Ott 2ult. LONDON: TUESDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER 20, 1842. The journals in the manufacturing districts best info • rnied as to our trade, such as the Leeds m ercur y, describe the new tariff of the United States as calculated to inflict serious injury on our woollen and cotton manufactures. The duty on woollens (says that journal) is raised from 29 per cent. to 40 per cent., and that on worsted stuffs from 20 per cent. to 30 per cent., with the fur ther addition caused bY including the commission in the valuation ofoods. W e fear the increase of duty g will eventually much diminish our United States, and itour exports of woollen cloths and k erse y me res . to• the must act unfavourably on the trade_ i i_ . n worsted stuffs, . and all other Woollen and Mixed g°°'• The Cotton trade will, however, be more seriously . affccted than the Woollen, though the duty does not appear to be so high. Cottons are nominally .ere are subject to -ati an. valorem duty of . 30 per cent., but there regulations nixing valuation upon many kinds an ar b itrary kinds of goods, w hi ch prevent the nominal duty from being any indic a ti on of the real duty. Prints, mole skins, velvets, and bl eached goods, all pay enormously —moleskins from boo to 200 per cent. ad valorem. On some prints of the value of 4d. a yard, the duty oamounts per , cent 9 cents, or 41d. a yard—making upwards f 100. That represents rather the ultimate than the immediate effect, which is somewhat different. For some months (says the Mercury) trade has been t paralyzed by the uncertainty th a t h ung Over both h fiscal system and the financial state o f America a d e anything that removes that uncertainty would be felt as a relief. Many of the accounts received in En g land, therefore, are highly favourable a s t o the fall trade. Some considerable orders for goods have been received,:and w agreeable impulse will be felt by oar merchantt. But, on the other hand, we know m er , ichmti who have received letters by this mail from vveli-inforzned correspondents in New York, regret ting that woollen goods which they had ordered had gone out, and that - it is too late to countermand them. 'The abiding effect of the new tariff must be very un favourable to the commerce of this country. We learn from the Liverpool Albion that the shipping interest at Liverpool is at present in a state of great suffering, and full of complaint. At the same time that journal gives this ome- Nv!.at Melancholy description of the American trade of Liverpool : The whole quantity of manufactured goods sent from this port to the United States, by all the 4hipping houses together, in a given period this year, lines not equal the quantity sent by a single first-rate s hipping house in a similar period, but one of pros perity; In this state of things, what are called tran sient snips get no freight, while even the packet-ships get little or none. The large and splendid packet -ship Roscius, which sailed on Thursday for New York, had considerably under 1001. of freight ; the smallest sum, indeed, with one exception, since the liners were established in the year 1818. Up to this time, the passage-money received from emigrants enabled the ships to pay the expenses of their voyages, but, the season for emigrating being nearly over, even that source of revenue is fast failing. The uncertainty which has so long prevailed on the subject of the tariff may have had the effect of dimi nishing shipments to the United States ; but the re moval of that uncertainty, by the actual passing of a tariff unfavourable to English mEnufactures as com pared with the last, will not, it is feared, increase ship ments thither. On the contrary, while the increase of the duties on English goods must discourage their export, the necessity of paying the duties in cash on import will, it is believed by the best informed mer chants, deter parties from consigning goods to the American market. Goods will, however, if they are wanted, find their way, directly or indirectly, into the United States. We read also that a great number of emi grants from England to the United States have returned to their native country, to swell the amount of those who arc seeking here, in vain, for employment. Willing as we are to hope the best, and ready as we have been to speak and thi2k as favourably as possible of Sir R. PEEL'S measures, these facts do not betoken the coming of that prosperity which the nation expected from his wisdom. Let it not for one moment be thought or said that he is not to blame for the American tariff. That measure was passed by the smallest possible majorities; and, without doubt, had our Corn-law been repealed, larger majori ties would have been on the other side. A free trade in raw produce with England would have procured a tariff favourable to us, or it would have split the Union asunder. Had Sir R. PEEL displayed half the sagacity, and demonstrated half the respect for justice and honesty in dealing With our own people that he has displayed in dealing with the Government of the United States, he would have been rewarded by a very different tariff, and by seeing prosperity through out the manufacturing districts, where there is now nothing but decay and complaint. As for the shipping interest and the merchants of Liverpool, from their support of the Tory inte rest and restrictions on trade, and from their