The Carlisle Patriot contains a speech of Sir JAMES ft:TRA HAM, at a meeting of the Netherby Ag ricultraval Association. Had that Journal not called atv_ntion to it, and had Sir JAMES not said " they were always ready to admit those who conveyed to the public what passes on such occasions," we should have foreborne to notice what be calls, and what really seems to have been, a family meeting. The party dined at the Graham Arms, he was surrounded by relations and tenants, and the business wholly con cerned the improvement of the Netherby estate, and the welfare of its several possessors and occupiers. No difference of political opinion, nor the contempt , we feel for the manner in which Sir JAMES I GRAHAM, above all the respectable politicians of the day, has pandered to the narrowest and most il liberal religious prejudices, seeking by so doing to attain political power, shall prevent us from saying that the account of the meeting reflects great credit on Sir JAMES'S conduct in the management.of his property. It is impossible to read such descriptions lof mutual kindness and mutual service without wishing th at t h e present prosperity of the agricul twists was based on something better than an ' odious tax which the rest of the community neither can uor will submit to. On returning thanks when his own health was toasted, Sir JAMES alluded to the conflicting duties he has had to perform as a landlord, as a brother, and as the heir of Netherby, which pre vented him from acting towards all his tenants as he could wish. It is well understood that the same circumstances,—namely, certain incumbrances on his estate—have warped his views on the Corn laws, and made him, in order to keep up his own state, unjust towards the eaters of bread. The close of the war unfortunately saw the land urdeed with nu merous c h arges contracted under the high prices caused by the debasement of the currency, stud the landowners could find no better method of snaking the community bear those burdens, instead of bearing them themselves, than imposing a per manent and ruinous tax on bread. Sir JAMES de fended that tax, because to take it off would lower rent, and lower the value of the farmer's capital. Grosser exaggerations than his own fears and his own self-interest led him into we have not yet en countered ; but the demands made on our columns by other interesting subjects will not allow us to do more than merely 'mention the subject. We must refute his statements on some future occasion. y the, overland Mail from India, arrived on Sat,..mlay, bringing Bombay papers of the lit 'of August, we learn that the " Old Lien of the Putijaub," RUNJEET SINGH, died, aster a protracted illness, at Lahore, on the 27th of June. RUNJEET SINGH, was one of the most extraordinary of the many distinguished characters who figure in the modern history of India. His death is the most interesting item in the catalogue of intelligence brought by the overland mail from India, received in London on Saturday. The news, so far as regards the mere fact of the death of the MAHARAJAH, can excite very little surprise ; as his long illness, his age, and his intem perate habits, which were not in the slightest de gee moderated by his sickness, had prepared the public mind, both here and in India, for the intelli r genee of his dissolution. But there arc events so i momentous, that a knowledge of the certainty of their occurrence, only inspires the greater apprehen sion that ordinary precaution will be found inade quate to provide against the dati4ers threatened by th.ern, and among these we may certainly class the death of RUNJEET SINGH. All were apprehen 'Jive that a kingdom which he had founded by his F enterprising valour, and kept together by the force of his genius and the strength of his character, would inevitably fall to pieces at his death ; and the ene mies of British domination in India were in'ecstacies at th e pr ospect o f our alliance with the old and indo rnit the ttble 4 C iLion of t h e P un j au b" b e i ng rep l aced by . enmity of a h ost of powerful marauding., chiefs 1 along which whol e li ne of our north-western frontier,,, W ould ha ve the effect of d es t roy i ng our nitiu- 1 ence in Candahar, 'i But Lord A ucKL ad Herat, as we ll as L a h ore . %adequ a t e to the duti e An .

Camels and stores were provided at Ferozepore and Kurnaul and in the meantime our political agents at L ahore were instructed to negotiate with the Seik Govern ment the measures to be taken to maintain the Royal authority in the event of the MA HA RA JA N'S death. In this important service Colonel WADE and Mr. CLERK eminently distinguished themselves. So prudently were the measures of the Seik Government taken, that on the death of R. cretJe.:ET, his son, KHURUCK SINGH, peaceably ascended the throne of his fa , ,Hr without exciting a IVOTICE ;IS HEREBY GIVEN, that a _LI MEETING of the Creditors of ABRAHAM HENRY CHAMBERS, the Elder, and ABRAHAM HENRY CHAMBERS, the Younger, Bankrupts, will be held at her Majesty's Theatre, Haymarket, on FRIDAY, the 27th day of September instant, at Twelve o'Clock precisely, to take into conglderation the general affairs of the Estate.

