SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. TROD[ THE EVENING PAPERS Or YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—Those who placed credit in the state ments put forth by the journals of monopoly will be somewhat surprised at finding the Anti-Corn-law League in health and vigour. Notwithstanding the repeated assurances of these venerable and verit able authorities, the League is neither dead, nor in a State of eollapse. Having visited the provinces, and aided is " fighting the battle of the Constitu tion in the Registration Courts," its leaders have returned to, and resumed their position in, the metropolis. They last evening commenced their 4 monster meetings" Covent-garden Theatre ; which they have for the season, and where various modes of carrying out the objects of the Association, and of aiding its funds, will be put in execution. A condensed report of the proceed ings will be found in another part of our paper. Although we think it inexpedient to push the prin . ciple of abolition to the full extent to which the League is pledged, considerable benefits cannot fail to accrue to the cause of free trade from constantly keep ing before the public mind the mischiefs inflicted on the manufactures and commerce of the country by the existing Om of protective duties. The light which the League has cast upon this important subject has penetrated many of the dark places of the kingdom. Publtc opinion on the subject has been influenced to a degree which must in the end prove fatal to restrictions upon the importation of human food. Opposition to monopoly is no longer a passion ; it has become a principle with the great body of the people. It is net affected by a temporary susp ens i on o f th e conse quences which result from the artificial restrictions alder which our statesmen, with a lamentable " blindness to the future," place the means of em ploying and sustaining the great mass of the popula tion. The people have been taught to look to the natural results of a pernicious system. Thousands, wiser than their fathers, are now able to distinguish between the natural opera tions of that system, and its accidental interruptions, by circumstances which intervene to stay, for a time, its baneful progress. Hence though the dis tress, which for several successive years had grown and spread in the manufacturing districts, has been greatly mitigated by the late good harvests, and the openings for our manufactures which the recent events in China have produced, it is plain that through the existing system of high duties this impulse to trade will prove but tempo rary. The drain of Chinese silver to pay the amount of compensation to this country for the expenses of the war ; and the necessity which compels the payment in specie for the opium—which, though prohibited by the Chinese Government is still smuggled into the country ia large quantities—necessarily limit the means of purchase of British comm o diti es by th e Chi nese . Were it not for our heavy import duties upon tea, .and other articles, the produce of the country, the Chinese would exchange their goods for the fabrics - of this country ; and trade, upon the principle o f reci procity, would flow without impediment in the natural channels. Foreigners are availing themselves of the errors of our commercial code. The last ac counts from China state that while the trade in many descriptions of British goods was declining, the menu thetures of Amerlea—the representative of which had concluded a treaty with the Chinese Govsrnment —were in increased demand. Had some demon been employed ' to preside in the councils of this country, and to prompt her rulers to measurea for obscuring her glory and crippling her energies, the end could not have been more secur e ly e ff ec t e d than by the system which, as in mockery of the mischievous results it works, is designated" Protection to British interests." No wonder that Covent-garden Theatre—capacious as that building is—was last night crowded to the ceiling by an attentive and highly respectable audi ence. It was not the attraction of mere novelty which brought the multitude together. Many of them had heard the same speakers expound the same doctrines, and demonstrate the same results, again and again. It was a public testimony against the system of monopoly; an embodiment of the abiding conviction which pervades the public mind, that the commercial policy of our Legisla ture is a false and ruinous policy, pregnant with folly, and fraught with eventual ruin to every interest in the country, and with inhumanity and misery to the most dependent and numerous cla sses o f th e popula tion. The statements made by the Chairman of the meeting as to what the League had effected in the Registration Courts, and the prospects thus op ene d to the cause of free trade at the next election, will be a significant warning to the party in power to " set their houses in order." STANDARD.