Corn-laws, from the obligation of supporting the people who grow up on their estates ? Yet when a tax is imposed upon the rest of the commu nity to pay them for giving employment to agri cultural labourers, and put their machinery into profitable use, that very thing is done for them which Sir ROBERT PEEL, in the passage we have quoted, emphatically denounces. The whole argu ment in favour of the Corn-laws, centers in the assertion that the State should tax the com munity to enable the landlords to provide for those who have been born on their estates. To give employment to labour, to interfere with the supply of labour, which Sir ROBERT PEEL SO justly censures when Mr. O'BRIEN proposes to apply the principle to emigration, is the very es sence of those Corn-laws which, for a most un worthy party purpose, Sir ROBERT PEEL most in consistently supports. We have given prominence to some of his assertions—vie have indicated their bearing on the Corn-laws—and we hope his excel lent speech of Tuesday evening, as the Herald called it, will be quoted by Mr. VILLIERS, on the next debate on the Corn-laws, as supplying irre fragable arguments against the State taxing the community to enable the landlords to employ labourers, and place in profitable use the landlords' machinery. Mr. ACLAND has given the electors of Sudbury, by offering himself to their notice, as will be seen by an advertisement, an excellent opportunity of vindicating their character, saving their property, and striking a deadly blow at the accursed Corn law. Mr. ACLAND appeals to them in the cha racter of a Corn-law repealer. The electors of Sudbury are now reproached with venality ; Mr. ACLAND has nothing to recommend him but his principles ; by electing him, therefore, they will prove their own integrity, and hurl back the ca lumny on their enemies. For the sake of a good name, that brightest jewel in man or woman, let them elect Mr. ACLAND. To elect him, we maintain, will be pecuniarily advantageous to them. A pound or two, or per haps even a few shillings, is all those will get who basely sell their votes ; by electing Mr. ACLAND, they may save as much an nually in the price of bread. The Clare elec tion carried Catholic Emancipation, and were the Sudbury election carried on Mr. ACLAND'S principles, it would be such a decisive proof of high-souled virtue in the people, that the landlords would quail in their fastnesses, and speedily give up the Corn-laws. Such an election would kindle the slumbering indignation, the irresistible enthu siasm of the pepple, and would be the death-knell of aristocratic injustice. The power to repeal the Corn laws, and to put down aristocratic oppression, is now placed in the hands of the electors of Sud bury. How much annually they would save by effecting such a desirable change we pretend not to calculate ; but it would far surpass all the wages of corruption. We trust the electors of Sudbury will not allow this opportunity to escape of vindica ting their own honour, and of setting a noble example to every borough in the empire. Men of Sudbury, tire eyes of your countrymen are fixed on you, show yourselves worthy of the name of Englishmen ! Sir ROBERT INGLIS is to persist, according to the Vote paper of the House of Commons, in bring ing forward his motion for more Church and more parsons. We did entertain hopes that the Repre sentative of Oxford having stumbled at the threshold, would superstitiously have taken that for an unfavourable omen, and have spared the House of Commons and the public a further conflict. Since that is not the case, we must again summon the Dissenters to the field, and put into their hands the weapons which the Scotsman has manufactured for their use. In another place we insert an excel lent article from that Journal. Many of our Dissenting readers, and even many Dissenting clergymen who preach twice or thrice every Sunday, and perform all the pastoral duties in the week belonging to a large congregation ate probably not aware that in some of the parish churches of the metropolis no less than three cler gymen combine to perform the morning service, or complete the labour of one man. Such, however, is the fact, and it is to increase this already too numer ous body of men that Sir R. INGLIS is to ask more money from the House of Commons ; and it will be to provide luxuries for these idlers that the Dissent ers, who pay their own hard-working clergy, will have to open their pockets, should Sir R. INGLis succeed. But that is impossible, if our Representa tives do their duty. All our readers, who are accustomed to see Lord BROUGHAM, Mr.O'CONNELL,JOSEPH STURGE, and other Liberal politicians, take the lead at as. semblies for the suppression of slavery, must have noticed with surprise that Tory politicians and High Churchmen were most prominent at the late meeting at Exeter-hall. Bishops, a class of men who spoke and voted again3t the efforts to suppress the slave trade as lcng as possible, were there ; and parsons, who have only lately found out that to doom men to slavery is to commit a crime, were called on to address the meeting, while