The Sun. — London, England, 1850-10-11 00:00:00

swarmed in the narrow and gloomy streets of the manufacturing town, you see well-dressed workmen, with an appearance of streng th and health, going to work or returning peaceably from their workshop with their tools on their shoulder; young girls issuing without tumult from the houses where they work, under the superintendence of women older than themselves, or of a father or bro ther, who brings them back to the house ; from time to time you see numerous columns of little children of from five to eight years of age, poorly but decently clad, led by a woman, who leaves them at their own doors, after having watched over them all day. They all present the appearance of relative comfort, of the most exquisite cleanliness, and of health. You will perceive few, if any, idle groups on the public way, and infinitely fewer drunken men than formerly; the streets appear as if purged of vice and wretched ness, or only exhibit those which always remain on the scum of an immense population. If you converse in a drawing-room, in a public carriage, at a public dinner table, even in the street, with men of the different classes in England; if you take care to be present, as I did, at places where per sons of the most advanced opinions meet and speak ; if you read the journals, those safety-valves of public opinion, you must remain struck with the extreme mildness of men's minds and hearts, with the tempe rance of ideas, the moderation of what is desired, the prudence of the Liberal opposition, the tendency evinced towards a conciliation of all classes, the jus tice which all classes of the English population render to each other, the readiness of all to co-operate, each according to his means and disposition, in advancing the general good—the employment, comfort, instruc tion, and morality of the people—in a word, a mild and serene air is breathed in place of the tempest blast which then raged in every breast. The equi librium is re-established in the national atmosphere. One feels and says to oneself—" The people can come to an understanding with itself ; it can live, last, prosper, and improve for a long time in this way. Had I my residence on this soil I should not any longer tremble for my hearth." I except, it must be understood, from this very ge neral character of harmony and reconciliation two classes of men whom nothing ever satisfies—the de magogues and the extreme aristocrats—two tyrannies -whi,l cannot content themselves with any liberty, because they eternally desire to subjugate the people, the one by the intolerance of the rabble, the other .by the intolerance of the little number. The newspapers of the inexorable aristocracy, and of the ungovernable radicalism, are the only ones that still contrast, by their bitterness, with the general mild ness of opinions in Great Britain. But some clubs of Chartists, rendered fanatical by sophistry, and some clubs of diplomatists, rendered fanatical by pride, only serve the better to show the calm and reason which are more and more prevailing in the other parts of the nation. The one make speeches to the emptiness of places where the people are invited to meet, and the others pay by the line for calumnies and invectives against France and against the present age.* No one listens and no one reads. The people work on. The intelligent Tories lament Sir R. Peel, and accept the inheritance of his Con servative doctrines by means of progress. It appears that a superhuman hand carried away during that sleep of 20 years all the venom which racked the social body in this country. If a Radical procession is announced, as on the 10th of April, 250,000 citizens, of all opinions, appear in the streets of London as special constables, and preserve the pub lic peace against these phantoms of another time. Such is the present appearance of the public mind in England to a stranger. A. DE LAMARTINE. Nothing equals the acrimony of two or three Tory newspapers in ~ England against France, democracy, the Provisional Government, the Republic, and all the men who were mixed up, intimately or remotely, in the crisis of 1848. These journals translated, for the use of the English aristocracy, the diatribes of the French journals against these men. It is easy to see that French anger is concerned in the ink. Such outbreaks, natural enough in France, are absurd in London. When Ireland, then volcanised, came, after the revolution of February, and asked for the support of France against England, the Provisional Government replied, " We are at peaca with Great Britain; but even were we at war with her, we could not consent to light up a civil war amongst our enemies." England then applauded, now sho hoots and groans. That is neither English nor French: it is savage. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. THE GRIND NATIONAL CONCERTS.

" The author, we are convinced, Is young, otherwise we could hardly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be half of heroes and heroines.

We gather this from the glowing lan guage i which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions on the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays on matters that are the prima mobilia of the actions which cha racterise nature's nobility.

