It seems, by the article we copy from the Leeds Mercury on the tariff of the German League, that there has suddenly emanated from the Congress at Stuttgard, without any previous ratline discussion, and without any warning to, other States, a new schedule of duties. Reports bad certainly got into circulation that some alte ration in the duties ioimical to our interest were in contemplation; but the secret was so well kept, that in July last Sir R. PEEL had no in fl)rmation on the subject,and stated to the House of Commons that he had had some conversation with the Prussian Minister, who knew of no such designs. Now, however, we are assured by the Mercury, that the Congress has agreed to raise• the duties art mixed worsted and cotton goods from thirty to fifty dollars per cwt., an alteration which, it is said, will have an injurious effect on a number of articles manufactured in Yorkshire and Lancashire. Our industry, then, is assailed on all sides, and the patriotic efforts of our anti-manufacturers, who wish to have half our towns engulphed, and a stop put to the in crease of a manufacturing population, are well seconded by the commercial legislation of France, of the United States, and of Germany. If the Government, and the middle classes who con trol it, continuo to support our present policy) the desire of those who would like to drive a ploughshare over the site of Manchester, may 1 3 ' 2 ThalPs, ere long, be gratified. Of course we shall he stunned on this occasion, as on the Occasion of the alteration in the tariff of the United States, with declamation from the Tory journals against the ingratitude of other States, which repay our reductions o f duty on their commodities with an augmentation of duties on ours; and we shall again be told of the folly of expecting that other States will follow our example. Let us prepare to encounter this de clamation, by. reminding our readers that the incipal reductionS of our duties, that on timber, was of no importance to any other member of the League than . Prussia ; and that .admittino cittle, though useful perhaps to Holland, Bel gium, and Holstein, is of very little consequence to the Stases of the Zoll Verein. At the same time we levied a new duty_ on the coals Ger many imports from England. The Zoll Verein thereflire, very, little to be grateful fur, and will not, on that account, merit many reproaChes. But what is our example which the .Germans will probablybe' blamed for riot following? D oes not enr whole tariff proceed on the principle of Protecting native and colonial industry; and does not the 'Zola Ver e i n act on that principle ? The move or less, the 'thirty or fifty dollars, is a questioa of detail of which the Germans must judge. It only fhtlows our example in protect ing, as it is called, the manufactures of Germany, as En rand protects the growth of corn. In Eaglaral, be it remembered, this principle of protoction has been hotly assailed. It has been denounced as a trespass on honesty. It has been accused of inflict ing, •death on the people. Political econo mists have shown that it is destructive of pv..tional wealth, sensible men have proved that it overturns all nib - mar, and the ministers of re, ligion have demonstrated that it is shockingly irupious. Here it has been tried and tested by the public reason, and all that has been said against it has been wafted all over Europe. En joying more than any other nation of Europe the freedom of the press, and having attained to a greatness almost unexampled, the conduct of Great Britain has great moral influence over the rest of the world. She is reputed one of the wisest of nations. By the wisest statesmen of this wise nation, after the principle of protection had been assailed as we have described—in the teeth, too, of a great and powerful party—it was maintained and enforced. Not contented with preserving it throughout the tariff, Sir R. PEEL established for the first time a whole system of differential duties, thus informing every State of the world that it was his solemn practical con viction, and the conviction of our Legislature, after much discussion, that the principle of pro tection, that is, plundering by law, was the sure and certain means of promoting national great ness. On that principle so confirmed, the 'Loll Verein is acting, and by enhancing the duties on mixed woollen and cotton goods, it follows the example of Great Britain, and protects its native industry. W e might take the opportunity to taunt the Morning Post with the fickleness and caprice of the monarchial Zoli Verein, and to borrow from this secret proceeding a confirmation of our opinion that the manufacturers may rely more securely on a democracy than on a monarchy ; but when we see the best interests of our coun try, and, we believe, of mankind, endangered by commercial restrictions, we have no spirit for newspaper contention, though we fancy we could snatch a triumph. We pass rather to con sider how these attacks on our national prospe rity and greatness by a virulent faction at home, and by envious foreign nations, can best be re pelled. The faction can only be put