LONDON: FRIDAY, AUGUST 7, 1840. .ENGLAND, FRANCE, AND THE EASTERN QUESTION. I/ in the Hou se o f C ommons , l ast n i g ht, Mr. 444 tE afforded the Noble Foreign Secretary an onn rron,unity of making one of the most gratifying s p ee ches to the country which Lord PALNIER 31°N has .delivered since the opening of Parlia ta,ent. The Honourable Member f o r Kilkenny ; wfi n Was the first to question the Noble Lord about the existence of a treaty between England, Itus sia, A ustr i a, an d P russ i a, f or the settle ment of the Eastern question without the con currence _r France, moved last night for a of Copy of t h at Treaty, which he descr ib e d fur repl ete with danger to the peace of the lu cid, N o wor d s of ours would do to lu cid, manly, an d statesmanlike explanation ° f : r u e Noble L or d . There was no shuffling—no af ectation of diplomatic reserve, on the part of his ,L 54lBlli P• He came f orwar d b oldly, and avowed in , bil mle face of the Great Powers, that upon all points one,upon every question but that of the ad juNntent of the dispute between the SULTAN and t li e VICEROY-_the symp a thi es o f t h e G overnment , 1( e those o f t h e British people, were strongly and neeidedly in f avour o f the Anglo-French al liance. Confident of the great impression 'which this speech will produce upon the li4 l , bi le mind, no t on l y o f E ng l and and ra nce, but of Europe, we beg to call particular latte ntirtu to the following extract, which we recom illield to the notice of those who may not have time tv wade through the debate. That it will create a ea e° , lll Plete rea c ti on i n t h e course so unfortunately taken of late toy the French press, we cannot doubt eVeri for an instant. On the contrary, we feel assured `that there are few/ of the respectable French jour n4lB but will feel ashamed of the part they have tak en in exciting st vulgar and mischievous war-cry a g ai nst a Government and a people so friendly dis- Posed towards them as are the Government and People of Great Britain and Ireland. The follow- CS th e extract from Lord PALMERSTON'S li Peeh tiWith respect to the Convention to which the ti °I I. Memb er h as referred, I admit that negotia vnue are i n progress, and have considerably ad .,anced ; but t h e Hon. Member must be aware, that until ratifications have been exchanged by the (1 Iffe rent Po wers who are parties thereto, the Con ventioncan be o f no force or value. It has never `b e en: th e practice pending negotiations to lay a ..t; e arrives l o uvention b e f ore Parliament. When the proper shall have no objection lay that treaty before the House.—(l- Hear, whatever to With regard to the allegations of the Honourable Gentleman that our present p o li cy i s ca l cu l ate d to bri ng about a breach with France, I beg distinctly t,.° say th at i t never was the intention of the British governmentlie to abandon that alliance, which I be ve to be m a i n l y conducive to the interest of the 4vv,o c ountries, an d to the maintenance of the gone- Peace of Europ e ticul . Although on t h e present par occasion on one part, but an important pal t, of a great European question, there has been a diffe rence of opinion with France,w hich has prevented that Pcwer from associating herself for the purposes of establishing the Convention now in progress, yct I trust, and I speak with a well-grounded hope and confidence, that this temporary difference of views is not likely to operate upon the general views and feelings of the two countries, and will not shake those recollections which have been founded on the long-enduring and permanent interests of the two countries, and that it will not lead to any alienation, much less to anything like a hostile feeling, be tween two countries having so many interests in common. No endeavour has been wanting on our part to bring about a union of views with France, and negotiations have been upwards of twelve months pending on the subject. Between this. country and France the same feeling and desire ex ists to maintain the integrity and independence of the Turkish empire under the existing dynasty ; we never had any difference of opinion on that point. France has declared that she considers the mainte nance of the independence of Turkey as essential to the preservation of the general peace of Europe, and has declared her determination to support it by every means of influerl.2e and action in her power. These are also the intentions of Great Britain, but there is a difference as to the tendency of particular measures. lam justified, therefore, in say ing that a temporary difference in details can not lay the foundation for any permanent or essential alienation between the two coun tries. On the other hand the policy of the Hon. Member for Kilkenny would have in directly a tendency to lead to the dismemberment of th e Turkish empire. His object is to establish a third part of it under a separate sovereignty. Being weakened by that dismemberment, and endangered by her proximity to the neighbourhood of so formidable a rival, she would look necessarily for external support—not from France, not from England, but necessarily and naturally from Russia, and the tendency would be to place the Sultan in a state of such weakness and danger as would compel him to look for assistance from that Power, and we all know the price a weak Power has to pay to a strong one for its protection.—(Hear, hear, hear.) With regard to the treaty of Unkiar Skelessi, the policy of her Majesty's Government has accomplished the object of inducing the Russian Government to come to the understanding that if that treaty is found to interfere with the general arrangements of the Four Powers, it will give up the treaty of Un kiar Skelessi. I regret that we have had any differences with France, but our communications, since then, with France, has led us to the strongest conviction that there is no foundation for the impression so studiously endeavoured to be spread through the public mind in England, that France entertains hostile feelings towards the Powers engaged in these arrangements ; and I trust and believe that the momentary difference of opinion between us is not likely to lead to any un toward results. France is a great and powerful nation. France has great interests of her own. France is governed by men who are much too wise and too enlightened to be led rashly and wan tonly, and without provocation, to disturb the peace of Europe ; and I am conscious that there has not entered into the minds of the people the slightest feeling of