TO CORRESPONDENTS R 0 The Gentleman who writes to us from 43, Bedford-row is mistaken. Right or wrong, the account to which he refers was supplied by our reporter, a gentleman who could have no motive for misrepresenting what occurred, and could knOw nothing of the transactions but what was stated either by the learned judge or the counsel. Of course we can , only be expected to give a fair report of the observations, made in the Court, and although we are sorry if any mis representation has gone forth to the public, the fault cannot be ours. Nothing could be further from our wish than to injure or give pain to any one. "*. Irljr LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 3, 1834. The Tories are all thingi to all men. At the very time that the Duke of WELLINGTON opposes the admission of dissenters to Oxford and Cambridge, and his friends in the Uni versity are perfectly frantic on that subject, Sir GEORGE MURRAY tells the electors of Perth shire that " he claimed for every sect and per suasion the full enjoyment of those opinions they might prefer in regard .to religion, and of those forms of worship which might appear to them best fitted for carrying on their devotional • eXercises. He claimed, also, that there should be no exclusion whatever from official situations on account of religious opinions. With reference to the question at present under discussion in Parliament—the admission of Dissenters into the English Universities—he held that free ad mission ought to be given to all sects, as well as the members of the Established Church." Well done, Sir GEORGE. But what say your friends in the House of Lords ? They threaten to throw out the bill. The detailed statement we furnished yester day of the plans and designs of the trades' union, as laid down by their leaders will serve to satisfy any reflecting workman that they must fail, and that all confidence i n their framers is misplaced. The committee assert in the first part of their address that— " The paramount necessity of a unity of action by the unions, on well-defined plans, is rendered evident by the state of our brethren in Derby, to relieve the unfortunate condition of whom is indeed one of the principal objects for the consideration of this meeting. It must be a matter of deep regret to all of us, that no arrangements have yet been made calculated for the permanent, profitable employ of the turned-out ope ratives of that place : as it appears to this committee, that had the unions been consolidated, they would have placed those men ere this, by one simultaneous movement, beyond the reach of their merciless op pressors, and have put them in a position whereby they would soon have been enabled to commence re paying the amount which might have been advanced to them." They proceed, after the adoption of the ad dress, to choose by ballot an executive council of five, and to order ‘, That a levy of one shilling each member be imme diately ordered upon all the lodges in the consolidated union, for the purpose of raising a fund to employ the men of Derby and other places in the most profitable manner that can be devised ; and that the Birming ham committee be requested to act in conjunction with the executive council in London in the disposal and management of such fund." Having made this . order, and thereby induced the poor men at Derby to con tinue idle, how have they repaid their con fidence ? By refusing supplies; and thus compelling those who might, ere this, have obtained the means of permanently improving their condition to sue for employment to the masters whom they had ill-treated and defied. If the fifty thousand men who assembled in Copenhagen-fields had worked on that day, they might have given the produce of their labour to their dupes at Derby ; and so they would, if they had felt any real compassion or tHm. But no—their leaders find it more desirable that they should exhibit their power in a show, and the poor men of Derby_ the men who had trusted to their honour are sacrificed. The whole"scheme will end as suc cessfully as that at New Harmony did. Its only effect will be that of uniting all who have land capital and credit, in order to counteract the designs of those who have neither, and who never can have any, until they cease to be the dupes of those whose conduct proves that they are as vain as they have been hitherto mis chievous. We advise the working men to take care of their time, their situations, and their money, and to part with neither without some better security than such as the Executive of the Unions can offer. Let every one take warning from the fate of the Kidderminster and Derby workmen. As to land on lease, who will let it to men avowing such objects, and banded together to injure their more industrious or more fortunate neighbours ? Nothing of public interest occurred in the House of Lords last night. A desultory con versation took place between the Earl of WINCHILSEA and Earl GREY On the subject of a letter said to have been written by the Marquis of ANGLESEA, and recom mending the abolition of the Irish Church Establishment, in the course of which Earl GREY commented in severe terms on the breach of confidence which had given such a letter to the public. On the motion of Lord DURHAM, witnesses were examined relative to the borough of Warwick, after which further proceedings were adjourned till Tuesday. In the House of Commons, Sir JAMES GRAHAM confirmed the