Mr. O'CON NELL was obliged to be silent. Sir ROBERT PEEL took the place of Lord BROUGHAM, and Sir GEOItGE 'MURRAY was found haranguing for liberty instead of Sir GEORGE GREY. We have no objection whatever to this conversion of the Tories ; we rejoice at their improvement ; but they ought to be contented to remain in the rear, and not thrust themselves forward, as if they had always been the champions of freedom. It is de lightful to see them courting popularity, but they ought not all at once to obscure the services of other men. Mr. FOWELL BUXTON seemed quite charmed with his new associates, on the Scripture principle of being more joyful over one sinner who has repented than over ninety and nine just per sons. He gave his chief smiles to Sir ROBERT PEEL and the Bishops. He intimated to Mr. O'CONNELL that he had better retire than affront, by attempting to speak, the new found champions of the negroes. The vulgar Tories, and the vulgar bigots who were present, took Mr. FOWELL BUXTON'S hint, and would not allow one of the most powerful and longest-tried advocates of the slave to say a word. When Mr. O'CoNNELL attempted to speak, it is said that Sir ROBERT INGLIS and Sir THOMAS ACLAND ordered the great organ to be played, and they showed their respect for freedom, by stifling the voice of her sturdiest champion. The conversion of the Tories, on which Mr. FOWELL BUXTON seemed to pride himself may be sincere, but their treatment of Mr. O'CONNELL was no evidence of sincerity. When negroes see the names of BUXTON and LUSHING TON mingled with those of PEEL and CUNNING HAM, they will think their friends have got into strange company, and when they find Mr. BUXTON presiding over a meeting which applauds a Bishop and will not hear Mr. O'CONNELL, they will share the indignation of the public, and be apprehensive that Mr. BUXTON himself has been converted to bigotry and Toryism. The Hanoverian Chamber of Deputes voted on the 19th ult., by a majority of 21 to 16, that the National Representatives had only a deliberative or consultative voice in the enactment of laws— the initiation of all laws being a Royal prerogative. Base and degraded as are the majority of the per sons whom King ERNEST, by his Royal authority, has constituted Deputies, we were not prepared for the exhibition of such an instance of infamous subserviency as is manifested in this treasonable vote against the Constitution and the liberties of Hanover. But it is not by the suffrages of twen..y four traitors to their country that ERNEST will succeed in enslaving Hanover. The people will not suffer their dearest political rights to be thus bartered away by the creatures of a despot as con temptible abroad as he is odious at home. But if it be treason in a subject to resist the laws, where fore should a Sovereign be held irresponsible who thus perseveringly labours, by the most corrupt means, to overturn the Constitution of his kingdom? A t e there not crimes by which thrones are for feited ? The tyranny which produced the Revo lution of 1688 in England has been an hundred fold exceeded in atrocit) by . the proceedings of the Hanoverian Government since the accession of CUMOERLAND to the kingly office. We are therefore Zhe +~ .+ 3~il +~►' LONDON: THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 1840. Our observations yesterday on Mr. O'BRIEN'S motion, were writtn before we had read Sir R. . , PEEL'S speech, who con curs in principle, we see, with us. We shall quote one or two passages of fiis speech, in order to give them prominence, and tie him fast to the consequences of his own doctrines. In the following passage the Right Hon. Baronet lay s down the true principle o f fr ee emiaration as broadly as we laid it down The Hon. Gentleman said the demand was urgent ; if ther e Was any obstruction in the way of emigration re -11. thelQye it ; if there was any facility wanting , s u pp l y it ; but ". M dem a nd for labour was urgent, and the remunera tion xhy shou:d they give a bou nt y u p on its ex port;a and why should the State be cal led u p on exclusivel y to giv e that bounty ? Suppose the Hon. Gentleman was to affirm that there was a conside rable q uantit y of ma chinery l y i ng idl e i n this country, and that it might be m o st 1 _e n tally employed in the colonies, he could not suppose teat therefore the State should be at the expense of the l'ansfer 91 that machinery. He (Sir R. Peel) could not Rea any difference in the principle.