SITUATION OF THE BANK IN 1793 AND IN 1839. For ten years prior to th e war , w hi c h commence d in 1793, the foreign exchanges were mostly favour ) able to Britain, and there was a constant importa tion of specie, the surplus of which that was not required for the use of commerce was as regularly exported. This country appears to have been an entrepot for specie until after the commencement of the war, when the stream that flowed into it was di verted from its course to aid apparently in support ing the great war expenditure abroad. The follow ing is the amount of gold end silver that was ex ported from this country in the following year : Gold. Silver. 1790 1791 1792 1793 1794 and during these years gold coin was issued from I the mint to the value of 11,595,274/., being above • two millions sterling in each year. All this while the bullion in the Bank, with the exception of the year 1793, when a great commercial convulsion took place, and when it fell to 4,010,6801., amounted to five, six, and eight millions ; and the exchange was, with the exception also of the year 1793, in favour of this country. It was in 1795 that it became unfavourable, and remained so till about the end of 1796 ; and the importation of the precious metals fell off, as well as the exnortation. Yet it is singular, that it was now only that the exportation of specie was complained of. But the reason was, that. though a smaller quantity was exported, namely, in 1795, of gold 32,609 oz., and of silver 1,764,914, and in i 1796, of gold 10,116, and of silver 930,234, yet this smaller quantity was abstracted from the ex• isting stock, which was not replenished by impor tation, and there was besides an illicit exporta tion of guineas, which were obtained in ex change for paper, and it was then that the drain commenced on the Bank, precisely as at present, for specie to be sent abroad, and continued throughout the year 1795 and 179 G, when its stock was diminished from six to five millions, in Feb • ruary 176 to 2.,539,630/. and finally in 1797 to 1,086,1701. So far there is an exact resemblance between the state of matters at present and in 1795 and 1796. As the Bank was then, so it has now been subjected to a continued drain of specie for more than a year past, and its stock of cash is greatly reduced. At that time the demand for specie was • accounted fur by the necessity of making remit tances on account of the great war expenditure, not only on the continent of Europe, but in the West Indies, and in other parts, and which amounted for the first four years of the war to 33,510,7791., end on account also of the large importations of emin which were found neces sar y t o su pply t h e de e, ticieat harvest of 1794, the value of which was esti mated at 8,946,012. At present we cannot clearly account for the unfavourable exchange, and for tire drain of specie to which the Bank has been and is still exposed. There is no great expenditure abroad ; and though grain has been imported to the value of ten or twelve millions ster ling, yet this seems scarcely sufficient to account foi such a continued demand for specie. This is not surely the only medium of Payment that could be found by a great commercial country abounding in all that is necessary for the use and comfort of man.—Edinburgh Courant.

Chartist meetings held :n order that What Passed there might be comonini :rated to the ituthoritim SIR GEORGE MURRAY. This fine-drawn distinction, by way of excuse for backing out of his pledge at the hustings, was not to the taste of the Perthshire electors, who indignantly rejected him as a violator of his pledge. The electors of Manchester had need to bear in mind, that Sir George is es slippery as;an eel. He is a gentle man of pleasing- manners, and sufficiennly liberal when it costs nothing to be so; but Mr. William Holmes might always count on his vote. A Scotch Member, before the passing of the Reform Bill, once observed, " My opinion has► often been changed by the speeches I have heard in the House, but my vote never." Sir George would be found equally staunch in matters of voting. IMPORTANT FROM SPAIN. ( From Galignani's Messenger of Monday.) " The Carlist cause has received a mortal blow. Ma roto has succeeded in all his plans. He began by shout ing the Generals who might have opposed the execution of them, and then lowered Don Carlos in the opinion of foreigners, and deprived him of the respect and affection of the army and the people, at the same time corrupting and demoralizing the troops. His plans being mature, he wrote on the 24th to Don Carlos, inviting him to come to Elorrio on the 25th, to preside over a junta of Generals who were to assemble there that day. Don Carlos, although convinced of the treason of his General, com plied with the invitation. Relying upon the devotion of his army to his person, lie set out, accompanied by hi, son and the Infant Don Sebastian, with an escort of cavalry. On arriving at Elorrio, lie found six battalions formed in order of battle, and reviewed them. Maroto was by his side. The review being over, Don Carlos addressed the troops as follows, in a melan choly tone Volunteers! Do you acknowledge me for your King? Are you ready to follow me wherever I please ?"fhey answered, ' Yes, yes, everywhere—Long live the King !' But after a few minutes' hesitation they added, Long live our General ! Long live Maroto !' Duo Carlos, offended at this, said sharply, ' Your General has nothing to do with the question —your King speaks to you ; answer, will you follow me ?' The greatest silence fol lowed this question, and some signs having been ex changed between Maroto and his officers, the troops de filed in the direction of Durango. Don Carlos having per ceived some suspicious movements, turned towards his escort and exclaimed, Gallop off—we are betrayed,' and in saying this turned his horse and galloped off to the Royal quarters, at Bergara, where the Princess was stay ing. On arriving in that town he rushed into the chamber of the Princess, crying, On horseback—if not, we shall be delivered up to the Christinos.' All the party mounted their horses without delay, leaving their baggage, &c. At about half-past four on the following morning the party arrived at Villafranca, having stopped only an instant during the night at Villareal and Zumanaga to take some chocolate. A letter from Elorrio of the 25th states, that immediately after the departure of Don Caries, Maroto left for Durango, inducing, it is said, the Ist battalion of Navarre to accompany him into Guipuzcoa, and two squadrons, one of Navarre and the other of Gui puzcoa. It is also said that three battalions of Cas tile followed their example. The battalions of Ms cay are dissolved, there remain only some officers ; the soldiers, seeing their country abandoned without striking a blow, have withdrawn to their homes. It would appear, however, from the spirit by which they are animated, that if Don Carlos could form a nucleus of an army, these men would again hasten to his standard. The battalions of Alava