tidings of the death of the African traveller, LANDER, and pro mised that a rigid inquiry should be instituted into the case. The second reading of the Poor Laws Bill was postponed till Friday. We confess that the arguments of the Irish members against the Tithe Bill are totally un intelligible, but on the supposition that their secret object is to abolish tithes, and put the amount in their own pockets. Most of them professedly admit that they have no such in tention, that the tithes are public property, and cannot belong to the landlord ; yet, in the same breath, declare that government cannot levy them, or enable the laddlord to levy them. In other words, that the landlord must reap all the advantage. These members would do well to consider the position in which such ar gument places them. Opposition to tithe may be turned into opposition to rent, and supported with as much consistency. The Irish owners are proverbially bad landlords—they have em ployed middle men to screw up the rent of the poor tenant to the utmost pitch, and they know well that in most cases the rent is so high that it cannot possibly be raised. That is the secrect of their opposition whatever may be their open argument. A vast proportion of the land is let from year after year, and in all farms where this is the practice the land lord can lose nothing by the change if the tenant is not already overcharged. Un der such circumstances he will find no more difficulty in obtaining an increase of rent than he would in a general rise of the price of grain. But he knows the rent is too high, and therefore joins in the cry against the bill. It would be unfair to throw on him the payment of tithes on farms held on lease, but most of these farms are large—they are held by a more respectable class than the yearly tenants, and but for this clamour of interested parties little difficulty would be found in inducing them to pay the landlord instead of the clergyman. After the . fair proposition brought forward by Government, opposition to the payment of an equivalent for tithes can only keep up agitation and injure the land owners more than any other party. If a law which they admit to be founded on just princi ples cannot be enforced, then there is an end of civilized society. Universal plunder and anarchy must ensue. The Government will persevere in the measure, and will be supported by every friend of justice and good order. The French PaperS of Thursday contain a report of the continued discussion in the Cham bers relative to Algiers. Marshal SOULT, on the part of the Government, asserted that they had no idea of giving up the colony. How ever, the grant out of which the debate arose has not been made. M. DUPIN is reported to have said in the Chamber of Deputies, " And when the war shall break out, as will inevitably be the case, it will be a serions one, not a petty war of con quest, but one in which every nation will have to contend for its last stake. It is not Algiers you will then be thinking of ; you will be too happy to have at your disposal the 30,000 men now employed in that country. It is not for Algiers you will have to ship them from Tou lon, but for Italy." Marshal SouLT's demand of a million and a half sterling, for the maintenance of 400,000 men, was agreed to. The report of the Minister of Finance, which was prepared by M. DUCHATEL, condemns the existing Custom-house system, and recom mends a considerable diminution of the import duties on wool and sea-borne coals. The de bate respecting Algiers was adjourned. Thursday, being the KING'S birthday, was a holiday. The German Papers contain the following announcement from Vienna, dated April 21:— " The Russian troops will now evacuate the princi palities, and Count Kisseleff, hitherto President of the Divan, will return to St. Petersburgh. It does not yet appear to be decided whether the installation of the hospc . Klars shall be performed by a Turkish Commis sary, or whether Count Kisseleff shall be charged with it. The nomination of the hospodars is an important event, which will serve to remove the doubts that have been entertained in France and Eng land, relative to the East. It affords a proof that the Russian Government does not entertain those ambi tious views concerning the principalities with which it has been reproached. VIENNA, APRIL 22. Metalliq ues , 97, 19-32; Four per Cent., 87, 7-10 ; Bank Stock, 1,243. Allgemeine Zeitung, April 27. The Brussels Papers contain the report of a debate in the Chamber of Representatives relative to the conduct of the Government. The proposal for an address, condemnatory of the Ministers, signed by Messrs. ERNST and Dußois, was negatived by a majority of 51 to 27, and 51 to 32. M. D'ABBEw, the agent of Donna MARIA, for recruiting her army, has given notice, that the general depot at Ostend is suppressed, and the enrolment for the army discontinued. The articles supplied have been paid for. The Ottoman Government have given no tice that the Island of Samos is to bt shortly blockaded. The abundance of the last harvest furnishes an apt illustration of what the home-grower suffers from the operation of the present law. Though the price in the present year is ruin ously low to him, yet it is still too high as compared to the price in foreign countries, from the absence of our demand there to enable him to export. He therefore can get no relief, as he did previous to 1815, from exportation, and as he might have done this year, if it had not been for the operation of the present law, for there has been a great scarcity in Russia. It is not impossible also; that before the expira tion of the present year the price may be as high as it was last year, with no benefit, however, to the home-grower, whose situation under the present law may be further illustrated by his situation in less abundant years. Deprived of his capital by a previous competition with the foreign dealer, which he has been unable to sustain, he cannot hold over until the price shall rise, but must bring his grain early to market, in order to have the means of paying his rent, and of carrying on his business. Thus, in 1827, though the average price of wheat throughout the year was 565. 