No longer ago than on Wednesday last, the House of Commons resounded with the loud and prolonged cheers, first of the Whigs, and afterwards of the To ries, as their respective champions planted a telling blow on the sides of their opponents. All the Press was interested on the following day with the masterly though merely factious orations of Lord PALMERSTON and Sir R. PEEL, and commented on them, and pro mised to make them the text of many a lengthy leader. Mondarcame, and the two great speeches seemed to be already forgotten. The outstand of the operatives in the manufacturing districts, the alarming fact of an insurrection requiring to be met with troops and can non, and which at once stopped, though it may be, we hbpe, but for a moment, the welling source of Bri tain's wealth, has consigned almost to corn- f)lete oblivion the speeches which those great masters of oratory no doubt supposed were to live for ever. We are not aware that we can by any means represent more forcibly to the imagination the immense impor tance of the movement, temporary as we hope it is, in the manufacturing districts, than by the fact that it has almost driven out of the public mind, as if they had never been uttered, these two masterly speeches of two . of England's greatest statesmen. We are not, therefore, of those who would tree.' the great social insurrection of the North—for it is more an insurrection against the usages and practices of society than against any positive enactment—as a trifling matter. Whether the present eruption be sooner or later suppressed, the continual apprehen sions•which have been entertained for months, and even years, of some such movement—the length of time such a thing has been talked about—the warn ings that have been given concerning it—all conspire to show that it takes its rise from some deep-seated and permanent cause, which is not to be eradicated, though the symptoms may be alleviated, by the ordi nary political remedies of imprisonment, banishment; and death. The benevolent, though, we think, mis directed exertions of Lord .ASEILET and the inquiries of the Mine, Cominissioners- she researches of the Secretary of the Poorslaw Commission—the sta . tistical inquiries of scores of intelligent gentle men, all converge -to one point, and show a great niaips of persons living in ' Great Britain in c%le and daily communication with . one another, almost cut off from all sympathy with the classes above them, and having for the staple of their converse their own Misery and suffering, and the hardships and op pressions they endure from those above them. It is the ..existence everywhere in society of great masses of Men so circumstanced—with no respect for the law, with a dislike of their superiors, living in the world; as it is said, without GOD—though they have an abundance of priests—and liable tcybe influenced by the machinations of ambitions demagogues to their own purposes, which makes the social insurrection in the North, though it may, perhaps, be easily put down at present by the strong hand, a subject to us of momentous importance. It is not to be trifled with, nor can it be effectually cured by communication with the Horse Guards, or by any -precedent to be found on that file which Sir It. PEEL will, probably, exchrsively consult. lie, and the great majority of the middle classes, rely on the law, and follow its commands; but when he and tly persisted in divorcing the law from justice, they robbed it of more than half its power. Of itself*, the law is a mere piece oF spoiled parch ment, and it owes its vitality to public opinion. Now„ there is one great branch of the law peculiarly affecting the districts and the population at present disturbed, which has been—whether justly or not is beside the present question—denounced by a great num - ber of the middle classes, by intelligent ministers of religion, by the great body of the Press, as an iniquitous law. It has been held up in sermons, pam phlets, newspapers, and speeches, as equally a violation of tke revealed commands of GOD and natural justice. A deep impression haibeen made on the public mind, and law, in that instance, has become synonymous with injustice. To be effective it should be supported by the intelligent people as well as the Ministers and the army ; but throughout the districts where the dis turbance prevails, the law is considered to be the °awe of distress, of discontent, and of insurrection. There the law will be deprived of its power. Accord ingly we hear with regret, but no surprise, that several of the millowners of Manchester continue to pay their idle Hands ; that in Leeds many o f th e m iddle classes wish the insurrectionists Gco3 speed ; that in Staffordshire they have freely aiiitritiited tb - the sups port of the colliers ; that in Scotland many of them side with the Tura-outs, and supply them with food. Thus the law, by being divorced from justice, has lost ;ts moral power, and those who rely on it to cure this great disoler will be eg regiously deceived. On this account, seeing the reliance which our rulers and public writers still place on this broken staff, we should be filled with despair, if we did not notice a striking symptom of change and - coming improvement. The Press is taking the station which is due to it. Differing essen tially from the writers in the Times, the Herald, and the Post, we at the same time see with satisfaction that, casting off the trammels of party, or rather of faction, as The Sun has done before them, each of those journals is pursuing an independent con rse. They one and all refuse to be the too ls of any statesman. Not one of them is a Peelite. They think for themselves. That is a healthy symptom. They will soon get over caste prejudices, and prejudices of a by gone age, and look fearlessly at the present condition of society. They will seek a remedy in things not in words ; they will look to facts, not to precedents, to reason not prescription, which is only the reason of a, more ignorant age. They will soon see, and soon lead the public to see, that our country cannot be successfully governed by the sword, and they must, in common with all reflecting men, aid in putting down violence of all kinds, and in restoring, amongst the different classes, that love and respect for one another, and that confidence in the law, by making it just, without which England can not be either great or flourishing. We dare not hope for a speedy and happy conclusion to the pre sent difficulties, but we should wholly despair if it were not that the Press is casting off its party shackles, and is struggling to ascertain, freely and 'ettered, what is really for the public welfare. As :it is palpable that the greater part of the social phenomena, whether for good or evil, depend on the number of the people, and the relation they bear to the space at their command and the means of subsis tence, it is also palpable that those who undertake to limit and regulate the supply of food, must, at the same time, take measures for proportioning to that the amount of the population. We are not at all surprised, therefore, to find the landowners, who re strict the people to a limited space