EV VNING EDITION. in their stage costume, the ladies wearing shawls, of which by direction of Mr. Broughton, they were di vested, and having passed the night in the Station-house, the contrast between their jaded looks and their gay attire was excessively ludicrous—and its effects was con siderably heightened by the paint on their faces having become partially disarranged, most probably from the heat, so that in many instances no s es were red and cheeks were pale and moustachios were solitary ; pri soners, constituting the audience, to the number of seventy-seven, were then introduced, and if the gathering at the Royal Union Saloon is to be judged of frrAil this sample, it most marvellously resembled the gathering at the cave of ACtullarn. Mr. Superintendent Macy, of the G division, produced the written authority from Mr. Mayne, by which he was authorised to enter the house in question and make all therein prisoners. He did not take Lane, the proprietor, into custody, as he intended proceeding against him for a penalty of 20/. under another Act of Parliament. There were 900 persons present when he entered the Saloon, of whom he had detained only thosa present. There was a stage at one end of the Saloon. Cross examined by Mr. Adolphus—There had been no complaint made of this Saloon by any of the pa rishioners, and some of the pari‘h authorities were pre sent to give testimony in favour of Lane, who told him he was petitioning, for a music license, but had not ob tained one. ilnspector Robinson, G division, described the circum- Istances under which the capture had been effected. There was a stage at one end of the room. Did not ( see•any moving scenery, When he entered there w e r e ) two persons dressed as sailors on the stage, and a woman i dressed in character. They rushed down as the police entered, and the woman endeavoured to tear off her f stage dress. Thomas Wake, a warehouseman residing in the City road, went to the Royal Union Saloon on Monday even t ing. Had a pint of ale at the bar, for which he paid two ! pence. He went towards the door of the Saloon, and i was stopped by Mrs. Lane, who demanded fourpenee, i w hi c h he paid, and obtained a ticket, on which was marked, " One pint of ale." Entered the Saloon, and had the ale. Saw seven persons singing on the stage. Then one person came on and sang. These persons , were not dressed in character. Persons dressed in cha racter afterwards came on the stage, but before they said anything the police entered. Policeman Redmond, 22 G, went to the Royal i Saloon last evening in plain clothes, he corroborated the last witness, and stated that the prisoner Buller, had previously sung a song dressed in the costume of 1 a soldier. The bill of the performance was then put in, i from which it appeared that the performance consisted of a concert, of a quartette called " Old and Young," and a septette called the " Battersea Lovers." This was the case was for the prosecution. I Far the de ence Mr. Adolphus contended that ! nothing had been sho..vn to prove that the defendants were present during the performance of any stage play or dramatic entertainment. Lord Tenterden had held t that to constitute a stage play, it was necessary to show that persons had been engaged in sus taining characters making responses to each other, and making out a story by means of those re sponses i nothing of the sort had been attempted here. In the case of the Royalty, it had been held by Lords Thurlow and Kenyon that the performance of Harle quin, Columbine, Pantaloon, and Clown, did not consti tute a stage play a dramatic entertainment. If these persons were infringing the law, the police would have a right to break into any house where singing was going on, and take all persons into custody. He was afraid tilt re was one law for the rich and another for the poor, and would ask if Mr. Mayne would sign an order or Mr. Macy execute it, for taking noblemen and gentle men into custody for listening to Grisi or Lablache, if they were singing in an unlicensed room ? The Act was one of great severity, and therefore must be strictly con strued, and he trusted the worthy Magistrate would not convict upon such evidence. Mr. BROUGHTON said he had asked the Magistrate sitting by his s.de his opinion, and he was glad to find it coincided with his own. He could not agree with Mr. Adolphus. Moving scenery was not necessary to constitute a stage play. At the Theatre Francais, in Paris, even in his remembrance, there had been no mov ing scenery. With regard to concerts, the performers at those entertainments always sung in plain clothes, and not, as in this instance, in character. If Lablache were to sing in character at an unlicensed place, where money was taken for admission, he did not doubt but that the police would take both him and his audience into custody, although they might be noblemen and gentlemen. Those who had effected this capture did not wish for severe punishment. The law authorized the infliction of a penalty of 40s. on each person present, and in default of payment a committal for one month to the House of, Correction. In.the pre - sent case he should fine Mrs. Lane in the sum of 20s. or in default of payment commit her for 14 days. On each of the actors, with the exception of the children, whom he should discharge, a, fine of. five shillings, or a week's imprisonment, and on each one of the audience he should inflict a floe of one shilling. The fines for the actors were immediately paid, and they were discharged. The audience having last night paid four pence for ad mission to go in, paid this morning one shilling for per mission to go out.