As he owes his peaceable succes sion to the kingdom of the Seiks entirely to British influence, and as he is said to possess a considerable share of his father's abilities for Government, we may rest confident that we shall find in him a faithful, no less than a powerful and useful ally. To prompt this, nothing more is necessary than attention to his own interests, as he must be sufficiently sensible of the facility with which Great Britain could raise up claimants for every foot of his territory and in volve him in endless wars with all his neighbours without the shadow of danger to herself. RUNJ EET SINGH, before his death, was attacked with palsy in both his feet, and though his pulse ranged from 90 to 110, he eat as heartily and drank is freely of strong Scotch whiskey as he was ac customed to do through the whole of his eventful life. Numbers of pious devotees were summoned to pray for his recovery, and he kept several European physicians in attendance whom he daily consulted ; but while he listened with great apparent interest to their advice he cun ningly abstained from swallowing any of their pre scriptions. Our Anglo-Indian contemporaries shrewdly suspect that had he been in the habit of acting differently the claims of his successor to the throne would hare been decided full ten years ago, and we confess our own impression not to be very different. Dr. STEEL who went from Ferozepore to visit him, prevailed upon him to remove from a malarious situation to a healthy one, and this was the only medical prescription which the MAHA RAJAH was known to follow during his life. Previous to the death of RUNJEET SINGH, the British Agent, Mr. CLERK was successful in pro curing several important mitigations of the regula tions of 1833, relative to the navigation of the Sutlege. By the recent arrangements a new chan nel is opened to British commerce in the centre of Asia. The Delhi Gazette of the sth of June, states, that if the merchants of Umritsir, Loodiana, and Umballa, had only boats enough, " the river would be alive with trade ;' and on Mr. CLERK'S visit to Umritsir, during the negociations, the mer chants visited him in a body, tendered him their thanks for extending their trade, and requested him to employ his good offices to obtain for them one hundred boats to be sent them without delay from Ferozepore. The expedition for the restoration of the Suit H SOOJAH-001,1VIOOLK to the throne of Candahar has been entirely successful. The army suffered greatly during the march for want of food, and from the attacks of Belochees and other lawless tribes ; and had the Sirdars not fled at the first appearance of our troops, it may be questioned whether the victory would not have cost us more than it is really worth. An idea of the toil and misery endured by the troops may be formed from the fact that out of 6,000 native troops comprising the division of the SHAH, only 1,500 reached Candahar, all the rest having perished on the way. The loss of Bri tish troops was, however, comparatively trifling, though their sufferings were very severe. Since the Coronation of the SHAH he has experienced no opposition from the Sirdars ; and on the 16th of June, the date of the latest arrivals in Bengal, the British army was preparing to return. A report prevailed that 40,000 Iranees were before Herat, and that Persia, instigated by Russia, was preparing a second expedition against that city. This report, if true, was expected to lead to new and highly important events in the East, as it was judged impossible that Great Britain would quietly suffer the Cabinet of St. Petersburg thus to open a direct road to India. Russia was never more active in raising up enemies to our power in India, and influence in Persia, than she appears to be a* present. - From Canton the news is to the 29th of May. On the 24th Captain ELLIOTT, ac companied by the persons detained as hostages for the delivery of the opium, were allowed to leave the city, and on the 27th he arrived at Macao. The Celestial Government had given or ders for the expulsion from the Chinese Empire of Messrs. INNES, DENT, and four gentlemen be longing to the firm of JARDINE, MATHESON, and Co., together with all those directly con cerned in the opium traffic. In India the seizure of the opium created an extraordinary ferment; but the Press is unanimous in regarding it as useless for the sufferers to look for any compensation out of the revenues of this country. They very justly maintain that no Government can be expected to tax its subjects to make good the losses of smug gleri ..., but on the other hand they blame the rash conduct of Superintendent ELLIOTT in first acknowledging the illegality of the traffic by his proclamation, which he was not called upon to do, and next in yielding to the threats of the Governor, before every hope of escaping with life was completely extinguished. We must