We have to announce more changes in the Cabinet. As the Canada question will be the prominent subject for discussion, it is supposed, next Session, and as the person who has to conduct that through ti e House of Commons must be quite master of it, Lord JOHN RUSSELL and the Marquis of NOR-. ALANB Y change office, the former goes to the Colonies, and the latter to the Home Office. Viscount Howtcx has resigned, and leaves the Ministry. Mr. ROBHIBT GORDON, and not Mr. C. WOOD, as has been stated, is to be the second Secretary of the Treasury, in the place of Mr. T. BARING. As Mr. C. WooD is connected with Lord Howtcx, it is supposed that he will follow his lead, and also quit the Government. We shall say nothing at present of the effects of these changes ; but if they should introduce some more young blood into the Cabinet, or some men of more popular opinions, we should esteem them advantageous. - he question of what the Executive Government should perform in the Legislatur e seems fairly launched for discussion. The Allorning Chronicle says— Parliament has outgrown that period, and can never re. turn to its infancy. At present its great business is, and must be, legislation. And not only so, but what with the complicated enactment s of the Statute book, and the com plicated relations of society, it is mainly through the forms of legislation that the business of the country can be effici entlyconducted. " Parliament has actually drawn to itself all manner of business, down to the division of a common, a turnpike bill, nay even a suit for a divorce." Even were this clumsy machinery simplified, and Parliament ever so much improved, legislation must still remain its great busi ness ; and, so 'wig as that is the case, the Administration must be responsible for the progress and character of legis lation. i We have no ambition for a controversy but may be permitted to offer a few remarks on a subject we have before adverted to. The assertion that it is mainly through the forms of legislation that the business of the country can be efficiently conducted, Amongst the police cases yesterday there was one o, converts the Legislature i nto t h e E xecutive and im- a young sailor, who was found lying drunk in th e plies that th e G overnment must be carried on from Broadway, Westmi ns t er , an d who was sent by the day to d ay b y t h e instrumentality of the eleven Magistrate of Quee n-square for two day s t o the , hundred gent l emen who constitute the two Houses House of Corr ection.

Now, one objection to such med• ...................--41............................................_ will be many differences of opinion, though the theory would not be worth discussing if the prac tice were known and fixed. But the practice Is loose and wavering, and no theory has been esta blished to guide the now wandering and lost men of routine. The ordinary business of every-day government requires a close attention to circumstances. Prece dents are not always to be found, and, when found, very seldom are strictly applicable. If by legisla tion this ordinary business is to be conducted, the character of legislation will be wholly changed from permanent rules, guiding and forming society, t o rules varying by circumstances of the moment. The business of the Legislature is to lay down general rules, within which men of discretion, seizing the expediency of the moment, direct the public affairs. Our Contemporary would deprive it of its perma nent character, and make it at all times the judge of the expediency of the moment. What the community desiderates in laws is stability. They should only change as society changes. The people require that the rules of conduct should be fixed ; the laws of nature, the inte rests of society are so ; at least they alter so slowly, that we do not see the movement, and must continually take the bearings of surrounding ob jects to be convinced of the progress. The people who are already in doubt as to what is and what is not law, would be alarmed at seeing the Legislature assume the characteristics of the Executive, and become the efficient means of conducting the busi ness of the country. It must be admitted that at present our legisla tion and the condition of society are not in har mony ; and that a great deal is requisite to adjust them. On this temporary discrepancy, however, a general system cannot be founded. Nor are the Ministers the persons to whom the people can properly look to make the laws and the condition of society square one with another. They swear to up hold the law and the Constitution ; that is their chief duty.Theyare to carry on the QUEEN'S Government, preserve the QUEEN 'S power, and can only seek to obtain a control over the Legislature in order to destroy the proper check on their own conduct. To bring the laws of the country into harmony with the condition of society, all classes and con ditions must be represented. How that is to be accomplished we cannot possibly tell. In a proper representation of the people, however, .the idea of making the Ministers responsible for the conduct of the Legislature would at once be scouted as form ing a representation of a class, and sacrificing the general independence. We believe that this subject will be yet much discussed ; we are quite sure it is not exhausted, and we only throw out these few observations rather to stimulate than to satisfy the spirit of inquiry. Some of the Tory Journals are very wrathful at the few changes that have been made in the Mi nistry. We wish there was any good cause fot their wrath, but we can see in those changes no accession of strength, and no increase of popularity. Mr. LABOUCHERE may be a little more indus trious than Mr. P. THOMsON, but we doubt whe ther he be more liberal. So far as his opinions go he may give more effect to them than the late President, but they do not go farther. We shall be pleased to find ourselves deceived, but at present we cannot suppose that th e B oar d o f T ra d e w i l l be strengthened by the appointment of Mr. SHIEL. He has long been connected with the Ministry, has held an appointment under it, and his present ac ceptance of office is rather an indication that he adheres to Lord MELBOURNE than that Lord MELBOURNE has embraced the Liberal opinions once espoused 'by Mr. SHIEL. Mr. \SYsE, we are afraid, is more likely to embarrass than strengthen his friends. On one point, that of education, he is an enthusiast ; but his en thusir.sm