for obtaining their food, also taking measures to prevent the increase of people. It is certainly more humane to prevent births, if they can, than cause deaths, and we there fore are inclined to characterise as consistent the following circular, from Lord Filmic's EGERTON'S head steward, which has been sent, says the. Manchester Times, to the tenants on the Bridge. water estate : " Worsley, July 30th, 1842 -- The evils which an over-crowded population entails upon the poorer classes of society make it necessary to consider in what manner this may, with the most ease, and with the least interference with their comforts, be diminished gradually, and finally removed alto gether. There can be no doubt that early and ill considered marriages between very young persons is one great cause of these evils. Marriages contracted without forethought, and without any consideration as to the means of future support and maintenance of children. Such marriages should be discouraged for the sake of the individuals themselves, as well as for that of their parents and neighbours. Sash marriages receive great encouragement upon the Bridgewater Estate, from the parties being permitted to reside in their parents' dwellings after marriage, thereby producing other serious evils and inconvenience. It is, therefore, hereby intimated, that after the Ist day of October next, no cottage tenant shall permit any newly married son or daughter to take up their residence in their house, without leave in writing from Mr. Fereday Smith, or Mr. Robert Lansdale, as the case may be, or the tenant himself will be put under notice. Mr. Lans dale will fill up any cottage now vacant from those cot ;ages which contain more ,than one family, taking great care that the vacancy thus made shall not be filled up by an extra family or lodger. JAMES Loon.' The gentlemen of England must either watch over the breeding of the people as they do the breeding of their cattle, or they must abstain from meddling with their food and trade. We cannot think that they will find any encouragement to do this in the state of society, as in Russia, in parts of Sweden, and parts of Germany where such a principle has been acted on. Society in those countries is not so energetic, civilized, and moral, that the gentlemen of England can look for any great reward for taking on themselves this extra ordinary trouble. It is no doubt a vast, if not a noble ambition, to regulate the number of people within any given space, and, by a nice adaptation of mouths to food, promote the improvement of mankind ; but remembering how Lancashire was peopled a century ago, and that then no person dreamed of its present population, we infer that for such ambition to be wise it requires that it be directed by the prescience of a God. The important decision given by the House of Lords in the Auchterarder case, has set at rest the main question, which has agitated the Church a Scotland for the last seven years. Even the dominant party must admit that there is no alternative now but to obey the law. The question had received the most deliberate consideration in the Supreme Law Court of Scotland, and a unanimous judgment was given against the defendants. It had been twice argued in the House of Lords ; counsel, well acquainted with all the merits of the case, were heard for several days ; and four of the most eminent lawyers of thp day, Lord LYNDHURST, Lord BROUGHAM, Lord COTTENIIAM, and Lord CAMPBELL, also came to a unanimous decision that the Presbytery, or, rather, the General Assembly, for the majority of the Presbytery acted under its sanction, had wilfully disobeyed the law of the land, and must take the con sequences. There was no political feeling to sway the minds of the Judges in this case, as, fortunately, they belonged to both parties in the State—nay, the majority of them were Whigs, a class of politicians naturally disposed to view the claims of the people in a favourable light, and for more than a century al most identified with that portion of the Scotch Church which has from its commencement been ,opposed to patronage. In addition to these facts, the appellants cannot now have recourse to any higher authority than the Supreme Court of Law, as well as equity, the House of Lords, for by appealing to that Court from the Court of Session, they at once admitted its authority, and if they are not utterly destitute of common sense as well as common honesty, must abide by its decision. We cannot, therefore, conceive any judgment more enti tled to respect, whether we consider the long , •atid solem deliberation on which it was founded, the ability and honesty of the Judges, or the voluntary appeal of the parties themselves to the highest tri bunal of the country. The next step will be to remit the case to the Court below, which, of course, will send it before a Jury for the assessment of damages; and however much Mr. YOUNG, the presentee, may have suffered, both as regards his pecuniary interest, his public character, and his long exclusion from the sacred office of the ministry, we believe nothing like vindictive damages will be required. He has gained a peaceful victory, and, if found duly qualified, will be at once admitted into the bosom of the Church. It cannot be denied that that portion of the Church to which he belongs, have, during the whole of this unseemly contest, displayed great moderation, that they have ever yielded respect and obedience to the Ecclesiastical Courts, when act ing in conformity with the principles of that law from which the Church of Scotland derives its existence ; and that there is every probability when they have acquired their rights, they will use them with moderation and Christian charity. The other party, we trust, will act in the same spirit. They cannot fail to see the vast injury they have done, not only to the Church, but to the cause of religion in Scotland. They cannot carry on the contest with any hope of success against law and lustiee, and, we may add, against the repeatedly ex pressed opinions of both Houses of Parliament ; and if they wish, as they pray, for the peace of Zion, they imitate the example of their great Master, sub mit to the powers that be, and dwell with their bre thren in unity. This would give unmingled satisfac tion to the true friends of the Presbyterian Church. We have taken great interest in this affair from the commencement, and have invariably opposed the Veto Act, because we saw it was impracticable, and calculated to throw into confusion the most beautiful and useful Church establishment ever known in Christendom. We opposed it from our respect ,and attachment to that Church, and the endless divi sions it has caused ; the depositions of venerable clergymen to an extent hitherto unkn ow n, and the complete anarchy which now prevails in every Kirk Session, Presbytery and Synod, bear ample and me lancholy testimony to the sincerity with which we denounced the dangerous scheme of Lord MosrcarErie and Dr. CHALMERS'. We trust they will learn wis dom by experience, and now endeavour to make atonement for their errors, and heal the breach which Is caused such distress to the religious people of Scotland.