The Revenue Returns for the financial year and quarter, ending the 10th of October instant, will be found in another part of this day's paper. A ♦ery considerable diminution will be found in the receipts of the past quarter, when compared with the cor responding period of last year. But, although at first sight, this result may lead to the impression that the tide has at length turned, and that we have seen the termination of that steady progressive improve ment in the national finances, to which it has been our pleasing duty to direct the public attention for many successive quarters, it will, on a closer examination, be discovered that there is no real cause for despondency, but that the deficiencies in the various departments may be all fully and fairly accounted for, that they are not greater than might reasonably have been anticipated, under all the circumstance of the case. The year's revenue, too, notwithstanding the re ductions that have been made in the national taxation, exhibits a considerable surplus over that ending the 19th of October, 1849, which, in turn, was better by nearly a quarter of a million sterling, than the preceding year; so that the amelioration is even greater than might be supposed, and the state of affairs far more satisfactory than would appear from the inspection of the present returns. The quarters ending on the 10th October, 1849, and on the sth July, 1850, were both peculiarly favour able. At the former period there was a considerable increase of revenue both on the year and quarter, and that in the most important items, amounting on the year to 235,5711., and on the quarter to 276,0931, the improvement in the Excise alone being 185,0031. and on the Stamps 224,8051.; so that :the receipts under these heads, notwithstanding the abolition of the tax on bricks and the change in the stamp duties, are greater than they were in the quarter ending 10th October, 1848. The flourishing state of the re venue during the corresponding quarter of last year will make the present appear on comparison rather unfavourably. But that is really to be ascribed not to the badness of the present season, but to the extra ordinary excellence of that with which it is coin pared. The quarter ending the sth July was also exceedingly prosperous. There were not so many demands for indulgence, or arrears of taxes suffered to hang over. Considerable amounts, that were usually collected int he October quarter, were this year realised, and brought into the Exchequer during the preceding quarter, so that, though there has been no diminution of receipts within the half-year, there will appear a falling off on the quarter. These facts would alone be sufficient to account for the unpro pitious aspect of affairs ; but there are other causer, also, in operation quite sufficient to explain the matter, and to leave the public confidence in the buoyancy of the national resources without drawback or dimi nution. We now proceed to consider the particular features of the present returns. The entire increase on the year is 645,475/., of which 470,708/, is on the ordinary branches of revenue, and the residue on the extraor dinary—the " imprest and other monies," and " re payments of advances." On the quarter there is a deficiency of 289,0081., but as there %as an increase on the extraordinary branches of 129,095/., the actual deficiency on the ordinary branches is no less than 418,1031. In the Customs there is an increase on the year of 81,242/., and a trifling falling off of 1,3891. on the quarter. But, looking to the minor branches comprised under this important item, it will be seen that the decrease is far more than accounted fur by the smaller importation of foreign spirits, on which the falling off amounts to about 200,0001. As, how ever, the larger consumption of brandy and rum in the former year was occasioned by the fearful scourge that was raging in the metropolis and throughout the country, in the autumn of 1849, we have no reason to regret the regluction, although a loss to the revenue of 2C0,000/. was the consequence. There are some other small reductions on silks, corn, cheese, &c ,while, on the other hand, there are material improvements on sugar, tea, raisins, currants, &c., amounting in the whole to about the amount lost by the reduction on spirits. There are few indeed, we believe, who will not agree with us in thinking that a revenue derived from sugar, tea, raisins, and currants, is more desirable than one from ardent spirits. In the Excise, which indicates the condition of the working classes, there is an increase on the year of 531,1861., but a diminution on the quarter of 184,2341. This is altogether to be attributed to the abolition of of which was collected in the autumn quarter; in deed the receipts from this branch, in the correspond ing quarter of 1849, was no less than 240,0001., which we have not only lost, but we have returned about 23,0001. that had formerly been paid into the E xchequer- The loss on this single item is, therefore, more than 263,0001., or nearly 79,0001. more than the entire deficiency, so that in other respects there is an im provement to that amount as compared with the very prosperous quarter of last year; and if it be consi dered in reference to the quarter of 1848, it will be seen that, notwithstanding the abolition of the brick duty, the total receipts are greater than they then were, the amount for the present quarter being 4,103,3431., and in 1848, 4,102 . 