—(Hear.) Bit now let us ask the Right Hon. Baronet in What rcspect machinery lying idle differs from land lying idle,. or going out of cultivation, and why if the State, as we say, and he says, should not be at th e „ p c-ise of transferring that machinery to Where it is profitable, should it be at the expense of making, by a . Corn-law, the landlord's estate pro fitable ? If Sir ROBERT asserts that policy de mands it, we say : honesty is the best policy, and that unless the estate belongs to the whole people, it is as unjust to make them pay to improve it, as to make them pay to render the idle machinery profitable. Perhaps it will be said that: the improvement of the landlord's estate by the Coro-laws is the con sequence of some wealth showeret: on it by the Act of Parliament. We appeal to Sir ROBERT : But there was great danger in the State being at the expense of the transfer of labour from one country to an other. It was easy to talk of the funds of the State, but how were those funds raised except by taxes? Gentlemen always talked as if the State had large funds into which it was easy to dip their hands. He did not know how the necessary funds were to be raised except by taxing some party or another. After all, what w,is the proposal unless /hat one class of the community .should be taxed for the purpose of enabling another class to emigrate to a land in which there was a great demand for labour and an ample remuneration for it? He could not see the justice of such Q proceeding, and he did not think it advisable to accede ti the proposition then before the House. The State, then, has no funds to give the land-owners ; but as they are enriched by the Corn-laws, which enhance rents, that must be caused, according to Sir ROBERT, by dipping their hands into our pockets. Some party or another is 'taxed to enrich the landlords. Sir ROBERT has a just horror of taxing the community to relieve the .tabourers, and must, we presume, though his party Nheackles will not allow arm to say so, have a still greater horror of taxing the cotninunity to enrich the lan:thuds. We do not despair of seeing him, whenever that shall serve his party and political pur poses, bec.anie a Corn-law repealer. He is ev,-.n now ready to admonish his friends, the Irish la ne lords, of a part of their duty. He said— He should obaerve that, for his part, he thought there was a moral o bligation on the p art of those who cl eare d their estates of tenants, for the purpose e migra d tion, of th ei orr of improving them, to pro vide by otherwise, far those whom they had dispossesse ilioldings.—( Hear, hear.) He thought that there existed ' .3 th amoral obligation, and that it would otherwise be impossible to palliate such acts as sudden notices of eject ment to ninety or a hundred famil ies.—( Hear, he) -Prcceedings of that nature might be justified on princi- Ves 0 ' political economy, but could not be justified on prit Th i p lcs of moral duty.—( Renewed cries of " Hear, hear.” ) Ce thought the State ought to be cautious how it relieved prig ate individuals from the obligation of provid t f ut , maintenance of those who were driven out of their poss,. Blouse Let us furtlse.' to relieve add, that t.. State is not private inj iv iduals from the obligation of providing for the future maintenance of those who ;are driven out of their po ,ssessions, why should the THE SUN,'FLONDON, THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 1840. rather surprised that the German Jurists have not yet mooted the question, how far a nation is justified in yielding allegiance to a despot who openly arrays himself against her liber ties, and impiously assumes the privilege of dis pensing with the observance of the oaths taken to maintain the Constitution. The people of Hanover have strong claims upon our sympathy, and if their next appeal was made to the British Govern ment, we dare affirm their reception would exhibit a gratifying contrast to the treatment they received at the hands of the Getman Diet. Should the worst happen, Hanover has the example of Bruns wick before her. As under the ERNEST and VON SCHELE tyranny, foreign Journals are not allowed to cir culate in Hanover, nor public meetings for any purpose to be held, the patriots have been driven to the formation of a society at Hamburg, where they can ascertain the state of public opinion abroad, and give expression to their own senti ments. Here they will not be long safe—ERNEST will demand their removal from the Magistracy, under penalty of further impeding the navigation of the Elbe, or he will call upon the Diet to inter pose its authority in his behalf. Hanover is in a state of universal discontent, and requires but some such crowning provocation as this to bring matters to a crisis. The proceedings of the General Assembly on the great question of the " Independence" of the Kirk are likely to bring the dispute to a speedier termination than we had expected. Nothing, it is now evident, short of supreme and unquestionable jurisdiction in all matters which the majority of the Assembly choose at any time to denominate " Spi ritual," will satisfy Dr. CHALMERS and the se quacious herd to whom he plays the part of a bell-wether. Thanks to the rashness and pig headedness of their leader, the Non-intrusionists are now irretrievably committed to a course of ac tion which it is impossible for the civil power to permit, which in fact compels the civil power to interfere, and vindicate the supremacy of the laws, so audaciously set at defiance by an Ecclesiastical Court which has not, and cannot have, any autho rity but that which it derives from the State. It is known to our readers that the Commission —a sort of Standing Committee—of the General Assembly, suspended from the office of the minis