SIR ROBERT PEEL. - _ SUNDAY EVENING, AUGUST 14, 1842. SIR ROBERT While out this evening, I acciden tally passed a portion of the Birmingham Railway, where, observing an unusual number of people looking over the wall, I inquired the reason, and had for answer, " The soldiers are coming." I stopped with the others to see " the soldiers.' In a few minutes a noise was heard somewhat between a rumble and a rattle. The train slowly approached—it had not fairly started. 'Some of the poor soldiers had their caps out, attempting to cheer. Oh I it was a miser able attempt ! ! In what manner, think you, Sir Robert, were your helpless minions received ? I was attentively watching. The male spectators hissed and spit at them; the females were in tears ; one of the latter turned to me, and sobbingly said, " They are going to shoot the poor starving weavers ; but they can't help it, they must go, it's all P eel's fault. " When the train and the excitement had passed, all seemed to concur in the idea that the soldiers were not in fault, but that the blame and the blood would rest at the door of the man to whom the emolument of office was as nothing, the man who was content to "do the state some service," having in return the hallow of an " honest fame." God forbid that ever I should have such honest fame attached to my name. Honest !! ! Here is a specimen of your honesty. I give you, Sir, a statement of the rental of two or three farms, taken at random from a list which de notes the action in a national view. The farms here alluded to were all let in 1841, anal are situated in the parishes of Dunse, Fogo, and Chirnside, county of Berwick. Previous Rental. Rent al in 1841 First Farm £1,402 14 8 £2,006 14 0 Second l,OOO 0 0 1,350 0 0 Third Total Total increase £1,393 19 4 Here, Sir, we have an increase of upwards of X 1,393 in the rental of three farms alone,' which may be taken as a fair average of the rise throughout the United Kingdom. This I could prove by many , examples ' • the farms of the Duke of Marlboroug h in Wiltshire for one ; but you are aware of the fact. Now, Sir Robert, I ask you, from whence is this enhancement of rental derived ? I - pay to the baker and butcher 3s. per week mor e than I should have to do were the food not withheld by you ; the baker and butcher pay this 3s. per week to the rearers of corn and cattle ; the rearers of corn and cattle then pay it over to you, and such as you, as a portion of the 1,3931. advanced rental. Remember, however, Sir Robert, while you constrain me to pay this 3s. per week extra, you not only violate my only pro perty (labour), but you prevent my wife from buying many a gown and frock for herself and my dear children; those gowns and frocks not being bought, spinners and weavers starve, they cry for bread, and you send them soldiers by the Birmingham Railway. Sum this up. Filch from such as myself who are helpless, 3s. per week, stop the demand for cotton, &c., starve the spinners and weavers ; render them , desperate, slaughter them, and all for " honest M fame." Most respectfully-, A TIN-PLATE WORKER. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. CITY, MONDAY EVENING. Scarcely any business has been going on forward in the Funds to-day, and prices must therefore be con sidered to be nominal. Although the prices have )a de clined consequent on the accounts from the north, s till, from the smal uctuation, and the absence of any large operations , it ybe inferred that no great degree of apprehension exists of the results, while the mercan tile men deeply regret the circumstances which must necessarily occur before tranquillity be completely re stored. Consols were 914 91i for Money and the Account ; Bank Stock, 169 171 ; Bank Stock, 249 251; Exche quer Bills, Old, 51 53 ; New, 49 51 prem. The prices of Foreign Securities were—Belgian, 1014 1021 ;_ Dutch Two-and -a-Half per Cents. , , 51 1 52 1 ; the Five per Cents., 1011 1024; Danish, 82 83 ; and Brazilian, 65 66.

This has been the day for settling time bargains in those do cuments, but as transactions have been at an end since the withdrawal of the capital created by the forged Ex chequer Bills, it has not caused the slightest sensation. TO THE EDlTORa f terno o n , 0 A F T u / g / E u s t SUN. 14, Sunday 1842. Sir,—This morning, at the chapel of the Welling ton barracks, St. James's Park, the preacher dis coursed from the following text :- 11th verse, 14th chapter of the 2d Book of Chroni cles : " And Asa cried unto the Lord his God, and said Lord, it is nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power. Help us, Oh Lord, our God, for we rest upon thee, and in thy name we go against ells multitude. Oh Lord thou art our God, let not man prevail against thee." And he proceeded to exhort the soldiers to do their utmost in suppressing popular feeling, , and that what ever might happen through their instrumentality, however disastrous, it would never interfere with their future salvation.—Yours, MODERATUS. [We hope that this will be contradicted.—ED. Sun.] REMARKABLE AND UNPRECEDENTED FACT.—RA PIDITY OF STEAM NAVIGATION. The British and North American Royal Mail steamer, the Columbia, sailed from this port on the evening of the 19th ult., and arrived at Boston early on the morning of the Ist inst. The Acadia left Boston on the afternoon of the Ist, and reached the Mersey in the forenoon of the 13th inst.. bringing replies to letters dated Liverpool, July 19. The interval between sending the letters and receiving the replies to them was a few hours more than twenty four days. This is, we believe, the most rapid convey ance of letters between the Old and the New World ever known.--Liverpool Albion. - When the Teviot left Havannah sickness prevailed to an immense extent on board the shipping in the har bour. A large number of English and American Ves sels were there, and almost all with their flags half-niast high. A large number of officers and men had died on board. HAMBURGH MAIL. BERLIN, AUG. I.—lt is said that his Majesty the 1 King of Prussia during his visit to the Russian court, only once honoured the city of St. Petersburgh with his presence, and then stopped but for a few hours. Various conjectures, which, however, are not suited for publicity, are made on the subject. It is said that the interest manifested by the northern capital in the joyful celebration of the 25th anni versary of the marriage of its august sovereign, by no means answers the expectations, that were en tertained. The cause is alleged to be the discon tent of the Russian nobles who are displeased that the humane Emperor endeavours more' and more to civilise his people, because the despotic power which they have hitherto exercised over their vassals is thereby diminished.—Dufield Gazette. CASSEL, AUGUST 3.