are for Don Carlos; as to those of Guipuzcoa, offi• cers and soldiers have been corrupted by the intrigues of Iturriaga, Commander- General of the province. Don Juan Echeverria, having received an account of' these events, sent an officer to Don Carlos, with a letter assur ing him of the devotion of all the Navarrese, and of their willingness to die in defence of his cause. The following correspondence, which has taken place between Maroto and Don Juan Echeverria, shows the feeling in Navarre, and the means employed by Maroto to get possession of the person of Echeverria " GENERAL MAROTO TO DON JUAN ECIIEVERRIA. " Sir,—l am astonished that it should be you 'alio give the mortal blow to t h e cause o f t h e Ki ng by the revolt of the sth battalions and others. Reflect and repent; desist from so rash an act, in the firm conviction that you will never find in me any other sentiments than King, religion, and the good of those provinces, as time will show. It' it is agreeable to you to visit me we will confer together. The enemy invades the country with a large force, and I cannot resist him unless there be union ; and you, and those who arc with you, will alone be responsible for the misfortunes which will fall upon us, if you neglect the frank and nonourah!e. invitation. " Fiord), Aug. 23. " " RAFAEL MAROTO." " DON JrAN ECHEVERRIA TO GENERAL IUAROTO. " Ile who inflicts the mortal blow upon the cause of the King, religicn, and the provinces is yourself —you, the traitor. the assassin, the avow: , .cl enemy of each—who com mitted the murders of Estella—who forced tho King, with the dagger at his threat, to sign the decree which sold and gave up Rarnales, Guadarmino, BalmaseciA, Orduna, lirquiola, and Durango—who, in short, has per. secuted ail who have been faithful to the King and his cause? Never will I j.iin assassins and traitors like you. With less troops and resources we have always prevented the enemy from invading the country, whereas they now appear on every point where they ought to perish to the last man ; but, as you have been for a long time agreed with Espartero, it is not astonishing that he should have entered where he pleased, as be lus done for some time past. Do not imagine that the sth and 12th battelions are the only troops which have declared themselves openly at the cries of ' Long live the King_ death to Maroto.' This example is followed by all true Royalists, and particularly the brave Naverrese, as their acts will show. I cannot conceive how you dare speak to nic of religion, when all your conduct shows that it has not a greater enemy than yourself'. Myself, my officers, and the soldiers of all the corps are penetrated with a sense of the duty imposed upon us by our consciences to defend, at the price of our blood, the King and our religion, and never to consent to anything which risem. bles a compromise with the principles which we are sworn to oppose. The people will unite with us for the same objects and views. "'JUAN DE ECHEVERRIA, " San Esteban, August 26. " " Don Carlos is accompanied by the Duke of Granada, M. Belasco, President cf the Junta of Santander, Monte negro, Ramirez do la Piscine, and the persons attached to his household. His infantry guard and the cavalry have remained faithful to him. The Duchess of Granada, with her family, enter France, and large numbers are preparing to emigrate. The Auditor of War, lame damnee of Ma. rote, author of the Letter of Maroto to Don Carlos, and of the Decrees of the 24th of February, and who took a leading part in the murder of the Ge nerals at Estella, arrived on the 27th at Bayonne with the two sons of Maroto. He declared at the Cus tom-house of Behobie 2,400 ounces of gold belonging to the General. For some time past, Maroto has had a vessel at Bordeaux ready to convey his family and his im mense fortune to America. The greater part of this for tune has been acquired latterly. When the news of the desertion of Maroto arrived in the lines of Andoain, Itur riaga hastened to send eight companies to Tolosa, without doubt to secure that town, as be published a proclamation in which he praises Maroto, and says be is only acting for the good of the country. In this proclamation he cautions people against listening to false reports, and says be will go in person to punish those who do not perform their duty." (From the Morning Chronicle.) It is well that the electors of Manchester should know the grounds on which Sir George Murray was turned out of Perthshire. They will have already observed, that Sir George is what in familiar language is termed a fair spoken . man. In all matters on which he apprehends his liberaety will be put to the test, he is apt to be rather liberal. Not anti cipating that the principle would be put to the test, Sir George ihought he might safely conciliate the Presbyte rians of Perthshire at the first election which followed the passing of the Reform Bill, by professing a sympathy with their brethren, the Dissenters in England. On the hust ings he declared it as his opinion that " Dissenters ought to be admitted into English Universities." What was the astonishment of the good people of Perthshire when they found their representative, on the 23 of July, 1834, wr,g. filing out of his liberal al li experienced optn ioninfay s o p u eial favour of pleader:Dissen _ Dissenters with ail the dexterity of He thought that the difficulty in the matter arose from the necessity for religious instruction in the University, which course of instruction must necessarily be confined to the Established religion of the country. From this circum stance arose the practical difficulty of applying in this instance those liberal principles which he had ever enter tained, and was anxious to adopt. As a member of the Church of Scotland he stood himself in the situation of a Dissenter in this country, and, therefore, it could not ba doubted that he was desirous that the privileges of the English Uni vers i t i es s h ou l d b e opened to his fellow-countrymen in common with other Dissenters, and he should be glad if degrees could be attained by them as a matter of honour; but he certainly was not willing that Dissenters should obtain a power in the in ternal government of the Universities, which power, in his judgment, ought to rest with the members of the Esta blished Church. He should also be glad, if it were pos sible, tint Dissenters and members of the Church of Scotland could be admitted to them for purposes of edu cation, end at the same time their scruples relieved by a dispensation with the necessity for their attendance in chapel, and upon the college course of religious instruc tion; but he was at a loss to know how this could be effected consistently with the constitution of the Universities of this country." In short, though Sir George was quite favourable to the principle of admission to the Universities, yet, as instruc tion must necessarily be confined to the Established religion of the country, he could nut consent to giving effect to the principle. _ THE MARKETS-(TIIIS DAY.)

