TATTERSALL'S—MoNnAY. The settling for the last day at Newmarket (only partially effected, we should imagine, from the number of inquiries made after parties who neither took:the trouble to attend per sonally or by deputy) was followed by some Derby betting, for which three horses were so near together that we confess our inability to say which had the call at the close. The Angelica colt was supported, first at 20 to 1, and at two points less after wards ; he had plenty of friends ; Wardan was backed, not with spirit, at 18 to 1 ; and offers made to twee 20 to 1 about Launcelot ; the market price of each at the close may be stated at 18 to 1. Lord Jersey's horses were also in favour ; 20 to 1 was taken about Glenorchy ; and as several offers were made to back the two at 11 to 1 (a point more than any one would bet), Muley Ishmael's price cannot be more than 22 to I. 2,000 to 100 was bettod against Brother to Euclid, and an advance of two points and a half in the subsequent offer. Grey Milton was in considerable demand, 30 to 1 finding willing takers ; his next price was 28, Isis final one 25 to 1 offered. The Oaks—a slight decline in Crucifix, and one bet of 1,000 to 100 about Pocahontas is all that we had to notice.

CHARLES LE DOER TRENCH, THE VENERABLE ARCHDEACON OF AR DAGH.—It is with pain and deep r egret I h ave to an nounce to you the demise of this amiable, high-minded, and excellent Christian, which took place at his seat, Macknay, at half-past last night. Typhus fever was the disease which removed him from the scene of his use fulness, and carried him off in a very few days. He caught the infection during his spiritual vocation, while attend ing at the sick bed of one of his poor parishioners. As a minister lie was unceasing in his endeavours for the spiritual welfare of those to whom he was sent to minis ter, and his own life and conversation exhibited practi cally what the Christian should be in word and deed. His loss will be irreparable in this neighbourhood, con sidered alike in all the relations of a private gentleman, a magistrate, and a clergyman. He was very charitable, and as a friend, neither trouble, time, nor expense were spared, when his exertions could be employed for the desery ing. — Cerrespoild en t Qf the Leinster Express. Miss Austin, the new Mandane at Covent-gar den, is a daughter of Mr. George Austin, an architect of Canterbury. The young lady has been engaged by Madame Vestris for the whole season. The Bank of England, it is gait], has put an end to the Three per Cent. agreements with those country banks which had consented not to issue their own notes, but to use Bank of England paper to be supplied to them in certain amount s at three per cent. per annum interest. These banks may still have Bank of England notes at 6 per cent. interest, and the Bank of England allows them a small commission, said to be per cent. per annum on the average annual amount of notes they can keep in circulation. It is probable this will remove another cause of embarrassment to th e Bank of England in her endeavours to regulate the cur rency, THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, NOVEMJ3ER 5, 1839. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. Sheridan Knowles has again achieved a triumph. A new five act play from his pen, entitled Love, was produced at this theatre last evening, which, although not equal to the Hunchback, is yet, if we mistake not, destined to hold a permanent place in the dramatic literature of the country. In the first act we find the young Countess of Eppel). stein (Miss Ellen Tree) in her study with her Secretary Huon (Mr. Anderson), a serf ; he is reading to her a tale of love, and from his manner it is evident he loves her devotedly yet hopelessly ; she loves him too, but her pride forces her to hide, and endeavour to overcome her love, and she seeks to hide it under the mask of haughty severity to him she loves. At length she unwittingly betrays her secret. She is hawking, attended by her retinue, a storm comes on—a tree under which Huon is standing is struck by lightning, Huon falls stunned to the ground—she flies to his assistance in an extacy of grief—he recovers his senses, and she in stantly returns to her semblance of haughty persecu tion, but too late. Count Ulrick (Mr. Diddear), dis covers her love, and informs her father, the Duke of Corinthia (Cooper)", of the discovery. He de liberates with Count Ulrick as to the best course to be pursued, and at length determines to force Huon to marry Catherine (Madame Vestris) an enfranchised serf, but who possesses wealth, and for whose hand numerous suitors are found among the poor nobility. He calls Huon to him and draws up a paper in which he engages Huon to marry Catherine, Huon refuses to sign it. The Duke leaves him, giving him an hour to consider, and if he then refuses threatens to send him to the gallies. The Countess enters, and demands what was the occasion of her father's anger with him —he shows her the paper, which drops from her hands, and she stands for a time mute with agony. Words at length force their way, and she passionately declares her love for Huon, and engages Huon to swear by that love, to do whatever she shall demand of him —he promises—and she bids him sign the paper; he complies—she directs Catherine and the priest to attend her and Huon to the Chapel, where she will herself see the ceremony performed, and her ' father delighted with her thus conquering her love, blesses her, and enfranchises Huori on his marriage. That same day the old Duke, who had long been ailing, dies and directs by his will that if his daughter will not choose a husband, a solemn tour ' nament shall be held, and the conqueror be re warded with her hand. Huon has fled from the chapel door immediately on the conclusion of the ceremony, and although search has been made, and large rewards offered for him by the Countess, no tidings have been heard of him. Cathe rine remains in her service, disguised in male attire, as her Secretary, and thus has an opportunity of discovering who, among her former admirers, sought her for her wealth, and who for herself. The Empress arrives to preside at the tournament, and in her train she brings a stranger knight, who, by his deeds in arms, has become the observed of all observers. He proves to be Huon, and the Coun tess then becomes the victim of jealousy, deeming him the chosen of the Empress. She seeks an in terview with him, and this scene is in our opinion the finest in the play, and was most effectively and beautifully performed by Miss Ellen Tree, who was here well supported by Anderson. She urges him to prove his love