and desired to live an unbri dled life, after the promptings of their fancy. Although only simple peasants, to whom it was not permitted to take part in public affairs in their native land, yet they had succeeded in founding a government which was entitled to pub lic confidence and respect. The document goes on to say, that their town is built in the most regular manner, and is improv ing every day, and the cultivation of the whole country around it is constantly advancing ; they have erected a spacious place of worship to GOD, and the education of their children is firmly established the warlike Zoolahs who ived around them had been frustrated in all their hostile attempts, and at present take up arms only at long intervals. Already two mis sionaries were busy amongst those tribes under the emigrants' protection, and there was reason to believe that their civilisation would advance more rapidly than that of the Caffres on the frontiers of the colony. All this had been effected under great difficulties, and they im plored his Excellency not to overturn all their hopes of future prosperity. Already agents were busy among the Caffres, stating that if they desired to join the English the flocks of the emigrants should become their spoil. They could not say that his Excel lency authorised such proceedings; they only knew that they were taking place. Could the civilised world blame them if, under' such cir cumstances, and when so inhumanly persecuted, they should risk every thing for the preservation o f life ? In conclusion, they protest against their town being taken possession of, as the proclama tion threatened; and declared that from that day they did not consider themselves responsible before GOD, before their consciences, and before men, for the consequences of such an act. The document is signed by " Jcacanw Pat- Now, President of the Popular Council," " J. sk • , THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 26, 1842. J. BURGER, Secretary," and all the mEmbers . Such is the substance of the Boers' manifesto, which may be expected to excite the attention of civilized Europe. It places the conduc: of the British Government in a very disgraceful light. As it the African continent were too small for our ambition, we make war upon a peaceful set tlement of Dutch emigrants, 125 miles beyond the boundaries of British civilisation at tle Cape. Whatsoever may be the fate of the Boers—and the probability is that they may be cut off by the savage Caffres—this affair will afford mate rials for a disgraceful chapter in the futare colo nial history of this country. General BUGEAUD'S pamphlet on Algeria continues to be discussed in the French journals. The Opposition journals point out and dwell upon the breach of military duty com mitted by the Governor-General in writing at all, contrary to the express order of the Minister of War, who has directed that no officer in active service shall presume to express an opinion upon military affairs. The affair at Port Natal is dwelt upon, and the conduct of the British Government reprobated by the Debats of Thursday. M. Martinez de la Rosa has arrived at Paris. Colonel Delarue, of the staff of the Minister of War, has left Paris on a mission to Algeria. The French Prefect of Police has just issued a list of regulations and recommendations, which are highly important to gas consumers. It is strictly enjoined to ventilate with great care all places in which gas is used ; to have turncocks shutting most accurately, and to be particular in oiling them frequently, and to have, in addition to the smaller cocks for regulating the quan - tity of gas consumed, a principal one in each establish ment, by which in a moment the light can be extinguished. The moment an odour of gas is per ceived, it is recommended that the windows and doors should be opened, and notice given to the Gas Com pany that something wrong has taken place, and it is advised that whenever an escape of gas should happen to take fire, a wet linen cloth should be thrown over the place from whence it escapes, as this will imme diately extinguish it. Gas Companies are bound to send a copy of these regulations and recommendations to every person making use of their gas. The Cologne Gazette gives the following as the address of the King of Prussia to the Bth corps of the army, after the late grand review :—" I am delighted to be able to express my satisfaction to the troops of the Bth corps of the army, as much at the zeal which the officers of all ranks have manifested, and the goodwill shown by the soldiers of the dif ferent brigades, as the good understanding sub sisting between the Line and the Landwehr. In general, I am satisfied with the manner in which the manoeuvres have been executed. I reserve to my self the task of communicating to the army hereafter, for its information, several observations which were made in the course of its operations. I shall at pre sent merely remark, as a matter of great importance, that it is necessary, without, however, uselessly fa tiguing the soldier, to maintain as much as possible, even during the manoeuvres, the interior order of close battalions, as well as in the lines of tirailleurs, seeing - that without the arrangement an engagement becomes disor derly and without direction. A greater number of tirail leurs should never be employed than circumstances re quire, and the officers ought never to lose sight of them, particularly when a combat is to take place in a village or on broken ground. In the course of ma noeuvres particular attention ought to be paid to the effect of fire. arms, and cavalry, when it is forced to retire, should never bring itself within range of the enemy's musketry. I have been pleased with the ar tillery, as well as the condition of the troops and the state of the horses, especially those for the Landwehr by the communes, which proves to me the interest taken in the important institution of the Landwehr." We find the following statement in the Publicateur de Saint Maio :—" We have this moment received the news that the ships which sailed from St. Malo, and St, Servan, for the Newfoundland cod fishery, after having completed half of their fishing in the Gulp on those parts of the coast granted to France, went to the English fishing grounds, from which they were driven by the men of war on • the station. W e are assured that several vessels have been confiscated, and sent to Canada. " It will be remembered that the English boats seized on our oyster fishing grounds we re re l ease d on the occasion of the Ist of May. This' is the way in which we treat our good friends, and that in which they treat us." "We have received by way of Toulon the African mail of the 15th. "An - order of General de Bar, c omman di ng a d interim the province of Algiers, inserted in the Mani teur Algerien of the 15th, acquaints the army with the arrival of Rear-Admiral Faure, who is appointed to the command of the naval force at Algiers, in the room of Rear-Admiral Regoudit. " The Governor-General, who had been to Oran and Mostaganem to complete the organisation of the Arab government, returned to Algiers on the 11th. A great number , of Arabs from th e i n t er i or were t h ere expecting him. Commerce. BOURSE—PARIS, THURSDAY, SEPT. 22. First Highest Lowest Last Price. Price. Price. Price.

