SEPTEMBER 27, 1842. Towards the close of the session Lord PAL MERSTON made quite a name for himself by his bold attacks on the commercial policy of the Tories. The Liberal party, in the absence of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, looked up to him as its leader, and reports got abroad that Lord JoHN was to resign the leadership permanently to Lord PALMERSTON. Being at least one of the foremost men of the party in opposition, his opi nions are matters of great importance. Hence we attach more consequence to the leading arti cles of the Morning Chronicle, which is said to speak the sentiments of the Noble Lord, than Ire otherwise should. Believing ourselves that the settlement of the dispute with the United States, on almost any terms, would be highly beneficial to both countries, and believing that Lord ASIIBVRTON'S treaty settles it in an ex tretrtely favourable manner to both--for both will gaiti by the settlement, which inflicts no particle of disgrace or dishonour on either—we feel called on to signify our dissent from the tirades wwhich the Chronic* publishes day after day against the treaty. If it were demonstrated to-ntorrow, which it cannot possibly be, that the boundary traced out d FEATH ERSTON E if A UGH , by Messrs. MITDGE a a , was foot by-foot, and . step by step, the boundary agreed on originally between the two States; and if it were at the same time demonstrated, as it is, that it is more convenient to both parties, ; both having for some time lostsight of that original boundary, now to make a different arrangement; and if the line chosen and settled is convenient, as all parties adinit that it is, we should hold it to be the merest drivelling in any man w ho pre tended to look at the interest of the two nations, to assign the least importance to the original boun dary(; and much worse than drivelling to make that a reason for r e j ect i ng the new and conve nient arrangement agreed to. To harp on the original boundary, however, is the gist of the articles of the Morning Chronicle, and, being urged day after day with great vehemence, in order to excite the public against •the treaty and retard the settlement of the question, we are bound to state that we repudiate its doctrines in lobo, and will on that point lend no support wht;t-ver to the party which it represents. We copy from the Spectator some remarks which set in a true light the sacrifice of all as patriotism. Why, the slave-dealers defended their odious traffic on the ground that it added to the wealth and power of Great Britain, and on no better ground does the Chronicle defend ifs plan for blocking up a river against the fer tilizing commerce of a friendly nation. That the Americans should have the free navigation of the St. John's, as we demand the free navigation of the Elbe, cannot inflict the smallest injury on either the colonies of Great Britain or the mother country. On the con trary, it would add, by the transit trade, to the prosperity of every hamlet on the banks of the river. To withhold such freedom from a jealousy or fear of the prosperity of another nation, is rancour, not statesmanship. - Before we can barter the privilege against some other presumed advantage, we must commit an act of usurpation, and then sell what we have usurped. England, we maintain, has no more right, for her own advantage, to hinder the Americans, when they w ill, from floating their boats or ships down the St. John's, than she has to hinder their ships from entering the Mersey or the Thames. She has the power, but her own interest forbids her to exercise it. So it is with every State possessing the borders of a great river. It can stop every ves sel and prevent it passing, as barbarous Turkey may have done on the Danube, but the inte rest of its people, if not of its Government, for bids the exercise of such a power. We cannot give up such an opinion, because Mr. CANNING ,held the docteine that England might stop the Americans from using the St. Lawrence. Mr. CANNING was a Tory, and his opinion is no re commendation to us, whatever it may be to the writer in the Chronicle. We repudiate entirely the moral and international law on which one State claims a right to debar another, while they are at peace, from the free use of the great highways which nature has established for the commerce of mankind. The doctrines laid down by the Chronicle are worthy only of Prince ERNEST, and those who maintain the Stade dues. They are equally hostile to the benevo lent principles of free trade, and of all approved' morality. intentions. The country is now again happily restored to quietness. No other effects apparently remain of the late insurrection than the alarm it has ge nerated, which may be salutary or otherwise, as, under its `influence, wisdom shall work out pre cautions for the future, or passion, by the.inflict lion of punishment, shall seek present gratifica tion. The