by quitting the service of the Empress, which he re fuses, and thus her jealousy becomes confirmed. The last act opens with the preparations for the tournament. The Empress (Mrs. Brougham), in an interview with the Countess, informs her that the Church has absolved Huon from his vows to Catherine, and that he is to enter the lists to com bat for her hand, he who has never been defeated. The lists are closed, and the Prince of Milan is declared the victor, having unhorsed H uon , The victor claims the hand o the Countess, who declares that she is already a wife—that unknown to Huon himself it • was to her his vows were plighted in the chapel, for her name also is Cathe rine—Catherine also having found out in her dis guise that Sir Rupert loved her for hersolf, gives him her hand, and the curtain falls. The whole weight of the piece falls upon Miss Ellen Tree, and nobly did she sustain it—dignified, tender, and impassioned, she was all the poet himself could have wished. Anderson was the Huon, and although exceedingly good in parts, yet on the whole he was wanting in tenderness. This gentleman possesses talent, and will do well in his profession if he will give himself fair play ; but to do this he must cease imitating Macreadv. What little Cooper had to do was done carefully ; and Diddear's Ulrick is worthy of high praise—his de clamation is excellent. Madame Vestris made the most that could be made of Catherine, and the lighter scenes in which she appears are an agree able relief to the more pathetic parts of the drama. Knowles was called for at the fall of the curtain, and Bartley came forward to apologise for his ab sende, and to announce the piece for repetition, amidst the loud applause of a most crowded house. Miss Ellen Tree, Anderson, and Madame Ves tris, were subsequently called for, and made their appearance before the curtain. The play is re plete with exquisitely poetical passages, and through out contains nothing approaching to bombast or bad taste. We give the following extracts as specimens of the poetry. They were very effectively given by Anderson ; in short, throughout the scene with the Duke he was exceedingly good : " 0, What is death, compared to slavery ! Brutes may bear bondage—they were made for it, When Heaven set man above them; but no mark, Definite and indelible, it put Upon one man to mark him from another, That he should live his slave. 0 heavy curse ! To have thought, reason, judgment, feelings, tastes, Passions, and conscience, like another man, And not have equal liberty to use them, But call his mood their master !" " My Lord ( I am a man ; And, as a man, owe duty higher far Than that I owe to thee, which Heaven expects That I discharge. Didst thou command me murder, Steal, commit perjury, or even lie— Should Ido it, though thy serf? No ! To espouse her, Not loving her, were murder of her peace. I will not sign for that 1 With like default, To compass mastery of her effects, Were robbery. I will not sign for that 1 To swear what I must swear to make her mine, Were perjury at the very altar. Therefore I will not sign! To put forth plea of love, Which not a touch of love bears witness to, Were uttering a lie. And so, my Lord, I will not sign at all 1-0, good my liege, My lord, my master, ask me not to sign I My sweat, my blood, use without sparing; but Leave me my heart—a miserable one Although it be 1 Coerce me not in that, To make me do the thing my heart abhors ! I beg no more !" Glenarm Castle (on the coast of Antrim), the beautiful seat of Edmund M'Donneil, Esq., is at pre sent the scene of great hospitality. Viscount and Vis countess Chelsea, Lord Mark and the Ladies Kerr, the Right lion. George and Mrs. Dawson, and several sporting gentlemen are visiting there. The whole of the tapestry, shields, transparent paintings, and other decorations of the Wellington pavilion, at Dover, are to be brought to the hammer at Dover. DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.—On Tucsday last an accident of a most painful nature befel a lad named Geo. Wright, an apprentice of Mr. John Young, ship• builder, of this town. Wright was on the stage at work, on the outside of a schooner, now on the stocks in the yard, while another shipwright was at work inside the vessel, boring a hole through with an augur, and just opposite to the place wh ere W r i g h t stoo d on the outside, Wright having stooped down to inspect more minutely his work, when, unfortunately, the augur came through, and striking him with great force on the eye, absolutely extracted it from the socket. The poor fellow fell down in the greatest agony, and was imme diately taken to the surgery of Mr. Hawkins, where every thing that professional skill an I kindness could suggest was done.—Monmouthshire UTILITY OF MONEY.—Philosophers may rea son, and divines may declaim as much as they * please respecting the vanity and worthlessness of money ; I must take the liberty of differing from them. Ab stractly speaking, I admit the circulating medium is despicable enough ; but though this be true, and though, I hope, I am the last man in th e wor ld t h at wou ld d o anydishonourable action to gain money, yet it is not to be denied that it is a remarkably useful commodity. It is a necessary evil ; it smooths the rugged path of life ; it enables 's man to walk the . publi c t h oroug hf ares more co nsequentially ; to hold his head more erect in society than he could otherwise do ; in a word, money works miracles.— Walks and Wanderin gs in the World of Literature, by the Author cf " The Great Metropoli s.' THE WEATHER. — We have on the whole had excellent weather this week in Glasgow. The potatoe crop is nearly secured, and a most ple n tif u l ono it i s , for whi c h we can not be sufficiently thankful.—Glasgow Paper. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS (MONDAY EVENING.) POST.