try. at one fell swoop, seven Members of the Presbytery of Strathbogie, for obeying an order of the Court of Session in a mat ter which that Court pronounced to be one of civil jurisdiction. The same Court, on the appli cation of the suspended ministers, nullified their suspension, and interdicted the ministrations of their Commission-appointed substitutes. Now, what has the Assembly done in this important case Has it shown any desire to do justice and restore peace to the Church. Far from it. The Non-intrusion majority have proceeded in their usual way. Flay ing laid it down as a principle that the authority of the Ecclesiastical Court must be made to oyez top all other authority, they are equally regardless of justice and peace in the accomplishment of their object. The Commission had gone beyond its powers. It is not a legally-recognised Church Court. It is no part of that ecclesistical government which the laws of the Sate have established in Scotland, and it cannot degrade the ministers of the Church from that rank and station, and from those offices which they hold in virtue of the laws. The obvious path for the Assembly to pursue was to disown the illegal and preposterous proceedings of this Commission, and thus open the way for an amicable and peaceful adjustment of the existing differences. And, had the majority been gifted with but a small portion of common sense and a little honesty of purpose, this is what they would have done. But instead of this they back the Commission in all its outrageous irregularities, and in the face of the decision of the civil tribunal, and, in spite of the unanswerable reasoning and solemn warnings of the best and ablest friends of the Church, they resolve that the seven ministers of Strathbogie—for obeying, mark I the order of the Court of Session—have rendered themselves liable to the censures of the Church I What the punishment may be which will be in flicted on them we cannot tell. If any consistency is to be expected from these men, nothing less than I , deposition ought to satisfy them, as an atonement for the atrocious crime of submitting to the laws of the land. But at all events the sentence of the Commission has been confirmed, and thus the Assembly pits itself directly against the Court of Session ; the civil and the ecclesiastical powers come now to close quarters, and must fight it out hand to hand. Which will prevail there cannot be much doubt. The Court of Session will protect the Strathbogie men from the effects of the sentence of the Assembly. They will still be the Presbytery of Strathbogie, though they may be excluded from the Assembly, and they will continue to perform all their ministerial functions, to live in their manses, and to draw their stipends, unannoyed by any interloping Non-intrusionist brethren. Were the Legislature not to interfere, other Pres byteries soon would be placed in a similar situation —for, wherever the veto is exercised, there will, in all probability, be an appeal to the law—and thus there would a schism in the Kirk fatal to its very existence. But we should not be at all surprised if the violent conduct of the Non-intrusion party in this Assembly, dissipating every hope of their re turn to sober and rational views, should dispose the Legislature to pass Lord ABERDEEN'S Bill, or some such measure of a declaratory nature, as a curb to check the destructive propensities of the wild men, and as a safeguard to the Scottish Estab lishment. West India Papers to the 26th of April have reached us. Sir CHARLES METCALFE'S disap proval of the conduct of the Baptist Missionaries has created a terrible stir among that ensi- tive body in Jamaica. Parochial meetings were everywhere held, and resolutions passed favour able to the conduct of the Baptists, and censur ing the rash judgment of his Excellency the Governor. We have no doubt that the Governor was mistaken, but we think the defence of a body of men so respectable and so generally respected as the Baptist missionaries, might have been con ducted with less heat. We hare the speeches and resolutions before us, and we confess we would have liked better a mote temperate display of religious and political feeling. The free coloured population of the United States are rapidly emigrating to Trinidad. This fact speaks volumes for the sort of freedom they are allowed to enjoy in equality-boasting America. Letters from Constantinople of the 13th ult., announce the degradation of SERASKIER HALIL PACHA, the SULTAN'S brother-in-law, for receiv ing a bribe of 20,0001. sterling from a butcher, for the monopoly of supplying the army with meat. HALIL was tried before the Supreme Council of Justice, and to the astonishment of those who affected to regard the Gulhane Ordinances as fine words without meaning, he was found guilty, and dismissed from all his employments. His successor as Seraskier, or Commander-in-Chief of the Wo man Forces, is MUSTAPHA PACH A, late Governor of the five provinces of Itoumelia, a man of wis dom and energy, in whom his countrymen place great confidence. It is no longer doubtful that the SULTAN is really in earnest