Soi:icitor, who attended on behalf of Alr• B oo th, ife r r et; to accept notice. Jpon investigation, however, it apper.red that the a' lion had been brought for the non-r,erformance of a contract, and the Court thought that . , until a verdict was obtained Mr. Botch could not be cr.msidered as standing on the footing of a creditor. The Solicitor said he vio'Ald rather have the claim omitted from the schedule. The C OURT were of opinion that the action was brought for dal-rases, and that therefore Mr. Booth Was no creditor, The applica'c',on was accordingly refused. The case was adjourneej, MAN SJ,ON-HOUSE.—(TiIIs DAY.) • Com .fLAINT AGAINST A POLICEMAN,--Charles Celarier appeared before Alderman KELLY to .11:Ir dsplain of having been improperly taken into custody by policeman Addey.

THE COURT.—We can state upon unquestion able authority that it is not the intention of her Ma jesty to visit Brighton this season.—Brighton Guardian. The Mr. Baring, who has received an appoint ment on the staff of the Governor-General of Canada, is not, as stated by the Standard, a son of the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, but is a nephew of the Go vernor-General, and the son of the late Mr. W. Baring. Sleaford (Lincoln) is about to be lighted with gas. ELOPEMENT IN DUBLIN.—A young lady, Miss H., of Stephen's-green, eloped with a Mr. H., a public officer, on Sunday. The brother of the young lady followed through the streets in a hack car with two horses, shouting out " Stop the chaise," which galloped at a furious rate, and was, after a long chase, pulled up. The lovers were taken in custody to Henry-street Office, where they insisted on not being detained, being both of age, when they were set at large, and repaired to the temple of Hymen, where the marriage knot was tied.—Correspondent of the Post. HULf , AND SPURN TELEGRAPH.—We have the pleasure of announcing that this important establish ment is now in actual work. Great credit is due to Lieutenant Watson for the diligence and zeal he has manifested throughout. On Wednesday several com munications were made between Hull and the Light Ves sel ; the time occupied, including the reception of an an swer, being about nine minutes. It. is supposed, when the men get rather more accustomd to the workingof the machi ner y, this can be effected in less than four minutes. The first vessel reported by the new institution whilst practising the men, was the Victoria steamer, which vesselwas announced as in sight off th e li g ht vessel s on Thursday morning at half-past six ; but, owing to strong currents against her, she did not arrive t ill one o'clock . In th e a f ternoon at five o'clock the Garnett was re ported as off the Bull Light, although she had not got her sig na l s on b oard. Communicat i ons , as practice, have been made several times during Wednesday and Thursday, and to one an answer was returned in nine minutes. pn Sir DR. WA LCOT ' S CONGREGATION.— Wh --- William Trelawny went out as Governor of Jamaica, Mr. Walcot accompanied him as his medical attendant. Previously to his leavin g the co un t ry h e o bt a i ne d from a Scotch University his degree of M.D. He was af terwards persuaded to enter the Church, in consequence of his patron having a living in his gift.. His talent for satire soon made Jamaica too hot for him, and induced the Governor to regret the responsibility he had taken upon himself. He frequently related a story of his own currriQe at preaching to a congregation whi c h consisted .11; 0 . 1 soldier, and two negroes. " I wondered," said the Doctor, "how so many came THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDA ,OCTOBER 3, to hear me, but I looked out and saw it rained."—Physie and Physicians. We are glad to hear that Mr. Hutt, M.P., is convalescent, though still very weak. THE CHURCH LITERALLY IN DANGER,--- The parish church of Long Benton has lately ekhiliited symptoms of weakness, consequent upon the coal un derneath it being removed. It is an old working, and the coal now obtained there is what is technically termed the " broken," or the pillars which were left to support the roof of the pit. These being in course of removal is supposed to be the cause of the sinking of the buildings on the surface. On Sunday last during Diuine Service, a slight noise was heard, and a part of the plaster fell from the ceiling, indicating a degree of instability which had not been anticipated, and the con gregation immediately sought their safety in a speedy retreat, leaving behind them their hats, &c. We are, however, happy to say that beyond the fright occa sioned by the circumstance we have just related, there was no harm done.—Tyne Mercury. DAILY MAIL TO ORKNEY.—It gives us great pleasure to learn that Government has at length determined on establishing. a daily mail to the Orkney Islands. A mail-boat will cross and rceross the Firth each day between Huna and the Orkneys, and a mail gig, contracted for by Mr. Alexander Leith, of the Ca ledonian Hotel, Wick, be despatched to Huna from Wick, and to Wick from Huna, with the mail-bag every day in the week. The establishment of these daily conveyances will prove of immense importance to the northern counties, being a boon of no ordinary description.—John O'Groal Journal. STEALING A HEARTHSTONE.—In a case heard a few days ago in the Insolvent Debtors' Court, the insolvent was asked if he had not been charged with felony. He said he had been charged at Stafford, where he lived, with stealing a hearthstone by the landlord of his house. He had actually purchased the stone and placed it on the hearth ; he was, however, tried at the sessions and convicted ; he was sentenced to four months' imprisonment, and after he had been confined two months of the time the bill and receipt for the identical stone was found in his house, and forwarded to the Recorder who tried him. That func tionary lost no time in laying the circumstances before the Secretary of State, and the insolvent was speedily liberated from the gaol. ARRIVAL OF - THE LONDON POLICE FROM BIEMINGHAM.—Mr. May, the chief superintendent of the Metropolitan police force, and a party of thirty men of the A division, who have been doing duty at Bir mingham since the riots, have arrived in town. Se veral of the men who accompanied the Superintendent to Birmingham remain there, having accepted appoint ments in tho police force, organised in that town by Mr. May before he left. TREATMENT OF HORSES ON A JOURNEY.