EVENING EDITION. DUTCH AND GERMAN PAPERS. BRUSSELS, OCT. W.—Yesterday the King presided in a Council of Ministers. Baron Van Zeuglen Van Ayevold, attached to the Belgian Legation at the Hague, arrived at Brussels on Saturday, with despalches from the Government. We are assured that among these dispatches there is an au tograph letter from his Majesty the King of the Ne therlands to his Majesty the King of the Belgians. i The rules of diplomatic etiquette require this for- Imlay at the opening of amicable relations between the / Courts. Baron O'Sullivan de Grass having had an audience of his Majesty the King of Wirtemburg, left Solt gard, and proceeded to Munich, where he arrived on the sth of this month. BRITSSF.LS, OCT. 14.—We are assured that the King's visit to Germany is merely put off. A letter from Cologne says that the King of the Bel gians is expected on the 17th of this month, at the latest, in that city, whence he will go in the John Coc kerill steam boat to Jobannisberm. It is said that his Majesty's 'departure is fixed for Tuesday, and that orders are given to prepare relays from Liege to the frontiers of Prussia. During the first ten days of October there were 67,062 passengers by railway. The Bishops of Liege and Namur have applied to the Court of Rome for the ratification of the limits of their diocese. LIIIBUP.G AND LUXEMBURG.--In consequence of the partition of these provinces, the inhabitants of the ceded portion of Luxemburg hope to obtain, through the in tervention of the Countess (l'Oultremont, a Bishop at Reremonde. As for those of the ceded portions of Luxemburg, part of those are already under the Bishop of Treves, and the other will doubtless be soon placed under the same spiritual jurisdiction. BRUSSRLS, OCT. 15.—Baron Falck is expected at Brussels to-day. The Cardinal Archbis:op of Marines arrived at Brussili to -day. _ _ A letter from Diekercla, Oct. 14, addreszed to the Anti de l'Ordre, says that the news of the intended marriage of the King of Holland to the Baroness d'Oultremont has caused general joy in the inhabitants of 1-14emburg, and that they ardently desire that the marriage may take place this winter; they hope that it willpowerfufly support. their influence with the King. VIENNA, OCT. 7.—Count Zichy Ferrares, tather-ia law to his Highness Prince Metternich, died yesterday, after a short illness, at his'estate of Carlbur. in Hun gary. The Count was an Imperial Pr - ivy Councillor, Go vernor of the County of Raab, Lieutenant-Field Mar shal in the Austrian army,. and Lieutenant-Colonel of the Hungarian Noble Budy Guard. AUGSBURG, OCT 10.—A letter from Berl n says— " When Archbishop Dunin so unexpeetediy arrived at Posen, M. Fiottwell, the President, was absent, but returned on hearing cf the Archbishop's arrival, which seems to have been connected with a very extensive plan. The Palace was immediately occupied, and the Archbishop informed that a carriage was in readiness, in which he Wa3 to depart under a good escort. Some of his friends., who seemed to be prepared for such an occurrence, attempted to sound the alarm bell, but were immediately arrested, and will probably be tried as per sons who attempted to excite rebellion in a fortress. lhe town is tranquil, as very few persons heard the alarm bell. M. Durin arrived last night. at Engeldorff, c f , -!vi miles from Berlin, on his way to Colber,:. It is said that the Chap'ers of Posen and Gncssen have re ceived notice that, as the sentence of the tribunal on M.