fatal indifference to the struggles of their Man chester brethren to procure the abolition of the Corn-laws, they seem to us to deserve nothing better than distress and decay. The majority of them have contributed to deny freedom of trade to the prayers of their suffering countrymen, and if the calamities which they have contributed to bring on others are now reflected on themselves, it will be a just retribution. Nor can we con clude, when we reflect on the wealth and power of the manufacturing districts, on the smal l number of the mighty host of merchants and ma, nufacturers interested in trade who were mem bers of the Anti-Corn-law League, and on the feeble support that excellent body received from the leading men of the manufacturing districts—that the manufacturers are them selves blameless for the injury and ruin which threaten them. Had they displayed half the energy in resisting the spoilation of their property, and the property of their indus trious and skilful workmen, by the law-making landlords, which they have of late displayed, and justly and properly displayed, in defending that property against the spoilation of the Turn outs, they would not have had to deplore a stinted trade and an infuriated populace. We make such remarks much more in sorrow than in anger, much more in a spirit of deep regret than reproach, but we :cannot in justice censure the Minister and spare the people. In this country public opinion is more powerful than statesmen ; and when the public councils are for a long period misdirected on any great question, the electoral body is more to blame than the Ministers. Above all, when honesty and justice are openly trampled under foot by a class legislature, and the public acquiesce in the gross outrage, the public is the party chiefly in fault, and on it will, must, and does fall the suffer ing, the vexation, the decay, and the retribution. Mr. GREG, at the conclusion of his letter on farming in the Lothians, which we noticed yes terday, ascribes the superiority of the Scotch far mers to their superior education. "I am inclined to think," he says, "the superior and more practical education of the Scotch has been at the bottom of the improved state of things. Edu cation has given the knowledge which has enabled them to apply their capital with success, and to ex tract from the landowner the long lease which enables them to invest their capital with safety as well as success." Considering the improvement of agriculture to be of vital importance to the well-being of the community, opinions relative to whatimpedes or promotes its success ought not to be lightly hazarded, and it is only, therefore, after some reflection, that we venture to differ from Mr. GREG. If education were a source of the supe riority of the Scotch farmers, as the same sort of education is accessible to all classes in Scotland,it should produce as marked a superiority in the other classes as in the farmers ; but though the Scotch make excellent merchants, doctors, manufacturers, &c., &c., they cannot boast of such an undisputed superiority for these classes as for the farmers. Moreover, it should be remembered that the country gentlemen and noblemen of England are farmers, and their education is equal to that of the Scotch. Fur ther, we must remind Mr. GREG that the Scotch have possessed their superior education for two centuries, while their agricultural improvements are of a much more modern date. Down to a comparatively recent period they were behind the English, from whom they borrowed much of the art. Their superiority is of very modern origin indeed. Besides, the art of agriculture can only be effectually learned in the fields, and no scholastic or book education can make men farmers. We dissent, therefore, from Mr. GREG'S opinion, that the superiority of the Scotch farmers is due to their education, and would request him, as it is of importance to the subsistence of the community that no mistake be committed on this point, to re-examine his opinion with some care. Admitting that the education are of the Scot c h may have some influ ence , we to think, that the banking system of had more. Our impressio n , too, is, that the tenant-at-will system—the immediate offspring le Scotland inclined in England of feudal servitude —neve r took such complete hold of Scotland as of England. Pay ments in kind were continued to a later period in the former than in the latter country ; and when they were abolished, the advantages of leases being pretty well known to all parties, they were generally adopted. Add to these circumstances, that till the year 1834, tithes were not commuted in England, and that in the bulk of the parishes, the crops could not be carried till the tithe owner had taken his allotted share ; and it seems to us that more stringent causes for the back ward state of English agriculture will be found in our laws and institutions, than in any defect in the education of the agricultural classes. Remembering the immense advances which England has made in manufacturing skill, the question is much larger than it has been stated by Mr. GREG. The comparison of the back wardness of the agriculture of Lancashire and Cheshire and the Lothians, is only a particular instance of a more general truth. We require to know why the farmers of England should be not o nly behind their brethren in Scotland, but achy they should be so much