HIGH W ATEit AT LONDON BRIDGE THIS DAY. i.iornine 29 minutes after 2 I Evening LONDON : FRIDAY 21101ININGNOVENLI3ER 4, 1342. The provincial papery teem with plans for in creasing the quantity of food grown at home, Apparently the landowners have begun to per ceive that the present system cannot be much longer endured, and they hope to turn aside the wrath of those they have injured by promises of future plenty. Great systems of tile drainage are spoken of. Every acre is to he made to yield double the present quantity, and the landlords will ensure us a vast supply, if the League will only cease its agitation, and allow the present Corn-law, and the present so-called protection, to continue. Amongst the schemes for increasing the home produce, and for conferring additional benefits on the landowners, the one put forth by Mr. BLACKER, of Armagh, " a good agriculturist,"as he is called in the Northern Whig," but a worse than indifferent political economist," seems the .• most preposterous. It is bad enough to propose, with the generality of the landowners, that they should he allowed to underdrain and improve the lands by means of a tax wrung from the rest of the people; but Mr. BLACKER proposes, in ad dition, that the Government, which is a continual borrower, like a paper-issuing bank, should also, like a bank, turn lender, and ensure prosperity to agriculture by a loan of public money to land lords, of one or two millions a-year, at 31 per ce n t. We need not criticise such a plan in de tail. It is too childish to merit notice, and we should not have bestowed any on it had it not been favourably spoken of by some of the land lords' journals. All schemes for the direct en ,couragement of agriculture seem to sin agtinst common sense and the best established principles, end we should regret to see any of them adopted. .On this ground we seldom trouble ourselves with those which fall in our way, being convinced • that they are all essentially erroneous, and must, if acted on, occasion mischief and disappointment. The best and the only encouragement to agri -culture is au increased demand for its produc.s, that is people to consume them who have some thing to give for them. The farmers and land lords gain nothing by mu ltiplying beggars; but the increase of merchants? who bring wealth of vacions kinds from other countries, and the in creas,z of manufacturers, artisans, and. artists, Who by .their labour and wealth gratify the %wants, natural or artificial, of the agricultural classes, bestows on them a rich reward for their exer tions. The increase of commerce and manufac tures is not merely the best, as Sir ROBERT PEEL has stated ; it is, we repeat, the only encourage- went which can make agriculture thrive. To encourage agriculture,. therefore, we must permit manufactures and commerce to extend, and those who would encourage it by stifling the latter, or checking their_ growth, are as ignorant • -and barbarous as those savages who, by muti lating the human body, count on i ncrea sing i ts beauty and vigour . At present the complaint of the agriculturists ,is that they do not get enough, or a remunerat price, gr umbling fbr what they , produc e . Th ey are ing f r om Cape Clear to Flamburough Head at the fall of prices. At the same time, ;t .is plain, frOm the high price of agricultural pro ' duce hitherto, that they have had more than their share of the produce of manufactures and trade. The - law intended to give them more. The law has, at the same time, curbed manufac tures and commerce, and put a limit to their pro- AuctiOns. ir The chief cause of the present fall of Prices is the comparative inability of the manu facturing and commercial classes to buy. They have little or nothing to give in exchange for agricultural produce. There are thousands of mouths in our towns hungering for food, who, receiving hardly any wages, cannot be good cu. - 4-, v_vstomers of the farmers . To r a i se )-- 1 . r -- 114 -$' crease the effective demand for .. prices, to in )a farm produce, ,to 1 . 71,74::::f",: - encourage agriculture, the only way is to Put .these men in the way of earning wages. The Z:y cri;424:-'''',Prriercial products must be increased before there -.I• I -$' ' '''' s: 4 tan be anything - more to give to the farmers. a si Prices will then rise, and the farmer rho now grows a great deal more than he consumes him self, will be enriched by exchanging his surplus produce for the produce of merchants and manu facturers. But all such schemes as those of Mr. BLACKER, those of our tile-draining, stock-im proving, Corn-law making landlords, rest on one leg. They increase agricultural produce, but they do not increase commodities to pay for it. No doubt the principle .of population will supply mouths, but if mills stand idle or work half time, or if our shipping get but half freights or lie rot ting in port, there will be no increase of manufac turing and commercial wealth to exchange for agricultural produce. The more that is increased without an increase in trade and manufactures the lower will its price fall, and the greater will be the distress, till a new life be given to manu factures by the excess and the cheapness of the produce of the farmers. As long as agriculture is carried on—not merely to supply the wants of the agriculturists but to exchange its produce, it is absurd to suppose that it can thrive without an increase in the wealth for which that produce is to be exchanged. The landlords fix it on one leg, and then expect it to walk rapidly forward. We do not deny that the land may be better cultivated, and sustain more persons than at. present, without any increase in commerce and manufactures, but they must be persons who cultivate it to live on its produce, and not to ex change it. Encouragement to agriculture, with: out a corresponding increase in trade and com merce, may fill the land with, for aught we know, happy and healthful cottars—machines, as they have been described, six feet high, for turning potatoes into human beings; it may crowd every gentleman's estate with thousands and thousands of squatters and allottees, but we are very much mistaken if that is the sort of population, however happy in themselves, which our landlords desire, or which would increase their rents and add to the security of their pro perty. What mode of parcelling out the soil may be for the greatest happinev of the great est number, we will not venture to inquire, but for a Government which derives the greatest part of its revenue from commerce, and for opu lent landowners who revel in foreign luxuries, we can conceive no scheme more pregnant with the seeds of destruction, than one which should encourage the cultivation of the soil for the chief purpose of subsisting those who cultivate it, in stead of growing a large surplus to exchange. p 41 1 ,t , at, h 4! , inm • DR • 40 - • Ztit COURT CIRCULAR.

