While we agree with the Times and Mr. D'lsan Eel, that inquiry into the causes of the present condition of the people should precede new Legislation, lest perchance we should add by our remedies to the intensity of the disorder, we are not disposed to agree with that Journal in ascribing our social disease to .‘ the language of the Minis ters and their adherents." Neither do we think the conduct of the Ministers, except as they have too readily imitated the Tories, can be charged with hav ing brought it about. What share have they had in reducing the people to poverty and starvation ? They are not the authors of the Corn-laws. They cannot, unfortunately, boast of having much con tributed to political knowledge, and thus of making the people sensible of the defects of our institutions. They are not the authors of those institutions, nor of the faculty of discriminating good from evil, which compels the people through their sufferings to con demn the laws. They did not in any way stimulate or promote that vile selfishness in the priesthood, which has made them pervert religion into an art for emptying other people's pockets and filling their own, and has deprived them of all influence over the multitude. The Ministers had little or no part in that long series of insolent, offensive, and wicked legislation which has deprived the Legislature of the respect once more deservedly borne to it than now. They have but adopted the Tory prin ciples in proposing to put down political opi nions, which are new and strange, by force. The principle of governing by terror is To ryism, and from the Tories the . Chartists have adopted it as well as the Whigs. The Ministers have had no part in spreading abroad the inflamma tory opinions of the Press, and are pefectly guilt less of bringing about those events on the Conti , nent which kindled anew i n B r i ta i n t h e a l most ex ' tinguished desire for political improvement. They must be exculpated from the charges of having caused the evils under which the working classes labour, or of having taught them to look for a re medy by violently overturning the Constitution. The present disposition of the masses is not caused by the Ministers, and the Ministers cannot cure it. • This is not a mere barren speculative truth, but of practical importance. The disposition com plained of in the people has grown up in spite of the IVlinisters, in spite of the Opposition, in spite of the middle classes, and in spite of the laws. It is 3 directly contrary to that quiet, peaceable, humble, subservient demeanour which all these have for their ,I object to incul ca t e . It i s on l y cause d i n di rect l y by I the laws, and is the very reverse of what the lawmaker desires to effect. He must not look, therefore, for the rule of his present con duct in previous statutes, or trust any longer to his favourite political theories. He must look to the principles of human nature as de veloped in th e p resent procee di ngs o f t h e 1 I masses, as well as indicated in past time, for advice. The existing results—the absence of tranquillity—the general feeling of alarm— the felt necessity of strong coercive measures—the announcement in the House of Commons that civil war has been declared—the uncertainty that even the costly and liberticide measures proposed will answer the immediate object—the threatened re sistance, all show that the political experiments both of Whigs and Tories have failed, and that to obtain different results our statesmen must try new combinations. It was not by continually repeating the same experiment, with an ever mocking result, that Sir .H UMPHREY DA VY made his chemical discoveries. And if our politicians, instead of precipitating pure gold, can produce nothing, by continually mingling aristocratic op pression and democratic suffering, but an explosive powder, which has already done much mischief, and cannot be handled without the greatest danger, they must now vary their experiments. They have tried taxes and the bayonet long enough—long enough have they tried police and gibbets ; let them now bethink themselves of other elements of governing mankind. SYDNEY SMITH once re commended naturalists —apropos of the extraordi nary Continent of New Holland—to hold their theories at single anchor ; and the present condi tion of the working classes, both moral and physi cal, being totally different from that our theoreti cal legislators have sought to bring about, indicates that they ought at once to slip from their favourite nostrums. The Dublin Evening Mail, the Earl of RODEN'S own peculiar organ, the instrument of his counsels and echo of his thoughts and wishes, began last Monday to publish the evidence taken before the Committee of the Lords on the state of Ireland, of which it still claims the exclusive possession. The Editor vaunts his great continence and self-command, inspired by respect for their Lordships, in having, as he alleges, " so long withheld the publication of this evidence, which had been, as many of our private friends are aware, transmitted to us by our London Correspondent from day to day, throughout the whole of the protracted investigatiwi." This is a frank confession, and would form a very proper subject of inquiry before the House of Lords. That Select Committee resolved, at the commence ment of its proceedings, by an unanimous vote, that the Minutes of Evidence should be kept strictly private ; and the following caution upon the subject printed on the cover of each day's printed_ pro- ccedings Great inconvenience having arisen from the publicatio n of Minutes of Evidence taken befor Committees, and of Papers, Sze. laid before them it is particul ar l y requested that Peers receiving such minutes and papers will be careful that they are confined to the objects for which they are printed, them special use of t h e L ords appointed on such ttees. ) It may, no doubt, have appeared spe c i a ll y useful to more than one of th e L or d s appointed upon that Committee, that its Mi nutes should be i placed, as fast as they came out of th e press, in the hands of an Irish Tory Editor, and t h at many of his private i friends should he aware of th e i r cont ents. That Editor is a great public fun c ti onary ; his office the resort of the leading political c h aracters of hisls party, not excluding an important portion of those personages, who were summoned to enlighten the Select Committee on the multifarious subjects sub mitted to its consideration ; and we c an we ll under stand how subservient it might be rendered to the " objects" in view, to have a cramming repository in Dublin, where information could be had as to the c ourse o f exam i na ti on a nd cross-examination pursued by that tribunal ; the various topics intro duced to its high consideration ; the degree of favour with w hi c h t h ey were severa ll y receive d, an d the points on w hi c h i t wou ld b e h ove w i tnesses , w h o wished well to the cause, to make themselves up for the sp ec i a l use of Lords appointed on such Committee." it is not difficult, therefore, to sur mise, why the rule was departed from, so far as to allow of the Minutes of the evidence being trans mitted from day to day, through the medium of a London Correspondent, to the Dublin Evening Mail. But we must admire the rigour with which the Committee questioned Mr. DRUMMOND upon this very point. He had necessarily been put in pos session of the evidence of the witnesses who pre ceded him, having