behind their breth ren i n the towns o f England, that they can noto live, as is said, unless they be allowed to tax suc cessfully .her Peopl e - world, English fd and while the manufacturers suc the competition with, and even surpass, all the destitute of tools. lire destitute should o f rulers must be protected against o o f f ro t a n d e s, A a m nd eri t eln backwoods man,poiisser6atllimisoesntWhy, of all men in the farmers be so deficient in energy, that they seem not to belong to the same conquering, domineerinc, race, as the rest of the community, a n d always ready to sink, without la the help of an unjust w,under the few diffi culties of their positi on ? T That is th e larg e in quiry which Corn- la ws and ag riculturein other countries countries suggest, and which Mr. GREG , who has seen only a small part of it, has not satisfied. As the inferiority of the English to the Scotch farmers is traced to our laws and instituti • • - ons, so e f 0.11 • 4, 41\ qc ' • 4,1 - • 4. . 7,„ ono, ",„• THE SUN, LONDON, TU} SDAV MORNING, SEPTEMBER 20, 1842. must, we apprehend, their inferiority to the rest of their countrymen be - referred to a similar origin. The notion of a.tenant-at-will is that of a dependant man, half a slave. The bulk of the farmers of England are tenants-at-will and half slaves. From the more ancient times—and the fact seems not now to be altered—to escape from the country and to find a refuge iu towns, was to be emancipated from the thraldom of the land lords. In the towns a man takes part in electing the Magistrates, or they are appointed by the Crown ; in the country the Magistrates are those very landlords whose tenants-at-will the farmers are. In Scotland the squires or landlords do not administer law as well as let land, and the farmer there has, in the Sheriff or his Depute, a means of defence against the squire, which every farmer in England wants. Down to a certain period in our history, and probably in the history of all Europe, the clergy being the direct heirs of the knowledge of anti quity, both instructed and, to some extent, de fended the working agriculturist against the squire. - They did not need the aid of the law to make good their tights and their claims; they had an inherent power, which they directed against the landlords ; but xvben the rest of the community came to gather as much knowledge as the clergy, when for the purposes of this life the vulgar had far surpassed their teachers, and those teachers had to look to the law ex elusively for the defence of their property, the clergy of necessity made common cause with the squire, and both formed a league against the farmer and labourer. In England, owing to the great wealth of the Church, the pastoral office is filled, as the rule, by the children of the gentry; and the clergy have thus strong class, as well as professional, motives for siding with the gentry against the farmers. In Scotland, the ministers are the children of farmers, schoolmasters, and ministers ; and if they have to look to landlords as patrons, they invariably cherish sympathies with the class from which they spring. Hence in Scotland the farmers have, in an independent magistracy and in a clergy not allied with the squires, two elements of independence; and so have the townspeople of England, which the farmers of England want. By the union of the powers of the magistracy with the ownership of land, and the league be tween the landlords and the priests, there is realised in the agricultural districts of England a complete and irresponsible tyranny, which subdues, heart and soul, all who are under it. The independent yeomen - of England are, in truth and fact, little better than mental slaves. Hence their inferiority, till they emancipate them selves by a residence in towns. To causes like these do we ascribe that general want of energy in our farmers, of which the superiority of the Scotch is a sign. Whoever has passed any time in our agri cultural districts must know that between covenants or customs, jealously enforced by th e squire or his steward between payments of rates and payments of wages—between the meddling control :of the priest and the squire, the farmer is a poor, dependent, worried man, who has no mind or thought for anything, but how to pay his rent, and keep on quiet terms with his masters. No education could, we believe, make them .better farmers till they become more independent men. How in dependence is to be conferred on them we will not now inquire ; but we are sure that the Corn laws, which always make them promise a larger rent than they can pay, and which place them at the mercy of the landlords, is one of the main causes of their inferiority to the rest of their countrymen. The clerical bigots of Dublin are making a somewhat ludicrous tool of the Protestant Opera tires' Association. That very learned and de liberative body are made to publish an address of several columns to the members of the Uni versity, to guide them in the selection of a can didate to represent the " Silent Sister" in Par liament. This, as SAM WELLER would say, is 4 6 coming it rayther strong ;" but the Dublin Operatives are not the boys to stick at trifles. Apmed with the Homilies, the Thirty-nine Articles, and headed by the Rev. Mr. GREGG, they give the Roman Catholics such a slashing, by way of setting the University an example of the right way to go to work with