Dr. Chalmers, on arriving by the Belfast steam -packet at Glasgow, on Sunday morning, found awaiting him the most pressing letters to be in Edinburgh at the Commission of the Church of Scotland on that day ; and as no place in a public coach could be procured, he was urged to avail himself of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, on the plea of necessity, arising out of the unusual importance of the occasion. The Rev. Doctor de clined, saying that the possible advantage of his pre sence at the Commission was counterbalanced by the positive disadvantage of countenancing a railway which profaned the rest of the Sabbath." What exquisite cant is this ! What unworthy truck ling to fanaticism! Doctor Chalmers is not unwilling to walk on the Sabbath ; but to ride, shocks his sense of devotion, just as though one mode of locomotion were sinful, and another perfectly virtuous. - It is a humiliating spectacle to see a man of such superior capacity, as th e aut h or o f th e " Evidences of Chris tianity," thus figuring among the Maw-worms of the day, confounding religion with its antagonist, bi gotry ; and making himself a subject of ridicule to all who have intellect enough to count ten on their fingers. elderlyt i a n k a in m g o a m pe en n t sis o -e f MR. CALLA GIIAN ._A C CTDENT IN ST. JAMES'S PARK.—An Evening Contemporary of Wednesday stroll in St. James's last, gave a touching account of a pleasant, smiling, abstraction, walked off the rosy, bank into the lake, and I n e t s l , e s m p a a n i , l4, found himself in four-feet water, among a brood of astonished ducks, whose movements he seriously em barrassed by his presence. After swallowing several who, sudd u e .h n i l l y e , undesired mouthfuls of the cooling liquid, the gentleman manag e d to u plift his voice, "like a sparrow on the housetops, or a pelican in the wilderness" for assistance , whereupon two young ladi es, wh o h a ppened to be in the im mediate neighbourhood, rushed to his aid, and angled for him with a long scarf, which he caught at with trout-like avidity, and was with some trouble hauled ashore—the oddest fish that had ever been caught in St. J ames ' s Park within " the memory of the oldest livin g inhabitant ! " The accoun t added that this gentleman was Mr. Daniel Callaghan, M.P.; but we are authorised to state he was not the indivi dual who astonished the ducks, and was angled for, and caught with a lady's scarf, for he was, at the time, two hundred miles distant from the ducks, the scarf, and the ladies ! Mr. George Robins, we find, has become the purchaser of the fine property in the Cape of Good Hope called Slatherts Poort. It con sists of forty-three thousand four hundred acres of rich pasture land. The flocks of sheep are immense and very prolific, and the Merino wool in great request in England: The best wheat in Mark-lane has frequently been traced from the Cape. The Madras Cavalry derive their supplies from there, and St. Helena is much indebted to the produce from the Cape. It is said to be in the contemplation of Mr. Robins to encourage (by fixing a very low rent at firat) a set of clever industrious Scotch farmers, who will go and locate in this beautiful country with their families, and with a very bright prospect of in dependence in the perspective. The Merino wool from the fine flocks of sheeps on this property is greatly esteemed. The wines are in great abundance, having upon this domain 3,000 or 4,000 fine vines, and lots of fruit trees. The extent of the purchase made by Mr. George Robins, exceeds the territory of many of the German Princes, and the income in three or four years will probably surpass it. We find in the Stamford Mercury the following strange paragraph :—•'Since the `suspension' of the Rev. T. S. Escott, the vicar of Gedney, in this county, for the good of his soul's health and the lawful cor rection and reformation of his recent excesses, especi ally for refusing to bury the child of a Dissenter,' not any Church service has been performed in that large parish of 2,000 souls, which pays to the esta blishment an annual sum of 3,000/. In tithes to the rector and the vicar. Funerals (so called) are per formed without any burial service being read, and the whole ghostly offices of the church and the parish are suspended like the minister."