We understand that the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, and Mr. ROBERT STEUART, one of the Lords of the Treasury, visited the General Post Office on Monday evening, to examine the sorting of letters, and the general working of that department, with a view to the introduction of the Penny Postage, when the necessary arrangements are completed. A Treasury Minute is in course of publication, offering a reward of 2001. for the best plan for faci litating the operation of the Penny Postage, whether by stamping the letters or otherwise ; 100/. will be awarded to the second best plan. This clearly indicates that the Treasury are anxious to introduce the system in the simplest and most efi. cacious manner, and with the least possible delay. In another part of our Paper will be found a considerable part of an article contained in the Examiner on the Close of the Session. The com mencement of that article is also of some impor tance, and we shall give a portion of it a still more prominent place by inserting it here, and requesting our readers' attention to it. The Examiner says:— The country has at this moment much more reason to congratulate itself that evil which might have been don e has not been done, than to lament that more good has not been accomplished or attempted. What has not been done in interference with public iberty is matter of rejoicing which compensates for other omissions of a contrary character. The conduct of the Government with respect to the proceedings of the Chartists deserves the highest praise. In the alarm at the threatenin g language and equally threatening organization of the Chartists, any coercive measures which Ministers might have proposed would have had the applause and support of a large majority in Parliament, and also of the majority of the aristocratic and middle classes in the country, for timidity becomes Tory on occasions of apprehensions of popular outbreaks, and Liberals are sometimes carried away from their principles by panics. Had there been in the Ministry any disposition hostile to liberty, it would have been brought into action upon the menacing appearanc e of the Chartist proceedings. There was not only every pretext, every excuse, fir some suspension of Constitutional TO THE UNITED TRADES IN MANCHESTER AND ELSEWHERE. GENTLEMEN—As it is but just that you should be furnished with a printed record of my opinions on points which are of importance to you, I take the liberty of effecting it through the means of an Address. On the question of the CORN LAWS, I have for many years done any utmost to impress upon all who are in any way concerned in manufactures or commerce, that the restriction on the exchange of your manufactures for food, operates precisely in the same way as would the building of a wall round your town, for the purpose of obliging you to give two yards of cloth instead of one for a peck of corn, to the owners of such patches of ground as were capable of growing corn within the incloetne. The owners of the land say to you, " Give us two shillings for a peck of corn instead of one, and then we will spend two shil lings upon you instead of one, and buy two yards of cloth of you instead of one." Is this anything but. saying, " You shall give us two yards of cloth for a peck of corn instead of one." I should have thought any man who can keep his fingers out of the wheels of a machine, could have seen into this. G-eat numbers of you do see into it. And why is your seeing of no avail? Because the numerous classes are almost entirely cut off from any share in making the laws by which their condition is to be determined. In a market, the poor man is at liberty to exert the influence of his small property, and the rich man of his great. Just so would it be if all men were admitted equally into the great market of legislation;—whit:: is UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE. When the richer classes consult their own comfort, they in variably vote by Ballot. An officer sitting on a court-martial is directed by law to take an oath that he will not reveal the vote or opinion of any member of the court ; and a medical officer on a board of medical inquiry, is directed to make a declaration in still stronger terms, that he will not disclose his own rote or that of any other member. And what is the reason? It is because the law considers the vote of the officer as a trust, and therefore gives him the Ballot or what comes to the same thing, as the means of enabling him to exercise his trust with out danger. The law assumes, that he is more likely to exer cise his trust faithfully without intimidation than wit.'. Lord John Russell says he will not give the Ballot to the people, be cause voting is a trust. So much for THE BALLOT. The lengthened duration of Parliaments is nothing but an invention to give the people the short end of the lever. There is to be a stir and hubbub once in seven years, and the man who wins is to set you at defiance till the end of that term, like the men who of old were supposed to sell themselves to the evil spirit. What would you think of anybody who proposed to you to settle your accounts every seventh Christmas ; or every third either ? This, therefore, points all reasonable people to ANNUAL PARLIAMENTS. If there was a Jury of which the members had all taken an oath that they had a pecuniary interest in the case of one class of disputants that were to come before them, what would be the opinion of society at large on such a fact? Yet. every Mem ber of the House of Commons takes an oath, that he has a pecuniary interest in everything that favours the rich against the poor. There is no use in Hon. Gentlemen pretending to bounce at the assertion ; for the visible practical consequence before our eyes is, that the poor man's shilling's-worth of to. bacco pays eleven times as much duty as the rich. When there was some talk of a Property Tax, where the man of ten thou sand a-year should pay a slightly higher per-centage than the man of two hundred, the rich set up the cry of "Confiscation.'' But to pay eleven times ;—" think of that when you smoke tobacco!" Does this point or not, to the propriety of abolish ing the PROPERTY QUALIFICATION for Members of Parliament ? When numbers of men spend huge sums to get into a certain position, it is a reasonable inference that if they do not take it out in meal they take it in malt. Not only is a poor wise man kept out of Parliament by a Property Qualification, but. it is by all sorts of other inventions made impossible for any man to enter the House of Commons without prodigious ex pense. The evils arising will never be remedied, till you can send men into that House who shall not only be poor if you like it, but shall be paid by you to do your work. No master trades man would employ an overseer, who said he would work for nothing because he should be " aye picking up something about the decks." Just so there will be no good representation in the House of Commons, till you come to the PAYMENT OF MEMBERS. The laying a finger on the ancient prevision for the poor, while the Corn-laws are continued which prevent the indus trious poor from obtaining their own bread, is such a manifest outrage on all justice and policy, that it is only miraculous where the men can be found who will go on not opposing the SEW POOR LAW. Knowledge is power; and those who dislike the power of the people, dislike their knowledge. Religion, which has in ail ages heen perverted into an instrument of oppression, is made one here. The different religious sects might get