Popery, as must astonish the oldest heads in Trinity Col lege. Having drubbed the POPE to their heart's content, and all who do not verily and indeed believe him to he ANTI-CHRIST, they put the following pretty stein g of pithy queries to the members of the University : "First—Shall isolators continue to desecrate the proceedings of our Legislature—to concentrate the forces of infidelity against the Church of Christ—to raise the loud laugh against every appeal to the Word of God--to render it impossible but that the State should pander to their feelings in every ecclesiastical appoint ment ? " Secondly—Shall the national money be disbursed to maintain an institution which not only inculcates idolatry, but rears up men to be its propagators ? " Thirdly—Shall men be pensioned as Chaplains in the Army and Navy, in the gaols and workhouses, to perform a 'worship offensive to God Almighty—to destroy the souls which, as a Christian State, we should labour to save ? "Fourthly—Shall the National Board of Educa tion in Ireland—shall the Committee of Privy Council of Education in England, say to the teachers of the youth of the nation, Ye shall neither expose nor de nounce idolatry—ye shall suffer it to be inculcated in the minds of those who are deluded by it. "Fifthly—Shall the seat of justice be polluted by men who arc idolators—who hold it as an obligation paramount to every other to further the interests and fulfil the will 'of their church—and who believe that to do this is righteousness ? " Sixthly—Shall zeal for the truth of God continue to be a disparagement in' this Christian nation ? shall the Protestant operative or tradesman who is rejected by the population because of his love of truth, and to Britain, the land of truth, and of his desire to raise up his own country to that noble condition which truth alone can confer—shall his principles find no preference in our Protestant State—shall he be left by that Stat 3 to pine when its honours and its rewards are conferred upon the enemy ?" It is expected, of course, that answers to each and all of these questions will be duly returned, signed by the Provost in the name and on behalf of the University. The range .is somewhat dis cursive, but the graduates of the hod and the hammer are not remarkable for a strict appli cation of the rules of school logic. One slight difficulty was overlooked by the Associated Operatives in preparing these questions, and that was to ascertain whether the members them i he t t e o r f ththaenth m 'University seir e 3 could is answerrath rather r e . It too much too expect the eradication of the reli gion of seven minions of people from the zeal of the heads of a College and a society of operatives, with funds to no more than the modest amount of twenty shillings and ninepence, including fifteen shillings and sixpence magnanimously subscribed by the Protestant Operatives of South.. wark ; but it is something to make the attempt, something to revile and exasperate them, and make them feel as uncomfortable as possible. • As regards the University election, about which the Protestant " boys" of Dublin are so anxious, the Evening Mail says that the result of Mr. HAMILTON'S canvass, assured to him in writing, —presents a most decisive majority of the whole of the electors. Even the Irish Govern ment, then, is not enough to cope with the bigots of the Dublin University. Mr. HA MILTON is pledged to oppose the Education grant and the grant for Maynooth, and hence his popu larity in the Irish seat of learning. But it will not do. The. neck of the old Tory party is broken, and broken, too, by that darling of the Irish Orangemen, Sir It. PEEL. We publish in another• part of The Sun highly important news from the Cape of Good Hope, respecting the hostilities at Port Natal. Captain SMITH'S division was relieved by a British force, after his camp had been a month surrounded by the Boors, and his men were compelled to feed upon horseflesh. The Boors fled inland, and were attacked by the savage Caffres, by wham, it is to be feared, this thriving and industrious colony of Dutch settlers will be extirpated. Wo think th e En. : 4lish Government -rend blame for its conduct with regard to thus&' iio,ir emigrants. The details will be read with interest. The mission of Lord ASHBURTON to the United States embraced a variety of topics, the most important of which, beyond all doubt, was the settlement the Boundary. line. No progress whatever hactbeen made for half a century in the negotiations respecting this disputed question ; the adjustment was every day becoming more difficult from-the increasing value of the land on the banks of the St. John river, and its tribu tary streams, and unless concessions had been made on both sides, the affair would in all pro bability have been left to that most dan gerous and capricious of all arbitrators — the sword. A compromise, therefore, was infinitely . preferable, if that could be made without loss of honour, and prejudice to the great object the British Government had in view, a convenient and secure road from Nova Scotia to Quebec. Though we should on this account chiefly have preferred the old line claimed by England, as affording a more direct and perhaps more convenient communication be tween the Colonies, it must be borne in mind that, without going to law or going to war, the parties to disputed questions cannot get all they