been brought forward in defence of the Government, to explain or rebut their state ments ; and their Lordships took him to task with the most inflexible gravity, to ascertain whether any eye, save his own, had been suffered to pene trate the awful secrecy of their proceedings. There is an appearance of what is vulgarly called solemn humbug in this strictness, when one, at least, of their Lordships, must have been conscious that the rule had been systematically and regularly violated, for the purpose of giving an undue advantage to the enemies of the Government. Mr. DRUMMOND did scrupulously attend to the rule ; but the evi dence was, from the very commencement of the in vestigation, placed by some Member or Members of the Committee, at the disposal of the Editor of the Evening Mail, and many of his private friends, who would have been great fools indeed if they had not used it—as we have no doubt they did use it—. for the purposes of their faction. The same Journal complains that the Committee has merely printed the evidence, without pronoun cing judgment upon its substance. " This is the more to be regretted"—it is added—" because it is known that their Lordships had reduced their opinions to the shape of a formal Report, the heads of which are in our possession, and up to a late period on Friday were prepared to lay it laefore the House." Of the truth of this intelligence we believe there is no doubt. As Lord RODEN'S Journal thinks fit to broach it, we feel at perfect liberty to attest the statement ; and, indeed, the Noble Lord him self, in his late address to the Orangemen against processions, exulting in the great and triumphant labours of the Committee, had prepared the public for a very solemn and imposing enunciation. Why then was it held back ? The Evening Maii declares that the heads of the intended Re port are in its pcssession, and it might have added, probably, that they were in its possession long before the whole body of evidence on which it professed to give a deliberate judgment could have reached the City of Dublin, nay before it could have been placed in an authentic form before the Members of the Comm tee itself. Why then did their Lordships, having. jumped so eagerly to a conclusion, " pull in reso lution" at the last moment, and send out the evi dence without any expression of opinion at all ? It cannot be that the original proposition was negatived upon a division of the Committee, for the Tory Members were something in the propor tion of four to one ! and they were unanimous, we believe, throughout the whole proceedings, and upon every question that came before them. Unless, then, they found reason to alter their opinion, in the evidence which they had not taken into considera tion when the heads of that intended formal Repoi t were framed, or that they were made ashamed of the precipitation and manifest injustice of having agreed to a verdict, while the proceeding was still coram judice, and, therefore, for the sake of their own characters were glad to throw a veil over the whole affair, we are utterly at a loss to account for the change which came over their spirit in extremis. Small cause have they to thank their friend in the Evening Mail for bringing this portion of their secret and mysterious course before the public. But the country will not regret it ; as it affords an apt illustration of the peculiar notions entertained by their Lordships upon a subject which has been se lected by one of their number for speedy discussion —we mean the administration of justice. " Gnossius hmc Rhadamanthus habet durissima regna ; Castigatque, auditque dolos." We insert elsewhere a correspondence on the coal combination, which well deserves attention. It is gratifying to find that a gentleman who has been intimately connected with the trade in almost every capacity for the last 40 years, agrees with the LORD MAYOR on the main points for which his Lordship has now been contending for eight months. He is of opinion that the combination is injurious to the pit owners as well as the consumers, that the exer tions of the LORD MAYOR are the best calculated to bring about a great object of human happiness and comfort—the supply of cheap and good coal to the vast population of the metropolis ; and that the breaking up of the monopoly would not in the slightest degree injure what has been improperly called the great nursery for British seamen. On some items of calculation they differ, but the cir cumstance that his Lordship has lately directed his attention most minutely to the subject, and his cor respondent professes no knowledge on some of the ' most important details, can leave no doubt which authority carries the greatest weight. It will be seen from the answer of the LORD MAYOR that the Act prohibiting inland coals from being brought within a certain distance of London has been repealed. There is another point of his Lordship's letter to which we call the attention of all those who are opposed to this starvation monopoly, and who would consult the interests of the poor as well as their own " With regard to the uncertainty of the winter, his Lordship admits there is much to fear. The pub lic have not laid in their usual stock of coals, and he expects, when the winter approaches, and it is found that the supply has been purposely kept back, that the price of coals will be very much higher than at present." The remedy is simple. Let all, who can, lay in a supply in time, break the back of the monopoly by the 9th of November, and afford the Chief Magistrate, on resigning his office, the only return for his exertions he requires—the prospect of a cheap supply of one of the great necessaries of life to the thousands struggling against poverty and starvation in the depth of winter. If they do this, the combination is at an end, and there is one great monopolist who will be I forced to admit that the LORD MAYOR of London ' knew more about the matter than the chamber maids and the Marquis of LONDONDERRY. The affairs of Hanover assume daily a more important aspect, and we therefore lay before our readers the representation of the Magistracy of the city of Hanover to the Germanic Diet, on which all the recent events hinge. If we wished to find fault with it, we should say that it expresses far too much respectful confidence in Prince ERNEST, and is altogether too submissive. Yet this very document—humble though it be—is laid hold of by him and his Ministers, to encroach still more on the privileges of the people, by suspending the Chief Magistrate of the city of Hanover, contrary to law, and threatening him and all the others who signed the remonstrance, with judicial proceedings. The citizens did not remain quiet under this violent infringement of their privileges—they assembled around the Palace, as we have before mentioned, and at the same time sent a deputation to Prince ERNEST, demanding that, in compliance with the rights of the citizens, Syndic EVERS should take the Stadt-Director's place for the pre sent. It was stated that Prince ERNEST, hearing from his man SCIIEL E that such an arrangement was according to law, appeared to agree to this, and the citizens, content with even so small a concession to their rights, peaceably sepa rated. We learn, however, from the Hamburg Papers, that M. HEILIGER, the person in the first instance nominated to fill M. Rum!An's place, arrived in haste on the evening of the 17th, and the next morning took the chair at the Rathhaus or