hostility— they are conscious that England is desirous of making common cause with her, and altogether I have good reasons for saying that Iby no means participate in the apprehensions of the Hon- Member for. Kilkenny. The objects, means, and motives of Great Britain have been explicitly stated to France, and I believe that my Hon. Friends and myself have satisfied that country as to the en lightened nature of our views. The course we have thought it our duty to pursue is, in my opinion the best calculated to prevent the unfortunate events that have lately taken place in the Levant becoming seriously injurious to the general peace of Europe." The Lords met yesterday for the dispatch of business at Five o'Clock. The Consolidated Fund Bill and the Exchequer Bills Bill went through a Committee. Several Bills were brought up from the Commons by Mr. BERNAL, after which Lord DU CANNON moved the Order of the Day for going into Committee on the Shrewsbury and Holyhead Road Bill. The Marquis of SALISBURY complained of the sys tem of introducing so many Bills just before the proro gation of the House, when their provisions could not be properly considered. This is an old co►nplaint with the country. At the opening of a Session their Lordships either do not take the trouble to meet at all, or they meet only to impede the business of legislation. In the Commons, too, the time which ought to be devoted to the examination of Bills, and the performance of the proper functions of a Legislative Assembly, is spent in talking and speech-making, and at the close of the session Bills, which have scarcely been read carefully by five Members, are huddled together and passed in a mari ner so slovenly as to reflect disgrace upon Parliament. Hence it follows that out of ten Public Acts, on an average, passed in a session, five cannot continue four months in operation without requiring a new Biil to explain and amend some of their faulty and obscure provisions. On the motion of the Noble Marquis for committing the Bill before the House that day three months, a division took place, when the motion was lost by a majority of 1-23 votes being given for, and 24 against it. The Bill, therefore, notwithstanding the latcntss of the session went through a Committee. Lord LYNDHULET presented two petitions from the Merchants pf London and Birmingham, praying that her MAJESTY'S Government would use their influence obtain the independence of the Republic of Cracow. The Noble and Learned Baron laid great stress on the tact, that one of the petitioners was DANIEL O'CoNNELL--1 1 circumstance which he conceived would have great w ,7i,c,E•ht with Ministers, whose director he had heard the Hon. an Learned Gentleman called. When DANIEL O'CONNELL signed the petition to the Lords, we scarcely imagine that he expected it would be intrusted for presentation to Lord LyNDIiURsT. His Lordship also presented a petition signed by 0,000 of the Operatives of Glasgow, and from the Merchants of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, praying for the dismissal of Ministers. The petitioners entered into a very wide field of complaint against the Whigs. They asserted that they had broken all their promises of retrenchment and reform at home, and that they had mismanaged everything abroad. In the East they were playing the game of Russia ; they had been duped by Naples ; they had provoked an unjust war with China, and a rebel lion in the Canadas. We have great respect for the opinions of the Operatives - upon subjects which they understand, but when they allow them selves to be made the tools of Messrs. URQUHART and CARGILL'S discontent with Ministers, we can only pity such stupid folly. Lori MELBOURNE observed that the petition would serve the Noble and Learned Baron instead of the usual recriminatory speech at the close of the Session. He was prepared to meet any of the charges preferred in the petition, whenever brought forward. The style indicated the authorship of the petition, though he (Lord MELBOURNE) did not say that Lord LYND. HURST was the author. Lord LYNDHURST, in explanation, disclaimed the authorship ; but he did not say that the petitions were not manufactured by the gentlemen to whom we hare attributed them. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY complimented the Government on abandoning the French alliance, quoted t he Edinburgh Review, and disagreed with the peti tioners in deprecating the alliance with tic Emperor NicHor.A.i, whom the .Noble Marquis described as ae " MOST UPRIGIIT, HONEST, ACCOMPLISHED, AND PIOUS STATESMAN IN THE WORLD ! " How a few personal fivours conferred by an Emperor can pervert the moral sense even of a British Peer I Toe piety of the destroyer of Poland.—of the ruthless butcher who dragged infants from their mothers' arms, that their little bones might whiten the toad to Siberia —the bigot who _dragged Catholic priests from the inth of every act of cel e b rat i ng the m o st altarared while mysteriestheir religi on , an d sent then) to e wo rk in the mines for life, for daring to disobey an • Ukase commanding them to embrace the tenets of the Greek Church ! The heart tickrns at such a mockery. Lord BRGUGIIAM, in explanation 01 whit fell from him 0n a former evening relative to the Vrennh an), E ng li s h A h lli4oce, observed that what he had sa id was, stiillaotuldhetesnldiotuoldrnot s?eeply lament anything whi c h shake, and I;titi 4,4,1'3 to interruPt, t h e good understanding between England and 7rnoce, Iwhich happily fpr so many years had prevailed, iiiid, prevailing, had promo(' the peace of the world. Lord DUNCAN-NW:I moved 02 Order of the Day for the consideration of the Commons' amendments on the Irish MI nieipal Bill. On the motion of Lord LYND HURST SeVera: of the amendments were rejected. After a few words from the Marquis of LANDSDOWNE, L BROUGHAM, and the Duke of WELLINGTON, the per- port or - which Was that it would be necessary to amend the Ed! in the next Session, a Committee was appointed to hold a conference with the Commons on the rejected amendments. Some other Bills were then advanced a stage, after which the Report of the Select Committee on the Clergy Reserves (Canada) Bill was received, and the Bill read a third time and passed. The Joint Stock Banks Bill was read a third time, and an amendment proposed, by Lord LY N DIIU RST, ordered to be taken into consideration this day. On the motion of Lord DUNCANNON the further con sideration of the Report of the Select Committee on► the Ec . clesiastical Bill was agreed to. The Bishops of EXETER and WINCHESTER presented several petitions against the Bill. The Bishop of EXETER moved a pro viso for excepting the deanery of his diocese from the operation of the Bill, which was rejected on a a divi sicn by 31 votes against 21. The Bishop of SALIS BURY then moved the following amendment :—" That, upon the representation of the Bishop of the diocese, such stipend, not exceeding 201., to each of the non residentiary prebendaries, as the said Commissioners should deem fit." On a division the votes were equal, and the amendment, according to the rules of the House, lost. After some other amendments were pro posed and rejected, the all was passed. The Railways Bill was advanced a stage, and the Austrian Treaties Bill read a third time and passed. The Ecclesiastical Courts Bill was tead a second time ; after which their Lordships adjourned, at Eleven o'Clock. The SPEAKER took the Chair yesterday at Four o'Clock. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL presented a petition from Mr. COEBETT, son of the celebrated author of the Register, on Chancery Reform. Mr. HAWES and Mr. THORNELY gave notice that next Session they would move for leave to bring in several Bills , for which see report. Mr. HUME asked when the papers relative to the Rajah of SATTARA were to be laid before the House. Sir JOHN HOBHOUSE said the papers were very vo luminous, but the Hon. Gentleman was at liberty to take copies of them. On the motion of the ATTORNEY-GENERAL tie Court of Chancery Bill was read a third time and passed. The Order of the Day for the third reading of she In fant Felons Bill being react, several amendments were pro posed, and a long discussion took place, in which Mr. LANGDALE, Lord J. RUSSELL. and several other mem bers took a part. The Bill was finally read a third time and passed by a majority of 49 against 9. Mr. AGLIONBY'S amendment on the case of FEARGus O'CoNNoa was lost by a large majority, and the debate allowed to drop. Mr. HUME asked whether it was true, as reported in the Inclia papers received yesterday, that the Russians had entered Khiva. Sir J. HOBILOUSE did not believe that there was a word of truth in the statement. _ _ Mr. HUME then moved for a copy of the treaty agreed to by the Four Powers for the settlement of the Eastern question. The ansNer of Lord PALMERSTON, which was most conclusive and satisfactory, we have no ticed in another column, to which we refer our readers. Mr. BRISCOE said that but one opinion existed throughout the country as to the desirableness of the alliance with France. He had the fullest confidence. in the Noble Secretary, whose policy entitled him to the gratitude of the country. Mr: HUME'S motion was then withdrawn, and after the other Orders of the Day were disposed of the House adjourned at Eight o'C.ock. A pamphlet from the Bishop of EXETER is so much a thing of course, that nobody takes any no tice of it. In pamphlets Dr. PHILPOTTS lives, moves, and has his being. Had there been no such things as pamphlets, there would have been no HENRY EXETER. That the Right Reverend Father should have the itch of pamphleteering strong upon him, is natural ; and it is to us a sub ject of interesting speculation to trace, in its various manifestations, the working of the "ruling passion" which POPE has assigned as an attribute to every human being. We recollect CANNING making admirable use of a sign-painter's inordidate attachment to red lions, in one of his wittiest and most dexterous speeches against Parliamentary- Reform, and its pertinacious supporters. Whatever topic of con versation was introduced, the knight of the brush always contrived to get an opportunity of descant ing on the merits of red lions, and whenever he was employed to paint a signboard, whatever migh t be the device fixed upon by the proprietor, it was sure, by hook or by crook, to come from under his hand a glaring red lion. So it is with the Bishop of EXETER. It is a perfect study to observe the way in which, on all occasions, the natural bent of his Lordship's mind towards pamphlets developes itself—delightful to watch the various little artifices, the skilful manoeuvring to which he has recourse, in order to make way lor the publication of a brochure. A political opponent is drawn into a correspondence, or a brother Bishop is provoked to let fly a retort upon OLD TOBY ; the temptation is irresistible. 111 spite of every consideration which should operate upon the mind of a reflecting person, out comes a ridiculous pamphlet. Our readers have not forgotten that a night or two ago there was, if not a regular " set to," a little bit of a scrimmage on the Right Rev. Bench. The Bishop of EXETER owing his brother of LONDON a grudge, first, because he is a much cleverer fellow than himself ; and next, because in a Char g e published two years ago, he had made some allusions to his (TOBY's) tergiversation on the subject of Church Reform, made an onslaught upon CHARLES JAMES, and not only upon him, but upon the Primate of all England, accusinlz these Most Reverend and Right Reverend per sonages of having committed perjury in sanctioning the breaking up of the Cathedral establishments, w hich they had sworn to protect. The accused parties repelled the charge, the one with his characteristic mildness and good temper, the other with no less characteristic virtues of an opposite description, and both hinted that the charge came not with a peculiarly good grace from one who had recommended changes much more radical than any proposed by them. "Oh, ho 1" exclaims OLD TOBY, " if this is the way that I am to be treated, I'll publish a pamphlet." And sure enough here it is already lying before us. It is rather to ToßY's credit as a Church reformer, but it tells awfully against his consistency in opposing the reforms proposed in the Ecclesiastical Revenues Bill. It consists of a correspondence between him and the Primate, and between him and Sir R. PEEL, during the interlude in which Sir ROBERT acted as Premier in the beginning of 1835. We have not room for large extracts, but we cannot resist quot ing the following passage from the plan submitted to the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, by the Right Rev. Pamphleteer., who is now so dreadfully scan dalised at the attempt to make the Cathedral funds available to the general and best interests of the Church " In looking to the great revenues of the Chapter of Durham, it may be well to consider whether that body may not fairly be required (preserving vested interests) to make these revenues more available