P:ighly important news from India will be found in another part of The Sun. The war in Afgha nistan is happily and triumphantly terminated. British enterprise and valour have been equally manifested in the restoration of the Shah SHOOJAH 00L-MOOLK to the Throne of Cabool. We well remember that when the question of the expediency of the expedition for the re storation of the SHAH was first mooted in the House of Lords, the Duke of WELLING TON, and, we believe, the Marquis of WELLESLEY, denounced it as perfectly visionary, the Noble Duke adding, that he knew enough of the country to be able to predict that it would terminate in the disor ganization, discomfiture, and loss of our army. The result proves that even the illustrious Duke is liable at times to underrate the talents of our offi cers, and the bravery of our troops. The storm ng, on t h e 23d of Jul,, of the strong fortress of 'Ghuzne e , was a most gallant achievement, and reflects the highest honour upon General Sir JOHN IKEANE, and the army under his command. His Excellency's despatch to Lord AUCKLAND, de scribing the capture of this fortress is so admira bly conceived, that we shall not impair its gene ral effect, by any attempt to give the substance of it in a more condensed form. The fate of Ghuznee so alarmed the inhabitants of Cabool that on the approach of the Shah SHOOJAH the gate s w B ere thr own open, and the Monarch and his 'h allies w the 7thre receiv e d w i t h open arms. On AugAost, three days afte r th e fi rst di v i s i on r:t the British a • army had occupied Cabool, the SHAn accompa n i e d b y capital in triumph G ofeneral Si r J .

There were many similar discoveries and inventions before as well as since the Reformation. For example gunpowd er was i nvented, America had been disco vered, representation was introduced, and those guilds and corporate towns had grown up through. out Europe, which were the nurses of civil free dom, before the term of Protestant was heard of. Since the Reformation freedom of local trading has in most of the countries of Europe super seded guilds and corporations—which, compared to their former power, are now little more than an empty name; representation has been extended and improved ; the southern continents have been dis covered ; and gas has been invented. Before the Reformation domestic slavery had been abolished in Europe, and if it have, since the Reformation, been introduced into America, it has also lately been abolished by law, which it never was, we be lieve, in Europe. A regular administration of the law and a consolidation of the power of the Sove reign, taking away the jurisdiction of petty nobles and chiefs, was in progress before the time of HENRY the EIGHTH, and has continued since. Knowledge of all kinds was increasin g , morality was improving, and trade was gradually extending before we had a Protestant priesthood or a Protes tant Church. We remind the reader of these well known facts—and multitudes of similar facts !night be adduced—to prove that what is called civi ization has been in progress for many hundred, aye housands of years, perhaps from the very begin ning of time, and is still going on as, or more, ra pidly than ever. How much of the modern progress has been caused by the Protestant Church, or in what degree it may have retarded it, we are not now disposed to inquire, but as the progress has gone on nearly pari passu throughout Europe, each nation alternately borrowing from the other, and Catholic Tuscany having taken the lead in humanizing the penal code, one of the brightest features of Protestant England in modern times, we are entitled to conclude that Protestantism has had little or no part in the pro. gress. The connection between it and the inven tion of gas, or of the steam-engine, has never been demonstrated, and it would be considered ridiculous in any man to assert that the latter were the effects of the former. We may safely say that it has had no share in those manifold improvements in know ledge, in morality, and in the arts and sciences, which we designate by one general term, as civiliza tion. How should it ? It derides art as unneces sary, it chains science by its own dogmas, and it seeks to fix the mind to the knowledge that was possessed nearly two thousand years ago. It has co-existed with those improvements, but so have laws against witchcraft, though they, like it, have gradually fallen into desuetude and decay. But though the Anglican Protestant Church has had no share in producing these improvements, it has endeavoured to turn them to its own profit. By them its revenues have been increased much be. yond its duties. Its morality having only a history of two centuries, shines brilliantly, compared to the morality of the Roman Catholic Church, existing for a much longer period and at an earlier date. Its ambition may ever appear mild by the contrast, for since it came into existence, the power of the State has be come concentrated