— The neglect of the commander of the Basilisk to answer the salutes offered by the French authorities in Otaheite upon the Queen's birth-day, cannot be explained with certainty until we are in possession of the gallant officer's own ac eoant of his motives. It is, however, surely unneces sary to assume that any offence was intended by the simple quiescence ascribed to Mr. Hunt. Many good reasons, wholly unconnected with unfriendly feeling to France, might have determin e d th a t gen tl eman to pursue the line that he did pursue; some of them so cogent that we think the presumption would be against him, had he taken a different course. Queen Pomare was, we believe, on board the Basilisk—a deposed Sovereign, a fugitive from her enemies ; we will not say persecutors—certainly an unfortu nate exile, almost a prisoner. Now, as a mere question of feeling, it was hardly free to the officer with whom the fugitive had sought and found an asylum to ostentatiously exchange compliments, from the ship that carried her Majesty, with the enemies from whom she was flying—more especially as their compliments were commenced in a manner altogether unusual, for it is not, as we are aware, the practice in the French or any other service—it cer tainly is net the practice of our own service—to cele brate, by salutes, the birthday of a foreign Sovereign. lire have all shown our sincere respect for Louis Philippe, yet we believe that the public would be 4 little surprised to hear the Park and Tower guns fired on the 6th of next October in cele bration even of that good and great Prince's birth day. The questi on o f feeling (which, however, we should be sorry to see excluded from the breasts of British officers) put on one side, Mr. Hunt might have some apprehension of committing his Govern ment, or committing himself with his superiors, by any proceeding not strictly warranted by established usage or his written orders. There has been a great deal of negotiation about the protectorate of Otaheite, and we, though so much nearer the scene of the nego- Uation, and professional observers of political events, are at this moment unable to say in what position the question stands. The French may have stn acknowledged right to occupy Otaheite with an armed force, or they may have renounced that right ; but however this may be, it is plain th a t h a lf a year ago Mr. H un t coul d know nothing upon the point beyond this, that the matter was in dispute, and, therefore, when challenged by a display which, under fhe circumstances, was suspicious, because it was unprecedented, he merely acted with prudence in quietly declining to answer the challenge. If his disposition had been hostile he would not lose the opportunity of showing that it was so by some prac- Liget protest. After all that the war journals can say of each prudent reserve, they will scarcely succeed in inflaming it into a ground of quarrel. THE ANTI-CORN-LAW LEAGUE. Manchester is the centre of the Anti-Corn-law, as Birmingham is of the Universal Suffrage, agitation. At Manchester are held the general meetings of the Anti-Corn-law League, and here it is that the Com mittee of the League constantly sits. The kindness of a friend premixed me admission to the great esta blishmeut of the League at Manchester, where I had the satisfaction of seeing and hearing much that sur prised and interested me. George Wilson and other well-known leaders of the League, who were as sembled in the Committee-room, received me as a stranger, with much kindness and hospitality, readily answering all my questions, and making, me acquainted with the details of their operations. I could not help asking myself whether in G e r man y, men, who at tacked, with such talent and energy, the fundamental laws of the State, would not have been long ago shut tip in some gloomy prison as conspirators and traitors, instead of being permitted to carry on their operations thus freely and boldly in the broad light of day; and, secondly, whether in Germany such .men would ever have ventured to admit a stranger into all their secrets with such frank and open cordiality. I was astonished to observe how the Leaguers, all private persons, mostly merchants, manufacturers, and men of letters, conducted political business, like statesmen and ministers. A talent for public business seems an innate faculty in the English. Whilst I was in the Committee-room immense numbers of letters were brought in, opened, read, and answered, without a moment's delay, These letters, pouring in from all parts of the United Kingdom, were of the most various oontents, some trivial, some important, but all connected with the objects of the party. Some brought news of the movements of eminent Leaguers, or of their opponents ; for the eye of the League is ever fixed open the doings both of friend and enemy. Others contained pecuniary contributions from well wishers of the cause ; for each of whom the president Immediately dictated an appropriate letter of thanks. Other letter related anecdotes, showing the progress of the cause, and the gradual defection of the farmers, the most resolute supporters of Peel.—Kohl's Travels in Ekeland.

