Last year, about this time, a great outrage v FBA perpetrated in Birmingham. A body of men as sembled in the outskirts of the town, tore up the iron-railings from around the church, broke open several shops, set fire to some houses, threw the furniture into the streets, marched in a tumultuous manner about the town, and committed no incon siderable quantity of mischief. In the annals of our police, and in the larger annals of our country, that will be recorded as one gross outrage commit ted by a mob. No person speakirg of it would describe every one of the proceedings of the mob, from arming ;themselves, till they set fire to the houses, as a separate and substantive outrage. But because that is not done in the police reports in Ireland, and when a mob of Irish peasants may set fire to a house, shoot at a man, knock furiously at a door, throw down a stone dyke at one place, demand arms at another, on one and the same evening—because the police describe their proceedings as one outrage, mention ing the particulars of what they did, the Tory journals assert that the police falsify the reports, in order to represent Ireland as more tranquil than it is. This is another of those mare's-nests which the Tory journalists have of late so frequently found. It is of a piece with that important dis covery which the Times patronises, and for which its "Veteran" vouches, of a machine to blow up navies and fortresses almost at the antipodes, and render the whole art of war less worth than hand loom weaving. If the Times has given up the hope of blowing up the fleet, it suoposas still that it may blow up the Ministry, and a torpedo or a police report will answer that purpose equally well, if it can only be made to explode. That Jour nal has now, however, so frequently invented fables, that it has come apparently to believe them, and seems no longer able to distinguish truth from fiction ; but the public do not practise its arts, and escape its credulity. They laugh at its torpedos, and are quite convinced that if the Ministers do not sink themselves, they will never be bl own up either by its police or its-marine inventions. The former is such a palpable attempt at imposition, that till we saw it more than once repeatedly noticed in the Ministerial Journals, we did not think it worthy of a single remark. When the Standard and The Sun agree, the public may be morally certain that what they say is strictly correct. Such an agreement is found in the following paragraph : 1 The greatest perhap s of all the benefits of the Reform Bill," says the Standard, " and its benefits arc manifold, thoughnot so numerous as they ought to be —the that t htt• grea throw?' o test of the `Sts resulting-fro m r e f orm , i 5, ipe n th e Government, formerly held ' 1 .n strict monopoly by a close corporation of red lapis's • i a nd practiced statesmen, as men unembarrassed by . ri;;;;.ples of any kind were P °l4 0 - 1 Y called,. ail taken hal- J P partially from opposite parties. A coalition at present would be regarded by the country—and justly so regarded—as an attempt to restore this mo nopoly of the close Corporation of red tapists and practical statesmen, and thus deprive us of the greatest benefit that we owe to the Reform Bill." , To have got rid of the routine class of statesmen is an inestimable benefit. It forces those who would obtain power to ponder deeply over events, and it compels the people to apply a very different test to the conduct of statesmen than the catch words of party. The substitution is of things for names. The old routine being at an end, both statesmen and the public must look to prin ciples for their guides. With routine, of course, prescription is at an end ; and every politician is obliged now to give a better reason for his conduct than that he is following the steps of his prede cessor. But what are the principles which are to be sub stituted for routine ? The Standard is for cor recting every institution by a religious test, and, according to it, every measure is good or evil as it bolsters up the dominant Church, or places all : religions on a complete equality before the law. Every human affection, every earthly interest, every political, civil, and natural right is, according to the Standard, to be trampled under foot to res cue the ascendancy of the Law-Church. We need not inform our readers that on this point we totally differ from the Standard. It is under this aspect, too, especially worthy of notice that the routine red tapists, the practical statesmen of whom the Standard has now such an abhorrence, acted on the very principle of the Standard. Their test of all measures was the security of the Church, and the illustrious warrior who first and most widely de parted from the red tape routine left it to emanci pate the Catholics, That single