—The funds have been greatly depressed again to-day in both markets. The pressure upon the markets was occasioned principally by certain rumours which were is circulation respecting the proceedings of the Bank of England, for the papers, both morning and evening, have to-day indulged more liberally than usual in speculations on the subject. The reports pre valent were not, however, by any means confined to what has been said by the press, as almost every individual engaged in mercantile operations, or in any way interested in the changes of the Money Market, has had a version of his own to offer as to the more recent movements of the " Parlour." A bill drawn by her Majesty's Superintendent of the Chinese trade on the Treasury having made its ap pearance, it. was supposed by many that the inten tion of indemnifying the parties who surrendered their opium under the general arrangement was being actually carried into effect, and that the draft in question was but the first of a series which would be continued to the extent of between two and three mil lions steriing. But we understand that the present drawing has no reference whatever to the main question at issue. Captain Elliot has no doubt passed a bill upon the Treasury, but, if we are correctly advised, it is to meet a specific and limited object. If we recollect rightly, one of the most serious charges levelled against the Bank Directors has been that they, by discounting bills at the present high rate of interest, are absolutely profiting by their own errors ; and, if such be the fact, there can be little justice in the accusation we have quoted. The Bank were doing scarcely any business in the way of discounts at the period referred to, and, at the low rate of interest then demanded, the passive course of policy pursued could not have been perse vered in with a view to the interests of the proprietors. It would have been fortunate had the Bank taken earlier measures to arrest the drain of bullion. Much of the speculative business in corn and cotton, as well as in foreign stocks and shares, might have been thereby prevented ; but we can fully appreciate the unwilling ness that must always be felt by the board to take such s teps as must, frOm the very nature of them, have the effects of disturbing private credit. The Courier mentions that, among the rumours afloat, the sale of the " dead weight" annuity was one of the foremost on the list, as is usual on these occasions ; next to which comes the project of exchanging the Consols taken by the . Bank for Exchequer bills at the ti me of Lord Monteagle's conversion, both interests being, it is said, about to be brought to market. Front the same authority we extract the following:— " An impression having gone abroad that it was the intention of the Bank to take money at six per cent, thereby becoming borrowers on discount, instead of lenders, it may be useful to state the Circumstance which Aare rise to the report. An offer was made to the Bank by a firm of great resources and of the highest re spectability in the City, to rediscount some of its paper which the Bank held at the same rate at which the Bank had discounted it, namely, at six per cent. ; this offer hay ing been made by the firm to whom we allude, for the purpose of advantageously and safely employing some of its surplus funds which it found to be accumulating ra pidly. It is this circumstance which has given rise to the report of the intention of the Bank to take up money at six per cent. ; a report obviously absurd, as the effect of such a proceeding would evidently be to cause the deposits in the Bank to be drawn out and re-deposited at six per cent interest." There may be, and probably is, some truth in what is here set forth ; but we have heard the same matter somewhat differently explained. It was stated that the Bank having last week discounted more largely for one of the great money houses in Lombard-street than they were quite disposed to do, and that as a large propor tion of the sum remained unappropriated, the surplus was offered to be returned to . the Bank, or, in other words, a proposition was made to the Directors for the withdrawal of a portion of the same paper upon which the discounts had been afforded. The Globe repeats the report which the Courier very properly treats as an absurdity, with the addition : - The Bank has put an end to the 3 per cent. agree ments with those country banks which had consented not to issue their own notes, but to use Bank_of England paper, to be supplied to them in certain amounts, at 3 per cent. per annum interest. These banks may still have Bank of England notes at 6 per cent. interest, and the Bank of England allows them a small commission, said to be per cent. per annum, on the average annual amount of notes they can keep in circulation. It is probable this will remove another cause of embarrassment to the Bank of England, in her endeavour to regulate the currency." We leave our readers to make what they can of these contradictory, and, many of them, unreasonable state• ments. Our Contemporaries have, we dare say, at least equal opportunities with ourselves of penetrating into the mysteries of the Corporation. If there be anything at all special going on in the parlour, we are, we confess, ignorant of the fact. Messrs. Rothschild have, it is well known, been lately supplying the Bank of England with very large amounts of sovereigns ; and it will, we rather think, turn out that the only bills which have been re-issued by the establishment are such as have been placed with those gentlemen under an arrangement mutually satisfactory, in payment for the same—the object being, of course, not to contract, but to avoid increasing the note circulation at the pre sent crisis. There was once more an advance in the price of grain in Mark-lane. This was doubtless regarded by the moneyed interests as an unfavourable token, and as one which furnishes grounds for apprehending a re opening of the ports at the nominal rate of duty at no very distant period. The Bank of France has just lowered its price for the purchase of gold from 7 to 5 francs premium per mille, or about per cent. This measure will not only prevent the melting down of the sovereigns at present in Paris, but, by reducing their value on the Continent, it will have the effect of hastening their re-exportation to England. The return of sovereigns from France has now for some weeks past been proceeding steadily, and their exportation frem hence has ceased long ago. TIMES.