Dispatches were also sent off for the Governor of West Australia. ARRIVAL of the BRITISH QUEEN. (FURTHER PARTICULARS) COWES, THURSDAY.—The British Queen, Belgian steamer, from New York to Antwerp, arrived here early this morning, after a very lengthened passage of twenty-six days, having borne up for the Western Isles, to get a fresh supply of coals. She has brought the intelligence of the loss of another of the Royal West India mail steamers (said to be the Solway), but the news is given in so vague and loose a manner, that many persons think it must refer to the Medina, which was lost at Turk's Island some months ago. The Captain of the British Queen, Captain' Eyckholt, in writing to the Southampton agents on the subject, states, "We arrived in the night at Cowes, after a voyage of twenty-six days, and we were obliged to call at the Azores, to get a fresh supply of coals, for which we paid at the rate of 100 francs per ton. In starting from Fayal we left the Medway, West India steamer, which put in their to take in coals, and which announced to us the. total loss of one of the West India steamers." Now, Captain Eyckholt was perfectly aware of the loss of the Medina before he left England, and therefore would not have communicated to his agents the loss of that vessel, and though he does not name the ship reported to be lost, yet a number of the passengers who have landed from the British Queen have sup plied that omission, and state it to be the Solway, and that no lives have been lost, but that the officers, Eng land. the Medway, gen en N i v an hic h h as crew, and passengers of the Solway are all safe on N g vi i l v l en br a in i g nor theip . t l oj t n a g he: count, inasmuch as he has named the spot teluphere,,t ine vessel is said to be wrecked, which is the the Gulf of Mexico. On the other hand, of the report refers most positively assert s th a t th e refers to the Medina, and that it was some of th e crew who formerly belonged to her who were on board the Medway, and that in the communication between the boat's crew of the British Queen and some of the M edway's men the statement relative to the wreck of the West India steamer, and her men being on board the Medway, referred to the portion of the Medina's crew who were on board of her, and that the mistake has arisen from the Belgian seamen not understand ing the English language. With such conflicting accounts there is no possibility of arriving at any accurate conclusion until the arrival of the Medway herself, which is expected every hour, and which no doubt has reached Fal mouth ere this, as it NN as understood she would leave Fayal the day following that o n which the British Queen left, more especially as the latter has had a lengthened passage, and as the West India steamers usually perform the distance in six days. There has been no intelligence forwarded.to, the West India Mail Company's office at Southampton: . from the Medway' direct, and the only account the persorn. c in the office have received of the disaster is thrOngh Messrs. Mollet and Co., to whom Captain Eyckholt's letter is addressed. Of couzse the news has created considerable uneasiness among those who*have friends on board the west India steamers, and numbers are anxiously looking out for the Medway's arrival. The British Queen was lying at anchor six . days at Fayal, and left immediately after the arrival of the'Medway. her letters and papers were landed this morning, and inuusdiately forwarded on to London; but the,in ligenca they may communicate has already been an ticipated by the news brought by the Caledonia. Mr. Cocks, the providono of the British Queen, left that vessel at Fayal, and went on board the Medway, in hopes: of reaching England before the British Queen, and in safety. We understand that she is not considered sea-worthy, having broken her main beam on her passage out. An experienced Captain here told me just now that she could not go out again in , her present state. A new Police Court has been erected in Arbonr square,• Stepney, and has been for some time com pleted, the furniture alone been required to render *it fit for . occupation and business.