—The Commission of the navi gation of the Weser is to meet this year at Carlshafen. Deputies take part in the Conference from Prussia, Hanover, Ilesse, Cassel, Oldenburg, Lippe, Detmold, and Bremen. The Commissioners do not seem to expect much from the Conference. The expense of improving the navigation of the Weser would be very great on account of the number of shallow places which would have •to be dispersed, and this is the great obstacle to be overcome. ILticovEit, AUGUST B.—The King again left the capital this morning at eleven o'clock to pass some days at Celle. HADIDURGII, AUG. 11.—DUTY ON COTTON TWIST. —The Prussian State Gazette contains a remarkable article on the wishes of some cotton-spinners to raise the import duty on English twist. The writer ob serves that the very same complaint was made, and the same remedy proposed ten years ago; that a Com mission was appointed, to which the following ques tion was proposed :—" Can the cotton yarn manufac tories flourish and increase with the duty now levied on the importation of foreign twist ?" The answer of the Commission was, "No, they cannot exist with the present duty ; an increase of them is not to be thought of, as experience has proved." The duty has not been augmented ; and if this measure had been well founded, there should now, after a lapse of eight years, be no increase of their establishments in our country. Instead of this, we find that they are doubled—nay, that the increase took place at the very time (1835 and 1836) when all prospect of higher protection was taken from them, for some considerable time at least ; that this increase was effected by extremely costlyestablishments, partly by the same men, experienced and grown old in their business, who delivered and signed the above answer, and now repeat the same complaint. All these con tradictions are to be accounted for by the fluctuations in the cotton manufactures of Great. Britain, and the great difference in the price of raw cotton and those of yarn, The writer adduces various arguments to show that a duty sufficiently high wholly to render ineffectual the influence of England would inevitably ruin the cotton manufacturers, and that nothing could justify so dangerous an experiment, of risking important existing establishments which have proved beneficial to the prosperity of the country, in order to support others far less important, and which besides could not exist without the former. So far as is known the very great majority of the commercial authorities in the Prussian State, that have been consulted on this que stion, have declared against the augmentation of the import duty on twist.

Ten days of glorious sunshine have done more to forward the harvest than we ever remember. By the close of this week so considerable a portion of the wheat will be stacked in Norfolk, that little will re main, except on the coast. We are happy also to find that opinion with respect to that abundance of the crop rises. It seems now to, be thought to be a full average. The barley crop is very large, and the second clover wonderful.—Norwich Mercury. Lymg.--Throughout the whole of West Norfolk, harvest is now progressing with great rapidity, and should the weather during the week continue favour able, much -wheat, and a considerable qu antit y of barley and oats will be carted. The new wheats ap pear, for the most part, to be of good quality, and promise to be of greater weight, upon the average, than the wheats of the last harvest. Though in some , places the wheat is rather thin of plant, yet this seems, in many instances, to be -nearly compensated by the size and weight of the ears. In the Uplands of West Norfolk, the wheat is, perhaps, upon the whole, better than in t he Marshland district, and in many of those fields the wheat is backward, and will scarcely be fit to cut in a fortnight from this time. The barley crop in West Norfolk promises generally to be good, as does also the oat crop, and the beans and peas have a very fair appearance. —Cambridge Chronicle. The long-continued delightful weather has pre pared the grain for the sickle generally throughout this neighbourhood ; much has already been gathered in, and the remainder is in a forward state. The crops on the whole may be considered favourable — rather thin in ground, but good in the ear. By way of caution to 51eaners we mention an act of dis honesty by an individual of this town, who was de tected in carrying away three sheaves from the field, the property of Mr. D. Rutter ; he is now in custody awaiting the course of justice.--7 Somerset Paper. The harvest is going on very rapidly, and if the fine weather holds a few days longer most of the wheat will be cut in this neighbourhood. The crops are quite an average. Barley is also excellent, while the beans are looking luxuriant, and turnips are favourably progressing.—Cambridge Chronicle. Tun WEATHER AND THE CROPS.—We continue to enjoy excellent weather for ripening the crops, and we are glad to say that, in every district of Aberdeen shire, there is the prospect of an early and abundant harvest. In Buchan, the crop of oats and barley is rather light, having suffered a good deal from the grub ; but, in ithe upper districts, they have mostly escaped the ravages of this destructive insect, and pre sent, in general, a most healthy appearance.--Aberdeen Herald. Tan HARVEST.—The splendid weather which we have had during the last month still continues. In this neighbourhood several fields of oats were cut last week, and many have since fallen before the reaper. here and there wheat has been cut; but, generally speaking, it requires another week or fortnight's ripen ing to fit it for the sickle. A friend, who has lately traversed several parts of the southern division of the county, speaks of the general appearance of the crops as most promising, though thin in places, the pasture lands presenting almost the only exception.—Leeds Times. The wheat harvest in the neighbourhood of Aber gavenny is, become pretty genera l, and the son g of praise will be heard amongst our agriculturists for the bountiful harvest, and genial weather.—Monmouth shire Merlin. The hop-grounds around this town and the neigh bourhood present a very rich and beautiful appear ance. The bines are literally festooned with blossom, whilst the plantations have been less liable to aphides pove the e affording this year than has been the case for many years past. The crops look well, and r now the m pick ans in of g season is at hand, the harvest will remunerating employment to many industrious fami lies.—Hampshire Chronicle. THE HARVEST.—ReaPiIT in this country, is now general, and farmers are looking forward with much in some uations anxiety, as as we have bad some heav y rain durin g the week. All accounts agr ee that the cro p s, g enerall y speaking, are good, thoug h Taints are made that the plant is thin sit .—Canzbrian.m —"""--=...---,--------- MARSHALL'S FLAi MILL AT LEEDS.—The follow ing particulars respecting this stupendous building have -two iron pillars of the been furnished by an eye-witness, who has been per mitted to inspect it a few weeks ago.