over the difficulties in the way of appropriating the national funds to education, in three ways. First, by consent ing to introduce such instruction on religious sub jects as all can unite in. Secondly, by agreeing to leave religious instruction to the teachers of the several sects at the ordinary times and places. Thirdly, by directing that those who are to be instructed should pass an hour or other fixed period in receiving religious instruction from their respec tive teachers before they enter the general school ; the teachers and the parents of the scholars being bound to provide arrange ments for the same. But they will do cone of them. They will do nothing but set up religion as a stalking-horse, the real object being to prevent the people from being instructed, or else to keep up a kick-a.ndejostle match to see who shall take most money from other sects to spend upon his own. The men who do the last, do not trust with your throat in a dark lane. If they do not cut it, it is only for fear of being hanged. It is doubtful w h e th er i n this country, money will ever be got from the Government for free education. But there is other money than the Government's ; for where did the Government's come from? The public must subscribe fur itself, to set on foot an education to teach men what is neces sary for their civil callings. Religion is not made a source of squabble at the door of a cook's-shop ; why should it be at the door of a shop for food for the mind? All this points to the necessity of an education which is not sectarian ; or, in a single term, of SECULAR EDUCATION. One subject more. There has just been a great effort made to forward some of these objects, and it has failed. It failed because it took the wrong way. Having taken the wrong, is any body now disposed to take the right, and try to advance our cause by the legal and constitutional method of Parliamen tary exertion? We act at fearful odds ; but- resolution and perseveranee eat through a stone wall. There is a plan for the purpose stated, going on in different parts of the country. Of those who join, only two demands are made. One, that they disavow violence. The other, that they will follow the Irish leader's advice, to " take all they can get, and then ask for more " THE SUN, LONDON. WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 4, 1839 Now, in differing very materially from our Con temporary as to the conduct of the Government with respect to the proceedings of the Chartists, for we have uniformly censured it, we have more than once stated, that they neither went so far nor so fast as the majority of their supporters amongst the middle classes. We have long known that they were importuned to prosecute STEPHENS and others ; we believe ti:cy were threatened with opposition by their present friends unless they did prosecute them, and that statement is confirmed by the observations of the Examiner. The Ministers would unquestion ably have been supported by very large majorities, both in Parliament and in the country, had they proposed any coercive measures to Parliament. Nevertheless we maintain such coercive mea sures were not warranted by the temporary blustering of a few demagogues on the one hand, and the temporary terror of the middle classes on the and we always have ad mitted,otherthe Ministers as that7e tquite conductadmit, of com pared to the conduct of the Tories, twenty years ago, was fully justified, and deserved even to be fa vourably spoken of; but we must contend that the conduct of the Reform Ministry ought to be judged of in the year 1839 by a very different standard from the conduct of the CASTLEnEAGH Ministry in 1819. The conduct of the people was at the two pe riods totally different. In 1819 there were secret and armed c onspiracies, materials for green bag reports ; in 1839, everything said and done by the Chartists and their friends has been openly and publicly said and done ; there has been no secresy, and not a particle of evidence, we believe, could be obtained against the Chartists beyond that which has appeared in the columns of The Sun and other Newspapers. The impracticable nature of their schemes in 1839 has been the theme of ridicule in the purely Whig and Tory Journals ; what they proposed in 1819 was so' practicable that the principal changes then de manded have since been carried into effect. Be cause the Sacred Month was a manifest ab surdity, unless the course of nature could have been stopped; and because the arming of one class 'against another was so 'palpably wicked that it never had the support of any great number of the people, the Chartist effervescewe might safely have been suffered to die a natural death. In fact, it was dying out ; the leaders had quar relled amongst themselves ; they knew or dreaded that some of their most noisy orators were traitors, and before STEPHENS was arrested, dissensions existed amongst the Chartists, which proved their combination to be impotent. On one occasion it was stated in the House of Commons that the Manchester massacre had united the working classes of the North in fa vour of Parliamentary Reform, and made many converts to it. But for the conduct of the Minis try in 1819, which was a continual theme of re proach in all the Liberal Journals, by whom it was never forgotten nor forgiven, it may well be doubted whether Reform would have been carried in 1832. The conduct of the _ASTLEREACH Ministry caused the success of what then passed for Radical Reform, and the Whigs may now dread lest the Persecution of the Chartists in 1839 should cause the success of unrepresented Chartism in 1830. " Where there is the widest difference," sa y s the Examiner, repeating a sentiment we have before expressed, though expressing it in a better manner, " between the Whig policy and the Tory policy there is the greatest tranquil lity ; where there is the least difference between the Whig policy and the Tory policy, there is the largest amount of disaffection and tendency to com motion." On all these reasons which the Whigs were bound to weigh and examine, and were bound to depart as widely from the bru tal, coercive policy of the Tories as possible, we cannot approve of their conduct towards the Char tists. Particularly we cannot approve of their pro secuting LOVETT and COLLINS. Though we heartily join with the Examiner in giving them credit for having resisted the temptation afforded by the applications and threats of their supporter; a comprehensive view of their own situation, of the relative condition and knowledge of the people at the two periods, and of the certain future progress of knowledge, should have prevented them from giving importance to Chartism by a Government prosecution of the Chartist leaders. We have said so much in justification of our difference from so Liberal and so clever a Journal as the Examiner ; but what we wish especially to notice in the paragraph is, that throughout it, our Contemporary appears to have no other rule for judging the Whigs, no higher criterion of what is right and excellent in politics, than the conduct of the Tories. It is enough for our enlightened and Liberal Contemporary, that the present Ministers have not adopted, as the Tories would have done, a new system of coercion ; that they have not strengthened the laws which the Tories for several years found • strong enough to repress sedition and rebellion. W e read and re mark such a train of argument with the deepest sorrow. It is a sign that the Tory yoke has worked deep into our necks. That brutal policy has been so profoundly engraver on