—lf this be true and we sincerely trust it • is not it reflects great discredit on Mother. Church. No wonder that Dissent spreads far and wide throughout the country, and that the Puseyite zealots are making their influence felt in all quarters, when the old Dame is guilty of such gross negligence. She is , paid hand somely for doing her duty, and to neglect it—no matter-in how slight a degres—argues culpability of no ordinary dye. Why does not the Bishop of the diocese interfere in this Gedney business? If it were a question of tithe, or one involving any of the tem poralities of the see, we doubt not the ghostly Prelate would have interfered effectually long ere this. Priests are seldom languid in action when their tem poral interests are invaded. THE MARQUIS OF WELLESLEY.—The following answer was given to inquiries on Saturday at King ston-house, Knightsbridge :—" The Marquis of Wel lesley is somewhat better." MADRID BOURSZ, SErr. 15.—One bargain was concluded in the Four per Cents. with 3 coupons, at 18} at 56 days. The Five per Cents. sold for 26i for cash, and 27 9-16 + lat 60 days. The titles of the foreign converted debt were done at 18, at 60 days, with 3 coupons, and the debt bearing no in terest at 51. It is generally understood in legal circles, that Mr. Charles Phillips, the barrister, is to have a lucrative appointment under the new Bankruptcy Act passed in the last session.—Observer. [We are glad to hear it, for no man deserves it better. Such appointments would do credit to any Government.—ED. Sun.] Nearly 4,0001. have been already subscribed for the monument to the memory of the late Thomas William Coke, Earl of Leicester. Prominent amongst the subscribers is Lord Wodehouse, the Lord Lieutenant of Norfolk, for 501., who had all through life been op posed to the deceased Peer in politics. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, SATURDAY EVENING. But little alteration was visible in the prices of the English Funds; the market, however, was firm. Consols left off at 92i 92i for Money, and 93 sellers for the Account. India Stock, 249 251 ; Exchequer Bills, Old, 50 52 ; New, 49151 premium. The prices of Foreign Securities were—Belgian, 102 103 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 51i 51i ; the Five per Cents., 102 1021; Danish, 83/ 84/ ; and Brazilian, 66 67. The nominal quotation for Mexican was 35 351. In the Share Market, London and Birmingham were 182 184 ; Birmingham and Gloucester, 40 42 ; Great Western, 81f 82*; the Half Shares, 59 59k; South Western, 57f ; North Midland, 56 58; the New Shares, 27f 28*; South Eastein, 22 224; Eastern Counties, 84 8f ; Blackwell, 64 7; and Brighton, 334 324 per share. The quotations of the Bonds were—Colombian, 20f 21; Peruvian, 15f 164; Portuguese Five per Cents., 35+ 354 ; the Three per Cents., 21 211 ; Spanish Five per Cents., 16 164; Three per Cents., 21 21f. (From The Sun of Saturday Evening.) Though but little has been done in the funds to day, the market has exhibited more firmness than it did yesterday. Consols are 92f for Money and 93 buyers for the A ccoun t. N ew Th ree -and-a -Half per Cents., 1008 1014. A slight decline has occurred in the value of Exchequer Bills in consequence of some sales of these bearing 21d. per diem, the premium being 50 52, those a t 2d. rema i n a t 49 51. Vansictions in Foreign Securities have also been limited, but an improvement is also visible here. Dutch Two •and-a-Half per Cents., have been sold at 51i 52 ; Belgian, 103; Danish, 84A-. There is no official quotation for Mexican Bonds. In the Share Market London and Birmingham have been sold at 183 ; South Western, 58 ; Brigh ton, 341; Eastern Counties, 8i; Blackwall, 64 ; South Eastern, Scrip, 11 f ; Midland Counties, 59+ ; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 471. Spanish Five per Cents, 16* 16+, and the'Three per Cents. 21*, are the only bonds quoted to-day. By a chance vessel there are later accounts from Monte Video. The intelligence is not of great com mercial importance, though trade had somewhat im proved, in consequence• of increased confidence being shown in the expectation that the war would speedily be terminated. As is usually the case, the information relative to Buenos Ayres is contradictory to that direct from the place itself, but it would appear, that further insurrections had broken out in the interior, against the power of Rosas. This individual is, it would seem, setting every one at defiance, and by his overbearing actions disgusting all parties. It was rumoured that some combinations had been entered into for the purpose of forcing him to resign, and which is not at all im probable. The great difficulty would be in the choice of a successor; and it may be doubted whether if left to themselves, internal war might not be car ried on more fiercely than it is at present. MANCHESTER.

PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY AFTERNOON. The Warspite, 50, Captain Lord John Hay, arrived at Spithead this afternoon, bringing home Lord Ash burton from his mission in America. His Lordship left the Warspite between two and three o'clock, and landed at Gosport, the ship saluting him when he left her, and the batteries upon his landing. The Warspite has been seventeen days from America, having left on the morning of the sth inst. She was becalmed two days, or would have made the run in fifteen days. Lord Ashburton upon his landing at Gosport, immediately proceeded to his residence at Anglesey, where Lady Ashburton has been waiting his arrival. WATER COMPANIES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—As you have inserted in y our va l ua bl e Paper the complaint of one " H ouse h o ld er " i n the district of St. John, L am b et h , aga i nst t h e imposition about to be inflicted on the inhabi tants, perhaps you will have the goodness to no tice this, for the benefit of those similarly situate. Your Correspondent complains of the extra charge of 4s. upon 245.; but what would he have done had he been served with a notice, as I have, and many of my neighbours, that we are to pay, after the 20th, 120 PER CENT. more, raising the charge from 11. 12s. to 31. 18s. !! and this for a ten-roomed private house. We have no remedy, as your Correspondent observes; the two Com panies having agreed together. Perhaps a little showing-up in your Paper would make this mo nopoly a little insecure, by the establishment of another Company; and I know, in that case, nine-tenths of the inhabitants would support them. ANOTHER HOUSEHOLDER. St. John's District, Lambeth, Sept. 23, 1842. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Pubtfc Optitton. " IT'ho runs may read." FOREIGN. The French Moniteur of Thursday announces that Baron Alexander de Humboldt had arrived at Eu, and that he was the bearer of an autograph letter of the King of Prussia, in reply to the notification of the death of the Duke of Orleans. Letters from San Sebastian of the 19th inst. state that a courier had arrived there from Madrid with orders to the Commander of the Artillery to collect all the muskets not in actual use, and other fire-arms, and ship them immediately for Cadiz. The Nervion brig of war, which was undergoing repairs, had like wise been directed to proceed to the same harbour. Similar orders were said to have been transmitted to the Commanders of the Artillery throughout the kingdom, and to nearly all the vessels of wa: of the Spanish navy. Our accounts from Madrid are of the 15th instaa t The Government had caused printed bills to be cir culated through the city, calling on the inhabitants and proprietors to make known to the authorities the amount of their voluntary contributions towards the 15,000,000 reals, for which the province of Madrid is set down, in the apportioning of the loan of 160,000,000 reels voted by the Cortes. No one had responded to the appeal, and it was believed that the Government would ultimately be obliged to have re course to a forced loan. The Madrid Gazette publishes a decree of the Regent suppres3ing the Universities of Onate and Vittoria, and uniting them to the University of Valla dolid, and establishing a secondary college at Onate. The Spanish Herald° quotes a letter from Gibraltar of the 6th inst., which states, that the American Com modore Morgan, who left on the 31st ult. for Tan gier with two ships-of-war, had suddenly returned to Gibraltar. The Governor having refused to give the required satisfaction, Commodore Morgan had written directly to the Emperor, and ordered a corvette to wait at Tangier for the answer to his letter. The words of the King of Prussia, on laying the foundation of the re-edification of Cologne Cathedral, are given by the papers :—" It is Germany which re constructs this steeple," said the Monarch. " May it be for the country the opening of a new and happy era. Let all wickedness and falsehood, all, in a word, that is not German, flee before it. May the efforts to divide Prince and People, and to set different religions and classes at variance, for ever fail. It was this dis cordant spirit which of old stopped the completion of this noble edifice, as well as the political edifice of Germany. May it be no more found amongst us." PIIIII.XC OPINION. We quote the following from the Herald, in re ference to the recent treaty between this country and the United States :—" We have recently seen the extradition treaty signed between Prussia and Russia. It was conceived for a time that Prussia would not sign that infamous bond, and shortly afterwards we learn that that which we conceived to be beyond the depth of the degradation of Prussia in face of the power of Russia is now perpetrated by England in face of the United States ! England has suffered her Magistrates and her officers to be branded as felons by the United States. By this treaty she converts her Magistrates and her officers into that which the United States have designated them. By this treaty she is bound to surrender Sir Allan Macnab and Captain Drew to be dealt with for piracy and arson, seeing that the Courts of the United States have judged such to be their crime." The Chronicle says For the maintenance of past additions to our population we have mainly been dependent on foreign