9d., the February price was only 535. 4d., while the August price was 60s. In 1828 the yearly average was 60s. 5d., but the price in January was only 51s. Bd., though it rose to 765. 7d. in Decem ber. The following year began with 725. 10d. in January, but the price fell to 535. 7d. in October, but rose to 555. 6d. in December ; while the average of the whole year was 665. 3d. The year 1830 was the worst of all. The price was 545. 4d. in January ; rose in August to 725. 7d., but fell to 595. 4d. in October, giving an average for the whole year of 645. 3d. The year 1831 was not much better, but the state of the fluctuations was reversed. The price was 665. 2d. in January ; rose to 725. 9d. in February ; but fell to 575. 4d. in December, with intermediate fluctuations ; while the ave rage of the whole year was 665. 4d. It is these fluctuations within the year which de stroy the home grower. Nevertheless, as if in mockery of his distress, the Agricultural Committee of 1832, tell him that the present law gives him steady prices, and adverts to these last three years in evidence of its assertion, when the fluctuations within the year were so great, because, forsooth, upon the average of the whole three years, the prices differed only 2s. from each other. The present law, which allows our great de mand to reach places abroad only by fits and starts has increased fluctuations there as well as here. Thus, in January, 1829, wheat, as appears by our Consuls' values, was at from 555. sd. to 635. at Leghorn ; from 60s. Id. to 675. 6d. at Marseilles ; from 375. Bd. to 425. Id. at Cadiz ; and from 565. 2d. to 83s. sd. at Lisbon ; and in other parts of France, which has a worse corn law than our own, in July, 1829, when the price of wheat was from 48s. 3d. to 655. Bd. at Caen, it was from 525..6d. to 565. 4d. at Brest ; from 465. 1 ld. to 535. at Nantes ; from 475. 4d. to 50s. 3d. at Charante, and from 445. 9d. to 51s. 6d. at Bordeaux. But at Dantzic, from whence- we derive our chief supply, the fluctuations have been still greater; and here we resort to Mr. MUN DELL's table. With the exception of the pe riod from 1794 to 1806 (when a great derange ment was occasioned by the heavy bounties given upon importation and the mission of agents by the Government to purchase corn abroad), the price of wheat at Dantzic from 1772 to 1815 was never 12s. under the price in England. But from 1815 to 1830 the fluc tuations were as follow:-In the five years end ing in 1820, the highest price in England wa s 945. 9d., and in Dantzic 925. Id., while the lowest price in England was 655. 7d. and in Dantzic 425. Bd. In the five years ending in 1825, the highest price in England was 70s. 7d. and in Dantzic 365., while the lowest price in England was 395. 11d., and in Dantzic 18s. Bd., and in the five years ending in 1830 the highest price in England was 50s. 9d., and at Dantzic \ lBs. 10d. The effect of these fluctuations being to ren der the growth of corn a hazardous occupa tion abroad as well as at home, it cannot be otherwise than that capital will desert the culti vation of the soil and then apply itself to manu factures. This consequence, perhaps, may have sug gested to Prussia the policy of breaking down the obstacles occasioned to commercial inter course by the custom-houses of the n umerous petty states around her, in order that, by in creasing her manufactures, she may have an in creasing internal demand for corn. Very grave considerations are thus presented to our manufac turing as well as agricultural interest, that s hould lead both to examine the policy of the present law, which prevents our great demand for corn from raising the price abroad as it does at home, and the necessity of recurring to the principle of the laws which prevailed before 1815, which, in place of endangering our manufacturing su periority, as the present law does, served to se cure it, by making our great demand for corn the means of maintaining it, by inducing grain ' growing countries to continue to apply their capital and labour to the raising of corn in order to supply the demand. Yesterday, their Majesties, accompanied by their Royal Highnesses the Duke of Gloucester, and Prince George of Cambridge, attended by the Duke of Devonshire, Lords Frederick and Adolphus Fitz clarence, Lords Albemarle, Errol, Farnborough, and Denbigh, Lady Clinton, Miss Hope Johnstone, Miss Wilson, Miss D'Este, Sir Henry Wheatley, Sir John. Whatley, Sir Andrew Barnard, the Hon. Mr. Hay, Colonel Bowater, and the Rev. M r . W oo d, v i s ited the Exhibition of the Royal Academy. They were received and attended through the rooms by the Pre sident, Council, and Officers. THE OATH OF THE UNIONISTS.