CROMWELL AND CONDE.—Mazarin prized Cromwell's alliance, and was aware of the strong feeling of sympathy and brotherhood existing between the Bri tish Presbyterians and the Huguenots. The Protector was solicited to form an alliance with the Prince of Conde, who even offered to become a Protestant, and Cromwell sent an agent privately to notice the state of the Reformed in France. He reported that they were well treated, because Mazarin caused the edicts to be carefully observed ; and stated in addition that Conde was not much esteemed by the Huguenots.—Browning's " History of the .lizigiteaots." LINGERING STARVATION.—The idea which most persons entertain of starvation, is that of total privation of food, coatinued till it terminates in death. The liability to this condition is believed to be occa sional and exceptional ; and it is conceived that in the parish officer we have an efficient agent for applying a remedy. Dr. Howard, however, will teach the holders of these opinions, that besides such cases, and in finitely transcending them in individual misery and in public mischief, there is a lingering starvation, that presses habitually on thousands and tens of thousands, leading to the grave by a multiplied series of long pro tracted ailments and infirmities. Dreadful as such in flictions are to contemplate, as mere affections of health, they are but the abbreviated signs of many other suf ferings and incapacities, moral and physical, of which no detail of narrative can adequately display even the outline. That starvation, such as Dr. Howard describes it, m all its intensity, rages only at particular times, maybe urged i n a b a t ement ; an d i t i s per h aps true, that when it attracts public attention, it usually calls forth a charitable effort affording some approach to tem porary. relief. But starvation, thus restricted, would still be a formidable feature in fre the physiognomy t of English society, from the mere r nee. We, however, are of opinion'cur tuheantcyD of r i s r Howard's experience warrants a still larger inference, andindi cates that in populations cir - um w s h t i a c t h ice( that of Manchester, there is a sectio n by a . full and com plete. diet is never habitually enjoyed, whici , exists in a condition of permanent weakness and disease, and in which mortality habitually commits havoc far greater than the average standard of the entire community...— Dr. Howard.

We regret to observe that the accounts from Manchester of the state of the cotton manufacture are of a gloomy description, nor is the manufac ture likely to improve by the recent intelligence from the United States. The financial derangement in that country, our best curitomer, which is now making itself manifest by banks stopping, and by a general apprehension, will not augment the demand for the staple products of our manufacturing dis tricts. At the same time while the workmen are threatened with half wages the corn crop has been short, and the price of bread is almost at a starva tion point. Winter is rapidly approaching ; the mass of cur population is politically discontented, . . angry both with their employers and the Govern ment ; and if their discontent and anger are during the winter to be much enhanced by wanting both food and fuel, England will be in no enviable con dition. Her landowners, may, however, be indiffe. rent to her sufferings ; for, with high rents, well paid, something in their banker's hands, and a little fear of a population driven to reckless despair by their ignorant and insatiable avarice, they will hie them off to Italy, or France, and in one of those well dragooned lands, excite the envy of the petty princes by their munificent expenditure. , It is generally said that a manufacturer is a citi- zen of the world, that he can transplant his capital to every country, and be alike at home, and alike make his fortune in all. In truth in the great majority of car , es he belongs to his machinery and his workmen ; he is only one part of a great system, and to wrench himself from that is to doom himself to destruction. Some few opulent manufacturers may send their children abroad ; now and then one of themselves may take a flying excursion to the Con tinent in the summer, hut not one of a thousand can be absent six months from his place of business, without incurring great loss and being exposed to ruin. Not so the receivers of rent. Their income is totally independent of any exertions of their own. They form no part in the complicated system of modern combined labour ; they are merely the re ceivers of its products, which they can consume as well in Italy, perhaps, many of them think better, than in England. Beginning, indeed, to be rightly appreciated by their countrymen, no longer enjoy. ing, that respect which they once merited, looked on almost universally—for neither tenants nor la bourers love them now—as a race of useless, selfish plunderers, and being themselves sen sible of their present condition, many of them may even think it comports with their safety to flee from the misery they have caused. At any rate, the mere landholders, not being at the same time land occupiers, are not bound to their estates as the manufacturer is bound to his mill, and they may, and many of them will, spend abroad—adding no little to the suffering s of the people—the wealth they unjustly extort by a C orn -l aw . Th e country could well spare them, but they cannot let go their hold of the country, and while they enjoy the sunny climes, th e gardens, the m ans i ons o f I ta l y —while they pass their time agreeably in its galleries and casinos, they will leave their proxies, their influence, and their orders behind, to uphold the noxious laws and institutions which they fancy a re t h e i r welfare, but which are certainly the damage of their coun rymen. There is another point in the article of the Morning