cessation of disturbances will at least give the Ministers an opportunity, undisturbed by clamour and unawed by violence, to devise measures for the public good. The turn-out was the symptom of a deep-seated disease. It re quires instant attention and powerful remedies ; and what, under such circumstances, are Ministers doing ? In their hands are placed all the power of Government, and they will hereafter be called to account for their present conduct in relation to the condition of the people. The summer has passed away, the harvest is abundant, a considerable supply of food has been introduced from abroad, prices are falling; but trade does not revive to any perceptible extent. Enterprise has not started from her sleep. Last week, probably, was as dull as most of its prede cessors. Indeed, employment seems decreasing instead of increasing, and those who have during the last two months found work in the fields, are not likely, we are afraid, to find it in the towns fur the next four. The report that a large ma nufacturerat Birmingham has begun to dimini3h his workmen in consequence of the American tariff, was thus mentioned at a meeting on the Corn-laws held at that town on Thursday last : They were, perhaps, well aware (said Mr. Swift, the Chairman) that one of their most industrious, re spectable, and, he would say, one of the best manu facturers in Birmingham, had been compelled to give notice to a large number of his hands ; that, in conse quence of the new tariff, he could no longer employ them.—(Hear, hear.) That was true, or it was not true.—(Hear, hear, and cries of "It's true.") Yes, it was true that Mr. James James, who for twenty one years had never been compelled todischarge one hand for want of orders, had now been compelled to send an immense number of poor creatures upon the world without the means of subsistence—(Hear ' hear)—solely on account of the Am er ic an tariff. 'The question then came, what caused the introduction of that tariff? He would say that it had been caused by the bad policy of our Government, by the laws which prevented the people of England from taking the corn of the United States in exchange for our goods. There was not a better conducted manufactory in England than that of Mr. James James (mid Mr. J. Hayman.) Attention was paid to the morals and comforts of the people in his employ ; and it must be a source of regret that such a man should be com pelled to turn his hands away. He had been credibly informed, that the day he announced his intention to his work-people, a very distressing scene took place ; and well the poor people might feel the loss of so kind an employer, if they even could procure .work from others; but that they would not be able to do. In fact, there was not a manufacturer then in the room who did not know that the whole of the heavy iron manufacturing trade, in this town and neigh bourhood, would be lost in the American market. None but immense capitalists had any chance at all of carrying on trade at present. The small manufac turers could not go on. Notwithstanding the importation of a few head of cattle, the measures of last session have failed to give the country any material relief, and something else must be devised. What do the Ministers purpose—what are they dOing? The Gazette informs us that they have issued a com mission to try the offenders; from the Court Circular we learn that they have held a Privy Council, and further prorogued Parliament. They have agreed, also, to a form of thankgiving for the abundant harvest. Lord STANLEY pre sented Sir R. WILSON, the new Governor of Gibraltar to the QUEEN; and the Earl of ABER DEEN performed the same duty for the Right Hon. H. ELLIS, ahout to proceed on a special mission to the Brazils. He may be of some ser vice to the people, if he be allowed to invite the Brazilian Government to good fellowship by pro mising a large reduction of the duty on Bra. zilian sugar, otherwise the expense of sending him abroad had better been spared. Such acts as these are the only visible signs known of time existence of Ministers; and we cannot flatter either ourselves or the pnblic that they - will much contribute to the restoration of prosperity. It may be right to issue a Special Commission to punish the offenders, but the Ministers will not half do their dUty if they only inflict' puniShment. Something more is wanted than imprisoning and hanging people for offences. That is an old and a very inefficacious remedy for disorders arising from deficient nutriment. No Minister can say, withont decrying his own office, above all Sir R. PEEL—who took office to remedy the public disorders, and would not pre scribe till he had been feed—cannot say that no remedy can be found for the present state of poverty and discontent. He is bound to find a remedy for our disorders, bound to make the people prosperous and happy, or bound to give up the Government. He and