Though the mining and manufacturing districts still continue in an uneasy and unsettled state, yet, on the whole, the intelligence received from them is of a more tranquil character than could have been hoped under the circumstances. The sea still runs high, but the tempest seems to have pretty well exhausted its fury, and we may shortly expect a calm. From Hanley, indeed, the accounts furnished by our Correspondent are, it must be confessed, somewhat ominous, and things begin to wear a gloomy appearance at Derby and Nottingham; but we have every reason to believe that the prompt and vigorous precautionary measures of Government will effectually, prevent any outbreak in these towns. As regards Manchester, all is quiet there ; and the proclamation of the civil authorities, warning the people of the illegality of their as sembling, under existing circumstances, in large masses, will no doubt have the effect of convincing them that to attempt to better their condition by means of a system of lawless agitation is an utterly hopeless task. The influence of Manchester is great throughout the manufacturing districts, and we may calculate with tolerable certainty on finding the tranquillity that now pervades this metropolis of the cotton trade extending itself to all the great towns of the north. Meantime it cannot be de nied that the' danger has been most imminent; and that we shall at all times be liable to its recurrence, unless Ministers take an early op portunity next session of adopting remedial measures of a far more directly efficacious character than any that they have passed in the session that has just closed. Something more is required than an Income tax, a Tariff, and a lame and halting Corn-law Bill, to tranquillize the minds of the working classes; and if Sir ROBERT PEEL, when next he meets Parlia ment, does not meet it with a firm and generous reso lution to abandon altogether the system of class legis lation, which has Already been productive of such a world of mischief, and to which vie undoubtedly owe the origin of Chartism, he will find that a spirit of disaffection will be roused in the country which it will be wholly out of his power to checic or control. We have received the French Papers of Sunday, but they contain no news, being chiefly occupied with the ipeeChes of Lord PALMERSTON and Sir ROBERT PEEL, in the House of Commons on the 10th inst., and the disturbances in our manufacturing and mining districts. The Committee of the" amber of Deputies appointed to examine the Regency Bill, held its third sitting yes terday. It heard the Marshal President of the Council,. the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and Keeper of the Seals, on the whole of the clauses of the Bill. The Committee adopted unanimously two amendments, the first to the effect that the Regent shall take the oath, before enter ing on his functions, and by a solemn document inserted in the Bulletin des Lois, the oath shall be repeated before the Chamber ; the second amendment reduces to forty days the time within which the Chambers must be con voked. The Committee will meet to-day (Sunday) to hear the report of M. Dupiti" ' which will be presented to the Chamber on Tuesday. The debate may, therefore, begin on Thursday. The Committee for inquiring into Elections is summoned for to-day. The Deputies of the ,wine-growing countries met yesterday, M. Zesmeres presided. At the meeting there Were representatives of the following departments : the two Charente, the Gironde, the G and, the Yonne, the Herault, the Var, the Saone and Loire, the Upper Rhine, and some others. The meeting decided that a committee should be appointed to collect all the docu ments necessary for the examination of this important branch of French agricultur6, an-1 to make to the Go vernment all the representations which circumstances may require, and which may lead to put an end to the distress of the wine departments.—Le Constitutionnel. The Ministry, it is said, hesitate to publish a pretty considerable series of supplementary and extraordinary credits, calculated to alarm the Chamber as to the state of our. finances. We have already seen how many millions were asked by the Minister of Finance. We will add, that for the war department, the supplementary credit for Algiers exceeds twenty-six millions. It is said that, after the Regency Bill is passed, the Chambers will be prorogued till the 15th of January. The Minis try, we see, are resolved to take advantage of the facilities which the Opposition prepares for it, by setting aside all political discussion.—Le Commerce.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS, CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. Besides the published accounts from the country, which are most copious in The Sun of to-day, the contents of • the private letters have been eagerly sought after. From these it may be gathered that the differences are likely soon to be arranged. One gentleman, whose avocations have obliged him to visit most of the districts in Lancashire, writes— " Matters have become more quiet, and scarcely any apprehension is now felt ; the generality of the people from the first were averse to the movement •, and, although labour is still suspended, it is expected that all causes of complaint between the men and the masters will be satisfactorily adjusted to -morrow, or this day. (Tuesday). The intelligence from Liver pool gives a very melancholy account of what must be the effect on trade, if the present system be persevered in. Vessels are detained, and labourers discharged, in consequence of the non-arrival of cargo, all which had been previously ordered, and should by this time have been received. Business in the produce market here, as well as among the warehousemen, is virtually suspended, and the quantities of goods forwarded into the country Saturday and yesterday, were smaller than had been known for years.