has never yet been responded to by the people. That these gentlemen have accepted office uoder Lord MELBOURNE, is however a sign that they are not prepared to carry, as some of the Tory papers seem to imagine, their principles to any inconvenient lengths. What Lord MEL BOURNE may perform in future we cannot say, but he is in reality, as well as nominally, the chief of the Ministry, and unless his opinions and projects be changed, a little sliding about amongst the unin fluential subalterns can make no difference in its character. The Liberal party continues to look to him with hope ; but the more effectual way to suc ceed will be to unite amongst themselves, and make themselves respectable for their strength. From all that we can see and hear, we know of no one pursuit which is so likely to form a bond of union for the Liberal party as the abolition of the Corn-laws. On that point they would now carry with them the bulk of the people. It is a practical measure, involving no constitutional or organic changes, while it would lead to the most important reforms. By augmenting the number of the people and increasing their opulence, it would tend to in crease the number of voters. It would extend the basis of our whole political system, and increase far more than any organic reform the power of the people. Without some pressure on the MELBOURNE Ministry we are afraid that they are not likely to become the advocates of the abolition. The new CHANCEL LOR of the EXCHEQUER, going no further than any of his colleagues, has declared himself for a fixed duty. He does not comprehend the move ment on this subject, nor the feelings of the people. Throughout the manufacturing districts, the demand has been for the abolition of all the taxes and duties on food. It is no longer an economi cal, it has become a great moral question. The advocates of the Corn-laws have accused the abolitio nists of wishing to plunder the landlords ; the aboli tionists have loudly accused the landlords of actu ally plundering the people. Long ago we declared against a fixed duty, as worse than the present scale, and our opinion coincided, we remember, with the more enlightened and influential Journals published in the manufacturing districts. A fixed duty would satisfy nobody. It would leave the badge of slavery on the people ; it would still plunder them to benefit the landlords, and would rather irritate than soothe the public discontent. Men do not tolerate half a felony nor a partial assassination ; neither will they tolerate a robbery merely because a change is made in the mode of effecting it. The fixed duty will not satisfy either the economical or moral view of this important question, and we can but regret to see the new CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER be ginning his career with a statement that he is for a fixed tax on the poor man's loaf to put pelf into the landowner's pocket. THE SUNT,__LONDON, ttIDAV, AUertlsli 30, IMO dlirig laws as this is, that it will be s2ti-"C to lead superficial observers intci erttl.; and the growing sobriety of the rettlVitinity will -be ascribed to the foolish, til, in this case, unjust law, because it is intended to put an end to drunkenness. It will re ceive undue credit, and the community will be en couraged to pass more such laws, and commit more similar injustice. 'We doubt whether it will pre vent drunkenness in the smallest degree ; but we are sure that the law itself—that the aversion of the law-makers to drunkenness, which gives birth to the law—is the consequence of an improvement in the general morals of society ; but it will most un justly be described as the cause of improvement. The committal of a sailor boy to prison for losing his senses when he came ashore, is not the only injus tice, we find recorded in the annals of the police. At the Thames Office, on Wednesday, some sailors complained that they had embarked on board a ves sel trading to New Brunswick, one of those ships which Sir J. R. REID seeks to keep afloat for the merchants, by prohibiting them from stowing their cargoes on deck ; but on finding her in a most leaky condition, and finding that two crews had previously left her, they refused to sail in her. The captain was obliged, therefore, to bring the ship back into port ; the people worked her up, and, after mooring her, were dismissed, without wages, and with out the means of getting food. Because these men used a good discretion, and would not go to sea to be sacrificed, as so many hundred other seamen have been on board the leaky old vessels which are too often sent for timber, the law holds that they have not completed their con tract, and the Magistrate told them he would order no wages till they w e r e earned. To a contract, however, there are two parties, and the captain or owner of the vessel was bound to give them the means of performing their part of the Largain ; in other words, was bound on hiring them to provide them with a safe, sea-worthy ship. The law, however, exonerates him from doing that, according to Mr. BALLANTINE, and because the seamen objected to be drowned, the law mulcts them of their wages. The justice of the case would de mand that the owner of the vessel should maintain them till his ship was made sea-worthy, or till they procured another berth. But justice is not law, and law is not justice, and the law says because they acted like prudent, thoughtful, discreet, men that they shall have no pay. The law, under the pretence of improving the morals of the drunken sailor, sent him to herd with thieves ; and, under the pretext of enforcing the rigid observance of contracts, it gives the wages of the discreet crew to the captain or owner of the vessel, who wanted to send them to sea in an unseaworthy vessel. The case to which these remarks apply will be found in another part of The Sun. An account of certain Church-rate transactions which have lately taken place at Bungay, will be found in another column. The Ecclesiastical per secutors in that corner of the vineyard are, it ap pears, pursuing their course with undiminished zeal, although they have found it convenient to select a different class of objects for the exer cise of their charitable vocation. The CHILDs family have hitherto born the brunt of their hostility ; but as they have been found rather troublesome customers, persons supposed to be made of more pliable stuff are now to be made ex amples of for the benefit of their " souls' health." We are happy to see that the bigots have been de feated in their cowardly attempts, and we recommend to all on whom Church -rates are imposed, to act as the spirited parishioners of Bungay have done. When the opponents of this atrocious impost are not strong enough to prevent the laying of a rate, let them resist it when laid by every means which the law has put in their power. We believe if this were done not one rate in twenty would stand the test of legal examination. The Paris jonrnals of Wednesday are almost wholly occupied with political views suggested by late and interesting news from the East, a summary of which will be found in another part of The Sun. What most excites the apprehensions of the French Press is the rumoured refusal of AIEHENIET ALI to submit to the decision of the Five Powers ; and if this statement be indeed correct,, nothing will remain but to cut with the gvord the Gordian knot which diplomacy has failed to untie. We trust, however, that no such course will be come necessary ; and that the Viceroy may be yet made to see, before it is to late, the precipice over which Russia is secretly hurrying him. Nor are we unacquainted with the difficulties which England, more especially, would experience in the employment of force to settle this question. Were such a catastrophe to take place, the union of th e Fi ve P owers would turn out to ,be mere moonshine. England, Austria, and Prussia, would only act in concert, because these powers more immediately feel the necessity of maintaining the integrity of the Ottoman Em pire. France and Russia would act for them selves, the latter embracing the cause of the SULTAN, the more effectually to ruin it ; and we have no doubt but that before the contest would have well begun LOUIS PHILIPPE would discover some pretext for siding with the Viceroy. This of course would lead to some interruption of the harmony which so happily exists between France and England, and is on that account care fully to be guarded against by every true friend to the liberties of Western Europe. It is, however, because that by instigating MEHEMET ALI to appeal to the sword, Russia sees a prospect of de taching France from the English alliance, that her secret agents are so busy in Alexandria. Could she only succeed by intrigues in inducing France to take an opposite view of this question from that entertained by England, the game which she has been playing in Turkey since the accession of CA THERINE 11. would be at last in her own hands. This is not denied by the French adherents to her policy ; but with a laxity of principle which we trust never to see imitated in this country, they exclaim, " Let Russia have Constantinople, provided France, for her compliance, be rewarded with Egypt !"---just as if Russia would be content with less than the whole Ottoman Empire. There is no domestic news of any interest in the French Journals. From the Spanish frontier the accounts are very favourable to the success of the Constitutionalists. The French Government is reported to have received a telegraphic dispatch, confirming the following news extracted from the Courrier Francais of Wednesday : " The Carlist party is daily losing ground in the insur gent provinces. Maroto, finding it impossible to defend alone so extensive a line, has evacuated Biscay. Espartero entered and occupied Durango on the 21st. Next day the Carlists abandoned the fortifications of Areta, behind which they were entrenched, and which Castaneda took possession of without striking a blow. The Carlists are now masters of Guipuscoa, and a portion of Navarre only. Two of the insurgent provinces, Biscay and Alava, are at present in the possession of the constitutional troops. 10,000 French soldiers entering the valleys of Navarre, and taking a position on the Bidassoa, would put an end to the war in less than 1.5 days." A letter from Toulon, of the 23d of August, gives us the following information : " It is reported in the town and in all the navy offices, that a telegraphic despatch of the 21st, which was not known till yesterday evening, orders the Maritime Prefect immediately to arm the four following ships of the line : The Souvcrain, of 120 guns, a new ship, which has never been out of port ; the Courenne, a new ship, of 82 guns ; the Marengo, of 82 guns ; and the Nestor, a new ship, of 82 gulls. The first of these vessels, which was to have been armed when the Trocadero was burnt, has need of some repairs, which may take a considerable time. The four ships have been surveyed, and the workmen are going on board without delay. It order to prosecute the arma ment with some vigour, it is in contemplation to raise an extraordinary levy of workmen of all professions, in the several quarters in which they are registered, and to send them to Toulon. In a word, the greatest celerity is re commended. " The Alger having had all its ballast taken out, was brought into the basin to-day. When that ship leaves the basin, it is supposed that that the Souverain will take its place. Since yesterday the greatest commotion is observed in the port. The telegraph has been at work from merning till night ; and there is every reason to believe that the Government is resolved to hasten these armaments in order not to be behind the other maritime powers which have long since been ready. " 498 seamen have been brought from Cherbourg, but as about 400 are wanted to complete the crews of the Montebello and the Santi Petri, there will remain only 100 for the ships now arming at Toulon. " Orders have been given to suspend the building of new ships, in order that all the workmen may be employed on the armaments which have just been ordered."—Le Commerce. Before leaving Bordeaux, the Duke of Orleans pre sented the Mayor with a valuable gold box, bearing the Prince's portrait, set in brilliants. The Duchess presented four ladies, who had accompanied her Royal Highness during her visit, with a valuable jewel each. The Bor deaux Papers mention numerous traits of the beneficence of their Royal Highnesses. The following from Constantinople of the 7th inst. is contained in the Smyrna Journal :—" Affairs have com pletely changed their complexion within these few days, in consequence of the note from the Ambassadors, an nouncing that the Five Powers had unanimously resolved to act in the affairs of the East in the interest of the gene ral peace of Europe, and the maintenance of the Ottoman Empire.