confess that he appears to have acted with less firmness than we were prepared to expect from a British officer placed in such circumstances ; and, further, that we regard an indication of pusillanimity as one of the gravest errors of which Europeans can be guilty in their intercourse with the Chinese. We certainly think that the present opportunity of set tling a number of old scores with China, as well as of placing our relations with that country entirely on a new footing, ought not to be overlooked. People who live in glass houses should never, they say, throw stones. Had Sir CHARLES KNIGHTLY borne in mind this useful adage, he would never have talked the nonsense which he did on Friday last, at the annual dinner of the Northamptonshire Conservative Association. " What," said he, in a fine frenzy of morality, " what is the state of the Palace at the present time ? Far be it from me to censure our youthful and endeared SOVEREIGN ; but I reprobate the conduct of her Ministers. In stead of being the radius of purity, and furnishing the ton of virtue and excellence, the Palace is disgraced by profligacy and intrigue." Conceive a Tory—one who must well remember the days of GEORGE the FOURTH —talking in a strain like this! Was ever such whining, hypocritical cant ! Why, the Court is the very perfection of purity compared with what it was in the high Tory times of the fourth and fattest of theGEoRGES. We have no Sovereigns, now-a-days, living for years together —and this long after the infirmities of age have crept on them—in a state of the most notorious adultery, thus throwing a sort of protecting shield over vice. Where was Sir C. KNIGHTLY'S fine sense of public morality when all this was going forward ? Why did he not launch the thunders of his virtuous vituperation against the head of the chief and most noto rious offender? The reason is obvious. The Court at that period was high Tory ; and the Northamptonshire Baronet being high Tory also, thought it most expedient to allow his moral sensi bilities an accommodating slumber. Now, however, the state of things is altered. The Court is Whip:, now, and therefore he feels that he may say with propriety just what he pleases of it ; and, with reference to a late tragical affair, which in no way affects the purity of the Palace, strain at a gnat, though for years and years together he found not the slightest difficulty in bolting a camel. Th ere is no news of any political interest in the French Journals of Friday and Saturday. A tele graphic despatch of the 18th instant, from Bayonne announces to the French Government that three Navarese battalions and two squadrons, commanded by ZARIATEGUY, entered France at St. Jean Pied de Port, when they were disarmed and marched to Pau. The Constitutionnel states the following to be the conditions upon which Don CARLOS, in his letter to the King of the French, agrees to re nounce his pretensions to the Throne of Spain, the will of Ferdinand, and the Acts of the Cortes abolishing the Salique law :- 1. The re-toration of alt his rights as Infante of Spain, and the right of succession in case the children of Ferdi nand die without issue. '3. The restoration of his property sequestrated by the Cortes. 3.

At Alexandria letters were received from Bagdad of the 29th of July, stating that the Per sian Sheik had died of a wound in his knee ; and that an English Colonel, who, at the commence ment of the affair at Herat, came from Teheran to Bagdad, is purchasing horses and accoutrements, which he forwards with the greatest expedition to Bassora and the Persian Gulf, where an English fleet is lying with troops on board ready to he landed. What their object or intention is no one knows. The Nile had risen twenty-two cubits, and there was the promise of an abundant harvest. ARREST OF MR. FEARGUS O'CONNOR.-Mr. O'Connor having been arrested at Manchester on Friday, on a Judge's warrant, for a seditious conspiracy, seditious speeches, &c., and having given his promise to the officer that he would be forthcoming at the Borough Court on Saturday, he appeared before the Mayor and a full bench of Magistrates on that day, to enter into recognizances. After urging an objection to the war rant, which was overruled, he was ordered to enter into his own recognizance for 3001., and find two sureties in 150/. each, to appear at the Court at Liverpool. The sureties were Mr. Abel Heywood, of Oldham-street, Manchester, bookseller ; and the Rev. James Scho field, of Every -street. The conditions having been read over and ratified, Mr. O'Connor and his friends withdrew. The Duke of Buccleueli has left Broadstairs, where his Grace has been residing with the Duchess and f am ily, for Dalkeith Palace, Scotland. His Grace is to be entertained at a public dinner by his tenantry, on Thurs day next, at Branxholm. her. Some persons who attempted to approach the Prince's carriage to speak to him were ordered off by the police. After leaving Bordeaux the Prince was received at the country residence of M. Coupat, where the Royal party breakfasted, and then pursued their route towards Bourges. The Duke of ORLEANS sailed on the 19th inst. for Africa ; the Duchess has returned to Paris. The following circular, addressed by the Minister of Commerce to the Prefects and Sub-prefects, is intended to quiet the agitation of the public mind produced by th' late corn riots : CIRCULAR 'OF THE MINISTER OP AGRICULTURE AND COM• MERCE TO THE PREFECTS OF FRANCE. PARIS, SEPT. 19.