down by the growth of sound knowledge, and no day now passes which does not teach the public, by im pressing on them painful facts, the folly and cruelty of this commercial nation cutting off sources of trade. We look to the progress of knowledge for a speedy triumph of the principles of free industry, and no sooner will they triumph at home than they will stifle folly abroad. It is obvious that the best and surest means of counteracting German, French, and American tariff's), is to set free the trade in corn, and to take off the duties on wool, cotton, and every other raw material which enters into manufactures, so as to enable our people to :produce articles desired abroad at the smallest cost. BONAPARTE, at the height of his power, could not keep Eng lish goods out of the Continent. FREDERICK THE GREAT, when he had nothing else to do with his armies, could not put down smuggling. The United States, Germany, and France, have all extensive frontiers; and if, by abolishing our own mischievous laws, we set our manufacturers en tirely free, we may rely on the smuggler spee dily redressing the wrongs which protecting tariffs inflict on the whole family of mankind A bold and a jut policy—but that our states men are not capable of, for they are unfortunately allied with foreign Governments in maintaining a kind of police against the people, and would rather aid them, we are afraid, in stifling trade than in setting it free in opposition to their ignorant decrees—a bold and a just policy would dictate the assembling of Parliament before Christmas, instantly to abolish the Corn-laws, and all the duties on raw materials ; to establish in earnest and effectually the great principle of freedom for industry, which would speedily compel every other nation to act on the same principle. Such a bold course, honest to our own people, and just to foreigners, we cannot anticipate ; and we must content ourselves, therefore, with having pointed it out as an effectual cure, operating both by its example and its direct effects, for those systems of mutual and revengeful damage which at pre sent statesmen in all countries seem bent on up holding. We observe with regret, from Mr. COBDEN'S and Mr. BRIGHT'S statements, at a meeting of the Anti-Corn-law League, held at Manchester on Thursday, that the prospect there is darker than ever : " We have been suffering," said Mr. Cobden, "now in the north of England six years. It is six years since that revulsion occurred, which has led to a de pression greater, of longer continuance, and of far more intensity, than has ever been witnessed by the oldest resident in this neighbourhood. But, bad as has been our condition before, at the end of these six years, our prospects are worse than they have been in any previous year.—(lle a r, h e ar.) It wou ld seem as if the American tariff that had just been passed was to be the last feather to break the camel's back. It found us almost in a prostrate condition, and it has utterly prostrated the energies of this district." Another feather has since been added, by the increase of duties in Germany, which, if possible, will add to the gloom and suffering at Manches ter. The League, however, seems resolved not to despair. It proposes to raise 50,0001., and we presume it will succeed; it is sending its tracts and its lecturers all through the country, and confidently expects that the Corn-law will, be fore long, be abolished. Both Mr. COBDEN and Mr. BRIGHT referred to gentlemen, Members of Parliament, who had voted for the Corn-law, and yet said they knew that it could not be long preserved. One of these gentlemen had the honesty to confess that he voted because his estates were mortgaged. "He said he believed that rents would be as high in tell years with the Corn-laws repealed as they were likely to be ten years hence with the Corn-laws in being; but for the first three or four years rents would go down; his own would fall below the amount of his mortgages, and he should be ruined." We have no doubt many other Members vote from similar motives; but would it not be more honest and more humane in them to vote the other way, and appeal to the Legislature to make a fair adjustment of such incumbrances? The Income-tax, by making them known to the tax-gatherer, may enable such gentlemen to get over their reluctance to made a confession, and induce them to advocate a plan by which justice may be done to them, to their creditors, and to the suffering people. It is horrid to think that the Corn-laws are to be maintained for a few months or years longer, to the ruin of our trade, and the starvation of many people, because a few landlords are in debt, while they themselves know that the law is unjust and cannot be long continued. If the League has many such con science-stricken supporters amongst the land owners. and we believe and hope it has, its spirited exertions will soon be crowned by success. COURT CIitCULAR. WINDSOR, SUNDAY. — The Queen and Prince Al bert, and the Royal suite, attended Divine Service this morning in St. George's Chapel Royal. The Rev. W. C. Knyvett performed the first part of the service, and