The Free Tr -.dere of Yorkshire having determined to bring for. ward Mr. COBDE.'I4 for the West Riding, in opposition to Mr. Beckett Denison. the confirmed Monopolist, we feel it our duty to address you. We are not suprised that a feeling of indignation should prevail at the prospect of the return of Mr. Denison as the colleague of Lord morpeth, and we rejoice that the character of the Riding will be vindiesi-d. and its reputation sustained, by a contest the issue of which we cannot for a mome , ..t doubt. o,r expectation that I.lr. Cobden will be the choice of the electors of the West, Ridaig, is founded upon the belief that his great menaces are appreciated by a constituency which in past times tura done so much for freedom, and on the undeniable tact that there ir a vet"' large majority on your register in favour of fi ee trade and Is liberal policy. To send Mr. Denison to rarliament is to give your sanction to principles which, when you last elected Lord Morpeth, you emphatically condemned. It is to neutralise and destroy the influence of your county—it is virtually to disfranchise the thirty thousand men whose names are on your electoral roll. Are you prepared still to maintain the glorious cause which your Course on that occasion so signally advanced, or shall it be said that you threw away or undervalued the triumph your exertions had won ? ELECTORS OF THE WEST RIDING i Yesterday Mr. Villierswas chosen by the vast constituency of South Lancashire to represent them in Parliament: not a voice was raised against him, so great have been his services,—so noble his sacrifices for as and for you, and for the country. Is not the West Riding equally willing, as we know it is able, to set the seal 01 its commendation on the fellow- abourer with Mr. Villiers in the greatest victory which the people have gained in modern times? Mr. Villiers for Sbuth Lancashire, and Mr. Cobden for the West Ridi..g, would speak to the empire and to the world as the irrt•ver sible verdict of the British people against the delusion and oppres sion of monopoly. We have forned ourselves into a Committee for aiding your exer tions, and shall especially address ourselves to the non-resident Electors of the Riding We rely on your zeal and determination; we know your power ; we have a firm Confidence in your resolu tion to be free. We therefore exhort you, as brethren in the same good cause, to make one effort, and for ever dispel the delusion that Monopoly has still a resting place among the Electors of the West Riding! On behalf of the South La^eashire Com•nittee for as sisting in the return of Mr. Cobden for the West Riding of Yorkshire. GEORGE WILSON, Chairman, Manchester, August 5, 1847.

THIS EVENING faction. It is alinost due to the once maligned isrsises plea with which the name of Mr. Vitaanns has be come so gloriously associated, it is almost due to the character of the Hon. Gentlem an the Member for Stockport, that the man who, during so many suc cessive sessions, demanded f r om the floor of the House of C Annsons the abolition of the restrictive duties upon foreign corn, should re-enter that Hoe noureble house as the refatesentativo knight of one of the most important counties in the United Kingdom. However much Wolverhampton might exult in the retention of its now celebrated Member, we are persuaded that that eminent constituency will eagerly sacrifice its own laudable predilections for the ad vancement of the rights and the consolidation of the power of the liberal possessors of the franchise. Mr. VILLIERS, it must be remembered, was for years the scapegoat of all the puling sarcasms and malapert panci-s of the then formidable and predominant party of Protectionists. In a manner be was the recipient of as many indignities and gibes as was the elder BRUTUS, - but, unlike that antique patriot, he abstained from raising the avenging hand in the days when his long-sought triumph had arrived. Throughout the stormiest time of opposition he was foremost in the ranks of the free-traders, bearing the brunt of that prolonged battle, and accumulating on his own head almost all the obloquies and vitupera tions of his Conservative antagonists. When the agricultural Moloch was at length destroyed, and the principles of perfect emancipation to commerce recognised as most in accordance with the divine laws of nature--and the sublime ordinations of Christianity, the Hon. Representative of Wolver hampton in no way endeavoured to continue promi nently before that public whom he had served so gallantly, and for whom he had borne so much abuse and so many reputable reverses. The greedi ness of the baser class of reformers found no sym pathy in his disposition—he had none of that ignoble hungering after applause and notoriety which is the curse .;of the political Sir EPICURE MAMasoss. Neither, on the other hand, did he evince any tokens of satiety in popular agitation; he was no legislative ennuyte, no democratic POCOCURANTE, disposed to yawn over the excitement of partiei, and the clash of opposing argu ments. Such fictitious patriots there are, there have been, and there ever will be, as long as there are pro vocatives of a man becoMing blase, or, as