574/. The principal improvement has been in malt, showing that the welling classes have enjoyed a fair proportion of the wholesome beverage which is considered so necessary for the labouring population. On the Stamps there has been a falling off both on the year and quarter ; on the former cf 182,433/., and on the latter of 179,7191. It must not, however, be forgotten that an Act passed during the last ses sion of Parliament, introducing various alterations in this branch of the public revenue, which, according to the calculations of Sir CHARLES WooD, would occasion a less to the revenue of 300,000/, per annum. These changes have only just come into operation, but the dealers in anticipation suffered their stocks to run out. The activity at Somerset-house is very great, and we are told that the quantity of parchment sent in to be stamped has been so great, that the authori ties have been obliged to get up a special locality for the London and country districts, and that it will be some time before the present demands can be met. All the employees in that department are obliged to work overtime. If we couple with these facts the extraordinary produce of the duties last year, the October quarter of 1849 showing an increase on that of 1848 of 224,8051., partly ascribable to a greater degree of activity in the commercial world, and partly to the reduced allowance for the sale of various denominations of stamps, which induced the various distributors to lay in larger stocks, we shall find that there is no cause to be discouraged at the diminution of the receipts for stamp duties during the present quarter. On the Land and Assessed Taxes there is an improve ment on the year of 8,1851., but a falling off on the quarter of 16,4441. The Property-tax also shows 30,5021• increase on the year, but a decrease on the quarter of 46,1421. These latter points may, however, be ac counted for, as we have already stated, by greater punctuality on the part of the payers of these imposts. In the Post-office there is a decrease on the year of 32 0001., but an improvement on the quarter of 3,000/. On Crown Lands there is an increase on the year of 32,0001., the quarter remaining in statu quo; while in Miscellaneous there is an in crease of 4,0261. on the year, and 6,8251. on the quar ter. On the whole we may consider the returns as by no means unsatisfactory, and this feeling will not be altered by the consideration that the country is no longer expending more than its income, but that there is still a handsome surplus, after pro viding for the interest of the public debt and the maintenance of the national establishments. Journalism in France is now more than ever the exponent of individual opinion. Under the most favourable circumstances, it has seldom been entitled to the dignity of being regarded as the organ of party. Even when abandoned to the most unbridled license of expression and sentiment, it has been rather the effusion of personal conviction than the utterance of the aggregated ideas of the community. The mask of the anonymous has on all occasions in Paris been worn lightly enough, insomuch, that it was never difficult to detect the features of the redacteur under a disguise so transparent, even,,inlthe crises which have preceded revolution. It was not more notorious, in 1789, that the sinister ambition of MA RAT was lurk ing under the periods of the Ami du Peuple, that bulletin of the political shambles:! or that, in 1790, the frenzied genius of DESMOULINi pierced the ears of the democracy through the cries of the Vieux Cor deliers, than that, in 1830, the probity of CARREL, and, in 1848, the sarcasm of MARRAST found utterance in the columns of the National, that diminative but potent standard of the barricades ! Scarcely ever, indeed, has it happened that the identity of the writers in the principal newspapers of France has been mis taken by the practised eye of the Parisian. So prevalent, in fact, among our neighbours has been this faculty for detecting the veritable ego under the col -lecive pronoun employed for the sake of convenience in editorial lucubrations, that in periods of emergency the people have had recourse to the bureaux of jour