the Hon. and Rev. Mr. Stopford and the Rev. Mr. Canning officiated at the altar, the latter gentleman preaching the sermon from part of the 13th verse of the 2d chapter of St. Paul's First Epistle to the Thessalonians—" When ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but, as it is in truth, the word of God." The Te Deurn and Jubilate were Dr. Boyce in C.; the Kyrie Elieson and Creed, Dr. Nares in F. The Anthem, " 0 God, who ha.st prepared" (Corfe). Dr. Elvey presided at the organ. Yesterday morning Prince Albert, attended by Sir E. Bowater, Colonel Arbuthnot, and the Hon. Cap tain Duncombe, enjoyed some hours shooting in the Great Park, and had excellent sport. Her Majesty and the Piince rode out in a pony phaeton, his Royal Highness driving, attended by a part of the suite in a pony phaeton and on horseback. On Friday F. Newingharn had the honour of sub m itti ng to his Royal H i g h ness Prince Albert, a finish e d d es i gn of a full-length portra i t o f his Royal Highness, of which the Prince was pleased to express his approbation. His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex has ar rived at the s ea t o f t h e E arl of Zetlan d i n Y or k s hi re , on a visit co hi s L or d s hi p. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester has arrived at Alnwick Castle, Northumberland, to honour the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland with a visit. His Serene Highness the Hereditary Prince of Mecklenburgh Strelitz visited Covent-garden Theatre on Saturday evening. The Prince afterwards left town for the residence o f t h e Duke and Duchess of Cambridge at Kew. Prince Esterhazy, the Austrian Ambassador, tran sacted business on Saturday at the Foreign -office. The Earl of Jersey, Master of the Horse, left his reidcnce, in Perkeley-square yesterday for Newmarket, THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 10, 1842. COVEN r-GARDEN THEATRE. Semirantide was performed on Saturday night to a crowded audience, and was eminently successful. The opera was followed .by a new farce, said to be written by Mr. Morton, and resembling, in some re -spects, a short piece, entitled A Wife for a Day, played someyear or two ago at the Haymarket. The language is common-place, and the few jokes at tempted are not of the highest order. The audience, however, were in good humour, and bestowed their applause with liberality upon the slightest provoca tion. The plot runs thus :—Squire Mulberry (Mr. Bartley), a jolly fox-hunting country gentleman, has a niece, who marries Captain Bantam (Mr. Walter Lacy). The captain is a duellist—an accomplishment which the Squire detests—and being engaged in an affair of honour soon after his marriage, Mrs. Bantam (Miss Cooper) endeavours to conceal the fact, by passing off her cousin, Doctor Lambkin (Mr. Harley), upon the old gentleman as her husband. Tlge Squire, who had never seen either of the gentle men, is delighted with his new relative—and the Doctor, who is really in love with the Squire's ward, Rose Maynard (Miss Lee), finds himself under the disagreeable necessity of sustaining the character which had been forced upon him. In the meantime the real Captain Bantam, having disposed of his duel by wounding his antagonist, resolves on paying a visit ineog. to his wife's uncle on his way back to town, and assumes the name of Cousin Lambkin. The Squire receives him as his ward's intended suitor, and the ' mistakes arising out of this double personation are very laughable. The Captain gets furiously jealous when he learns that another person has usurped his name and place, and the Doctor is equally enraged to find that there is another Richard in the field who is making love to his intended. At length the Captain and the cousin meet, a mutual explanation takes place, and they each agree to keep up the decep tion. The honest Squire perceives that there is some mystery which he cannot penetrate—passes himself as Captain Bantam to a strange gentle man, who is making particular inquiries for the Cap tain, and gets himself arrested for a breach of the peace, instead of the real delinquent. A general ex planation and reconciliation at length takes place, and all parties are made happy and comfortable, according to stage custom. Bartley played the old Squire ex cellently ; and Harley was quaint and humorous, in a part which afforded little scope for his talents. Mrs. Humby- had a little chambermaid part, which she did well. TRANSMISSION OF THE MAILS TO FRANCE. (TRANSLATION.) TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Boulogne sur Mer, 4th Oct. 1842. Mr. Eneron,—lt is the duty of the independent press in every country, whatever may be its political opinions to point out abuses, more especially when the public service is compromised by them. It is the best course for procuring their removal. At a time when the Governments of France and of England are endeavouring to improve the old and defective manner in which the service of the transmission of the corre spondence of the two countries is performed, it is ren dering assistance to the Post-office administration of both countries, which