the craft of poli ticians profess that their object and intentions are to make the people happy. That is the trade to which they have been brought up, and they cannot say there is no remedy for the public dis orders, without abdicating, in fact, the functions of Government. Ministers seem to us to have no time to lose. The beggary in the country claims instant re lief; to effect anything of importance, a combi nation of all the good sense which exists in the public is necessary ; and to bring the public good sense into active operation, it must be roused and directed from head-quarters. sliding S scaleome liints have been thrown out that the that it will n slide out of existence. ehxats sselidd. en a little so successfUlly, ss I s t l . i t d h e e a c g o ai r n n- a l n a d ws m a o r r e e, to and e abolished next session, which will be justified by low prices, now is- the time to inform the public. At this period leases are renewed, and it will be a gross injustice t o the farmer should Sir R. PEEL contemplate any further reduction of du ties on tbreign agricultural produce, and not at once make known his intentions. We know not what the Government means to do; we know what ought to be done ; and we know also, what ever the Government means to do, it cannot, Whig and Liberal principles which the Chronicle is, now making., from supposing that it will ser ve , which we are assured it will not, the purposes of party. To those remarks, which have our e.,,rdial Concurrence, we must add that the Chronic/e, by arguing against allowing the Ame ricans to have the free and unconditional naviga tion of the St. John's to the sea, and by its de sire to impede the commerce of the United States, or levy tolls on it as it passes along that river, beyond what may be necessary to main tain the navigation, acts a great deal worse than the King of_HANovER. in relation to the Stade dues. He only asks to maintain such 7 , an ancient and onerous usurpation—the Chro nicle now to establish one. He seeks .7 to keep a fetter on trade — the Chronicle 'yould fix another. It would now establish the robber tolls o f t h e middle ages, and glories in it E SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 27, 1942, for its own success, too soon make known its The grand public dinner given to Lord Asti- BURTON in New York on the Ist—particulars of which will be found in another part of The Sun of this day—is a sign of the times, as re spects the connection between England and the United States, of the most ,auspicious import. The dinner was given at Astor House, and is described by the local journals " as one of the most important and interesting fetes that ever took place in America." Between two and three thousand citizens had previously been introduced to his Lordship at the Civic Hall, who warmly congratulated him on the fortunate termination of his labours; but indeed during the whole period of hisstay at New York, he seems to have been re ceived by all classes with the utmost respect and cordiality. To this agreeable fact Lord Asti istrivrox Makes allusion in his speech, dwelling on it with grateful emphasis, as a strong proof of the mutual attachment that—notwithstanding the differences that have from time to time arisen—still exists, and, in all human probability will long continue to exist, between England and America. " I am bound to state," added his Lordship, " and I do it with sincere pleasure, that I have met with nothing on the part of the authorities of this country, but the same earnest feeling of good will, and the same desire for honourable peace, with which I have myself been animated ; and amongst all the memories which I shall carry to the grave, none will be superior to those con nected with the last act ofmy life which brought me here, and which has so successfully terminated." There is an unaffected earnestness and sincerity of feeling in these few and simple remarks very unusual with diplomatists ; and they appear to have made instant way to the hearts of all who heard them. But the Americans seem from the very first to have been prepared to receive his Lordship with cor diality—a proof that his appointment was a judi cious one, though some of our Contempories thought otherwise; and that Sir ROBERT PEEL'S foresight did not lead him into error, when he calculated that Lord ASHBURTON'S commercial education, and plain, business-like turn of mind, would tell greatly in his favour with Jonathan, whose strong practical sagacity naturally leads him to assess such qualities at a very high va luation. The spirit displayed by all :present at the din ner to which we have been alluding, was of the most satisfactory character possible. The diffe rent speakers seemed to vie with each other in the expression of their delight at the prospect of a lasting peace between the two countries; and Mr. EVANS, of Maine, who took a part in the negotiations, warmly