fact is sufficient to prove that the principle of the Standard cannot now by any possibility be acted on, and that both politi cians and the public must look beyond the Church for the light that is to guide their steps. The Standard is ready to adopt the principles of the Constitution of 1688, which, for a Tory and a Divine-right journal, is most marvellous. It is deceived by its own phrases. The Constitu tion of 1688 nominally asserted the supremacy of Protestantism over the Papacy ; really, it asserted the principle of the supremacy of the people over the throne, of the public welfare over the esta blished institutions of the country. It asserted the principle of freedom of religion, in opposition to a would-be dominant sect; and established the right of private judgment in defiance of the autho rity of an infallible Church, and the Divine right of Kings. It set up the Protestant Church al.ove the Papal, because the latter was then the tyl- ant, and the former struggling for freedom. Now the Protestant Church has changed places with We Papal Church. It claims an infallibility, e:id it insists on political regulations being all framed to secure power and wealth for it. The Roman Catholics are now treated by it as it treated the Papists. It is, in fact, a new Papacy, without the sanction of either tradition or prescrip tion. The nominal principle, therefore, of the Constitution of 1688—the ascendancy of the Pro testant Church—will no longer serve the purposes of statesmen. It was the routine principle of the red tapists till 1829. Without entering at the end of an article into an investigation of what principles statesmen ought to follow, it must suffice at present to assert, with the Standard, that prescription is at an end ; and he will be the most successful states man who discards the routine of his predecessors, and frames his policy on the principles of justice from an enlightened anticipation of the future. The laws he makes, the poJcy he pursues, are not to in fluence the past. which has escaped beyond tire power of man, but the future ; and he must look chiefly to that, unknown though it be, to guide his present conduct. We give in another part of The Sun, a report of a meeting, from an Edinburgh paper, for the purpose of showing the tyrannical conduct of the modern Pharisees—the Agnewites, towards the poor, and at the same time to express our delight at the returning good sense of the Scotch people. The Church functionaries of the largest parish in Edinburgh, St. Cuthbert's, or the West Kirk, had adopted a resolution prohibiting all funerals within their bounds during Sunday, on the plea, no doubt, that the burial of the dead was not an act of necessity, and that the Divine displeasure would be incurred by returning to our mother earth the body of a brother or sister on that day. Shame on the hypocrites ! This extravagance was insufferable even for the inhabitants of Edinburgh; the Sabbath men bent the bow till it broke, and a large meeting assembled, on Tuesday last, to testify by their resolutions, that, come what may, they will not be tyrannised over by men more fit for Beci',lam than a Church Court. The chairman, Sir JOIN GKAHAM DALYELL, properly de scribed th ose pests of society in these words— There was a strong disposition in certain quar ters to trample on the rights of the poor, and to arrogate an authority which never belonged to an) set of men." A journeyman mason also dis played much good sense on the occasion, and from the manner in which he was cheered we begin to entertain hopes that the working classes in Scot land are no longer to be led blindfold by Church men who, under the pretext of Divine authority, but in reality for their own selfish purposes, would impose on them the most grievous burden that ever oppressed a Christian people. " They did not ;seem," said he, "to have any idea of tthe manner in which their regulations af fected working men. They were quite an irresponsible body, and tho only way to get rid , of their withering, pestifercrus influence, was to :break up the connexion at once.—(Great ap 'plause.)" Let us hope for the honour of our country, and above all for the furtherance of the .Divine truths of the Christian religion, that the con -nexion will be broken, and that, while professing to be Christians, we shall no longer be scoffed at as the only real Jews in Christendom. The result of the meeting at Edinburgh only confirms what we have repeatedly asserted on this subject—that the oppressed classes will begin to inquire what authority there is for these absurd observances, and, finding there is none, will treat the Agne w . ices, both lay and clerical, as the most arrogant impostors. The Times of this morning, alluding to The Sun and its own wonderful announcement, says, " Our Contemporary, that