—The " re-discounting" ascribed by com mon report to the Bank of England on Saturday is now said to be limited to some transactions with the leading discount brokers, who have taken back certain bills discounted a short time previously, and have been allowed interest upon them at the rate originally stipu lated for. As this differs in no degree from what bankers term a " re-discount," the rumour adverted to must be allowed to have had a tolerably good founda tion. At the same time, the assertion is made in quar ters connected with the Bank, that the matter is to end here, and that these are the only transactions of the kind that are to be permitted. This remains to be proved, but the principle is not the less to be con demned, as both an encouragement to speculation and a departure from sound management, of which the example ought not to have been set by the Bank of England. Private letters from Paris notice the arrival in that city of a member of the house of Baring and Co., the object of whose visit was said to be to enter into nego ciations with the Bank of France and the French merchants concerned for a renewal of the terms of the operation formerly arranged on deposit of security against the provisional advance of 2,000,000/. It was feared that his proposition would not be acceded to; as popular feeling was strongly excited against it, and the press, with scarcely an exception, decried it. It was almost feared the Government might interfere with the Bank to refuse acquieicence in.the face of such demon strations of its unpopularity. The October settlement at the Stock Exchange was proceeding quietly, and so easy was money, that the continuation to next account day on the Three per Cents. was only. 15 centimes, or at the rate of not quite 2 per cent. per annum; whilst in the Five per Cents. it was at par—that is a the• prices for money and account were the same. CHRONICLE —We stated on Saturday that the Bank of England were willing to re-discount bills with the brokers at 6 per cent., for the purpose of contract ing the circulation ; but we understand that they con fined their proposals to sums of 50,0001., and there is no truth in the rumours given by the Times that they had made offers for "loans," nor indeed is th *re any thing " new" in the transaction, as the Bank Directors have had recourse to the same expedient on former occasions. This offer will tend to maintain the high rates of discount, and as those at Hamburg and Paris are only about four per cent. the Directors probably expect that merchants engaged in the foreign trade will send their paper to those places, and thus a fund will be created to draw upon, which will assist in turn ing the reflux of gold back to this country, m oney continues in the sume demand as on Saturday. The amount of bills which fell due to-day was necessarily limited in consequence of the general contraction of bu siness, and no ;apprehensions were entertained about them. Exchequer Bills are heavy. u high p wrhic ich s for th e teas passed for subseque n tly o ff e red, and the withdrawal was d one at At the tea sale in Mincing -lane t o - day, 1 5,012 pack ages were offered for competi tion, 4,.500 of w hi c h on l y were sold, an d 6,300 withdrawn.

The Congous and Souchongs were suld at 2d. to 3d. dearer than the October sale, Orange Pekoe 4d. dearer, Twankays lid. dearer, and Hysons 3d. to 4d. HERALD.—Considerable sensation has been ex cited amongst our monetary and commercial interests, by the announcement of a Morning Contemporary, that the members of the I3ank parlour had d ev i sed a new mode of con t rac ti ng the circulation —namely, by " tak ing loans of money by tatateve , r , parties th ey may b e offered, a t t h e rate o f 6 per cent." An operation of this nature would amount to nothing more than the baneful practice of re - discounting, so con trary to all sound principles of banking. We believe that the rumour upon which this peculiar s t a t ement was founded arose ou t o f the transpiring of the fact, that over tures had been made by a firm of the hi g h est stan di ng and very g r ea t resources, to re-discount any paper held by the Bank at the same rate at which the direction had themselves discounted i:—namely, 6 per cent. There is no doubt but that a firm of the magnitude to which we refer would be happy thus to accommodate the bank with its surplus capital. But to re-discount paper at the samo rate it was discounted, although something might be gained in the reduction of the time which those bills had to run, would, at the end of the year, show but a very Flemish account. Without, however, dwelling upon the policy of such dealing, we can state, in the most positive terms, that the Bank has not adopted any such plan of curtailing their circulation—and more, that at present it is not contemplated. The only operation attempted by the Bank to con trol the Continental exchanges has been the late nego tiation with the Bank of France fora supply of bullion. That source is not et exhausted, and our remarks yesterday fully explain all the difficulties attending a negotiation when the tide of lyallion does not freely turn towards this country by a single operation as it were. The chief causes for the unfavourable state of the exchanges may thus be enumerated : First, the late heavy imports of corn have already absorbed, on the whole, about 8,000,000 sterling ; the exports of manufactures from hence to the Continent, while this has been going on, bas been about 6,000,000 ; from that, deduct 3,000,000 of credit from the Bank France, used on account of bullion, and add nearly 1,000,000 absorbed by over-due American paper, making a total of about 12,000,000 sterling absorbed by transactions that must be represented in gold. To remedy this most important existing evil, there is a strong feeling with practical men that the Bank of England should open further credit accounts for bullion with the principal leading banks of the Continent, in order effectually to obtain a sure and safe mode of equalising the exchanges of Europe, in preference to any other operation. That thelßank must provide for its Continental credit, with its own circulating medium here, there is no doubt. Under a partial operation of this nature, to which we have before alluded, there may be some hazard of success ; it is, however, very feasible that a more extended or universal junction with the leading banks of Europe might produce that equalisa tion in the exchanges which would at once relieve the Bank and our vast commercial community from jeopardy, if any really prevails. We do not profess or assume to be the organ of the Bank of England, but, without transgressing the truth, we may conclude by stating that the Bank direction have every confidence_that the Money Market will assume a better appearance, and that they will be able, at present, to struggle against the " system" which has fixed them in their present position. Money has been much in demand to-day in the Dis coUnt Markets, but we have heard of no unfavourable result in consequence. Some of the latest commercial accounts from Calcutta give a few curious but important particulars arising out of the late seizure of opium by the Chinese. It appears that the consigners of opium in Bengal, having taken legal opinions, have resolved to hold their consignees liable for giving up their consignments of the drug to Superintendent Elliot, without their authority ; and in turn, it is understood that the consignees will look to Captain Elliot for reparation ; thus, out of this peculiar transaction some very intricate legal