Office, 2, Catherine-street, Strand. CHINA. BY ROBERT WISE, ESQ. [Since the publication of the following observations in The Sun of Saturday last, we have received so many orders, which we cannot supply, that. we are induced to republish the article.—ED. Sun.] We have perused, with great satisfaction, a small publication entitled " Remarks on our present Posit tion with Affghanistan and China ;" and as the au- , s rb ta--4 top 211 thor, Mr. Robert Wise, of Allonby,.. a naval officer, who had served for years in the East, is evidently. well acquainted with his subject, and takes - a- rational and manly view of our existing relations with these countries, we shall make no apology ,for quoting freely from the work. The information it conveys is the more valuable, as it is the result of per- sepal observation obtained many years ago, and is matured and strengthened by the remarkable operations carried on by the British forces on the west and east of our Indian possessions. The author in early life served on the coast of China and India, in his Majesty's ship Dover, 38 guns, which was lost in a hurricane at Madras in 1811 ; he afterwards joined the Java expedition, and was pre- sent at the reduction of that island and the rest of Dutch India. In adverting to the character of the Aff- ghans, and the probable cause of our expedition against Caubul, he throws some light on the mysterious policy of Lord Auckland, which has hitherto had such un fortunate results. The Affghans he describes as a na- tion of freebooters and man-stealers, who consider it a merit to conquer and rob every country and every _ . nation which is not Mahomedan—to massacre the in habitants in cold blood, or forcibly convert them to the Mahom?dan religion, and afterwards sell them as slaves. No treaty will be considered binding on their part, unless we retain fortresses and keep troops in the country sufficient to com pel them at all times to fulfil their engagements. " In proof of these assertions," he adds, " I need only refer, in the first place, to the repeated instances of attempts made by the ancestors of Shah Soojah, Dost Mahomed, and the Affghan tribes, to invade India, within the last century, and the awful devastation and desolation which they committed on the peaceable and unoffending Hindoos on the east banks of the Indus, and to a considerable extent in the interior of Hin- dostan. Secondly, to the repeated breaches of faith which one head chief of their own tribes committed towards that of another, accompanied with the most savage cruelties. Thirdly, to the perfidious murder of Col. Burns and our Envoy, and the breaches of faith and awful cruelties exercised by the present genera:. tion of Affghans on our hapless forces, in their late return from Caubul towards India, under treaty of safe conduct." He attributes their late daring and treacherous conduct to their contempt for the Hin doos, acquired in their repeated and successful inva sions of India, and adduces this as a reason why Indian born troops do not strike that terror into the Affghans which an army of less than one quarter of the number would do, consisting of strong and hardy British troops. In place, therefore, of keeping up such a large Indian force, he proposes that troops shcarld be conveyed direct from England to the mouth of the Indus, and thence, by steam-boats, up that river to Kalabagh, a distance of 1,500 miles. We like the spirit of the following extract, which forms such . a contrast to the reported, policy of Lord Ellenborough, and the advice of those timid Englishmen who, like cowards, would put up with the most atrocious indig nities ever inflicted by barbarians, strengthen the hands of our enemies in that quarter, and cause the utmost indignation, not only in the British army, but among the vast Indian population under British sway. Here is the advice of a true British sailor : It appears imperative s on us to read the Affghans such a lesson as never will be forgotten, and to settle the mat• ter at once and for ever, as regards our power to hold such control over them as Government may deem fit, for the ultimate security of Britain. After completely sub duing the different tribes in Affghanistan, if,a few of the naturally strong points and fortifications were held by us permanently, and garrisoned by European troops (at least in the more elevated part of the country), and these troops were able to act at all seasons of the year, it would tend much to the restraint of the Affghan popu lation. The enterprise of the British merchants, under such arrangement and protection, will pioneer the way for the introduction of civil and religious liberty, which at present is making rapid progress in our East India possessions. Nothing but our occupying the strongholds —the Gibraltars and Maltas of Affghanistan—and making them equally formidable, will convince the .Aff ghans that it is utterly out. of their power - successfully to oppose us, even were they assisted by any other Power or Powers whatever. Mr. Wise concludes his remarks on this subject in these words, in which we fully concur, only regretting that the Great Duke was so unfortunate in his choice of a Governor-General :-- It is fortunate for this country that the life of his Grace, the Duke of Wellington, has been spared, till the occasion has arisen for taking decisive steps in these mo mentous questions. Of the dispute with China he takes the same judicious and practical view ; and on considering the question in all its bearings, he anticipates that the war, if conducted with energy, will ultimately pro duce a solid peace, highly beneficial to Great Britain, to British India, and to China itself. As we have fre quently contended, one great object should ever be kept in view in the settlement of our disputes with China, namely—the opening of commercial relations with that country, and thereby