the mind of the country that men of the greatest talents and most liberal sentiments cannot efface it. They measure all things by it. The Tories, in fact, still rule over the nation by the influence they exert over our thoughts. Their policy has become our habit, and we assume that as the only criterion by which to judve all statesmanship. Their long rule has fashioned the nation, which is yet, if not thoroughly, a great deal t oo T ory i s h. N or w ill t h ere be a chanc of improvement till the Liberal Journals shall form a higher idea of what the Whigs ought to do than what the Tories did ; and till they cease to praise a Reform Ministry, because it is not qu i te as coer cive and tyrannical , as the CASTLEREAGH Ministry of 1819. The friends of Reform cannot view the election proceedings at Manchester without the deepest concern. While the Tories have concentrated their efforts in favour of one candidate, and are moving heaven and earth to secure his return, the Liberal, divided between the claims of two rival candidates, are wasting, in a trumpery squabble among them selves, that strength which, if judiciously directed, is more than sufficient to ensure a victory over their opponents. This is a miserable state of things, which, f or th e h onou r of th e R e f ormers cf Manchester, we h o p e w ill b e put an end t o w i t h out a moment's delay. Every hour that such disunion among them continues increases the danger to the cause of Reform. We entreat them to accommo date their differences at once, and unite their exer tions in support of the candidate who shall be con sidered to have the strongest claim—that is to say, th e fairest chan ce o f success. If t h ey a ll ow their personal partialities to blind them to the interests of the cause—if each section of the Liberals persist. in an unreasoning and unyielding advocacy of the preten sions of its pet candidate, it requires net the spirit of proph ecy to foretel that both w ill b e d e f eate d . It is a reproach, and, we cannot b ut a d mit , a just repr oac h, to the professors of Reform princi ples, that t h ey are not so muc h a li ve to t h e evil co nsequences of disunion as t h e T or i es, and that in too many instances the cause has been sacr ifi ce d by want of unanimity among those who ought to have sacrificed every other consideration to its support. This is a fault that the Tories never commit. They care nothing for the indi v id ua l to whom they g i ve t h eir su ff rages. With them the cause is everything. They fix upon their man, and having done this, rally round him with all their heart and soul. Whatever may be the private opinions of individuals as to the superior qu a lifi cat i ons of another, t h ese opinions are never allowed to interfere with the para mount interests of the party to which they are at• tached. In the pr esent ease , l e t it be rem em b ere d too, the Tories have shown no small tact in their selection of a candidate. Sir GEORGE MURRAY is, perhaps, the most formidable opponent to the Liberal interest that could have been brought into the field, had th e whole ranks of Toryismbeen searc h e d . H ere i s an additional argument for union among the Liberal electors. Instead of this bickering with one another about I rights, but temptation, solicitation for it. Had GO vernment once raised the cry against the Chartists, it would have been hounded on 'in any high-handed mea sures for suppressing the agitation. A Government which, with any show of cause, raises the alarm that property is in danger, may, in this country, have almost carte blanche for legislation. Ministers, however, having no disposition to infringe on liberty, saw no sufficient reason for proposing any interference with it. They relied on existing !aws, with a clue rein forcement of the means available for the inforcernent of them. The Revue des Deux Illondes declares that it is the extreme partiaijty of Mehemet Ali for his second son, Said Bey, that makes him lay so much weight upon obtaining the hereditary sovereignty of Syria as well as Egypt, not wishing to leave Said in a position subordinate to Ibrahim Paeha at his death. This periodical, after mentioi.ing that the idea of suspending the negotiations between Tur key and Egypt, and of the five Powers acting as mediators, originated with Prince Metternich, says that Russia has certainly declared her own position as a neighbour to Turkey to be a hindrance to her acceding to a Congress ; but that, notwithstanding, the five Powers are agreed on c2rtain main points, and that " a sort of pacification of the East" may be expected.

The Ministers had appointed IVIOSCOSO DE ALTAMIRA to the Presidency of the Senate, a measure which gave great offence to the Exaltados. Flushed with the success of ESPARTERO in the North, ALA IX and his colleagues openly stated, that if they had not a majority in the new Cham bers they would resort to a dissolution, and abide the corsequences. No step could be worse advised. The news from Spain, received this morning is very interesting. Our readers are referred to another column for an account of the interview between Don CARLOS and MAROTO at Elorrio, and of the flight of the Pretender to Villafranca, on the suspicion that he was betrayed by his Commander in-Chief. On the 26th ult. an interview took place between MAROTO and ESPARTERO at Durango, which lasted for five hours, at which Colonel WYLDE assisted, to arrange the terms of a pacifi cation. To the great regret of the officers and men on both sides, it terminated unsatisfactorily. ESPARTERO, in the name of the QUEEN'S Govern ment, offered the Carlists a general amnesty, to the officers the retention of their present rank, and to DON CARLOS and his family any amount of pen sion to which France and England wou'd judge him entitled, together with all the real and personal property he possessed at the breaking out of the rebellion. MAROTO admitted that the terms were liberal, but although he was willing to relinquish his first proposal of a marriage between the second son of DON CARLOS and the young QUEEN, and to abandon the family of the Pretender altogethel•, he insisted that the Biscayan Provinces should re present themselves in a local Cortes or Parliament, by whose acts they would only be bound as subjects of the QUEEN. This ESPARTERO contended, could not be agreed to by a Constitu tional Government, as it would virtually divide Spain into two kingdoms, and lead to the most dis astrous consequences. SIMON DE LA TORRE, who arrived some time after the conference, had expressed himself satisfied with ESPAR TERO'S proposals for a pacification, but MAROTO continued inexorable, and finally departed towiads Lorna, after declaring that the Carlists would not accept the conditions offered. This conduct of noTo's excited the most extraordinary sur prise. Having deserted the standard of Don CARLOS, he refuses to unite with the QUEEN'S General, except on terms which are clearly inad missible, and which never were put forth before. On the 27th he was at Bergara at the head of twenty battalions, where he received notice that unless he accepted the terms offered, the war would be continued without further intermission ; and, in fact, at an early hour in the morning, a body o Christinos left Durango, resolved to bring the Car• lists to a general engagement. This is an extraordinary state of things, but it is one produced by the fear s o f t h e Bi scayan Clergy of the revolutionary tendencies of the Ma drid Cortes. They dread not the abolition of the fueros, but the appropriation by the State of the pro