Mr. BOURCI CAULT has translated it, utterly "used up." But among these the Hon. CHARLES PELHAM VILLIERS can most certainly never be enumerated. His career from its commencement has been modelled upon that wisest of all systems, the juste milieu. In adventur ing upon the conquest of a thousand agricul tural prejudices, he was bold without auda city, and in assisting in the downfal of pro tection, he evinced generosity without display ing weakness. As the Protective system was essen tially the pedestal of the statue of Conservatism, in the destruction of that pedestal the sisperincumbent mass was in like manner dashed into ruins. Here was an opportunity for exultation ! Here was a theme for a peen ! Mr. VILLIERS betrayed an entire indiffer ence to that oppiirtunity. The incubus of the industrious poor was removed—the enemy of the laboaring classes was overthrown—the corn laws were abrogated. The work which the Honourable Member for Wolverhampton had originally mapped out for himself was accom plished; his most cherished aspirations were realised; and, satisfied with this position of affairs, he seemed in the very flush of victory to seek the shade of re tirement. It is well, therefore, as an expression of national gratitude, that the Hon. CHARLES PELHAM VILLIERS should enter the New Parliament as the knight of a shire, and it is better still, as an ex ample for all future politicians, that the modesty of this patriotic representative should be so responded to by the community. Hence, we are peculiarly, re joiced that the Member for Wolverhampton has been returned by the constituency of South Lancashire' The tug of war has commenced in Ireland, the nomination of the several candidates for the City and University of Dublin has already taken place, and, practically, Mr. JOHN REYNOLDS 15 the only oppo nent of the former Members in the city, if indeed, he has been enabled to overcome the difficulty inter posed in the way of his ambition, and to lodge his portion of the 2,5001. which the High Sheriff is autho rised to demand for the erection of polling booths, and other legal expenses connected with the election. A discussion took place on the occasion of the nomina tion, the Counsel for the Conservative candidates con tending " that if Mr. REYNOLDS refused to deposit the money at the moment, the returning officer was bound to declare those who were happy enough to posses 4 the requisite funds, and willing at once to place them in his hands, duly elected," a doctrine, by the way, which was recently acted on at Derby, and by which the hopes of a Mr. Nl‘Grtaxu were prematurely nipped in the bud. Mr. REYNOLDS, however, was more fortunate in the present instance, inasmuch as he was given until twelve o'clock on Wednesday (yesterday) morning to pay his proportion of the expense, amounting to 8331. 6s. 81, before which time it is to be hoped that the enthusiastic advocates for a domestic legis lature may have subscribed the necessary sum, which, if it had no other effect, would, as Mr. REYNOLDS beau titully expressed it, have the effect of "sending round the circulating medium, and making Messrs. GROGAS and GREGORY pay out the cash." The Rev. TRESHAM DAMES GREGG indulged himself in the cheaper luxury of proposing a congenial spirit, Mr. Ml:a -rena) FERRAND, the fugitive from Knaresboirough (tor, happily, no deposit is required to place a candi date in nomination, nor is any liability thereby in curred unless a poll is demanded), and thus was enabled to deliver himself of a two-hours' harangue, denouncing Sir ROBERT PEEL, and almost every one else, except the object of his unbounded admiration. Poor GREGORY'S anti-Maynooth vote, his constant and unceasing Toryism, nay, not even the " quarter-acre" clause itself, were sufficient to vindi cate his character in the eyes of the rampant Boa nerges. He was accordingly subjected to the ana themas of the Orange champion. GROGAN fared somewhat better, the reverend gentleman being con tented with administering a slight castigation or his past misdemeanours, and announcing his intention to afford him a locus penitentice, and to try him once more. We suppose that if the wanderer should, during that probationary period thus generously be stowed, retrieve his character by proposing the re peal of the Emancipation Act, the re-enactment of the penal code, and a few other similar measures, he will be received with joy, as a repentant sinner by the Jupiter tonana of the Orange party. In this case, however, there was no hope of procuring the funds demanded by the inexorable Sheriff, and the end and object of the proposer being attained in the delivery of his diatribe, it was declared that his protege would not go to the poll. Surely such an exhibition is too ridiculous to be tolerated in the very metropolis. It exhibits in the stron ges t li ght the depth to which the doctrines of repeal and ultra- Orangeism have simultaneously fallen in the pl ace appears retired that which in wa s th e C o O n tic Detythoef stronghold Dublin a o Mn t N bo u t o h E . NT I : t a publican, has announced his intention of contesting the representation on repeal principles, and as he possesses a considerable portion of worldly