THE ALDERMAN AND THE BURGLAR..--On Sand iy morning, betwee n the hours of four and five o'clock, the family of Mr. Alderman Pirie, who are at pment sojouraio g at. one of the villas in Park-place, 1 Gravesend, were al amed, by the noise of some'person eadeavouring to effect an entrance into the houte. The JAlderman, who was one of the first to hear the noise, instantly got out of bed, and with the assistance of a i man servant, in a few minutes captured a man in the ii act of,,k rcing an entry , and Lad him sa f e l y l o d ge d in the statiOb-hous e in the ma rket-place. In the ( of the m orn i ng t h e wort,- , course Alderman visited hi s pH soner, who did not bet.pa Olt: slightest smtoms of fear for th e consequences. whic y h must result from p the situation in which he had placed himself, but with much willing ness told a tale of his sufferings arising from long illness and the impossibility of his obtaining employment, which made him lately reckless of the world. Several combining eircuenstance g stamped his tale with truth. The Alderman asked should he be forgiven would he have any objec tion to seek that employment abroad which he in v e i n I attempted to procure at holne—if so, a vessel in which he (Alderman Pirie) had some interest, was off the town (Gravesend) bound for S ydney, and he would send him on board to make himself is useitil to the Captain as possible, and that the Captain. •should be furnished with an intro duction that would, procure bins employment at Sydney should his cond.. A ct on board deserve it. The poor fellow hailed •:ile boon with gratitude, and the Alder man having procured his release from the Resident Magistrate -of Gravesend, Mr. Justice Oakes, he fol lowed up. of good work by sending this object of true Christi sr. charity to an outfitter to rig him for the I voyage., which cost him 101. or 121., and he was in a Pkori time after placed on board the outvvard•bound v-esse. An article from Gallicia, in the National, states that the corn crops in that country have been nearly dos,froyed by the overflowing of the Vistula and the Dniester, caused by heavy rains and the melting of the snow. In some parts the country had the ap pearance of a sea. The inhabitants are said to be almost in a state of famine, bread having risen to four times its usual price, and the scarcity being increased by the presence of 30,000 troops near Leopold, for a review which was to take place on the 25th ult., and at which the Archduke Francis, brother of the Empe ror, and the Archduke Ferdinand d'Este, were to be present.

THE LONDON AND WESTMINSTER PURE WATER COMPANY.. The procuring of a plentiful supply Of Vrholeitisne w. ter, so ardently desired by the inhabitants of this metropolis, and so long sought by the scientific, encouraged by the Legi, attire, is now on the eve of attainment. A plan for obtaining pure, soft, and cheap water, will be laid before Parliament in the ell , suing Session. This plan is partly original, though the place from whence the supply will be taken was pointed out by the late Mr. Telford, who, however, saw only one source of supply, where two are now, by 'e3tperiment, shown to tekist. During his time the local possesors of the land were hostile, they are now friendly. Those sources of supply are at a height stICIA , cient to bring the water by its own gravity to all partt of Lon don and Westminster, It is not necessary to prove the defective quality and high price of the water at present supp li ed. The Legislature, in 1828 and 1834, took evidence of the former —every House holder feels the latter. The London and Westminster Water Company, by uniting capitalists holding large shares with con sumers holding small shares (with special privileges), will speedily improve the present system. Details of such shares and of deposits will appear in the prospectuses before the end of the month. Directors will be elected from the Committee now in the course of formation, (being qualified Shareholders,) and further information may be had from W. S.