Town Hall. Such an additional example of deceit added to previous tyranny, served to exasperate the citizens ; popular tumults f o ll owe d , blood is said to have been shed, and it is difficult to say what may be the ultimate result. Might before Right is the practice if not the theory of Monarchs, or else we should have no doubt of the result, for never were the rights of a patient, loyal, and well disposed people more rudely, and with less provo cation, assaulted, than Prince ERNEST has assault ed the rights of the Hanoverians. Hitherto they have never swerved from their loyalty ; they have done all, nay more than we should have deemed necessary, to obtain in peace, the restoration of their rights,—rights about which there seems to be but one voice in the country ; and now all their patience and forbearance hav e only served to provoke their ruler to further and more unwarrantable tyranny. We shall see whether they will tamely submit to be slaves, or make one vigorous united effort to assert and maintain those rights. W e are grieved to learn that individuals were found foolish enough to as sault the cavalry by throwing stones, &c. This is THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, JULY 29, 1839 not the way to impress Prince ERNEST and his men SCHELE and LEIST with respect for the people. They find in such an outbreak, however natural and excusable it may be in a case like that of the Hanoverians, only a handle for further oppression. We hope and trust that the friends and leaders of the people in Hanover will impress the masses with the urgent necessity for abstaining from any such petty de monstrations of their wrath, and teach them to bend all their energies towards one point, namely, successfully to relieve themselves and the country at large from an incubus, which, if not thrown off, threatens to crush all their energies, to undermine their virtues, to lower them in their own esteem, and deprive them of the respect of other nations. LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.) There is no domestic news of any moment in the French journals received this morning. The anniver sary of the first of the three" glorious days " passed off very peaceably. Masses were celebrated in all the churches for the repose of the souls of the heroes, who perished on that memorable occasion. The Chamber of Deputies sat on Friday to receive and discuss peii tions. One for an amnesty for all political offences was rejected with strong expressions of disgust by the Keeper of the Seals. MoNerE VIDEO, MAY 15 —We are on the eve of a re volution. The troops of Buencs Ayres had made a hostile demonstration against Monte Video, and have invaded the Oriental territory. Whatever may happen the French are looked upon with an evil eye, both here and at Buenos Ayres by the two parties. We hear a great deal of an ex • pected French expedition. When will it. arrive ? The Memorial des Pyrenees,of the 23d,publishes some ac counts from the head-quarters of Don Carlos. Some time ago the Memorial Bordelais published the basis of an ar rangement said to have been sent by England to M. Perez de Castro, and to have been immediately communicated by him to Espartero. The Madrid Gazette of the 18th contra dicts this statement in every particular ; but, notwithstanding this official contradiction, our letters inform us that Maroto has just proposed to the Pretender to give his consent to a measure of this nature. Though Don Carlos and the Queen's Government may now refuse, such an a-range ment must be made sooner or later; it is the only way to effect peace.— Constitutionnel BOURSE.—PARIS, SATURDAY, JULY 27.

Seyssel (A) -.2050 We beg attention to the following paragraphs : CHARTISTS AT DALSTON.--The Chartists in this popu lous village, as in most other places, show a front which it is necessary for men of property to notice, and conse quently upwards of one hundred and fifty special constables were sworn in, and other defensive regulations adopted to meet any danger or emergency from a breach of the pence.—Carlisle Patriot. STATE OF CARLISLE.—This city has remained per fectly tranquil since our last. About 900 special constables have now been sworn in, and divided into districts and sections, having a constable appointed to summon each section in case of necessity. Most part of the sections have met in the course of the week, to consider a question submitted to them by the Magistrates—whether the esta blishment of a watch and ward be at present necessary ? The question has almost unanimously been decided in the negative.— Carlisle Journal. We have been asked, in consequence of the few re marks we have made on the measure for establishing a police in Birmingham, what we would do to repress disorders ? These paragraphs answer for us. The men of property associate t o d e f end property ; they are sworn in as special constables ; and by so doing bear the burden and the expense o f t h e i r own d e f ence. Under the present circumstan ces of the country this is both just and wise. The contest going on is avowedly between capital and labour—between what is called property, which, unhappily, to the con f us i on o f a ll mora l ideas, includes the tax levied on the people's bread, and the courtezan's pension, as well as the fish caught and appropriated by braving the danger and toils of a deep sea fisher's life,—and industry ; and in that contest property may we ll come o ff victorious if it be allowed to levy the charge of defend ing it on those who have only their labour to live on. Instead of forming a police, and consta b u l ary i n a h asty manner, which will be paid for by the taxes levied on industry, as well as those levied on property, it is more consistent with honesty to call on the men of property to turn out as special constables in its defence. If party spirit runs so high in Birmingham, that the Tories are ready to arm themselves against the Whigs, and the Whigs are anxious to have an army of their own to defend themselves against the Tories, instead of defending property against the Chartists— if that town is already in a condition bordering on that of an Irish town, and if the factions would rather see anarchy than act cordially together, the way to preserve the peace is to quarter a regiment or two of dragoons on the gentlemen for their immediate pro tection, and, when there is time for deliberation, to re place them by a police force which may command the confidence of all parties. At any rate those who have only their labour to live on will feel themselves addi tionally and justly aggrieved sh o uld they be mad e t o bear th e smallest part of the increased burden of de fending that property—the Corn-law tax for example— which they say is already a curse to them. RIOT ON THE MANCHESTER AND LEEDS RAILWAY.—One of those desperate affrays which have so often occurred on railways, between English and Irish la bourers, on the subject of wages, took place on Monday morning last, at Hehden Bridge, near Todmorden, on the line of the Manchester and Leeds Rall,vay. About one hundred of the English labourers commenced an attack upon about the same number of Irishmen, for the purpose of driving the latter from their employment, on the allured ground that they were working for lower wages. The contest raged fiercely the whole of the day, and many on both sides were seriously injured. One Englishman was struck on the top of the nose with a pick, with so much violence, that it almost cut Off that portion of his face. The authorities of the neighbourhood assembled together, and promptly procured the assistance of the military ; and by this - means the disturbances were sup pressed. On Tuesday morning, however, the belligerent parties recommenced" the contest in increased numbers, drawn from distant parts of the railway; but another de tachment of military from Todmorden hastened to the spot, and, by their timely interference, order was again restored. On Wednesday all was perfectly peaceable. These alarming infraction; of the peace exhibit, in a strik ing mann er , t h e propr i ety of esta bli s hi ng an effective police along all extensive railways.