declared, " in the ma nagement of this Treaty there has been a frank nessan openness—an earnest desire to settle all difficulties without dissimulation, displayed on both sides, which, it seems, beyond a doubt, has laid the foundation for a long, a ; L isting, and a glorious peace. between Great Britain and America." Cheering words, and, we trust, prophetic 1 Two mighty nations like this country and the United States, who, between them, en gross almost the entire commerce of the world; who are constantly acting and reacting upon each other; and whom steam has brought into such close fellowship together, that one may be said to be the other's next-door neighbour ;—nations, situated like these two, and speaking, besides, the same language, glowing with the same generous love of freedom, possessing the same energies, and of necessity deeply interested in what concerns each other's welfare ; nations, we repeat, so situated, -- should never so much as dream of going to war, for it is a game from which—be the results what they may— both must rise up losers to a considerable amount. Peace—lasting peace between England and the United States should be—as it no doubt is—the fervent wish of every good man in both coun tries. Lord ASHBURTON'S mission has done much to insure this desirable object ; it has dispersed the dark clouds that some months ago hung over the political prospects of both countries ; and implanted in the breast of America a kindlier feeling towards the mother country than she has experienced for years . past. Thus thinking, we feel so charitably disposed towards Lord ASHBURTON, that we are almost tempted to forgive him for his past sins of apostacy, and to regard him as a disinterested public benefactor, even though he was once a Whig, and is now a Tory. passions and animosities of all classes have been deeply excited by the late turn-out. It con cerned a question that comes personally home to all the employers and all the employed in that large district. Juries are, as the rule, taken from only one class; and therefore we are afraid that it will be impossible now to find impartial jury men in Lancashire. We do not suppose that they will strain the law, .or strain their con sereilceS,bu t their minds are pre-occupied, and they will not give to the circumstances which influ enced the conduct of the workmen that conside • ration which they ought to receive, and on which depend much of the guilt or innocence of the parties: We are not quite convinced that even chang ing the venue to a different county, and appoint ing the COmMiasion to sit in Middlesex, for ex ample, could now ensure a Jury, to try questions concerning workmen and employers, with perfect impartiality, but we are pretty sure that it cannot be obtained in Lancashire. We throw no blame on the individuals, but on the Jury system, which, however admirable as a means of protect ing the rights of the people, and doing strict jus tice on all questions in which the people and the Crown come into conflict, seems nut well calcu lated to do justice in questions concerning wages and strikes, and the consequences of disputes between workmen and masters. Ap pointing the Commission to sit at Liver pool is perhaps as good a means to avoid these evils as can be found, but it will be, we are afraid, quite inadequate. By referring to the. subject, and putting jurors on their guard against their own bias, we may do some good ; and therefore we call on them to remember, that in the nature of things, on the subject of the late turn-out, they cannot hope to be impartial. Madridjournals, which we receive of the dates of the 17th and 18th, are more occupied with the circumstances of the late duel in Cadiz than with aught else. The Madrid Gazette publishes a circular of the Minister of Justice, enjoining the tribunals to prosecute duelling with the utmost rigour of the law. Appended to this document is an article recommending public functionaries" not to over step the limits within which the law has circum scribed them," and " never to enter into any polemique with the journals about matters of a& ministration." The Government had obtained an advance Of 2,000,000 of seals ; the one from the Marquis DE REMISA, and the other from SenorSEvILLANo.The latter requested of the Minister of Finance that his share of the loan should be distributed among the civil and military pensioners of the State. Senor GONZALES • had returned from San Sc- bastian. There was nothing certain as yet respecting the convocation of the Cortes ; but it was be lieved that it would take place on Nov. 1. The Government had appointed Senor Dio- NISIO VALDEZ Political Chief of Cadiz, in the place of the late Senor REISCII. Senor VALDEZ had occupied a similar post at Barcelona in 1841, and evinced considerable firtnneEs in the dis charge of his official duties. Cadiz was perfectly tranquil on the 12th. No fresh disturbances have occurred at