SUM ARY OF NEWS AND V tibia OP into IL " Who runs may read." FOREIGN. The Levant Mail brings news of an expected im provement in trade at Alexandria, on the arrival of the crops, and the establishment of prices for the Shiflik produce. The projected canal through the Isthmus of Suez has been favourably reported on to Mehemet Ali by Colonel Gallia Bey. Large com missions fdr machinery have been given to Captain Engledue by the Pacha, who has also made some new and very excellent regulations, whereby the bag gage of English and' other passengers by the steamers will in future pass through the country uninterfered with by the Custom-house. Arif Pacha has been displaced, and Raouf Pacha, formerly Grand Vizier, appointed President of the Cc uncil. The Malta letters of the sth inst. contain no news. They state that the officers of the navy would, by order of Admiral Owen, go into mourning for three days, as a tribute of respect for the late Duke of Orleans. During the same period the colours of the fleet were to be hoisted half-mast high ; the yards to be " topped on end," the peaks to be pointed down wards, and the grand march in " Saul" to be substi tuted for the National Anthem. The illoniteur publishes . a Royal ordinance, dated the 13th inst., directing, in consequence of the com mercial treaty concluded between France and Bel gium on the 16th ult., that the Customs' offices situate along the land frontier, extending from Dun kirk to Longwy inclusively, shall cease to be open for the export of flaxen and hempen yarn and linen of the manufacture of a third country, in transitu, through France. The weather continued to be magnificent in Paris, but extremely warm (86 degrees of Fahrenheit in the shade). Notwithstanding the superior quality of the wheat the -failure of the oat and barley crops had occasioned a small advance in the price of flour, and a proportionate augmentation in that of bread. The accounts from Madrid are of the 7th in3tant. The Gazette publishes a decree of the Regent fixing the standing force of the army for the present year — namely, infantry, 67,177 men ; artillery, 7,828 ; pn gineers, 1,239 ; cavalry, 13,760 men, 11,730 horses ; reserve 40,000 men. PUBLIC OPINION. The Chronicle remarks, in a leading article, on the the subject of the riots in the manufacturing districts —" Every day we see more and more reason for be lieving that those formed a correct estimate of the present disturbances, who 3aw in them only con fusion. Resistance to authority is not to be appre hended. But though the movement does not threaten the horrors of political convulsion, and there may be no , immediate violence beyond the ability of the police and military to control, we cannot shut our eyes to the causes which led to the movement. The out break may be quelled, or the storm blow over, but they must regard it very superficially who think that we shall then have arrived at the end. The disease is too deeply seated for its cure to be in ferred from the repression of• one external symptom. And we are yet waiting anxiously for that repression to be accomplished. To keep such a subject from en grossing the thoughts is impossible, even were it de sirable. And yet its discussion is difficult with any chance of a good result. Negatively, however, the path is plainer. There are suggestions and remarks of which the mischievousness is not at all problema tical. For instance, the intimation that the recent reduction of wages is a needless attempt of the master 'manufacturers to prolong the popular distress, is an assertion so gross as to imply the densest ignorance in its belief—if it be believed—and so noxious as to indicate the foulest wickedness in its iteration." The Herald says :—" The outbreaks in Lancashire have, it is to be hoped, spent their violence and passed their climax. But just in proportion as tranquillity is returning does the desire to trace their origin, :primary and ultimate, increase ; as danger is disap pearing, so does the necessity augnient of knowing why the public peace has been endangered, and why the seat of the cottan manufactures has been the scene of a quasi insurrection. The most searching investigation, the most fearless and impartial inquiry, must be at once instituted and prosecuted, regardless of all consequences. Months ago we warned the Legislature and the Government that the general ignorance as to the moral, religious, social, and physical con dition of the manufacturing operatives was a dangerous experiment—that such condition formed a subject of inquiry far mote worthy of royal commissions and reports than the infinity of costly blue books that had been published—and that the deplorable heathenism of .Lancashire and Cheshire would not and could not come to good.' We then stated that the preservation of peace and good order, through the instrumentality of charity and public subscriptions, would fail, and we over and over again declared that there was no reliable safety for society until the State should attempt to make these operatives as good Christians and citizens as they are unrivalled artisans. The investi gation, then, that we desire to have immediately commenced should not be confined to these riots and disturbances—should not be limited to inquiries into their causes, progress, and the suppressive efforts of the authorities—these are certainly matters for inves tigation which must not and cannot be delayed—but it is, we repeat, unwise, impolitic, and unsafe to hesi tate in ascertaining the state of society which exists in these districts—their political sentiments, organi sation, and designs—their trading combinations and objects—their lawless thoughts and anti-social doc• trines—and their educational and spiritual destitution." We take the following from the Times :—" The latest intelligence from Manchester is, on the whole; of rather a favourable description. The presence of the military appears to have prevented any further act of open violence, though the turn-out still continues. Meanwhile the orators of the Anti-Corn-law League and the teachers of Chartism continue their endea vours to convert the strike on the part of the work-people into a demonstration in favour of their own interested views. It seems that they have been essaying, but ineffectually, to seduce the turn-outs ' into - a resolution or- resolutions not to return to work until the objects of the Charter are conceded. Now, when things were in the state in which they were last week, when resistance