Cheer up I cheer up ! our course we'll keep With dauntless heart and hand, And when we've ploughed the stormy deep We'll plough a smiling land, A land whose beauties importune The Briton to its bowers, To sow but plenty's seeds and prune Luxuriant fruits and flowers. CHORUS—Cheer up ! cheer up ! A sunny land with various sweets Of healthy plains and hills, With giant woods to build our fleets, And floods to drive our mills.

ART OF FLOATING.—Any human being who will have the presence of mind to clasp the hands behind the back, and turn the face towards the zenith, may float at ease, and in perfect safety, in tolerable still water,—ay, and sleep there, no matter how long. If not knowing how to swim, you would escape drowning when you find yourself iu deep water, you have only to consider yourself an e t ply pitcher: let your mouth and nose, not the top part of your heavy head, be the highest part of you, and you are safe; but thrust up one of your bony hands, and down you go, turning up the handle tips over the pitcher. Having had the haßpine 4o prevent one or two drown ings by this simple in , we pith ish it for the benefit of all who either love aquatic sports or dread them.— Walker. LAMENTABLE ACCIDENT.—CAUTION TO SFORTSMEN.—It is our painful duty to record a frightful accident which occurred on Thursday last to Mr. Potten, Landlord of the Star Inn, Burnham, whilst shooting with Mr. i,r- Win. Bridge, of the Rose and Crown, Southminater. They were leaving a field of Mr. Croxon's, of Cricksea , and e atering one belonging to . Mr. Hews, of Burnham, when Mr. P. having first mounted on a h;gh bank, Mr. ' Bridge requested him to take his gun fur h'm ; Mr. Puttee was in the act of complying when a twig, it id supposed , caught the trigger, passed throughthe gun w en t off, and the contents roughthlower part of Mr. Potten's head. The under jaw was completely carried away, with a great pur -1 tion of the upper, and the whole of the teeth and tongue, the latter being subsequently i; ocrrndln the stubble, near the spot. Notwithstanding zia i . e fuhmutilation, the un fortunate sufferer walked into Bridge having immediately left him urnham.road, Mr. aid.

About 14 or 15 months ° a con sequence of the dark and dangerous state of g ilt) , u ni nslow owing to the immense traffic along the great western road, ' passing through that town, some public-spirited individie.ls residing in the neighbourhood, at the head of whom was Mr. H. Pownall, of Spring-grove, commenced a subserip_ tion, for the purpose of lighting it with gas, and in Septem ber last, the enlightenment of Hounslow was celebrated by a public dinner at the Rcse and Crown Inn. Since then the gas lights have been maintained out of the surplus of the subscription, but that source now failing, the parochial authorities of Isleworth and Heston, in which parishes ‘,lounslow stands, were applied to for the assistance of a tal,l to defray the expenses. Accordingly, on Thursday best l a vestry meeting was held at Idleworth, to take into coati ration the propriety of watching and l i g htin g , or lighting only, according to the 3d and 4th William IV., "IL 90, sec. 73, when, after a long and stormy discussion, a poll was demanded, when there appeared, for the light ing, 16—against it, 28.