Cadiz, but the situation of the province is anything but satisfactory.. Large bands of smugglers are still assembled near Alicant, and appear to set the troops at defiance. _ There a rumour of a project for overthrow ing the Government and re-establishing the Con stitution of 1812. The only chance of success for such a demonstration would be in the defec tion of some of the army. but the spirit of the troops is considered good at present, notwith standing the irregularity with which they are paid. No business on the Bourse on the 17th. The P hare des Pyrenees of the 21st instant announces that General ZURBANO had arrived at Barcelona, whither be had,been called by the Captain-General to give an account of his con duct towards a French merchant of the name of LEFEVRE, who had been settled at Girona for the last 23 years. A suppressed convent in which that gentleman had established a manufacture being deemed by General ZURBANO an eligible building fur a barrack, he ordered the owner to evacuate it without loss of time. M. LEFEVRE, who i* 73 years of age, having waited on the General, and applied to him for a delay of eight days before complying with that injunction, "ZURBANO received hirn in the grossest manner, and ultimately struck the old man in the pre sence of all the officers of his stall:" M. LESSEPS, the French Consul at Barcelona, on hearing of this outrage, immediately demanded satisfaction of the Captain-General, who lost no time in sum moning ZURBANO to that city. The Three per Cents. were done, on the lEth , at 20i for cash ; and the five per Cents. at 264 for cash, and 27 264 if at 60 days. The debt bearing no interest sold for 5 13-16, at 60 days. There was little business negotiated on the 17th, the. Three per Cents. having closed, at 211 ; and the Five per Cents. at 234, at 60 days. We believe no man ever was so cordially hated as Sir R. PEEL is by the Old Tories. They moved heaven and earth to raise a cry in his favour at the general election, and when he was fairly installed in Downing-street, they looked forward with great complacency to the mighty deeds .he was to perform for the extension of the Established Church, the protection of the agricultural interest, and the dominion of Oa party in Ireland which claims King ERNEST as their patron ; but on all these points they have been wofully disappointed. No Whig or Radi cal is half so bitter against this great Conserva_ five leader, as the old English gentleman, who gives daily that ancient and praiseworthy toast, "Church and State." The agricultural interest, however, appears to suffer more under his inflictions than all the others together ; for while Churchmen and Orangemen, and the whole race of Conservatives, only anticipate evil, the landlord and tenant actually feel the effects of his dangerous policy. The prices of cattle at all the late fairs haVe fallen ; enormous quantities of corn have been imported ; and when the 10th of October comes, and American pork is ad mitted at the reduced duty, the trade of the graziers and pig-feeders will be at an end. All these calamities, too, come upon them in direct contradiction of solemn statements of Sir R. PEEL, backed by the opinions of political economists. They were assured that no cattle could be brought from Spain, and that the number which could be introduced from Holland and Germany would be so small, that it could have no other effect on the English market than to keep prices steady ; yet they are pouring in from all quar ters, and, consequently, have caused a loss to the graziers of about 3/. a . head. " The new tariff, in fact," says a Tory journal, " threatens deqtruction to the agricultural capital and in dustry of England;" and the writer, therefore, argues that it will prove subversive of that agri cultural system on which the greatness of Eng land rests. The opinions of persons whocan advance such a doctrine require no notice, for it is a well ascertained fact, that but for the manufacturing interest, which gives rise to our vast trade and commerce, England would have been at pre sent only a fifth-rate Power. We feel no such alarm at the fall of prices, be cause it arises more from anticipation than reality, and when the panic has subsided prices will, in all probability, become more favourable to the farmer. In the meantime, the public in general will feel the advantage, trade will be encouraged by the cheapness of provisions, and another bond of union between this country and other States will be established. We have received the Paris papers of Friday and. Saturday. The American Treaty, and the desire for peace evinced by most European States, begin to produce a good effect even on warlike France. It appears from the Commerce that the French Government, confident of the maintenance of peace, contemplates great re ductions in the land forces, and that the effective force of every regiment of infantry Nv ill be re duced