— Various opinions exist as to the best division of the stages which a horse should be ridden or driven when performing a long journey. This must in some degree be regulated by his condition. If he is fit to go, with a journey of a hundred and fifty miles to perform, and three days to do it in, I should divide the distances into twenty-five miles each, or as near as the accommo dation on the road would permit, starting, especially in the summer time, early in the morning, and performing , the first twenty-five miles before breakfast. This en ables you to have your horse well dressed, and to afford him three or four hours rest ; and if he will eat two quarterns of oats, and a quartern of beans (which should be divided into two feeds), he will not take much harm. A moderate quantity of water must be given ; at the same time it must be observed, that too much will cause most horses to scour, and likewise to sweat more profusely ; therefore the less he has in reason the better till his day's work is completed, when he should have as much as he is inclined to take. Gruel is an excellent thing, but it is not readily procured, properly made, on the road ; it should invariably be boiled, and I prefer it made with wheat flour, as it remains longer on the stomach, and is less relaxing than when made with oatmeal. The usual method of preparing what they call gruel at inns is to mix oatmeal with warm water, in which state it is decidedly bad ; its emollient quality is produced by boiling, and if I cannot procure it in that state, I prefer water.—Old Sporting Magazine for October. _ - In Somersetshire and Dorsetshire the wheat is all got in, but the barley is either uncut, or lies in a very wet and discoloured state on the ground. In some places secondary vegetation has taken place, and it has what is called grown out, but on the other hand this state of things is not very general in these two counties. Wheat has hardly been up to an average, whilst barley rather exceeds it. A tolerably favourable report may be given of the state of the crops in Devonshire, and in Cornwall. We believe the farmers are, as respects De von, well satisfied with the wheat, and excepting in ex posed districts contiguous to the.moor, and in other very low districts, neither that nor barley has suffered very serious injury. On the whole, it may be said, that the damage which the weather has done is considerable, referring to the splendid appearance of the crops on the approach of autumn, but if the weather thies.week be ►ike what it was during that just passed, it is ttf be hoped that the produce of food in this kingdom will be suffi cient for the supply of its inhabitants withola further importation.— Western Luminary. BELL-RINGING.----A novel punishment was inflicted on a juvenile delinquent last week by a medical gentleman in Lincoln. •It appears that the respectable inhabitants of Guildhall-street were sorely Annoyed by the tintinnabularly and rat-tat-tat propensities of cer tain practitioners of the ring-and-run-away manoeuvre, Which mischievous urchins have, from time immemorial, delighted to practice, and various were the devices re sorted to with a view to entrap the offenders. At length a surgeon resolved to cure the evil in a professional manner, by bestowing on the tormentors a series of charges which cculd not fail to sl.ock them, and act as a wholesome alterative of their system ; he set in mo tion his electrifying machine ; his Leyden jar was laden with the subtle agent, of which a powerful dose was ad ministered to the bell-wire, and the operator awaited with patience the result of his experiment. At length a bell-ringer stole slily to the door, seized the handle, and at length on the ground was quickly stretched, having received a return for his exertions which perfectly elec trified him : being thus rendered incapable of flight he was easily captured, but was allowed to depart, after receiving a severe admonition, a" sadder and a wiser" boy than when he commenced his pursuit of knowledge under unexpected difficulties.—Boston Herald. TRAVELLING BEFORE BREAKFAST.--A jour ney, commencing with a drive under Primrose-hill, would have been something to astonish our progenitors ; but what would they have thought of it, coupled with a stage, before breakfast, of rather more than a hun dred and eighty miles? Such was the chance of all who used the early morning train, on the Birmingham line, as their mode of transit to Doncaster. That train leaves the Euston-square station at 6 A.m. Taking Piccadilly as the average distance each man would have to come, say 4,+ A.M. would have seen him astir, and with all ordinary exped;tion he would barely be in time for the start. Now from Euston•square, as aforesaid, not a single minute, nor a single place, is appropriated for a meal of any kind, till you reach Sheffield, a distance of upwards of 180 miles. —Sporting Review. LUCRATIVE MERCANTILE APPOINTMENT ! —On Tuesday information was given of a serious rob bery committed upon Mr. W. M'Cowell, of N 0.6, Alfred place, Bedford-square. It appears that ha had offered to pay a hadsome sum as a douceur to any one who could place him in a comfortable and lucrative post, a service which was undertaken by a person calling him self " Mr. James Barlow, of 23, Alfred-place," who of. fered to procure him a situation in the employ of the London and Birmingham Railroad Company. After some negociation he presented a dOcument purporting to be signed by the Chairman of the Company, appoint ing Mr. M'Cowell to the situation of clerk, with a salary of 2001. a year. Mr. M•Cowell in return presented him with the promised douceur of 50/. ; but, after all had the mortification to find that he had been duped, and that the signature to his pretended appointment was a mere forgery. A particular description of "Mr James Barlow" has been furnished to the police. He is between 45 and 50 years of age, apparently 5 feet eight inches high, of sallow complexion, with black curly hair. and whiskers shaved off. The Charivari cracks some jests on the young. 1-Tereditary Prince of Orange, who, it seems, has no ex traordinary character for condescension. It was re marked, that at his recent entry into Amsterdam his Royal Highness scarcely deigned to salute the crowd which surrounded his carriage, while his 'consort re turned their greetings in - the most gracious manner. Some days afterwards the Prince received an anonymous letter, accompanied with the present of a new hat, and the recommendation not to spare it, but to take it of on all proper occasions, and the donor would take care to send him a new one when it was worn out. Vy FATAL ACCIDENTS.—On Tuesday an inquest was held before Mr. Carttar, at the Fortune of War, Woolwich, on the body of John Martin, aged 36, a bombadier in tEc Royal Artillery. The deceased was seen labouring under the influence of liquor on the 14th ult., and he staggered and fell backwards on his head. He was conveyed to the hospital and lingered until Sunday last, when he died. The surgeon stated that the deceased's brain was inflamed, and that there was considerable effusion, but no fracture of the skull. He had suffered from delirium, and had not been able to state the cause of the accident, since his admission into hospital. Verdict--Accidental death. HOWDEN GREAT HORSE FAlR.—This cele brated mart has been progressively earlier in its com mencement during the last few years. All the stables attached to the principal inns of the town were nearly full on Tuesday night. The show commenced on Wednesday, and the town was never observed so full of company on the first day of the show. Several extensive purchases have been made of first-rate bunters and carriage horses, and for which very high prices were obtained. Mr. Gamgee, of Florence, pur chased some very valuable horses, which have left H,wden for Italy. Thursda y , Friday, and Satu rda y were the principal days of t he show, and Wednesday will be the great fair day. — Hull Observer. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS• ! (WEDNESDAY EVENING.) TIMES.—As the week advances some anxiety is revived in the City on the subject of the United States' tank, particularly as it. transpired in the course of the day that the arrangements for giving the requisite gua rantees to the Bank of England had met with some impediment. A few of the leading merchants con nected with America bad a meeting, it is understood, this morning, for the purpose of receiving certain state ments from the agent of the United State: ,Bank, to enable them to form a judgment of the nature 'and ex tent of its liabilities, so as to determine whether or not they could, with perfect safety to themselves, afford it their protection through the present difficul ties. What passed in this meeting, and what results it has been attended with, must be mat ter of conjecture in a very great degree, on which, for very obvious reasons, it would be impro per to dwell. Some say that the disclosures made re specting the liabilities of the Bank have struck alarm into some of those who have underrated them, and that they hesitate, consequently, at standing any longer in the position of guarantees, which increases the respon• sibility of those who are still content to incur that ha zard. One estimate has been mentioned, which is not supposed to exceed the truth, and which fixes the out standing liabilities of the United States Bank in this country, spread over this year and a good part of 1840, at `3,000,000/., of which 1,100,0001. is said to consist of bills of exchange, the like sum in bonds, and 800,000/. in post notes. All this sum is independent of any claims the agent may have upon him for divi dends on the shares of the stock of the bank. What proportion of these securities is at maturity, or nearly so, it is impossible to state, but it is under stood that a very large amount will fall due in the course of this week. An important consequence of allowing paper of this description to be dis honoured, with which the merchants are perfectly familiar, though the public are not, is, that an ex pense of 20 per cent. is incurred on all bills sent back to America under protest for non-payment, and hence it is obvious, that supposing the bank so to have strained its efforts on the other side as to have prepared the means of meeting all its engagements here, such an ad ditional weight as that of the protest thrown upon it might bring on a total stoppage. Now, there exists a difference of opinion among the men of business here, whether the post notes and bonds of the United States Bank arc liable to protest or not, and the subject of de liberation at the meeting adverted to, is said, according to some accounts, to have been, whether the bills of exchange drawn-on the agent should not be alone pro tected, and the bonds and post notes left to their fate, seeing that some little delay would, with respect to them, be less material, as an arrangement might always be practicable with that class of creditors, while the cost of the protest on the bills of exchange would be saved. Thus, if the latest impressions of the day in the City are to be taken, some danger of the nature described is held to be imminent. Altogether, business closed with a more uneasy feeling on this subject than has been manifested since the outbreak of the affair in Paris. The letters from Scotland and Ireland convey very gloomy accounts relative to the harvest. One from Glasgow says that there had been six weeks of almost incessant rain ; that on some days, or parts of days only, had it been sufficiently dry to get a portion of the grain cut, and more grain was still cut and unsecured than was remembered by the oldest inhabitant. It was esti mated that not more than a hundredth part of the crop was secured. As the weather, though rainy, had been warm and moist, that portion of the crop which had been cut down and most exposed to the rain had become green from a second growth, or otherwise injured, so that no change of weather could restore the quality of the grain. In consequence of this, large orders for foreign corn had been sent out, and so general had this become, that " I have seen," says the writer, " an order from several small bakers for a cargo amongst them, when an entire one was too large for a single indi; idual." This is but a sample of the letters both from Scotland and Ireland. One of the trading circulars from Liverpool, ad verting to the late refusal of acceptance to the American bills in Paris, says, " There were decided symptoms of a general improvement in commercial affairs, when it became known that the bills of the United States Bank bad been refused acceptance by their correspondents in Paris. The sensation produced by this event bad not yet subsided, though the bills have since been protected. Anticipation 2 naturally goes to the consequence which may follow in the United States, and likewise to the amount of the liabilities of their agent in London. Looking forward, these difficulties appear great, not withstanding which, if satisfactory arrangements can be made to transfer the bank's business in Europe from their agent to really responsible houses and under ab solute limitations, that infuture this establishment should be strictly confined to banking business only, much real good would be accomplished, besides restoring confi dence here ; and on the other side of the Atlantic, such is the elasticity of the people, any difficulties there would probably be very soon surmounted." CHRONICLE.—The Corn Market at Mark-lane has not again declined this morning, but, on the con trary, the factors appear to have recovered from the panic which was apparent amongst them at the close of the market of Monday, and every description of grain has been held more firmly during the whole pf to-day. The reasoning at Mark-lane now is that, under any circumstances, and however favourable the weather may remain, a large deficiency of corn must be the result of the present almost summerless season ; and the accounts from the provinces very generally estimate the harvest as below the quantity of lest year. That wheat will not decline much iurther appears to be the prevailing opinion amongst the best-informed factors ; for, besides that the harvest will be deficient to the extent of 4,000,000 or .5,000,000 of quarters of wheat alone, there is also a considerable less quantity in the bonded warehouses than at the same period last year. From the latest official return of the state of bonded grain of every description, which is made up to tho .sth of last month, it will be seen that the quantities under lock at that time—and, with reference to the subsequent consumption, the return may be taken as correct to the present time —are, Wheat 360,638, Barley 7,073, Oats 64,764, Rye 758, Beans 29,659, Peas 28,426 quarters, Flour 85,250 cwt. At the same time last year the stocks of bonded grain were more than three times larger than the above return, and yet th e d u ty de c li ne d in the course of the winter to the nominal rate, and for many weeks the ports were opened for a free trade in corn, from all which comparative circumstances it be comes apparent that the value of all bread stuffs will he equally high, the duty equally low, and the same or a larger amount of gold be required for the purchase of foreign corn. POST.