PERSONAL SECURITY.—It is not generally known that on the 19th of last month an Act passed, in tituled An Act for the better protection of parties deal ing with persons liable to the bankrupt laws," by which the law affecting debtor and creditor is materially changed. Before the passing of this Act the security by warrant of attorney for repayment of money was always liable to be upset by an act of bankruptcy committed before the cre ditor availed himself of the security; but now all the execu tions against the goods of such bankrupt levied before the date and issuing of the fiat will be deemed valid, notwith• standing any previous act of bankruptcy committed by such bankrupt.—Provincial y Paper. As to the Negroes, they seem to be the happiest people I ever saw in my life . ; our labourers in England would be mightily astonished, if they were to see the acn chalance with which the slaves set about doing any thing, and they are always laughing, singing, and dancing. There are very few sick in the hospital, none dangerously so; and two children have been born since my arrival, whom I am to christen, and have promised to stand god father, if they should be lucky enough to survive the dangers of infancy. Nothing could equal the rapture of the poor people on my ar:ival, and the noise which they made was something wonderful; they all said, that " Till now they were afraid that they had no massa,'' and all the old people were in one story--" now they had once seen massa, they did not care if they should die to morrow!" I gave them a holiday on Saturday, with a couple of heifers, and as much rum and sugar as they chose. Numbers of old servants of my grandfather and uncle came to show themselves to me ; and even a great many negroes, who had formerly belonged to my estate, and had obtained fre,dorn, came flocking from all parts of the country—for fear it should seem ungrateful if they did not conic to see massa, because they were free. The servants, too, they take such care of me, that they will not let me eat or drink any thing they think likely to hurt me; nor will any of the others suffer me to talk to them in the open air, when the dews are falling ; and as to the old women, do all I can, I cannot prevent them from tailing down to embrace my knees, and kiss my feet. Polly is a pretty delicate-looking girl, nursing a young child ; she belongs to the mansion -house, and seems to think it as necessary a part of her duty to nurse me as the child. To be sure, she has not yet insisted upcn suckling me ; but if I open a jalousie in the evening, Polly walks in and shuts it, without saying a word. " Oh, don't shut the window, Polly I" .• Night air not good for massa ;" and she shuts the casement without mercy. lam drinking orangeade, or some such liquid ; Polly walks up to the table and seizes it I " Leave that jug, Polly, I'm dying with thirst !" " More hurt, massa I" and away go Polly and the orangeade. So that I begin to fancy m; self Sancho in Barataria, and that Polly is the Senor Doctor Pedro in petticoats.—Life of M. L. Lewis._ . _ _ IRISH BEGGARS.—OIIe party we fell in with-- three women, by whom our sympathies were ievoked in the following manner :—" Ah, my lady 1 ah, your honour have compassion on the blind, the lame, and the lazy." " flow's Liat ?" said my husband. " Plaiz sour honour's glory, I am lame (as you see), this good woman's b:ind, and my daughter's I:zy." " Well, wel ," said he to whom this truly original appeal was made, and who began to be amused at this mode of application, expecting some further drollery from her,--' . well there's a fivepenny among you, that is, if you'll divide it equally." " Oh sure," answered the lazy, " its no matter—we are all one family." " Oh, said the donor, " but I 'insist upon 4n equal divieion of the money in my prc‘ence, or withdraw it." " And so there shall be, your honour, if you'll ' depind upon my virtue," holding out her hand. " Yes, yes, but I must see you tio it." " And how, your hon our, will Ido it, seeing that it's impossible ?" " Very well then, I shall not give it," said Mr. Matthews (still antici pating amusement from her ingenuity). Suddenly she seemed to have a thought and with quickness asked, o Will your honour trust me with the, tlyepenny to get changed ?"." Well," said he, after a shorttause, " I will.' " Go blsss you for ever," and away she rp', into the inn. On her return, after a minute's consideriton, she placed three halfpence into each of the other women's hands, saying, as she did so, " There's three halfpence for you, good woman,—there's three halfpence for you, good wo man,—and here's three halfpence for me, good woman." Then looking for an instant perplexed at the remaining halfpenny, she suddenly darted into a little huxter's shop opposite to the inn, and as speedily returned with a pair of old scissars in one hand, and a bit of what is called pig tail tobacco in the other, saying, as she measured with her eye, and divided it, " There's one bit for you, good wo man,--there's one bit fur you, good woman,—and there's one bit for me, good woman. Ah 1 now, haven't I done it nately, yur honour ?"—Liie of Charles Matthews. " A PATTERN OE GENTLENESS. — ' Mrs. T.