Our readers must, we believe, have shared our astonishment at learning that the Bank of England on Thursday came to a final resolution to reject in its discount business all paper of any description bearing the signature of a bank of issue, whether private or joint-stock. They could not, however, he surprised at further learning that this resolution of the Bank has caused alarm and indignation through the whole of the manufacturing districts. It throws discredit on a large quantity of paper already issued. It lowers in va ue a considerable sum of money—for drafts and bills with which people pay debts are equivalent to money—already in circulation, and must nflict a proportionate injury on all those who hold that paper. It singles out one species of mercan tile instruments which are generally current, and For no reason, except that these instruments bear .he signatures of rival establishments, it depreciates hem in the market, and inflicts a loss on a great number of persons. Now, by what right does the Bank so decry any mercantile paper ? We shall, perhaps, be asked, why should not any one Bank be at liberty to discount or not any paper that is offered to it ? 'Why should we, or any public Journalists, call into question the right of the Bank to manage its own affairs just as it pleases ? Therein lies the gist of the whole matter. If the Bank of England were a private body we., should never trouble ourselves about its mode of managing its business. But the Bank of England is not a private body, and because it is a public body, because it has received certain privi leges and a certain monopoly, it is bound to act in accordance -with the principles on which it is by legislation established. All credit springs from commerce, using that word in its most extensive sense. It is based on future production, or - on commodities hereafter to be brought to market. In no shape or form does a particle of credit issue or spring from Government, which produces nothing, and will have nothing hereafter to sell. The notes or Exchequer Bills it issues on revenue to be hereafter paid, is a false credit; because all the credit which can be justly and properly taken on its revenue, is in reality taken on the commodities which are brought to market to pay it. Thus, all real bona fide credit springs from commerce. Now the Bank of England, from greedy avarice has demanded, and the Legislature from stupid ignorance has given, the Bank, not a strict and perfect, yet a very extensive mo nopoly of the issue of these credit notes, and made them a legal tender, which commerce requires, which commerce puts into circulation, and which are essential to its very existence. It is the pos session of this monopoly greedily, and unjustly asked, and most inconsiderately and unjustly be stowed, which gives to the Bank duties, and to commerce claims on it, which do not belong to any private trading establishment. , In accepting the insidious privilege, it binds itself to all the conse quences Every class of trad e s men , private bankers, joint stock bankers, and all others, have an equal claim on commercial credit, proportionate to their means, or to the commodities they are to circulate, or hereafter bring to market. They have a right to demand their share of the Bank. To exclude any one class is to proscribe that class of traders. The Bank lessens their profits, and in this age of com petition must, in the end, extinguish them. It takes on itself a power of encouraging or discou -tu which, if exercised bv / At the annual m L eti ng of the Darlington Agri raging a p art i cu l ar tra d e , the Government, would scarcely be tolerated, and cultural Association ; held on the 7th instant, and is not to be borne in a body of traders.

At one time the Sio►ises engaged in the American trode are its victims, at another Banks which issue notes of their own, but it strikes ail alternately to the earth, and like camp followers, a vile crew, it chtithes itself with the spoils and plunder of the slain. The Bishop of EXETER, in his Visitation Charge at Honiton, made the following state ment : In civil affairs it was considered necessary that the parties whose duty it was to sit in judgment upon them, and to determine upon, or to reject, measures regarding them, should be really conversant with the nature of the questions at issue. But as it regarded the Clergy and the affairs of the Church, it was singular that such knowledge was not deemed requisite ; and could the results of such a system be therefore a matter of surprise ? For instance, let them suppose that in a council of war a number of Clergymen were introduced for the purpose of deliberating and determining upon some important military question. Was it not more than probable that the conclusion they would arrive at upon a matter with the details of which they were un acquainted, and of the nature and circumstances of which they were utterly ignorant —was it not more than probable, he would ask, that in a council so com posed the public interests must suffer ? And yet the circumstance's of that case were not more incongruous, nor could the consequence s likely to result from it be more pernicious, than in the case of a body of laymen, or of naval and military officers, assembled to sit in judgment upon, and pretending to legislate for, the affairs of the Church, ignorant, as they must necessa rily be, of all those minute points connected with them which essentially tended to render that Church effec tive. The Bench of Bishops was the Council of the Church, which could never legitimately be composed of men, who, whatever their pretensions might be in other respects, were unlearned in the high ecclesiastical matters so frequently submitted to their decision. The Bishop made several other statements of con siderable importance, but we shall at present con. fine ourselves to this one. He doubts and denies the competency of the Legislature, composed of a body of laymen, to provide for the Church ; and claims for