demand for our manufactures; and as our population increases, so must we become more and more dependent on the foreign market, un less some new mode of profitably employing our people be discovered. The great difficulty with which the Government of this country has now to contend is, that of finding out a mode in which the vast num ber of mouths in the country may be filled. Until some increased means of employment be given to the people, it is idle to talk of other remedies. Want will ever be demoralising and irritating the masses, and impelling them into revolt against order and property." The Times has the following observations The produce of the work of a man's hands must, of course, be divided between himself and those who, by the possession of capital, or connexion, or land, or any similar advantage, are enabled to give him the oppor tunity of using his work with effect. The workman has his manual labour to dispose of; the millowner, the landlord, the farmer, the capitalist, the merchant, hold in their hands the conditions of making that manual labour profitable. Each is necessary to the other ; and there is such a thing of course—difficult to find perhaps, but still existent—as a fair division of the profits. That fair division the workman consi ders he has not secured. We do not speak' now of manufacturing more than of agricultural countries. In each, we fear, there is much of the same discon tent at work, though among the more keen and in structed mechanics it assumes a more definite and pronounced shape than with the unanalyzing plough man." The Post comments as follows on the question of the Stade Duties The facts with respect to the negotiation between Great Britain and Hanover are few and simple. The mode in which this part of the hereditary revenue of the King of Hanover has hitherto been collected having been found inconvenient to commerce, it was proposed, on the part of the British Government, to King Ernest to accept one uniform rate of toll, ad valorem, in lieu of the exist ing duties, which were different, and levied in a dif ferent manner, upon various articles. To the spirit of this proposal his Majesty acceded frankly and cor dially, and it would long ago have been carried into effect had not Lord Palmerston, losing sight of the original object, which was to simplify the duties, and render their collection less inconvenient, advanced a new pretension, not heard of for centuries, c a lli ng on the King of Hanover to surrender a large part of the Stade revenue, which had been enjoyed by a long succession of his predecessors on the Hanoverian Throne, and never until then questioned by any Eng lish Minister. The proposal of Lord Palmerston was deemed by the Hanoverian Government insolent as well as unjust; and it may be regarded as perfectly certain that no modification whatever of the Stade duties would have taken place so long as the nego tiation for that purpose had to be conducted by his Lordship." ip MONEY-TRADE-COMMERCE. The second meeting of the Commissioners relative to the Manchester Bank, took place on Friday in that town. Several proofs were admitted, and the meet ing adjourned for choice of assignees. The bank, it is said, has claims altogether to the amount of 180,000/. ; the debts due to the bankrupts are small. The mills at Manchester are entirely at work, with their full complement of hands: the number of the turn-outs is now so reduced that they cannot effect the least disturbance. The house of Ehlers and Feuerhaerd, at Ham burgh, which suspended payment in March last, have been declared bankrupts. The amount of their lia bilities is about- 70,0001., and the assets are stated to be 6001., barely sufficient to pay the costs of the commission. PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS. A new street is now in course of formation from the railway terminus at Brighton to North-street, and will, when completed in the course of a month, be one of the best in Brighton. ELECTIONEERING. It is stated that the Solicitor-General of Ireland has withdraWn from the contest of the Dublin College election. NAVAL AND MILITARY. A new light-house will be erected in the ensuing spring at Craighead, on the Moray Frith. It will be in the vicinity of Haliman's Scarrs, a set of dan gerous roeks on the coast. I.JLIXT AND POLICE. Francis Pasqual, a Spaniard, valet to the Hon. Edward Bouverie, staying at the Albany, Piccadilly, was charged at Marlborough-street, on Friday, with [ robbing his master of a very large quantity of pro , perty, consisting of plate, apparel, swords, &c., the whole of which he had pledged at a pawnbroker's in Wardour-street. Twenty-six duplicates were found on the prisoner, who acknowledged his guilt. He was committed to Newgate. LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC. A new journal, the first of its kind, has appeared at Alexandria; it is confined entirely to commercial and local news. The concert of the Worcester Musical Festival opened on "Wednesday evening with Haydn's Seasons. On Thursday morning Handers Judas Maccalmeus was produced entire, with accompaniments ; the choruses were finely sustained. The sum collected in the morning was 2221. 9s. 3d., the plates being held by several ladies of distinction. The third and last concert was to take place in the evening ; its chief feature being Schiller's Lay of the Bell. co u vex , -ril.