perty claimed by the regular Clergy. Besides, the bulk of the Biscayan population having an interest ;n the continuance of smuggling, regard with appre hension the proposal o f t h e G overnment to reformthe commercial system of the Kingdom by the esta blishment of uniform Custom-house regulations, and a general commercial tariff. As for Don CA It- LOS it is supposed that—failing to keep his ground in Navarre—he will cross the Ebro and join CA BRERA in Arragon. If he succeed in this move ! ment the war may still be protracted for a few months ; but it can lead to no other result than the utter ruin of the Pretender and his followers. We presume that on the meeting of the Cortes, which was fixed for the Ist inst., the Government was pre pared to submit to the national Representatives the form of a general amnesty, whi c h, if c i rcu l ate d w h i l e the Carlists are wavering and disunited, must operate powerfully against the Pretender and his cause. Once the Basques have laid down their arms, it is all up with Don CA RLOS. In the meantime, to spare the people of Spain the perpe tration of further atrocities, we think the Govern- ments of France and England ought to enter into immediate negotiations with the Pretender, and sti pulate at once for his departure from the Peninsula. This; at the present moment, will not be a very difficult undertaking, especially if they take care the respective pretensions of Mr. GREG and Colonel THOMPSON, which, while it weakens them, gives new heart and spirit, and therefore increased strength, to their opponents, it is expected of th e m • that they should throw to the winds all paltry con siderations of a personal nature, and manfully set shoulder to shoulder in the snuggle against the com mon enemy. They must be sensible that it is only by such united exertion as this that they will be able to foil the active,. well combine,f, and powerful efforts which the _other party are making. If through their want of unanimity—if through any petty Jealousies among themselves, they allow a 'Fury to get into the representation of Manchester, they will br►ng upo►s themselves a disgrace the more signal, as their devotion to the good cause has hitherto made them conspicuous among its supporters. There is no domestic news of interest in the Paris Journals of Monday. The news from Spain and the account received by the Government of the great fire at Constantinople, will be found under their respective heads in another part of The Sun, In the Augsburg Gazette the number of houses destroyed by fire is stated to be I,4oo—being an excess of 400 over the French calculation. The K ING and Royal Family, with their Illus trious Guests, were still at Eu. The Duke and Duchess of ORLEANS have arrived safely at Pau, where they were received with every mark of respect. A letter from Vienna, of the 24th ult., an nounces the convalescence of Prince METTER NICH. His physicians, however, had given strict orders that he should not apply himself to any business for several days. The following Oriental gossip includes the little news from the East in these Journals : The following account of the Viceroy of Egypt and hi family is given by a correspondent at Alexandria of the Sud of Marseilles :—" Mehemet Ali is aged 71 ; Ibrahim Pacha, his son, 48 ; Said Bey, his second son, 20 ; fluisein Bey, his third son, 17 ; Ali Bey, his fourth son, 15. The grandsons of the Viceroy, sons of Ibrahim Pacha, now with their father, are Mahmoud Bey, aged IS ; EltPta Bey, 13 ; and Ismael Bey, 12. His grand son, by his deceased - son Toutsoum Paella, is Abbas Pacha, Governor of Cairo, aged 30. His brother's and sister's children are Ahmet Paella, aged 36 ; Ibsahim ?ache, 34; and Hussein Pacha, 43. These three Princes have the rank of General in his army, and command divisions in Aradia and Syria. The sons of Ahmet Pacha are Me hornet Bey, aged 16 ; and Ibrahim Bey, 13, The other nephews of the Viceroy are Sherif Pacha, Governor of Syria, aged 43; Ismael Bey, General and son-in-law of Ibrahim Pacha, 35; Hussein Bey, 38; Ali Bey, 18. Said Bey, who is destined to reign after Ibrahim, will in all probability be the next to hold the reins of Go vernment, as Ibrahim Pacha is suffering under an in flammatory complaint, which keeps his family in con stant fear for his life. Said Bey was born in Egypt of a Circassian woman, who having no other son, devoted herself with the utmost care and anxiety to his education. Said can speak and write French, and has even studied English. He has great love for the sciences, but is not studious. His constitution is good; and, as he is inclined to corpulency he uses active occupations. His appointment to the navy is by no means to his taste, and he submits to it only out of obedience to his father. He is kind and benevolent to all who are attached to him. Hussein Bey, the Viceroy's third son, shows much more taste for study than his brother Said, but as yet has not been placed in any situation to display either his talents or inclinations," EVENING EDITION. MANSION HOUSE-(THIS DAY•) Ten , Ple Mills, a Fisherman, u n Alo.lday applied far, and obtained a summons against James Beresford, the De puty Water Bailiff, appointed fur the conservation of the River Lea, calling upon him to show cause why he de tained a net, which was the property of him (Mills). On appearing bAre the LORD MA TOR, this morning, the tables wire turned, the Water Bailiff being com plainant. Being sworn, he stated that on Wednesday evening last, he and liis son, as usual, went down the river, between nine and ten o'clock, in order. to see that no unfair advantage was taken of the fish. His attention was attracted by hearing a splashing in the water. On looking, he found it proceeded from a boat, in which was one man. while there was another on each side, in the water. On pro ceeding a little further they found the net produced reach ing quite across the River; it was tied on the one side to • a tree, and staked dov,o en the other. They attempted to seize the net, but the parties assault. .d them, and made off it, their boats. Toe net they found upon Plumley-bridge, drying, and knew it from the curds by which it had been fixed, oast of which were left in their possession. He could not identify either of the parties—the net was de cidedly en illegal one. Robert Beresford, son and helper to the last witness, gave a similar account of the transaction. He attempted to take the net, when the prisoner swore at him, and, tak ing out a knife, cut the cords by which it was fastened, and at the same time cut sviaress's thumb. He seized the net i.l his arms, and put it in his boat, and got off, threatening the bailiffs, if they dared to follow. The defendant con tended that the net was a perfectly legal one fur smelt fishing ; it was quite new, and had not been used. It was only wet for the purpose of drying it for salt water fishing• lie had two witnesses to prove that he was not near the spat on the night in question, having been then at Wool wich. He called Charles Houghton and John Wyld, both labourers, who said that they were work ing on hoard of a sand barge, on Wednesday, night off Woolwich Point. Between nine and ten o'clock the defendant came on board and asked for a light; be then said he was going to fish for flounders. They knew him, and could not he mistaken in his person. 