goods, it is probable that he will not be deterred from going to the hustings by the formidable demand of the returning officer. Where are the Roes and the Cros thwaites, the Brabazons and the Evanses, that they s c h it o y ul a d nd su e ff o e u r n t t h y t eo o nly opposition to the Tories in the be offered by Mr. JOHN REY.. HOLDS and Mr. NUGENT ? In the University the contest assumes a more serious aspect, and there probably it will be carried on with the utmost vigour and activity. No less than six aspirants to the good graces of the electors have come forward, five of whom are strong Conser vatives, and the sixth (Professor BIiCuLLAGH) a li beral and enlightened politician, a man of tlrquhiirgehdea sc i en tific attainments, who has already acquired European reputation, and who, in the words of his eloquent proposer, " had done more to make them acquainted with the laws of nature and th e i r myste rious workings, and with the arcane of science, than any living philosopher." The two late Members, strange -to say, are not even " alumni" of the University they were selected to represent. It is well known that no person, however great his abilities and distinguished his position, however emi nent as a scholar, an orator, or a 54t014111 3 1 would for a Will be !resented THE HEIR AT L kW.

They would conceive themselves (anajusinj, dishonoured by so doing ; it would be a tacit admis sion that they possessed no child worthy of so high an honour. The were suggestion would be scouted with the moat unanimous indignation. We believe that a graduate of Qx.ford or Cambridge would sooner vote fur a person opposed to him iu every political feeling and sentiment who had obtained high honours during his collegiate career, than one who, agreeing in every particular with his views, was yet a stranger to the Alma Mater. It. remained, however, fur T. C. D., as if anxious to merit the ignominious appellation of " the Silent Sister" that had been bestowed on her, to return two gentlemen educated at the rival seats of learning as her repre sentazives to Parliament. The learned and eloquent proposer of one of these gentlemen thought proper to designate this as a futile objection. We must, how ever, be permitted to douot if it will be re garded as one of so very trivial a character by the constituency. We are well aware of the anxious desire that formerly existed to retrieve the character of the Irish University by selecting from amongst her many distinguished children two fit and proper persons to give expression to her feelings and defend her rights and privileges in the Imperial Legislature. Mr. J. NAPIER. Q.C., has been a scholar of the house, and on every occasion during his collegiate career afforded evidence of his great and varied powers—powers which have since raised him to his present distinguished posi tion as a profound lawyer. Mr. KYLE, too, the son of a man who for many years presided over the University, obtained honours at every examination, and concluded his under-graduate course by obtaining the highest distinction attain able by a student, the science gold medal. Dr. GIFFARD, the editor of the Standard, is so well known, that it is unnecessary to say anything on his behalf, save that he also was a distinguished student and graduate of Dublin College. The five gentlemen are, we believe, nearly identical in political feeling; in this respect there is little to choose between them. There is nothing that can possibly be brought against Professor APCULLAGEI, whose every act from his earliest boyhuod points him out as a person who would do honour to any constituency. We can not believe that claims such as his can be overlooked, and we trust that he may be returned, and that the University of Dublin may free herself from disgrace, by returning with him one of the three gentlemen who were educated within her walls as his colleague. We dissent from the political views of each of those gentlemen, but there could, at least, be no reproach if she selected any one of them, in place of the gra duates of Oxford. A letter from the Hague, published in the Inde pendence Beige, gives the following account of the differences which are said to exist in the Royal Family of Holland : Y.,u are aware that the inhabitants of the royal re sidence have f)r a long time past been accustomed to have the most improbable and the most scandalous re ports circulated among them and believed, the greater part of which art. utterly devoid of foundation. We are generally very prudent, and avoiri givi ng c i rcu l a ti o n to such rumours. Nevertheless, the report, according to which the Prince of Orange thinks of renouncing his eventual rights to the throne, is given out under such auspices, and surrounded by such ciicunistances, that I think it my duty to communicate it to you, without, how ever, wishing to give it more authenticity than it really deserves. For a long dine past people have been speaking of the ,erious differences between Kin William 11. and the Prince of Orange. On the other ham), the Prince of Orange lives on the very worst terms with the Princess, his wife. This difference, we are assured, arises from a cause so delicate, and the