affiarding employment to our cotton, woollen, and hardware manufactures. The trade to China is capable of great extension, and if we . gan succeed in opening up a more free inter course.with the north-eastern parts of the empire, the manufactured woollens and cottons of Yorkshire and Lancashire could be sold there, to pay a fair profit, at a price one-third less than the Chinese can produce such articles. We should thus secure the clothing of many millions of people, give new life to the mercantile navy, and carry on a trade with the vast regions and islands in the East, which would greatly counterbalance the injury done by the six new tariffs. For this pur pose Mr. Wise proposes that a few free depots should be established along the sea coast, on the promonto ries of the mainland, and more especially on the banks of the great artery of China, the river Yangtse Kiang, on the principle adopted at Singapore, which would certainly extend our general trade with China, as the settlement at that place has extended our trade in the Malay Archipelago. We may here remark, that The author acquits the English of all blame in the opium affair, and believes the Tartar rulers had made up their minds to break with us, having chosen the opium question for that purpose. The accounts which he gives of the sea coast of Mantchoo Tartary, of the Peiho river, of Yangtse Kiang, which traverses the heart of the empire for more than two thousand miles of the country around Pekin, and of almost every gulf, promontory, and island along the extensive coast, possesses great interest ; and we, therefore, cordially recommend the little work to the attention of our readers. We have room . for only one extract more, but it is rather an important one, as it contains a plan for bringing the dispute to a satisfac tory conclusion. I presume (says Mr. Wise), in conclusion, the only course left us, as holding out any reasonable hope of obtaining a satisfactory settlement, and a solid lastin ,, peace, is to prosecute the war with the most determined' vigour, by sending to China, from England, a naval and military force of healthy, strong, fresh Englishmen, fit and powerful enough to act at all seasons, in any part of China (the Indian-born forces will do very well in south China, but north China is too cold for them), to select and take poisession of such a number, of. points on the coasts; islands, and rivers of China, as will give us the command:. of the mouths of all the great rivers of China ; Of ..all the islinds' on the coast ; of the traffic on the 'imperial canal and Irangtse Kiang river, and of the principal seacoast cities4. 4 t nth p.iints being selected as we can securely and petithanuntly 'hold, mainly by a sea force, against all and any enemy whatever, from any country ; after which to proceed to Pekin, and tender the Emperor a treaty of peace, by which lie is to make reparation for the national insults inflicted upon us at Canton, by ceding to us in perpetuity, such islands, ports, and places, as we may have selected and captured, together with territory which shall produce such a revenue as, we may judge will support a naval and military force large enough to protect ourselves, and enforce the fulfilment of the treaty (for the Chinese will break it if we leave them the power) ; by conceding to us a residence for a 13riti§h ambassador at the Court of Pekin (Russia has a _representative there) ;—a treaty of commerce, defining clearly the duties to be levied in China on imports and exports ;—a dissolution afid extinction of the Co-Hong; —a full opening to us of certain 'points in China (beyond those ceded to us for indemnified for the purpose s of trade and commerce ; by which t re aty we a re to be for the expenses of the war, and the cost of the opium destroyed, in 'cash down at once. schemes of our Puseyites, and treated with ias much ridicule as the lectures of our Bishops on burning candles at the altar, on genuflexions and signs of the cross, and all those other frivolities, which seem to be regarded with much more veneration than the beauties of Divine truth ? In the Scotch Church, too, a rage of different kind prevails ; but it is as little connected with religion, and has, perhaps, been more injurious to the very character of that establishment which it is meant to uphold. Even among the quiet people of Switzerland new ceremonies and new sects are springing up. One has just been established at Ge neva, which has not yet acquired a name, but from all accounts it is of a rathersingular kind, as their meetings are so noisy that they cannot procure a place within the walls to perform their rites. Then we have the Irvingites, the speakers in un known tongues; and the Yankees have their Mormonites, perhaps exceeding all others in ex travagance. These are facts which forbode no good, and inspire the sober-minded Christian with feelings of sorrow and shame. The Madrid Gazette of the 26th ult. an nounces, that the REGENT, wishing to reward the officers and soldiers who, in 1823, after having fought for liberty, desired to remain prisoners of war rather than join the anti-national party, which, with the assistance of a foreign army, had restored a system of absolute power, had issued the following decree:— " 1. A cross of distinction is granted to the officers and soldiers who in 1823 were conveyed into France as prisoners of war after having fought for the cause of liberty. "2. This cross will be made of gold for the officers, and silver for the privates." The Heraldo states that the REGENT had granted permission to the Infante Don FRAN CISCO de PAULA to proceed to Andalusia through Valencia without passing through Madrid. Desertions into France had again commenced amongst the Spanish troops on the frontier. The Three per Cents. were done on the Ma drid Bourse on the 26th ult. at 21i 15-16 at 60 days, and the Fives at 261 cash, 