MANCHESTER.—We have not heard who is to be a candidate for the town of Manchester, but it is supposed that Mr. Robert G reg , w h o i s a t present abroad, will be put in nomination by his townsmen. He will be an appropriate representa tive of the anti-Corn-law feeling of that populous and opulent district. Mr. Jone s Ll o yd, who formerly was a candidate, has, we believe, declined to come forward on this occasion, which is to be regretted, as his great knowledge of the banking business, and of the principles of the currency, would be of great service in the debates which must ensue on that im portant question. MR. LOVETT.—We regret to learn that Mr. LovETT is dang erous ly ill in Warwick gaol.

It was never yet exercised, we believe, on a more deserving, though we rea dily admit, and have always said, a mistaken man. ASSIZE IN TELittANCE. (RECEIVED THIS DAY.) NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—LivEnroor„ AuG. 29. CONCLUSION OF THE CHARTIST TRIALS. The trials of the Chartist prisoners, charged with having in the most absurd manner attempted to enforce the sacred month, concluded this day at noon, before Mr. Justice Coltman, when the following prisoners, who had been convicted thereof, and also a few convicted on the charge of drilling and training, were sentenced to the following terms of imprisonment, with the addition of hard labour : Richard Eastwood, John Pilling, and Thomas Hey wood, for rioting at Bolton, were sentenced to one.year's imprisonment and hard labour at Kirkdale House of Correction, and at the expiration of that term to find bail, themselves in 50/. each, and two sureties in 25/. each, to keep the peace and be of good behaviour for two years longer. Solomon Greenhalgh, a respectable-looking lad, with out parents, was merely ordered to find two sureties in 25/. each, to appear and receive judgment when called upon, and in the meantime to keep the peace. Robert Gillibrand and Andrew Morgan, also found guilty of a riot at. Bolton, received the same sentence as Eastwood, Pilling, and Heywood ; and the same punishment was awarded to Thomas Farrell, Jonathan Merle, John Gill, and Joseph Bostock, also found guilty of having been concerned in the Bolton riots, were sentenced to the same term of imprisonment, and ordered to find sureties to the same amount. Two boys, named Pilling and Parkinson, who had also been taken amongst the rioters, were ordered to find bail to appear when called upon, and to keep the peace in the mean time. Four men, named Heywood, Wille, Morris, and Glennon, received the same sentence as Gillibrand and others, John Wightman being sentenced to six months' imprisonment and hard labour, and to find sureties for a similar term as the others. Charles M'Mullen, John Leatchford, Adam Dond son, John Smith, John Green, and a man named Rat cliffe were next brought up, having been convicted of going along with others to several mills, in the township of Leigh, in order to force the mill owners to close their mills for the purposes of the sacred month. They were each sentenced to six months' imprisonment, and were ordered to find bail to keep the peace for two years from the expiration of their term of imprisonment. Joseph Booth and John Holme, for a similar offence in Manchester, received similar sentences. James Kelly and William Coupe, convicted of having trained and drilled a number of young men at Newton, near Manchester, were sentenced to eighteen months' imprisonment and hard labour in Kirkdale House of Correction. Four young men,named James and William Bardsley, Cox, and Warden, who had pleaded guilty to a charge of drilling at Ashton-under-Lyne, were sentenced to six months' imprisonment and hard labour, and to find sureties for two years horn the expiration of their term of imprisonment. Six young men named Naylor, Hodges, Wri g ht, Darren, Stan s fi e ld, and Ward, for having been drilled at Newton, were sentenced to four months' imprison ment and to find sureties for their good behaviour for two years longer. In addition to the above, true bills have been found against Mr. Fearg us O'Connor, Mr. J. B. O'Brien, to gether with several other Members of the National Convention, and about forty other Chartists, some of whom have been taken into custody and have traversed until the next assizes. The sentencing of the above named persons concluded the business in the Criminal Court ; after which the Learned Judge proceeded to assist Mr. Baron Maule in the trial of such causes as were ready for being heard. MONEYAND COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Arrivals this morning—French and Ostend mails; s hip letters from Mauritius and Jamaica. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, THURSDAY.—....WO have had only a moderate demand for cotton to-day, and prices are rather easier. Sales 2,500 bales. THE FUNDS. We have no arrivals this morning of any consequence; they are very few in number. It was generally expected yesterday that a notice would have been issued by the Bank Directors to advance money on temporary loans ; but th e regular time for issuing the notice is not until next we e k ; by some persons it is imagined that this accommodation will be discontinued—but this is not likely to take place, as the commercial affairs, by such an operation, would be greatly affected, and no doubt would cause a number of failures both in the manufacturing and commercial com munity. The Bank at present arc liberal in their dis counts, but it is supposed that the chief point on the tapis is, whether the Directors will include Exchequer Bills on their temporary advance of loans. The British Funds are heavy this morning., and have receded per cent. from the leaving off prices of yesterday. The cause is stated to be owing to the whole of the Consol Account not being settled, also that the Bank intends to confine their discounts to a very nar row compass, not with reference to the quality of paper but only to the amount. It is supposed that this intima tion has recently caused the great pressure on the Money Market. Discounts and accommodations still continue at a very high rate. Consols may be quoted at present 91i for the Account, closed at 92 to ; Money, 90i 91; Exchequer Bills, 12 14; Bank Stock, 18411851; India Stock, 247 249. This being the pay day for the settling of the Account of yesterday both the brokers and jobbers are busy in paying and receiving their balances. In the Foreign Market it is the settling and pay day for the Account, consequently in both houses they arc actively employed in paying and receiving. In Spanish Active there has been a rise of about 2 per cent. during the Account. Spanish not quite so good as the closing price, which was 2 11 13 1, cl a g t ia p n re , s l e o n 2 t i 2l lt3 i l ; ; P tc o o r . - Dutch Two-and-a-Half o u m g ü b e i a s n e 3 29 113 ; 2 , I_3 l r ; a Mexican,i• 8 i 2;B ; per Cents., 544; Five per Cents., 103 i.

No. 2,615, OMNIBUS LOITERING.—On Saturday last, at Bow-street, t h e d r i ver o f B enne tt' s Mile.end om n ib us , was fined 20s. for an infringement of the clause 18 of th o N ew Metropolitan Stage Carriage Act, by walking his horses from Charing Cross to the Adelphi. The worthy Magistrate (Mr. Alinshull) expressed his regret that the police officers had not instructions from the Commissioners, to summon all drivers who loiter on their journey t o t h e annoyance and loss of t i me o f t h e passen gers. A very mistaken notion exists, that if t h e omn ib us is movin g on no offence is committed; b ut t hi s i s alto gether an error, as the words of the Act are , " or s h a ll improp er l y ignorance o f t h e Act, or a ' discredita bl e sup i neness on th e delay suc h carr i age on a ny journey." By an part of the City Magistrates, the Poultry is now an omni bus stand. The Act falls far short in stringency ; for oitering, stopping at this or that house of call, is as much elt by the public as ever. Almost every body but a crip. pie can walk faster than an omnibus is driven, A few days since the boa constrictor in the me nagery of M. Van Aken, at Rotterdam, very nearly de stroyed it s k eeper. He was about to g i ve th e sna k e a young livi ng goat, when the reptile, which bad become ravenous by b e i ng k ept three mont h s w ithout food, i n it s eagerness t o se i ze i ts prey, wound its fo ld s roun d t h e arm of the keeper, and would, in all probability, have killed him had not M. Aken and four assistants, by their united force, compelled the snake to di3entwine itself sufficiently to get the poor man released. He suffered severely from the crush, but no bone was broken, and in two or three days be was able to resume his service. —Galignani's Messenger.