—An attempt has been made in one of the Departments against the liberty of commerce and free circulation of grain. The Government of the King cannot allow the slightest impediment to be given to a li berty so well established by law and so essential to public security. Such disorders are much to be regretted, and as soon as one of them takes place it is proper to explain the evil consequences arising from them, to enlighten others, and prevent their following such an example. We cuter upon the enjoyment of a harvest generally ad mitted to be an average one. It would have been abun dant if bad weather had not diminshed its produce in some districts. In many the weight of the corn compensates for their loss. Whatever it may be, how is it possible so soon after the harvest, when the grain is only put into warehouse, we can suppose that its supply is to be deficient in the country ? If the labour of the farm, preparatory to the new sowing of seed, cause the markets to be thinly at. tended—and if the weekly averages be now higher than usual—are not these circumstances of ordinary occurrence every year? The drought which affects water carriage is also a momentary cause of the rise in price, but in reality the actual prices are not above those which our agricul• ture so often has stated to be necessary for its produce. It has been supposed that strangers are coming to our sea-ports to take away the grain, and that they are looking for it in the interior of the country. Nothing can be more untrue ; and you can easily be convinced of its falsehood by casting your eyes on the tables of exporta tion and importation, taken from official returns, and published monthly. It is said that a great exportation has taken place from the port of Marans ; but I have aster. tamed that no purchases for abroad have been made in that place. The market notes for the last week of Septem ber give the price at 19 75 for the hectolitre. The barley of the preceding harvest was bought solely for the use of the English brewers, a circumstance which is most advan tageous to the farmers. In the other ports the coasting trade has been confined to carrying grain from one port to another, according to the wants of the interior. On the northern coast the duties are equivalent to a prohibition. In the meantime our prices have attracted an importation not only equal to our exports, but considerably greater, and capable of satisfying those by the continued operation, of trade, who can imagine for a moment that France can be exhausted. This is the exact truth. You are aware, moreover, that all the accessory crops, such as that of potatoes, will furnish an additional supply. If by, I know not by what absurd or evil suggestions it can be imagined, that the country can be divided into can tons—that none shall exchange with their neighbours—that grain shall be prevented from being sent from one to the other—that those who have a superfluity shall not furnish it to those who want—if commerce be disturbed—if pro prietors be intimidated —each person will lock up his pro. visions, and those who turn away some sacks of grain to-day will probably not see them again to. morrow. Employ then all your influence to make the truth known in your department. I recommend it to you as a most es sential duty. Prove in each locality how much the whole year's substance is endangered by partial violence, and tell those who are inclined to resort to acts of guilt and vio lence, that the Government is determined to execute with full severity the laws protecting order and property.— Receive, &c. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXTAIANG, In the first week the arrivals of all descriptions of English Corn were verAsmall, and there was a tendency upwards for every article. There was a fair fresh supply of new Wheat, but very little other Grain. The late rainy weather has caused considerably higher demands for Wheat. At the early part of the morning ss • p er quarter a d vance was ma d e on l as t Monday's prices, but th e trade afterwards b ecame d u ll , an d this advance was scar ce l y supported. Bar l ey, Beans, 'Peas, and Oats were each f u ll I s. per quarter higher than last *Mon day. The top price of Flour has been established at 655. per sack, as the stock in London is small.