the Bench of Bishops, learned in high ecclesiastical !natters, to be the exclusive Council of the Church. He compares the Church to the Army and Navy, and states that it is as incon gruous for laymen to meddle with the affairs of the Church as for clergymen to decide on a naval or military question. There is, however, a wide dis tinction between the Church and the Army or Navy. The Church embraces, and the word means, the whole congregation ; the Army and Navy are but a small section of the whole community. They are particular professions, the peculiarities of which are known only to the members; but the t lurch is followed by all, her doctrines are voluntarily offered to all, and all by the offer are made the judges of them. The Church is not for the priest hood but the people. In one sense the Church and the Army and Navy are exactly similar; the Anglican Church, like the Army and Navy, is the offspring of legislation ; it dates from an Act of Parliament, and, like them, is intended by the Legislatu re t o e ff ect a public s erv i ce. T hough the Legislature might not set itself up to judge whether a naval or a military operation were well performed, it never lays aside the privilege of de ciding whether the Navy and Army answer the pur pose of defending the country, for which they are constituted ; and if the Legislature finds that they do not, it remodels them without hesitation. In this respect the analogy is perfect; and the general Legislature —that body which called the Anglican Church and the Navy and Army into existence, and that body alone, can judge whether the Church, and whether the Navy and Army, have answered the purpose for which they were created, 'one was endowed, and the others are paid. The Bishop, however, would have the Acts Of EDWARD VI. and ELIZABETH tO be final and unalterable flaws, or only allow them to be altered .. as the clergy, who usurp the name of the Church, or rather as the Bench of Bishops—a still narrower body, that usurp the same comprehensive dictate. If by the term Church the Bishop means doctrines, no Legislature can alter them ; they must flow from principles which are eternal, or from facts which are irreversible. They are the logical offspring of mental. perception—they are thoughts clothed in words, and can neither be dictated nor altered by positive laws. When something, like the rubric and like the service and constitution of the Church of England, has been fixed and sanctioned by law, that, of course, can be altered by the same power that sanctioned and fixed it ; but doctrines, whether in religion or mathematics, laugh to scorn the im potent fetters of the lawgiver. But what the Bishop means by the word Church is not doctrines, not the whole congregation, including the priest, but the priesthood alone ; and such being his mean ing, he claims for the Anglican priesthood a power of making regulations, not only for themselves— though that wou ld b e arrogant enough—b u t f or the whole congregation, and for all the high eccle siastical matters which concern the temporal mo rality and the eternal welfare of the whole people. We shall look closer at this assertion on some other occasion, in reference to the commands and example of CHRIST, who never arrogated to him self an independence of the civil authority, but humbly and submissively bowed to its decree s ; at present we shall content ourselv es w i t h asking Tory politicians whether they countenance the arrogant claim of the Tory Bishop to set aside their authority ? The assertions are not confined to the Whigs, but the whole Legislature, Tory as well as Whig, is described as incapable of making-. regulations for the affairs of the Church. By n ow countenancing such ambitious claims, the Tories: may possibly embarrass the Whigs, but they will; elevate the clergy to authority equal to that of the' LegiSlature, and render all legislation on 'ecelesias. tical matters impossible, how wide so ever they may extend. Such will possibly be the inevitable result of a Church Establishment, placed under a Legislature composed of men of various and conflicting religions. Fortunately for the wel fare of society, no day now passes that does not render more and more certain the inutility of such an Establishment. The recent Revivals in the Church of 'England, at Oxford, and Exeter, in Bedford-row and Clerkenwell, as well as the more recent Revivals in the Church of Scotland, while mysticism. in literatur e and po litics, as well as in religion, is overspreading the land, are fast disabusing the mind of that last pre judice on which Church Establishments had fixed their hold—namely, that they prevented fanaticism, and preserved a decent and' orderly train of religious thought and of worship. corn. Our Contemporary has, before now, been warned against confounding the nominal with the real wages of labour, the price with the reward of labour. We are sorry to see him misleading himself and his readers by such a want of discrimination ; but we protest against his ascribing to us the assertion, that because labour is high p►iced, in our food-taxed country, that the reward of labour is increased by the tax on the labourer's food. Moreover, wP nowhere said, " that the Corn-laws raise the wages of agri cultural labourers to the level of the increased price of corn," and it is not honest to ascribe to us words that v< e did not use: Letters and Papers From Madrid of the 7th inst have been received. A highly interesting' account of the scenes which preceded the confirmation o thefueros will be found in another column. The French journals of Monday, are more an usually barren of Foreign or domestic news of any interest. The Commerce says that it was reported at Besika Bay, (the rendezvous of the combined French and English fleets at the Dar. dandles) that the Prince de JOINVILLE had ob tained a firman to pass the winter at Constanti nople, with the Belle Poule frigate of 60 guns. A correspondent of the Edon eur states, that the English