And may God keep roe steadfast in this my most solemn obligation, THE PUNDB.-(111IS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. A Jamaica mail has arrived, brought by the Lapwing, which sailed on the 18th of March, being only three days later than the first arrival. Papers, by the above conveyance, have been received at the North and South American affee-house, to the March, but their contents are unimportant.

(From the Paper of April 2.) " LEGISLATURE OF NEW YORK.—SIX MIL. LIONS OF LOAN. " Mr. Morris, from the joint committee, to whom the special message was referred, made a report respecting the charges of the Governor against the United States' Bank, and concluded with a bill for the creation of a five per cent. State Stock, amounting to six millions of dollars, re deemable within twelve years. Four millions of the Stock are proposed to be loaned to the banks in the city of New York, and two millions to be sent to the loan offices in the different parts of the States. This subject was made the special order of the day for to-morrow. " Bank Shares at New York, 104 1 /." The Montreal papers, to the 27th of March, do not contain any news of interest. The Halifax Journal states that it is the intention of his Excellency Sir Colin Campbell to sail for England about the Ist of April. THE FUNDS. At present we have no arrivals from Portugal. The French journals by the express, are entirely void of any foreign information • but, by all accounts, the defeat of General Quesada is confirmed, which, no doubt, will cause much anxiety at Madrid, and encou rage the Carlists with more confidence in their future at tacks on the Queen's troops. Consols, which left off yesterday at 92 1 4% for the Ac count, opened at 92%, at which price they are at present. Spanish and Portuguese securities, are a shade lower than yesterday, the former at 77, and the latter at 76 3 4 77. HALF-PAST ONE. (From the New York Papers received this morning.) LATE FROM LAGUNA.-The fourth Constitutional Congress met on the 20th January, but did not form a quorum until the 24th, when the following decree was ratified by the Senate : First--That the 218th article of the constitution in vites strangers, of whatever nation, to take up their abode in Venezuela. Second—That religion is an essential part of civil liberty, which the same constitution secures. Consols have continued steady during the morning at 9214% for the Account. In the Foreign Market Spanish and Portuguese con tinue the favourite speculations. The former is 37 to l 4, and the latter 77% V I . Letters are in town from Bilboa, of the 26th ult., and from Madrid of the same date, but they dO not communicate any political news. (From the New York Mercantile Advertiser, March 31.) Removal of the Deposits in the Senate : Resolved—that the reasons assigned by the Secretary of the Treasury, on the removal of the money of the United States deposited in the bank of the United States and its branches, communicated to Congress on the 4th Decem ber, 1833, are unsatisfactory and insufficient—Yeas, 28 ; Nays, 18. Resolved—that the President, in the late executive pro ceedings, in relation to the public revenue, has assumed upon himself authority and power no t conferred by the constitution and laws, but in derogation of both. The question being put—Yeas, 26 ; Nays, 20. No fresh arrivals. We have this moment a report of an express from Madrid, bringing an account of - a battle fought between the Spanish and Miguelite troops, in which the former were defeated. This is only report at present. THREE O'CLOCK Consols for the Account, 92 1 % %. The General Steam Navigation Company's mail packet, the William Jo from Hamburg, ar rived off the Custom-house at half-past five yesterday afternoon. PERTHSHIRE ELECTION.—On Tuesday last the nomination of candidates for the representation of the county of Perth in Parliament, took place in front of the County Hall, Perth, where hustings had been erected for the accommodation of the candidates and their friends. The Hon. John Stuart Wortley proposed Sir George Murray, and Mr. James Wood seconded the nomination. Mr. Robert Graham was proposed by the Hon. Fox Maude, and Mr. Nairne, of Denismorne, seconded the nomination. The two candidates then addressed the meeting at great length, after which, on a show of hands, several thousands were held up, amidst great applause, for Mr. Graham, but scarcely one for Sir George Murray. Further pro ceedings were adjourned till Thursday, on which day polling commences at nine o'clock. _ _ _ The Carlists implicated in the riot of the Calle de Toledo, in Madrid, have been sentenced to the galleys.—Morning Herald.