want ; and that iwnine cases out of ten a refer ence to a disinterested arbitrator is found not only the cheapest but the most friendly *ay of settling the misunderstand ing. This plan was adopted ; the question was referred to the late King of HOLLAND, and the line now agreed to, he will be rejoiced to hear, is nearly that fixed by his MAJESTY. It is, in fact, a conventional line, as it was found impossible to give a decision in any other way which should he in conformity with the words of the Treaty of 1783, and the features of the coun try as understood at that period ; and in justice to Lord ASHBURTON, it is necessary to remind those who impugn his conduct, that, with a slight exception, the Government of Lord GREY, in 1831, was willing to accept this conventional line. The new boundary, therefore, runs nearly half way between the lines claimed by the respective countries, and at the point nearest Canada, may be twenty-five miles from the St. Lawrence, but this is only for a short distance, all the re maining portion of it running towards the north west, being from forty to eighty miles distant from that river. We shall thus have a secure road to Quebec, and though not the shortest we could desire, it is satisfactory to know that the arrangement has been made in an amicable man ner, and has settled a troublesome question, which, if it had remained open for a few years, would to a certainty have involved two kindred and powerful nations in a bloody war. Great blame also is attached to Lord ASHBURTON for allowing the Americans to navigate the St. John through the • British territory to the sea. This objection certainly comes with a bad grace, when it is known that one of the great principles which this country has maintained is, that these vast rivers are highways for all nations, and that the Government of Great Britain has so stre nuously urged this point on the King of HOL LAND in reference to the Rhine. Do the persons, too, who urge this objection forget that two na tions are benefited by mutual intercourse, and that granting this right to the Americans will increase the trade and commerce of St. John and the other tow n s along the Bay of Fundy? The other questions, to o , have been settled in a way which throws no discredit on the British Minis ter. It is of some importance to bind the Ame ricans for a term of years to keep a large force on the African coast for the suppression of the slave trade ; and a treaty for delivering up cri minals has always been anxiously desired by the commercial people of England. As regards the affair of the Creole, Lord ASHBURTON said he could make no stipulations whatever on that subject ; and he expressed deep regret that any necessity should have made necessary the invasion of the American territory by the capture and destruction of the Caroline. Some of the American writers call this an apo logy, while his Lordship in the same paragraph states that the British authorities were com pelled, by the necessity of self-defence, to have recourse to such a severe reprisal. It is that sort of apology which a father makes to a son after using the rod of correction, and is expressed in I regret exceedi ng ly that I words like these :—" have been compelled to punish you, but your own bad conduct has brought you into trouble, and I hope you will behave better for the future." There is still a dearth of news in the French journals—for there is nothing novel in the abuse of England by the Republican Press. With the National, however, this is a standing topic—an inexhaustible mine available in all emergencies of the Press. The Phararnond, which left Algiers on the 10th, arrived at 'Marseilles at eleven at night on the 12th. Troops had been embarked at Algiers for Cherchell, they are to second the movements of General Chan gamier, who is gone towards F enez , t o c h as tise the tribe of Beni-Menasse.

COMNIENCEIvr EN - T DAy.—The Atnerican papers re ceived by the Britannia steamer, state that this imposing ceremony at N ew Brunswick, N.J.' took place on 1 , the 27th ult. ' -he May•ol' seal Town Council, together with the heads of Itut y e;s College, the s e vera l classes of students, and the gfeater portion of the higher and middling classes of inhabitants, amounting to near three thousand, went in the usual procession to the Dutch Reformed Church, when the labours of the day com menced. After file degrees h a d been conferred, an oration on the Character of Wilberforce, together with the valedictory, „. as pronounced by James Chipchase (on whom the " first-honour" was conferred), of Rose Hall, New Jersey, and the exercises closed with the Benedict by „ P resident Carnahan, of t he Colle g e of New Jersey. 12 " Noe York American observes of the oration :—" It w at , one o f the most tasteful and elegant performances of the kind to which we have ever listened on kindred occasions. Elegantly written, imbued with a sweet and lofty spirit, and chastely delivered, and pro nounced the best of kind ever delivered on speech the that stage." THE SHIPP IxG TNTEREST. —We hear loud .com plaints of the depression which this interest, in common with the other . 