An attempt is making to convince our rulers that the Chartist agitation, and all similar agitation, is nearly or quite extinct. Should there be no good ground for the attempt, and should it succeed, it may in the end be injurious to the peace and pro gress of society, by persuading men in power that there is no occasion to set about needful reform. We hold it our duty, therefore, to state our opinions on the subject, in order to guard against an impor tant mistake. ,t is very true that much less now is said about ,he Charter than formerly, but silence is not death. it is also true that several leading men amongst the Chartists have turned their thoughts to education, to checking the consumption of spirituous liquors, and generally to improving the moral habits of the people ; but these projects are embraced as a more safe and certain means of obtaining tire cud pro posed by the Chatter, the thorough and complete, emancipation of labour, the thorough and complete equalization of all classes and conditions, as to poli tical and civil rights. It is further true, that a con; sidcrable ',number of newspapers which formerly were started on Chartist principles, and obtained an ephemeral circulation, have disappeared, and that at present the number of -such journals in England scarcely exceeds. three. But that is much more a proof that a race of adventurers who endeavoured to turn the discontent of the people to their profit have not succeeded than that Chartism is dead. News- papers may fall, leaders may desert the people or apostatize, the words Charter and Chartism may become extinct, but the thing, - the substance which rulers should regard, has, we believe increased, and will increase, till a great and effectual change has been made in our political institutions. What in reality is Chartism ? Discontent, dccp and wide-spread discontent with our political insti tutions. Is that diminished ? Has anything hap pened, or has anything been done, to diminish it ? Nothing whatever. Labour is just as much op pressed, or more oppressed, just as suffering, or more suffering, than ever. With every month, and even with every day, is:the conviction strengthened that justice is denied to the labouring classes. Discontent, instead of being appeased, is sinking deeper into their hearts, and becoming incorporated with their existence. It will 'soon wholly usurp 'le place of that prescript:ve love for our instil- ions on which statesmen rely. Discontent,instead of becoming silent and abashed, is taking a bolder tone—as witness the Chartists of Norwich bearding the gentry of Norfolk—and is embracing a greater number of persons. Chartism is spreading into the classes above the labourers. The master-manufacturers, erewhile the most opposed to the Chartists, are becoming Chartists in fact, if not in name. Bad markets, falling prices, accumulating stocks, ruined trade, bankruptcy, and want, are now filling the masters with discontent. Chartism in this sense may be seen at Leeds and Leicester, demanding a great extension of the suffrage, and taking means to procure it. Chartism in this sense is widely em braced at Manchester, and stimulates the demand for a total and immediate repeal of the Corn-laws. Chartism in this sense seems to pervade the awi cultural, as well as manufacturing districts, where it breathes forth expressions of hatred to the New Poor-law, and to property, and where a large rural police is required to prevent riot and depredation. The Charter has recently found one Member of Parliament to de clare in its favour, and many more must, from the necessity of the times, become the organs of the public discontent, or cease to represent the people. There is nothing in our political institutions— nothing in the distribution of political power — nothing in the existing right of property—nothing in the Church Establishment—nothing in our re presentative system—nothing in the mcde of mak ing laws—nothing in the mode of administering them, which speaks to the hearts and the reason of the masses. From all the advantages of out poli tical institutions they arc carefully excluded, though to exclude them from the advantages of society, such as the incre ase of knowled g e, the extension of skill, the growth of civilization, the enlargement of power, is beyond th e reach of the politician. Hence the source of i ncreasin g Chartism or na tional discontent. The masses increase, irrespective of property, in power, skill, knowledge, and civiliza tion, and the political rules of society refuse to make political institutions 'conform to the change. Ever• increasing discontent with those political institu tions is the inevitable consequence, till human nature can bear no more ; and then comes sedi tion, rebellion, and revolution. been its most active and efficient servants. We quite agree with the Times, that the subject re quires to be looked into ; and it would be more worthy of our Contemporary's talents, were he fully to investigate it on the rational, though anti-Tory principle, which has already guided his pen, than to indulge, ns he too often does, in very silly ac cusations of the Ministers, to whom, on this oc casion, he has unwittingly rendered a service. The Tintcs of Friday contained an excellent ar ticle on a 13rcret promotion, a greater part of which we transferred to our pages. The chief ob• ject of it was to ridicule the