Herald, which we yesterday copied, and to which we yesterday adverted, that seems to de serve notice. Not that we wish by any means to be involved in a controversy:with our able Contem porary, but as he has misunderstood the spirit of our observations, and we think misrepresented them, others may be liable to the same misapprehension. We suppose ; too, that we may have failed to express ourselves fully and clearly, and therefore we shall give a further explanation Of our remark on Monday, that " farmers must pay the higher wages, and increased profits which are given to all the artizans and masters whose services they require, either directly, or in directly." Our Contemporary has made us say that the Corn-laws secure higher waaes and in creased profits to artizans and mjters, which requires us to add one word on the subject. Precisely the same argument applies to the ar tiarlS as to the agricultural labourers. The poi THE SUN, LONDON. THURSDAY, OCTOBER, 17, 1839. price of corn, caused by the Corn-laws, compels their masters to give them a larger sum as wages, but that larger sum does not increase their com mand over the necessaries of life. On the con trary, as the increased price of corn and consequent rise in wages lessens employment, their real wages are lessened. W e l oo k on that as a settled point, and mean not to argue it further. But the capitalist, in proportion as prices rise, requires a larger sum to pay the wages of his men. The artificial rise in wages, caused by the rise in I the price of corn, as all men cat bread, extends to every branch of society, and not only a larger no minal capital is required to pay the wages of weavers and spinners, but also to pay the wages 1 of engineers and machine makers; and that larger amount becomes fixed in all the many instru ments and machines which facilitate production. This affects commerce as well as manufactures, and the cost of bringing tea from abroad, as well as of manufaCturing cotton at home, is enhanced by the increased price of the corn which the la bourer, the shipwright, and the tailor consume. This enhanced price must necessarily be paid by the consumer of the tea and the cotton, and the same is true of the enhanced price and profit on the increased capital required to carry on everybranch of business. On the condition alone of paying that profit and wages, can the consumer obtain the supplies I he wishes for. Inasmuch, therefore, as the farmer is a consumer of any thing not grown on his own land, and by the labour of himself or his servants, so much must he contribute to pay the higher wages which the master manufacturer must give his workmen, and the profit on the larger nominal capital the manufacturer must cm- • ploy. When these compulsory payments are taken into consideration, seeing that they are to be made, in however small and imperceptible sums, on every article the farmer buys, it may appear very doubtful whether he can possibly benefit by the enhanced price be gets for his corn by the Corn-laws. At the same time, they account for the great expense of which he complains. There is out consideration which convinces tm that the farmer loses by the Corn-law. He is pledged to pay his rent and his taxes—he makes large advances at the beginning of every season ; few farmers have capital to meet their expenses ; in general they borrow from the variaus tradesmen they employ till Michaelmas ; and being thus a borrowing and a debtor class, they arc compelled to pay back all the sums they fancy they obtain by the Corn-laws. We will make one additional remark. The increased profit the farmer is compelled to pay is not a higher rate of profit, but profit on a greater amount of capital. The rate of profit, in proportion to the capital employed is, we believe, lowered by the Corn-laws, but it must be paid on a larger nominal amount of capital. In this there is a close analogy with wages. The capitalist is not so well off' though a larger sum may be paid him, for it will not obtain for him as much labour, or as many commodities as a smaller sum with corn at its natural and low price. We have thought these explanations due to to our readers, but we shall decline as unprofitable, both to them and ourselves, a higgling, wordy controversy. The accounts from Manchester and the United States, both speaking of a similar distress, indicate that the difficulties in both places arise from one and the same cause. There is not a doubt that the currency with the screw put on it, has led to the stagnation of trade in Manchester, and the stoppage of the Banks, with the derange ment of trade, in the United States. Far be it from us to say that the currency is the sole and ultimate cause of the difficulties in both countries The tariff in one, and the Corn-laws in the other, would immediately refute us were we to make any such extravagant assertion. We are aware that the ultimate cause of the commercial distress at Manchester and New York lies much deeper than the currency ; and . no system of currency can finally cure it, or prevent a repetition of it. At the same time our present system is its immediate parent, and were that removed we might afterwards get rid of its next immediate cause. The way our system seems to us to operate injuriously is this. The Legislature has decreed that only gold coins shall be a legal tender in all payments above forty shillings, and it has also lyingly decreed that the promises to pay of the Bank of England are an actual payment every where except at the Bank counter. The first con- sequence is that we must have gold to make our payments ; and the next is that the whole paper currency of the country is based on the gold, not on the bullion—for silver is of no use except a s change—in the vaults of the Bank of England. The result of the two is that the gold in the coffers of the Bank is made to regulate the amount of cur