—Manchester Guardian. RAILWAY COMPENSATION.—In the Sheriff's Court on Thursday morning an action was brought by a person named Evans and another against the Commercial Railway Company, for damage done to their premises i n Rosemary-l ane , an d a verd i ct f or t h e plaintiffs of 8301. was returned by the jury. In another action, brought by John son and another, against the same Company, for damage done to their premises in Little Anne-street, a verdict of 4151. I3s. was obtained ; and in a third action, brought by Carter and another, a verdict was given for 3801. for the injury done to their premises in Philip-street. The verdicts Acre all given by consent of the defendants. THE DRAIN FOR GOLD.—In congratulati ng ourselves upon the grow i ng i nterest w hi c h i s manifested by' all classes for the repeal of the Corn-laws, we will not dis guise the belief that the bitter fruitsof our absurd and mis chievous legislation, which the large body of merchants, manufacturers, and capitalists are now reaping in a mone. tary crisis which is trying the strength of every mercantile man, has done more to awaken the attention of these classes, and to precipitate reflection upon the working of the Corn-laws, than could be possibly hoped for from any efforts of ours in the absence of such stimuli.—A n ti. Corn-law Circular, IMPORTANCE OF A C OM MA.—A very lo ve l y girl, named Smith, .h ung herself at D ayton , Ohi o, when lwr parents were ahse-t. f. cm holm.; oi; returnia g thy found her dead. The Cincinnati Republican says," she was found, strangled by her father and mother." piece of intelligence has made, as it cannot be known whether such a defection may not be followed brothers, and the Porte remain wholly defenceless. The only thing that keeps up its courage is that Hafiz Pacha, who has been invited by the Capitan Pacha to follow his ex ample, has positively refused to do so. The Divan is almost constantly sitting, and it has resolved t )-day to send an Agent to the Capitan Pacha, in order to give him the minutest details of the decease of the Sultan, with the assurance that he died a natural death, and then call on him to return to his duty. On the other hand, Lord Ponsonby has sent an express to Captain Walker ordering him to leave the Turkish fleet, in case the Capitan Pacha should persist in his treasonable purposes. Besides this, a Plenipotentiary itas been sent to Alexan dria with proposals of peace to Mehemet Ali. It is not known yet whether the army of Hafiz Pacha was pursued beyond the frontiers of Syria, or whether the French Captain Caille arrived at Ibrahim Pacha's head-quarters in time to restrain him from it. The events seem to show that he had not arrived before the 24th of June. FRONTIERS OF SERYIA, JULY 11.---Accounts from Salonica say that strong works are erecting to defend that towu on the sea-side, and are mounted with cannon. It seems as if an attack by the Egyptians were feared, in order to act in concert with the ill designs in Albania and Mace. donia, an apprehension which does not appear to be un reasonable, in case the war in Syria should assume a serious aspect. The conscription is carried on in Macedonia with great strictness. All the young men above fifteen years or age are incorporated in the militia, and in the country all between fifteen and thirty-five years of age are taken for the army. The number of the young men so col lected together is, however, much reduced by desertion into the mountains, from which the fugitives threaten public security. Mustapha Pacha has collected a pretty considerable number of Albanians at Salonica to keep them at a distance from their own country, which is the chill source of disorder, as they cannot be wholly relied upon. But they already begin to murmur and threaten vio lence so that the first explosion ofdiscontent may perhaps he at Salonica. The Greek Church there is continually at variance with the Turkish authority. He has lately gone on a tour for his pleasure, to which the Turks ascribe some hostile project to their disadvantage, because they say they have observed that h e h as a constant intercourse with persons who are susp ecte d of being emissaries of Mehemet Ali. —Allgerneine Z e i tung, July 25. I❑ another part of The Sun will be found some suggestions for improving our present very imper fect system of currency, which deserve the attention of the Government and the Directors of the Bank of England. Our intelligent correspondent pro poses the admission of silver, under certain regula tions, as a legal tender, in order to widen the basis of our metallic circulation, and thus enable the Bank to supply itself with the precious metals without having recourse to those ex pedients for procuring gold to which, under the existing system, it is compelled to resort, and which are attended with consequences so ruinous to the commercial interests of the country. It is obvious that something must be done, and that speedily, to remedy the evils arising from a too contracted standard, for as the products of industry are, from various causes, increasing rapidly, and the supply Gf gold is not increasing at all, those evils must be come more and inure formidable every day. The critical state of affairs ia the East has created an extraordinary sensation in Paris. No other subject ' is talked of in that capital ; and, to add to the general perplexity, the most contradictory rumours are in circu lation respecting the occurrences reported to have taken place in Constantinople. Even the " three glorious days" have been all but overlooked by politicians, intent only on the solution of the question of the integrity of the Ottoman Empire. In our Evening- Edition of The Sun of Saturday, we published the telegraphic dispatch which appeared in Friday's 411oniteur, an nouncing the betrayal of the Turkish fleet to MEHEMET Au by the Capitan Pacha. We have since received, with the remainder of Friday's Papers, the whole of the Paris Journals of Saturday, but we are sorry to say that the information they bring consists of rumours which, for the most part, need authentication. The Journal des Debats has the following correspondence from the East : PERA, JULY 7.—The Turkish Fleet, which left the Dar danelles on the sth, was divided into two squadrons, com posed of eight ships of the line, twelve frigates, five cor vettes, four brigs, two schooners, one cutter, and five steamers. It is stated that some serious troubles have taken place at Constantinople ; the old Turks, the Janis saries who escaped from the massacre, and the enemies of European reform, believed that the death of Mahmoud was the signal of a.letutit to ancient ideas, but their ene mies, the advisers (if young Sultan, have been too strong for them. ThevAtave been numerous executions at Constantinople, Smyr!se,.and other towns of the empire. Juel B.