to the authorities had been carried even to bloodshed; and the deluded victims of the demagogues of Chartism and the League were in the act of suffer ing the punishment which those leaders themselves most truly merited, it might have been expected that these dastardly fomenters of this unhappy outbreak would• have had the decency not to thrust themselves and their doings too 'prominently upon public atten tion. But this has not been the case. While the rioters are actually in collision with the authorities, the subtle instigators proceed to promulgate a docu ment in the shape of a summons to attend a public meeting, of which the treacherous cowardice is only to be equalled by its mischievous malignity." The Post says t—" Some apprehension is, we per ceive, entertained at Manchester that some desperate effort will be made by the turn-outs to-day, which is, it appears, the anniversary of Peterloo. We think the recollectioh is far more likely to inspire a disposi tion to quietness ; for the authorities have shown a de termination, should the same necessity arise, to do their duty fearlessly and vigorously in the present instance, as their predecessors did theirs on the occasion alluded to. The arrangements made by Government for strengthening _the hands of local authority have been judiciously conceived and carried into effect. with a degree of promptitude and vigour that is calculated, by its example, to inspire the Magistracy with a determination to discharge their duty with effect, wherever tumult or insolent defiance of the law shall dare to rear its head. There is now no cause for subordinate authorities to speculate on the hope of applause from the State for showing sympathy with riot, or to dread the censure of their superiors tbr manifesting a stern determination to put it down. The days of such feelings, and of the paralysis they must always occasion, are fortunately at an end." MONEY—TRADE—COMMERCE. At the meeting of the Londorrirran7l — junction Railway, held yesterday in B as i ng h a ll s t ree t, it ap peared, from the Report, that the accounts for the half-year exhibited a balance in the Company's favour of 3,5651. 175., after payment of 5431. 11 s. 11d. for general expenses. All operations have, however, long ago been abandoned, and it was proposed that a special meeting should be convened, in order to dissolve the Company. PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS. The Ordnance survey of Limerick is completed, and with such precision as to exhibit distinctly the site and position of every house and tenement in the respective parishes. Captain Stothard, Royal En gineers, with the gentlemen and artificers under him, have now left Limerick to proceed with the Ordnance survey in England. ELECTIONEERING. It is said that Lord Chichester will retire from the Belfast election. The Ipswich nomination took place on Monday, when Captain Gladstone, Mr. S. L. Fox, and Messrs. Vincent and Thornbury advanced themselves as can didates. _ _ LAW AND POLICE. A Mr. Henry Bailey was put upon his trial at Dublin last week for bigamy. His first marriage in 1831 was celebrated by a Presbyterian minister, and the second in the Church of England. He had cal culated on the invalidity of the first, but as both the parties were found to be Dissenters, the marriage became lawful. He was aceordingly sentenced to seven years' transportation. John Tyler, an elderly man, was charged at Wor- ship-street, yesterday, with being concerned with another in burglariously breaking into the dwelling house of Mr. George Savage, an appraiser at Bethnal green. He was discovered by the brother of the prosecutor, who driving by at the time, when no one was in the house, observed a light in the drawing room, which, upon his knocking, was immediately extinguished. The door, a few minutes after, opened, and the prisoner and another rushed out, Mr. Savage capturing the former. Several rooms were found to have been ransacked, and the prisoner was committed for trial. Sarah Woodman, the young girl who stabbed her brother, was yesterday admitted to bail at Union Hall, and remanded till to-day. SPORTING. Partridges and grouse are reported to be very abun dant around Newcastle this season. COURT-FASHIONABLE. The Duke of Wellington left Apsley House yester day for Windsor Castle. The Earl of Aberdeen arrived in town yesterday, from a visit to Lord Haddo. The Earl and Countess of Chesterfield left town yesterday for Cowes, Isle of Wight. The Marquis of Kildare has left town for a tour in Scotland. The Marquis of Salisbury was last week on a visit to Viscount Beresford, at Bedgebury Lady Ashburton and the Misses Baring are at the Grange, Hants. Lord and Lady Francis Egerton are shortly ex pected in town. IYLISCELLANHOUS. The sale of the furniture, china, &c., has proceeded at Shugborough-hall during the last iree days, and produced good sums. The sale of last Thursday, the tenth day, realised upwards of 1,300/. ; that of Friday nearly 1,1001., and that of Saturday about 6001. The largest purchaser of the furniture appears to have been Colonel Anson. London-bridge is at present closed to vehicles, for the purpose of repairing it, w hich will be accom plished in the space of a fortnight. NCR LAW INTELLIGE SECONDARIES (THIS DAY.) Mr. Secondary PorrEn sat this morning in the Com mon Pleas Court, in the Guildhall. The Learned Se condary was engaged die whole morning in hearing cases of disputed account, of no interest except to the parties concerned. BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY). Mr. Commissioner Holroyd was the only Commis sioner who sat at the Bankruptcy Court to-day, and the cases which came before him were of trifling importance. The following notice has been posted in the Court : "I do order that the books of the Accountant in Bankruptcy be closed from the 20th day of August instant to the 4th day of October next, and that during that time no draft for any effects shall be signed and delivered out, nor any purchase, sale, or transfer of any stocks, securities, or effects, be made by the ac countant in bankruptcy, for or on account of any bank rupt's estate, provided that the said accountant be et liberty to sign orders or check s for dividends, in such case as may appear urgent. (Signed) " LYNDHIJRST." INSOLVENT CO URT—(T HIS DAY.) IN RE WILLIAM AUGUSTUS JAMES. The insolvent was a boot and shoemaker, carrying on an extensive business in Exmouth-street, Clerkenwell, and also having another establishment