consequences of it would be so deplorable, that we abstain from making it known. At all events, if the causes to which these auuoling dis sensions in the Royal Family are attribute I are true, the resolution of the Prince of Orange would be the immediate and forced consequence of it. In consequence of this circumstance, joined to numerous others, the Prince of Orange has declared his firm resolution to re. trounce his rights to the succession to the throne. ‘• He is said to have communicated this resolution to the Princess, who immediately wrote to her father, the King of Wurtemberg, and explained to him the reasons which had led to a resolution which would have the effect of depriving her of a throne that had been pro mised to her, and which also alarms her as to the rights of her son, the Hereditary Prince, who, some day or other, should succeed to his father. It is in this way the unexpected arrival of the King of Wurtemberg at the Hague is explained. I shall make no comment for the present, but I may as well mention that the King of Wurtemberg, in place of taking up his residence either at the King's palace or at that of his sun-fn-law, has taken rooms in the Motel de ]'Europe." In the sitting of the Swiss Diet on the 30th ult., the President communicated a letter addressed to him on the previous day by the Vorort. In this document the Vorort called the attention of the Diet to two dispatches of great importance, which had been addressed to it by the Cantons of Berne and Tessino. The Berne dispatch stated that from the reports sent to the Council of State by its officers, it appeared that the Canton of Underwald was erecting fortifications on that part of its territory which is contiguous to that of Berne, and that meetings of the citizens of the Valais and of Underwent took place at the village of Meyringen, with the object of arranging the military and other measures to be taken under the present conjuncture of cir cumstances. The dispatch from Tessino announced that ammunition coming from Lombardy had not ceased to traverse Tessino for the Cantons of the Sonderbund ; that this circumstance had caused a great exasperation among the population of Tessino, and that part of the ammunitions had been temporarily stopped at Lugano by the people. The perusal of these two dispatches caused great sensation in the Diet. The Deputy of Zurich proposed that a committee of seven should be immediately nominated to examine into the matter, and to submit to the Diet such measures as it might think advisable. The Deputy of Lucerne opposed the motion, as he did not see what it could lead to. The two cases, he added, seemed to him very simple, but he would not say more on the subject at that moment. The Deputies of Uri, Schwyz, and Underwald thought it perfectly natural that the Cantons threatened with aggression should neglect nothing to resist it; and the Deputy of the Canton of Fribuurg said that the matter was not worth the trouble of being specially taken into consideration. Several other Deputies spoke in support of the motion of the Deputy of Zurich, which, on a division, was adopted by twelve and a half States, viz. :—Zurich, Soleure, Schaffhausen, St. Gall, Argovia, Tessino, Geneva, Vaud, Thurgo via, Grisons, Outer-Appenzell, Bale-Campagne, Glaris, and Berne. The Diet . then proceeded to the nomination of the Committee of seven. Five Liberals and two Radicals were chosen, and among them M. OCHSENESIN. The States of the Sonderbund strengthened by Neuchatel, abstained from voting ; and the half-states of Bale (Ville and Campagne), and of the two Appenzells, could not agree as to the choice of their candidates. There were, therefore, only twelve tickets deposited in the urn, but each of the seven gentlemen was elected by ten or eleven votes. The Deputy of Neuchatel desired that it !tumid be recorded that his reason for not taking part in the vote was because it was the consequence of the resolutions against the Sonderbund, which he had re fused to support. The Diet then proceeded to deli berate on the subjects on the order of the day. ; - I, A T .ONDON-1: 1 41 , 113' T Morning.. 16 minutes after B. Itvenlnu ... 54 .14nnt• .r,er B. Accounts from Athens tothe 30th ult., state that not a single Member of the Opposition has been returned to the new Chambers. This fact speaks volumes as to the manner in which COLETTI must have proceeded to have procured this wondertial unanimity. It is supposed that COLETTI has at last determined to make the required apologies to the Turkish Government for the insults offered to M. MIJSSURUS. A letter from Athens, July 20, says that the Greek Minister of Finances had placed 500,000 f. at the dis posal of the British Government, and was ready to give a draft to that amount on M. EYNARD. Official notice to that effect was given to Sir EDMUND LTO/78 on the 19th, by M. COLETTI, the Minister of Foreign Affairs. We read in the Diario di Roma of the 24th ult.— " The movement operated by the Austrian troops to reinforce the garri.on of Farrara has furnished an occa sion for spreading in the provinces, and in this capit.l, a belief that they were preparing to spread t , em4elves over the Pontifical territory.