proceed ings may be anticipated. One fatal result, arising out of the existing interrup tion of our direct traffic with the Chinese nation, is, that it has opened the door for a temporary carrying on of trade with American bottoms. Great complaint continues to be made by the mer chants and the newspaper proprietors of Calcutta of the irregularity in the management, by the Post office authorities at Bombay, of the Post-office dawk, the letters and papers by the June mail from England being only delivered at Calcutta in six different despatches, and some of them in a very dirty, torn condition. Some Post-office exactions have also called forth some severe remarks. It appears that all letters coming from Bombay to Calcutta about the same time as the overland mail, marked as skip letters, but having no English post-mark, are charged, besides the Bombay postage, an extra sum, on the pre sumption that they must b letters sent out by the mail from Suez, or some other intermediate place between England and Bombay, and therefore liable to the com pany's share of the overland postage plus the Bombay postage. It must strike every one that there must be some very blundering management in the India Post office Department. Complaints of this nature were made several months ago ; it now seems they must have been passed over by the Board of Control and the Leadenhall.street authorities. SUN.—The demand for money has been rather exten sive to-day. We understand, however, that though a very large amount of bills (this being the 4th of the month) arrived at maturity, still, comparatively speaking, but few were dishonoured. The statement put into cir culation by some of our Contemporaries, that the Bank of England have expressed their desire to become bort owers of money at 6 per cent, interest, from the capi talists of the City, rest's only on this fact : A large dis count house in Lombard street, last week, tendered a larger amount of Bills to the Bank for discount than usual, but the whole quantity was taken. The house in question found afterwards that they had a superabundance of money, and offered to take back from the Bank a portion of the bills previously sent in to the Directors, at the rate of 6 per cent., which was agreed to ; out of this simple transaction the assertion was foanded that the Bank of England had become borrowers of money. The result of this day's sale of teas is that nearly 8,000 chests have passed, and at prices from 2d. to 3d. per lb. higher. The demand has been very brisk. The deliveries of tea last week were very nearly 430,0001b5. Money was scarce to-day on the Stock Exchange, nevertheless Consols rose in the afternoon to 904 for the Account, and to 904 for Money. The prices of Exchequer Bills closed heavily at 8 discount, and of India Bonds at 7 discount. East India Stock rose to 2491. The pressure upon the Foreign Stock Market was severe to-day, partly arising out of the sales to balance the accounts of a defaulter, who was announced on Saturday afternoon last. In theafternoon the Bonds rose from 264 to to 274. Portuguese Stock closed extremely heavy at 311 for the Five per Cents., and at 2li for the Three per Cents. The parties who have speculated for a rise in the expectation that the consolidatory plan of B iron Lagos would be adopted, will be heavy losers. Dutch and other Foreign Stocks left off a trifle better than they were in the middleof the day. London and Brighton Railway Shares have fallen this afternoon to 13. dis. ; London and Birmingham to 50 prem ; North Midland to 6 dis.; and Midland Counties to 26 dis. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. (From the Times.) An evening print, now happily the only one whose vile and venal support is systematically hired out to the Whigs, as vile and venal as itself, has been emphati cally branded, not by a Conservative adversary observe, but by a respectable section of the Liberal press, with the stigma of " enormous lying." These, it must be owned, are hard and painful words ; nor would any cultivated person think of applying them even to the most inveterate romancers, and still less to practitioners of merely questionable veracity, except upon such in controvertible evidence as would obviously render the suppression of those terms a substantial injury to the interests of truth and of social life. It does not do to mince matters with characters of a certain stamp. To speak of their deflections in the language of arti ficial civility is virtually an encouragement of their audacity ; and while forbearance, in such circum stances, has a tendency to embolden their villany, with the belief that they have escaped detection, it is apt to produce extensive mischief, by allow ing their impostures to enjoy a successful cur rency among the unwary and less discerning. Never, heretofore, has any newspaper on this side the At lantic pursued such a desperate career of infamy and falsehood as during the last few years has disgraced the journal in question. Its whole establishment, from principal to 'prentice, exhibits a frightful deficiency of the moral sense, compared with which the fabulous frailties of Pinto, Munchausen, and Longbow, are triumphant passports to Heaven. Disperse its types as thoroughly as you please, their alacrity in the service of this lying oracle is such, that at the touch of its com positors' sticks, they almost seem to rush incontinently into endless forms of mendacity. In a word, we may affirm, without exaggeration, that its printing-office has latterly become the principal business-place of the father of lies himself, where that active and accommodating tradesman gives out, that he " executes all sorts of orders with the utmost dispatch ;" that he does so " on the most reasonable terms ;" that by Royal letters, he is " exclusive patentee for modern " Whig inventions ;" and " (N. 8.) has no connexion with any other shop." As a specimen of the transac tions of that noted concern, we give an instance which occurred only on Saturday, in reference to an alleged change of views upon the education question imputed to the Conservatives and the Church. For some time past various unequivocal symptoms have presented them selves to every vigilant observer, that the Whigs finding their utter inability to carry their educational nostrums into operation as these were originally propounded, have been artfully endeavouring so to remould and churchily them, as, while cunningly avoiding any appearance of change, might have the effect of mitigatin g th e h ost ili ty both of the Conservatives and the clergy. Thus the allotment of the Parliamentary grant to the General Assembly, which the Whigs had