Let it not lee I said that th 4 Corporation of the first City in the world sought to save its funds under 1 such a paltry and miserable pretence as that put t forth on the present occasion.—(Hear, hear.) I He (Mr. Bowers) entreated the Court to remember i that the claim was, in this instance, made on behalf of thousands in the district to which its benevolence would be applied, who rose daily without knowing there was a God to worship, or a Saviour to whom to look for redemption.—(Hear, hear.) On these grounds, he trusted the Court would agree to the adoption of the report. Mr. D. W. Wean rejoiced that the Court had been afforded an opportunity of listening to all that could be said in favour of the proposed grant, which was sought on the ground just stated, that it was necessary for a church which had been built, and for the in struction of a poor and ignorant class of the com munity. He (Mr. Wire) concurred in the sentiment that it was the duty of every man to assist in re moving ignorance from the land, and it was because he so concurred that he opposed the grant.—(Hear.) He opposed it, because he was of opinion that instead of removing it would perpetuate ignorance, and tend to enslave the minds of the people. The last speaker had talked of the bug-bear of Puseyism. Did he know what Puseyism was ? Was he aware that the Puseyite writers disavowed the name of Protestant, and had assumed that appropriated to another Church —the Catholic Church ?—(Hear.) He (Mr. Wire) protested against the surrender of the one name and the usurpation of the other. Mr. Newman and Dr. Pusey, in their fruits and sermons, spoke tenderly and kindly of that Church from which the Church of England had dissented, as they spoke slightingly of the. name " Protestant." They sought to lead the Church of England back to the Church of Rome, and to abandon those tenets for which their forefathers went to the stake.-se(Hear.)

SOUTRAMPTO2Q 7 DEC. 12.—The Royal Mail Com pany's steam-ship Avon, Captain Strutt, arrived here at ten o'clock this day, bringing all the West Indian, &c., mails—those from the following places up to the dates expressed against them, viz.:—Tampico, to Oct. 26 ; Vera Cruz, to Nov. 2 ; Havannah, to the 10th ; Demerara, to the 3d ; Trinidad, to the sth ; Grenada, to the 10th ; St. Thome', to the 15th ; and Bermuda, to the 23d, being the day of the Avon's departure thence. She has brought on freight, it is believed, the largest amount of specie ever shipped from the east ern coast of Mexico in one bottom, viz., 2,078,7391 dollars (268,067 of which are on account of the Mexican dividends) ; 6001 ounces of gold dust, &c. ; 2,679 ounces silver in masses ; 991 b. 4oz. platina and Plata Bruta ; 108 serons cochineal ; 23 serons purge de jalapa ; 3 serons gum copal. Also seventeen passengers, fire Government ditto, two wrecked seamen, one invalid, together with the crew of the late steamer Actaeon, belonging to this THE LATE BANK ROBBERY BY BURGESS AND ELDER, AND THE TRA VELS OF THE DELINQUENTS. As this is probably the greatest instance on recoid of the successful tracing and bringing to justice of any party charged with crime, it may he considered interesting to give a short account of John Forres ter's proceedings after his departure from England. It will be remembered that Burgess end Elder had left this country by the steamer Britannia, bound for Malifax and Boston. At the time these persons left England, it was of course impossible to say to which of these places they purposed to go. It was, there fore, determined that Forrester should set off for Halifax first, and endeavour to trace them from place to place to their destination, wherever that might be. The officer accordingly went to Halifax, but, upon arriving there, was unable to find any trace either of Burgess or Elder. His only course, therefore, was to wait at Halifax for a day or two, until the Bri tannia, which was then shortly expected on her home way voyage from America, should arrive. The arri val of that vessel occurred about two days after For rester reached Halifax, when he was fortunate enough to meet with the captain who had taken the two fugi tives out, and from whom he learned that the parties in question had been passing by the names of Ellis, senior and junior, uncle and nephew; that they had made an acquaintance with an American gentleman resident in Michigan, whom he (the captain) had landed along with them at Boston, the two former having in their possession a portmanteau containing something of very great weight, to which they seemed to attach much importance • and supplied w ith this information, F orres t er , as might be supposed, was most anxious to get to Boston at the earliest possible moment. There was, however, no vessel to sail fur that place for ten days or more, and under these cir cumstances he determined to proceed thither by land, through Canada. This alone is a Journey of about GOO miles. In due course he arrived at .11 oston, and there ascertained that the two Ellises, alias Burgess and Elder, and the American gentleman, to whose good offices they had recommended themselves, had pro ceeded to New Ye 4, At New York a curious circumstance occurred. Forrester had been advised to go to the Astor Hotel, which is one of the most respectable of the houses of public resort in that city, and upon his arrival he di reeted the coaebmen to drive him to that hotel, Upon arriving at the Astor Hotel he found a great crowd assembled in consequence of the election of the new President of the United States. Thinking the situa tion rather too public, he desired the coachman to take him to another hotel, in a more retired locality. He W 45 then driven tq two or three other hotels, net one of which he fancied, but at last he Ives set down ze inn which he thought would answer his purp ose .