to the general in terests of the Church. " Besides a share in the general dividend, which to every Prebendary, notwithstanding the liberal charges lately in curred for establishing the University, and augmenting small livings, is on the average more than 1,0001 per annum, there is also assigned to the Dean and every Pre bendary a separate estate in laud, and in tithes, not leased but let from year to year. These estates are considerable. The Dean's, in particular, is very large; 4,0001. or 5,0001. per annum. Those of the Prebendaries average probably 700/ per mown. " Now, it will probably be considered sufficient, in the case of future incumbents, to leave to thew only their share of the common dividend. The peculiar estates, the corpses, as they are called, of the deanery and stalls, might be employed in endowing poor benefices with cu re o f sou l s . As there would be a suns of 12,000 l or 13 000/ . per 021911171, very important good might be r.ffected by it. In part ieu tar it might be specially applicrl ti endow thirty or forty bene fices is populous manufacturing districts in Yothshire and Lancashire, reserving the patronage of the bent flees so created to the Chapter, whose funds endow the same. .. In all cases of Chapters it may be right to provile that they be not allewed to leese, any tithes belonging to them, without making a reserve of such a payment to the Vicar or perpetual Curate, as shall make the income Of the vicarage or perpetual curacy at least 2001. per annum, with a lioue, to be provided under Gilbert's Act ; en d i n cesee of great population still more. •'ln those Ch T iers l ehich are meinly endo we d w i th tithes it might be advis t'ele to reduce the number of Canons, rather than forego this important e t provision. Tk i‘; ..e;pte e of Windsor has, in the diocese of E x eter alone, at least a dzeidennyce among eryemal tin o, of s i livings (with ‘ii e itlr i Ithescarcely of i Chapter h as t h e great tithes. The consequence of laying the 17rJp ese e charge on the Chapter of Windsor would probably be such a deduction of its revenues es might render neces sary a reducticu of the number of its Canons. A similar consequence may follow in other cases. But it appears to i be absolutely necessary, for the favourable estimation of Chapters in general, that they be nowhere felt to be the cause of an adequate endowment of a cure of souls. With respect to Prebends not having seats in any Chapter, of which in several of the old Dioceses there are many, it may be fairly questioned whether their continu ance is at all desirable. Their revenues or, the next va cancies might be applied, without invadlfig the fair rights or reasonable expectations of the lessees, to other useful purposes. The tithes held under them might sill! be leased ( with a strict attention, however, to the provision made in the case of Chapters, viz., that every lease of tithes, be longing to a Prebend, shall reserve such a sum to be paid to the incumbent as shall make his income at least 2001. per annum, with a house, provided if necessary by Gil bert's Act). " With this exception, both the tithes and lands belong ing to these Prebends might be leased, on ordinary terms, to the present lessees, and the fee might vest for that put.. pose in the Chapter or Archdeacon, who might be required to pay the fine to a fund, which, under the direction of the Bishop (who is all cases patron of these stalls), might pro. vide for the endowment or augmentation of benefices with cure of souls which are in need. " Any particular cases might be provided for by parti cular enactments. " At Exeter, where arc fifteen Prebends without any corpsrs, receiving 201. per annum each, the income of them as they fall in might be assigned by the Bishop in aid of Curates or Assistants." So much for the Bishop of EXETER'S forbear ance towards the Cathedral Establishments in 1E335. There was no harm, then, in endowing new Churches at their expense. His plan for increas ing the small livings is not less radical in its fea tures. It consists in the sale of advowsons in the gift of the Crown, of ecclesiastical, or of lay corpo rations, and the application of the proceeds to the further endowment of the livings, with the option, in certain cases, to the possessors of the advowson, to augment the benefice to a certain amount I The extreme despondency —not to say, absolute despair—of the C onservative party, was never more fircibly exhibited than in a leading article which appeared in the Morning Herald ofyesterday. After fighting the battles of faction throughout the ses sion, with more or less spirit and perseverance, our Contemporary seems now at length to be quite hope less of success, and strongly disposed to fling down his arms, and surrender at discretion. "It were far better," he tells us, " that what is styled the Conservative party, should be at once broken up, than that all the best in terests of Conservatism should be in succession betrayed 'Ay those who are the reputed champions in Church and State, of the Conservative cause." Here is a pretty confession of treachery in the Opposition camp i There is no reserve—no equi vocation—our Contemporary goes the whole hog, and boldly assures` us that the Tory champions are no better than political Judases I We believe him, for he knows them right well, and only speaks the truth from an excess of the conscientious. With regard to the break-up which he recom mends, we agree with him that it would be quite as well that the Conservatii e faction should be so got rid of ; but we are by no means solicitous to press the matter just now, convinced, as we are, that events are daily precipitating this " consummation devoutly to be wished." When—i n addition to the teachers of their leaders—we see the Tory Bishop of EXETER at loggerheads with the Tory Arch hishop of' CANTERBURY; and the PEEL section of the faction refusing to march through Coventry with the STANLEY section of the faction ; and this, nct because they disagree on minor points, but on momentous questions, involving their very existence as an influential party ;—when we see these strong symptoms of disunion among the Tories, we may fairly enough . conclude that the break-up advised by the Morning Herald is, at no distant date, inevitable ; and may fold our arms and await the event with perfect composure. The times, in deed, are unpropitious for the spread of Tory in fluence. The faction's stock in trade is used up, and the nation has issued a fiat of bankruptcy against it. In other words, we have outgrown our reverence