This plot was made knotvn lay rather a curiosi coincidence, first by a letter being found on the person of a guerilla who was recently killed in the Nortii; and, secondly, by a municipal patrol, on Thursday evening lasi; accidentally picking up, in the Rua de San Mamede, a packet of letters, containing a confirmation of the corre spondence, together with a comblred plan, on an exten4ive scale, and of such a nature as to warrinat the immediate apprehension of their ringleader in this city, M Antonio de Alberquerque, a rich land proprietor near Braga, end relative of the Countess de Anadia, who is safely lodged in the segredo (dungeon). Orders for the arrest of two other well-known personages, his accomplices, have been issued. The particulars of the plan have not yet transpired. " A dissolution of the Ministry was at hand a few days since by the resignation of the Minister of Finance, M. Manoel Antonio de Carvalho, which was accepted by her Majesty ; but the wily President of the Coancil, aware or the impracticability of finding a successor, and that this circumstance would cause a breaking up of the Cabinet, adroitly prevailed upon him to retain his por(femille. " The long-pending loan fur 1,400 contos de reis is at length concluded, the Lisb,m bank, it is understood, having taken the remaining sum. " It is uncertain whether their Majesties will proceed on their intended excursion to Villa Vicoza. notwithstand ing the 2d Lancers are under orders to be the escort.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEW S The usual average return of the liabilities and assets of the Bank of England, embracing the period from the 25th of June to the 17th inst., which appeared in last night's Gazette, gives the following results, viz., that the average of the month ending the 17th inst., as compared with the average of the month ending the 25th of June, shows a deerease in the circulation of 27,0001., a decrease in the deposits of 744,0001., and a decrease in the stock of but. lion of 1,347,0001. Wherefore it appears that the decrease in the liabilities is 771,000/., and this represents the de crea.ie in the total quantity of money in the month ending the 17th inst., as compared with the month ending the 25th of June, in so far as regards the administration of the currency by the Bank of England. The yearly comparison is as follows :—The average of the month ending the 17th inst., as compared with the average of the month ending the 16th of October, 1838, shows a decrease in the circulation of 951,000/., a de crease in the deposits of 495,000/., and a decrease in the stock of bullion of 6,849,0001. Wherefore it appears that the decrease in the liabilities is 1,446,0001., and this re presents the decrease in the total quantity of money in the month ending the 17th inst., as compared with the month ending the 16th of October, 1838, in so far as regards the administration of the currency by the Bank of England. The variations in the stock of bullion have taken place in the following manner and proportions In the month ending the Bth of January, as compared with the month ending the 16th of October, 1838, there is a decrease of 78,000 In the month ending the 2d of April, as com pared with the mouth ending the bill of January, there is a decrease of In the month ending the 25th of June, as com pared with the month ending the 2d of April, there is a decrease of And in the month ending the 17th inst., as compared with the month ending the 25th of June, there is a decrease of Being a total decrease of £6,849.000 The changes and fluctuations in the circulation w appear from the following statement : In the month ending the Bth of January, as compared with the month ending the 16th of October, 1838, there is a decrease of In the month ending the 23 of April, as com pared with:the month ending the Bth of Janu ary, there is an increase of In the month ending the 25th of June, as com pared with the month ending the 2d of April, there is a decrease of And in the month ending the 17th inst., as compared with the month ending the 25th of June, there is a decrease of Which leaves upon balance a decrease of 931,000/.

X 804,000 219,000 339,000 741,000 Circulation £18,158,000 Deposits Bullion The facts contained in the preceding statement offer pre cisely the same grounds of remark and animadversion as all the returns of the Bank of England during the last nine months. The bullion constantly disappears, and its place is as constantly supplied by paper created by means of securities. So flagrant a violation of all principle has now brought things to that pass, that it should seem that nothing short of a miracle can save the Bank of England from a suspen sion of cash payments. And then all the miserable tricks and expedients to which the Bank Directors have lately had recourse to ward off a calamity which their misconduct rendered inevitable, will only tend to its aggravation.