appear disposed to enter boldly on the career of improvement, to direct their attention to certain important facts which must make them ac knowledge the necessity which exists for re-organising this service on a new basis. I make, therefore, Sir, an appeal to your patriotism in requesting the inser tion in your journal of the following statement, of which I guarantee the accuracy. On the 27th September the English mail packet boat left Dover for Calais. The state of the sea off this latter port, and the want of water, prevented her from entering. She was forced to fall back upon Boulogne, into the harbour of which she entered, and landed her dispatches. On the 28th September another English mail packet boat left Dover for Calais, remained eight hours at sea, and after waiting an hour and a half in the Calais roadstead, in order to have water, entered that harbour at half-past four. It was then too late. All expectation of her arrival had been given up ; the estafette through Boulogne, after waiting an hour and a half in that city, had set off for Paris. All the letters and dispatches were thus delayed for twenty four hours. On the 29th and 30th of September the captains of these packets, alarmed at the consequences of their conduct, steered from Dover direct for Boulogne, and arrived in that harbour by ten o'clock in the morning. If, in conformity with the orders they had received, they had done this on the 27th and 28th, the delays complained of would not have occurred. It is sought to excuse them by alleging that the state of the sea was terrific—that there was a violent tempest at the time. But if such were the case, how were the packets from London, Ramsgate, and Dover, for Boulogne, enabled to cross the Straits, and with the tide against them ? On the 27th, 28th, 29th, and 30th, three packet-boats which left Dover arrived at Boulogne in three hours and a quarter, and three hours and a half. They went from Boulogne to Dover, notwithstanding a contrary wind, in three hours and a half, four hours, and four hours and a quarter respectively. Four packets from London made their respective passages to Boulogne in eleven hours and a half, thirteen hours, and thirteen hours and a quarter. They returned to London from Bou logne in thirteen hours and a quarter, sixteen hours, and thirty-five hours, including the time consumed in touching at Margate. The packet from Ramsgate made the passage, on the 27th, in four hours and a half, and returned on the 28th in five hours and a half. It is very true that the City of London packet, which left London on the 27th, at five o'clock in the morning, did not arrive at Calais until the 30th, at six o'clock in the evening, after having been tossed about at sea, or weatherbound in Ramsgate harbour, for three days and thirteen hours, with her fifteen miserable passengers. It is also true that the packet, the " Belfast," which left London on the 29th at six o'clock in the morning, with thirty passengers, did not arrive at Calais until six o'clock in the evening of the 30th, that is 36 hours after her departure. It is moreover true, that the packet, the " 'William Joliffe," which ought to have left Calais on the 29th, at six o'clock in the morning, did not take her departure until that hour on the 30th, and that the French mail packet, which ought to have left on the 29th with the mail, was unable to do so, and forwarded her dispatches by a fishing boat. But what dces this prove as to the tempest against the fact, that on the 27th and 28th, the packets be tween London, Dover, Ramsgate, and Boulogne, made their passages without delay ? It proves simply that the harbour of Calais, boasted Vas complete, and called the European harbour, in consequence of the state of the sea at its entrance, through want of a suffi ciency qf water, was four days closed and not approachable. This is a fact of which no one in the neighbouring ports is ignorant, and with which the English cap tains ought to have been acquainted; and what ren ders them still more culpable, in having compromised the public service as they have done is, that they have distinct orders to come to Boulogne when they are not certain of arriving at Calais beFore the departure of the estafette. _ _ _ The time has at length arrived when a stop must be put to those delays which have arisen in conse quence of permitting the English captains to exercise a discretion on the subject, and which have so fre quently given occasion to just and repeated com plaints. There never was a more striking proof of it than at present. We should profit by these occur rences to prevent a return of the evil by which the public service is continually compromised in a most scandalous manner. I have the honour to be, Mr. Editor, Your very humble and very obedient servant, The Mayor of Boulogne, AL. ADAM. COMMISSIONERSHIP OF CITY POLICE. Should Mr. D. W. Harvey accept the office of High Bailiff of the borough of Southwark, it is ex pected there will be a warm contest carried on for the vacated office of Commissioner of the City Police. The two principal candidates are Colonel Campbell and Captain Kincaid. Popular