idea of waling such an important and expensive 1-.:easure contingent on the birth of a Royal infant, and to demonstrate that it ought only to take place when the wants of the service made it necessary. Our Contemporary was led to his just and enlightened conclusion by looking steadily at the purpose for which an army is organised, and the rational means of ob taining that end. A beet et (it said) is not a toy to be trifled with. It is not an empty ceremonial, or, like a silver trumpet or kettle-drum, a noisy appendage to Court festivities and parades. A brevet is a grave measure of military policy ; it ought never to be resorted to but en occasions of politi cal necessity. But then, on the known exister ce ul such necesity, nothing should int^tlere with, or retard, its adoption for a single hour. I'ne neces-ity for a brevet arises from the undue yet portion of old and worn-out officers in the upper ranks of either service—teen incapacitated by age for the en durance of hardship, or for the exercise of lenig-rontiouvil activity ; and from the consequent want of a sufficient number of younger and more efficient officers. Although the result of a brevet may be, in some mea sure, to remove dissatisfaction and despondency from the minds of gentlemen thereby promoted, and of others ho thus perceive themselves to be separated from fu ture promotion by a diminished interval, such is not the principal aim or object of a brevet. The rcapm for a brevet is the exigency of the public ervice—the absolute want of an accession of energy, •etivity, and vigour to those classes of officers amongst whom cemniandrrs by sea and hind must be sought for, lad the practicalnity afforded by this promotion of ju nior cheers to higher ranks of passing by men disquali fied through mental :Ind bodily decline for trusts of high trupgrtance, and for severe and trying labours. It is manifest, therefore, that if the State requires an efficient army, and on the score of economy, aboi c all things, no other ought to be maintained, sho must em ploy officers of strength ard vigour, and consequently, at a time of life which would qualify them for the dis charge of their fatiguing duties. This benefit eon be no otherwise attained than by such an infusion of energy and capabil.ty from the junior into the upper ranks of the service as would leave the Government a wirier field of choice in the appintment of those aho arc to carry on the active services required of them by the ecuntiy. But is it not ludicrous tied contemptible beyond coffin-- anee to make the adoption or rejection of this public turn upon such a heterogeneous and far-tetched as the birth of a Prince or Princess ? We were glad to see the Times of Saturday rc turn to its former good sense, and do justice to the navy. Far from finding fault with the weak and inefficient crews of our men of war, it then admit ted that the exploit of Sir ROBERT STOPFORD was of a higher order than that of the conqueror of Algiers. It di ;covered that tire precision of our g unnery was terrible, and its cffects resistless. This (it said) has been a grand and triumphant exploit." It has revived the 'ancient prestige of the British navy. It must prove a salutary lesson here inw t wanting ; and, we suspect, will not even upon madmen be throw n away. Nowhere was that ksson more wanted than in Printing-house square, though we doubt, whatever may be the conviction of the Times, win:dm it will publicly do justice to the AI NTO Boards which it has incessantly persecuted, and ac ctu.;(l of allowing our navy to go to ruin. The results in which it glories could scarcely be ob tained by an int. fficient A dministra:ion. In fact, we believe that the gunnery practice, which was, says the Times, " first taught by Capt. 1 - 1 A P INGS," orvcs very much to the judicious encourage ment of Lord Mt N TO, and the fostering care of Sir SAMUEL PECII EL, one of the' MINT° Board."' That nickname, which the Times meant as an ex pressiun of contempt will henceloith become, from its praise of Saturday, one of honOur'; arid the . MINT° Board will be retnembered,in after ages, as that B•Jard of Adthiralty under whose auspices one of the most glorious naval exploits on record was achieved. Those who investigate its merits by facts, disregarding the tales which the Times has published day after day, viii probably come to the conclusion that no Board of Admiralty ever did more to ensure the efficiency of our fleet. measure accident The enntinuAtion of the debate in the French Chamber of Deputies on the Address, in answer to the Speech from the Throne, during the sittings of Thursday, Friday, and up to the departure of the mails for London on Saturday afternoo, will be found in another part of The Sun. Of the length of the speeches delivered some idea will he formed when we state that the speeches of MM. PASSY and GuizoT occupied the whole of Thursday's sitting ; those of MM. THlEtts and VILLEMAIN the whole of Friday ; and it was expected on Sa turday that the Chamber would rise immediately after the conclusion of M. ODILLON BARROT'S speech—thus occupying, with five speeches and M. GUIZOT'S explanation of Saturday morning, three sittings of the Chamber. The speeches of MM. IJUIZOT and TIMERS will repay the trouble of an attentive perusal. While severally protesting against the idea of justifying themselves, or of recri minating upon others, these