from 2,120 men to 1,800. According to the same journal, the Government contemplated forming a corps of Municipal Guards sufficiently numerous to constitute in itself the garrison of Paris, when the fortifications shall have been completed. The troops of the line would then be quartered itethe detached forts and in the fortified barracks contiguous to the enciente continue. An order appeared in a Supplement to the Friday's Gazette to hold the Special Commission which is now issued fbr the trial of offenders in Lancashire, at Liverpool. This order was made under an Act passed during the reign of the late KING, which enables the Privy Council to select places for holding" assizes and sessions. It seems to have .excited some surprise in Lancashire, and may occasion som e incon venience but if our conjecture as to the motives which dictated it be correct, it is deserv ing of praise. It probably spares some expense, the greater number of prisoners to he tried being in the Salford and Xirkdale gaols. But the principal motive, we apprehend, for the removal, was to secure as far as possible an im partial and enlightened Jury. If 1t can be found in any part of Lancashire, it will be in the neigh bourhood, w e should suppose, of Liverpool. We, own, however, that we are inclined to think that it will be impossible at present to find an impartial. Jury in Lancashire. The The notorious DEUTZ, whose name has been so odiouslfmixed up with the arrest of the Duchess of BERRY in November, 1832, had been arrested in Paris, and was on the point of being tried under a charge of mendicity and vagrancy. The unfortunate wretch, after squandering 500,000 francs, paid, him. for betraying that Princess, had fallen into the most abject misery. It will be remembered, that he, 'abjured Judaism, and was admitted .into the Catholic Church, under the auspices of the Duchess-of BERRY, who had even condescended to act as his godmother on his baptism. In 1833 DEUTZ returned to his original creed, and whilst his father lived he re ceived from hi m a mple means of existence. After the death of his parent he was obliged to have recourse to the charity of his co-religionists; but this reso urce at l as t failing him, he was re duced to b eggary, arres ted in the street, and lodged in a c h ar i ta bl e as ylum' The Comm erce statei that M. GUIZOT and Admiral DupEaRE were to leave for Eu on Saturday, to give an account to the KING of the result of the fi rst meet i n g of the Commissioners appointed t o exam i ne the different questions relative to th e gum tr ade, which took place at the Ministry of Marine on Friday. The Com mittee assembled under the presidency of M. GAUTIER, a Peer of Franco, and is said to have been attended by the Prince D JOINVILLE. The French linen manufacturers are very jealous of the favours granted to Belgium. The Constitutionnel proposes that the importation of linen front Belgium to France be limited to the average quantity imported in the last years, and the duty raised as soon as this quantity is attained in each Year. " The Cou rr i ep F ra ncais makes the following remarks on t h e AS lIII VRTO N treaty : We d o not bl ame England for having reesta blished, even at a considerable sacrifice, friendly rela tions with t h e United St a tes. We have never desired to see not of th ose who look w ith joy upon a tempest, in the hope of a war between the two countries, for we are ge e t u t t in w g a t s h i e io l t .e . remains of opi n i on t h at F r ance is , strong enough no t t o stand in need of.wea k ness on the part of her enemie s i itna anyin s :‘ o va f. y some wreck; an d we called. upon t o f avour The treaty w hi c h h a s just been c oncluded does not therefo re, cause • us any mortification. Th e F rench Goverra n the sol u ti on of t,'-sq existing differ ences, but we saw with pleas ure . t h at i t did nothing to envenom them. It, was necessary i n this case to abstain from rendering ourselves either ridiculous or odiou s ; and, by a very lucky chance, the policy of M. Guizot, which con sists in action, was in the present instance per fectly in accord with the true nature of events. Thus we do not blame the treaty. It is not our intention to Jay hold of it as a pretext for exalting the United States, or humiliating England. The denouement of this long and irritating negotiation may, however, serve as a lesson for our Government, and we have, therefore, a right to deduce the , consequences which appear to us to arise out of it. England had set up certain pretensions as td vessels navigating under the American flag. These preten sions, which were equivalent, to the right of search, ' are evidently abandoned by the treaty. It is merely declared that each of the contracting parties shall keep on the coast of Africa, for the suppression of the slave trade, a squadron of not smaller strength than 80 guns, and that the Commanders of the two squadrons may act in concert. This is the solution which we pointed out for France, and on which M. Guizot had the fault of not insisting. The example of the United States proves that/England is capable, whatever some persons may say to the contrary, of renouncing her pretensions to naval supremacy whenever she finds herself in presence of a . Government that refuses to yield to them. What Mr. Webster has .done,_ M. Guizot ought to have done. The treaty which Lord Ashburton has just signed is the most formal con demnation of that which M. Guizot signed on De ceniber 20, 1841." BOURSE—Pams, SATURDAY, SEPT. 24. First Highest Lowest Last Price. Price. Price. Price.