feeling seems to run strongly in favour of the Gallant Captain, whose highly meritorous military services, for a period of twenty-five years, are borne ample testimony to by the Duke of Wellington and some of our most dis tinguished Generals. Capt. Kincaid served throughout the whole of the Peninsula war, in that most redoubtable fighting corps ever nearest to the enemy, the Rifle Bri gade, in the first battalion of which for several years he discharged the arduous duties of Adjutant.. After having been wounded, and repeatedly distinguished by his intrepidity, Captain Kincaid closed his eventful military career on the sanguinary field of Waterloo, where his horse was killed under him, shot in five different places. Added to Captain Kincaid's high military testimonials are several of a civic character from the Sub-Committee of the Governors of Bride well _Hospital, who speak in terms of strong corn mndation of the very excellent manner in which he has discharged the duties of Superintendent-Keeper of the Prison for the last six years. As an author Captain K , incai hasd hav e b writtene enpublished, s n om l is hd thesome of h his best“ Randommilitary narrativ( s that Shots tof a Rifleman" and " Adventures" are well known. " Gentlemen of the Jury," said a Western lawyer, " would you set a rat-trap to catch a bar ? Would ycu make d-d fools of yourselves by endea vouring to spear a buffalo with a knitting-needle ? Or would you attempt to empty out the Mississippi with a gourd? No, gentlemen, I know you would not. Then how can you be guilty of the absurdity of finding my client guilty of manslaughter for taking the life of a woman i" -11/1, filled breeches-pocket seems to lain the best of all possible legislation. This feeling pervades every sentence of his Charge, and he recurs to it again and again, with a pertinacity and a solicitude that at length become quite ludi crous. As for knowledge, respectability, and so forth, forming a necessary portion of a legisla tor, Lord ABINGER lays not the slightest stress on these qualifications; property is what he chiefly looks for; he who has it is every way qualified to legislate; he who has, it not, is a dangerous member of society, who is not to be safely trusted with the slightest shred of power. The speech of Mr. FEATHERSTONHAUGH at Falmouth, given in another part of the paper, knocks down all those castles in the air, built on the faith that the Commissioners appointed to survey the disputed territory would come to the aid of the revilers of Lord ASHBURTON. In fact the treaty, according to this gentleman, who it cannot be denied is good authority, is more favourable than the public have been led to be lieve. The territory has been divided into equal moieties; it secures to us every object that was essential to the welfare ofour colonies; our com munication between them, both civil and mili tary, are placed beyond hostile reach ; and all the military positions in the Highlands, claimed by the Americans, without exception now belong to Great Britain. He disposes in a like sum mary manner of the loud talk about the exclu sive navigation of the St. John; but the different points are so well stated, and the defence of Lord ASHBURTON 'so complete, that we cannot do better than refer our readers to the speech itself. Accounts from Madrid are to the Ist inclusive. Financial measures occupied the Government beyond all ether subjects, which can cause no surprise. Empty pockets generally cause no little anxiety to their owners. The Gazette publishes the decree of the RE GENT, convoking the Corks for the 14th of No vember. It was believed that the session would be opened without a speech from the REGENT, in or&r to avoid a debate on the Address. The Amnesty Bill, drawn up by M. ZUMALA CARREGUI, the Minister of Justice, was found tOo liberal by his colleagues. The publication of that Act was accordingly adjourned. M. Zu- MALACARREGUI proposed to exclude only 25 per sons from the benefit of the measure. The Government contemplated to reduce the provincial militia by 25,000 men. The Five per Cents were done on the 30th ult. at 20j for cash, and 21+ at 60 days; and the Five per Cents. at 26j at 60 days. On the Ist the Three per Cents. sold for 20/ for cash, and the Five per Cents. at 25f fbr cash, and 261 26 25/ at 60 days. We have received the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday, which still dwell on the late ac counts from Africa, evidently with little satis- faction. - The Journal des Debats of Saturday informs us that the Algerine war may last three years more, which is not surprising, JUGURTHA and others having resisted the Romans much longer; and that, consequently, the 75,000 men de manded by General BUGEAUD must be granted him. Nevertheless, great results have been gained, according to the French journal, and the war, but lately at the gates of Algiers, has been displaced to fifty leagues distance from the coast. The mission of Sir HENRI( ELLIS to the Brazils has excited some attention in Paris. The Opposition journals contend that the ap proaching termination of the treaty between England and that empire