CHURCH RATES. BUNGAY, ST. MARY, AUG. 29. This vexed question has received another temporary settlement, and the authorities of the Church another repulse. On the 19th of June last, a Church-rate was made in *Vestry, the well known Archdeacon Glover presiding at the ceremony. Application for payment was immediately made by the Churchwardens to several of the persons who have previously refused to pay, but omitting those who had before defended themselves, and defeated the rate. Legal proceedings were first taken against one pa rishioner, Mr. Thomas, between whom and one of the Churchwardens a psrsonal quarrel exists, and as it was deemed advisable to suffer collection in one case, with a view to future proceedings, no defence was offered, and distraint and sale followed. Summonses were then taken out against five more parishioners, which came on for hearing before J. L. Bedingfeld, Esq., and Mr. Butcher, on the 15th instant. A barrister, Mr. Cooper of Norwich, appeared for the defence, and proved that the notice by which the Vestry had been called was invalid, by reason that although it had been published three clear days before the day of holding the Vestry, as the statute requires, such pub lication had not been been made on a Sunday three days before the Vestry. Mr. BUTCHER, the Magistrate, who moved the rate in Vestry, :el - flanked that it ts.as a pity to tipscc rate by a quibble, and a fortnight was taken for delibe- ration. On Thursday last, the defendants were in waiting ;o receive the decision, but before the arrival of one of the Justices, the Churchwardens gave notice that they had abandoned all the informations—preferring, it is presumed, to be " let down easy,"—to retire rather than be kicked out. We advise the extensive adoption of the tactics which have for the last two years been found successful in this parish, viz., to examine the Church-rates with the help of an ecclesiastical lawyer, and to find, as it is in almost every case practicable to do, a flaw in its le gality. It is useful to know that the omission of any property from the rate, or inequality of assessment, renders it invalid beyond all power of correction. MEETING OF MR. O'CONNELL'S CONSTITUENTS. (Abridged from the Dublin Pilot of WednFsday.) This day a meeting of Mr. O'Connell's constituents was held in the Corn Exchange, pursuant to his requisition calling them together. At the hour named in the adver tisement the room was filled by numbers of respectable people. At half-past one o'clock Mr. O'Connell entered the room, and was received with deafening cheers. As soon as the cheering had subsided, he moved that LAURENCE FINN, Esq., should take the Chair. Mr. RA r read the advertisement convening the meeting. Mr. O'CONNELL then rose, and was received with anew burst of applause. He said—Mr. Chairman and Gentle men, I must congratulate you on those subjects which are the causes of either satisfaction or exultation. Among those subjects of gratulation there is one which principally demands attention, and that ist he very happy administration of the Executive Government, especially in this country.—(Cheers.) What Lord Normanby so nobly and so well began, Lord Ebrington is (and to his honour be it said) quietly, because in happier times, but firmly, carrying out.—( Cheers.) We may have more en thusiastically grateful sentiments for Lord Normanby than for his successor, but we respect Lord Ebrington not the less.—( Hear, hear.) Our hearts are bound to Lord Normanby, because the ancient enemies of Ireland are his bitterest enemies.—( Cheering.) We ought to love him with a warmth of affection proportioned to the hate which they bear him, and we d o . —(R enewe d cheering.) The conduct which drew upon him the hatred of the bad men who so long oppressed us makes us cling to him the more, and forces us to entertain towards him feelings which no other could excite. He was the first that struck down the combined monster of bigotry and intolerance that so long oppressed Ireland.—( Cheers.) He was the first that gave the death-blow to the Orange ascendancy, and opened the offices of the State to men who could fill them, whatever might be their creed. Lord Normanby hewed the way, and Lord Ebrington is walking in it. The enemy even, who were so noisy under his predecessor, are lulled down into apparent quietude. Sir, this is one subject on which I would congratulate the country—the rest are the recent appointments, which I am convinced must delight you all.—( Hear, hear, and cheers.) Lord Melbourne does well to make no distinction of creed in selecting men to fill the high offices of the State.—( Hear, hear, hear.) The Catholics of the empire are now beginning to feel that they are really emancipated.