The nevi' law on the press gives grunt satisfaction, and the journals are written with freedom and moderation. The censorship, however, has prohibited all mention of the events of Sienhi. Are read in a letter Without date from Bologna " On Sunday. the 19th ult., four Pontifical narabineers, at Faenzs, disguised iu plain clothes, were at the moment of the ave Maria. that is. at halt- past eight o'clock in the eve,ing, t make an attack upon the Swiss soldiers of the garrison with tnu,k-ts, and thus make them be lieve that t h e ejtizons had r.volte4l, - and under this per suasion the Swiss would have fired in return, and a civil war wou . d have ensued.

Letters from Constantinople, of the 31st ult., an nounce the total defeat of the Kurd forces under BEDERHAN BEr and MATIMotrD, Khan of Van, by the Ottoman troops under EUMER PACIIA, SABRI PAcne, and Eats PACHA, on the 15th of June, on the left bank of the Tigris. The loss of the Kurds was 800 men, that of the Turks 400. BEDERHAN BEY, abandoned by .. I klAustom KnAN, had taken re fuge in a fortress. HALM PACIIA has been appointed Grand Admiral, in the room of MEHEMET Au PAcHA, the brother in-13w of the SULTAN, who is accused of peculation. The Madrid mail of the 29th had not arrived in Paris, when the post left. We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday. The Count DE MONTALEMBERT, on Monday, in the French Chamber of Peers, following the example first set by Lord LYNDHURST in the British House of Peers, gave a review of the session, which brought up M. GUIZOT, who made a long but by no means satisfactory speech in reply, and who was received very coldly. The Constitutional thus describes the scene : "M. de Montalembert delivered to-day what he wittily called the funeral oration of the session; he briefly de scribed its deceptions, miscarriages, inanity, deficits. find scanials. Omitting to notice facts of pecuniary corrup tion, which are less frcqu nt in our time and in our country than under the ancien regime and in other coun tries of Europe, M. de Montelainbert strongly attacked electoral corruption, that is, the purchase of suffrages by means of the distribution of putdic works and the nomi nation to salaried functions. That sort of corruption, everybody knows in France, is the evil of the present day, the primary cause of the depravity of public murals, the encouragement to avaricious passions and the special crime of the Cabinet of the 29th of October. This was called by M. Guiz at the abuse of influences, and M. de Mont a l em b ert summe d i t u p in these th- ee p o i nts , unfortunately i ncontesta bl e . Ist. Everybody in Frauce is anxious to obtain a public situation ; 2d. The dis pensation of ail functions belongs to the Govern ment; and 3d. Every" office is now given with a view to strengthen the Cabinet in the elections, either to recom pense services or to seduce wavering consciences. M. de Montalembert concluded, a s might be supposed, that the remedy to that evil, the means of restorieg the purity of morals and rendering elections incorruptible, would be to bestow on France the liberty enjoyed by Belgium. M. Guizot replied by a loeg, coil, vague, and sophis tical speech, listened to by the Chamber with a chilling silence, which, in that assembly, as remarked by M. de Montalembert, is the ordinary condernnetion of orators speaking on the wrong side (Attie question. Everybody admitted that the session had been sterile. mi. Journal des Debuts itself confesses it in rather energetic terms, so that there is not at this moment in Paris a single journal that does not upbraid the Government for its inaction, indecision, went of resolution, and system. M. lituizot, however, does not accept such a reproach. He doematicaily demonstrated that the session should be sterile, because every first session of a legislature must be so. He next adduced another axiom of the same stamp, namely, that the majority of the Chamber of Deputies was alone competent w decide whether the Government had employed corruption and recurred to the abuse of influences in the general elections I Let us fancy a majority, of which a great number of members owed their election to that abuse, and were consequently interested in denying its existence ; in vain would all the electors have a personal know ledge of facts of corruption ; in vain would public con science accuse the administration ; in v a i n s h ou ld mora l that citoirsrtryptibu•y its v.p t e 4 , t o ena bl e the m did not ex i s t. M . G u i zot proofs be multiplied ; it would be sufflei en t f or th e m tojurity latter to d cover eclare the Ml defied M. de Montalembert to adduce proofs of' its exist ence. This is very bold, even in th e Ch am b er o f Peers, and we are surprised that M Ania son D uperron, for instance, whose mouth was clos e d some d ays ago, did not rise to tell M. Guizot to his face everything he k ew. Electorial corruption is an :averred and incontestable s o p a t o h t : nteirte, inpdsr.eafeTrtmahzeenct-c:nitireNac'et:rereac(;)eriPitalsoiatp n,)t, tact.