26k 13-16 at 60 days, and 21i at 60 days with four coupons. The Paris papers received this morning refrain entirely, a most unusual occurrence, from angry comments on the policy of England. It would appear there is now no longer any doubt as to the result of the negotiations for a treaty with Belgium, and that the affair is at an end. The Courrier Francais has a long article on the sub ject, and seems to impute great blame to the Government for entertaining a project which they might have known would end in smoke. We are not aware that that journal predicted any such result at the comtnencement, or even hinted that it would be injudicious to attempt a closer commercial connection with their neigh bour and protegee, but the truth is, Frenchmen cannot write without grutnbling, and never seem contented with any arrangement, or with any Government or country. King LEOPOLD must see, from the proceedings which have taken place at Paris within the last ten days, that Bel gium can expect little favour from France, ex cept the favour of being taken entirely under her protection and then swallowed up. Here is the latest attack from the Courrier on M. GUIZOT : " To excuse the Cabinet it is asserted that we are in a state of commercial convulsion. But who has produced this agitation, if not the Ministry them selves ? Before they mooted the question of a com mercial union between France and Belgium, were they not aware that those of our manufacturers who live under the protection of prohibition would raise a loud outcry, would speak of the despair of their work men, and would exclaim that national labour was on the point of being ruined. Had they not a precedent for this in the commercial inquiry of 1814, and the not less significant example of the illustrious Hus kisson ? Might they not surmise, from the attempts at intimidation-made by certain deputies, what some of the electors would do • and, in fine, ought they lo have been ignorant that their position would be threatened the very day on which they ventured to add to the power of their political adversaries the op position of the manufacturers feudally organised? The Ministry were, in fact, fully warned, and before rushing into so arduous an undertaking, they ought to have measured the consequences, and have calcu lated on opposition as well as defection. It is not proper now to tell us that the Cabinet should have taken steps to make the question subordinate to their existence, and not their existence to the question. The country cannot stop at such trifles, and the existence of the Ministry is not of such great value, as to sacrifice to it the permanent union of two nations, which the Congress of Vienna had endeavoured to separate, but which their revolutions have brought together. As long as the Ministry left the question in repose the manufacturers tacitly admitted the possibility, that one day or other an attempt might be made to remove the commercial barrier ; and now, because a Government without any fixed resolution has inop portunely thrown the matter to the world for discus sion, they demanded to lay down as a principle the es sentially transitory regime of the protective system. Decidedly we have retrograded during the last six months for such demands to be put forward, and the Ministry, in thus recognising the preponderance of privileged interests, makes subordinate to them not only its own existence, but even that of all govern ment. We protest against this degradation of autho rity hi France. There is no longer liberty in a coun try where the interests which speak the loudest are certain of bringing the Government to terms. Before 1830 the Government was the oppressor, but now it figures in another shape, and we do not find its cha racter of oppressed more worthy of it, or more happy for us. Every one has his place marked in society, and ought to remain there, and the Government ought no more to be directed by a manufacturing • party than domineered over by a political one." The Commerce states "that the sons of General PAJOL, with a generous spirit of self-denial, have relinquished their patrimonial fortune to present it to their father, in order that, in his old age, after having so long enjoyed the comforts of opulence, he should not suffer the privations at- tacked to the want of employment." SEBASTOPOL.—In a letter from Sebastopol, in the Journal de Frankfort, we read :—" The fleet, which sailed from this port a month ago, to cruise in the Black Sea, has returned. It is composed of six ships of the line, two frlgates, and three sloops. We have also in the roadstead six other ships ready for sea. The RusF.ian fleet stationed in the Black Sea consists of eight ships of the line, six frigates, eleven sloops, and six steamers, which are constantly cruising along the shores of the Caucasus, to prevent all intercourse be tween the Circassians and the ports of Asia Minor, whence the mountaineers procure their provisions and ammunition. The fortifications of Sebastopol are going on very rapidly. Forts Alexander and Con stantine, which command the entrance into the bay, and will be mounted with 320 guns, are quite finished. Fort Nicholas, which has three ranges of bastions, one over the other, and are to be armed with 260 guns (of which 50 are already mounted), to protect the harbour and docks, is also nearly completed. These docks, which were commenced twelve years ago, are of gigantic dimensions, of which no idea can be formed without being seen. In order to supply them with water, it has been necessary to cut a canal about fourteen miles in length, and construct several tun nels and aqueducts. All these works .have been car ried on under the direction of Mr. Hopton, an Eng lish engineer, with whom the Emperor is so highly satisfied, that he has created him a Major in rank, and conferred upon him the insignia of one of the Impe rial Orders.'