—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") And when we see the appointment of that sterling patriot and distinguished individual, Mr. Wyse—( Cheers)—to the high office of Lord of the Trea sury, which has been conferred on him, must we not feel gratitude to the Ministry, who have conferred a benefit on the public by elevating the individual to the position which he deserved ? There is no man more highly gifted than Mr. Wyse. He has been the patron and the useful advo cate of a free and enlightened system of education in all parts of the world—( Hear, hear)—and his mind and great talents have placed him among the most eminent men of his age. I rejoice, too, that that excellent gentleman, Mr. More O'Ferrall, is to be raised to a position where his utility will be increased.—( Hear, hear.) And when I recollect that Richard Sheil—(Cheers)—has been ap pointed to the Board of Control, how must I feel ? ( Cheers.) lam happy to have it in my power to do jus tice to that excellent patriot, and to add my testimony to others of his merit, worth, and genius.—(Cheers.) I think, then, I am borne out in stating that there are many subjects of gratulation surrounding us.—( Hear.) Is it nothing that the judicial bench has received so many orna ments ?—( Hear.) Need I mention the name of Stephen Woulfe ?—( Loud cheers.) And though he may not have been an agitator, nor have taken a part in the struggle, I cannot forget the name of Mr. Ball.—(Cheers.) And what may I not say of my loved friend, Sir Michael O'Loghlen ?—(Loud cheers.) Since the world began anything so atrocious, anything so disgraceful to the indi vidual from whom it emanated, anything so false in fact and foul in intention as the attack of Lord Brougham upon that much and deservedly esteemed man was never wit nessed.—(Tremendous cheers.) But the foulness, and falseness, and bitterness of the attack stained only him by whom it was uttered, while it left the robe of Sir Michael O'Loghlen pure and unsullied.—( Cheers.) I cannot pass over the name of Baron Richards in giving acatalogue of the good men who have been elevated to the bench.—( Cheers. ) I love to dwell upon these things before I come to other topics, upon which I shall have occasion to speak diffe rently.—( Hear, hear.) Sir, Wellington and Peel opposed with all their might one measure of general advantage to the empire at large which passed during the last . Session of Parliament. Humble as I am, I feel a pride in boast ing before my constituents that I took an active part in Promoting that measure--ssZelately, the general reduction of postage.--( Cheers.) It is not asks desirable as being tis eUtteet for the holiest affections of the heest, but it will ttliebtirege Ilitetatore in every possible way.--( Hear, hear. ) Every ohs Wilt thee find it necessary to read and write; and thus will a sprilig 1)6 given to education in every de partment of society.—( Hear.) Sir, all these things put together must go down to posterity as proofs of the ex cellence of the Whig Ministers, and he a triumph over their enemies. f cotta now to that which relates more par. ticularly to the business of the day. I have brought you together to bring under your consideration the entire griev mans Under which we labour, and to discuss with you what we looked for at the commencement of the Session, when you will clearly ate how little we have obtained of all we we then desired.--( Hear, hear.) The first great evil to which we directed our attention was the state of franchise. —( Hear, hear.) It is notoriously in a bad state in both countries; but in England it is as 19 per cent. of the male adult population, while in Ireland it is not five.--( Hear, hear.) We demand to be placed on the same footing with England, even though a greater extension be given to the people of that country than they now possess. I demanded that footing from the present Administration, and carried with me to England that demand as that of the Irish people, and it has been miserably rejected. Sir, the next grievance of which we had to complain, and which remains unredressed, is the franchise of the cities and towns.—(Hear.) The next grievance of which we had to complain was the state of our Corporations— it was admitted by all parties to be a grievance of great magnitude, and let it go abroad through Ireland, that notwithstanding such admission we could obtain no redress.—( Hear, hear. ) The next topic to which I shall refer is the Poor-law ; it has been supported by many honest men and sincere phi lanthropists, all actuated by the very best motives, who only wished to improve the condition of the poor of their country. The operation of that law has not yet come on you. I opposed that law, because I was of opinion that it would produce more misery than relief—that we were too poor for it. It will, I fear, be found after a short time, that this law will press too heavily on the country ; but before that time arrives we ought to demand, with a strong voice, that the rent-charge of 75 per cent., which exists in lieu of Tithes, be appropriated to the purposes of the Poor- law.