nalism, selecting the most eminent journalists fur their most responsible administrators. Hence, on the occasion of the revolutionary movement of Is3o, it was a simple publicist thus chosen who moulded into form the then shapeless materials of the Orleanist Government. Hence, also, it was from the ranks of the prominent editors in the French capital that in 1848 were selected the majority of the states men constituting the Provisional Government. Hitherto, however, with this habit on the part of the. Parisian journalists to wear the political domino of the anonymous rather loosely on their shoulders, and sometimes, indeed, to throw the mask of pretended secresy aside altogether, the practice has been wholly and entirely optional. By the new law of the press the disclosure of identity is rendered compulsory—a circumstance not always convenient—and the news papers of the Republic are already beginning to feel the evil consequences of this most arbitrary regulation• Under the previous slovenly but effective arrange ment, the fame of a great political writer was per mitted to enhance the prestige attached to organs manifestly the emanation of various intellects. Ac cording to this system of partial revelation, the pro ductions of the most obscure contiibutor were not unfrequently elevated into importance, by being at tributed to some one or other among his illustri ous colleagues. Consequently, when each sepa rate article comes to be authenticated with its signature, the force of many evaporates in the disclosure, and the weight of the paper itself upon public opinion becomes proportionately di minished. Some of not the least remarkable journals in Paris, even at this early period after the inno vation, discover the advantages arising from the old and optional plan of explanation. A joke in the Charivari, when it appears before us formally en dorsed by M. DELoRD, loses inevitably much, so to speak, of its aroma and piquancy. A tart criticism in the Patrie, when explicitly fathered upon M. FOES:ADE ; a fervid outpouring of devo tional rhetoric in the Univers, when subscribed (as a sort of stereotyped ainsi-soit il) by the tame of M. VLUILLOT ; a vigorous digest of events in the political section of the Ordre, when cramped from the We into the I by the autograph of M. CLIAMBOLLB ; leading articles of the most brilliant excellence, when signed in the Union by M. LARENTIE, in the As sentblie National by M. DE LAVALETTB, and in the Pouvoir by M. DE CASSAGNAC—dwindIe down into merely so many personalities instead of re maining as heretofore disquisitions capable of influencing the judgments of the g eneral community. In some cases the result has become ludicrous, in others matter of real commiseration. One news paper has been transformed by the change into a most ridiculous misnomer, being no longer the Opinion Publique, but the Opinion de M. FRANGOIS NETTEMENT. In the instance of the poor Constitu tionnel, again, the dignity of the editorial plural becomes shrivelled up at the end of all the principal leaders into a sort of flip pant Nous VERON ! From the ill effects even now experienced it would appear, from rumours be coaling prevalent in the literary circles of the French cwital, that overtures are being made to some of the chi& f publicists of the nation to lend the aid of their great names to the no longer, in any instance, anon).- !nous labours of juurnali=rn. To this end, it is re ported that M. GUIZOT is about to be enlisted in the service of the Journal des Debats, while the Siecle will be assisted not improbably by the practised hand of M. DE LAMARTINE. Whatever the result of these negotiations may be (whether or not M. PERRIE is to be thus aided on the Si6cle, or M. BERTIN on the Journal des Debuts), it is certainly being considered seriously is Paris if • it may not be advisable to enlist among the acknow ledged journalists of France, not only the ex-Minister Of LOUIS PHILIPPE and the ex-Miniiter of the Pro n • +l,, a I not oniy M. uizuT and M. DE LAMAUTENE, but bl. MARRAST and N. TRIERS, with such men, moreover, as BARROT, and HUGO, and BERRYER, and MONTALEMBERT. Under all circum stances the innovation can only prove disadvantageous to the French journalists themselves, being rather be neficial than otherwise as far as their contemporaries in other countries are concerned. To the former the change may prove a most irksome inconvenience, to the latter it can only appear in the light of a mcst inte resting experiment. A very few additional weeks will be sufficient to show whether that experiment is suc cessful, or whether that inconvenience to the journalists is compensated by a corresponding im provement in journalism. FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 11, 1850.: FRENCH• REPUb'LIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. We have now the best