in carrying out the system of reform which he proposed at the com mencement of his reign. Two coal mines and a copper mine have been recently discovered near Constantinopl e . Mr. TAYLOR, a civil engineer in the service of the Porte, is stated to have been sent to Enoland to employ workmen and purchase machinery for working them. The latest couriers from Persia brought intelli gence that the SCHAII was encamped with his army in the neighbourhood of 'spatial'. We are without any political news from Egypt or Syria. The Moniteur of Tuesday, which we have re ceived the other Paris Journals of the same date, contains the following important telegraphic despatch from the Spanish frontier:— BAYONNE, MAY 31. THE suß-pREFECI . OF BAYONNE TO THE ktINIsTER OF Till new revolt in Catalonia, but his influence is fast waning among his deluded followers. The Chamber of Deputies resumed on Tuesday the debate on the Budget for 1841. The whole amount demanded by the Government exceeds forty-four millions sterling. M. MAGUIN com plained that reparation had not been made for the insult offered to the French flag at the Mauritius; that the English had not yet evacuated Passages ; that the same " insolent islanders" had taken the liberty to seize and confiscate French slavers ; that they monopolized the gum trade on the coast of Africa ; and, among a number of other grave matt ers , t h at t h e P res id en t o f the Council suffered the massacre of innocent Jews at Damascus. M. THIERS defended with great spirit and ability th e con d uct o f t h e B r iti s h Go vernmentin all the transactions alluded to by M. MAGUIN. He would not allow the harmony be tween two great nations to be disturbed by the act of a madman at the Mauritius. Passages was partially evacuated, and would be wholly so ili as short a time as was consistent with the interests of Spain. In seizi ng F renc h s l avers t h e E ng li s h were only acting in conformity with the letter and spirit of a solemn T reaty , o f w hi c h a ll t h e wor ld was cognizant. With respect to the Neapolitan ques tion, the President of the Council had no hesita tion in declaring the King of the Two SICILIES to be manifestly in the wrong. Even France had demanded the - abolition of the sulphur monopoly some time before Great Britain bad avowed a de termination to compel the King to revoke it. M. THIERS had not concluded his speech when the post left Paris, for London. The removal of the remains of NAPOLEON, and the war in Africa, occupy the editorial columns of the Paris journals of Tuesday. Both topics are, , at present, in a great measure e xhausted. he following are extracts : NAPOLEON'S COFFIN.—The administration of the Pom pea junebres is now pr e p ar i ng t h e coffin which is to receive at St. Helena, the mortal remains of Napoleon. It is to be of solid ebony, in the shape of the ancient sarcophagi, and large enough to enclose the coffins in which the Em tpuerrboerdl.iesia,theSt. funeral Hele n p a a , l s l o is th in at ve h l i v s e a t, sh st e r s e m we a d y nisolt.thbegdoilsd ' bees, and bordered with a broad band of ermine ; at each corner is to be placed an eagle, embroidered in gold, and surmounted with the imperial crown. THE NEAPOLITAN QCESTION.—.Tbe Eclaireur de la Mediterranee of the 29th ult., states that the Neapolitan question was becoming more complicated, and that the English Government had resolved on sending six ships of the line to Naples. Admiral Rosamel would, it was be lieved, proceed thither with an equal force. CIRCASSIA.—The last advices from Trebizond announce new successes of the Circassians over their Russian invaders- Nine forts had falleninto their power, and the two remaining would have experienced the same fate but far the timely arrival of two Russian ships of the line. The Circas sians gave the Russians no quarter, and in the fort of St. Nicholas alone 1,000 menwere . put to the sword. The Eco de l'Aragon affirms that the Spanish Princesses evils arrive in a few days at Saragossa. They will be very welcome, adds the Journal, though we are too poor to have any thing to offer them but enthusiasm. According to the same Journal the Royalist General Llarch de Copons, who at a review in Catalonia was wounded by a pistol which he held in his hand, died at Berge on the 1 7th, in consequence of this wound. Our lettera from Catalonia have not yet announced the death of that General, which will be a loss to the cause which he served with courage and fidelity.—La Gazette de France. The Memorial des Pyrenees ( Pau) of the 30:h, an nounce that the police has made a domiciliary visit in the residence of a Spaniard, known by the name of Don Be neto Antonio, for the purpose of seizing his correspon dence, which is said to afford information respecting the rising which was to take place in the Biscayan provinces. It is affirmed, that Don Beneto Antonio, is no other than the General of the Franciscans. He set out from Bor deaux on the 29th. an the We have news from Berlin, by way of Frankfort. A letter from Berlin, of the 26 th. says__" The physicians arc quite easy respecting the K having ceased."