—( Cheers.) There are many highly influential men in the country who were altogether opposed to Tithes in any shape. Let them support, me now to get the 75 per cent. rent-charge transferred to the support of the poor.— (Continued cheering.) Ido not want to sacrifice the incomes of the existing clergy—l would not deprive them of the means of support, but the State should take this rent-charge and should procure a respectable mainte nance for the clergy—let the Catholic, the Presbyterian, and the Protestant, be all taxed for the support of their own clergy ; but let the rent-charge at present in ex istence be applied to the Poor-law.—( Continued cheering.) The next topic on which I shall address you is on the sub ject of railways in Ireland.--( Hear, hear.) We were opposed on this question, not only by the Tories, but by the Radicals. The Goveanment brought in a measure for 30,0001., to bo disposed of in the education of the entire population of the kingdom. It was, to be sure, an im mense bounty to bestow 30,0001. on the education of nineteen millions.—(Hear, hear.) But how was this splendid grant received?—( Hear, hear.) They raised a great commotion all through England on the subject lest the Catholics should obtain any benefit by it, as if it was proposed that the Queen should marry a Papist, and go publicly to mass.—( Hear, and laughter.) Out came the Wesleyan Methodists.—( Loud laughter.) They attacked the measure in a most furious manner, but I came out upon them, and I told these men themselves what mul titudes of them did not know a word about, and I told their wives and children what kind of a genius John Wesley, their founder, really was.—( Loud laughter.) The next question to which I have to call your attention, is of great public importance, I mean the renewal of the Bank of Ireland charter.—( Hear, hear.) They would have that monopoly continued for fifteen years longer but for my exertions.—( Hear, bear.) Now, I was determined that they should not get it, and I succeeded in my opposi tion.—(Cheers.) They shall not procure the proposed extension, for I will let the public see that by the present monopoly the fortunes of mercantile men within fifty miles of Dublin, are at the mercy of this corporation.—( Hear.) The Learned Gentleman then, at some length, deprecated the conduct of the Chartists, and went on to say—l have showed you that we must despair of obtaining any thing from England—( Hear, hear)—l have told you that from the Imperial Parliament there is no hope—( Hear)—l have told you that the Tories rage rampant in England—that the House of Lords is opposed—that the middle classes, even if friendly, are frightened and deterred from assisting us by the Chartists—in fact that we have no prospects before us from that quarter ?—( Hear, hear.) Where is the use of boasting of our loyalty ? What is the utility of sending Representatives to England? All is of no use.— (Hear, hear, and loud cheers.) Your petitions are re jected with scorn, and the remonstrances of your advocates are met with a sneer.—( Hear, hear.) Once more I re peat, you will get none of your rights from England.— ( Hear, hear.) There is only one thing possible, and that is the repeal ! (Here the Hon. Speaker was interrupted by one of the most enthusiastic bursts of applause that we have ever heard. The cheering was renewed for several minutes, each time more loudly than before ; when it sub sided he continued)—l have said it—l repeat it—there is nothing for us but the repeal of the Union.—( Cheers.) We must not any longer say that we will wait for this or that, or we will see whether we will make an impression there or elsewhere. lam thoroughly convinced that it is now my duty to look for the repeal.—(Loud cheers.) I must be cautious and deliberative, but from this day forth to the end of my life I am a repealer.—(Renewed cheer ing.) I have turned the subject in my mind well and often. Most solemnly. I repeat, have I weighed the matter in my mind, and this day begins my agitation for repeal.—(Great cheering.) I must be cool and cautious, but my efforts will be determined and continuous.—( Cheers.) The first objection that I will have to meet is that by repeal of the Union we mean a severance from England. I deny it with scorn.—( Hear, hear.) The Sovereign of these realms (God bless her) has not in her widely-extended dominions a subject more loyal, one more opposed to her enemies, or one less likely to insist in taking one gem from her diadem than I. When we seek for a repeal of the Union we seek for true combination—a perfect union and not a separation. —( Hear.) Jamaica has a Legislature of its own, and still is subject to the Crown. Even Barbadoes has a domestic Legislature, and yet the power of the Sovereign is not weakened by it. New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, all the colonies have their own local Legislatures, and yet they are still subject to the Queen. [Left speaking.] LLOYD'S SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY DEAL, AUG. 29.—Wind S.