rency in the whole empize. Now gold, as we recently explained, being more easily transported than silver, is more employed than silver in balancing the payments between different nations. When we require corn, which the landlords will not allow us to buy with woollens and cottons, our merchants necessarily buy it with gold. When we require America to pay her debt to us, she sends us gold if she can procure it. Both these circumstances have arisen together. Gold has been sent out of the country to buy corn ; the Bank, to check that export, limited its issues ; the merchants and capitalists here could not give the same accommodation to their customers in the United States as before, and our demand for gold from our debtor, the United States, has deranged their currency. Thus the decree of our ignorant presuming law makers, that silver shall not be a legal tender for above 405., and that the promises to pay of the Bank of England are actual payments, except at the Bank counter, reduce us to a currency based on the small sum of gold in the coffers of the Bank, which being exposed to all the varia- tions caused by the demands of commerce, makes our currency perpetually oscillate, and causes the operations of the Bank of England to be an equal curse to our own merchants and manu facturers, and to the merchants and manufacturers of our debtor customer. • If it were not for the two wretched pieces of presuming, lying legislation we have alluded to, debts would be paid equally in gold and silver, and the whole currency of the empire, instead of totter ing on the narrow basis of the gold in the Bank vaults, would rest firmly and safely on all the silver and gold in the possession of all the capitalists and money dealers. Resting oil the whole of this bullion the abstraction of three or four millions sterling of gold, which would be a small portion of the whole, would be of comparatively little importance, the silver remaining, the paper would not require to be contracted, and the Bank would neither inflict injury on the Manchester manufac turers nor on the New York merchants. One step, then, towards a sounder currency would be to rescind the law which declares that a payment by silver beyond 40s. is not legal, and another to repeal the false and unjust law that a promise to pay is an actual payment, while the giving of silver is not. An extract from the Tine Mercury, which we publish, makes us believ e that our gentry are by no means averse from having recourse to Lynch law whenever they have power and their, interest is con cerned. According to that a party of gamekeepers and their followers attacked a house, in which some presumed poachers had taken refuge, and without any warrant, or without being the minis ters of justice, began to break open the doors in order to seize the poachers. A death ensued—no inquest has been holden, but, on the statement, we must affirm that the case cannot rest where it is at present. If it should, we shall soon have the landowners and their gamekeepers collecting a squad of colliers, or other assistants, willing to have a hand in a row, and breaking into a house to drag out an Anti-Corn law opponent, as well as a presumed poacher. This is not the time for the landed gentry to set an example of violence. If there be a spot in the kingdom where it might have been supposed that the poor would receive a double portion of the blessings of education, all men will exclaim that spot is the town of Cambridge. The seat of a University consisting of nearly a score of Colleges, one can with difficulty imagine that its very atmosphere is not imbued with an educational influence, affecting every indweller in so highly favoured a locality. Such a thing as a lack of education in the sanctum sanctorunz of the att, is the very last thing that would enter the imagina tion of such persons as do not bear in mind the well-worn adage, " the nearer the Church, the far:her from grace." Never was this old saw better exempt fled than in the educational state of the town of Cam bridge. " Of twelve prisoners," says the Cambridge Advertiser, " within the walls of the prison, only one was represented as being able to read and write well ; the rest were marked as being able to do neither, or imperfectly only ; of these seven were under the age of twenty-oae. The RE CORDER observed that there must be something= deficient in the system of education in the town of Cambridge, or there could scarcely be such an exhibition of youth, ignorance, and depravity." Something deficient, indeed ! A more damning proof of that systematic plan, upon which the Clergy of the Church of England act, of keeping the lower classes in a state of ignorance, could hardly have been furnished. Might it not have been expected that the priests of Cambridge would have taken some interest in the moral and religiot.:s instruction of the poor of that town ? Was there not reason to hope that the members of this clerical corpora tion, which was so richly endowed for the purpose of national education, but which is now perverted into an engine of sectarianism, would, by their ex ertions to extend to the poor inhabitants of the town the benefits of education, have shown their sense of the advantages which they themselves de rive from the same source, as well as their grati tude to the nation for the important privileges which it has conferred upon them ? This, we think, ?night reasonably have been expected of the University of Cambridge. But these Churchmen, like others, are actuated by a spirit of the most selfish exclusiveness. They are all of one kidney—all of them monopolists of the most sordid class. They are not content with their share of good things, or even with the lion's share of the spoil—they must have the whole. The narrower the sphere of education, the better for them. They value it, and use it, as an instru ment of wordly advancement—as