Private schoolmasters, who succumb to the Church, may be taken into union with this central establish ment, and those who do not, will find themselves under sold, and beaten out of the market, by a cheap Church of England commercial school set up at their door by the aid of funds begged from the people. For our parts, we prefer lay to clerical teachers ; but without entering further into that, though it is a most im portant question for the public to consider, we must caution those who are subscribing money to establish cen tral commercial schools under the control of the Church of England, that they are lending their pecuniary means to beggar the present race of schoolmasters, and fix on the necks of the next generation the heavy yoke of the priesthood. THE QUEEN DOWAGER'S VISIT TO ST. PAUL'S.— Her Majesty the Queen Dowager having signified her intention of being present at the Anniversary of the Charity Children at St. Paul's this day, the Treasurer communicated the intelligence to the Lord Mayor, who immediately Grote to invite her Majesty and Suite to the Mansion-house after the service, to which the Queen Dowager sent a most gracious answer, declin ing the invitation, in the fear that, after the long ser vice at St. Paul's, the fatigue would be too great for her nephews and nieces, and herself to undergo. HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.) The House met to-day to hear appeals. The Peers present were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, the Marquis of Breadalbane, and the Earl of Warwick. THY EARL OP ALDBOROUGH V. TYRE. The arguments oa this part-beard appeal were resumed and concluded to-day, and The LORD CHANCELLOR postponed giving judgment to Thursday next. VICE -CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) WALWORTH AND OTHERS V. HOLT AND OTHERS. THE IMPERIAL BANK OF ENGLAND. Mr. K. BRUCE applied upon motion exparte in this case for a receiver of the outstanding demands and effects of a Joint Stock Bank that had carried on its business a• Manchester, Macclesfield, and several other parts of the country, under the name of the Imperial Bank of England. The Learned Counsel stated that he made the application under rather singular cir cumstances. The Joint Stock Bank had in effect stopped payment, and there were a great many outstanding demands. Actions had been brought, but in consequence of the circumstances that had taken place, the whole thing was at a stand still. It was, therefore, extremely urgent that something should immediately be done. The present bill had been therefore filed by him on behalf of all the Shareholders who had paid their calls up to the time of the stoppage of that bank against the Trustees, Directors, public officers, and those Shareholders who had not paid their calls up to the time of the stoppage. The whole number of proprietors was upwards of seven hundred, and it was therefore impossible they should all have been made parties, which the Learned Coun sel trusted the Court would not think necessary under the circumstances of the case. The object of the present motion was to have the debts due to the concern collected and made available, and also to obtain from the shareholders who had not paid their calls the amount due from them. The defendants bad not been served with notice of the present application, as it had not been thought necessary. The VICE-CHANCELLOR said that the application was a perfectly novel one, but as the defendants could not be placed in a worse situation than they were at present by the appointment of a receiver, he would grant the motion, subject to any further application to the Court. Mr. K. BRUCE considered the appointment of a receiver would be beneficial, instead of prejudicial, to the de fendants.—Receiver granted. HALL V. THE NORTH MIDLAND RAILWAY COMPANY. -- --- The remainder of the morning was occupied with a motion on this case for an injunction to restrain the de fendants, the proprietors of the North Midland Railway Company, from breaking up or obstructing the turnpike road from Overton to Derby, until they should have made a similar road to the one at present existing. The case appears likely to occupy the whole day. INTERIoti. On the 25th the advanced fort of San Pedro, near Mc rella, fell into the hands of the Queen's troops, with twelve officers, 264 soldiers, and four cannon. Other small forts have been abandoned by the enemy, wh o , therefore, will no longer make any great resistance.

MARTIN'S PARlsth—On Wednesday an appeal against rating the box held by Miss Coutts, on a lease of 82 years, in Drury Lana Theatre, was heard at the Middlesex Sessions. The case was a rgued at length by Mr. Ballantine anit d Mr. Bodki n , when was mutually agreed that the rate should be amen d ed by striking out the assessment of Miss Coutts, subject to a case to be a greed upon, and submitted for decision to the C Queen'4 Bench. of DUKE OF SUSSEX'S MARRIAGE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Your Correspondent on the subject of the Duke of Sussex's First Marriage, has led you into an error with reference to the Barony of Arklovr. That Barony is a Barony of the United kingdom, not of Ireland, and you will find on inspection of any Peer age that his Royal Highness is not a Peer of Ireland ; all his titles having been conferred upon him subse quently to the Union—viz., in November 1801. The King of Hanover is the only one of the Blood Royal now remaininc , among the Iris,: nobility. Consequently, wh