—The Spectator of Saturday last enters into an examination of some statements made by us with re ference to the financial prospects of the country, the " croaking" of our Stock Exchange speculators having furnished occasion for the controversy. The Spectator has, however, totally mistaken the drift of our obser vations. The affairs of the Bank of England arc before the world, and to attempt to mystify them would be a very great folly in any public writer. The return last is sued from the Exchequer-office of the " liabilities and as sets"shows that the stock of bullion held by the Corpora tion has decreased to less than three millions ; that there is consequently, cause for anxiety for the future, consi dering the partially unfavourable season the farmer has had far securing his crops, and the probability of large importations of wheat from the Continent be coming again requisite, is more than we pretend to deny. We think, on the contrary, there is every imajinahlc cause. Yet the Bank of England has credit with th e , Bank of France for gold to the extent of two millions more, so that the alarm of the Stock Exchange specu lators is at all events, as we have declared it to be, " premature." With a store of almost five millions of specie the Bank of England is evidently not reduced to the extremity that these very provident gentlemen affect to apprehend. Ample time is yet left to pre vent the occurrence of any actual crisis ; but, as we are sending nothing to the Continent in the way of manufactures, and whatever corn is imported by our merchants must be paid for in gold, the merest tyro in commercial matters must perceive the neces sity of the most cautious management on the part, I not of the Bank alone, but on that of the Government also, if not for the interference of the Legislature. The Bank are doing all they can to stop the drain, but their hands are partially tied, and they do not possess powers adequate to the emergency. The Spectator's remark about the " abolition of the corn duties," as a reme d y for the evils of the present ba nki ng system, we regard as an ill-timed pleasantry, and one to which no reply is necessary. We would ask the Sp e ct a t or, however— for this is the point to which we have desired more particularly to call a ttention—whether, i n t h e present deranged state of things , there is any occasion for the Government he supports, and these very Stock Ex change alarmists to whom we have alluded, to add to the embarrassments of the Bank by the hum- dation of o u r markets with fresh loans for the service of foreign States —insolvent States withal ? We have seen how the Mendizabals, the Ardouins, and the rest were treated by the Governments of Prussia and Austria, when they sent agents into their markets for the purpose of exchanging bankrupt bonds for gold. A rigid police system put the Prussians and Austrians in possession of a . timely kn ow l e d ge o f what was passing, and the swindling operations contemplated at Berlin and Vienna were accordingly frustrated. The Dutch have recently acted with similar prudence in deal ing with another affair, the tendency of which was to dis tress them for gold, and yet neither the Prussians nor the Austrians, any more than the Dutch, have been la bouring for many years past, as we a re now d o ing, under a severe financial prePsure, to aggravate which the Downing-street authorities are understood to be considering a proposition from the Spanish Government, one of the principal elements of which, if not the basis, is the raising another loan for them in London. The prospects of the new Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Baring, are said to be far from cheering, as, in fact, they certainly squat be, we should conceive, from the very depressed state of oar commerce during the quarter just on the eve of its termination. We ventured some time ago to suggest the policy of levying a duty on the transfer of foreign securities. A substitute for the assumed falling off in the Post-office department has not yet been fixed upon. Now, there could be no more legitimate object of taxation, nor a fitter moment than the present for its adoption, than the one we have named. The Spectator has by this time a more distinct idea of our meaning. A bold impost on foreign bonds, and on every transfer of the same in the English markets would be attended with all sorts of good results. The public purse would be protected, gambling would be checked, the hands of the Bank of England would be strengthened, and, if any more "croaking" were heard within the precincts of Capel court, it would be at a circumstance in which there would elsewhere be found cause for rejoicing. HERALD.—Money has been much in demand to day, in fact, as the 4th of the month approaches, it cannot until after that period be much lower in value. It has been reported to-day with much confidence that the post notes of the United States Bank have not been or will not be paid, when at maturity ; this can ouly refer to the class falling due at the present time, or rather within three days. We are inclined to treat the rumour as premature, and we are informed that a large supply of specie is expected by the Great Western, as the exchange was at the last dates somewhat in favour of its exnort from New York to this country. In the mean time we hope this latter statement may prove cor rect ; the less, however, that is said about the affair, under the commercial circumstances of this country, the better ; but it is high time that the commercial in terests of this country should arouse themselves, and discountenance this foreign system of foreign banks drawing upon Aldgate pump, when our own laws so severely punish the issuers and accepters of accommo dation bills. It is again strongly considered amongst a large por tion of the commercial and monetary circles that the Bank of England will resort to an issue of 1/ and 2/ notes as the best mode of equalising the foreign ex changes and the current rates of interest upon money. In the prosecution of such a measure we see no cause of alarm, and in the expression of that opinion we are far from being singular. It is a matter of financial history that their issue saved the country in the panic of 1825-18'26 , it does not, therefore, follow that a re-issue will ruin it. Had the former issue not been delayed so long much misery and many fortunes would have been saved. Prudence, therefore, may now dic tate, if such a measure is really contemplated, that the sanction of the Queen in Council should immedi ately be obtained, so that the relief required may be gradually administered without delaying it, as before until the eleventh hour. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. (Front the Advertiser.) To tax food is to tax life ; for it is to tax that with out which life cannot be sustained, and, as the dra matist observes, " you take my life when you take that whereby I live ;" so that even if the sum exacted, from the general community by the operation of the Corn-laws were applied to the liquidation of the na tional expenditure, still would the tax be of a most oppressive and iniquitous nature, as bearing on all parties alike, without distinction of circumstances or reference to the means of individuals. It would be like taxing the air we breathe, of which the rich man and the poor man are equal consumers ; but the fact of one being in a position to pay for what he needs, experiencing little or no inconvenionce, and the other, unable to do so, and therefore exposed to death from asphyxia, constitutes the whole difference. But when it is considered that the surplus price exacted from the consumers of corn is not carried to the national treasury, but solely into the pockets of the landlords, the ini quity of the case becomes unparalleled, or equalled only by the forbearance or stupid apathy which permits the continuance of its infliction. The bread-tax is even worse than an air -tax, because the air is equally distri buted through all parts of the globe, and therefore can nct become a medium of exchange ; but corn is not and by prohibiting its introduction from those places where it is redundant to those where it is dificient, the germ of commerce is crushed, foreign corn is left to rot on the hands of its producers, as are our manufactures at home : whereas but for the atrocious prohibition, each article would find a profitable mart where it would be most needed, new life would be infused into our whole commer cial system, consumption would necessarily increase with the facility of supply, a brisk and steady demand would call industrial exertion at home and abroad into greater activity, and as the wealth of nations has its basis in industry and interchange, the increased prosperity arising from thus giving commerce unfettered action would render the reduction in the price of corn, from the abolition of the prohibitory duties, far less than is expected by one party, or apprehended by another. Here we have from our machinery and skill the means of producing manufactured goods of all kinds far beyond our domestic wants ; abroad, in many countries, they have the means of producing corn in finitely beyond their necessities. Our population pines for food, theirs for raiment and the other products of our artisans. Can language denounce in terms of suf ficient condemnation any system which would raise a barrier to the interchange of mutual redundancies to supply mutual wants under such circumstances ? The oft-repeated ad captandum appeal to " the bold peasan try, the country's pride," is sheer blarney." What do the bold peasantry gain by the Corn-laws ? The interests of the labouring classes, whether of the manu facturing or agriculturardass, are identical. All must live and let live. if the hatter 'pay sixpence more for his food in consequence of the Corn-laws, he must charge the peasant sixpence more for his-hat. , If-the tailor be mulcted in a similar way, he must transfer the charge to his customer. The weaver ditto, ditto, and so down to the very nailor who supplies the clouts for the bold.--peasantry's" brogues ; all must- transfer the charge of their sustenance to the consumers of their products, and thus the " bold peasant" is obliged to contribute his full equivalent to the bread tax. But what becomes of all these extra sixpences? Aye, there is the rub. Does the peasant receive them in wages? No ! for these are apportioned to the mere means of supplying his necessities. Does the farmer receive them in high prices ? No ; for the rents are apportioned to these. So that tracing the whole system throughout all its complications and ramifications, in high rents, that is, in the pockets of the landlords, only does the surplus price of corn resolve itself. The question, therefore, is not one between the agricultural and the commercial lasses, but one between the landlords and the whole community. We are aware that leases and mortgages will be pleaded in support of the monopoly, but these, especially the latter, should not be allowed to prevent the accomplish ment of a great national good. Besides, if necessary, provision might be easily made for extreme cases on a fixed scale ; but even without such provision, the im mense field of operation which a free trade in corn would open to national enterprise, by sustaining nearly, if not altogether, an equally high price for a more abundant supply of corn, would protect leaseholders, mortgagees, and landlords, from any serious loss. But we take higher ground, and affirm that the interests of the nation, and not its interests only, but its very ex istence, should not be sacrificed to the monopoly of any class. (From the Herald.) Dr. Lushington would appear to be descending ra pidly in the estimation of the opponents of Church rates—of the people whom he has himself taught to be " factious for redress" of imputed grievances connected with the privileges of the establishment. The specific cause of offence is this. In February 1838, Dr. Lush ingtop l,qt his signature to an " opinion," which, in its tendency, favoured the spirit of resistance to the Church. Recently, the learned civilian has pronounced a decision, directly in the teeth of the opinion, which he so solemnly propounded to his dissenting clients. It is pleasant to note the effect of this discrepancy between the opinion of the barrister, and the decision of the judge, on the temper of certain of the barrister's and judge's former partisans! The notorious Mr. John Childs of Bungay, discourscth on the subject in the following strain " I have often and zealously endeavoured to divert my fellow-sufferers from confidence in man, especially in the professions of great men, to a course of vigorous self-de pendence in their efforts for religious freedom. Few public men have paraded their professions more than Dr. Lush ington, and few have received greater credit ; but, as soon as a weapon has been found annoying to the ecclesiastical extortioners, this stanchest retainer' of a much-profes sing, little-doing Ministry, steps in with his judicial authority to shatter the weapon, and palsy the arm that wielded it. To effect this purpose, he will even sacrifice his own con sistcncy, and contravene his own formal enunciation of the law. These be your Gods, 0 Israel ! Such of my fellow countrymen as abhor the ecclesiastical courts too much to be voluntary parties to any suits therein, will find nothing in this transaction to mitigate their objections, although it is probable the many who arc willing to turn upon their op pressors the arms of their own warfare will not be discou raged by a decision of their