Sir ROBERT PEEL is fast becoming unpopular throughout the empire. He has deceived the hopes of the commercial and manufacturing classes. The agricUltural classes are very gene rally offended by the results of his measures. The worrying Income-tax, almost before any portion of it has been levied, is rousing against him the bulk of those who live comparatively at ease. He has done nothing whatever to soothe the irritation of the lower classes, who hate him, and hate his party from old recollections, per haps even more than they now hate the Whigs. His Government: rests no longer on the hopes or on the satisfaction of any of the great pro dueing interests, or on the bulk of the people. It is neither loved nor respected ; it is borne with, because at present those who hate and despise it cannot change it for a better. The choice lies betwixt him and the Whigs ; and great as may be his present unpopularity, contemptible and hateful as may be his Govern ment to the majority of the people, it is still less unpopular—less contemptible—and less hate ful than that of the Whigs. His faction is shielded by their still greater failure. Neither has, for the bulk of the community, any char acter of goodness; but his Government is, as yet, less bad than theirs. It is not his own virtue but their demerit which keeps him in office. The country owes him nothing for an increase of prosperity since his accession to power, but it cannot forget that its decay and its . sufferings began before he was,,Prime Minister. It has been deceived petty, paltry, Meddling commercial alterations (they do not deserve the name of reforms), but it has no faith in the changes proposed by the Whigs. It seems to • need other measures, and other Men to execute . them ; it cannot yet find these, and therefore it endures PEEL. , If the public complain of the Income-tax, the answer is, that the wasteful expenditure of the Whigs has made it necessary ; and were they to return to power, it is doubtful whether they could or would abolish it. When the farmers "dont" and "drat " Sir ROBERT, they are re minded that he is their friend, and that . the mea sures of the Whigs would inflict on them a still greater injury. If the manufacturers say he has done very little for them, they are told that the Whigs were ten years in office, and never at tempted to set trade free till they had lost the power to carry such a resolve into effect. When the Chartists complain .of the prosecutions of 1842, they are reminded of those of 1838 and 1839. The Whig journals are trying hard to make out a 'ease against Sir JAMES GRAEAM, because HOLBERRY died in prison; but the Char tists—and they are a very numerous body--• reply, that the Whigs put him there. They k now from Lord JonN RUSSELL'S repeated de claration, that they have nothing to hope from his finality principle; the Tories are their open and declared enemies, who never beguiled nor deceived them. The Tories never said other wise than that they were determined to be the masters. They never toasted " the sovereignty of the people." If the Chartists hate the Tories more, they perhaps despise the Whigs more, and will have none of them. There is no great interest in the country which looks with con fidence to the Whigs, or they might soon oust their now unpopular opponents ; and therefbre all submit, with grumbling, to the Tories. If these remarks are a pretty fair representa tion of the feelings and opinions of the majority of the community, it appears that the Whigs " are now severely punished for their short-corn ing and injudicious proceedings. It is for them a sad thing to be regarded by the public as worse than the Tories. Though we do not agree With the public as to the degree, we coincide with it in looking at both parties with mistrust. Both have contributed to bring on the present con dition of England. The policy of both has been erroneous. Neither has ever thought of doing justice to the people. Both have gone on in a career of extravagance, disregarding the welfare of the masses, till great difficuties have conic upon us. The community has ceased to place unlimited confidence in either party, and has ceased to he Whig or Tory. The Whigs per ceive that they do not gather strength as their adversaries become weak ; and they begin to rail against the neutrals, or men of neither party, be cause they stand aloof, and will not again place them in a situation to break all their promises and deceive all the hopes of the people. We hail with pleasure the unexampled rapid in crease of a party which is neither Whig nor Tory, which looks to the interest of the commu nity, and which will, we hope, ere long become the most numerous in the country, and then it will be the most influential in the Government. At the same time it is not. satisfactory to find the leading politicians of both parties objects of general distrust. Both are condemned by face s. The want of prosperity, which is a reproach to both, is the source of the want of confidence. It is too palpable to be concealed or denied that both have failed. The policy of neither is adapted to the circumstances of the times, and the wants of the community. The nation is in a peculiar condition. It is without leaders whom it loves and respects, and without a system of policy in . which it has a lively faith. It must, therefor e ' work out its safety on some other plan, and under other.gnides. The present is probably the most remarkable age on record since the Reformation for innova tions in religious rites and ceremonies, taking their rise not from any wish or feeling whatever in this respect among the people, but planned and carried out by the priesthood. The worst feature in the general movement is the little regard paid to the truths and doctrines of Christianity, and the vast importance attached to outward forms and symbols, hitherto regarded by Protestants as little better than Catholic mummeries. These follies are not confined to this country, but are exhibited in still greater pethetion among ou r lively to look upon the m with contempt and derision. ne i g hb our s, so long accustomed LOUIS PHILLIPPE being anxious to establish the Catholic religiOn in Algiers, appointed a Bishop for that Purpo se , a s well as to minister to the religious want s of hi s o wn people.