statesmen mado-disclo sures,and•gave utterance to mutual complaints which must lower them in the eyes of France. M. TIII ERS complained that while he was endeavouring to hoodwink the Four Powers, he was himself de ceived by. M. GuizoT, who concealed his opinions, and ditl not inform hint with sufficient accuracy of what was taking place in London. M. GuizoT contended that it was no part of his duty, as an Ambassad6r, to indicate to the President of the Council the line of policy whiCh he ought to pur sue, and that to the strict discharge of his diplo matic duties he carefully .. confined himself. Per sonalities, wretched at all times, but especially so on so great an occasion, formed the staple of orations i‘ ionso i. f which all Europe is an attentive TIMERS, however, contrived to startle . the Cham7 her at last. Driven to it by exclamations on all sides, he .proclaimed that the object of his policy was either to obtain a modificatiOn of the Treaty of-July, or to make war on Europe. En couraged by the cheers from the Left which fol lowed this announcement, the Ex-President of the Council repeated that his object was to convulse Europe. M. VILLEMAIN, the Minister of Public Instruction, disposed of this clap-trap by stating it as his conviction that M. Tin ERS never really in tended to make war—a conviction in which we en tirely participate. M. THIERs can now play the Bobadil with safety, and as his re:urn to office is rendered impossible by the disclosures which have ‘.aken place, he has no resource left but to throw 'lnstil into the arms of the malcontents. We have good reason to believe, and to assert, whatever may have been the Tory practices in bye gone ages, that it never was the intention of Mi nisters to make a bievet promotion at the birth of a Royal heir, whether male or female. Such a preposterous scheme, however currently re ported by those who desire promotion, and promulgated by discontented officers through the pages of Military Gazettes and Naval Jour nals, was never contemplated by the present Ministers, and they must feel extremely grateful to the Times for having, though it had no such in- ention, defended them from the keen and bitter re- preaches of " gentlemen dissatisfied and despond ing," because they do not, when their services are comparatively little in demand, obtain such rapid promotion as they expect. Already sundry news papers in the warrior, if not in the war interest, had begun to sound the trumpet of defiance to the Whigs for not making a large brevet, because the sex of the Royal infant was female, when the Tinws boldly steps forth and meets the defiance with its own brazen throat, and loudly proclaims that no such brevet ought to take place, and that certain discontented officers must wait till the country needs tea Set %ACTS. The article did more than defend the Whigs—it gave, by the principle of the discussion, a severe slap to the Turks. " Look at the origin and in tention of an institution, and act conformably thereto ; consult reason, not custom, and yon will do right," was the principle which pervaded our Contemporary's remarks. But when did the Torie s act on that principle To go no further than the two services mentioned, did they not, throughout the whole of their career, job the navy and job the al my, making both mere instruments to serve Par mentary rurposes, forgetting the use to which they were destined, till they overwhelmed both services with an immense number of the sons and depen dents of the aristocracy, beating the name of offi urs. Before the close of the war both services had more officers than could ever be employed, and in the navy there were three or four times as many as could ever go to sea. Many persons were then, in defiance of decency, and to the per venion of a noble service, pensioned on the coun- Jy. By the Tory practices, unhappily more easily followed than avoided, the country is now burdened with an immense dead-weight, while, if our infor - - illation be correct, there is in reality a scarcity of active and youthful officers ; and, were a war to break out, a very extensive promotion must We refer our readers, with sorrow, to the decision of the Judges in the Court of Queen's Bench on Saturday, in the case of Mr. BAINES. He is ordered back to prison, where he must remain till relieved by some unknown band, or by an Act of Parliament. The Judges have done their duty— they have decided according to the la .v of the land—that law which the Duke of WELLINGTON, with the support and cordial approbation of the Bishops, passed last Session, against conscientious Dissenters. We trust yet to make even the heads of the Church ashamed of it. take place to procure commanders for I our fleets not actually in their dotage. Here and there a veteran like Admiral STOPFORD may be found verging on, or perhaps above, 70 years of age, with vigour sufficient to fulfil his ar duous duties, but it is scarcely safe to rely on such duties being properly fulfilled by men after they have passed their 50th year. Captains and Ad mirals should be comparatively young, and the Tory practice, during the war, of multiplying officers, is now found to be most injurious. those who:plufillphyiet of the i dinnersrsiocr:r liritlaolitt.oltioeror,_ itsu.ltie,c ensos poorr of a SABBATH LABOOR.---Tile State priesthood ere UC urgent with Government not to desecrate the Sabbath.