friend, which their worst foes will scarcely venture to confirm. It is fortunate the Learned Knight does not yet preside over the highest court of appeal." Our Contemporary, The Sun, adverts to the same point, in even blunter terms : " We do not profess to be able to explain such contra diction as this. Dr. Lushington must either he very igno rant of his business, or he must be actuated by vow base motives. Our correspondent inclines to the latter opinion. Ile seems to think that the Learned Gentleman has politi cal reasons for blowing cold on the abolition of Church rates, ,and that (he) blends his legal opinions, or rather adapts his judicial functions, to the supposed views of the Ministry. We are not disposed to take this view of the case. We recollect, however, that the Tory Lords refused last Session to allow him 4,0001. per annum, as the salary of his new office, principally on account of what they called his violent partisanship. The 4,000/. may be granted hereafter, si se bene gesserit." We are not sorry (excepting for the credit of the Judicial Bench) to find that the admiration which his " Liberal" supporters formerly professed for Dr. Lush ington, has given place to feelings such as pervade the paragraphs which we have quoted. To no °then- -Judge in the kingdom (as we believe) would corrupt or• "base motives" be imputed, even by the most reckless• A' dis appointed litigants! Dr. Lushington's public career has long been offensive to good taste. His subse rc iency to the Whig Cabinet is now scornfully alluded t o even by one of the party, which acted in concert wit It that very Cabinet, in all its attacks upon the Este bashed Church. His intemperate career in the-House of Com mons has been felt to be utterly unbecoming in a Judge : —while, the circumstance that this Judge happens. to be an ecclesiastical Judge—and that this ecclesiastical Judge has signalised himself by the bitterest hostdi ty to the Church, imparts a peculiarly offensive charactx :r to his political history. Dr. Lushington is likely , at length, to receive his reward. \Ve are content toN leave him in the hands of his former admirers! The Times contains a leading article made up .7.lilefly of rxt.racts from the earlier speeches of Mr. Shcil, v ; hom our Contemporary takes the opportunity of abusin; ; in its most characteristic style of elegance and gentle ness. There is also another article on the subject of o"oCon mil's late letter about the Repeal of the Union , from which we quote the following passage :—" Mr. 0 eCon nell has unceasingly boasted that he and his Irish c arried the Reform Parliament agaiust the majority of E rrglish and Scotch Representatives ; which, though it be a boast of his, is true. Strange, then, that he per nitted this insult, this exclusion, this mo t ;strous injustice to his own beloved couutry. Strange tkat he did not twicld his power to work out a measu:e of equal: jus tice to that country whose representatives were the meritorious cause of all reform. But what. the defect of justice he complains of ? If the pr opor tion of male adults invested with the fraxichii'se is smaller in Ireland than in England, the tTUC re ason is, that in Ireland there are so much fewer who 1 'lave property to clothe them with a qualification.- '1 'hen the principle of the Reform Bill having been al m . xed principle of property with numbers, on what pre tence of equality can Ireland now claim a fra 2hise proportioned to numbers irrespectively of propel -ty ? Thus it turns out. that all the 'vantage groun d 3 of justice taken up by the Repealer crumble at the touch. The subject of corporate constitutit 'us is cut from under him, not merely as matter of no genuine interest, hut as substat tidily settled already, without repeal or other cx - tretne retort—church maintenance and elective fran chise, as a brace of sham grievances and shallow frauds. The great magic in politics,' says this letter, is to , be in the right.' If so, Mr. O'Connell, with all his fa culties of speaking and writing,' can be no conjurer. The seventh and last of the' reasons' for b e lieving- in the advent of repeal is the national hatred of die Irish to the Union : in other words, the extensive ignorance of that people, and their consequent readiness to be lieve the impostors who beset them. We do not' ms:an to undervalue this evil, which has been a distu.whin cause of established institutions in all countries ; btat believe a good deal is to be done by informing the , ig; norance, and a good deal by repressing the imposture.' The Morning Chronicle has an article suggested by the late Protestant meeting at Manchester, from which we quote the following passage, illustrative of the spirit of one or two rampant clerical speeches made at that meeting :—" The Legislature must directly or indirectly recognise Popery, or it must separate secular instruction entirely from religious, or it must proscribe the Catholic population from education, miscalled National. The last point is that at which the fanatics are driving ; al though they are also ready, by adhering to the negative of the first, to leave the whole community, Protestant as well as Catholic, uneducated altogether. In fact the exclusively Protestant education, as they would have it, would be little more than nominal, and soon degenerate into a mere sectarian job. But we need not dwell on these absurdities. Offensive as they are to all good men, they require no laboured refutation ; and the chief use of pointing them out is to show to what depths faction can descend to catch supporters, and how Tory ism, like misery, makes men acquainted with strange bedfellows.'" (From the Morning Post.) It is most probable that ere very long the circum stances of the country will force upon general conside ration the subject of the public finances. It were very desirable that so very important a matter should he carefully contemplated and calmly discussed before the arrival of a period in which deliberation will be no longer possible, and calmness must give place to active ex ertion. We are glad to perceive, in the new Num ber of Blackwood's .14 - agazine, an article under the title of " Whig and Tory Finance," which, though obscure and unsatisfactory in some of its details, is, from the clearness and earnestness of its reasoning, cal culated to lead the public into that channel of thought which is at present so expedient for the general in terest. Nothing, however, is more difficult than to persuade even the British public, deeply concerned as they are in the state of the national finances, and in the certainty that the public creditor will suffer no disappointment—nothing is more difficult than to persuade them to take an interest in that branch of the public affairs which more than any other directly concerns them. The British public is manifestly most negligent and most irrational upon the subject of national finance. If it were not so, is it possible that we should hear so little discussion in public regarding the habitual falling away of the revenue as compared with the expenditure ? If it were