'Robert Beresford affirmed that it was the prisoner who • cut and took away the net. It was evident it had been used, but never in salt water. The Loan MAYOR said the case was a very gross one for by using such nets the poor fish had no chance of escaping. If the oldest officer could have sworn to his identity, he (the Lord Mayor) would have inflicted the full penalty of 101. for the assault upen the officer, and 51. for using the illegal net. It was condemned, as would every one of the kind found up the River Lea. The Officar said they found four more of the same kind on Sunday morning. The fish were being totally destroyed. The LORD MAYOR said it was infamous, and be was de termined to put an end to such foul pract:ees, if he should appoint additional officers. Mr. Beresford said the poachers were very angry now at his vigilance, and had threatened they would have his life. The Loan MAYOR would protect him, and immediately orderel summon ies to be issued against the parties using the threats. TOWN-HALL-(TiIIS DAY.) Jacob Antill, a fruiteier carrying on business in the Borough market, was summoned before Sir P. Lame by Stovlell, the informer, fcr causing au obstruction on the footway, by placing tour casks four fe.q from the front of his premises. Sir P. LAURIE, after hearing the evidence adduced by Stowell, and also that of the Beadle of the market, stated that considering all the circumstances, all he could do was to make the party summoned pay the costs. Stowel!—That, Sir Peter, I think would be extremely unfair to me considering that I have been offered fifteea shillings to co:npromise the matter, and refused. S . r PETER LAURIE—Has Mr. Alaill offered to compro mise the case? Stowell—lle offered me fifteen shillings, and I refused. Sir PETER LAURIE—That alters the circumstances ma terially, I tsill never countenance a party who endeavours to compromise a case. Mr. Antill you are fined 40a. and. costs. The defendant in vain attempted to explain that he had' attempted no compromise, because he had not handed over' the money. The Alderman remained ir.flexible ; the fine aas paid, and Stowell quietly pocketed his portion. Stowell, in the course of the hearing of the case, stated that an Act ha i been passed inflicting a penalty of tot upon any informer who compromised a case. He looked upon that Act as a most bungling affair, and when an op por t unity occurred he should compromise any case, as he felt confident that under the Act he could never be con victed. Parliament had passed a law placing certain re strictions upon licensed victuallers which could be as easily evaded as the Act he had alluded to. H AYMARKET THEATRE. —MISS Ellen Tree made her first appearance here last night since her return from America, and was greeted with the loudest plaudits perhaps ever heard with the walls of this theatre, together with a simultaneous rising of the pit, boxes and gallery.- and every other demonstration of the heartiest welcome. She appeared in t wo characters—as Viola in Sh a k s peare ' S Twelfth Night, and as Pauline in the Ransom, a serious; drama, first produced at this theatre some four or five'. years ago. She personated the lovely, pensive Viola , with that intelligence and feminine grace which alwaysoha racterise her performances. Her. Pauline in the Ranson is entitled to all praise ; it was an exq u i s it e per f ormance. The character, it may be remembered, is that of a girl, who knowing that the son of her benefactor has robbed. his father, pllows the suspicion of guilt to fall on herself, for fear of causing grief to the parent's heart by the dis closure. Miss Tree was the exact personation of one subdued, who, though perfectly innocent herself, has been forced to see the progress of guilt in all its stages. She seemed to move in an oppressive atmosphere, as if every brenh would convey some dreadful secret, and yet ever spoke in the firm and collected manner of innocence. The look she gav e to t h e son when he wished to bars).. himself to rescue her, and she renrindedhim of the grief he' wauld occasi on hi s f at h er, was artistical in the highest; degree. At the conclusion of both play and drama Miss; Tree, in obedience to the general call of the audience,- appeared before the curtain, and on both occasions was e)mplmented with a profusion of bouquets of flowers and wreaths and sprigs of evergreen —some of the latter nearly as large as goosberry bushes. The English Government has just pres2nted fool. to the master and crew of a fishing boat of Trou_ vi:te, near Havre, who, in December, 1837, bad saved the crew of an English brig, and conveyed them to England. EXPORT OF GOLD.—Thtre is no accounting for the fluctuations of commerce, front which the mass of specie that floats in the general market of the world. receives its impulse and direction. Sometimes gold will, flow into a country, as it often has flowed into Great Ibitain,, until a surplus accrued which was exported to other coun tries ; at other times its tendency is to leave the country, as at present. It is the state of commerce which fixes the exchange, and determiaes whether it is profitable to , remit or to import. Arid it is certain that it cannot con tinue permanently against any country, still less against a. rich and commercial country such as Great Britain, abounding in the various produce of art and industry. Ant unfavourable exchange tends to encourage exportation,. and to discourage importation, and in this manner the• foreign debt of a country necessarily leads to its own dis charge.—Edinburgh Courant. THE LONDON POLICE AT BIRMINGIIAM.---• The borough of Birmingham is restored to a state of per fect tranquillity, and orders were issued yesterday from the , Secretary of State, and through him to the Commissioner% of police, to recal Mr. Superintendent May, of the A di vision, as well as the whole o'..the London police at present there, all of whom are to be in town and appear at Scot land-yard to-morrow. FATAL GIG ACCIDENT.—On Sunday evening an accident, in consequence of two gigs coming in collision,. teak place in the New-road, a little to the west or Buster'. square. The vehicles were passing in contrary' directions, when, on account of the darkness of the evening and there being a number of vehicles in the road at the time, they ran foul of each other, and one of them e , having the owner, Mr. Seegers, of Little James-street, Bedford-row, and his wife, in it, was violently upset.. Both the lady and gentleman were thrown out, and the latter was taken up in a state of insensibility and conveyed( to the shop of Mr. Jones, chemist, eec., 11, Gower-street. North, in which, after the lapse of five minutes, he expired,. in consequence of a severe fracture of the skull. THE DOG-CART NUISANCE.—On Monday night between seven and eight o'clock, as Mr. Edwards and! his son, residing in Norfolk -street, Strand, were proceeding! along Fleet -street, in a horse and chaise, on arriving oppo-• site Bouverie.street, the animal took fright at a dog in ti cart, and started off at a rate of twenty miles an hour , On reaching the corner of Shoe-lithe, the horse ran or t the foot-path, and the shafts of the chaise entered th , -hop window of Messrs. Burbidge and Healey, wholesale. ironmongers. Several of the police immediately teizedl the horse's head, and Mr. Ed war d' s and son escaped with, i out the slightest injury ; bu t a poor man named Standoes, living at No. 48, Fetter-lane, was knocked dawn by the rse. He was instantly carried into the shop of M.r- Wi.liamson, Surgeon, of Fleet -street, win% he was found to be suffering under concussion of the brain. Mr. Ed' wards desired that every attention should be paid to hint- THE WOMEN OF ANDALUSIA.—The Anda luzas take precedence of all the women of Spain in p :int of beauty, grace, and vivacity.