at first blustered most loudly, now, in place of contradicting, lends circu lation to our articles, and some who came to mock, remain to fear." We never ventured to contradict the Times, for we know nothing whatever of the invention it writes about. That is exclusively known to the Times, the " Veteran of 40 years' stand ring," and the profound inventor : we only laughed 1 :at the bombastic and absurd inferences of our Con temporary. We have given circulation to his article, as we give circulation, occasionally, to all the opinions and statements of ourConternuoraries ; and that the Times should infer approbation of its I remarks from our having inserted its last article on the New War Power, without making any corn m ents, betrays an eagerness to have a certificate of , I , prura l under our hand, whether it be filched or 0 rged. After all that the Times has written on the su b. l ec . t., we still disbelieve the wonderful tales it has i THE SUN, LONDON, SATUR Y, SEPTEMBER 12, IRA announced. Not that we pretend to set any bounds to human invention. The prediction of DARWIN— " Soon shall thy arm, unconquered steam, afar Drag the slow barge, or urge the rapid car," Commissioners, as announced by she Augusta Agc. Two of the Commissioners have arrived in Maine for the purpose of entering upon their duties. It is pro bable that some delay will be occasioned by the non acceptance of Professor Cleveland : " We understand that the commission will divide it self into three parties ; one to proceed from the head waters of either the Connecticut of Kennebec, north easterly along the highlands ; another to commence at the Bay of Chaleur, and proceed south-westerly towards the first party ; and the third party to start from the Monument of Mars Hill and proceed northerly to the highlands, alleged to exist, and claimed by the British Government to be the true treaty highlands. In this way, a perfect and accurate survey of the whole ground will be effected, and our Government put in possession of all the facts, necessary to meet the new argument now made by Great Britain. has already been fulfilled beyond even his sanguine expectations. In spite, therefore, of the sceptical sneer of CANNIN9- " Then may bland Darwin teach the winds to tame," we will not assert that man shall never be able to accumulate and govern the electricity of the atmos phere—to form the thunder-cloud--to collect the sources of typhoon in his hand and become its mas ter ; and shall never be able to direct these mighty powers of nature against a foe—destroying a navy, or even levelling Gibraltar with the ocean; but we assert, from the history of our species, that such a vast discovery is not to be made all at Every human invention, even the steam engine, manifold as were the improvements made by WATT, has grown up gradually. Every art has been slowly and progressively improved ; and every practical improvement has required the skill and knowledge of many persons to carry it into effect. Not denying, therefore, that the Times may be acquainted with some profound genius who has discovered the means of governing lightning and hurricanes, we opined that he could not carry out his invention without much assist ance—that his secret, being entrusted to others, would soon be no secret at all—and, that if he were so superhumanly virtuous that he refused to use his power to enrich himself, that others would not be equally moral, and that the enemies of Great Britain would speedily become as knowing as our selves, and that all being equally armed, this won derful power would be of little or no national advan tage. At the same time we added that we had seen or heard of so many inventions of this kind which had turned out failures, that we could not believe that the man of the Times had become the master and the god of the lightning, without a better au thority than that of the Veteran of forty years' We have received the Paris papers of the 10th. They are chiefly occupied with the Eastern ques tion, which, now that the disturbances in the Ca pital are suppressed, absorbs public attention. The Moniteur publishes the Royal Ordinances relative to the Navy. They are five in number, and certainly sufficiently warlike. One grants to the Minister of Marine an extraordinary credit of 3,483,000 f. A second directs an increase of the effective force of the Marine Artillery. A third orders a similar increase of the effective force of the Marines. A fourth creates fifty new permanent Companies of seamen. A fifth increases the num ber of sub-engineers of the dockyards, of the offi cers of the military administration, and of the In tendance Militaire. The others refer to measures formerly taken. In the same journal are advertisements for ten ders to supply the following articles :-.