The Tories are exulting very much at their in. crease in numbers and strength. We are half in clined to believe that there is some foundation for their boasting, and we hold it to be a cruel deceit on the Liberal party to delude them as to the pro gress of their opponents. The Tories must be met and conquered, or there will be no safety for the State, which can only be achieved by forming a correct estimate of their strendth. Thcy arc a great and a combined body. All the money jobbers, most of the stock brokers, Bank directors, and Bank proprietors are naturally and necessarily Tories. Those who profit by the dis criminating duties on sugar, and those who grow rich by making us pay dear for bad timber, belong to the same political party. The coal monopolists are Tories, and to the same political party naturally belong, also, most of the !Treat factory owners. The landowners are necessa rily Tories, as are the priests, almost .to a man. Now all these classes are closely' United for the defence of their several monopolies and privi leges, resolved to maintain their peculiar advantages, and they leave no art untried, no exertion _neglected, which can secure success. The priest invokes reli gion, the landowner old traditionary feelings, includ ing the past glory of England, the monied monopo list and factory owner appeal to its modern greatness, and all combine to place the powers of the Govern ment in the hands of those who will protect their various usurpations. All these numerous and influential classes combine their exertions in every part of the country to revive the triumph, and establish the reign of Toryism. Steadily and energetically, with the in stinct of self interest, or even self preservation, they press from all sides towards their goal as a body of hunters enclose and hem within a circle, which becomes narrower as they ail move to the same point, the game they are determined to slaughter. We acknowle.lge that it is' for us rather a fearful thing to witness the incessant, persevering, and untiring energy with which these . several bodies, usini - the Pulpit and the Press, and wielding the powerful arms of corruption and intimidation, march forward to their object. Each is avowedly struggling for its own selfish ends, and, put to the test, they are scarcely im pudent enough to hide their sinister objects under the pretence of promoting the public welfare. The selfish, brutal, and brutalising system of Toryism, thus animated by one spirit, and actuated by one organisation, is spreading, we are fain to admit, over the land, and, like an army of locusts, is de vouring all the green and pleasant crops of labo rious patriotism. . . . . . ADC' what sort of organization have the Liberal s , who r ea lly mean to p ro mote the public welfare, by which to resist the progress of Toryism ? They are broken into scattered bands, each contending for some favourite nostrum of its own. The Tories, consisting of monopolists of various classes, are the natural enemies of the public welfare, and of the Kreat body of the people. On the latter, there tore, must all true patriots rely for success ; and the depth and width of our disputes, the feebleness of the organization of the Li beral party, are manifested by the fact that the bulk of the unrepresented are at present as much, or more, opposed to the Whigs than to the Twies. We mention the fact - without saying whether the Whigs or the Radicals are to blame, but if that dispute continue, the Liberals must, ere long, fall an easy prey to the well organised Tories. Both .are, perhaps, inexcusably wrong—the Whigs, for having adopted a great deal too much of the Tory system; the R a di ca l s, or unrepre sented, for the violenc e o f t h e i r language, and utter impracticability of the objects after which they have gone astr a y. If we dared to be as profane as Sir JOHN ROBNOUSE was in the time when he was accustomed to speak with bold- ness, if not with sincerity, we should say as he said, borrowing a simile of R ALF t h e historian, that between the dissensions of the Whigs and of the Radicals, born of arrogance and ambition, as between two thieves, the public welfare is crucified. The prospects at present, then, of the Liberal party are not hopeful, and we state what appears to us the condition into which it is fading in order that the danger may be known, and energy sum moned to meet it. With a cordial union of the Whigs and the Radicals, the Liberals have nothing to fear. They broke and routed the monopolists long ago, when the latter were stronger than they now are, and can do it again whenever they put forth their united powers. But they must be united to effect it, and the course of both has of late been more and more apart. How they are to be brought together we scarcely know ; the aboli tion of the Corn-laws, if the Whigs would go heartily into that plan, might rally them ; but unless they do rally and do unite, th e governmen t o f th e country must again fall int o t h e h an d s o f t h a t fac tion which never has concealed its determination to make the Government an instrument to promote its own odious, selfish purposes. On Saturday we published a speech of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S, delivered at Tamworth to a nu ' merous meeting of gentlemen interested in the suc cess of that important and much-opposed measure, the Manchester and Birmingham Railway Bill. Parts of the speech were of a local nature, but the greater proportion applied to railroads in ge neral—to the objections at first raised against them, to their rapid progress in every part of Great Bri tain, their convenience, security, and their vast importance to the prosperity of a commercial coun try ; and as Sit ROBERT PEEL must always have great influence in Parliament, whether in opposi tion or on