Er.smortE, SEPT. 18.—The ship William, Captain Coppen, from Dundee, which cleared out here to-day, on her voyage from Dundee to Naroa picked up near Lindesnas, nine Russian sailors, part of the crew of a Russian ship-of-the-line, who had been drifting about at sea foi- 48 hours on 100-s of wood. The captain saw the ship-of-the-line at the distance of three miles, and observed some men who had clambered up the sides. A Norwegian steamer was going to save the people. HANOVER, SEPT. 20.—Yesterday evening, for the first time since the Queen's death, the King appeared in the theatre, when the opera of Fidelio was performed. The joy of the public at seeing their Sovereign, after so long an interval, and just on his recovery from a severe illness, was expressed in loud acclamations on his Majesty's entrance. He, however, did not appear to be well, and stayed only till the end of the first act. —Hamburgh Papers, Sept. 23. HAMBURGH BORSEN HALLE, Sem 25. Bills. Money. Austrian 5 per Cents.

ISLIMMARY OF 14IEWS AND 4atibite ti4M11011) " Who runs may read.' • FOREIGN. A letter from Eu, dated Wednesday, says :—;=" The King, accompanied by the President of the Council, the Minister of Finance, Baron Humboldt, Generals Teste and Colbert, Colonels Dumas and De Tinan, his Aides-de-Camp, the Marquis de Strada, his Chief Equerry, the Captain of Engineers, charged with the military works going on at present, Messrs. Fontaine and De Cailleux, and several orderlyffi officers, set out for Treport at three o'clock. His Majesty went round the battery of that town, and then proceeded to Mers and examined the battery established there. Every where throughout his passage his Majesty was greeted with loud acclamations. His Majesty's health appears excellent. The prosecution against the Directors of the Paris and Versailles Railroad (left hank), founded on the catastrophe of Bth May last, is fixed for trial on No vember 22 ; more than sixty witnesses have already been heard by the examining Magistrate. The French King and the Royal Family will not return to St. Cloud before the 28th or 30th of this month. Marshal Soult, who is now at Eu, will re turn to Paris at the same time. The Duke d'Aumale will shortly go to Africa, to take a command. Orders to this effect were sent a week ago to General Bugeaud. A letter from Valencia contains the following state ment :—" Frightful storms have done immense da mage at Alzira and Carthagena ; quantities of hail fell, and some hailstones fell which weighed no less than eight pounds (octo libras). The Regent has ordered an inquiry into the extent of the disaster, and to give all possible assistance to the sufferers." According to a return of the proceeds of the beet root sugar manufacturers, published by the Minister of Finance, the number of manufacturers in France on the Ist of September last, was 400, the quantity of sugar manufactured during the season (1841-42) amounted to 31,234,954 kilogrammes, and the duties levied thereon produced 5,887,410 f. The manufacto ries increased by 11, as compared with th-3 nuniter existing in 1841. The adjudicati'm of the contracts for the third and last portion of the railroad between Paris and the Belgian frontier, within the Seine et Oise, from the Sanceron to the limits of the department, will be de cided on the 21st October next, at Versailles. Thus the first section of this northern road, extending from Paris to Creil, a distance of 41 miles, will be entirely contracted for. _ _ _ We learn from Brussels that the King caught cold on his journey to Ardenne, and has returned to Brus sels rather indisposed in consequence. His Highness Prince Michael Stourdza, Prince Regent of Moldavia, accompanied by the Princess, and by his brother General Stourdza, has just arrived at Brussels. The Prince came from Holland, and is going to Germany. The Sentinelle of Toulon states that General La moriciere had a slight affair with Abd-el-Kader, near 'Mascara, on the 30th ult., and on the following day a regular engagement, in which the Arabs, who are stated to have been more than 3,000 in number, were completely defeated. A letter from Toulon says :—" The departure - of the Prussian Prince Lyehnowski for Nice has taken place. The General, who was in the service of