-- Times. CRIMINAL COUR T.-(THIS DAY OLD COURT. HORSE STEALING.— Stephen Isaacs, a regular Don \Vhiskerando, was convicted of stealing a horse, gig, and harness, of the value of 141., the property of Ann Parker, who keeps the Swan Inn at Riegate, on the 6th of the present month. The prisoner was again arraigned, and convicted of stealing a gelding, saddle, and bridle, on the 9th of Sep tember, value 251., the property of Thomas Croft, a livery.. stablekeeper, of the Whitechapel-road. The RECORDER said that now the trial was over it might be proper to state to the Jury that the prisoner had been in the army, where his conduct had been infamous in the extreme, but he had been discharged under the supposition that he was insane. If the Jury thought that his conduct in that dock had shown that he was so, they would be good enough to state it before he passed sentence. For his own part he looked upon his conduct as only part of the scheme of a notorious swindler to deceive the Court. The prisoner (with some emphasis)—As to the insinua tion that you have just made, perhaps you would think I was mad if I jumped out of this dock on the table. The RECORDER-Indeed I should not ? Prisoner—Oh, you would not. Well, perhaps, if I was to take up this ink-stand (suiting the action to the word), and throw it at your head, you would think so then. The RECORDER—Officer, remove that ink- stand from the dock. Gentlemen (addressing the Jury), it is my firm belief that the prisoner is no more mad than I am ; it is only an attempt on his part to deceive you. Prisoner—lf you was in a room alone with me you would not say so. You would soon see signs of madness then. If I was to draw the hatchet, and the sword, and tell a tell a man that he was unfit to command, for want of energy, what would you say then, eh ? The RECORDER then proceeded to pass sentence upon the prisoner, in the course of which he was repeatedly in terrupted by his exclaiming that there was no justice in the country, and that he did not expect it there. The Learned Judge sentenced him to fifteen years' transporta tion for the first offence, and ten for the second, the latter to commence at the expiration of the first. The prisoner, on being removed from the dock, ex- I claimed—" I hope when the term of my banishment ex pires, there will be justice in England, which th e r e is not at present ; I hope there will be no more cryi ng and wailing in England when the convicted Jew ret urns , if that time should ever arrive ; but long before that you will all be destroyed." The prisoner appears to have led a most extraordinary life. He was formerly a Jew, but was converted to Chris tianity by a clergyman of the name of Cator, upon whom his demands for money had been so repeated that he was obliged to discontinue assisting him, and since that period he had been living by swindling, which he had carried on to a very great extent. The heir apparent of the Baroness de Braye is Robert Otway Cave, Esq., M.P., who is married to a daughter of Sir Francis Burdett. BRISTOL SUGAR-MARKET, SEPT. 20.—The supply in our offices is so inconsiderable that we have scarcely any transactions to notice. Sugars generally are flat, but the firmness of the merchants has counteracted any tendency to decline.—Bristol Mercury. CHELTENHAM ELECTION.— The Chartists are getting up a requisition to Mr. NV. P. Gaskell, to allow himself to be put in nomination for that borough in the ultra- Radical interest. If he should refuse, the pro prietor of the Free Press newspaper, Mr. Harper, has notified his intention of standing on the above -named in terest. This is the third Radical candidate in the field. —Gloucestershire Chronicle. At a nseeting of 500 people on Monday, Mr. Gaskell gave to the electors of Chelten ham an account of his political sentiments, which were thoroughly Radical, and announced his intention of standing as a candidate at the ensuing election.—Chelten ham Examiner. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—The Honour able Edward Lawless, son of Lord Cloncurry, led to the hymeneal altar, on Tuesday last, at Lyons, the seat of the Noble Lord, the accomplished Miss Kirwan, daughter and heiress of John ,Kirwan, Esq., of Castle Hacket, county Galway. The General Steam N a vigation Company's steam ship, Columbine, Captain W. Norwood, arrived off the Custom-house from Rotterdam, on Stinday, after a favourable passage.

Report says that a Miguelite plot has been discovered at Lisbon within a Jew days, which is not credited. The intelligence received on Saturday from Canton caused considerable excitement in the City, and particu larly among the China merchants and speculators in tea. Great fear is entertained that the China trade will be closed for some time to come. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, SATURDAT.—We have had a steady market for cotton to-day. and Brazils are a shade higher.