in the hands of the Sovereign instead of being divided amongst generals, chiefs, and nobles, and it has been not unwilling, but unable, to put its foot, like its parent on the neck of Kings. The Anglican Church was indeed created by the State and continues to exist only by its sanction and support. Not that it has been deficient in ambition and cunning, but it has operated differently. The Church of Rome played off the people against the King, and subdued the Sovereign by the power it had obtained over the multitude. The Anglican Church uses the Sovereign to subdu e the people, and calls the secular power to its aid, in order to I maintain a dominion which its virtues and its law. `th e would not ensu re it. I t i s strong b y Church of Rome was above the law. For years the Anglican Church was maintained by penal enactments, and now trembles with dread, through every one of the clergy, from the Archbishop of CANTERBURY to the Verger of his Cathedral, be cause the Legislature refuses any longer to oppres s the Catholics for its especial advantage. The Anglican Church is not less ambitious than the Church of Rome, but it has to deal with more in. telligent people and a more powerful Civil Govern. ment. Another most important consideration is that the Press has grow n up petitalsoin m o d ern t i mes ; an d if it kee temporal power i n c h eck, why should it not that of the ecclesiastics ? N either Civil M ag i strates nor ambitious Priests have pos-. sensed, in modern times, the same kind of arbitrary fis of little interest. It appears that the Governor of Canton has actually burned the whole of the seined opium, which puts an end iii the question of its recovery. There wO.-e no British subjects at anton, but the A mer i cans—cunning fellows I 7were ithlisina b immense p ro fi ts b y t h e ttansilip ment of British goods in American bottoms. The whole of the Angio-Indian press is strongly in favour of our Government taking ample vengeance upon the Chinese, for the robbery of our inerchants attd 1 the ins u l t o ff ere d to the Representat i Ve of our Sovereign. LORD BROUGHAM. We have been favoured with the perusal of a 'ettee, which arrived by this morning's pest from the north, addressed by Lord BROUGHAM to one of his most intimate friends, contradicting, in the most indignant terms, the rumour that he had in any way originated or countenanced the heartless and mis chievous joke of which he was the subject. " Nothing," says his Lordship, "can possibly be more false. It is not only not true, but it is the very reverse of the truth. For knowing that I had more than once been killed by the newspapers, when there was little, if any, foundation for saying I had been in any risk, I thought it extremely likely that exaggerated reports would get about of an accident so serious as that which had now really happened, and I took the precaution of writing that none of us had been hurt, both to my family at Brighton, to a friend at Edinburgh (where I thought the coaches might carry the rumour), and to two persons in London, Mr. Eden, my brother in-law, and Mr. Miller, of the Bankruptcy Office, both of whom I believed to be in town. These letters must have been delivered in London on Monday, for they were sent to the post here on Saturday night. If either Mr. Eden or Mr. Miller had been in London, as all here believed them to be, the stupid joke practised on Mr. Montgomery »ever could have succeeded. But unfortunately it happened that Mr. Eden was not in town that day, and Mr. Miller was most unexpectedly on his way down here, having left town unknown to me. Indeed the report, to those who know me, must appear most ridiculous. Judging by past expe rience, I must have every reason to believe that the announcement of my death would have been the signal for an unsparing attack upon my life by a considerable portion of the public Press. But it is unnecessary to reason on the matter. The rumour is absolutely and entirely false, and I can give it no stronger contradiction. I feel a kind of degradation in even noticing such a story." Nothing can be more distinct than this disavowal, to which every unprejudiced person will give im plicit belief. The mystery, however, still remains ; but we confidently trust that a forgery which has caused such unjust imputations, and such public anxiety, will yet be traced to its heartless author. 