The Chamber of Peers replied by murmurs to the Minister, who contested its compen ncy co j u g ge questions of electoral c orruption,conceivine that it had likewise a right to attend to the maintenance of political morality in the country. T he assembly was not less wounded by the strange reply returned by M. Guiz it to those who reproached him fur having appointed M. Teste Vice-President of the Court of Cessation after he witiidrew from the Admini tration. Red not he Cham berosen M.

Gma:zdoet, observed that it was improper to compare the situation of the two men, and that the Chamber could not have had any suspicion as far as M. Cublares was concerned, whilst the Ministry had ample reason to suspect M. Teste. M. Guizot compared himself to Washington in concluding hie speech, and demanded time to improve the public morals. If we were'td - judge by the progress which the Cabinet has imparted to political and private morality in France durieg the last seven years we may safely con fide in it to promote the reign of virtue, provided we grant it a few years longer to exist." The National has the following on the interview which took place between its responsible editor, and the Juge d' lnstructton, on the subject of the scandal which it brought to light by referring to the regis tered deed of the corrupt bargain for securing the passing of the Paris and Meaux Railway Bill. "One of the responsible editors of the National ap peared yesterday b e fore M. Legonidec, Juge Instrue lion, charged to examine into the scandalous bargain of which we published the enregistered deed. Our editor had only to repeat the precise indications of our article. We published an official extract from the archives of the registration ; we gave the numb,- r of the volume, of the page, and of the divisions of the inscription. It wet extremely easy for the Judge to cause the register to be brought before him, in order to verify the textual and perfect exactitude of our copy. As CO iitherinformation, it is the duty o f j ust i ce to seek for it, and as well-known proper names are cited, the task does not appear to us to be difficult. But since M. Delangle has done hie duty on this occasion, why does he not prosecute on the denunciation of an act perfectly analogous to this, and which has the merit of nut being so far back ? We refer to the offer made of a bill in favour of the post - horse-mesters, in return for a sum of 1,200,000 f. We seek in vain the motives of the indulgence of M. Delangle. Where is the difference between' the two Lets denounced ? Th re is only one, and that is that in one case the bargain is enregistered, whilst in the other it is not. Does that suffice for the parquet to dispense with entering into an examination ? It is ex actly as if prosecutions were confined to cases in which offendiers are caught in the act. Remark, however, the difference of the proceedings : we published a deed in which an offer is made to present a Bill in return for 450.000 f., and at th instant we are called on. A Deputy denounces from the tribune, and re eats in a journal, that M. Grainer de Ceseagnac offered exactly the same bargain to the post- to.rse masters in return for 1,200,000 f.; but this Deputy is not called on. Let it not be hoped that the public will he deceived. There is an air of employing a fine zeal respecting an 'Am of a Bill which dates from 1841 ; but this zeal will appear more suspicious so long as an analogous act, and of a much more recent date, shall not be prosecuted. Th , public does not deceive itself by hh in a deceitful appearance. assagnae stood high Granier d e C • the confidence ttf eig Ministers, and pf l ea di ng mi n ion% He ill de- n minced, publicly d enounce d , and if he be not pursued it is because his revelations are dreaded. This motive alone explains the conduct of M. Delangle ; but this explanation accuses himself, and causes the responsi Witty of an act qualifi, d and punished by the Penal Code to ascend higher than he. Tho parquet, which to-day retuses to execute the law, expose s itsOf to the deniand being one 'lay ma& for a severe accuuut of this grave failure in its first duties!' In the same journal we find another eorrupt bar gain denounced in tha following terms :.... " Revelations succeed each other with alarming ta , pidity. We hare often raised our voice against the immorality of public companies and against the cor ruptions of the Government, but, in truth, we did not believe that the evil had taken such deep root. It is with great difficulty that the .Ministers can be induced to make a judicial inquiry, and when the law officers do interfere, discoveries of an incredible nature are made. It is easy to conceive that MM. DUCILATEL and HEBERT are not anxious to inves tigate the case of the 100,000 francs paid by the director of the third lyric theatre, or