The Globe of Saturday has the following remarks in a leading article on the subject of certain scandalous weekly periodical;which subsist only by slander : ". 'I , he most profitabl e p a rt o f th e ir trade is derived from the sums they extort from the weak and timid, whom they threaten with " a show up" in the --, unless 4. sum named is paid for suppression. The threat is too often s uccess f u l ; an d t h e wretc h es, compare d with whom houmbreakers and pickpockets are honourable and honest members of the community, share the wages of in famy,and employ their scouts to discover new victims. The only safe course to be taken is to firmly resist the at tempt at extortion; to treat letters with contempt ; and if application be made or followed up in person, to give the party into custody, charging him or them with an attempt to extort money. The public against this part of the nuisance have the remedy in their own hands. Every one who complies with such a demand is inflicting a serious injury on the community, by encouraging a species of robber of the most revolting kind ; while those who are the means of its detection and pu nishment confer a benefit on society greater than by the extermination of the most noxious reptiles which nature has endowed with venom. Extortion is not the only branch of the horrible traffic carried on by means of these pestiferous publications. They are used by wretches grown grey in iniquity to incite the passions and corrupt the morals of the youth of both sexes, and thus to spread vice as a pestilence on every hand." The Courier has taken courage and was rampantly Tory on Saturday. " No one can be surprised," says our apostate Contemporary, " that the few remaining sup porters of the present weak and incapable Ministry should writhe with convulsive efforts to avert the cata strophe which is impending over them. After having lost the confidence of the House of Commons, and the general voice of the country having been raised against their incompetency to carry on the Government, and against their selfishness in retaining office with out power to do good, or to prevent others from doing harm, they have now adopted in their despair, as their last rallying cry, Would you hare a Tory Government.' They know very well that there are no Tories to form a Govern ment. It is thus that they attempt to delude, or rather to continue their delusions on, the country. Well know ing, and, during the last Session of Parliament, pain fully feeling, the increasing power of that great party in the State which, although styled Conservative, might more justly be called National,' they essay to blind the people as to their own designs and to the real ob jects of the Conservatives, by endeavouring to fix on them a nickname which neither accords with the opinions which the Conservatives profess, nor with the acts of the public men who are among their leaders. They would wish to confound the obsolete party of those Tories, who would oppose (if there are any such), all improvements in our political and social institutions as dangerons in novations of ancient usages, with that national party who, with Conservative opinions but of Liberal princi ples, are ready to assist in removing any abuse, where abuse can be shown to exist, and adopt any change that can rationally be made to appear an improvement." The Standard concludes a furious attack on Mr. O'Connell's letter to the people of Ireland, with the following specimen of High Tory rant, of which the Agitator will be the first to profit :—" Let the rabid mendicant howl, with all the energy of which ha is capable. The more addresses like the one to which we have here alluded he puts forth the better. What measure of fraud, falsehood, and chicanery, of which the most abandoned agitator can be guilty, has not already been resorted to by the managers of Popish constituencies? Let them proscribe Protes tantism to their hearts' content--let them revile and vilify the English people as much as they choose ; no deadlier enmity, no fouler malevolence than is at present cherished by the Popish party in Ireland can be excited against us. But the sword is double edged, and cuts both ways. In endeavouring to excite the hatred of the Irish people to their Pro testant neighbours, Mr. O'Connell will raise a watch word among the electors in all parts of the United Kingdom, which will not prove very propitious to his cause. If he persuades his deluded adherents to treat the Protestants of England as enemies, he will assist in verifying his own lying assertions, for he will make them so. Let but the Conservatives of Ireland fol low the advice of Sir Robert Peel, and the Popish helots who now do the bidding, and assist in filling the pockets of this profligate agitator, will in many instances give way to men, as impervious to his blandishments as to his menaces, who will assist in dissolving the unna tural compact which has been entered into between Mr. O'Connell and the Government." The Times of this morning, referring again to its fa vourite grievance—the appointment of Mr. Wyse to the office of one of the Lords of the Treasury, bursts out in the following rhodornontade style. The deferen tial allusion to John Knox at the close of this diatribe, is in the truest and most preposterous spirit of bigotry —just as if the strong, fanatical opinions of the sixteenth century were to be a guide for the more temperate and enlarged intelligence of the nineteenth century!