1114:' SUN, LO At a dinner of the Canterbury Conservative Re. gistration Kentish Society, on Thursday last, at which Sir JOHN HONEYWOOD, the Rev. Dr. RUSSELL, the Rev. Dr. MOLESWORTH, and the Revs. J. METCALF, G. WALLACE, G. BENNET, and other clerg►ymen were present, Mr. BRAD SHAW, the Member for Canterbury, made an ex tremely violent speech. This gentleman never opens his mouth, that we - are aware of, in the House of Commons; but amongst his supporters at Canterbury he is a most vehement, if not a most eloquent man. He despises petitioning, hints at driving her MAJESTY from the Throne, as JAMES H. was driven, calls the King of BELGIUM the serf of France, declares that England shall not be the fee farm of a petty German Prince, and does what he can to stir up discontent, sedition, and rebellion. We defy the Tories to produce from all the Chartist orations a more open provocative to rebellion—a more avowed threat towards her MAJESTY, and a greater insult to her, than was uttered by Mr. BRADSHAW. His language was so intemperate, that even the Standard, which does not stick at trifles, could not insert the speech without expres sing its disapprobation, though it thereby condemned all the Conservative gentlemen, amounting to nearly 140, who sat down to dinner, and received this violent speech with enthusiastic cheers. They are as much responsible for its sentiments as Mr. BRAD SHAW himself, and they are convicted of gross in decency by the condemnation of the Standard, their own organ and advocate. " We cannot copy," said that Journal, " the speech of Mr. BRADSHAW at the Kentish meet ing without frankly professing our disapprobation of its spirit. 'We feel that it is unjust to the Sovereign and her family." Unjust ! It is unjust, disloyal, and rebellious. Yet that unjust, disloyal, and re bellious speech —not one sentiment of whi c h M r . BRADSHA W w ou ld d are to - utt er in the House of Commons—was vociferously applauded by the Tory gentlemen and parsons of Canterbury. One of the passages which most delighted them was an attack on the QUEEN and her Ministers fur supporting education without religion, which seems very natural, for the Clergy of Canterbury have demonstrated by their thorough and shameless neg lect of the popalation in their immediate neighbour. hood, that they are the enemies both of education and religion. How far they may patronise super stition we know not, but it seems quite natural that, in a district where THom found followers and vic tims, the Squires and Clergy, should hate an en lightened Ministry and be ready to rebel against an enlightened QUEEN. It is an honour to both to be attacked by such persons ; and Mr. BRAD SHAW'S harangue, with the Standard's condem nation, will be of advantage to the Ministers and her MAJESTY. From that speech Sir ROBERT PEEL may see what his followers were driving at, and either he must separate from them or share thei r guilt. We have no fear from givin g it the widest circulation, for in all moderate and reasonable peo• ple it will excite only disgust. Violent, arrogant, unjust, indecent, disloyal, and brutal—it is a true epitome of the character of the Tories. We have inserted in another part of The Sun a Corresponden ce between tbe Rev. H. T. Dow LER, Vicar of Aldeburgh, and Dr. KAY, the Se cretary to the Committee of Council on Education, which strongly illustrates the zeal of the Clergy in the cause of national education. This Reverend Gentleman applies to the committee for a grant of money towards the establishment of a School in connection with the National Society ; but when called upon to subscribe the resolution of the Committee recognising the right of inspection, th e Vicar of Aldeburgh, with well•feigned squeamish• ness, demurs to the subscription of this most si t* , ple and harmless document, on the ground of dan ger to the interests of the Established Church " The condition," says this straightforward per sonage, " upon which the grant is offered is such as to authorise the interference on the part of the Committee of Council with the management of the School." It is hardly possible to imagine a more barefaced misrepresentation than this. There is no room for imputing misunderstanding to a man who had before his eyes the following words, which form part of the very resolution which he could not find in his conscience to sign t—" The inspec tors will not interfere with the religio us i nstruc tion, or discipli ne , or management of th e S c h oo l , it being th e i r o bj ect to collect facts and iqforma lion, and to report the result of their inspections to tha Committee of Council." Can language, we ask, be plainer or clearer than this ? It is impos sible for the greatest dunde r h ea d i n the Chur c h to mistake it. power they both possessed before the Reforrnations All these circumstances, hoWever; tend to ingest the Anglican Church with a very superior charabterid the Rornish Church; *Heti it 614 de'seives it it be, as it it Wdt, the author of civilization ; and taking ad vantage of that adventitious superiority, the Angli can priesthood now claim the continuance of pd.. , vileges, and demand that cuntinifett CippfesSitin Br the. Cathclit Which Would sever the empire. To judge fairly of the Anglican Church, all the series of circumstances we have hinted at must be taken into consideration ; it must be remembered that it is the offspring of later times and more advanced civilization than the Church of Rome ; that it has been a much shorter time in existence, and is un doubtedly not tainted with