If he refuse to listen to such terms, and abide the decision of the sword, Spain cannot any longer treat him as an enemy, but de nounce him as an outlaw and a murderer, against whom the arm of every loyal Spaniard ought to be raised. CONFLAGRATION AT ON STAN TINOPLE (From Galiynani's Messencer ) The Ministerial Eveniog Journal announces that G 3.• vernment hois received intelligenc e from Col.stantinoiL.lc of the 10th ult., stating that, on the preceding morning, at ten o'clock, a fire broke out at Pera and Galata, which at first appeared to be of slight importance, bur. after wards spread so widely, that, by four in the afternoon, two hundred houses were destroyed. As soon as the Prince de Joinville was aware of the occurrence, he hastened with the officers who accompanied him to Constantinople, and the crew of the steam-,hip Papin, to the scene of conflagration. All the French at Peru and Galata joined his Royal Highness, and placed ti.emselves under his orders, which were given with jueg ment and effect, The Argus, stationed off Tnerapia, was directed by the Ambassador to run down to Galata for the double purpose of lending the assistance of her crew,. and of receiving on board th e w i ves an d c hild ren o f suc h fami lies as might require an asylum. Bdffied by the wind and currents, the Argus did not arrive before one o'clock in the morning, but the captain with many men, got into their boats, and joined the Prince in stopping the progress of tile Tunes, Tney were nut, however, extinguished till one ill the morning, when his Royal Hignnees, covered with smoke and ashes, retired to his residence at Pera, which, fortunately, remained untouched. " The people," this journal adds, " are unanimous in attri buting to the Prince and the crews of the French ships, the salvation of Pera from total destruction, and are, consequently, loud in the expression of their gratitude. Happily, too, the north wind did not prevail as usual at this season, or the disasters of 1831 would have been renewed, and Pcra and Galata would have been reduced to a heap of ashes. The number of dwellings burnt are estimated at about a thousand, but few of the French inhabitants have suffered, as the quarters destroyed were principally those of the Turks, Armenians, and Jews. It is not believed that the tire was wilful. Th.t local to. thorities displayed their usual apathy, although Ali Pacha, the Seraskier of Constantinople, was on the spot. The Prince de Joinville, notwithstanding the fatigue he hat undergone, continues to enjoy the most perfect health, nor have we to deplore any accident to our sailors. MONEY AND COMMERCIALNEWS CITY, 71 ; WELVE O'CLOCK. LIVERPOOL COTTON MA RK ET, TUESDAY. —The Cotton Market has been dull today, without change in prices. The sales 2,000 bags, of which 600 are for export, and the remainder to the trade. We have received New Brunswick Papers to Aug. 4. We regret to learn that Fredericton has been visited by an extensive fire, and that several of the most exterprising inhabitants have suffered largely by the calamity. It broke out about two o'clock in Mr. W. S. Estery blacksmith's shop. Several houses were burnt down. Most of the articles out of the houses and front stores are saved, but hardly anything from the back stores. (The above papers are chiefly filled with English news.) Arrivals this Morning.—French Mail; and ship letters from Trinidad. We have very few arrivals this morning, and the Express from Paris does not bring any later intelligence from the North of Spain than received yesterday, with one excep tion, that there has been a split in the negociations for for the establishment of peace in that quarter; and the prevailing opinion is, that Don Carlos, with those troops attached to him, will endeavour to join Ca)rera, and con • tinue the war in the south of Spain. This unexpected intelligence has affected the speculations in Spanish Stock this morning, and caused it to recede from the closing price, which was 24-} to 23i The rates of the foreign exenanges yesterday, with the exception of that on Paris, whim was higher, were much the same as on last pest day. The following is the return published at the Custom. house of the exportation of the precious metals from the port of London to foreign and colonial ports for the week ending the 31st August : Ounces.

THE MALT DISTILLERY AT WORCESTER.- The great malt distillery at Worcester, which originated in 1729, is at length to exchange hands, through Mr. George Robins's instrumentality. It is a singular instance of ex traordinary end undeviating good fortune progressing through a long li on of an c estry, during h co o_u3tt e a cm, p ypg e a r ira i pa o n: r d ady en, oetefdhaaeroiner on 0 years, that it has never had to dread a rival, and has remai ne d in the same family throughout ; generation of er generation have follovved, and, in every case, retired with a splendid independence. Mr. Williams, the present opulent and venerable proprietor (who, by the way, is thtesoidldueosuts:laae. gistrate in the county), is retiring with an immense for. tune, leaving to a successor (if he follow in the same honourable course of dealing and be equally prospect most inviting.