The Avon was four days overdue, but it was partly occasioned by some unavoidable delay and head winds. The mails left for London by the eleven o'clock train, and no doubt will be delivered this afternoon. The railway authorities at Southampton delayed the eleven o'clock train upwards of ten minutes, to enable the mails to be dispatched by it. We are sorry to record the total loss of the Ac talon steam-ship, belonging to the Royal Mail Company, which took place on the morning of the 20th of October, under the following circum stances :—She was rounding the Punta Canoe, at eight in the morning, the Pops or high land within the city being S.S.E. The Actaeon steering south, struck at 8.40, upon a sunken rock, supposed to be the Negrillo, but which, according to the chart, should have been nearer the land than the ship then was. Immediately she struck, the captain, with the view of lightening her, ordered the boilers to be blown off, but without effect till about 30 minutes afterwards. A swell of the sea then lifted her off, when it soon became evident that, in spite of every exertion, she could not be kept long afloat. Sail was then made to force her on shore, or into shallow water. Precisely, however, at 20 minutes past 11 she went down in 6i fathoms. The captain, officers, and crew, on this trying emergency, behaved with the most praiseworthy courage. Every one was calm and collected, and the orders of the captain were obeyed with readiness and punctuality. He was the last to leave the ill fated vessel. All hands were safely got into the boats, and steered for Carthagena, from which they were about nine miles distant. They landed in safety, and were hospitably received by the autho rities. As soon as danger was apparent, the mai;; were taken out, and duly placed in one of the boats in charge of the mail officer. That gentleman, in his anxiety to do his duty, lost the whole of his wardrobe and other effects. A small quantity of stores was also secured. There were only three passengers on board at the time of the disaster. It was very fortunate that at the moment of the wreck taking place the weather was moderate. An hour previously, however, it had been blowing a gale. The Actaeon makes the fourth vessel lost since the establishment of the Royal Mail Steam Company, being a quarter of the number of steam-ships it has afloat. They are—the Medina, the Isis, the Solway (in which so many 'lives were sacrificed), and now this unfortunate ship completes the number. The Actaeon, however, was the smallest of the four, being only 600 tons burthen. Her value, exclusive of stores, &c., was about 25,0001. She plied between the various islands for the intercolonial mails. This unfortunate disaster has caused the greatest sympathy to be felt for the company in the town of Southampton, and no doubt it will be generally re ciprocated elsewhere. The loss of the three other vessels was a great pecuniary blow to this spirited company, and now that all the vessels are in good working trim, makes their voyage with the greatest punctuality, and everything has been going on smoothly for some time, this calamity falls upon them with additional force. The Avon passed the City of Aberdeen on the Bth instant, at 8 A.X., being then in lat. 47 14 N., lon. 18 W. The Spartan frigate was at Vera Cruz, and the Illustrious (with the flag of Sir C. Adam) and the Hyacinth at Bermuda. The John Renwick had arrived at Bermuda, having on board the lantern and machinery for, the Lighthouse in course of erection at Wreck Hill, which it is supposed will be in operation at the com _ meneement of the new year, or soon afterwards.