presented to the French Government an opportunity for effecting an alliance with the latter, which would neces sarily produce important advantages to France, and inflict a heavy injury upon England. La Presse calls the attention of its readers to the efforts now making by the. British Govern ment to conclude commercial treaties with Austria and other German States. " This tactic," .it says, " merits the most serious attention. If we are to believe what is said, France is at this moment making arrangements to unite herself to Germany by an alliance based on the commercial interests of the two nations ; it becomes therefore necessary to inquire what is the true position of this country with respect to a Power whose influence has alWays been so fatal to us in the Germanic Confederation. It is, an evident fact that the movement which has been progressing for the last fifteen years throughout Germany is diametrically opposed to British in 7 tere4s. Politically, Great Britain strengthened bii . Self by the division of the Gernia►i people, the result of which was to prevent them coming to an understanding with Russia or with France, and thus oppose an obstacle to the alliance of the Continental Powers. Com mercially, the consequence of the tendency of Germany to unite her force and her in terests is naturally to withdraw that country from the yoke of the British manufac turers. As long as the German States were un acquainted with the mode of combining tile elements of their wealth, England took advan tage of their state of isolation. Thus she inun dated all Germany with her manufactures in exchange for agricultural produce, which she received in return from the southern provinces. The advantage which that part of Germany de rived from her trade with Great Britain became in some measure a source of ruin and of misery for the other German States, whose manufac tures were crushed by British competition. No doubt all the advantages of the German Union have not had time to be developed. Germany still presents a magnificent market for British produce, but everything proves that she is at the eve of emancipating herself completely." The Courrier Francais, in adverting to the in crease of the British navy, thus remarks : Although the relations between Great Britain and Russia are not on a friendly footing, and the British feeling towards France is not warm, we believe that Great Britain does not mean to threaten any foreign Power whatever. But such preparations, particularly when we compare with them the desire shown by Sir Robert Peel to arrange the differences with the United States, prove that the statesmen who govern the United Kingdom regard the future_ prospects of the country as gloomy, and that they do not wish to be surprised by coming events. This increase of the British navy is a formidable peace establishment, approaching very nearly to a state of war. The Tory Ministry, it is true, do not make use of the provoking language of Lord Palmerston, but they are - besieged by the same apprehensions,_ and imbued with the same conceptions. France ought not to cease to be on her guard because her adversaries, although not on terms of intimacy with her, observe a less hostile demeanour, or use less acrimonious language. At one o'clock on Friday, the various tenders for supplying the Post-office steam-packets with 38,000,000 kilogrammes of sea-coal were opened at the Council-chamber of the General Post-office, by M. PIRoN, Deputy Postmaster-General, when the first contract for delivering 13,600,000 kilo grammes of coal at the port of Marseilles, was adjudged to M. COHEN, at 3f. 49c. the quintal. The second, of 1,500,000 kilogrammes for Calais, to M. PEQUET DE BEAUREPAIRE, at 2f. 54c. the quintal; and the third, of 24,300,000 kilo grammes, for the five ports of the Levant, to M. .MACQUEUR CHAPEMANN, at the price of 883,300 f. The wheat crop of France in 1842 is esti mated, in a document just published by the Ministry of Commerce and Agriculture, at 85,988,432 hectolitres. The produce of this im portant article almost doubled during the last 30 years, and that of potatoes increased to fivefold during the same period. The Nile steamer (one of the finest vessels of the Egyptian cet) entered Marseilles on the 4th inst. ; she had on board eight splendid Ara bian horses, and several shawls of great value, which MEHEMET Am sent as presents to King Louts PHILIPPE and his family. ARTIN BEY, Secretary to the PACHA ; Dr. LABAT, who had completed his second historical tour through the East ; M. MOUCHELET, an engineer, in the ser vice of MEHEMET ALI ; M. JULES RoMAIN, a young Orientalist, and several other travellers, came passengers on board the Nile. The following interesting extract .is from the Gazette de France : France, whose coasts are bathed by four seas, to which Nature has given magnificent harbours, ivers accessible to large vessels, a coast of 1,600 kilometres from Dunkirk to Bayonne, and from Antibes to Port Vendres, which a century ago possessed Canada, Louisiania St. Domingo, and Guiana, in America, the Isle of France, and ladagascar, in Africa, and almost the whose coast