the means of ac quiring wealth and power ; and therefore it is that they would keep it entirely to themselves—therefore it is that the poor must be debarred from it. What signifies the moral and intellectual im provement, the temporal or eternal welfare of mil lions of the unwashed poor, compared with the inte rests of the aristocracy or of the priesthood We are happy to learn that some benevolent per sons are exerting themselves to put an end to the disgraceful state of things, us regards education, at Cambridge. A school, in connection with the Bri tish a: , .d Foreign School Society, is about to be established, towards which Government has given 2501. out of the late education grant. This we have no doubt will rouse the Exclusives. We shall not be surprised to see a school on the sectarian principle set on foot without delay. They can never do any good but out of spite or contradiction, and then as little as possible. Letters from Constantinople and Alexandria, the former of the 27th, and the latter of the 26th ult., have been duly received, together with Smyrna papers of the 29th ult., and Maltese journals to the Ist inst. The news from Malta will be found in another part of The Sun; but from Turkey anel Egypt the intelligence communicated is not of the slightest importance. Letters are written merely to assure those to whom they are addressed, that the writers have nothing to write about. With respect to the settlement of the Eastern question, no more appears to be known at Constantinople and Alexandria than at Paris and London. The Ambassadors were without powers from their respective Governments, and the fleets remained at the mouth of the Dardanelles, looking wistfully towards the Sea of Marmora, but not daring to approach it. Provisions were scarce and dear at Beshika Bay, and the anchorage was be coming so bad that the two fleets were preparing to leave it for Metelin or the Ourlac Islands. The best understanding continued to prevail between the officers and men of the two nations. There is very little news in the French Journals of Tuesday, the Moniteur, containing only in its official columns the following telegraphic despatch from the Spanish frontier : " BAYONNE, OCT. 14.—Espartero left Saragossa on the Bth ; and arrived at Fuentes on the 9th. His five divisions are concentrated at Muel. Cabrera awaits him at Cantavieja." NAPA RTE. Yct this fanfarronade of senile vanity is designated " manly and dignified" by the Times. The Journal de Paris says that it is stated as certain that Don CARLOS will have passports granted him for Saltzhur2„ where he wishes to fix his residence. "It was," continues this journal, " upon the formal refusal of the Great Powers to intervene in favour of his pretended rights to the Crown of Spain, that it was -.-soved to &mud passports, after deliberation in a Coun cil of the Pretender's adherents at Bourges. His departure, it is said, will take place towards the end of the month." As this statement is made in nearly the same terms the Constitutionne/, it is reason able that we should express some opinion upon it. The French Government cannot, we think, be ig norant, that to grant passports to Don CARLOS, permitting him to leave France before the war is completely terminated in Spain, is neither more ncr less than to afford him another opportunity of raising the standard of rebellion in that country It must be borne in mind that France does not stand in the position of a strictly neutral' power, with respect to the war in the Peninsula. Not ()lib, - has she 'recognised the Queen, but she has entered into a treaty, the express object of which is to cur off every hope of the succession of CARLOS. Spain ks therefore a right to insist that CARLOS shall be either given up to her or detained in France, while his standard remains unfurled in any part of her dominions ; and it is unquestionably the duty of our Government to take measures that that right be enforced and respected. Tire Nouvaiste has a letter from Algiers an nouncing that the Duke of ORLEANS has been attacked by lumbago, in consequence of having over-fatigued himself by riding from 20 to 30 miles daily under the burning sun of Africa. A Paris correspondent of the Augsburg Gazelle, after stating that the negociations commenced by M. de Brunow, at Loudon, are not likely to lead to a sa tisfactory result, adds—" Russia hes offered to Eng land to abstain from renewing th 9 Treaty of Unkiar Skelessi, on condition of the closing of the Dardanelles being recognised as an article of the law of nations. When the reasons are considered which have hindered the maritime powers from acknowledging this treaty, this offer of Russia must b e ! on k e l upon as ironical. How ever, we must wait for the issue of the nogociations." The Indicated?' of Bordeaux of the lath says : " It is said that the Queen of Spain has just con ferred the title of Duke on the Marquis de Miraflores, our Ambassador at Paris, as a testimony of her ap probation of his conduct ; the title of Marquis de Coss Alava on General Alava, the Spanish A.mLassador at London ; the title of Count de Casa de Cush,, on the President of the Council. Ali her Majesty's other Ministers have received the Grand Cross of the Order of Charles 111., on occasion of the peace of Bergara ; but their nomination will not be made public till after the definitive sanction of the law on the Fueres. " The Spanish Consul, as we hear, has addressed to-day letters to the numerous Spaniards residing at Bordeaux, to excite their generosity in favour of the unfortunate soldiers who bate no means of returning to their country."—Journal des Debats. It was reported yesterday evening 'that passports were to be given i to Don Carlos to go toStyria,whero that Prince appears inclined to fix his resickence. It is in consequence of the formal refusal ot the powers to favour his pretended rights to the Croft of Spain, that he has resolved, as it is said, to ask for his passports ; and that his departure will take place towards the end of the month. The Allgemcine Zeitung of Leipsic contains the fol lowing news, in a letter from Paris, dated the 4th : Since the Duchess of Leuchtenburg left Paris, a marriage has been spoken of between the Duke de Ne mours and the Princess Theolindu, daughter of Prince Eugene, and sister of the son-in-law of the Emperor Nicholas. We do not know whether negociations have been already commenced, but it is certain that the Duche.Ts and her daughter were received in the most gracious milnner by the Royal family."—Le Commerce.