—The accounts to-day are favourable to the maintenance of peace. It is said that the Government, without doubt terrified at the movements in Constantinople and other places, has recalled its army to the interior of the empire, and sent a vessa tv order the return of the fleet to the Dardanelles. The Russians have not yet appeared in the Bosphorus. The Semaphore of 11Jarseilles of the 23d instant, publishes the following letter from Constantinople, dated the Bth instant, being but one day later than the letters received in London on Friday night : The Semaphore of the 23d instant gives the following of the Bth from the Turkish capital:—'` It has been at firmed that an extensive conspiracy has been discoved_ that Sultan Mabmoud fell a victim to poison, and that a faction formed in the harem intended, with the assis. sistance of some of the ministers, to place his youngest son, Abdul Hamid, on the throne. Some have asserted that Riza Bey has been strangled, Bekim Bachi exiled, and several ladies of the harem drowned. Mahmoud, it is maintained positively, died on the 28th of June, and was embalmed, but the Divan did not venture to publish the event till the succession was secure. These rumours, however, have fallen into discredit. Although public tranquillity has not been disturbed, some dissatisfied per sons hoped to restore a popular despotism, and manifested a desire to re-establish the old order of things, investing themselves with a costume which betrayed their intentions, but banishment and strangling have extinguished these sparks of revolution. All this has taken place with out any disturbance, and almost without being known to the public. Some troops, destined to reinforce the army of Hafiz Pacha, have been detained here, and we have also, at the head of a corps of 2,000 men, Hussein Pacha, the great agent in the abo lition of the Janissaries. We shall shortly have 10,000 men, who, added to the ordinary garrison of the capital, will be sufficient to keep the - mutineers in subjection. The young Sultan, though labouring to preserve the reforms ' made by his father, appears to be inclined to respect an cient customs, and thereby secure the affections of the people." Another letter states that the Prince de Join ville was on board the Pepin steamer, when it ran up to Constantinople from the Dardanelles. In commenting upon this intelligence, some of the Paris journals suggest that France and England ought to unite to place Mehemet Ali On the Ottoman throne, as the only sure means of maintaining the integrity of the English empire, and frustrating the designs of Rus sia. Such a proposal is not likely to meet with the attention it really deserves ; for after all it is the integrity of Turkey, not the support of an enfeebled dynasty that mainly interests Western Europe. The following extracts from the Augsburg Gazette supply the latest accounts from the East, published in the German Journals received last night and this morn ing. It will be observed that they they as conflicting as the intelligence communicated by the French Journals:— VIENNA, JULY 19.—News from Constantinople of the Bth of July has just been received here by express, that the Turkish fleet had sailed from the Dardanelles. Shortly afterwards it had a dreadful conflict with the Egyptian fleet, by which it was totally destroyed. VIENNA, JULY I9.—(From another Correspondent).— A letter of the Bth from Constantinople has just brought the following intelligencq :—The Capitan Pacha has sailed with the whole Turkish fleet, contrary to the orders of his Government, to offer his services to Mehemet Ali, and then, with the Egyptian and Turkish fleets united, to return to Constantinople, and overthrow the new Ministry, which is composed of his adversaries. News has just been received from Syria that the Turkish army, before it could receive orders to suspend all hostilities, had attacked Ibrahim Pacha, and been totally defeated. Tranquillity, however, prevailed at Constantinople. AUGSBURG, JULY 23.—8 y the Vienna mail to-day, we have received a letter of the Bth, direct from Constanti nople, which confirms the contents of the second letter in our yesterday's Number, viz., the treachery of the Turkish Admiral, and the defeat of the Ottoman army on the Euphrates. The manner in which the revolt of the Capitan Pacha seems to have been more than suffered and almost openly favoured by the French squadron, is worthy of notice in regard to the position of the Powers for and against Mehemet Ali. The letters do not clearly point out the day on which the battle took place, but it must have been on the 21st or 24th of June. We may expect to-morrow news from Alexandria, brought by the last steam-boat to Trieste, which will doubtless bring parti. culars. AUGSBURG, JULY 24.—The defeat of the Turkish army by that of Ibrahim Pacha, which was only half as numerous, is confirmed from all quarters. Nisid is on the right bank of the Euphrates, two leagues from Bir. According to the accounts brought by steam-boat to Trieste, the Turks fled with such precipitation that their whole ramp, arms, lug gage, camels, coffers, &c. fell into the hands of Ibrahim, who wrote the account of his victory in the tent of Ha6z Pacha. The Turks fled to Marasch ; that is not merely over the Euphrates, which is two hundred paces broad at Bir, in the waters of which Ibrahim threatened to drown them, but to the other side of Mount Taurus, and even there they would not have any rest, as Kaisarich, in Cara mania, was appointed as the rallying point of the scattered army. The army, therefore, was taking its course along the road to Asia Minor, to Konah, and Kutaiah, where Ibrahim was victorious in 1832, unless ho should halt on the front;crs of Syria, in consequence of the dispatches from his father, to he delivered to him by Captain Caille. We hope to-morrow to have our letters direct from Alexan dria, which the steam-boat must have brought. CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY B.—We are here in the greatest consternation and fear the worst. The Se raskier, Hafiz Pacha, has lost a battle against Ihraharn Pacha, between Aleppo and the Euphrates. Ibrahim Pasha who was more and more apprehensive that the pre sence of the Ottoman army would cause an insurrection in Syria, has attacked the army of Hafiz Pacha, and over. thrown it atter a short action. The 'lurks behaved in the most shameful manner, they betook themselves to flight after the first cannonade, and it is probable that Hafiz Pacha has scarcely been able to save or rally a third part of his army. This blow is decisive, and places the throne of the young Sultan, who is but just proclaimed, in extreme danger. This, however, is not the worst thing which was to befal the Porte. It has received another piece of intelligence of much greater importance, and more dangerous in its consequences, and which seems to increase the measure of the evils that have been so inconsiderately called forth. The Capitan Pacha has rejected the orders sent to him by the Porte not to sail any further, with the answer that he would receive no order from Khosrew Pacha ; that he considered him to be a traitor to the Sub lime Porte, who had not only intended to deliver up his sovereign to his enemies, but had also poisoned him ; that he would have nothing to do with the pres nt Govern ment who s ot still the l en t Porte, ertai ne entertained and i n w s s o e u i l m d a rathersentiment g o to .