0 ~reat interests connecte d w ith trade, is now suffering, Prelo:h•te from foreign ports, besides being scarce, are lower than they have ever been known before ; white, at home, freights are not only low, but cargoes with difficult made U. So scarce, indeed, is employment fur sh' Y • pp i x e ven at rates which will scarcely . pay freightl';nidn'Charges, the number of ships laid up in LiVerp eo l a k in , i s beyond all past experience. In most of the docks there are unemployed vessels and vessels on sale ; bt.t the Brunswick Dock, large as it is, has, if not two-thirds, certa inly more than half of it s space OCCUphild by ships of large tonna g e with br ooms, the sign of being on safe, a t their mast - heads. The west side is wholly fill ed with' tiers of vessels on sale, and on the adjoining quay all traffic has ceased. We have heard it mentioned, th a t one firm alo ne has f rom ten to twelve thousand - tons of shipping thus laid up , --Liverpool Albion, •Ft Aq u 4 :5i,;1,1 AND VI tc Opinton. " Who runs may read.' :~ G_)r E3~r~ri, We find it stated in Galignani s Messenger that M. Dubost, one of the heads of the French Post-office, left Paris on Thursday for London. This gentleman is charged by the Government to negotiate a new Post-office treaty on a much larger and more liberal basis than the existinc , one. The arrangements con templated in M. Dubost's mission extend also, we un derstand, to the more rapid transmission of the Indian mail from Marseilles and to the putting an end to the vexatious delays and difficulties which the couriers of the London Pr - ess have hitherto experienced in carry ing their despatches through France. The Courrier Francais, on the contrary, announces that Lord Lowther had visited Paris for the purpose of making new arrangements for the conveyance of the Indian mail, which was no longer to proceed through France after the expiration of the convention signed by the Post-offices of the two countries. " The mails," it says, " will hereafter be landed at Venice or Trieste. This will be highly prejudicial to our country, and by no means advantageous to the Eng lish ; but, although the distance be longer by that road than through France, their correspondence will follow it in preference, in order to avoid the delays and vexations of every description which their couriers have experienced in France. Such is the result of the impediments opposed to commercial and political re lations by a narrow-minded and teasing Adminis tration." The Commerce has the following :—" A Belgian journal of high Conservative principles gives a letter from Paris, in which the following passage occurs : It is generally believed that M.. Thiers will proceed to the end with his new plans. He saw that the death of the Duke of Orleans put an end to the course of policy of which he hoped to be the repre sentative, and he suddenly returned to his ideas of 1834. A war policy is at present impossible,' says M. Thiers to his friends. I shall enter into a policy of canals, and railroads, and material interests, such as the commercial and manufacturing Government of the United States are busy with.' In addition, he will not any longer listen to electoral reform, nor a revision of the Jaws of September, nor to anything which is connected even distantly with the politics of the Left. If ,yob knew with what profound dis dain the poor Left is treated by all the men who re volve around M. Thiers, and who regulate their con duct by the words of their master !' Upwards of 800 men of literature and science are expected to attend the Scientific Congress at Stras burg, which will be opened on the 28th inst. The Town Council has voted a sum of B,ooof. to be ex pended in the entertainment of these numerous and illustrious visitors of all nations. The Constitutionnel has the following :—"M. Olo zaga, the Spanish Ambassador to France, has left Madrid for Brussels, on a mission of importance to the Belgian Government: From Brussels he is to go into Holland to negotiate a treaty of commerce. It is added _that the Spanish Government, desirous of restoring its navy, has authorised him to propose an exchange of a certain number of Dutch ships for an adequate quantity of timber from theforests of Spain. Spain, it is well known, was in the last century one of the most powerful maritime powers of Europe. In 1717, ' when she contemplated the conquest of Sicily and Sar dinia, she was able to equip a fleet of 22 ships of the line, 3 frigates, 4 galleys, and 340 transports, in which were embarked 30,000 soldiers, irfantry and cavalry. From a recent table of the navy, it appears to be re duced to 5 ships of the line, 3 or 4 frigates, and a few schooners. That Spain owed her fall and ruin to England is unquestionable. It would, however, be advantageous to France, and restore the balance of power in Europe, if Spain were to resume her ori ginal rank among nations, when her influence would be available in the present state of politics." Admiral Hugon arrived at Toulon on the 14th inst., with his squadron, from the Hyeres Islands. The Phaeton steamer is undergoing repairs in that port, for the purpose, it is said, of taking on board Admiral Baudin, the Maritime Prefect, who is about to pro ceed on a tour of inspection along the coast, and visit the batteries of Provence and Languedoc. The Madrid journals of the 10th inst. are devoid of news. The Eco del Comercio announces that the Minister of Finance, being convinced of the impos sibility of putting his plans into execution , was on the point of sending in his resignation. A letter from Malaga of the 3d speaks of some serious disturbances having occurred at