From Hobart Town papers received to the Bth June : " The, Legislative Council met on Monday last, pur suant to requisition, when his Excellency the Lieute neet.Governor delivered a very long speech, of which the following is the substance :—He begins by stating that we assemble this day to discharge highly important duties confided to us anew by the Sovereign. It there fore becomes us to look up for aid to Hint who chine is wise, that He inly be pleased so to prosper all our con sultations, that in their results they may promote the well-being and happiness of the community ; he points out to them, not to propose but to disavowed intentioned proposing, far their consideration any measure to inter !ere with the exportation of grain, owing to the scarcity of the article of produce under which the Australian Colonies are labouring, which occasioned h considerable exportation of wheat from other parts ; and, as the har vest is believed n , t to have been so productive as usual, apprehensions have been entertained they might thus be deprived of the grain necessary for their own consumption; lie further adds, that during a long succession of seasons there has been no instance of a general failure of the harvest in that. colony. In some the returns have been less plentiful than in others, but there has seldom occurred even an approach to scarcity ; he further adds, that he has no idea of proposing any interference by legislative enactment with the freedom of the corn trade ; and there was another strong motive for non interference, did the Legislature of this colony give its assurance to any measure by which the inhabitants would be prevented from administering, in the exercise of a free tt a le, to the necessities of their country; men in the neighbouring colonies, not only would their own agriculture be discouraged, but the Go vernment. in New Holland might be driven to the alternative of nicking arrangements to secure the future years from other sources, even though at some disadvantage. He goes on by etating that he con gratulates them on the results of the operations of last year ; that he was exceedingly gratified during his re cent tour throu g h ou t t h e i nter i or , net on l y by the state cf public works which had been constructed, and the evident signs of active improvement which he observed in almost every direction, but also by the anxiety which prevails to obtain more extensively the means of reli gious instruction. Education also involves a question ' deeply interesting to the inhabitants ; he states that the first Bill which he will bring un der their attention is an Act to repeal the laws now in force in that island relating to the dis tribution of the insolvent estates, and to make provision far the more effectual distribution of such estates, be will also introduce an Act intituled "An Act to give' further powers to the Sheriff of that island ;" and the third Bill to which he drtn.es their attention is an Act for paving and lighting the towns of Hobart Town, and Launceston ; the fourth WI will he for altering and im proving the main roads ; the fifth Bill will be the Ap prentices and Servants' Act ; the sixth Bill is an ,ice to compel masters of vessels to come to anchor at certain stations within the ports of Hobart Town arid Launces ton. Be will also lay before them a recommenda ation, that an increase of IOW. per annum, should be made to the salaries of the principal superintendant of convicts, and the superintendent of priconers. Mr. Robinson had proceeded to New South Wales, but the proposed arrangement for the removal of the aborigines, has not been effected. The sickness which formerly prevailed, no longer continues. His Excellency finished by stating that he had briefly drawn their attention to the measures which in the course of the Session will be submitted to their sanction ; he congratulates them, upon the spirit of improvement which continues to per vade the colony." We have received the Perth Gazettes to the 4th of May. Western Australia seems ut length likely to overcome the difficulties through which that country has struggled so long. The accounts from various quarters are highly satisfactory, inasmuch as emigration and the employment of capital in emigration is rapidly progressing. 'Offers had been made by certain indi viduals in England and India to invest considerable sums in many of the productive sources of enterprise. Orders had been received to purchase a quantity of of shares in the Bank. We have received Ltunceston papers to the Gt June : " Sir. John Franklin's phi rest/ to the Legislative Council, on the opening. of the Sessions, last Monday week, is chiefly remarkable for the observations on the expediet.e . 7 of interfering with the exportation of corn from the island." I'Ve have received South Australian papers to the 26th June. Three of the aborigines have been t r i e d for murder, and the law was t o b allowed to take its course on two of the nafortunate men, who were found guilty. We 7 have received Swankitiver Papers to Ap r il 15 : . The high prices of every article of consumption must operate seriously against even the prospect of immigra tion being directed to cur shores for some time.