Don Carlos, arrived lately in the Venus frigate, from Bar celona, from which town he had been expelled. His intentei was to proceed to Frankfort, through France, but, in consequence of orders sent from Paris, he was conducted towards the Var, under the escort of a police agent, who was not to quit him until he had passed the frontier. These orders were executed to the leiter." The Observateur de l' Aisne has an account of a con flict which took place, a few days ago, between the French and German labourers employed in cutting the canal which is to form the union between the Aisne and the Marne. About ten men were wounded, and the house of the German foreman was pillaged. It was put an end to by the interference of the gen darmes, and the arrest of abeut 15 of the most violent. MONEY-TRADE-C OMIVIERCE. At Bradford, the merchants are active, and trade is steady. At Rochdale also business is brisk. At Halifax and Leeds there has been no alteration. Manchester is dull and unsatisfactory; and at Hud dersfield, owing to the New American Tariff, the demand for manufactured goods has been unfavourable. The late fire in Liverpool is the largest that has ever occurred in that city. As the great conflagra tion of the Goree warehouses in 1802, the total of property destroyed was estimated at 323,0001. The estimated damage of the present exceeds 500,0001. ECCLESIASTICAL. Out of tha number of civil bills, amounting to 1,500, entered for the Cork sessions, 50 are at the suit of the Attorney-General for tithe defalcations. PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS. After the first day of November next, all the side toll-bArs of the New Tinehley-road, are to be abolished. By this measure the road leading out of the Regent's park to Redmond's Swiss Tavern, and the road and side-bars leading from St. John's Wood will be free, and the toll commence at the turnpike near the former tavern. FINE ARTS. A deputation from the Committee of figured silk weavers of Spitalfields presented to the Duchess of Kent on Thursday last, through the hands of Sir George Couper, a handsome specimen of silk-weaving, being a portrait of her Grace from the engraving published by Cochrane. LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC. The Worcester Musical Festival concluded on Fri day, with Beethoven's sacred drama of Engedi, after being the best and most successful festival ever wit nessed there. The receipts for this year amount to 1,014/. 16s. 2d., being more than those of 1830, which then amounted to 1,005/. 13s. 6d., when the Duchess of Kent attended the meeting. C OtTRT-7,IILSHIONAIBLE., Her Royal Highness, the Duchess of Gloucester, arrived at Chatsworth on Saturday, from Ravens worth Castle.

The Marquis and Marchioness of Aylesbury are shortly expected in town from Tottenham Park, Wilts. The Marquis of Ormonde has left town on a tour. Lord Redesdale has been visiting his estates in Northumberland. The Earl of Cardigan, who went to Germany, to be present at the military manoeuvres on the Rhine, is expected to return in the course of the week. Lady Peel and family arrived in Whitehall Gardens on Friday from Drayton Manor. Lord Lyndoch left Stratton-street early in the past week, for his seat near Dunkeld, Perthshire. IVIISCELLANEOUS. According to statements collected by the police, out of a total number of 6,884 weavers usually employed in forty-one mills in the borough of Manchester, 4,873 were at work in the forenoon, and 5,051 in the afternoon of Saturday. The others are rapidly re turning to their looms, and are too few to cause any annoyance to those employed. At Bolton almost all the mills use in full operation. On Friday last, the Epping Agricultural Society held its anniversary meeting at the Place Inn, Epping. The stock was not very numerous, but the prizes for stock, produce, and industry amounted to 1391. Up wards of ninety gentlemen, at its conclusion, sat down to dinner. The salary of the High Bailiff of Southwark is to be reduced henceforward to 6101. per annum. In the course of Friday, twenty-five persons were received into the Liverpool Hospital, from the injuries sustained at the fire, three of whom are dead. The total liabilities of the various insurance offices amount to 350,000/. The Woodchester property, composing the princely estate of the Earl of Ducie in Gloucestershire, is to be brought to the hammer in the ensuing spring. It is stated that Parliament will not assemble till Tuesday the 28th of February, 1843, three weeks later than usual. We have heard that our military force in Canada is to be reduced immediately, and that, should the war in China continue, several regiments will proceed from America to the East. PLYMOUTH CORPORATION.—THE INCOME -TAX. — The Corporation of Plymouth wilt have to pay Income tax on upwards of 6,000 L per ) car, their revenue from the market, water, c Inventionary rents; &c., amounting to about that sum.