are detested at Constantinople, and are frequently pelted with stones by the po pulace, while the French on the contrary are prodigious favourites with the most orthodox iViussulmans. A French officer being mistaken for an Englishman, was recently insulted, but when the Turkish rabble discovered that he was a Frenchman they made him a very handsome apo. logy I If the reader ask do we credit such a state ment, we answer at once, not a syllable. It is a mere sop to satisfy the cravings of national vanity. In a similar style a Correspondent of the Tou lonnais, writing from Besika Bay, under date of the 26th ult., thus disposes of the Eastern question : " What do the Russians want ? To invade the Ottoman empire. What do the English want ? To prevent that invasion, and to overthrow the .Egyptian power. What do the Austrians want? 14e. sa.me as the English. What do the French want? To defend the Ottoman empire, maintain the Egyptian power, and to prevent any hostile colli sion." This is French all over ; but as regards the views of England and Austria it is unfounded. Neither of these Powers have a greater wish to de stroy the authority of the Viceroy in Egypt than :they have to set aside the influence of the SUL. TAN in Stamboul ; and as yet we have not heard iliat- they were even suspected of want of good faith towards his Highness. ' . 1," A dispatch from the Minister of the Interior," says a %Meaux letter, "has granted permission to the su .pericir officers of the army of Don Carlos, with the Lexpeption of Colonels and Generals, to return to Spain; as well as those of inferior ranks." The same dispatch autlrories.the Spanish Consuls at Bordeaux and Oleron to receive the submissions of Spanish refugees, and grant them passports. According to the Oriental. correspondence of the Augsburg Gazette, the young Sultan sent an autograph letter to the Emperor Nicholas, of which M. Rze wuski was the bearer, to assure him of his intention to observe strictly the treaties in existence between 'Turkey and Russia. The Russian Consul at Alexandria had declared, in reply to Mehemet Ales mPnlce to order Ibrahim to advance on Constantinople, tint a Russian army should be dispatched against Ibrahim, if the Vice roy did not yield within one month to the wishes of the Great Powers. -" We learn," says the Semaphore of Marseilles, " that Admiral Roussin had sent orders to Admiral Lalande to sail in company with the English fleet to Alexandria, and to act coercively against the Viceroy ; but that these orders being contrary to positive instruction s which Admiral Laland e had received direct from Paris, the latter felt himself bound not to ex, cute them. It appears further, that Admiral Lalande has been ap proved by the Government, and that it is mainly on ac count of this difference that Admiral Roussin has been recalled." On the 28th ult., as we find by a letter from Al giers, the Duke of Orleans, after a grand review of the troops, deliver e d to several officers commissi ons an d decorations of the Legion of Honour, which his Royal Highness had brought out from the War Department. The Duke was to embark on the Gth for Philippeville, whence lie would go to Constantino, and return by Bona. Abd-el-Bader had sent his usual presents, eo n _ sisting of foar ostriches, several gazelles, two horses, and some lions' skins. BORDEAUX, OCT. 11,-A new despatch from the Minister of the Interior announces that it is not only the captains and officers of lower Tanks who may ob tain permission to return to Spain, but likewise all superior officers, except colenels and generals. According to the same despatch, the Spanish C on . suls at_ Bordeaux and Oleron may, l►ke the Consuls at cond, that it is very expensive ; and third, that the owner of the soil is bound to make it as productive tas possible. He is bound, therefore, according to Mr: BOWEs)tO drain the soil, tind to ethplOy labour 611 it in every way which will add to its produce. But then the expense ! again we are told that the eNs pense is so gat ! Now what does the expense of (training land resolve itself into ? Cutting ; laying ) and filling ; loading, winning stones and quarry work ; subsoiling, lime, &c., are the items which make up the amount of expense. They all resolve themselves into labour. The quarries, the chalk, • the iron for furnaces to burn the lime, the clay from which the bricks and other materials aie obtained, are all worthless till labour gives a value to them. Thus it is the high price of labour which prevent:, landowner s from doing what Mr. BOWES Says is their duty, and stops those improvements which would add to the fertility of the country. In spite of the Morning Herald, we must again assert that the Corn-laws are the main cause why the price of labour is so high, and we make the as sertion while we deny the statement of the Herald that the Corn-laws increase the labourer' s reward. The Corn-laws were enacted at a period when prices of all kinds had been, by artificial means, forced to an extraordinary height; and they were intended to keep the price of corn up to that height. They partly succeeded, and from that time to this the price of corn has been on the whole higher in this than in the neighbour ing countries. They have compelled the whole community, including the labourer, to give more of whatever they have for sale (the labourers have only labour) for their food than is necessary. The labourer, we are aware, in con6equetiCe. o f the in creased price of food receives an increase of wages, but whether the increase in his wages will equal the increase in the price of corn, is the point to be ascer tained, before it can be asserted that the rise caused in the price of food by taxing it gives him an in creased reward. This is a point which we have, in common with others, argued over and over again, and have endeavoured to prove that as the tax limits the supply of food, and is so intended, it lessens the reward of the labourer, though it raises the price of labour.