Id." 130 Ull.SE.—Pp.ms, TUESDAY, OCT. 15. Havre The Memorial Bordelais states that the Abso lutists have remitted a million of francs in specie to Cabrera, to enable him to carry on the war, and that the Count D'ESPAGNE had sent him a rein fercement of 6,000 men, under SEOARA, to enabl e him to cope successfully with ESPARTERO. And finally, as a climax to these warlike announcements, the Count DE LABRADOR has written a letter to the Editor of the National, in which he asserts that Don CARLOS has not, and never will, resign his pretensions to the Spanish Crown, and that both CARRERA and D'ESPAGNE will fight to the last. "As for me," continues the grandi loquent. Marquis, since you appear not to know me, I will tell you that lam the same man to whom FERDINAND VII. gave his full powers to to treat with CIIAMPAGNY, who was commis sioned by BUONAPARTE at the time of the infa mous ambush at Bayonne. W e were at Marrac in a room separated only from BUONAPARTE by a curtain, who, when his Plenipotentiary promised to me to renounce in the name of FERDINAND and his brother their right to the Throne of Spain, could hear me laugh at M. CHAMPAGNY'S magni ficent promises and at his dark threats, and declare that I would allow my hand to be cut off before it should sign my dishonour, or any act which at tacked the dignity and glory of my country. This was in 1808. The Royal Family of Spain were sent captives to Valencay, and I was placed in the dungeon of a citadel. The Man of Destiny was then at the apogoeum of his power ; but some years afterwards King FERDINAND and the In ' fante Don CARLOS occupied the Palace of Ma• drid, and the Congress of Vienna, of which I wa s a Member, stripped the superb usurper of his Im perior mantle, and a short time after the battle of Waterloo nailed him to the rock of St. Helena." This is the first time that we learned the dis tinguished part which the old twaddling Count de LABRADOR took in overthrowing the power of the great NAPOLEON; and it really appears a little odd that the conqueror of that hero should have been so many years vainly endeavouring to push a child from a throne from which he expelled a Buo- jccted to. 1' test Highest Lowest Last Price Price.