at No. 1, Union street, Middlesex Hospital. His application to be dis charged was supported by Mr. Cooke, and opposed by Mr. Woodruffe on behalf of two creditors, named Bright and Shaw. It appeared from Mr. Bright's evidence, that ha bought the insolvent's interest in the house and business in Union-street, the latter covenanting to pay a portion of the rent and other demands on the premises. Mr. Shaw was landlord of those premises, and judgment having been issued against the insolvent upon the Sheriff levying execution, the goods and stock were found to bo taken possession of under a previous execution, issued by Mr. Wm. Cleaver, for the sum of 2831. The Learned Counsel, in opposition, contended that this latter execu tion was not bona fide, and that the insolvent had said, if his creditors refused to come to, a settlement with him, he would pay them at the expense of the public, by coming into this Court. The evidence was then gone into, upon which the in solvent-was taken back to prison, the Learned Commis sioner having refused to enlarge his bail. IN RE THOMAS SKINNER. The insolvent, who had been already heard in Court, and the particulars of the case reported in The Sun, came up for judgment this day. The Learned CHIEF COMMISSIONER, after expressing his opinion that the insolvent had been guilty of gross fraud, and regretting that the most stringent provisions of the Act could not ,be enforced against him, finally ordered him to be discharged. POLICE INTELLIGENC MANSION-HOUSE.—(THIS DAY.) Win. Hooten was finally brought up before Alderman Gibbs this day, on the charge of robbing his employers, Messrs. Pugh and Co., manufacturers, Rood-lane, of 2641., under circumstances which have been already de tailed at length in The Sun. He was committed to the next Sessions of the Central Criminal Court; to take his trial, and the parties were bound over to prosecute. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) ASSAULT UPON TILE POLICE.—Two ruffianly-looking men, named Leonard and Pugh , were char g ed with assaulting the police in the execution of their duty. Police-constable 83 F stated that on Sunday morning, about half-past one, he saw two females fighting in Great Wild-street, and proceeded to take them into custody, when Lennard came up, and rescued one of the females, and the mob rescued the other. Witness then endea voured to take Lennard into custody, but he used consi derable violence and escaped. He afterwards obtained a warrant for his apprehension, and on proceeding to put the warrant into execution, the other prisoner, Pugh. was very violent. A crowd collected, and in the affray which ensued, other constables were wounded. • Pugh denied having had anything to do in the matter. The other prisoner said nothing. Both the policemen swore positively to Pugh's iden tity, and Mr. JARDINE remanded the prisoners till Mow. day next, for the attendance of the other constables. UNION HALL.—(THIS DAY.) Charles ,Wateer was charged with stealing an opera glass and a gold ring, the property of Mr. John Coul bourne, a wine and spirit merchant. The complainant stated that he met the prisoner at a tavern the preceding night, and afterwards slept .with him at his lodgings, but that he got up early in the morning, and the glass and ring had both disappeared. He was seen a short time afterwards, and apprehended in Drury -lane. The prisoner, who denied the charge, was remanded. Charles Jobson, a Smithfield drover, was charged with committing a violent assault on William Smith. The complainant observing the defendant treat a sheep he was.driving with great cruelty, said he deserved to be ' punished for his conduct. The defendant immediately struck him a severe blow with along stick,which knocked him doWn.—The defendant was tined 203. and costs. THE MARIs,ETS.—(THIS DAY.) • , COLONIAL MARKET. There was no activity in this market, but upon the 'e whole a steady business was done, and little alteration / occurred in prices. The market was much better op plied with West India Sugar, which produced rather. Ai flatness in the trade, and in some instances sales were, made on lower terms. TEA MARKET. • • .' The low qualities of Congou and Twankay were in• quired after, and several parcels changed hands at fall prices. The market was indifferently supplied withpareale.l TALLOW MARKET.

Tho price of admission to this delightful summ er evening lounge is now reduced to one shilling. Last evening was the first of the season in which the Gardens have been thrown open to what John Wilson Croker calls " the shilling public." " The shilling public" testified its approbation of the new arrangement by a very numerous attendance. The gar dens were brilliantly illuminated. and shortly after eight o'clock the concert commenced. This was succeeded by the equestrian performances in the Rotunda, in the course of which Mademoiselle Caroline elicited thendcrs of. applause by her series of elegant and grace f u l exer cises on two horses. Why are not these equestrian e%' erciscs exhibited in the open air ? There is ample space in the gardens for an arena, and the Ro tunda is so small, that not half of thus It, who visit the gardens can find accommodation in and of those who do, the greater portion repent than of their good fortune before the performances are over. . and are even more desirous of getting out, on a ccount, of the suilbcating heat, than they had been °I getting in ; but such is the close packing, that e gress is impossible. After the equestrian perfortuan es came the wonderful slack-rope exercises of the "Flemish Sprite of Antwerp," decidedly the first slack-rope pe.r' former that has appeared s in ce the days of Antonio. The most extraordinary performance of the evening, 1 / 115 the ascent on the inclined rope of Julie Dyke. This young lady who does not appear more than sixteen years of age , ascended a rope stretched from near the ground to t ho top of one of the tallest trees in the Italian Walk, amidst an explosion of fireworks. .llcr performances are most wonderful. The conflagration of Hamburgh, with a brilliant display of fireworks, concluded the evening's entertainment. During the course of the evening Herr Joel, the German Siffleur, gave his ilium.' tions ; and there were bands playing in different p art ! of the grounds. It would add much to the attractions of this delightful place if a few more benches and seats were provided in the open air. The gardens were crowded. ---- Ousely Higgins, Esq., and the Hon. W.