Unhappily, however, the Admiral was amusing himself ashore when this exploit was per formed ; his first Lieutenant being in temporary com mand of the Egyptienne at the time." He was com pelled to stay to attend Sir H. Calder's court-martial, against his inclination. We will take the opportunity of correcting, another statement of our anything-but -true Contemporary. "Marshall," he says," that nzost eulogis tic and voluminous of naval biographers, has only devoted a page to Admiral Fleming's services." The reason is this, Marshall compiled his biography by applying to the different officers for a statement of their services. Each roan, therefore, in Marshall tells bis own tale, and very naturally omits nothing that is advantageous to himself. Admiral Fleming, however, on being ap plied to, declined to puff off himself and his services under Mr. Marshall's name and protection. Hence the paucity of Marshall's eulogy on him. We are glad to be reminded of this circumstance by the Standard, as it confers honour on Admiral Fleming, by demon strating that he could rely on his merits without the aid of literary quackery. LONDON MORNING NEWSPAPERS. W. H.

Experience tells us that the condition of the agricultural labourers in Eilgland has been conti nually deteriorating since the Corn-laws were passed, which is a sufficient proof that their wages have not been raised equally with the rise in the price cf corn. By far the greater part of their wages are spent in corn, and, consequently, a very small in crease in the price of that, such as is caused by the Corn-laws, suffices to deprive them of macy comforts. But another, and the most important consideration, is, that their wages will be deter mined by the relation between the supply of, and 'the demand for labour, as well as by the price of corn. Now we learn from Mr. BOWES'S state ment, as well as a thousand other similar state ments, that the demand for labour, in every branch of society, is ditninislicd or slackened as it becomes high priced or expensive. The increase in the price of corn, therefore, which causes an increased price to be given for labour, at the same time les sons the demand for labour, and prevents the rise wages being eqUal to the rise in the price of HALF-PAST OA.E.

The great anxiety which was experienced during the whole of yesterday among the merchants, for the arrival of the British Queen steamer, from New York, has nos; subsided, as she arrived yesterday at Portsmouth, hay ing performed the passage in 13 days 22 hours. She has brought a freight of 700,000 dollars, besides re mittances to the amount of one million sterling. Tin intelligence she brings from the United States is of mueli the same description as previously received by the Sheridan, that money matters were still in an unsettled state. One of the new city banks had suspended specie payments, but this bank was considered of little importance ; still great fears were entertained thdt other banks would be obliged to follow the same ex ample, owing to the great drain of specie which hat, gone on for three months past.

He was very much excited, and after great difficulty he was convoyed 'o the station-house. On questioning his wife as to his habits, she said he fre quently worked himself into the most violent passions on trifl.ng matters, and on two late occasions she had cut him down, when he tried to bang hiaiself. The prisoner said he intended to do his wife no injury, but he happened to be very much excited in conse quence of a piece of beef being lately stolen from the shop. Mr. JARDINE said that such a trifling loss should not cause him to be guilty of such a violent outrage, and he should put in bail, himself in 501., and two sureties in 25/. each, to keep the peace for the next six months.