declared their inten tion of transferring from the Lords of the Treasury to their Privy Council Committee upon Education, has been quietly restored to its primary channel of distribution, leaving the Church of Scotland to apply the money, as she is entitled to do, without the interference of any secular board whatever. Again, their proposed system of inspectorship, which at first exhibited no defined cha racter either as to the religious principles or the specific duties of the agents, has latterly been modified to this extent, that the visiters of such Church of England schools as may receive aid from Government shall, in A menial Ministerial print of Sunday, whose paltri nessis echoed by the servile Ch ron i c l e of yesterday. calls for all manner of vengeance upon certain officers of the army who presumed to attend a Conservative dinner at Ashton, where Mr. John Roby made a speech ex ceedingly uncomplimentary to Ministers. This is the " liberality" of Whigs. We never heard it slid under a Tory Government that officers of the army ought to he cashiered or even censured for Whiggery. One of the officers who attended at Ashton, and the only one who all cases, be members of the national communion. We might enumerate various other petty surrenders of a similar kind, and more must inevitably follow ; but these, as indicating the quarter where such relaxations have begun, are quite sufficient for our present pur pose. The lowered and coaxing tone of Lord John Russell's reply to the Bishop of Exeter, as well as that which the Committee addressed to their phantom Cler gyman, we shall not now insist upon. In connexion with these facts, however, let our readers peruse the following diatribe, which the patentee for Whig inven tions palmed upon his customers on Saturday. Ap prehensive that the changes contemplated at head quarters, no matter whether simulated or substantial, must bring additional public scandal upon the systematic vacillations of his employers, he resorts to the subjoined artifice, for the twofold purpose—first, of iflsinuating that no such changes either have been, or will be, made by the Whigs ; and, secondly, of charging the Conservative party with a flagrant abandonment of their educational policy : " The Tories have changed their position on the ques tion of national education, abandoning the insoient denial of aid from the Government for the moral and intellectual elevation of those masses of the population who do not join in the worship' of the Church (to quote the Bishop of Exeter's words), and whose ignorance and social degrada. tion is fraught not with shame alone, but with danger to the public We owe the complete evidence of this change in policy to the Right Rev. Prelate of Exeter, to whose ability his party have been before indebted, and perhaps never more than now, in the sagacity which he displays respecting the utter impolicy---nay, the madness— of the attempt to perpetuate a spiritual interdict on the education of those great manufacturing towns which are inhabited by masses of an almost barbarous population, and who are unwilling to receive education in schools where the Catechism and formularies of the Church are used as the means of religious instruction." Then, with the view of giving some colourable plausi bility to this invention, he desires his dupes to under stand, that whereas the Bishop of Exeter acknowledges the propriety of rendering stated reports to Govern. ment upon the efficiency or inefficiency of such Church schools as may be aided thereby (provided the inspec tors be exclusively under the authority of the Church), the Secretary for the National School Committee in sists that the Government shall exercise no inspection whatever over their schools, even though receiving Treasury aid ; and after endeavouring to set this forth as a serious discrepancy between Church authorities, he affects to consider the Bishop as the more enlightened and influential representative of Tory policy ; whence he rushes to his impudent fabrication, that the Tories are changed. That this dishonest juggler should have told the whole, would have done too much violence to his nature : but we shall tell it for him. Between the Bishop and the Secretary there is not the slightest dif ference of opinion upon the subject, only the latter having been betrayed by the Whigs into a belief that their intended inspectors should unalterably be inde pendent of Church control, boldly and justly protests against any such Government inspection at all ; whereas the Learned Prelate, finding that the Whigs had so far abandoned their original ground as to have conceded the Churchmanship of the inspectors, not only expresses no objection to the regular examination of the Church schools, but even indulges a hope that their religious instruction will be subjected to that rigid scrutiny which, could the Secretary be assured it was to be honestly confided to a member of the Establishment, would be as little objected to on his part as on that of the Bishop of Exeter. The only difference between the two authorities is this : his Lordship, in a private correspondence with Lord John Russell, was obliged to avoid the discourtesy of saying that he disbelieved the Whigs ; while the Secretary, on the other hand, is considerably less ceremonious. With re spect to the " enormous lying" which the foregoing ex tract evinces concerning the supposed concession of the Tories about granting education to the manufacturing masses who do not join in the established worship, we have only to observe that the Tories, under Lord Liver pool's Government, were the first to award a Parlia mentary grant for the education of those very masses ; that both Sir Robert Peel and the Bishop of London, who may be supposed to know something of Tory senti ment, have expressly recorded their approbation of that grant being continued, and, if necessary, extended, and that in no respect whatever have the Tories changed their opinions upon this or upon any other branch of the ques tion. Indeed, why should they do so ? The Whigs, to be sure, have a very intelligent reason for making changes—because they cannot work their system with out them. But the Tories, so far from having any induce ment to lower or abandon their demands, are now in a better condition than ever to enforce or even to ex tend tam. The original majority. of Two, whereby the Goverment scheme was sanctioned (comprising Mr. Gibson, of Ipswich, and Mr. Rice, of Cambridge) has since been more than liquidated by the election of Sir Thomas Cochrane and Mr. Manners Sutton. Then, only look at the recent registrations in England and Scotland. Mark withal the Conservative character of the current municipal elections. See the people rallying round the Church in every province of the kingdom. Talk, indeed, of the Tories changing their ground! The Whigs, we trow, have need to change their jour neymen. Once for all, we tell this loose deputy of theirs, that their future shutilings upon the education question will afford sharper occupation to his unprin cipled pen than even those which have already fatigued his frailty. (From the Morning Advertiser.) Who is Mr. Bradshaw ?