authority for stating that the Committee of Permanence view with marked dis pleasure the proceedings of the PRESIDENT at the Versailles review, and that General D'HAUTPOUL was severely reprimanded by M. Dun N, the President of he Committee on Monday. Tile journals of the Ely , Cta, more especially the Constitutionnel and the Moniteur du Soir, had, in their publications of Wed nesday, distinctly denied the statements which had appeared in the journals of the preceding day on the subject of the proceedings in the Committee • and the Constitutionnel had represented that the explanations of General D'HAUTPOUL had been considered satisfac tory by all the military members of the Committee, and that he had overborne the slight opposition of the civilians and bullied them into acquiescence. In the Ordre of yesterday we find the following reply, signed by M. DE CRAMBOLLE, himself a member of the Committee, to the statements which appeared in the Constitutionnel. "It is not without a sentiment of the utmost surprise that the members of the Committee have read the strange account published by the Constitutionnel. Mem bers with whom we have spoken regret much the obliga tion under which they labiur not to repeat what takes place in the Committee, otherwise they would furnish such a recital as could not fail to give a peremptory con tradiction to the Constitutionnel and the Moniteur du Soir. The facts need only to be simply exposed to show all the audaciousness and untruth of these pretended Ministerial explanations, and their pretended effect on the Com mittee. Persisting in our reserve, we will only say that the attitude of the Committee in the presence of General o'Hautpoul was worthy of the National Assembly which it represents; that it was M. Dupin who spoke in the name of the Committee; and that amongst the members present there were several ancient Ministers, with six general officers, perfectly provided with precedents re garding the question at issue, and who, full of solici tude for the webare of the army, were very far from taking the views attributed to them by the Consti tutionnel." We read in the Gazette de France— ‘ It is announced that M. Dupont (de l'Eure), ex- President of the Provisional Government, is to be brought forward by the Republican party of February as candidate in the departmeat of the Nord, the elet t on for which is to take place on Nov. 3. Oa the other hand, the Elysee supports General Roguet, lately ap pointed aide-de-2lmp to the President of the Republic. Yesterday morning, about seven o'clock, some young men, dressed in the height of fashion, paraded along the Boulevards, opposite the Hotel of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and commenced shouting " Vive HENRI V!" Some workmen who were pro ceeding to their labour raised a cry of " Vive hs Re publique," and attacked the unlucky Henriquinquists, who were compelled to retreat with their toilet irre trievably damaged ; the elegant hat was smashed, the varnished boots were mudded, the tight-fitting coat was split up the back, and the yellow kids in which the Count DE MONTALEISIBERT takes so much delight, wera covered with dirt. The Monileur publishes a decree of the PRESIDENT Of the Republic, opening a credit to the Minister of the Interior to the amount of 103,000 f., for the pur chase of a portion of the paintings of the late King of HOLLAND, which are to be placed in the museum of the Louvre. M. GUIZOT, who arrived in Paris on Tuesday, pre sided on Thursday at the weekly meeting of the French Academy. It is reported that he is about to resume his former connexion with the Journal des Debats. The Marquis DE PANGE, late Peer of France, and who served in the hussars of Berchini previous to the first revolution, died on Sunday last, in his chateau, in the 81st year of his age. The insignia of the Golden Fleece were presented on Tuesday by the Spanish Ambassador, in the name of tha Queen of SPAIN, to the PRESIDENT of the Republic, who, on Wednesday, sent in return the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour to the Ambas- F ador.

The deputation f rom the Supreme C ounc il had had an interview with the ELECTOR at Wiltielms bad. The ELECTOR repudiated distinctly all respect for the laws and constitution by virtue of which alone he reigns, declared that he z ons iGred any and every limitation of his sovereign and despotic power as an act of usurpation; and when the deputation protested agaicst any infringement of the law, and expressed a hope that the provisions of th e l aw wou ld b e o b serve d, the lawless, law-breaking, and law-rejecting Prince replied—" In censequenca the servants o f th e s t a te c omm ind, the Prince must obey I" and would PatiAsia has conferred the order of hear no reore, and the deputation withdrew. on Baron MEYENDORFF, who was recently the Russian.