for Mother Church ; have ceased to look on new gaols and barracks in the light of social blessings ; and have lost all faith in coercive sys tems or Government. Our " ignorant impatience" of taxation, too, is more remarkable than it was even in the days of CASTLEREAGH, when it so strongly excited his Lordship's disgust and astonishment. Such being the case, we agree with the Morning Herald, that the cause of Toryism is hopeless. It may struggle on for a time, but it will never reach the wished-for goal, but die, like MOSES on Mount Pisgah, with its eyes fixed on the Promised Land of office. The public have been somewhat disappointed by not receiving, with the overland mail from India, more news than the Bombay and Calcutta papers communicate relative to the expedition against China. Confident of the success of our arms, our merchants are impatient for accounts of victories, which shall for ever establish our reputation for prowess at the Court of Peking, and thus open for us new avenues for commercial intercourse with the most powerful and populous nation of the East. We do not participate in this impatient feeling. The more time that is allowed to China to prepare for the coining storm, the greater will be the effect which it must produce. Nor are we to suppose that the time consumed in preparation wasted of such an expedition by the Indian Government has l rd tAUCKLANDthe command and f the been in t Gallant Admiralr,ifl u s po . n N L v1 : :o! , n the expedition has been conferred, must he sensible that half - measures will no longer do with the Chinese. 'rite time has come I when we must eithe r strike an effectual blow one which can never be blotted out of the annals of the Celestial Empire— or quit China altogether, b y which we shall invite a thousand fresh conspiracies against our dominion in India. Merely to force ° the passage of the Bogue, to level the fortresses on the banks of the river, and to effect a landing at Canton, will not suffi ciently assert the supremacy of British acy ever temporary concession s the Chinese authorities may offer to make. Such a display of force must Court ' be made as shall startle th e of Peking, and for ever impress upon the Government the salutary lesson that it must respect the rights of foreigners, and especially of British merchants, if it would escape the fate of the once potent Sovereigns of Hindostan. Tl • is the ' ' This lent authority, Mr. DAVIS, late Avis, late Chief Commi s . sioner in China, whose long residence in that coun try afforded him facilities, of which he availed himself, of writing one of the most instructive accounts of China and its inhabitants ever pub lished. In a new edition of this work, just published by KNIGHT, Mr. DAVIS brings dow n the history of British intercourse with China to the termination of the engagement between the ti ya .. cinth, Volage, and the Chinese war junks, on the 3d of November, 1839; and he does not hesitate to declare that the humanity which on that occasion induced Captain SMITH to spare Admiral KNVA N' s discomfited squadron will be found to operate inj u . riously upon the minds of the Chinese, who always attribute such generosity not to greatness of mi n d , but to cowardice. Had Captain SMITH sent the whole squadron to the bottom, as he migh t b easily have done, Admiral ELLIOT would have expe rienced very little trouble in bringing tile Govern ment to its senses. But, from some fatality or other, ever since the unfortunate expedition of Admiral DRURY, in 1808, to the attack on the war junks in 1839, indecision has marked every ex hibition of British prowess in the CI • unese waters. Like the fabled miser in the Eastern tale whose heart failed him as often as th e realization of all his wishes was within his reach, till at last he perished the victim of an invincible timidit ' i es of the all the representatives British Government at Canton, have, since the abov e per i od, evinced a timid caution equa ll y pernicious and unaccountable, when it was of the first importance that they should t ley should have displayed all the fearlessness and energy of the British character. We presume no t to have more than a general idea of the course which. isthe expedi t i on will adopt, and the discussio n of plansnot alw a y s the best their execution. W way to promote We would only here observe, that the efficacy of the expedition will not be established by any concessions made to British merchants trading at Canto n only. To make our triumph b e neficial, it will be the duty of our Government to compel the Emperor to permit our ships to trad e _ with A moy , Ningpo, and one or two other cities on the Chi nesethat we lay any s t ress coast. Not . on the ad vantages to be gamed by such a n extension of the trade in a mere commercial point of V i e ,. On tiie •neither at Amoy norNingpo contrary, merchants be able to dispose of a single bale of goods. But the permission to send ships to these the fact of places viNuld establishour triumph, and we would derive from it in our future intercourso with the Chinese all the moral influence of a com plete victory. The occupancy of a part of the Island of For- mosa by a British garrison has been mooted and ridiculed. We think such an undertaking quite practicable, and no better time for executing it ever occurred than the present. Formosa is by far the finest island on the coast of China, and is sufficiently near the Canton river to afford protection to British trade without unnecessarily alarming the Provincial Government. Having been previously occupied by the Dutch, and de clared an independent kingdom by the gallant pirate KASHINGA, the Celestial Government would be careful to represent it as forming an ap pendage rather than a part of the Chinese empire : and the payment, if deemed requisite, of a small annual sum into the Imperial Treasury, would pass current for a tribute which would save the credit of the Chinese Government among its own subjects. In throwing out these remarks, we have no other object than to quiet the public mind, and to indicate what appears to us the safest line of policy for this country, though looking at first sight somewhat hazardous. To be respected by the Chinese it is necessary that we teach them to fear us. When we have convinced them of our power to injure them, it will not be hard to impress them with an idea of our high civilization, in declining to employ it to their prejudice. As conquerors only will they accord to us the posses. sion of a single virtue. Not only the interests of Great Britain, but