ENGRAVING ON MARBLE.—A discovery of some importance to the statuary has recently been made by Mr. C. Page, of Pimlico, by means of which engraving on marble is greatly improved. In cutting letters in mar ble in the ordinary method the edges chip off, and the de fects arc covered by painting them over; but Mr. Page obviates this difficulty by covering the surface of the po lished marble with a coat of cement before the chisel is used. The cement effectually prevents the marble from chipping, and when the coating is removed the letters re main as perfect as if cut in copper. • BRUSSELS, AUG. 28.—The average price o r Wheat last week was 23f. 68e., and of Rye 121. 70c. per hectolitre.

How THE LANDLORDS FEEL—A sturdy Corn-law repealer was, the other day, on the top of a coach in company with one of our most wealthy Tory landlords. The conversation turned to the state of the harvest and the Corn-laws, which our friead condemned in no measured terms. The laird emphatically confessed he had come to the same opinion, and stated what be knew to be the fact, that the intelligent among the landed interest felt that to maintain the Corn-laws was utterly hopeless; but, conti nued he, " it all depends on the unanimity and spirit of the people. So long as they don't pull together we are com paratively safe ; but let them be united and determined, and the landed interest will be like chaff before a strong wind."—Scottish Pilot.

HINDU BELIEF.--The Hindu hell is a place of punishment replete with the most terrific accompani ments. In painting its frightful features, all the fertility of eastern imagination has been exhausted. The Scrip tures of Christianity are content with conveying to the hu man mind some conception of the misery and wretchedness that await unrepented guilt, by calling forth the figures of darkness unutterable; the tortures of a fire that is never quenched; the gnawings of a worm that never dies; weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. The Brah minical books affect to describe the place of future punish ment with the minutest exactness; portioning the species of punishment that there awaits the wicked, and the pe riods to which they shall be subjected to its penalties, pro portioned, of course, to the magnitude of their crimes on earth. The universally-received doctrine of ultimate ab sorption of every thing into the Deity, precludes the belief of the eternity of hell torments; and, according to the orthodox creed, the most wicked and unholy are at length so purified, and made perfect, as to be fit for this, the last . and happiest state of bei ng — t h e a enihilati on o f individu ality, and the utter and fi na l ext i nct i ol of all delusion ; in one word, the destr uct i on o f t h e work : o f man, w hi c h ie delusion, and n o thi ng e l se !

A VICIOUS HORSE.—Between eight and nine o'clock on Thursday morning a young man, who obtains A livelihood by retailing milk, was proceeding with his cans down Golden-lane, when a horse, which was standing in front of a fishmonger's shop, suddenly seized him with its teeth, and before he could extricate himself it dragged him into the road, and severely lacerated his shoulder. The owner of the horse, upon being visited by the lad's father, so far from expressing regret at the occurrence, loaded him with abuse, whereupon the latter waited upon Mr. Codd, the Magistrate, who, on hearing the circum stances, directed a summons to issue against the fish monger, under a clause in the new Police Act, which con stitutes the use of " abusive, threatening, or insulting lan guage," an offence punishable with fine or imprisonment. THE BARBERS AND THE NEW POLICE ACT• —The barbers of Somers-town have adopted means of evading the new police regulations, by which public houses pre ordered to be closed on Sunday mornings.

In this case there is little doubt that few lovers of " strong waters" will go unshaved, if they do not pay a second visit to the barber. $0 I . 1 r ~.~ ~~ I