the vices and crimes which marked the Church of Rome before the Reformation, except those it has inherited and has not yet purged off; because it did not then exist. We make these remarks to abate, as far as we can, the insulting arrogance of the Anglican priesthood, who would deprive all but their own congregations, of the advantages of education, at the public expense, and of many civil rights, and would prevent them from holding office under the Crown. We are inclined, however, to infer, this arrogance has of late received so many practica rebukes, that all the puffing exertions of Messrs M‘GHE E and M‘NEILE, aided by the daily elo quence of the Times, Post, and Standard, will not suffice to keep it fully distended. There was much unanimity and no religious animosity exhibited at Exeter on the occasion of Lord EBRING TON receiving, in the Common Hall, an address from the Corporation on Monday. The particulars will be found in another place, and we hail that meeting, and the approbation bestowed on Lord EBRINGTON'S impartial government of Ireland, as an augury that the angry disputes and discord which the furious bigots of the Anglican priesthood and their supporters in the Press have been endeavouring to excite, have passed the full ; and are waning fast. Hurrah I The attempt o the Tories to excite religious strife is a failure. 1)0N, Vir EDNESDA Y being instructed, they do everything they can to raider the iii§triletioti dies& and Useless: Inspec !loll- tldeS fiat beatise rht c feel ihdt though the inspectors have no power to interfere in the management of their schools, they have power to report; and that, if mismanagement should be blaMoned to the public eye, it must, in spite of theiti, be eareeted through the force of public opinion. We find in the National an article exceeding two columns ht length, the object ot lit hlB to throw obstacles in the way of a liberal commercial treaty between Great Britain and France. While Eng land is regarded with a degree of horror by the Great Northern Powers as the cradle of constitu tional liberty —as the cloud in the day and pillar of fire in the night, which guide the footsteps of Re. volutionists, it happens strangely enough that the organ of the French Ultra-Republicans can, only discover in Great Britain a powerful oligarchy, op posed alike to the freedom arid the civilization of the rest of the world. A ...cord ing to the Nationalno nation —not even Carthage in the heyday of her power— ever equalled England in the vices of selfishness, sordidness, and an insatiable craving for dominion. We neither see the charity nor the sound policy of repeating or retorting such charges, though we know enough of the history of France to be able to retort them with heavy interest. But neither the people of England nor of France manifest such a regard for the commercial or political views of their ancestors as to justify their being held responsible for their errors. The ideas of Frenchmen as citizens, subjects, and traders have undergone great changes since the days of Lours XIV., and yet we would under take to convince the National that they are n o t more remote now from what they were at that time, than are the political and commercial opinions of Englishmen of this day from those of their fore fathers at the accession of the House of Brunswick. How childish, then, or rather how ungenerous and unjust to invoke reminiscences of national anti pathies originating in the ignorance of a previous state of barbarism ? The National objects to us that everything with us is a question of profit and loss as re gards our dealings with other countries. Whether we send Bibles or bales •of Bir mingham cottons, our great object is to ex tend our political domination, and of course our traffic. This is paying a greater compliment to our prudence and sagacity than we really deserve. It is not true, and we are sorry for it Were our Go vernment and our merchants to pay more regard to the question of p; - ofit and loss than they have been known to do for the last quarter of a century—study the rules of arithmetic more, and those of fanatical and mischievous Bible Societies less--we should be in a much better condition than we are at the expiration of so long a peace. The National accuses us of always crying out for freedom of trade, while we attach to it no other meaning than the permission for us to inun date other countries with our manufactures, without allowing them to sell an article of their goods in our ports. This again is incorrect. All we want is a reciprocity of free trade, and that is the utmost we ever sought from France. " But," argues the National, " see the practical results of your reciprocity. Within the last five years we have taken from you three or four times the amount in value of produce that you have purchased from us. Where is the reciprocity here ?" None, certainly ; and that is the very reason why we want a new commercial tariff. France wants articles