It ascribes to. the Act the power of the Catholics, for that the ~t hem. .,ria n imperial character. 1 The view taken b y the i ri ' h lest s is, we believe, dif ferent, and the difference between. the English and Irish Catholics may make b attainment of repeal far less easy than Mr. O'Connell professes to believe. We have received numerous letters giving accounts of the meetings of Magistrate!, and other public func tionaries, to celebrate the birth of a P r i ncess R oya l , and to congratulat e her Majesty on her safe delivery. But the joy is universal, and It would b e super fl uous. the account o f one meet ing describes the w hole. tiee th • therefore, to do more than no c fact. This brevet promotion needs, however, some fur ther consideration. We never heard before of a navy brevet, and apprehend that the term is inap plicable. At any rate there is a wide distinction between the army and navy. The army officer purchases his commission, and can buy his promotion. * The naval officer receives every step gratuitously, and it is supposed to be, and ought to be, the reward of services and met it. All the officers of the navy, till they attain the rank of post - captain, arc so promoted, and when they have attained that .rank they rise by seniority, and no one is promoted over the head of another, though one may be employed and favoured, and another neglected and laid aside. Having no other means of getting forward but the patronage of the Admiralty, ail the officers of the navy look exclusively to it and the Throne for their advance ! went, and a general pro►notion on various occa sions, such as the accession of a new Sovercig or the return of his birth-day, was a common occur , mice under the Tories, however little, on the pull ciple of the Times, to be justified. In the army, the officers, up to a certain grade, rise, or may, by the help of money ; and the Com mander-in-Chief has only a limited number of com missions at hi s di sposa l. H av i ng i nterest at t h e H orse Guards, or b e i ng down in the black-book, may facilitate or retard promotion ; but, except in a very limited number of cases, if a man have not money to purchase commissions, he remains a subordinate officer. Now, bad as a general promotion in the navy may be, when not strictly required for the good of the service, a brevet promotion in the army is much worse, because it must include a great num ber of persons who have obtained their commissions m service, but by purchase. They may be not b skilLl, inefficient ; but a brevet, which includes all, must promote these, as well as worthy valuable officers. If there be such in the navy, the fault lies with the Admiralty ; but when a man can pur chase his promotion, there may be such in the army without the Horse-Guards being t o bl ame.

Some of our merchants having accepted easier terms, a few &des have been effected, but the general character of the mar ket is an indisposition to buy more than is actually wanted, and a reluctance on the part of the importers to sell at pre sent market rates, in the confidence of a reaction whenever the d, tnar.d may imprcvc. It is more than probable that the depressed state of the refining trade will decide this suspense against the merchants.—BriAol Mercury. In the Common Pleas on Saturday, its the case of Donaldson v. Viers. which was an action brought to recover the sum of 63 . 2/ 25., alleged to be due as per cent age upon sales effzeted for the defendant by th plaintiff it, the management of the former's business, as watch dealer and jewell:r in Pall-mall, the plaintiff's case was that he entered the defendant's service as foreman and shopkeeper, at a salary of 21 per week in January, 1830. In consequence of the improvement of the trade under his management, his salary was increased to 21. 10.. per week, the plaintiff agreeing to give him also a premium of ono per cent on all sales. In two years more the re ceipts had increased from 3,0001 per annum to upwards of 9,0001., and in 1834 the defendant agreed to allow him two per cent. Towards the end of 1839, diff.rences arose between the parties, and the defendant was dismissed, having in the ccurse of nine years drawn only 190/ on account of the per tentage. The defence was that no such agreement had ever existed, and that the plaintiff being liberally remunerated by his salary of 2/. 105. a week, improperly overdrew 1901. without the plaintiff's knowledge, and out of the funds passing through his hands in the confidential character of his situation. There was no direct evidence of the agreement. The Jury, after a lengthened consultation found for the plaintiff. Da mages 100/ MONUMENT TO THE MEMORY OF MRS.

Yesterday morning about four o'clock, at which time the metropolis was en veloped in one of the most dense fogs known for many years, a fire of a very destructive and alarming description broke out on the premises, No. 16, Rotherhithe-wall, Rntherhithe, in the occupation of Mr. Beasley, baker, and ended in the destruction, not only of Mr. B.'s premises, but those adjoining, inflicting also damage on many others to a serious extent. At seven o'clock it was subdued, and, shortly after completely put out. The premises of Mr.' Beasley and Mr. Cross are totally burned down, but they arc insured in the Imperial and Phoenix, The Dover Castle, the houses of Mr. Adams, cheesemonger, Mr. Field, surgeon, and Mr. Giles, baker, are also much in jured. They are insured. The cause of the fire is not known.

Many benevolent. Medway on the even o towards the comfort of their unfortunate relatives. We believe it is now fully understood that no b reve t will take place in the army or navy. The birth of , princes or Princess can offer no justifiable reason for a ge vcral promotion, when the exigencies of the public service do not require such an addition to the national burthcns as would be entailed by such a promotion. The Queen Dowager arrived in town on Satur day; and, as it is understood that th e infant Princess Royal is to receive the names of " Aclelaide Victoria' Louisa," there seems good ground to suppose that her Majesty will :, be one of the godmothers when the interesting ceremony _. ~.. of the baptism shall take place.