The Danes endeavour to lcs..en the returns of the loss which they have sustained during the bombardment of the town as mach as possible ; but it is made known that throughout the course of the last week many wounded were sent off to Bustin), and, as appears from the letter of a surgeon which has reached us from Copenhagen, that a number of the inhabitants of this severely-tried town have been killed or wounded. "Nothing positive has yet been ascertained in regard to the number lost on the Schleswig side; but this much is certain, that our return made yesterday, of between 500 and 600 killed and wounded, does not come up to the truth. " Nezt to the 6th Battalion (which is to be replaced by the sth), the 11th Battalion and let Tage Corps suf fer. d most severely. The return of the 6th Battalion to Rendsburg is variously described.

Ter lb.—Tho Share Market was dull with prices generally lower. The letters by the steamer Pacific from the United States were delivered this morning. Great rivalry exists between the United States and Cunard steamers, and the honour of attaining a maximum speed is strongly contested. In ten successive passages the steamers Atlantic and Pacific averaged 10 days 21i hours from dock to dock, but the last pas!age home of the Asia beat all previous pe - eformances. The money market at New York was very easy, and it is stated in a report tram that city that —” The next arrival from California, it is esti mated, will give us an addition of at least two millions of gold dust to our present supply, and v..e have no doubt the banks of this city will have en hand, on the Ist of January, 1851, more than twenty millions of specie. The Government has on hand, in its various deposito rite, more than twelve millions of specie, most of which wilt be distributed among the eemmercial classes by the Appropriation Bill. All this tends to promote specula tion; and as there appears to be no possibility of get ting up any movement in any of our staple articles of commerce on account of the abundant supply of each, we see no outlet for the speculative propensities of the public but in the stock market •° As soon as intelligence reaches Earope that al our political difficulties have been satisfactorily and per manently settled—that the slavery question, par ticularly, has been permanently adjusted ; that all sections of the Union have abandoned all their sectional prejudices, and have become more strongly cemented than ever in the bonds of union, the effect will be of the most favourable character. We have no doubt but that as soon as the matter is thoroughly understood abroad, there will be a more active deaiand for our public stocks than we have ever yet experienced, and that foreign capital will flow in upon us on all sides. Whilst the stocks of the Fe deral and State Governments are being absorbed by fo reigners our domestic capitals will be seeking invest ments in our local stocks of a sound and productive character. The safety and security of our railroad bonds are at present better understood by cur own capi talists, and many will, doubtless, dispose of their Gce vernment securities to foreigners, and invest the proceeds in stacks or bonds of incorporated companies, equally good, but not so well known abroad. " This is the view we have taken of the present posi tion of our political, financial, and commercial affairs, and such are the results we anticipated. We cannot, there fore, resist the belief that a period of prosperity is about opening upon us unprecedented in the history of our progress—one calculated to develope our resources with wonderful rapidity—in which every one will participate to a greater or less extent." Accounts of Sept. 2, from Vera Cruz, state that the report of the Finance Committee has been adopted by Congress; this, however, is but the revival of an old rumour.

CORN EXCHANGE.-FRIDAY. The supply of English Wheat on sale to-day—a por tion being left over from Monday —was tolerably good, and of fair average quality. Since Saturday evening the ari:vals coastwise have amounted to 3,590 quarters.

Selected qualities were held at full prices; but the middling and inferior, qualities were somewhat lower t o p urc h ase , an d a tots' clearance was not effected. From abroad 11,240 guar ters of Wheat have arrived this week. That grain U 3 a very :slow inquiry. In prices, however, we have no' change to report.

There was a fair bum' ness doing in Oats, and late rates were well supported' Beans, Peas, and Indian Corn were neglected. Flour , both English and Foreign, moved off slowly at Monday's prices.