of prime necessity, such as coals, iron, &c.; and she purchases them in England because the English are willing to supply them cheaper than any other of her neighbours. We would gladly take in exchange articles of luxury, such .as wine, brandy, furniture, ornaments, &c., but the ditty o n these articles is so high that we are obliged to do without them, or substitute for them ,home produce. To maintain that this is no loss to French artizans may appear very conclusive to the National, but we cannot think so indifferently of the understand ing of the great bulk of the French people as to believe that they will make such a blunder. A case of considerable interest and, as far as w e ca n judge from the evidence, of considerable hardship to a young man of the name of Box, was heard at Bow -street yesterday. The prisoner was charged with stealing a gold pin from the shop of HOWELL and JAMES, and the witnesses against him were two shopme n in the employ of the pro secutors. The first witness swore that the young man gave the correct address of his father—that he took up the pin in presence of himself and the other witness, and gave directions to send in, next day, a bill of the a7iicles he had purchased. The second witness swore that he took the pin without his knowledge, and put it into his stock-- (How then could he know this ?)—that no further notice of the transaction was taken till next morn ing, when a bill was made out for the articles, in cluding the pin, and also that he allowed the lady that accompanied the prisoner to go away with the other things without payment; in other words, that he had given the prisoner credit ; yet a warrant, at the instance of one of the firm was taken out against him, and Mr. HALL, the Magistrate, refused bail, and persisted in his determination to commit him for trial. The family of the prisoner is said to be highly respect able, and must be throw n into the deepest affliction. H e will of course be committed, he will lie in priso n for three weeks —an eternal stigma will be cast on him and his family, and if no other evidence be produced than that which we believe is faithfully given in all the papers of this morning, the bill of indictment will, to a certainty, be ignored at once by the Grand Jury. The young man, it appears, is to be brought up a third time before being fully committed, in order to hear some further evidence on a charge, about which the Chief Magistrate said, "he had made up his mind." The whole exami. nation is well worthy of perusal. The Monileur of Monday, received along with the other Paris Papers of the same date, publishes the following telegraphic despatches from the Spa- nish capital : " The Ambassador of France to the Minister of Foreign Affairs. " Madrid, Oct. 22. " The Ministers of the Marine and the Interior have sent in their resignations, which the Queen has accepted.

We do not attach the slightest credit to this rumour. Prinee METTERNiCiI was expected to return to Vienna on the 28th'. We copied some days ago an article from the Sea /incite des Pyrenees respecing the occuplton of the port of Passages by the English.

" The publication of this news, which we believe we may warrant to be authentic, renders it unnecessary for us to make any observations." The Phare likewise publishes the following article 1— " Her Majesty the Quien Regent of Spain, appre ciating the s' rviees rendered to the Constitutional cause by the naval force on the stati n on the Cantabrian coast, arid ofthe naval administration at Bayonne, has,by adecree of the 14th of this month, conferred on the following officers the insignia of the Royal orders of Charles 111 , and of Isabella the Catholic." Here follow the names of thirteen officers who have received their honours. Thus we see there is something for everybody.—Le Commerce. The following statement has been received from Tours : " The portrait. of the Syrian Bishop who officiated about a month ago in the Cathedral has been re moved from the windows of some booksellers' shops in this city. This sudden disappearance should seem to confirm the report that this exotic Bishop, who was said to have come to France to collect contributions for the foundation of a Catholic diocese in Syria, or Mesopotamia, concealed under his long beard and his Oriental costume, a criminal condemned to the gullies, who had broken his ban. It is affirmed that he was re cognised as such, and arrested at lirest a few days ago. " We do not know whether by the means of his sa criligious conduct, the pretended Abd , el-Mesch has profited as largely as at Tours, by the credulity of the pious in these cities. As for those in this city, to say nothing of the loss of their money, they have been com pletely mistified. It is a lesson which should prove to them the abuse that may be made of holy things. It was on this account that we refrained from mentioning the visit of this pretended Mussulman renegade to our city.—Journal des Dcbats.