the Treasury Bench, all persons who wish to see these undertakings prosper must be grati fied to find that his opinions on this subject are of the most liberal and cheering character. He is opposed to monopoly on the one hand, and on the other to any unnecessary competition with lines that have absorbed much capital, and that ought, unless the in terests of the public demand a change, to be allowed to remunerate the shareholders. He trusts also that landholders will forego needless opposition to mea sures of such great national importance, and that the proprietors of railways will deal liberally with them, and make great concessions for the loss of their property, and the violence done to their feelings. This is almost the only point on which we differ from him. Where a line passes through an ancient demesne, and interferes with the privacy of do mestic life, great concessions ought to be made ; but between granting ample remuneration in such a case, and granting such enormous sums as have been bargained for by Lord PETRE and Mr. LAEOU CHERE on the Eastern Counties Line, there is a wide difference. In assessing the amount of com pensation, two points ought never to be lost sight of, that the proprietors of land through which a road passes, generally profit more from the undertaking than the shareholders, and that any extravagant remuneration lays only an additional and unjust tax on the public. About the success of the railway in question, Sir ROBERT PEEL has not the slightest doubt—he is equally confident as to its expediency and its justice. It was utterly impossible (he said) that any oppositi on which could be brought to bear against the measure could prove effectual; and if its opponents did not feel that the Manchester and Birmingham Extension Railway would prove a formidable competitor to the existing railways; that it would accommodate the inhabitants of important districts, and command a vast amount of traffic, they might depend upon it they would not have been half so persner ing or determined in their hostility to the measure, which he had not the slightest doubt would be ultimately carried. He would ask any man to look at the position of the metro polis on the one hand, and of Manchester on the other, and then to look at the direction which the Stone and Rugby line proposed to take, and say whether the oppo sition of any rival line was likely to be successful. What, he asked, was the state of the case as regarded the Extension Railway ? Simply, that it brought the great manufacturing district of Manchester nearer the metropolis by thirteen miles, one-ninth of the entire distance. But in addition to this, the line was so particularly favourable as to gradients that they might consider it further shortened by several miles. Thus, therefore, by effecting the cons munication between Stone and Rugby, an actual saving of at least 20 miles was effected." Mr. O'CONNELL, in ,_the Bank of Ireland affair, showed what one sturdy', ria rmined, and indefati gable Member can do against all the powers of Government, and Sir ROBERT PEEL has also shown what patient perseverance and judicious ar gument can do against much stronger powers, the selfish interests of shareholders, and the unblushing opposition of Members of Parliament. Had any other than the Right Hon. Baronet represented Tamworth this Bill would have been crushed at the outset. This, however, is not the only for tunate circumstance. In defending the Tamworth line, he must, in consistency, defend other com peting lines, and oppose what has been one of the t h e esta blishment o f monopo li es. On this greatest blunders committed i n p ass i ng R a il way Bills, point he is most precise. In allusion to the oppo sition from the London and Birmingham Company, he says : " He had too much confidence in their good sense and ho nour and justice to suppose for an instant that they would throw any obstructions in their way. Nay more, he be lieved that it would not be for their interest to do so ; but should the event prove otherwise, of this he was sure, that that same Legislature which granted them their monopoly, would never for a moment tolerate them in throwing ob stacles in the way of another Company." The speech altogether is rem ar k a bl e f or i ts goo d impartiality. The conc l u di ng remar k s to the att ent i on of all those w h o ,se,enseand recommend doubt the expediency of encouraging railroad commu nication, and the last two lines of his speech we point out especially for the instruction of Railway Directori. This is the conclusion : • " Since he last had the pleasure of meeting them, ex. perience had tended to confirm the advantages of railroad travelling, both as regards safety, economy, and rapidity. Ir was at one time doubted whether any benefit would arise from adopting this new mode of transit ; and he acknowledged that it was impossible t o see the momen tumwith which passengers were ca rr i e d a l ong, with out feelings of apprehension for th e i r sa f ety ; but experience had shown that, although there might be occasional accidents, yet, on the whole, commu nication by railways had been proved to be vastly superior in point of safety, as well as velocity, to the old method. He perfectly well recollected that many of his own hiendS had hinted to him doubts whether the adoption of railroads would not lower the price of oats; and some went so fir as to say that horses would be a complete drug. Many of those who now heard him were able to form a correct esti mate of the real value of such apprehensions. Tho Let was, that all these great improvements rested on each other, and worked together to promote the general prosperity of the community. The Right Hon. Baronet concluded by expressing his opinion that there should be no unequal taxation on this point, that all modes