Motril, but gives no details ; a detachment of infantry and cavalry had been directed towards that point. It was rumoured that General Rodil was on the point of exchanging the Ministry of War for the Captaincy-General of the island of Cuba, which General 'Valdes is obliged to resign on account of ill health ; and that General Alcala, the Military Com mander of the Basque provinces, would be appointed Captain-General of the Philippine Islands. Messrs. Arguelles and Count D'Ofalia were dan gerously ill. The Augsburgh Gazette confirms the news of a re "volution in Servia, and states that it took place on the 4th and sth of September. Prince Michael at first took refuge at Belgrade, but as the insurgents marched on that city, he passed the Austrian frontier to pro ceed to Semlin. The same journal states that the tribunals of Wallachia have condemned to death Vo gorides, the head of the conspiracy which burst out last year at Braila, and nine other individual. As those men are not Reyes, the punishment has not been carried into effect, and they have been given up to their respective Consuls. Vogorides was delivered into the hands of the Greek Consul, and was carried away on the 20th ult. to Greece, whero he is to under go his punishment. PUBLIC OPINION. The Cambrian contains the following remarks on the presumed course of Tory policy :—" If any re liance can be placed on the articles which proceed from the Tory newspapers, it seems that the parties now holding the reins of office intend to wage war against the manufacturing system, for reasons suffi ciently obvious to the most superficial observer. In all countries where manufacturing exists to a great extent, its promoters are in most cases supporters of free principles and institutions; and necessarily op posed to monoi3olies. It is, upon this view of the case, not difficult to comprehend why the Tories en tertain an aversion for those engaged in manufactures, and at the same time instil these feelings into vast numbers of the middle classes." The following is from the Dublin Evening Post.— "When introducing the Income-tax, Sir Robert Peel dwelt upon the great favour extended to Ireland by exempting her from that impost. But we fear that the exemption we have received in that respect has been- much more than counterbalanced by the actual taxation put upon us, between the new duty upon whiskey and the new and increased stamp duties." The Leeds Times says :—".An unusual hush now seems to pervade all parties in the State. Contrasted with ten years ago, this silence is most ominous. Then the universal cry was, ' Keep out the Tories,' or, Down with the Tories !'—words which have now entirely lost their power. The Tories are in office ; and, what is most singular of all, treading in the very footsteps of their predecessors. All of which serves to teach, that though parties may veer and change, principles are eternal, and that the tendencies of society are still steadily onwards," We quote the following from the Devonport Inde pendent :—" During the Parliamentary recess the country has time to consider the operation of Sir R. 'Peel's recent measures, and among the rest his cun ningly devised Corn-law excites particular attention by its very peculiar effects. Farmers, corn-factors, and consumers are alike puzzled by it. It is a perpetual riddle to every body. Among its pleasant conse quences may be mentioned the failures of dealers in corn at home and abroad; while, the farmers murmur at low prices, yet the consumers find their bread still dear." wzoitqww-TIZA.DE-COMIVIERCZ. The markets of the manufacturing districts ge nerally give signs of an improvement in trade. IV On Saturday last there Ivas, in the Corn Exchange, Newcastle, 183 samples of wheat, 176 of which were of this year's crop, the quality very fine. MAW AND Richard Piling, Thomas Thorpe, Samuel Fean, George Taylor, William Wild, and James Nague, prisoners of mature age, were charged at Ashton, on Saturday, with conspiring to create suspensions of labour among the mills, &c. They were all com mitted on the charge of conspiracy, but the bail for two of them, who stood prominently forward, namely, Pilling and Nag,me, was required to be much larger than for the others. Pilling was ordered to take his trial in the county of Lancaster, and the others in the county of Chester. THEIITRICILL. The Directorship of the Italian theatre at Paris has fallen into the hands of M. Janin, M. Dormoy having resigned. The principal favourites of last season have been engaged. COURT --- PLISITIZONABLZ. His Royal Highness, the Duke of Sussex, arrived at Chatsworth on Saturday, from Alton Towers. The Duke and Duchess of Sutherland leave Dun robin at the end of the week, on a visit to the Earl and Countess of Carlisle at Castle-Howard. The Marquis and Marchioness of Lansdowne left Salzburg; early in the month, on their way home. The Earl of Haddington returned to town on Sa turday, after receiving her Majesty on her landing at Woolwich. The Earl and Countess of Chesterfield arrived at Gedling Hall, on Friday, from Doncaster. The Earl of Uxbridge, and the Ladies Paget, ar rived at Beaudesert, Staffordshire, on Friday last from town. Elm .urtuy of (veil on Saturday for Brighton. Sir Robert Peel has returned to Drayton Manor from Scotland. The Chancellor of the Exchequer left town on Saturday for the Isle of Wight. XXSCE,T, U.H NEWTS.. The Corporation