Prices without alteration. With the exception of the intelligence from India received thi, morning from Marseilles, brought by the Berenice from Bombay on the 13th or 18th September, and received at Suez on the 6th October, we have no other arrivals of consequence. The news from India is highly important ; for the particulars of which we refer to another part of The Sun. The strong fortress of Gliuznee has been carried by storm, and Cahoot entered by the British Army. These important successes, no doubt, will have a great effect on the King of Persia, as well as on his allies, who will find it more difficult to invade our pos sessions in India than they imagined. The Kingdom of Cahoot or Afghanistan, inclusive of Herat, of which Cabool is the capital, has a population of 5,700.000 souls, and the capital contain a population of 100,000 souls. The intelligence received from China is of an unfa vourable nature. The Opium has been destroyed, and there will be great difficulty in obtaining compensa tion from the Chinese Government to the merchants. Thirty-four boxes of letters have been received at the Post-office from India, which were conveyed this morning by a coach with six horses';to the Post -office from Dover. We understand that the letters will not be delivered from the Post-office until four o'clock this afternoon. THE FUNDS.

The Sheriffs had offJred to the acceptance of the Committee the use of all the decorations whic h were to adorn the hall on the 9th of November. It would appear that the public did not require the incen tive of another Queen's visit to the City to urge them to patronise the untbrturiate foreignera. Every one who knew what the Poles must suffer in a strange country, exposed to a climate so inconstant, Midst the horrors of an approaching winter, must rejoice at dui' prospect which, at such a period, presented itself 0 j giving relief to those who had, most of them, erJ°Y e , ample fortunes in their own Gauntry, and had forfeited that country and their wealth because they desPise d the m an w h o was capa bl e o f en j oy i ng t h e latter with" .9ut em anc i pat i ng t h e f ormer ,—( H ea r, h e ar.) r e joiced th at t h e press was l en di ng i ts powerful , a id 1 0 the case of this poor, brave, and patient body of or pressed f ore i gners, w i t h a sp i r i t o f energy ,"lid brought hope home to their grateful hearts, and " u remind th e wealthy and the powerful of the meteopo r's that the munificent allowance made to the Poles, to whom anything was allotted_ was only about ninep en f e a day t o eac h soldier, and sOmething more than a shil ling a d a y t o each officer.

For it is obvio us that, the returns to Parliame n t of the degree of activity na l , success of the several s c hvols in cer tain portions 01 knowledge, and those secular, ;you'd operate to induce the parties, and perhaps the m.." nagers, of too mar good appear schools to be unduly eager to e xh i bit a hich aro w ante before the world in those p a rticulars - thus proffiinently brought into public notice. do n " I apprehend, too, that Parliament and the ea f might be misled into forming very erroneous Anti e°9 the merits of some of the very best schools ; 'h ose, f mean, which shallmake the Bible, a n d ill u strat. oll e d the Bible, the foundati on on w hi c h hi story , b o tany, 49 geography, &c. may well be a superstructure.

This point seems to me too manifest to admit of being made a plliner by anything I could say. " I must not forbear adding, that the proposition or the Committee of P. C. to appoint an inspector , to be named by the Bishop of Chichester (though I am s ure it. was well intended, appears to me open to very serions objection, even if that most estimable Prelate should consent to be,the organ of the Committee in this respect., Surely, if any person is to be the one recommender of the inspectors of our schools, that one roust be you r Grace, if you should think fit to undertake ,the c harge.