those of every nation trading with China, require that the expedition now destined to act against China should act with a vigour unpa ralleled in the annals of European warfare in that part of the East. We beg the particular attention of our readers to the extracts from the provincial press, respecting the rights of Sir AuGusTus D'ESTE, which ap pear in our paper of this day, and which want cf space has prevented us from inserting sooner. We shall only add, that we might have halt filled our columns with articles of a similar description. The Madrid Papers are of the 29th ult. On the 4th instant the two QUEENS were to leave Barcelona, but it was not known whether they would visit Navarre and the Basque Provinces or return direct to the capital. Some unfortunate disturbances had taken place at Barcelona, the de tails of which will be found elsewhere. The capital was tranquil. The Funds continued to rise. The Five per Cents. were done at 272 for cash. The French Journals of Wednesday confirm the accounts previously received of the pacification of Syria. The following telegraphic despatches on this subject are quoted from the official columns of the Moniteur: " Marseilles, Aug. 3, Nine o'Clock in the Afternoon. " THE CHIEF OF THE MARINE SERVICE TO THE MINISTER OF THE NAVY. " The Minos arrived this afternoon from Malta, tl►rec days after her time. The Captain of the Scaninnire wrote from Syra on the 21st ult., and confirmed the intelligence of the pacifi cation of Syria, as well as the return of the Egyptian fleet to Alexandria." " Marseilles, August 4, Half-past Four, A. M. " Alexandria, July 27. " THE FRENCH CONSUL TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE CDUNCIL. " Mehemet Ali has communicated officially to the cor!- sular body, that he has received a despatch announcing the conclusion of the insurrection at Lebanon. " The Turkish fleet which had been sent to the coast of Syria returned to Alexandria the day Wrote yesterday. " The Papist, with M. Perrier on board, arrived at Alex andria the same day." A more detailed account, together with the cir cular of MEIIEMET ALI to the Consuls-General at Alexandria will be found in another column. His Highness, however, does not inform the Con suls that the mountaineers only surrendered on the condition of being allowed to retain their arms, and on receiving the guarantees of the French and English Consular Agents at Beyrout that the Egyptian Government would fulfil all the pledges made to them. Yet such, we arc credibly informed, has been the fact. The tone of the Paris Journals of Wednesday, on the Eastern question, continues moderate. The Constitutionnel denies that the French press has threatened Europe, and says that France relies as much upon her principles as upon the strength of her military and maritime force. In the same Mi nisterial organ the complaint against Lord PAL MERSTON, of not communicating more freely with France, is renewed. '[ha more that is said of this In the Paris Papers the more we become convinced that the only wound has been inflicted on the self-love of M. THIERS. But for a perfect jus tification of Lord PALMERSTON'S conduct we again refer our susceptible Contemporaries, and the French nation, to his Lordship's excellent speech, on Thursday, in the House of Commons. M. THIERS may learn from it that extreme delicacy and the nicest regard to the etiquette observable between friendly Powers, suggested the very line of conduct which has unwittingly given offence to certain members of the French Government, and the whole of the French Press. --- The mad attempt of Prince Lours NAPOLEON upon Boulogne has created a great stir at Paris. The details will be found in another part of The Sun. Admi►al Duperre left Paris yesterday to take the command of the united squadrons of Rear Admirals Lalande, Hugon, and La Susse. We have news from Naples of the 24th July. The first effect of the conclusion of an arrangement between Naples and England has been the return to Malta of the English squadron, which was to blockade the ports of the Two S'cilies. Thanks to the happy result of our intervention, Great Britain recovered the free use of several ships of the line, and we lose the aid of the Neapolitan navy in case of a conflict. &sides this, the convention for the sale of sulphur by a French house is abolished, and we lose the opportunity which it would have afforded of extending the commerce and the influence of Franca in Sicily.--Le Commerce. BRUSSELS, Atm. 5. A letter from Ostend says—." The King and Queen are expected about the middle of the week. The Queen and the children will remain here for some weeks, during which the King will go to England.' The Arid steam-boat, which is to convey his Majesty to Rams gate, will arrive here on Wednesday, and his Majesty will emhark, it is said, on the following day. There is reason to believe that this voyage has a political object. The sincere friends of peace will rejoice at this; the King, from interest as well as inclination, cannot but ardently wish that the alliance which has subsisted for ten years between England and France may not be broken. RUSSIA AND POLAND. (From the Polish Frontier, July 24.) We learn from Warsaw that no hopes are now enter tained of seeing the Emperor there on his journey to the southern provinces cf the Empire. His Majesty will pro ceed direct by way of Moscow to the sea-port in the Euxine, to which large bodies of troops continue to march. Everybody sees that the moment for the decision of the great question is at hand. A great Council of war is now assembled at Krasnoje- Selo to deliberate on the most efficacious means of conducting the new expedition which is to be undertaken in the course of this year against Khiva. General Perowsky is consulted on this question. It is clearly necessary for Russia to assemble on extraor dinary force on the Black Sea, on account of the critical state of the affairs of Turkey, the success of the Gimes eans, and Anglo-Indian agitation in central Asia. BRUNSWICK, JULY 20.—1 t is now reported here that the Duke will at length yield to the wishes of the people and marry. It is said that the Princess of Mecklenburg Strclitz is to be the future Duchess of Brunswick, and that the present King of Prussia has used his influence in this matter. LIEG.I. Are. 4.—Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge, travelling under the name of Lady Callode, with the young Princesses and suite, arrived here from Calais yesterday on her Nay to Germany. 130 URS E. —PARIS, WIIIMESDAY, AUG. 5. - - - - .