of Cork has decided that the next Mayor shall not receive a salary, or be expected to reside in the Mansion-house. This will create a saving to the citizens of from 1,5001. to 2,0001. a year. The Income-tax Commissioners commence investi gating the returns to-morrow. Those claiming ex emptions for incomes under 1501. per annum, will be first inquired into. The Worcester festival commences in the Cathedral of that town to-day. A musical festival will also take place at Newcastle-upon-Tyne ' on the 27th inst. William Curry, Esq., one o f the Masters in Chan cery, fommerly Member for Armagh, and a sterling Reformer, died last week,at Dublin. Various parties are spoken of as his successor in the office of Master, among whom are Mr. Litton, Member for Coleraine, Mr. Brewster, Mr. Keatinge, Mr. Sergeant Warren, and Mr. Sergeant Green. Taglioni is at Milan, and intends remaining there for some time. She declines returning again to Russia, where, in addition to her immense salary, she had received munificent presents of jewellery from the Court and aristocracy. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERS ALL'S—YESTERDAY.

Yates's Canton, and Turk, named by Captain Gardnor. - WESTMINSTER' REGISTRATION. Thomas' James Arnold, Esq., the Barrister ap pointed to revise the lists of voters for the City of Westminster, held his Court at ten yesterday morn ing, pursuant to the provisions of the Reform Act, and, by permission of Lord Langdale, at the Rolls' Court, Westminster. The total number of claims by the Liberals this year is 100, and the total number of objections is 785, being 569 on the House List, and 216 on the Scot and Lot. The Tories make only 16 claims, whilst the total number of their objections is 328, being 307 on the House, and 21 on the Scot and Lot Lists. Mr. Trott and Mr. Huggett, the Reform Advocates, attended for the Reformers, and the Messrs. Score, sen., and jun., attended for the Tories. The REVISING BARRISTER, having announced his intention of proceeding with the parishes in alpha betical order, Mr. Score begged to ask 'whether the Court con sidered it necessary to inquire that the overseers' lists had been published on the church doors, conformably to the Act of Parliament. The REVISING BARRISTER, in a lengthened and elaborate judgment, gave it as his opinion that such an inquiry was not necessary; at any rate in the pre sent stage of the inquiry he did not think that he could enter into the investigation, nor indeed did he think that this was the proper tribunal before which such an investigation should take place. The 44th and 47th sections of the Reform Act were binding upon the overseer to make out lists of voters as well as lists of persons claiming to vote, and persons to whom objections had been made, and to fix such lists upon the church doors; and they (the overseers) were liable to a penalty of 5001. if they wilfully neglected their duty. But there was no clause empowering the Revising Barrister to inquire that the overseers had performed their duty in this particular. The lists of the various parishes were then re ceived, and the Court proceeded with the parish of St. Anne, in which parish the Liberals make 35 ob jections, and the Tories none. • LLOYD'S SHIPPING.

A letter has been addressed to Lloyd's, from Mr. Ed ward Jennings, Lieutenant R.N., suggesting the general adoption, in rough weather, of life lines being led fore and aft, both to windward and leeward, so that the men have something to lay hold of in passing from one end of the vessel to the other. In addition to this, he advises that each man be furnished with a belt, made gasket fashion, about a fathom and a half long. The utility of this is shown by the wearer when in an exposed situa tion, such as on the forecastle, conning, steering, &c., taking two half hitches with it, to either the life line, or any of the standing rigging, &c. He observes, that such a belt could not interfere with the wearer's duty aloft, as at such tim e s th e en d m i g h t b e wound round the body and tucked in. He concludes by impressing the neces sity of each captain of merchant vessels being supplied with a good barometer, vs a great deal of wear and tear of spars and canvas might be avoided, and the loss of shipping also prevented. His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambrid ge , Prince Frederick, the H ere dit ary P r i nce of Meck lenburg Strelitz, and Viscount Cantalupe, came over from Antwerp in the General Steam Navigation Company's steam-ship Soho, Captain T. Whitcombe, and landed on Sunday at the Brunswick Wharf, Black wall. His Royal highness Prince George proceeded immediately to his residence St. James s Palace. The General Steam-Navigation Company's fa vourite steamer Rainbow, still continues to make her accustomed quick passages, notwithstanding the wea ther has been somewhat different to the height of the summer. She arrived yesterday only having oc cupied 17 hours and a-half from the time she left Antwerp until the whole of her passengers had dis embarked at the Brunswick Pier, a passage which surpasses any thing that could be performed by any vessel out of the river. The General Steam Navigation Company's vesel the Ocean, !;last, from Rotterdam, arrived off the ens torn-house on Sunday, with the Dutch mail ; also the John Bull, Corbin, and Hamburgh, arrived off the Tower yesterday morning, with the Hamburgh mail.