not so, should we hear people in every direction talking with something like exultation about the in tended reduction of the postage, and utterly forget ting that this reduction will take away a million and a half from the public revenue, which already falls considerably short of the public expenditure ? How do those irrational persons suppose that their divi dends are to be paid if this system of throwing down revenue is to go on, combined with an increasing expenditure ? One would almost suppose that they thought that Government stock, when entered upon the Bank books, spread roots, and grew there, bearing the fruit of dividends, twice a year, in the course of nature. Have they yet to learn that the power to pay their dividends depends upon the excess of the produce of taxation above the expenses of the civil Go vernment, and the naval and military defences, and that, if that produce be diminished, while those expenses are increased, dividends must by and bye cease to be paid ? Does no idea of this kind mingle with their exultations over grossly improvident reduction of taxation ? We fear that it scarcely does. The people do not exercise common sense and common carefulness upon this subject. (FROM THE EVE::ING PAPERS OF LAST SIGHT.) (From the Globe. The appointment of Lord Monteagle to the Comp trollership of the Exchequer, and the pension of 1,000/. a year to Sir John Newport on his vacating that post, formed so " infamous" an arrangement, so indicative of . indifference to public opinion, and so glaringly at variance with public honesty, that it filled up the measure of Government delinquency to the full. The speedy exodus of the Melbourne Cabinet was now cer tain. Nothing remained but for them to retire ; and for the Tories to enter in and possess the good things for which they have so long pined, and from which they have been so long debarred. The Times for three successive days filled its columns, well nigh to bursting, with the fiercest denunciations, and with the most exhilarating predictions. After commit ting this foul crime—this sin unto death—it was ut terly impossible for Ministers to meet Parliament : the Tories would be in possession of Downing-street in a twinkling ; and the Carlton Club would be illuminated in celebration of the triumph ; while joy and gladness would pervade every Tory domicile throughout the land Alas for us, or rather for those whose hopes we were the instrument of scattering to the winds, by exploding the foundation of lies on which they rested! A plain matter-of-fact statement demolished in a mo ment the fabric which, with so great labour, the Times had built, and on which the Tory gobe-mouches were gazing with reinvigorated expectations. The mere ex hibition of the cost of the management of the Exche quer under tile Tory administration, contrasted with its cost under the system introduced by their successors, showed an annual saving to the public of thirty thou sand pounds. (From the Courier.) The observations which appeared in our journal of yesterday on the subject of the Currency have produced a multitude of inquiries from various quarters as to the probability of a re-issue of 1/. and 2/. notes by the Bank of England. Our readers are well aware that this mea sure could not be adopted without an Order in Council. Should this course be thought advisable at the present time as a means of assistance to the mercantile and trading interests, under the peculiar circumstances of the case, aggravated as they have been by the novel and ha zardous proceedings of the Bank of the United States, it does not appear to us that the Order could with pro priety be withheld. But whether it is in the contempla tion of the Bank to recommend the adoption of this course or not, we have no hesitation in saying, that a strong opinion prevails, that the issue of 1/. notes at this juncture would be a seasonable measure. The great bulk of the community would take the a s readily as sovereigns, and thereby the use of so vereigns, so far, would be saved. Our readers will remember that in 1825, at the height of the panic, the re-issue of some 11. notes accidentally preserved from the general de struction, was resorted to by the Bank in the extremity of its difficulty, and succeeded perfectly. 'When the pressure had passed, the notes were withdrawn. It may be said that the circulation which 1/. and 2/. notes would supply is already supplied by the go ld now i n circulation. Still, the substitution of notes for gold certainly would set free so much gold f or export . I t has been over and over again proved that it is the drain of only a few millions of gold that di stur b s t h e genera l circulation. That fact being so, it seems to follow, that the few millions of gold now in use for internal circu lation, would be better employed in filling up the va cuum caused by the foreign demand for it. We do not say that this measure would, in itself, be sufficient to remedy the imperfect system of the currency ; but it would be, at any rate, a help at the present time. (From the Standard.) We are glad to find that Lord Ebrington is deter mined to fulfil the anticipations to which his conduct EV.ENING EDITION. -:~. as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland has so far given,... and declines to allow himself to be dragged at'i • chariot wheels of Mr. O'Connell, with the r. rout of the great mendicant's supporters. He mit done more he has given them a rebuke, which will take them some time to digest. On the occa sion of a late visit paid by his Lordship to Lady Osborne, of Clonmel, an address was pre sented to him signed by almost every respectable inhabitant of the neighbourhood, tendering the heartfelt congratulations of the subscribers on his visit to that town, declaring their impression of the importance of " maintaining in full vigour the connection so happily subsistin g between this country and Ireland," and " hailinc, his L or d s hip' s G overnment as ex hibi t i ng t h e inestimable advantages of justice being administered with firmness and impartiality to all parties." These sen timents were most graciously responded to by his Lordship, who avowed his " cordial satisfaction," at " the expression of their desire to maintain in full vigour the connexion happily subsisting between Great Britain and Ireland." The address was signed by several of the leading Whigs of the neigh bourhood, including Lord Kinffsb oroug h, Lord Lis more, and the Bishop of Waterford and Cashel, and contained, consequently, no political allu sions whatsoever. The offence of having not only expressed their approval of the British connec tion, but evaded all mention of Lord Normanby, excited a strong sensation among the Repealers of Clonmel against its authors. They set to work there fore, and prepared an address more in accordance with their. taste than that which bad been presented by their fellow-townsmen. What its contents were we are un able to say ; for, on its being shown to Lord Ebrington by the deputation who undertook its presentation, his Lordship refused to have anything to do with it.