Lf34 _HE .ELSON MONUMENT.—The Committee ap pointed to inquire into the proposed plans for improv ing Trafalgar -squar e have made their report, one of the most striking features of which is that they disap prove of that part of the plan according to which it was resolved to erect the Nelson Monument on that site. So that after the Board of Woods and Forests had assigned to the Nelson Fund Com mittee the ground, after a contract for pre paring the foundati;m to the amount of 2,000/. had been agreed to and almost completed, end after the public had subscribed a considerable portion of the funds on the disticlet understanding that the pillar was to be erected in the square dedicated to our immortal hero, a Committee of the House of Commons, by and with the advice of professional men, rivals of Mr. Railton, have upset the whole scheme. When we heard that professional men were to be examined, we expected no other result. The Committee ap pear to have imbibed their partiality. Mr. Wil kins's great work, the National Gallery, was condemned while he lived, and now that he is dead the pillar cannot be erected lest it should disfigure a na tional structure about which there is and can only be one opinion. The Committee go out of their province too by reporting that there are not sufficient funds to complete the column, and that there does not appear any well-grounded hope of any considerable addition. We come to no such conclusion. The public, who owe so much to Nelson's name, would not be so mean spirited as to leave the Pillar, in the words of the Committee, " a denuded mass ;" but if that could be possible, we are confident the House of Commons would not. Let the Committee go on, notwithstand ing this partial report, and they will be supported by the British nation. Is London the only large city in the empire that cannot raise a monument to the greatest of British admirals ? The defendant said he did not know the complainant was a constable; he thought it was merely a turn-up between the two men, and he wished to see fair play. He strongly denied laying hands on the constable. Several Witnesses who were present said they were not aware that the complainant was a constable, or they should have assisted him. He did not produce his staff. Th , complanant admitted that he had not got it with him. Mr. HENRY said he should dismiss the charge, and de precated the system of police constables being sent on duty in private clothes, MS highly inconvenient to the proper discharge of their duties to the public generally. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. The re has been a good st,pply of English Whea , this week, but little of any other grain. Of Foreign Wheat and Oats, the cpiantities have been consi,erable. The weather having conti. nixed uninterruptedly fine, has stagnated the sale of all sorts of corn. The factors tried to obtain Monday's prices for Wheat, but acre wiliing to take Is. per quarter less for Oats. The Flour trade was very dull. All the new samples of Wheat were vory fine and heavy, they sold at 88s. to 925. per quarter Loudon averages for noct week—Wheat 19,500, at 80s. 4d. ; Oats /4,620, at 30s. 2d. ; Reins 1,4'7, at 445. 4d, _ _ SPlRlTS. — According to a return laid before the House cf Cot - rim:J:ls, the entire quantity of home. made spirits in stock, on the 16th day of Mly, 1840, charge able with tho additional duty of 4d. per gallon, was 6,362,912 gallon 3. The following are the proportions for the respective countries :—England, 55,432 ; Scot land, 783,483 ; and Ireland, 5,523,997 gall4ns. The addition thus made to the revenue will be about 106,048/, We received yesterday an account of a meeting at Birmingham, which we were inclined to regard as a hoax, or, at all events, as showing a species of mad ness which it would be better to pa3s over without notice. As another meeting of the same kind, how ever, is to be held on Monday, we may as well state that the object of the parties is to prove Lord Palmer ston a traitor, and to have him tried for high treason, in asmuch as he has sold himself to Russia, and is wickedly engaged in exciting a war with France for the benefit of the Northern Autocrat. Mr. Charles Attwood, brother of the late Member for Birming ham, whose family appears to have an innate horror of Nicholas, is the great accuser, and on Wednes day, at a public meeting, moved the following ;re solution " Resolved, that this country is in dan ger, and intentionally betrayed to a foreign country ; and that the people of Birmingham do, in public meet ing assembled on Monday next, assert the danger and denounce the criminal." This, no doubt, made Lord Palmerston tremble, and accounts for the very concilia tory and peaceful speech his Lordship made last even ing. He cannot, however, expect to escape so easily. Mr. C. Attwood has proof strong as Holy Writ against the unfortunate Foreign Secretary, and, in all proba bility, his trial and that of Louis Napoleon will take place about the same time. ffIFIELD. Little demand for Beef, but holders of Cattle were unwilling to take lower rates. Sheep, for keeping, sell pretty well; but fat Mutton was a dull trade, without any alteration in price. The Lamb trade was brisk, but without any great advance in price from Alonday last. Vetil and Pork a fair trade. Beef, 2d. to 4s. 4d. ; Mutton, 3s. 6d. to 4s.