of India, in Asia, has now de clined from this splendour, and holds only the fourth place among the Colonial Powers. It has not a port in the Indian Ocean. England enjoys the monopoly of steam navigation in the Red Sea. Martinique, which ought to be the entrepot of all the French com merce in the Gulf of Mexico, is going to ruin in our hands. The bay of Fort Royal, one of the finest naval stations in the Antilles, is neglected. The Isle of Bourbon is destitute. We are hardly beginning to form some plan relative to Guiana, the lands in which are as good as those in Demerara; and Surinam, which sends in cotton that is often sold in our market at the same price as that of Pernambuco, which, in short, only wants encouragement and security, to give us the monopoly of the spice trade. Those modern nations which have been led by ne cessity or carelessness to neglect this powerful re source, have generally paid the penalty for so doing. What has Portugal become 7 Spain vs as effaced from the list of naval powers on the day that she lost her possessions in America and Asia, where she suffered herself to be stripped of her equatorial empire. On the other hand, look at England, the most complete manufacturer of the development of colonial power. How has she suffered for her indefatigable ardour ? She obtained the maritime and colonial sceptre of the world. Her manufactures have increased in propor tion to her conquests and her commerce. She has bound nations to her by the most solid ties—those of interest ; and her power has become, as it were, so necessary (se fatal), that it cannot be destroyed with out convulsing the universe.—La Gazette de France, I Oct. 8. *tronlll2bition SUN OFFICE Three o'Clock. The accounts that reach this country from China, India, and almost every part of the habit able globe, in such rapid succession, cannot fail to strike the most careless observer with wonder at the vast extent of her dominions, and the activity and energy of her people. The rank which she holds at the present moment among the nations of the Earth, has no parallel in the history of mankind. She has established colo nies and independent States, some of which are larger than the Roman empire was at the zenith of its power, her ships traverse every ocean, and her sons are found in every clime. No country ever equalled her in trade, commerce, or coloni zation, nor in gigantic undertakings commenced with such slender 'neaps. The rapid increase of her power is not less remarkable than its extent. But two hundred years ago a few English mer chants established themselves on a small spot in India, and that spot has increased to a mighty empire. A little band of freemen fled from the despotic rule and unjust exactions of an English Sovereign, settled in the new world, carrying with them the free spirit, the habits, the arts, and the religion of their country, and their suc cessors now rank with the most powerful States of Europe. Another colony of equal size, and endued with the same love of liberty, and the same ardent desire for improvement, is increasing daily in strength, and in process of time will become a powerful rival to its independent ,neighbour. From the Falkland Islands at the utmost verge of the Southern hemisphere to the Polar Sea, she has possessions on the Continent and islands almost without number, inhabited by people speaking our language, cultivating the same arts, and imitating the mother country in trade, commerce, and all those acquirements and pursuits which distinguish a civilized race from barbarians. In the East, England has under her sway 100 millions of inhabitants, and while these rest satisfied with her rule, is carrying on war with a hardy and powerful people one thou sand miles distant from the seat of Government; and at some 5,000 miles distance on the other side of the vast continent of Asia a handful of British soldiers is attacking successfully an ancient em pire, containing countless millions of inhabitants. It is a singular fact, too, that these possessions, with a few exceptions, were obtained less by war and conquest than by the arts of peace. Unlike Rome, " when she laid a country waste, and called desolation peace," England began by peopling deserts, by assisting and protecting her offspring till it grew to manhood, or by civilizing barbarians, teaching them habits ofindustry, ruling them generally by mild and equitable laws, and attaching them to herself rather by voluntary bonds than by the violent and rude hand of a conqueror. No country ever exhibited such a rapid increase of power and wealth, and in the development of her resources, one circumstance gives rise to noble and cheering reflections, honourable to the spirit of liberty and to the thirst after free inquiry which distinguished the beginning of the seventeenth century.' From that period to the present the progress of arts, commerce, and civilization, has been gradual and sure. Then the English territory appeared on the map not bigger than a man's hand. Now it is spread over the world, not from any settled plan, not from a regular system of aggression like that pursued by the