The French Admiral Lalonde, who lies off the Dardanelles with some .chaps of the line, has nut hindered the Capitan Pacha from sailing in consequence of this declaration, but has required that he would proceed to Rhodes, in or der to communicate from that island with Mehemet Ali. Tae C~pi:an Pacha has complied with this irjunetion, and taken that course, accompanied by a French man-of war.

" The declaration which you make, by order of your Government, that the commercial intercourse of that State with the subjects of her Britannic Majesty will be continued on a b ,sis of liberality and equity, as also the guarantee which you offer the persons and property of British subjects in Gua teinata, are flittering indications of the enlightened prin ciples by which your Government is guided, and which cannot fail to be appreciated by the Government of her Britanic Majesty. FREDERICK CHATFIELD, Pedro N. Arsiago, Government Secretary. We have received the Journal of Antwerp of yesterday's date. Accounts from Arlon of the 24th July state a 'report that the Belgian and Dutch Commissioners had separated that morning without agreeing on the ceded territory, a h ch they have referred to their respective Governments. It is stated that already the French Government has ad drc,,sed a letter to the Belgian Minister, pressing the pay ment of the expenses of the double intervention of the French army in Belgium, amounting to sixty or seventy millions of francs LIVERPOOL COT TON MARKET, SATURDAY. —We have had a fair demand for Cotton to-day at yesterday's quota tions ; the sales from 3 to 4,000 bags, chiefly American.

Friday as Mr. Jones, of Seamore-place was riding in Hyde Park, the horse stumbled, and threw his rider with great force over his head against one of the iron posts bounding the road. Mr. Jones was picked up in an appa rently lifeless state, and conveyed to St. George's Hos pital, where, on examination, his skull was found to be ex tensively fractured, and scarcely any hopes of his surviving were entertained by the surgeons. On Thursday there was what the Tory trum peters call a " Great Conservative Dinner" at Chelten ham, to rejoice in that Mr. Richard Roe had come forward in opposition to the present Member, the Honourable C.

He had accepted a number of accom. rnodation bills for two or three friends, and had got himself into prison.

Cape of Good Hope papers have been received to the 26th May.

It states that his Excellency had lost no time in representing to her Ma jesty's Government the necessity of re-organizing the edu cational establishment of the colony, and of placing the public schools in charge of men professionally qualified to undertake the important office of public instructors. Intulligenee has been received from Port Natal by the Leveret. The Eleanora had arrived safe. The Gazette Piedmontaise states that Austria is accumu lating all descriptions of provisions in Transylvania, and the Russians are doing the same in Moldavia and Wallachia ; that 20,000 Russians had arrived at Odessa on the 25th and 27th June. The French papers state that Don Carlos was in a most embarrassing situation without money to pay his troops, who mutiny, and have no respect for their General. THE FUNDS. We have numerous arrivals this morning, the most im portant are from the East, United States, and Lisbon. From the first, it appears that the report of the Capitan Pasha's treachery in surrendering the Turkish fleet to the Egyptians is confirmed ; it also appears that some important events are on the lapis at Constantinople. The next ac counts from the above quarter are anxiously locked for. From the United States we have the arrival of two packet ships, the Shakspeare, of the 7th, at Liverpool, and the Samson, London line, arrived at Portsmouth, of the 10th Jaly. The political information they bring from New York is not of importance; but in respect to commercial affairs it appears that the raising of the discounts by the Bank of England has greatly damped their spirits, and much fear is entertained that it will prove very injurious to commerce, and cotton speculation (as will be seen in the Money article from the New York Papers). Consols opened this morning at the leaving off price of Saturday, 92 for the Account, and 92 to 92k for Money. The affairs of the East have not as yet affected the British Funds.