—This is a question which is in every body's mouth. Had the question been put to us eight days ago we must admit we could not have answered it. His treasonable speech at Canterbury has, however, rescued him from the obscurity in which he had vegetated from his infancy upwards. Will it be believed that this traducer of his Sovereign, though his name 'never before greeted the public ear, nor met the public eye, has been for some time the Member for Canterbury, and in that capacity has, for several Ses sions, taken his nightly seat in the House of Commons ? It will be asked why, when for seven months in the year he has had an opportunity every five nights out of seven to insult and slander her Majesty in the House of Commons,he should have maintained an unbroken silence in his legislative capacity, and then have burst forth so suddenly as an orator, and bawled so lustily in the head inn of Canterbury ? The solution of the problem we take to be this,—that not possessing a particle of talent whereby he could emerge from the utter obscurity to which we have referred, he determined on purchasing notoriety at any price ; and as he knew of no means which promised to answer his purpose so effectually as indecently assailing the character of the Queen, both in her private and public capacity, he determined on making the disgraceful exhibition with which he elec trified the Tory parsons and Tory gentlemen of Can terbury on Friday week. The event has justified his expectations in so far as the mere matter of notoriety is eoncerned. He has had that commodity to his heart's content ; he has been talked of, and more written about, for the last week, than any other man of the present day. If this be not notoriety, we should like to know what is ? So eminently successful, indeed, has Mr. Bradshaw's expedient for obtaining notoriety proved, that a host of other Conservatives are already having re course to it. There seems to be a regular competition among them as to who shall most grossly insult their Sovereign—not merely in her monarchical capacity, but in her capacity as a, private individual ; aye, and more unmanly still—as a female, and an unmarried woman too. That there should he persons, moving in a respectable sphere of society, and wearing decent coats on their backs, who could be so lost to all sense of de cency and self-respect as thus to libel a youthful Queen, may well excite our surprise and indignation ; but that such persons should not only be heard by large promis cuous assemblages of individuals, calling themselves gen tlemen, without any manifestation of dissent, but should be greeted ;with " tremendous cheers," " deafening ap plause," and " loud and long continued plaudits," is a fact which ought to make us blush and hang our heads to think that we are Englishmen. And }et these same Tories used to represent themselves as the only loyal persons in the land. But a few years have elapsed since they deafened the ears of the nation with their protes tations of readiness to sacrifice their "lives and for tunes," in the ardour of their attachment to their Sove reign. So profuse, indeed, were these very persons in their professions of loyalty, that they used to be nicknamed " the life and fortune men." How great the change which their views and feelings have, in this respect, undergone of late ! What can be the cause of so " radical" a revolution ? Is it that the present Sovereign is less worthy of their regards than the Sovereign that preceded her? They can scarcely expect to deceive the public by any such representa tions, inasmuch as they have not practised any such de ception on themselves. They know, in their hearts, that a Monarch more worthy of their homage never sat on the English throne. The secret of their rank disloyalty is to be found in the fact that she not only . professes, but actually entertains liberal principles, and is prepared to make personal sacrifices for their maintenance. Her memorable and spirited resistance to the efforts made by Si r Robert Peel to thrust a Tory Ministry on the country, will never be fargottdp or forgiven by the Con servative faction. But the are en their hate to the Queen, Their calumnies, menaces, insult s, and treason, will onl y re' overshooting in te bitterness the mark. of have the effect of rallying all the better portion of her subjects more closely around her throne. We see a cheering earnest of this in the meeting appointed to take place at Canterbury to-day, in order to express the opinion of the inhabitants respecting the insult offered to her Majesty last week, by the Tory parsons and Tory gentry of Kent. To the speeches at this meeting we will probably have occasion to refer to-morrow. (From the Morning Post.) EVENING EDITION. spoke at the meeting, is a Member of Parliament ; and since it is allowed by law that a military officer may represent the people in the House of Commons, it must be in the contemplation of law that military officers are free t o h o ld an d to express i n d epen d e nt political opinions. At th e A s ht on di nner th e Government was veryindignantly s p o k en ' o f b y M r . R o by, but no disre respect was shown to the Crown. We by no means de sire that military men s h ou ld inter f ere i n po litics as military men ; but the fact of a man holding the Queen's commission does not obliterate his rights and duties as a member of civil society. Officers of the army hate no right to talk politics to their men ; but to assa.rt or in =nate that they arc not at liberty to go to a du:ner, and to sit there while speeches are made that find taxi: with the Government, is a piece of tyrannous imperti nence well worthy of the Sunday hack of Whitehal place, and offensive to all just sense of British liberty. (From the Morning Chronicle.) It is intended, we understand, to make this day of annual thanksgiving for national deliverance an occasion for desecrating sundry churches, both in London and the country, by denunciations against our Roman Ca tholic countrymen, like those recently fulminated at Manchester and Liverpool, and very often in Exeter- Hall. With the theological condemnation of Papists