Romans, but by the natural course of events. The genius of our Con stitution, the hatred of the people to slavery, and their attachment to free institutions, must have had no small influence in producing results of such magnitude. The nations of the earth cannot fail to respect a country which in one day emancipated 800,000 slaves, at an expense exceeding the personal revenues of mighty Sovereigns, and which, by a magnanimous reso lution, declared that every human being, of what ever nation, or creed,or by whatever ties lie may be bound, becomes a freeman on touching the sacred soil of England. It is an instructive fact, too, the period to which we refer, shesustained one memorable defeat, and a r , sons, who rose as one man i n tt f t . r l i o a t m u ei r . i t o only,g defence of that liberty and self-government for which one English sovereign was sacrificed on the scaf f old, and h is race for ever banished from thte a beencountry. rate during But ma r k e d as th e c h ange h a S the last cent ur y', it i s st ill go i ng on a n.

Lord ABINGER, who was once a Whig, then a Tory, and now bids fair to settle down into a who spent the best years confirmednfslifei in advocatingltra-l'or3; , the Freedom of the Press, and afterwards, in his capacity of Attorney- General to the WELLINGTON Administration, did allstrangle that Freedom, multiply ing prosecutions to such a degree that ex - offic i o couldoffieo to even his own party began to take the alarm and discountenance his proceedings—Lord ABINGER, who, like Sir JAMES GRAHAM, has boxed the political compass, t delivered to Charge alCsot on the opening of the C Commission, in which much of t o l n i l e 'c i s n 'ib t 'il o r' l ue e r r ; a dri n ae t yc s i la pirit that might be expected from such a man, is apparent—so apparent, indeed, that none can fail to perceive it at the very first , glance. instead of confining himself, as Lord. Chief Justice TINDAL did, to the law of the; case, the Learned Judge went out of his! way to discuss the character and principles of Chartism ; and this not in a calm, equable tone, but in the earnest spirit of a party poli tician. " What)" he asked indignantly, "is the object of the Charter, which these men are seeking?? Annual Parliaments, Universal Suf frage, and Vote by Ballot! Yet, gentlemen, you will find by the evidence which will be produced before you, that it has been incul cated on many misguided persons that the sovereign remedy for all abuses, and the only means of putting themselves in pos session of such a share of power as would enable them to vindicate their own, rights, and secure themselves against oppression, is by the enactment of what they call the People's Charter?" Now we contend that in hazarding these remark, Lord ABINGER was travelling beyond the mark. Like the cobbler, he should have stuck to his last. It was not expected from him that he sho u ld enter into a p oli t ical disqui sition upon Chartism. of the b u t that, in his capacity of Judge, he should restri ct himself to an ex positionlaw-what business had he with the points of the Charter ? Where was the imperative necessity that com pelled him to launch his anathemas against Uni versal Suffrage and Annu al Parliaments? He wasdneolti delivering i a s l speanrfti ts o }a not rtisan, but Judge. He was the Tory side of the House of Lords, b ut from the sacred Bench of Justice. By far the greater portion of the Learned Judge's c harge is taken up with a denunciation of Chartism ; while the riotous meetings, which were the occasion Of that Charge, are disposed of in a very summary, off-hand manner. We are told, indeed, that such Meetings are illegal, and " should be punished with the utmost rigour of the law ;" but that js about the extent of information we obtain on the subject, so eager is Lord ABINGER to record at full-length his hostility to Chartism, and to point out—what he conceives to be—the injurious working of the democratic principle in the United States. His Lordship's great horror seems to be, that persons of property legislated ` for by -spasong should he no property. The legislation of the well- BOURSE-PARIS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 8.

The determination of the Directors of the Bank of Manchester to bring this concern to a conclusion, which has so pre-eminently occupied public attention, has given much satisfaction. The loss sustained from over advances will not, it is estimated, be much below 900,000/. • and a list of bad debts has been published, at the head of which is one sum of 170,0001., the second 120,0001., and going gradually down to 12,0001. ; all below this last being considered as too trivial for special notice. In addition to these, the liabilities have been greatly increased by the conduct of the manag ing Director, endorsing bills to an unknown amount, and applying the sums obtained upon the credit 'of the bank to his own use. Besides, they have a large claim upon a private establishment in Wales, over which much uncertainty exists, so that all these being combined, it may be doubted if the total capital sunk will be far below a million sterling.