LATEST NEWS FROM AMERICA By the arrival of the London line of packet ship Sam son, at Portsmouth, from Nam York, which place she left on the 11th instant, papers of that date have been received, from which we make the following extract! " There is a general depression in the Money Mark and Stocks feel the downward influence. " It is not probable that money affairs here can be re• established on a better basis till the Bank of England re duces its rate of interest. When the rate of interest in Lon don is 5 per cent. it can hardly be expected that capitalists will loan it here at six or seven. The high rate of inte rest in England not only increases the value of money here, but so contracts the currency as materially to affect the value of produce. The falcon Cotton in the face of a short crop and the sudden annihilation thereby of an im mense amount of property is to us a public calamity, from which we can hardly hope to recover till a lower rate of interest tempts to investment in the staple and to specula tion. Unfortunately, too, this action of the Bank of Eng land, by crippling all the fortifications we might otherwise have from it in the sale of American securities, has left us no resource of our own but the hope that in the great marts where British manufactures are sold, the demand will be such as to compel an advance on the staple. " The horrible disorganization of the domestic ex changes adds to all these calamities. The country as v whole cannot now act against those foreign cau,es, but only here and there can we present a side to breast the storm. It is on these accounts that the news from Eng land, always important to us, is now more important than ever. " Exchange on England was at 9i per cent. pre. mium, and United States Bank shares 115 to 116." NEW YORK MONEY MARKET, &c., JULY 8. The Stock transactions on Saturday were again mode rate, and prices continued throughout the day much the same as on Friday. The Money Market is without any perceptible change since Friday; money is evidently scarce, or there is a want of confidence to make loans; yet, the great quietness that generally prevades the com mercial and trading community, causes only a moderate demand for it, and regular business men consequently get along without any great diff i culty. NEW YORK MONEY MARKET, &c. JULY 10. The sales of stocks yesterday, with the exception of Delaware and Hudson, and Harlem, were to a moderate extent only. Of the two!above-named descriptions of stocks, there seems to be a large amount pressing upon the market, for cash, and at the first board Delawyre and e:udson declined per cent. ; and Harlem, a per cent. cn the rates of Monday. At the second cal►, all kinds of shares were still heavier, and prices further receded, and Delaware and Hudson, sold at 69, and Harlem, at 48, and many other descriptions were offered at lower rates than at the morning call. Money continues quite close, and we perceive no favourable change in the market. In the foreign exchanges there is but little doing, and no special alteration in rates have transpired, on England, 4 dot. 86c. to 4 dot, 88c. the pound sterling ; on France, Jf .12qc to sf. 25e. The Bank of Kentucky has declared a dividend of 4 per cent., which will be paid at the Union Bank, to the shareholders on the books of this agency, on and after the 15th instant. PHILADELPHIA MONEY MARKET.—Bicknelts Reporter of yesterday says : .‘ We are unable to notice any material change in the Money market since our last. Some trifling improvement, however, was app rent in the early part of the week, al though Stocks were sadly depressed and rather declined than otherwise. The money rates at the close of the week were from 12 to 15 per cent. The fcllowing extract of a letter, said to have been written in Mississipi, appeared in the Con:mere:al last evening " Everything bears the aspect of gloom in Mississipi. The downward tendency of the cotton-market and the ex treme scarcity of money, joined to the confused state of the currency, make our prospects for getting out of debt look dreary in the extrt.me." " Notwithstanding the recent large issues of the Union Bank, amounting to nearly 4.000,000 dollars, no percep tible relief has been afforded the community. The courts are still crowded with suits, and the newspapers filled, to the exclusion of almost all other matter, with advertise ments of sheriffs' and marshals' sales. " I am afraid that the whole State will have to change hands and become the property of its creditors, before we can again get rightly in train."

(Frem the Burlington Sentinel, July 24.) FROM THE FRONTIER.—We regret to learn that another disgraceful scene has been enacted on the frontier by a party of refugees from Canada. " The party, which consisted of from ten to twenty men, all armed, arrived within half a mile of the line on Sunday night, 23d inst. Here they remsined concealed in the woods till Monday night, when, after dark, they emerged, and came to an opening on the premises of Mr. Mosier, and were discovered by his wife. One of the party fol lowed the woman to the house, and stated their object to be to take the fire-arms in possession of Mr. Burroughs, captain of militia, of Barnstown. Mosier remonstrated against their proceeding- further, but this had no effect on the gang, which then proceeded to Burroughs, demand ing; a surrender of the arms. It was at midnight. The demand was resisted by Mr. Burroughs, another man, and boy, all the force there was in the house at the time, except the women, and not a musket loaded out of the 20 or 30 stand which this valiant band had come to capture. Finding they could not obtain the arms, without at least the chance of taking ball with them, the party fled, after setting fire to the hay in the barn, leaving two dirks, and one of their party, Switzer, a prisoner. Thia fellow, a fit companion for such patriots, had been a tenant in our state prison, Switzer is the only one of the party who has any claim to being an American citizen, if indeed he has not forfeited this by his residence in Canada. I need not add there is a strong feeling of indignation prevalent in this section among all classes against the authors of this outrage." The following absurd report appears in one of the papers : " It is reported that Sir Allan M'Nab has been arrested in Toronto, Upper Canada, and thrown into prison, for forgery. All his property has also been seized, it is said. We hardly believe this ; at any rate, it requires confir mation." We learn that at a meeting of the board of directors of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, held yester day, the Hon. Louis M‘Lean was appointed by a unani mous vote to proceed to Europe, for the purpose of dis posing of the sterling bonds issued by the state of Mary land and city of Baltimore, in payment of their several subscriptions to the stock of the company. It is supposed that in the course of the ensuing week the various parts of the entire line of road from Harper's Ferry to Cumberland will be in the hands of the contractors.—Baltimore American. A DISCONSOLATE WIDOW.-A short time since we announced the death of Old Jack, the gigantic and venerable swan so well known in St. James's Park, and we have now to record the demise of another swan, the consort of Old Jack, and for many years his insepar able companion. The old hen, though not so aged as poor Jack, was supposed to be a sexagenarian, and to have been hatched about the year 1778. She first broke the shell at Frogmore, and was reared in the grounds of that beau tiful retreat, under the immediate auspices of King George 111. and Queen Charlotte, both of whom always mani fested an extraordinary degree of interest in the rearing of these magnificent birds. The Queen in particular paid great attention to the breed of swans, and by her special directions convenient buildings were erected in the plea sant gardens at Frogmore for their reception. Old Jack's consort was known by the familiar name of Jenny, and was placed in the canal of the ornamental gardens of St. James's Park shortly after they were laid out in their present form, and soon got on terms of great familiarity with Old Jack, and a mutual attachment existed between them up to the time of his de mise. They were often seen together on the water rear ing their snow-white necks, and looking out for biscuits from the promenaders. After the melancholy demise of the venerable swan, Old Jack, at the advanced age of 70 years, his consort pined, and evidently felt very keenly the loss of her companion. She refused her customary food, left her usual haunts, and appeared borne down with grief. She continued to pine away for several weeks, and expired in a kind of fit on Sunday morning, surviving her mate only three weeks. The body was sent to the Ornithological Society, in Museum -street, Bloomsbury, to be preserved. Like Old Jack, poor Jenny was terribly annoyed at the introduction of the shoals of foreign inter lopers on the canal, and, whenever her lord and master gave battle to the intruders, she most valiantly took part in the fray. There are, at the present time, only two full. good, a C nd IT s Y o w F as lS t H rad il o l_A p ß ri K ee E s grow swans and three cygnets in St. James's Park.