atever may be otherwise the rights of Sir Augustus D'Este, it is quite evident, that if he be entitled to succeed to the Barony of Arklow, he is equally entitled to succeed to the Earldom of Inverness and the Duchy of Sussex. These are, however, titles to which your Correspondent does not seem prepared to admit Sir Augustus D'Este's legal right. _ I am, your's, &c., A CONSTANT READER. ilf our Correspondent will re-peruse the article to which he alludes, he will find that we are not charge able with the error he imputes to us. We did not state that the Duke of Sussex was an Irish Peer, or that Sir Augustus D'Este would succeed to an Irish Peer age. What we said was, that "in the event of Sir Augustus D'Este surviving the Duke of Sussex, be would succeed to the Barony of Arklow, and to all the rights accruing from that succession"—a proposition which we hold to be undeniable. That Sir Augustus D'Este is equally entitled to succeed to the Dukedom of Sussex and the Earldom of Inverness, we most readily admit. In the very article already referred to, we quoted the opinions of Dr. Lushington and Mr. Richards as to the perfect validity of the marriage at Rome, notwithstanding the Royal Marriage Act ; and stated our conviction that the operation of that Act did not extend to any marriages contracted beyond the limits of British jurisdiction. In our view of the case, therefore, Sir Augustus D'Este is the legitimate son of his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, and as such, of course, heir to all his titles, whether conferred before or since the Union.] 3 ►IONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, T WEL RE O'CLOCK. Our arrivals this morning are the French and Ostend mails, and a West India mail, by the Magnet, sailed from St. Thomas April 25, and Cape Henry May 4. By the above conveyance we have received Jamaica Papers to April 30. We extract the following We this day publish an account of the crops of the several sugar estates in the parish of St. George for the last five years, taken from a sworn return. By the return we find a progressive decrease from 1835 to 1838, on an estate which in the former year yielded 271 hhds. and 60 tierces of sugar, and 128 puncheons of rum, produced in 1838 but 150 hhds. sugar, and 97 puncheons of rum ; whilst in 1839 (the year succeeding the apprenticeship) it yielded 92 hhds. sugar and 54 puncheons of rum. On another estate, which yielded 112 hhds. in 1835, we find a gradual decrease until the crop is reduced to 27 hbds." The above papers are entirely void of interest. St. Christopher papers contain interesting communica• tions from Mr. Cunningham, the late Governor to Sir William Colebootle, the Governor-General, in which he states the result of his late visit to the unfortunate island of Anguella. The state of extreme wretchedness, poverty, destitution, and all but barbarism to which the colony is reduced ; exceeds everything we have ever read. From the Demerara papers to the 16th of April : The Court of Policy met to-day. His Excellency the Governor opened the Session. Extract of his speech : He begins by stating that he fi n d s i t necessary to exp l ain to them that since his proclamation for their meeting he had re ceived instructions to propose a new civil list, to replace that which expires en 31st December next. It has been urged that her Majesty's Government offer no security with respect to the important duty on British,manutactures ; but it may be conceded this year, and refused the next; let it be understood the import duty is granted in return for the Civil List, but not to relieve the proprietors of lands from all burthens. He further states that the amount of im port from produce was taxed in 1839, on the returns of 1838, but not one shilling of the proceeds have been ap plied to the public expenditure. The Immig ration . Ordonnance being passed in the terms of the draft sent out from the Secretary of State, leaves the annual amount applicable to carry it into effect.

One of the leading conspirators is the Bishop of London. We by no means intend to vindicate the schoolmasters. In the Scholastic Journal they corn plain of being regarded by parents as inferior to trades men. But it cannot be denied that the schoolmasters have too closely imitated the clergy, and as the latter have driven a servile trade with religion, so the former have driven a similar trade with instruction. What the Scholastic Journal observes of schoolmasters puffing off their schools, and underselling each other, is too ' true ; and it cannot , therefore, be denied that school masters have combine d with the p ublic to de g r ade their very useful, not to say noble callin g . It is on their con duct that the clergy b uild their ho p es of suc cess. They are discredited with th e p ublic, and theref ore the clergy hope tohfey them a y Bishopsupe of f l them, the pr o f esse d ob jecton, and oth ers , as expounded in the R e p ort of the Metr opolitan Insti tution in Rosc-street, is "to provide better and more extensive means of instruction for that great division of the community which may be said to lie between those who arc brought up at our uni versities and our old classical schools." - the Church commercial schools will therefore take from the school, masters of the middle classes the bulk of their paying scholars. Local schoo ls, in conne ction with a central I establishment, are to be formed, and the essential part 4~. "‘t ~-~~ EVENING EDI lON. COURT CIRCULAR.