Only three Paris papers were published on the Wed nesday, the preceding day, " All Saints," being a close holiday. In the Royal domain of Bizy, a little chateau is being constructed, entirely after the King's own plans. This is intended as a present from his Majesty to her Royal Highness the Princess Clementine. The woods surrounding this Princely habitation bring in alone a revenue of 300,000 f. a year. There is such a quantity of game in the forest of Chambord (says the Courrier de Loir-et-Cher), that nearly 200 persons are now engaged in taking the deer alive, with nets, and putting them into cages, to be conveyed to other forests. Marshal Marmont, Duke of Ragusa, has arrived at Munich, and purposes remaining there for some time. M. Pierre de Castellane, son of the General of that name, who commanded the army placed at the defiles of the Pyrenees during the late Spanish intestine war, has just engaged himself as a private soldier in the African army. A letter from Bruges, in the Independent of Brussels of Monday, states that the Commissioners of the Societe de Commerce of Bruges, who were sent to Brazil to open negotiations for the establishment of a Belgian colony in that country, have purchased, in the province of Ste. Catherine, a tract of territory twenty French leagues in length, and the same in width. The Prussian Government has just reduced the duty on salt one-fifth. PUBLIC OPINION. The following remarks are from the Post : " What is to become of Irish agricultural prosperity while the form of insanity called liberal views' is in the ascendant among legislators and governors ? A paragraph has appeared in most of the papers, and also in the letter of our own Dublin cor respondent, to the effect that the Custom-house Commissioners in Ireland have received orders from the Lords of the Treasury to allow all vessels to take on their outward voyages as much foreign salted beef and pork as will serve to victual the crews until their return. We suppose it is meant that this foreign meat may be taken out by these vessels free of duty, for otherwise there needed no order to the Custom house on the subject. The Irish commentators upon the intelligence make a loud complaint.of the loss of custom which this new regulation will occasion to the sellers of Irish provisions, and think it very 'un accountable' that this source of emolument to them should be abolished. Certainly it would be unac countable were not the 'liberal views' taken into consideration, by which the governors of this pecu liarly happy nation are influenced. It is clear that shipowners may victual their ships for foreign voyages at a cheaper rate, by purchasing foreign provisions free of duty, than by purchasing British or Irish provisions. It is consistent with liberal views' that what is cheapest is best, except, indeed, where the professors of these views have their own services brought into consideration." The Herald observes on the subject of Irish poli tics :—" The spirit of tranquillity which Lord De Grey's Government has so generally diffused through out Ireland has apparently penetrated even Mr. Da niel O'Connell's person and affected his conduct. Not a dinner has that eminent diner-out got up for himself during this recess ; not a sheet of letter-paper has he spoilt this year at Derrynane in agitation or sedition ; his private correspondence, intended for public peru sal, with Dear Ray,' or Barrett the best beloved, who suffered vicarious imprisonment for his chief, has dropped; and as Mr. Daniel O'Connell seems for the first time during his public life to have given a few months to reflection--let us trust his violence is sub siding :as old age advances. We do not drop this hope, because he is now again troubling the land ; he troubles it for the rint, which seems pour ing in with undiminished vigour ; let him continue to extract the pence from his dupes in peace, if he will only give up his itinerant and epistolary habits of agitation. It was amusing enough to notice the gravity with which the man bags the contributions, and the skill with which he stimulates the charity on which he lives. Take a scene from yesterday's Herald—Mr. O'Connell sitting at the receipt of custom, in the Corn Exchange, as usual during the rint season, reads to his auditory a letter from the son of Sir Thomas Lethbridge, the heir to a baronetage,' the language of which. was discreditable to a person of education, and suggests the insanity of the writer. It concluded however with a subscrip tion of five guineas to the rint; whereupon said Mr. O'Connell taking his eye-glass from his nose and chuckling with delight—' The letter just read affords materials for thinking ; every man should read it, statesmen in England should read it !' Materials for eating and drinking