of communication should ba left entirely free, and that the present rate of tolls charged by railways was too high, greatly too high, for their own interests." Improvements in the construction of railway carriages, which are likely to lead to important re sults, have lately been made.,by Mr. COLES, the mechanician, of Charing-eroSs. These improve ments are directed to the diminution of friction, and are as remarkable for their simplicity as for the ef fectual manlier in which they accomplish their ob ject. The friction on railroads is of two kinds, namely, that which arises from the weight of the carriage and its contents pressing on the axles of the wheels, and that which i$ caused by the lateral pressure of the flanges of thi off-wheels against the perpendicular part of the rails when the railway, from being a straight line, assumes the shape` of a curve. To diminish the friction between the axl e an d i ts b ear i ngs , Mr. COLES h as had rec ourse to t h e following ingenious con - trivance. Wh ere one w h ee l i s now employed h e employs three, so placed, the one above the other, that the axle of the ground-whee!, instead of bear ing in the collar, works upward against the rim of a large anti-friction wheel, the axle of which, in its :urn, works against the rim of the third or upper most wheel, which revolves upon a fixed stub axle ' screwed to the frame-work of the carriage, and sustaining its whole weight. A modal carriage on this construction will traverse round a circle of thirty-four feet six inches in four seconds, or at tine rate of seventy-one miles an hour. It will also propel a two-wheeled carriage, or rather a carriage with one set of anti-friction wheels on each side, at the rate of fifty miles. The practical result of the re duction thus made in friction is that carriages con structed on this principle will not require one. eighth part of the power to propel them on level roads which is required for those with the wheels now in use. Carriages with the patent wheels may also be propelled by manual labour, without the aid of steam, by means of some very simple machinery. The way in which Mr. COLES gets rid of the friction occasioned by the flanges of the wheels acting against the rails, in working a curve, is partly by a slight alteration in the present form of the rails on the outer curves, which it is not easy to describe without the assistance of a diagram, but which produces the same effect as if the diameter of the off wheels was increased pro tempore, so as to keep pace with their opposite wheels moving along the inner curve • and partly by so constructing the body of the carriage that, by means of a knuckle joint, it is capable of being bent out of a straight line, and of adapting itself to the curvature of the rail. We have seen Mr. COLES'S model carriage at work, and were much pleased with its performance. We are well aware that inventions which have stood the test of examination, and have even done won ders on the table of an exhibition-room, have often failed when an attempt has been made to reduce them to practice on a l arg e sca l e . But we feel satisfied that such failures never occur in cases where a sound principle is combined with sim plicity of construction. To this high merit we think Mr. COLES may justly lay claim, and we may add that we have little doubt of the general adoption of his improvements. They will, if we are not mistaken, soon compel their own adoption. Were the lives of British subjects in Portugal not placed in great peril by the rabid abuse of the Government and people of this country, which fills the columns of the Lisbon press, we should treat with profound contempt the vile trash which will be found in another part of The Sun, extracted from the Procurador dos Povos and the Nacional. Even as the question stands, we will not conde scend to reply to the calumnies of writers who are indebted for their boasted nationality to British protection. It is known to all the world, that were England not as magnanimous as she is powerful, the independence of Portugal would be as much a recollection—a thing of the past—as the na tionality of Poland. As for our climate and our soil, of which the Nacional has such a horror, we, must confess that the one is not the most fertile, nor the other the most genial in the world ; and yet we ought to regard the defects of both with peculiar complacency, seeing that we possibly owe to them the non-invasion of Britain by the war like Septembrists of Lisbon. We do not, how ever, comprehend the wisdom of making us dis• contented with Old England, especially as the Na cional is no friend to a scheme of emigration from the banks of the Thames to those of the Tagus. We can assure the Editor of the Nacirnal that indifferent as is our climate and our soil, they contribute to the support of a race who will not allow the waters of the Tagus to be stained with the blood of a British subject with impunity ; and as to the threat of burning the effects of the embryo ban dit with the long name, so pompously set forth by the Procurador dos Povos, we intimate in friendly confidence to that Journal, that our merchants would feel no sort of compunction were the example fol lowed by the whole kingdom of Portugal, as it would create an active demand for an abundance of old stock of which they would willingly get rid at any price. The more burning there is of British goods, provided they are paid for, the better for British commerce. The Portuguese slave-traffickers are welcome to revenge themselves after this fashion. We publish a letter relative to the Chartists, and to the riots at Dudley, signed " A Working Jeweller," with regret, but our duty compels us. We are bound to make known to our rulers, and particularly to our Whig rulers, who must in the long run rely on the people