—" The mere circumstance of a Roman Catholic being invested with power to administer and control the funds granted by Parliament for purposes of Protestant education (as is manifestly the case between Mt. Wyse and the Pro testant schools. whose claims are partly committed to his arbitrament) is indecent enough in all conscience. In this point of view, we always regarded Mr. More O'Fer rail's former position at the Treasury as highly anoma lous and exceptionable : but that of Mr. Wyse, with his more bigoted devotion to Romanism, with his more slavish dependence upon O'Connell, and above all, with his fanatical advocacy of the leading abominations of the Central Education Society, is ten thousand times worse. Mr. Wyse, we are bound to believe, is a truly conscientious person. Now, with the bitter enmity which he bears to Protestantism and to the introduction of any religious instruction into schools, we ask him upon what principle entitled to the smallest respect he can ac commodate himself to vote a single shilling either to the Church of Scotland, or to the National Schools, or even to those of the British and Foreign Society? A very pretty look it has, indeed, to see a determined Papist meting out, or more probably thwarting, the provisions of Parliament for the support and extension of Protestant schools! But the incongruous work which the Whigs have thus put upon Mr. Wyse, net only deforces that gentleman's conscience, it also offers an offensive insult to the Protestant interests, which it places at his mercy. These wretched tools of O'Connell know well that to the Churches of England and Scotland this same Mr. Wyse is the most objec tionable school-tinker of the present day. Even Jimmie Simpson of Edinburgh could scarcely be worse. Yet the Whigs have appointed this benighted idolator to exercise a Treasury Lordship over those dishonoured churches, and have doomed them to supplicate his li berality, to kiss his garment, and to lick his spurning heel. How will the indomitable Presbyterians of Scot land brook this affront ? What would John Knox have said to it ? Why, rather than give it his counte nance, he would have poured out his heart's blood." The Min fling Post, alluding to the defective harvest, and the probable high price of bread during the ap proaching winter, directly mixes up the Ministers with the subject, as if' they were respo ns ibl e f or th e u n u sua l quantity of rain that has lately fallen :—" The present. prospects of the country are such as to render it pro bable that the grievance of a frivolous and incapable Government must become day by day more and more galling and injurious to the British nation. Public affairs are ominous and threatening. There are many persons who are accustomed to say that the business of politics is nothing but the strife of parties, and, there fore, it little matters to the practical concerns of the people what may be done in the political world. But there seems to be a time coming, and near at hand, when it will be but too obvious to all that their practical interests are intimately concerned in the conduct of the Governmerit. The extraordinary and most unfor tunate weather of the last ten days does not leave it in our power to hope for such a corn harvest throughout the United Kingdom as will make up for the deficiency of last year. An enormous quantity of grain must have been damaged beyond all chance of complete re storation even from the best weather that could come between this and winter. Not a little must, we fear, have been altogedier lost. There is no room to hope that bread will not be very dear until next summer. There is some reason to apprehend scarcity ; and cer tainly the bread which may be made from wheat not yet saved will be of inferior quality." The Morning Chronicle thus ridicules the Tory out cry against Mr. Wyse's recent appointment :—" The Tories are clever enough to manufacture two fights out of one bugbear. After duping the timid into one alarm at the infidel tendency of Mr. Wyse's notions of educa tion, the attempt is now made to scare them in the opposite direction by the alleged papistical tendency of those same notions. The obvious contradiction of these charges sufficiently demonstrates that both can ' not be true. Every attentive reader of Mr. Wyse's speeches and publications very well knows that both are false. His admirable volume on Educational Re form is a masterly exposition of the principles on which spiritual training may be combined with mr:ntal instruc tion, and sectarian animosity abated, without infringing any just facilities for the early inculcation of sectarian peculiarities. But what matter to these assailants the differences between a papistical and an infidel tendency? Both are ugly words, and excite alarm in certain classes. Any other term h av i ng t h e same tendency w ould be employed with the same alacrity and iteration. Had the superstitions of two centuries ago been preva lent now, it would have been vehemently asserted, from day to day, that Mr. Wyse's views of education had a direct tendency to the damnable sin of witchcraft." The Morning Herald, speaking of Maroto's affair, and the downfall of Carlini in Spain, indulges in the following fine moral flourish :—" We observe that the grateful Liberals' of Madrid, in congratulating each other upon the defeat of an enemy whom, at all events, arms did not subdue, cried out that ' this was a triumph in which no foreigner had any share—it had all been achieved by Spanish arms and Spanish policy alone.'

But what a tale it will be for the future historian to tell Of moral, of Christian, of Protestant England, if the Whig jour nals should be correct in fixing the infamy of these pro ceedings on our own Government 1" The Morning Advertiser remarks, with reference to the late remonstrance of some of the Ripon Clergy with the Marquis of Londonderry for his duel with Mr. Grattan :—" In our opinion the Clergymen who remonstrated with his L or d s hi p are ent itled to all praise. Their holy office justified them in their appeal ; and the rank and church livings posse sse d by th e Noble Marquis proves its Christian character. W ou ld that the Cle r gy in every part of the country w o u ld thus manfully de clare the Christian law to be th e same for the rich as for the poor—for the noble as for those who cannot boast of titles—and we should hear but little of Dissent, o , and still less of the sense l ess cr y o f the progress I Catholicism, and the downfall of Protestantism.'