too, good Daniel ; Mr. Lethbridge might have written until doomsday without this compliment, had he not enclosed a cheque." The Chronicle thus speaks of the recent Irish legal appointments:—" The late legal appointments in Ire land are, perhaps, the least exceptionable doings of the present Government. Mr. Blackburne, as Attor • ney-General, had a right to his, choice of any judicial situation which might fall vacant; and it is a subject of congratulation that he has taken one which his pro fessional abilities will enable him to fill in a respect able manner, while it removes him for ever from all dangerous conflicts with the political rights or liber ties of the subject. As Master of the Rolls he will exercise authorities in questions of property only ; and, being a sound lawyer, and exempt in that position from all party bias and resentment, his decisions will, we doubt not, give general satisfaction. Mr. Smith, the new Attorney-General, is a gentleman of the highest professional character ; and as he has never been in Parliament, has nothing to renounce. The road is clear before him, and it is not to be doubted that he will choose that side, whiclf even a Litton or a Shaw would now choose, were they to begin again —the side of moderation and common sense. The Solicitor-General, Mr. Greene, belongs to the sup posed neutral character—a man of no politics ; a class of men always, and under every dynasty, special favourites of the Tories." The Times says :—" It is notorious that the quarrel ling party in France is the revolutionary party. The Frenchmen who want a war, want a war of Propa gandism. And but for Louis Philippe, they might, in 1830, when Kings were in a fright, and subjects in a fever, have prosecuted such a thing with some success. But that opportunity is past—the fever has subsided—the fight has been modified into a salutary caution. The snap of 1830 recalled too vividly to the European Powers the bite of Napoleon; and till the memory of the French empire has ceased to be a reality, it is in vain for France to hope for European sympathy with her ambitious moods. In a war un willingly entered upon by a respectable Government and in a just cause, France might doubtless find her party not only among the disaffected conspirators, but among the established Sovereign Powers of Europe, though even this might prove, in some cases, difficult. The emergency must be a startling one which would reconcile the Prussian soldier to fight in the same ranks with the Frenchman, with any object and under any conditions ; but in a war of conquest or revenge she will find herself at once and unfailingly alone. She comes into Court with the very worst character, and will be cast on the very first symptom of perverse pugnacity." The following is from the Advertiser :—" We have already pointed out the dishonesty of those monopo lists of political power, who, like Lord Abinger, en deavour to make it appear that, in seeking for a due participation in the aggregate of constitutional rights, the no-property class seek for exclusive power—power to make laws for binding those who are the possessors of property. The no -property class,' as Lord Abinger designates the labouring right--an i l eg a r s ht s )t e ,—, s , desirea d n es e t g i t t i v ani t oi e of a t yofr monopoly, i g g in amount right te guaranteedb uta of Inet tangible orethe ceimuaequality h o oe i Constitution, but of which they were gradually de as p n o d i I p e d r i , v i a l s e g t e h s e a t a ristocracy once o f t h e n e e c r o r o a e w h n e d a nudpoofn the t h e rights people. But the people are represented to be unfit for the exercise of even that lower degree of political power, which we have shown to be included in the Parlia mentary franchise ; and evils, almost indescribable in their enormity and magnitude, - ftre predicated as the result of any such concession being made to,them. It is a strange thing to find that, as the people have become educated and intelligent, which they undoubt edly have (however defective in these respects some of them may still be), as compared with the same classes in remote periods of our constitutional history, the objections to their political franchise should have been devised and set up. In former times, that is, before the aristocracy assumed and exercised its dominant power, such objections were unknown." MONEY—TRADE—COMMERCE. The meeting of the Commissioners in the bank ruptcyy, of the firm of Parker and Smith, solicitors of HerefOrd, was held a few days since in that town. The total amount of debts proved exceeded 21,000/., whilst the assets realised gave only 1,600!. The whole of this has been expended in law-suits and charges, except 901. The meeting of the Vauxhall-bridge Company was held yesterday at Cornhill.