Grand Duke Michael ,§takes.—Ephemeron and Bosphorus had a race to themselves at ba..l speed, to the bushes, where they gave up, and Euclid went on with the running at a good space, !Ether following him to the cords, whew he challenged; the struggle up hill to the chair was beautiful, and ended in a dead heat. De&ding Heat.—Euclid went off went off pith the lead at a good steady pace, was never caught, and wo,'► cleverly by a length ; JEther was beaten at the foot of the hill. Mr. Thorn hill declared to win with Ephemeron. Hopeful Stakes.—lt was not until fifteen or sixteen false starts, and the loss of at least an hour, that Raymond and Ten- Pound-Note, the " ring -leaders," were prevailed upon to go. and then the former repented so hastily that he never reached his horses. In the actual race Ten-Pound-Note, Jeffy, Firefly, Perseus, and sister to Cara, were first off, the former leading for nearly half the distance ; she then gave place to Crucifix, who went en with the running, was never after head.2d, and won easy by a length, notwithstanding an indifferent start. In the struggle up to the ropes Jeffrbeat Capote for second place by about halt a length, the Colonel filly and Ten-Pound-Note being next—both well up. These four had followed the favou rite from the time she took the lead. Behind them were Hellespont., sister to Cara, Firefly, and Perseus, the latter making the worst figure of the lot. This is the fifth race in which Crucifix has proved victorious, having successively car ried tub, 51b, 71b, and 91b extra in the last four. Lord G. Bentinek declared to win with Capote. In the Sweepstakes walked over by Lord Tavistock's filly, his Lordship divided the forfeits with Colonel Peel.

The attendance generally was numerous, and of the higher class particularly, much above the average of a first October meeting. The weather was delightful, bright and mild, and the sport of a character which could not fail to gratify the spe culators. The false starts, however, proved excessively annoy ing, and there can be no doubt that they will prevent many gentlemen from entering their horses for two-yr-old half-mile races in future.

DEER PARK AT TAYMOUTII CASTLE.— There is something indescribably striking in the ap pearance of the antlered herd feeding on their rich pas tures, or bounding about in all the poetry of motion, with their graceful figures, branching horns, and soft sparkling eyes, which seem lighted up by intelligence. The picturesque appearance of the deer is greatly heightened by his almost preternatural acuteness of hearing and smelling : he stops at every whisper, erects his head, tosses his antlers, and seems to catch the most faint and distant sounds ; whilst, at the same time, some are slowly ruminating on the grass, the fawns duly following their dams, and others are seen darting off unhunted * to the woods. Deer feed generally in the night or at early dawn, and retire in the day to the shelter in the woods. Their morning retreat is thus picturesquely described by Gilpin : " The day pours in apace, An: opens all the lawny prospect wide The hazy woods, the mountain's misty top, Swell on the sight, while o'er the forest glade': The wild deer trip, and, often turning, gaze • At early passengers." The deer-park at Taymouth Castle contains seven hundred fallow-deer, nearly a hundred red deer, some fine specimens of the black deer, and you can move in no direction without starting the light-footed roe : and in a small paddock to the east of the deer-park are to be seen sonic fine specimens of the moose deer, which are so tame that they will come up and fawn upon you. There are also sonic wild Indian buffaloes, sent to this country a few months ago by Sir W. D. Stewart, a g ß a a z i h t z . c , Mof urthlv Castle and Grantulle y , from t he rocky mountains of the New Wo rld.—Old Sporting lf for October. A serious accidentG letaoprgpeenDedeckr, o e n I h 7 l ri t d he after noonay of I‘ r. to employ Thomas mannamed Green, one of th e contractors to t h e a London and Brighton Railway Company. Decker was proceeding towards his master's residence, near Holy Lane, a short distance from Croydon, with a horse and cart, when he observed a waggon, belonging to a farmer named Stedman, residing at Balcombe in Sussex, corning in an opposite direction, with the driver riding inside. Finding that he could not avoid coming into collision with it unless he pulled short on one side, ho did so, but by same means or other he fell off his cart, and the wheel passed over one of his arms and thighs and crushed them in a dreadful manner. He lingered for a few hours in great agony, and then died. The driver of the waggon that was the cause of the mis chief went on during the confusion occasioned by the accident, and got clear off. GIG LAW.—At a meeting of the Commis sioners of Taxes, held at Anchridge, on the 23d ult., a farmer appealed to be relieved from the tax on a gig. The applicant proved it was marked with his name, &c., agreeably to Act of Parliament, and that he (the appellant), had given under the sum of:211. for the same to a coachmaker. On further examination it appeared to have been bought of the latter second-hand, and as neither the appellant or coachmaker could prove that it had never before been sold for a price exceeding the above sum, the Commissioners held him liable, and con firmed the charge accordingly. NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE , SEPT. 30.—(From a Correspondent.)—We have most beautiful weather here for the harvest, and the farmers are getting in their corn in excellent condition. ~..y: ~.