for political support, the impression which their conduct makes on the people ; and as we know that the sentiments of " A Working Jeweller" are general amongst the work ing people, our duty compels us, though with regret, for we have no wish to cast a slur on Sir JOHN CAMPBELL, to make them public. The news from the Spanish frontier, received this morning, is more scanty than we anticipated. The following telegraphic despatch appears in the Moniteur of Monday, received along with the other Paris Journals of that date : " BAYONNE, SEPT. 8. " THE GENERAL. COMMANDING THE 20TH MILITARY DIVISION TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL. " On the 6th 50 superior officers and other personages belonging, to the Court of Don Carlos, and 60 subaltern officers, a great number of ladies, and the Archbmeop of Cuba, sought refuge it the Aldudes, in France; others arc expected." The Carlist organg announce that a reaction in favour of Don Nit Los has already manifested itself in the Basques. The Gazette de France says that his partisans were never more. pow erful in Valencia, A rragon, and Castile than they are at present, and that the war is by no means at an end. In Galignani's Mes senger of Monday we find: the following extract from a letter in support of these statements : " We have received the following from a correspondent on the frontiers of Navarre, dated the 6.h instant The Guipuzcoans begin to repent of their proceedings, and ex claim treason. Ibero, who was always faithful to Don Carlos, is gone to join him with three battalions. Ytur riaga, who bad entered into all the plans of Maroto, be cause he thought all the fueros were guaranteed, has re, fused to pass over to the Christinos ; and as to those who followed lturbe to the camp, they desert in armed groups of twenty and thirty to join Don , Carlos in Navarre. The Navarrese are very dissatisfied with the persons who sur round Don Carlos, and are convinced that the Ministers and Father Cyril have aided Maruto in all his projects, and it is feared that they will give way to some excesses against them. Don Carlos has published an order enjoin ing all strangers residing in Navarre to take arms or quit the kingdom immediately. The Infanta Don Sebastian, and Generals Elio and Zariategui, arrived on the 4th at Tolosa. Don Carlos is expected in the Valley of Ulzama." Don CA rums merely holds out to make terms with the Government. Before surrendering, he wishes to know the conditions of the treaty which France and England are prepared to guarantee in his favour. The contest for the Crown is clearly hopeless. . - - There is no domestic news in the French Jour nals of Monday. The following paragraphs front them contain all the news they bring of any in- serest : The Augsburg Gazette of the s:h announces the fo; lowing from Vienna :—" The Russian Ambassador, YOU Tatischeff, has received no iinstruetions empowering him to take part in the Conferenck on the affairs of the East." The Geuther of Bourdeaux states, that some detach ments of Carlists who gave themselves over to pillaging the inhabitants, partizans of Dun Carlos, violated a con vent ot nuns and obliged them to leave their religious habi tations, and seek refuge in France; these unfortunate nuns have arrived at Bayonne, where they experienced the greatest hospitality. ‘We have the following letter from Algiers, dated 31st August:— Apartments arc fitting up with great splendour in the imagnitieent Hotel of the Regency, whence it is inferred, that the Prince will not put up this time at the Hotel of the Government. It is reported that hi 3 Royal Highness h at taken this resolution, that he may be the better able to ascertai❑ the opinion of the Colonists respecting the system followed by Marshal Valee. " It' the reports which have been for some days in circu lation should be confirraed, great ameliorations are pro jected, and the colony will soon be in a prosperous condi tion. It is said, in fact, that the definitive occupation of 131(da and Koleah has:been - resolved on. You know that bur troops have been encamped for this year past in the environs of those twv places., which belong to us by the treaty of the Tassia, but the Colonists have hitherto been . prohibited from going to settle in them. It is thought that prohibi+ion will be rev...ked during the visit of the Duke of Orleans at Algiers."—Le Constitutionnel. The Sentinelle des Pyrenees of the sth says :—" Es- Parteio, on visiting, on the 31st, the military hospital at Bergara, ordered pecuniary relief to be given to all the sick and wounded. All the Carlit ports on the Cantabrian coast are in the hands of the Christinos. Above 400 emigrants have crossed the frontier within these few days." VIENNA, Arc. 31.—W e hear that the Aulic Council- Von \Verner, Newman, and Hugel, will accompany Prince Nletternich to Johannisburg, for which place his H Highness intends at present to set out on the 9th of Sep. /ember. It is believed that the Prince will not return to r'Vienna till the latter end of October, and that Count Figuelmont will conduct the important diplomatic nego ciations during his absence. There have recently been some sad goings on in Switzerland, particularly in the canton of Zurich, arising out of the question of popular education. The democratic party who were in possession of the Executive Government, wished to establish a system of national education in which no secta rian creed should be exclusively taught. The priests took fire at this, and represented to the peasantry that the Goverment sought to abolish religion altogether. Unfortunately this charge re ceived a sort of confirmation from the subsequent appointment of the celebrated Dr. STRAUSS, whose " Life of Christ" has made such a stir in the re ligious world, to the Professorship of Theology. Of the