we have no purpose to interfere. According to our no tions of toleration, men have a right to believe, and to preach, if it seem good to them, the eternal destruction of their neighbours. Whether it be wise in a State to pay some ten or twelve thousand preachers to tell some eight or ten millions of people that their faith is a rcuteis a damnable one, is a question that may, perhaps, come to be mooted, if the firebrand faction in the Church do not " please too moderate the ran cour of their tongues." If there be any peril in prospect to the Protestant Establishment, it is in the reaction which their unbridled zeal may eventually pro duce. But whether their intolerant dogmatising com port with the creeds of the Church of England is a matter for settlement between them and their ecclesias tical superiors ; and there we leave it. What we con demn is not their disposal of the souls, but their attacks on the civil rights of the Roman Catholics. The suc cessors of St. Peter only claim the keys of heaven and hell ; but the Saint Stowells and O'Sullivans, and their clerical coadjutors, claim in addition the keys of the Treasury and public offices. They vilify the Constitution of their country, of which the Catholic Emancipation Act is now as integral a portion as the Bill of Rights. They strive to preach down all respect for the law. ofex iTheysatesneacriefm, in a na society,dt ro reducing bbin b g ec a theiru himse ilea neighbour gaadinherteos o t f toh h et :: eco p fla o ldi l t i ih t t i i c oo a nf l his ancestors. Their " holy war" is against peace and justice ; their mission the revival of the odium theologi cum, with all its baleful influences. Their anti-Papis tical notions are animated by an anti-social spirit. Their Gospel is an anathema against the kindly charities that render pleasant the life of men, and the equal civil rights that crown it with dignity. And what an occasion have they chosen for their indecent and intolerant exhi bitions ! In the deliverances which the Church comme moratos this day : the plot, in one case, and the tyrant in the other, were Popish. But history has been strangely falsified if; even in those times, there was any essential or exclusive connection between Popery and ferocious plots or arbitrary power. In our own days the notion of such connection is something worse than an egragious absurdity—it is a wicked calumny. Why, then, can we not thank God without hating our neigh b. bur ? Wi - y not rejo . c; in having been rescued from Catholic arbitrary power, without denouncing the ex istence of Catho;c civil liberty ? Why not commemo rate the defeat of ono sedition without stirring up another sedition ? The triumph over intolerance must be capa ble of many better mode.; of celebration than by the immolation of Christian Ch,:rity. Were the Queen to act upon the advice given her by the Bishop of Londoa, in his sermon at the coronation, and imitate her Royal predecessor Elizabeth, she would speedily. silence this politico-theological fanaticism, by a " Sir Priest, I will sleevesth? this unfrock you," even though the frock,,,,l;ardeos. lawn. The circumstance which chid) anti-Christian and anti-legal abusiveness frt .tn contempt, is the implied sanction, by his silence, ex pected Tory Premier. Through him, intoler...ince as pires to become the law of the land and the spirit of G . o vernmeet. He is reckoned upon as capable of p a y in g for fanatical support by a new Catholic proscription. His repentance of the one liberal act of his life is pub licly vouched far and his silence seals the bargain. Whether it be the silence of simple shuffling between the opposite sections of a party—of predetermined treachery to the supporters thus purchased—or a con version to hostility against the liberties of Ireland so bitter that it will brave the civil war front which once it flinched—is a secret of which we may be content to die in ignorance, if it can only be revealed by the calamity of a Tory restoration. For the present, Sir Robert Peel, allows himself to be regarded as the head of those who threaten Ireland with infinitely more bloodshedding than that of Rathcormac ; and of those who threaten Queen 'Victoria with the fate of James 11. or Charles I. NATIONAL EDUCATION. (From Woohner's Exeter Gazette) We are authorised to say that the s atement which has appeared in some papers that the Bishop of this diocese has declared his assent to the pri.9et ple of the Government scheme of education, is en tirely without foundation. The letter of his Lord ship to Lord John Russell, from which this change of opinion is said to have been inferred, seems ra ther to have been prompted by a hope that the Noble Lord to whom it was addressed had altered his views on the subject, agreeably to the tenor of his letter of the 16th. At any rate, that Lord John Russell himself did not understand the Bishop's letter in the manner in which some others have af fected to understand it, is plain from the following answer to it, which we are permitted to publish, as a part of the correspondence which cannot now be properly withholden : " Buckhurst, Oct. 18, 1839. "My Lord,—l confess lam not sanguine as to the result of any conference between the BishoFs and the Committee of the Privy Council on Edu cation. Ido not, however, wish now to discuss the principle laid down by your Lordship, that the Church is the fit guardian and administratrix of National Education.' I can only say that I have no objection to the publication of the correspon dence between your Lordship and myself. I should, in any case, have thought it right to communicate it to the Lord President, the Lord Privy Seal, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Labouchere, Loid Monteagle, and Sir George Grey, who at present form the Committee of Privy Colwell for Education. " I have the honour to be, " Your Lordship's obedient humble servant, " J. RUSSELL." THE ASHTON-UNDER-LYNE TORIES. The loyal beef-eating Conservatives of this place suffered " a heavy blow and great discouragement" on Wednesday last. That was the day fixed for the annual dinner of the Conservative Association ; and the walls of Ashton, and all the neighbouring places, had, for a week past, been covered with large blue bills, announcing that that venerable and consistent advocate of the rights of the people, Sir Francis Burdett, had honoured the society by ac cepting their invitation to dine with them. The day came, the tables were spread, there was an overflowing attendance in consequence of the clap trap placards ; in short, every body who was ex pected came, and some sco s r i e t s m m ore p , a b n u e t n.t Sir F e : p a c t: l ite .