Rapeseed - • STATE OF TRADE. EVENING EDITION. FINE ARTS. MARTIN'S PICTURE of the CORONATION.- We were favoured on Saturday with a private view" of Mr. Martin's picture of the late Coronation, which is a striking production, with less than usual of the ar tist's mannerism. The time chosen for representation 14 when the Peers are offering their homagt.' to the Queen. Among them is Lord R o ll e , who, just' as i _ he is in the act of kneeling before her Majesty, falls V' the ground, and is with difficulty enabled to recover his equilibrium. Seeing this, the Queen rises front h'. 11. . chair, in order' to lend her assistanc e to th e infant O' nobleman—a sudu , t:n and unexpected mov e ment, cv/1, 1 of course creates a jeneral sensation, and gives 1147. v. Martin an opportunity oc throwing animation and va riety into his more conspicuous groupes, thereby break ing the still-life and monotony of his subject. The Peers, in the fore-ground, for instatice, instead of sitting calm and collected, in regular and formal order, and with cast-iron stiffness, as they do in some of the Co ronation paintings we have seen, are rising, sonic of them from their benches, while others are leaning for ward, evidently much astonished at the little dramatic episode that is going forward. Here, the artist has been as successful as he could desire ; but we reaoY cannot compliment him on the skill or grace with which he has delineated her Majesty's face and figure. As fat as regards the architectural portion of his painting, he has realized—indeed, more than realized—all the expectations that could have been formed of him, fo r his colouring is chaste and sober, wit lout being in the, slightest degree t ame or co ld ; an d hi s l o f t y a isles and grey pillars —so adroitly disposed are his lights and shadows—stand out on the canvas with qute a Rea" brant-like distinctness and impressiveness. fijo cr ess. lights are handled with equal felicity, and stream across the Abbey with a brilliancy that dazzles the s,n ec. tator's eyes. The back-ground is not, we think, thros', l n quite enough into perspective—a n unusua l f au lt wit h Mr. Martin, who is the most triumphant master of space tl.at modern art can show. Altogether, the picture is a remarkable one ; but it is impressive rather as a whole, at a first glance, than in details ; in parti cular, the more prominent figures in the fore-ground will not stand a very searching critical examination. In the same room with the Coronation, there is a fine landscape painting, with one of Claude's skies, entitled Alpheus and Arethusa, which Earl Grey, we understand has just purchased for Howick Hall. LITERA TURE. THE EDINBURGH REVIEW, No. CKL. Longman, London, 1839. It is not often that we have to make the same 017 ' jection to this periodical that we feel compelled to mak e to the Numb er b e f ore us — name l y, t h at t h e ma j or i t y of its article's are dull, and deficient in general interest! Dullness is seldom the fault of the Edinburgh Revkly , but in the present instance it is so in a high d e gree. Most of the topics discussed are such as the ordinary reader feels little interest in ; and those which a re not, liable to this fatal objection, have alre a dy b een can vassed and re-canvassed, till they are worn quite threadbare' Of such a sort is the notice of the " Duke of Welling' ton's Despatches," which every Review and Magazine , monthly or quarterly, and every weekly and deaf, Journal in th e ki ng d om , h av e been discu ss i n g O n quoting largely from, for the last fifteen or sixteen months. Blackwood led the van in a series of elaborate essays ; then followed the Times and Chronicle ; then the Quarterly Review ; then the smaller fry of period!' cals ; and now comes the Edinburgh, just about one year after date 1 There is nothing in the article on this el" haunted theme, that is calculated to atone for such a long and unaccountable delay. It sheds no new light on th e subject, and in its eulogies on the Duke of Wellingto n, merely echoes the common-places of its predecessor s. We quote the justest and most sensible passage in the whole article. Speaking of his Grace's despatches from P o rtu ga l i n hi s ear li er P en i nsu l ar capa i gn s ! the Reviewer say s :—" Th ere i s no part o f t h e Duke 41, Wellington's military career which deserves to be mo re studied, or merits to be more admired. Elsewher e ' events present themselves which, within the earn pass of a single day, exhibit those brilliant qu a; 'kips which d eterm i ne t h e i ssue o f a contest o n the field of battle—qualities which announce at on ee their own fa me —b ut nowhere, we believe he , will there be found mor e conv i nc i ng proofs of wisdom, foresight, a n h sustained vigour of mind, than in the transactions v'th c o . took place b e t ween t h e autumn o f 1809, an d the kr% of 1811.

The best portion O t l this review is that which briefly glances a: the preen ~1 social and politi ca l con di t i on o f S we d en, w hi c h , we a rc told " veils a spirit of injustice and hostility to the many' under the forms of a Constitution working only for the benefit of the few ; and unites, throughout its remote and thinly-populated territory, the barbarisms of feudal! and the f refinement of corrupt ages, with an a mount of poverty and crime greater than that which has yet infected the crowded populatio ns o f mo d ern States . Lyell's Elements of Geology," is an instructive ana lysis of a work that ranks high among men of science ; in the course of which the Reviewer does justice to the character of Dr. Hutton, whom lie conceives to be of fectively the author of the Theory of the Earth now almost universally received, and who,he adds, had the misfortune to be too far in advance of his contemporaries. " Voyages of Captains King and Fitzroy" is a digest of the most re cent discoveries made in the stormy and inhospitable regions of Patag on i a an d Terra delFuego. It is th e most entertaining a rti c l e i n th e num b er , an d co ntains several well-selected ext rac t s .

" S helley ' s Poetical Works" IS a just criticism, holding the balance evenly betwee n the praise an d bl ame ; i t i s, however, somewhat late in day to canvass the peculiarities of a poet so we ll k n own as Shelley.