Mr. Carter has acq uired b it power over the animals which form his menagerie vibic surprise even those who have witnessed the powers of Mr. Van Amburgh. Without going into = a corn' parison of the merits of these two eery ingenious gen tlemen, it may be allowed us to say that the perform ances of Mr. Carter appear to the beholder more extra ordinary than those of his predecessor ; they are more dramatic, and therefore better calculated for a theatre. A piece called The Miracle ; or Afghan the Liao .Kiny; was produced for the purposes of introducing Mr. Carter and his lions, tigers , &c., to the public. lo the first act of this piece, Mr. arter fought with a tiger; The beast of pr” , on the outset mastered the man, and dragged him from a platform down a flight of steel, and after a contest for superiority for some time t z animal is mastered, and is led off tame ass kitten! . this takes place on the open stage, without t he res!Ta!niss of a cage—the tiger has the , same latitude as all' h brother performers uncontrolled. In the second act he introduces the novel and beautiful display of a lion in harness, peaceably and docilely drawing him in a- clt riot. The lion is a magnificent - animal, but mee k and mild, and seems to manage itself rather t i w r be managed. In the third act, a great portion of e feats of the King have much of the character of thos e presented by Van Amburgh, but there is a marked dif" ference in the style of the tuition of the animals,tha t, from the safety of operation, seemed to add zest to WO" der. He brought out a beautiful leopard, and plaYa u with it, attached to a leading-string, as he would have done a lap-dog. His performances of course, compre• hended all the experiments of thrusting his arms, and leg. in the mouths of the creatures, and all that was done with ease, elegance, and perfect safety. When the curtain dropped, the audience called loudly for the' Lion King and he presented himself to ,receive the congra' tulations of the house, leading in his favourite tiger , who partook of the repast of praise, as if he had been taught to expect it. The Tournament followed ;it has run a long time, and still it pleases, and so it ought. HAYMARKET. His Last Legs, a new farce, written by Bernard, was produced here last night with a degree of success correspondent to its many and marked merits. Power, in the person of a Mr. O'Callaghan, enacts the part of a gentleman on his " last legs ;" he makes his ap pearance at the house of a country gentleman, Mr. Rivers (Strickland), whose son Charles (Walter Lacy) feigns desperate illness, in order by the ruse to procure consent to bis marriage with Julia Banks (Miss Travers) , whose misanthrope father, Doctor Banks (Mr. Gough)r has been ten years absent from his wife and daughter. He (Power) comes in as doctor—being at the same time no doctor at all—and in the presence of young River! , who lies in feigned agony upon a sofa, discourses to its father of remedies of such violent promise as to induce Charles to take the first opportunity of letting the doctor into the secret that he is not ill, who in his turn lets Charles into the secret that he is not a doctor. Their beads into an thus well laid together, Charles puts himself an attitude of repose, and;old Rivers, on returning t° .1 the room, inquires what has produced the sudden trap - .1 quillity. This affords scope for a smart hit at the quacked of animal magnetism. The Doctor informs the tather. that his practice is mesmerian, and elicits some practical proofs from the reposing Charles, who falls into the device with movement of limb all obedient to the Doctor's es ' „ " There is much acting fun in this episode of the farsle. Afterwards the humour lies in the broad and laughable, 1 but not improbable, equivoque. The impudent Paddy' 4 , when asked for his nam-, gives instead the card of the , old misanthrope, Dr. Banks. As a conseqcence he 18 forced by the incidents that follow to acknowledge him self married to another, just as he has secured t i 1. 7., heart of an old flame, Mrs. Montague, (Mrs. W. ✓ ford), now a widow of lir g e fortune—to be reconcilL" to a wife whom he never had—to embrace and play th e paternal to a daughter who never belonged to him, b ut , 1 whom he gives away notwithstanding—in a word , to el l: every thing us Doctor Banks and for Doctor Banks, lit?ti Doctor Banks himself arrives. Then the man ago° still triumphs, for all the happy denouement seems to bay° brought about by his agency ; and though his imPr dence was the real actor, yet of course he lays the credit to the account of his system of animal magnetism. The fun all through is quite irresistible. Power played sr t ' mirably. He bu.tled, he blu n d ere d, he ranted , lic w ooed, he finessed, he ch uc kl e d , and, from first to last, he was one active provocative of laughter. Walter ,‘ Lacy played youn g Ri vers very creditably, and Strick- ! land, as the f a th er, was graphic and expressive es l usual. Mrs. W. afford ' too, enacted remarkably wen the part o f M rs. Montague. ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE. The concerts d la Musard hove been recommenced at this thr;atre.