the sale of a parliamentary Bill in favour of the postmasters. The result of the trial of MM. TESTE, CI;BIERES, and PELLAPRA—the incidents of the dispute between the shareholders of the Munzoua mining company—the publication of the statutes of the Algerian Society— ought more than ever to cause their Excellencies to persist in covering those seanchls with a prudent silence. The Coarrier de la Moselle, in its number of the 31st of July last, gives a new example of the danger of such investigations. There is another sus picious convention about to be discovered, in which companies, it may be said, constitute a budget of corruptkn, and which appears to have become a form in the deed of co-partnership of joint-stock com panies. We find the following in the Courrier de la Moselle : " We have received the following letter from a per son holdine an elevated p os iti on at M etz, and who ought to be well intormed, which signalises a striking analogy between the - itial vitiating to the salt mines ut Gouhenans and certain details but little known rt-lative to another salt mice lat e ly b roug h t b etoce the Royal Court of Metz . " July 30, 1847. " t The last number of your journal, when publishing the pleadings in a trial relative to a concession of mines in Algeria, signalised with reason for the intoimation of the country those suspicious clauses in the statutes of the deed of partnership which place considerable sums of money at the dispo , al of V - e directors without oblig ing them to account !or their employment. One is na turally induced to suppose that, as in the affair of Cu bia es and his co accused, those sums constitute the bud get of corruption. It is to be remarked, moreover, that whatever be the period of the constitution of these com panies, whoever be the Minister under whose juri,dic tion they full, we see almost always the same suspicious clauses inserted in their statutes. We found such clauses in the deeds constituting the company for working the salt mines or Gouhenans and the mines of Algeria, and we now find them in the company con stituted for working the salt mines of Salabronn. In the Royal Court of Metz M. Met lie , the King's Advo cate, remarked the analogy which existed between the, latter comps.) , anti thaw of tiouhenans. M. Dorr hs:v ing been pressed by the court to account for the exr 2 en diture of a large sum of which the application was eon. cealed found himself wider the necessity of producing letters from a person named of Paris, tarrn e dy a receiver general, which admitted the receipt of that sum of money. Those letters were impounded at the demand of the Attornev•General. We shall, perhaps, be in formed of the object at a later period. As those. tacts are but little known, you. Sir, will no doubt consider it ut general utility to communicate them to the Parisian public through ttie press." _ _ _ M. PAGES (de l'Arriege) has been returned for Toulouse is the ro.rn of M.

The KING and Royal family were to leave Paris for Eu on Tuesday. The 6azette da Midi, of the Ist inst., mentions that it was reported on the Marseilles Bourse that an attempt had been made against the POPE'S life.

Racine's tragedy of ifillirbute, which has never been played in this cowl' ry, and which has almost disappeared from the French stage, was produced here last eveni , ig, for the benefit of Mademoiselle Rachel, who appeared in the character of Monime, the young betrothed of the mighty Mithridate,__but T the be:oved and th e l over o f hi s son Xiphares. his character has none of those outbursts of intense passion in which Rachel is so great. It 13 acharacter of grief and suffering, and in the representation of the intense yet d.gnified sorrow which is the charac teristic of the part Mademoiselle Rachel was pecu liarly happy. After the play her sister, Mademoiselle Dinah Felix, a little girl of twelve years of age, re cited two of La Fontaine's fables in the most naive and engaging manner imaginable, and appeared afterwards in a vaudeville. Mademoiselle Rachel was called for at the fall of the curtain, and was loaded with bouquets. To-morrow evening she appears in Virginie, and this brings to a close the very success ful season of 1847. It is impossible to permit the season to close without congratulating the public on the fact that the French plays have now regularly taken their station as part and parcel of the amuse ments of this metropolis. Fur this, be it never for gotten, we are indebted to the enterprize, the good taste, the generous liberality, and the sound judg ment of Mr. Mitchell, who, by the exercise of these qualities, has secured the services of all the great French artistes in turn, and has thus achieved a triumph and a lasting success, where his predecessors have failed. DISGRACEFUL PROCEEDINGS IN TAUNTON. Violent rioting after tile election on Friday