Euryanthe, Weber's well-known romantic opera, was produced here last night for the first time. It was admi rably performed, and drew a good house, notwithstanding the attraction of a Derby day at Epsom. This opera was first pet formed in Germany in 1823, and was produced in this country, by the German company, at Drury-lane, in 1 533. The plot may be described thus :—Adolar, Count of Nevers, son of Louis the Sixth of France, is about to be united to the Princess Euryanthe of Savoy. A vil lanous noble, Lysiart, who has been scorned by E ury . aethe, plays the same game with Adolar that [achimo does with Posthumous—insinuates doubts of his lady's faith, and the dispute ends in each wagering hi s whole property on the event. Lysiart, by the help of Eglantine, a damsel whose rejected love for Adolar had turned into hatred, gets possession of a ring belonging to Euryanthe, which he produces as a proof of her guilt. Her in fidelity is execrated by her lover, the King, and all the Court; and Adolar intends to avenge himself by her death. However, she afterwards appears, all alone, in an exhausted state, in a wilderness, wh ere she is found by the King and his attendants whilst hunting. Protesting her innocence, she is immediately believed by the same people who had spurned her previous asseverations ; and falling into a swoon, s h e is carried off as dead, amid the lamentations of the party. Meanwhile Lysiart takes possession of Adolar's forfeited castle of Severs, and is about to marry Eglantine, his guilty confederate. Bet in the midst of the bridal pomp the lady is inexplicably seized with a sudden fit of frantic remorse, and in her ravings discloses her perfidy. Euryanthe and Adolar now come upon the scene we do not well know how. Lysiart (somewhat like lago) stabs the wom an who had proclaimed his guilt, and is seized and carried off to receive his punishment. The lovers fly into each other's arms, and a joyful chorus, of course, forms th e finale. There arc some mysteries and prophecies er, n , nected with the ring which serve no purpose, that r,, , in discover, in bringing about the denouement. These, it must econftssed, are rather fragile materials for the construction of a grand . opera ; but t h ere arc many s ituations of great dramatic Interest interwoven with its progress, of which Weber has not failed to avail himself. There is a great deal of fine music made to sympathise with the unfolding of the plot, and all of it that is choral is most striking and effective. The overture was en cored. The beautiful conclusion of the first act was also encored with great fervour. It is unfortunate that the music: of the four leading pa: is is ail very detailed, and most trying to the powers of those who have the task of sustaining it. Her Pock alone did justice to his portion of the score. His recitative and aria, at the commencement of the second act was exceedingly fine, and by much the best bit in the opera. Madame Schwanbeck played Euryanthe with great zeal and much merit. The spirit with which she took the lead in the chorus ending the first act, had not a little to do i 7 bringing on its encore. Schmetzcr also deserves applause for his manifest anxiety to execute his task effectively. The opera was Well brought upon the stage, as far as the dressing of the corps drconatique was concerned. The house Was well at tended, and the audience seemed to have been Well p'eased with their entertainment.

Louis PHILIPPE'S PORTER. —One of the concierges at the Chateau of Neuilly has for some time given symptoms of mental alienation, among which, that of the almost tonstant use of a fowling-piece, which he was perpetually firing about the park and gardens, was one of the most prominent. He has been accordingly removed for a short period into the country under medical advice. KING STANISLAUS POSIATOFFSKY.---DUr• ing the course of these visits, I was forcibly struck with the great and amiable qualities of King Stanislaus Poniatoffaky. With a noble 'and feeling heart, he displaced a highly cultivated mind. His taste in the fine arts, for winch he had an enthu siastic love, was strictly classical ; and his conversation, sup plied from such sources as these, could not fail to interest and please. His own natural bent and disposition would not, I think, have led hint to that totterin g . eminence on which it was his ill fortune to be placed. As a private individual, no one was better qualified, both by nature and education, to bestow and enjoy happiness ; bet as the head of a turbulent nation, and of a still more unsPAiled constitution, he could never conciliate the affection of. his people, because they were unable to appreciate either character or his station—Me/swiss of the Princess 1 1 ) ,ashkate.

RUSSIAN COURTIERS.—OiI another occasion this empress ( Anne of Russia) expressed a great curiosity to see the Russian dance, and ordered four of the principal beauties of St. Petersbur g to perform it in her presence, The Princess Daschkaw's mother, then in her zenith, and famous for her grace in (lancing, made one in this group, but whatever their sense of such an imperial honour might have been, in dis tinguishing them above their fellows, they were nevertheless so intimidated, and trembled to such an excess at the severe glance of the empress, that, losing all presence of mind, they forgot the figure of the dance, and, amidst the general confusion and dismay, were stuldenlr electrified by the approach of her Ma jesty, who had risen from her seat in a rage, and advancing to wards them with the utmost dignity, gave each a sound box on her ear, commanding them instantly to begin over again, which they did, more dead than dive.— Ate.ll ,- )i rs of the Pruiresi; Dasclikow, N ;Y . t of is love' Wel l roul to 0° s itio o orte l i the retie" , t 1 34 I jig' sired t pd en fic" or se d$Y5 h the 11l of avA gi i a ' thci in le 106 lig; Oa Or ,lu •ral nq and the of she see lost I le ea