consequences of this act the French Go vernment received the following telegraphic account, published in the Moniteur of Monday " STRASBURG, SEPT. 8. " THE PREFECT OF THE LOWER RHINE TO THE MINISTER OF THE INTEhIOR. " They write me from Basle on the 7th— " • A popular movement, in which four persons have been killed and seven wounded, has forced the Govern ment of Zurich to give in its resignation. A Provisional Government composed of four members of the Council and three othc-r persons, has taken the reins until the new elections. AU this took place yesterday morning. In the evening tranquillity was re-established.'" Vie have received various details of this melan choly affair, but the most simple as well as the most copious is the following extract from the Zurich correspondence of the Morning Chronicle, dated the Gth instant. After recounting the dis putes between the Executive, and the peasants act ing under the direction of the Priests, the writer proceeds as follows : The Zurich Executive, feeling itself menaced, raised troops to the amount of 1,100 men; but the other party knew well that the finances of the Canton would not bear the keeping up of such a force, and accordingly it was disbanded in a few days, and reduced to its criginal dimen sions. But whilst the Executive was diminishing the troops. their opponents had spread the report in the eastern districts of the Canton, that they had called in the aid of contingents from Luce' ne and from Berne. Enraged at this, the peasants from these districts flocked into Zurich this morning, most of them unarmed. The Go vernment regretted but too late that the old walls and for tifications were destroyed. In the olden time it would have sufficed to have shut the gates and raised the port cullis; but nothing prevented the peasants from entering the town, and, as their passions were up, they instantly made for the arsenal to get arms. Hereupon the dra goons were ordered to charge. They did so. Such of the peasants as had &Oaks immediately opened a fire en the dragoons, who returned it. There were several killed and wounded—more among the people, who were crowded, than the dragoons. Unfortunately the first victim was Councillor Hegetschweiler, one of our most esteemed citizens. Though opposed to the Radical party, and considered a Moderate, Hegetschweiler was so popular, so beloved by the peasantry, that he was instantly sought out and sent to appease the mob. He was in the act of reading a procla mation, in which the Government promised to leave the question of its existence or duration to the Grand Council, which was to assemble on Monday, when he was shot by a dragoon. He was carried home, and his wound is con sidered mortal. This greatly increased the irritation. The peasants from the side of the Lake crowded in late in the day, and the Government was obliged to abandon all idea of resistance. It announced its own dissolution ; and a Provisional Government has been formed, comprising some members of the old Executive, M. Muralt being at its head. EVENIN(; EDITION.

The Speech of the Queen Regent of Spain on opening the ordinary Session of the Cortes of the kingdom on the Ist inst., will be found in another part of The Sun. A telegraphic despatch, received by the French Government last week, apprised it of the circumstance of no allusion being. made to the negociations for peace between ESPARTERO and MA noTo, and this omission, which greatly abated our curiosity to obtain a copy of the Speech, will be felt as a gf.Vat disappointment by English readers in general. It is, however, easi:y ac counted for. When the Speech was in the course of preparation, on the 29th ult., an express reached the Spanish Government, stating that the Carlist Chief ZA RIATEGUI had defeated General DIEGO LEON, and that in the engagement the Christinos lost upwards of 2,000 men. This ac count was accompanied by a despatch, announcing that the interview between ESPA RTERO and MA ROTO, on the 26th ult., at Villareal, terminated in a rupture, in consequence of which the two Generals had put themselves at the head of their respective armies, resolved to abide the decision of the sword. FORCADELL, too, at Liria, had obtained a trifling advantage over an inferior number of the QuEEN's troops ; and these various indications of a longer continuance of the war induced the Ministry to forego ail reference to the pacific negociations con ducted under the friendly auspices of England and France. It is certain, however, that had the treaty of Beraara between ESPARTERO and MA ROTO, published in The Sun of yesterday, reached the Spanish capital before the opening of the Cortes, it would have supplied one of the most interesting paragraphs in the Royal Speech. But the delay after all is of no great importance, as it will form the suliject of an early Special Message from the Crown to the Cortes. The Speech represents the state of Spain as being upon the who!e sufficiently satisfactory. When we take into consideration the long continu ance of the civil war—its fratricidal character—its brutally demoralising tonduncy—and its natural effect upon the habits of a proud, indolent, super stitious people, we cannot help being struck with the few outrages which under circumstances so trying have disturbed social order in Spain. Here the QUEEN REGENT has just grounds for congra tulating the Cortes. As the speech is almost entirely made up of details only to be collected from a perusal thereof, we at once refer our readers to the document itself, as it would serve no purpose to attempt to enumerate them here. We are particularly pleased to learn that the Spa nish Government is most anxious to do justice to the claims of the public creditor, and we trust that this very important question will be early brought under the consideration of the Cortes.