Of course the wish is not father to the thought, of course the Mail tells truth, and of course nobody believes a syllable of all the nonsense said, sung, or uttered in its columns. A curious prohibition was annexed to Vie leave most liberally given to Mr. D. Roberts, the artist, by Mehemet Ali, to enter all the mosques, and make draw- ings of their interiors. He was accompanied by a Ja nissary (being also himself in the Arab dress), and for bidden to use pencils of the bristles of the unclean beasts. They must be of camel's hair—nothing piggish being admissible. DRUNKENNESS AND SUICIDE.—On Tuesday morning an inquest was held at the Freemasons' Arms public-house, in Salmon's-lane, Limehouse, before Mr. Baker, the Coroner, on view of the body of William Brown, a shipwright, who terminated his existence by hanging himself on Sunday morning last. From the evidence it appeared that the deceased had for some considerable time past led a most drunken and dissipated life, and the consequence was the continual misery of himself and family. On Saturday he had been drinking freely, and on Sunday morning he was found hanging and perfectly lifeless. A verdict of " Temporary in sanity" was returned. The deceased has left a family of seven children. DEATH OF THE MARCHIONESS OF SAMS ! BURY.—it was hoped that the favourable accounts given on Monday night of the state of her Ladyship's health would have led to her recovery, but we have now the melancholy duty to announce the dissolution of her Ladyship, which took place at seven o'clock on Tuesday morning, after a painful illness of nearly nine months. It appears that at four o'clock on Tuesday morning a fatal charge was manifest, and the Noble Marquis, with Lord Cranbourne and the other youthful members of the fimily, were summoned to the chamber of death to take a last farewell of a devoted wife and affectionate mother. As we have before stated, at seven o clock her Ladyship ceased to exist, having to the last a deep sense of her approaching end, and displaying the resignation of a zealous Christian. It is needless to say the Marquis is inconsolable at the irreparable bereavement he has sustained. Her late Ladyship, who was the only daughter and heiress of the late Mr. B. Gascoigne, was married to the Marquis of Salisbury the 2d February, 1821, when the family assumed the name of Gascoigne Cecil by sign manual, and has left issue five children, the eldest of whom is Viscount Cranbourne, born the 29th October, 1821. We understand the disease to which her Ladyship fell a victim was dropsy. THRASHING MACHINES. --At the Essex Agri- • cultural Dinner Sir John Tyrrell said—" He was aware that at this time - there was much difference of opinion on the subject of the use of manual labour cr machinery. He would not give any decided opinion in favour of the employment of machinery, anxious as they must all be to employ the greatest number of hands. This, how ever, he could tell them, that in Scotland the factor gave Is. 6d. and 2s. a-quarter more for wheat thrashed by machinery than for corn which had been thrashed by the flail. In the neighbourhood in which they now were, some persons, some time since, had their farm produce burnt for using thrashing machinery ; in Scotland, on the contrary, they would be likely to have their ricks burnt for not using them. The Scotch were prover bially a shrewd people, and Dr. Johnson said that he had never heard of but one Jew who was able to get a living in Scotland, and he was a corn buyer and not a corn grower. Knowing how important it was for a' farmer to be enabled sometimes to lay a few bemired pounds on his table, it was a subject to which they ought to give their attention, as he was quite sure that, without either thrashing machinery, or eery quick la bour, it was impossible for them to do so."

It appeared from the statement of the a pP l'" cants, that the Metropolitan Police, although they loo trolledGoswell.street and a part of Charter-house-squa re, never entered the liberty of the Glasshouse-yard, which consisted of ninety houses, and that the inhabitants were left solely to the protection of their own constables. In a subsequent part of the day, Mr. Inspector Pen* , who was then in attendance, was asked if such were th e case, to which he replied that he understood that whe n the Metropolitan Police force was first establishe d they regularly patrolled the liberty of Glatsbouse - • yard, but that the inhabitants having refused t° pay any police-rate—they bad been withdrawn. w hy a GREENWOOD said he did not understand' vco a parish, by refusing to pay_ the rate, should have police power of withdrawing 'itself altogether from Po l i. lc,, '" inspection. The words of the Act were ,io ‘-`l's mind conclusive, and the intention of the r)e gislation evidently was to swallow up all *th ese petty jurisdictions in the jurisdiction of the rdet r° P e. litau Police Commissioners ; he should therefore deelieide swearing in the constables, unless the applicants s . h ° l e show cause why they sh o uld b e exe mpted front V c i operation of the Act, and referred them to the r e" Commissioners, who alone had the power to act., of No JUSTICE FOR FINCHLEY.—An inhabitant Finchley applied to Mr. Greenwood for a sur firn° % against an individual who had illegally detained sotol. cloth. The applicant stated that the Magist rates b ° o Finchley bad refused to grant him a summons, o n ground that by the New Police Act Finchley was 17: eluded in the metropolitan district, and that 006 quently they had no longer any jurisdiction. Mr. GREENWOOD.—Do the metropolitan police I' trol Finchley ? An Inspector.—No Sir. Mr. GREENWOOD.—Then until it is includ ed . i some district, I cannot interfere, as 1 do not cons i der I have any jurisdiction. MARCOROU - GH:STREET. (THIS DAY.)