Prices continue to advance, and at the close more buyers than sellers. By the liamburgh mail arrived we have received the price of the Exchange on London, which was 13 5. Gold, 427 ; Mettalliques, 103 ; Bank Actions, 1,755. We have received the Antwerp Papers of yesterday's date. BOURSE OF AMSTERDAM, AUG. 4.—The Bourse was in general weak to-day ; the fall at Paris, with the prepara. tions for war, caused some sales. Some Integrals were offered for sale, and receded # per cent. ; Society of Com merce 2 per cent. Ardoin's were much offered for sale, and fell per cent. ; after 'Change they were 211. The city in general is much amused this morning by learning the result of the Don Quixote expedition under taken by Louis Napoleon at Boulogne, the particulars of which will be found in another part of our Paper. It it reported that certain parties in London were in the secret. THE FUNDS.

Little business doing, and the tendercy of prices was down ward. Raw Sugar scarcely inquired after, and rather easier prices were accepted. In Coffee nothing whatever was done and prices merely nominal. The Tea market was firm ; Com pany's Co?:gou 2s. 2d. per lb. cash, but the transaction was $ unimportant. Rice in demand at rather low prices Cotton sold in public sale at somewhat lower rates when compared with the last transaction. TALLOW MARKET. Few F ales made, and prices almost stationary, at 525. on the spot, and .52s 3d. for arrival. SPIRIT MARKET. Rum still much inquired after, and prices firmer. Proof Lrewards sold at 3s 9d. per gallon. Brandy a flat sale, but not lower. PROVISION MARKET. Prices of almost all articles remain steady, ‘rith but little business done. Irish Butter, of good quality, 953. to 9Ss., and fine Dutch 98s per cwt. Bacon, of prime quality, brought 5,‘25. to 605., and Lard 60s. to 655. per cwt. Majeaty the Queen has been graciously pleased to signify her intention of standing sponsor to the infant daagliter of Viscount and Viscountess Fitzalan.

" Matters ( say they) cannot remain as they are. No nation like Ireland can or shall submit to such injris,:ice. To the Repeal we come, and from it we cannot depart, until domestic legislation comes to correct evils which do not meet sympathy, much less correction, from the dominant state." EXTRAORDINARY SALE OF CROPS.—.fit the sale by auction, on Thursday last, of growing crops, the pro perty of Richard Adams, Esq., at East Ham, Essex, the wheats fetched from IW. to 251. 15s. per acre ; Oats from 1(11. ss. to IS/. 10s. ; Potatoes from 26/. 10s. to 331. 10s. ; and Onions from 22/. •to 24/. 10s. per acre, making an average upon the Whole produce upon a considerable quantity of land, of upwards of 231. per acre—a circumstance rarely or never before known to take place in the neighbourhood, and from which it may be rea,unably interred that a confidence is felt amongst agricultu rists that the produce of the soil is likely to retain its present high prices.— Chelmsford Chronicle. SCOTCH SHEEP ANn WOOL.—The price of wool has lately been declining, without any prospect of an im mediate advance or improvement. The pi ices of our Inverness market have scarcely been maintained in a single instance. At Langholm sheep and wool fair, on the 27th ult., Cheviots brought from tr. to I Is., and half-breds from 16s. to 20s. per head.

IMPORT ANT TO FARMERS. —The ravages of the what-worm are well known to agriculturists, as nothing is more destructive to the turnip crop.

The contest was in live heats, with si x pairs of scuds, the men engaged in the contest being those hailing from Horselydown Old Stairs, George's Stairs, and Horselydown New Stairs.

THE H A RVEST.--The accounts from the country continue favourable. The improvement in the weather has had a most beneficial effect ; and it must afford gratification to all but the speculators for a rise in corn, to see that there is every appearance of a continuation of the finest possible weather for ripening and carrying in the crops.

The mania which exists for what is termed fashionable blood is almost unwarrantable; but when a man breeds for profit— and there arc few who do not—it is a subject which demands the highest attention ; if the absurd spell could once be broken, it would be evident how fallacious such impressions are. Much more consideration might to be paid to such crosses as have been found to suit ; and when anything superior makes its ap pearance, to follow as nearly as possible the same strain ; that is, provided there are not other circumstances which combine . , - to render such a systemincompatible. if the symmetry of THE LATE NOBLE OUTRAGE AT HAMPTON horses were more minutely attended to, the results would bear UPON A POLICEMAN.—EarI Waldegrave and Captain Duff, out this recommendation : very fashionably bred horses are fre.. who were committed to take their trial at the next Middlesex quently exceedingly defective in symmetrical proportions, and Sessions, fora violent assault upon a policeman, at Hampton, certainly ought to be rejected from that very cause : but no; have moved the proceedi ngs i n t o th e C our t o f Q ueen ' s Bench. if a horse is fortunate enough to win a great stake, or if he be The writ of certiorari is returnable on the last day of October, the sire of a winner of a valuable prize, let him be ever so ill and the defendants will, in all probability, be put upon their shaped, cross-bred, bad-goer, or bad-constitutioned, with all trial in the forthcoming Michaelmas term.