destroyed the quiet of this generally respectable town. The Tory or Blue party, as they delight to be called, being un able by numbers to carry their man, determined, if p,.6- bible, by brute tome to prevent the Greens tom carry tug theirs. Accordingly a mob of Litt) or sixty ruffians, well provided with gin, beer, and hl cl;:eons, tell on the procession, took away ail the banners and destroyed them, a ad made an attack on the car which contained Sir T. E. Colebrouke who was obliged to be carried Into a house near tor protection. Mr. Lsoouchere escaped without any attack. the virluence of the mob being directed to the second man. The higher prey escaping, they descended to lower, and broke sixty squares at the London Hotel, and altogether acted so riotously that the magistrates were sent for to read the Riot Act, which, bow:.ver, was not resorted to. This was Frioay Saturday was comparatively quiet. The Sunday was to be the climax of absurb partizanship. The Rev. ;)r. Cottle was solicited by the late and present members for his vote ; there were no signs or oppo sition ; he voted according to his word, for he is not • political man—such daring audacity was not to be en dured, and an unusual number attende the church on Sunday, men who baldly ever we t before, others who regularly attended other places of worship. The curate p d o his largewa hatitjhu the ; 3 ibu e immediatelynra oaislet true withread prayers, the d oc t or mounte d the pulpit to preach, a b twoihisu o hundred whoanit e,,n rasa, , followed ln; fellow was s t ati one d at t h e d oor to give tne signal, which he ede deblfellow holdingw walking desecrated the " teture of the Most High" by walking out of the church and shuffiing their feet, and walking heavy to make more noise. The singing was nearly drowned by the disturbance, and all this because Dr. Cottle voted for the Liberal candidates. He kelingly alluded to it, as he commenced his sermon, as being sup ported by a friend above who could sustain him under such a lamentable exhibition of petty malice as the con gregation had just witnessed. On Sunday evening a Si milar scene occurred with the "smaller fry," a few men ant maid-sers ants emulating the example of their bet ters, but it was not of sufficient importance to hinder the doe or preaching a must eloquent and impressive sermon. AN ENOLtsll Row VERSUS THE PADDIES. --Early on M .nday morning last, about six o'clock, a row and a fight took place between the English end Irish labourers on the Huddersfield and Manchester branch line of rail way, near Cooperbrid,ge, in which the latter sustained s i 4eu i defeat. At the hour above specified a great num ber of English labourers assembled together on the line and proceeded along it with the avowed intention of driving the Irish" from off the works, but finding th e "gems of the say" rath e r obstinate, they rem ove d t h e handles of their pickaxes, and converted them into blud geons (and very formidable ones they are); a battle en sued, and after some time, with plenty of hard knocks, the Paddies retreated; some few (a score or so) main tamed a doeged resolution to remain, but were over pottered by numbers, and actually thrown over the eta baukinetit, reth , r consid , ranle height. The Engli+h having been informed that a body of Parlandershad de ployed t o D e ' ghton, arid ensconced themselvesin hopes of a re f uge, the visitors proceeded thither with their face s blackened, arid drove the Irish out of the village by force of their b!trigeons. During Monday several of the iatjur d parties applied lor summonses against their per secutors. No satisfactory reason has been assigned, that e can yet learn, tor this outrage, unless trots* s we rumou rs as to the strange und unexpected verdict of the jury on th e late trials ler the Mirtieht murders at bolt — Halifax Guardian.

In respect to the weather it was not so favourable as could be desired, rain being much needed, but there had been partial showers before the packet left.

The scarcity of food in Barbadoes, owing to the dry weather and the absence of imports from the United States, was muen felt,. Trinidad was flourishing. and from Batba.does there is nothing particularly new. The disorganised state of aff&irs in Mextco, and the vigorous efforts making by the republic to oppose the Americans, seem to promise yet a lengthened conflict, unless the latter push forward in the face of every ob stacle, the sickness prevailing among the troops being the worst feature.

The illustrious advocate of free trade in promising to Mr. VILLIE its the knighthood of a shire, was not vaunting the possession of any ideal or chimerical power. He was merely pro- claiming the necessity of affording to the first Parliamentary champion of free trade the m ° 4 brilliant recompense that the influence of the renowned Leag ue could ensure.