BOLTON.--A strike has taken place in se veral of the mills of this town, in consequence of an attempt to reduce the wages of the spinners and dressers.—Stockport Advertiser. TRADES' UNION.—We are informed that a deputation consisting of two tailors, from the Grand Consolidated Trades' Union, London, visited this town on Satu r d a y l as t, on t h e even i ng o f which day, on Sunday, and on Monday morning, meetings of the operatives of different trades took place, and, during their stay, nearly 1,000 men were initiated. The meetings were strictly secret, the door of the meeting house being kept on the outside by two sentinels, and not even the landlord of the house or any other person, except members, were admitted.—Hull Advertiser.

ATTACK ON THE POLICE AND MlLlTARY.—lntelligence of an alarming riot, in the neighbourhood of Drum colloher, has reached town this morning, The par ticulars, as far as we could collect them with accuracy, are these :—ln consequence of the resistance which had been experienced by the Rev. T. Locke in the collection of the tithe-composition due to him, that reverend gentleman found himself under the neces sity of applying to the proper authorities for assist- _Alice. Accordingly, a strong force of police and military, under the command of our active chief magistrate of police, T. P. Yokes, Esq., proceeded yesterday to the lands in question, where, shortly after, multitudes of the country people began to as semble, expressing their determination to prevent any seizure from taking place. In defiance of the firm and friendly remonstrances of Mr. Vokes on the folly and illegality of their proceedings, they carried their audacity so far as to assail the police and military with a volley of stones, which they quickly repeated. The latter were ordered to load ; but this instead of inti midating their assailants, only increased their fury. In their own defence, therefore, the party had to fire on the multitude, and the result has been a loss of lives among the country people, to the extent of twenty or more, according to report ; but this, we trust, will prove an exaggeration. Mr. Vokes was struck several times with stones ; nor is it yet ascertained whether he has escaped without severe injury.—Limerick Herald of Tuesday. THE MAGAZINES. ASIATIC JOURNAL. There is a more than ordinary spirit and variety in this month's Asiatic. " The Origin of the Story of Shylock," which is traced to the East, is curious, though the story has had so many fathers; the West as well as the East having put in its claims of pater nity, that it is impossible to say on Which the order of affiliation should be Made. Italy, we fielieVe; fias the best right to the story ; at any rate her right is pi - escriptive, and should not at this time of day be disturbed. For ages past the East has been a ' sort of Foundling Hospital for all traditions of un known or doubtful origin. Whenever historian, philosopher, or antiquarian has been unable to assign the true locality of any curious legend or custom, he has invariably given it an eastern origin—an easy mode of getting rid of a world of research and difficulty, which *e cannot too Warmly recommend:. Sir Wni. Jones tried it to adtaritage in his theory of the Trinity, which he settled much to his comfort (after having got many a headache by foolishly and unavailingly poring for the subject) by marrying it to the Hindoo Trimourti. On the whole, we have been more pleased with this number than with any that has appeared for months. LADY'S MAGAZINE. The great recommendatory feature in the num ber before us, is the portrait of Mary, Queen of Scots, which is very richly and gracefully coloured, and the countenance of which is marked by infinite sweetness and delicacy, dashed by a shade Of rtieiah choly, such as Scott has remarked on in his fine romance of the " Abbot."

It was intended to macadamize the street, but the intention has been abandoned, and it is to be handsomely paved, and the obstructions which interfered and retarded its progress being now re moved, it will be finished without delay. The two houses that abutted opposite Charles-street are taking down, so that Tavistock-street and York-street, when the improvements are finished, will be in a straight line, and the present unsightly obtrusion will be re moved. This improvement will cost 70,000/. LIFE OF THE LATE MR. SALT.—The bio graphy of the late Consul-General of Egypt, now on the eve of publication, is derived from original docu ments confided to Mr. Halls, the personal friend of Salt. The volumes will be rich in letters to and from many of the distinguished personages of the day ; and will include a narrative of Salt's life from his early days to his death, embracing his remarkable adventures in Abyssinia and Egypt, with an account of his im portant discoveries in the latter ancient country, his transactions with Mahommed Ali, and his intercourse with Belzoni, Caviglia, and other eastern travellers. The life of Salt will, perhaps, be the most authentic and important work connected with Egypt which has ever been published.