-Ist, Of 800 plates of zinc for sheathin g , iron p o i n t s , an d i ron and copper screws, destined for the naval establish. ment of Indret ; 2d, of 300 tons of Italian hemp for the use of the navy at Toulon ; 3d, 80,000 lbs. of sheet zinc, and of 600 pieces of pine wood from the Landes, for Rochefort ; and 4th, of 900,0001b5. of reek coal for coke, 410,8001b5. of superior sheet iron in bars, and of tallow and candle necessary for three years' consumption in Brest dock-yards. It was rumoured also that the Moniteur of Friday would contain a Royal ordinance for placing 25,000,000 francs (about one million sterling), at the disposal of the Minister at War, to defray the expense of fortifying France. These warlike ordinances and reports had the effect of depressing the French Funds still further. The Three per Cents. left off at at 72f. 25e. ; the Fives at 1041. 50c. The Courrier Francais discredits the report in the Augsburg Gazette that 18 Russian ships of the line were to leave Cronstadt for the Mediter ranean, and adds, " the Russian fleets will remain in their harbours ; they will not venture into the Mediterranean, because England would take um brage at their presence, and France would not per mit it." once. standing. Supposing, however, that all which the Times has asserted on this subject be strictly true—and being found in the leaders of that Journal would be even more marvellous than the invention—that it would be of eminent advantage to our country must be doubted. The true foundation of her maritime superiority is the vast extent of her seabord—far greater than that of any other empire—the fami liarity of her population with the sea, and the great number of her sailors. But these elements of great ness would be of no avail against a mechanical power which could annihilate a fleet at several miles dit:,- tance. Were such a power to be found out as described in the Times, it would be impossible to keep the knowledge of it from other nations ; and the inventor, if the ordinary policy of Govern ments be worth a straw, should be at once seized and hanged, to prevent a secret becoming known which would put an end to our maritime supe riority. The dominion of the sea would then belong not to the nation which has most ships and most daring seamen, but to that one which should perchance col.tain, or could fashion, the greatest number of these new lords of the atmosphere. The Constitutionnel publishes a letter from A'giers of the 30th ult., stating, on the authority of a letter from Gibraltar of the 20th, that on that day a consi siderable quantity of artillery, amounting to upwards of 600 rampart pieces, with their carriages and of gun powder and ammunition of all sorts, was embarked on board a 74 - gun-ship. A regiment of infantry was also shipped in several vessels, which immediately sailed for the East. The greatest activity prevailed in the har hour and arsenal of Gibraltar, where the Jews were actively engaged in buying up arms and ammunition for Abd-el-Kader and the Emperor of Morocco. Tito Frankfurt Journal asserts that Prince Paske witch would shortly take the command of the Russian army concentrated in the south of the empire. 'lnc same paper states that the Russian Cabinet had ad dressed a most energetic note to the French Govei n went respecting the Polish refugees residing in France. The Courtier Francais states that Admiral Lalande is appointed to command the squadron of reserve which is fitting out at Toulon, and that h e w ill b e ra i se d to t h e rank of '. Vice. Admiral. The National endeavours to explain the serious fall in the funds on Wednesday, by asserting that the mo nied interest are now beginning to be convinced that from the serious aspect of affairs in the East, and the excitement of public opinion in France, that either a war or a revolution is intavitahle. Extracts from the French Journals will be found in another part of the Paper, being further details respecting the affairs of the East, and the state of Paris. It will be seen t! -. .at the Drench Govern• ment have acted with great decision and judg ment, not only in putting down the rioters, but in sending them to trial at once. This appears to have had an excellent effect. The following re marks by a French writer, on the state of France, and the letter to the Commerce, will be read with interest : We have received New York papers of August 20th by the New York packet, Capt. BA RSTOW, and also by the Adirondack, Capt. HACK STA FF. The news from Mexico is of great importance. URREA, who had been in prison, made his es cape, placed himself at the head of the Federalists, and on the 15th of July attached the city of Mexico. After hard fighting they obtained possession of the palace and other public buildings. BUSTANIeNTE, the President, fell into their hands, but having made his escape lie rallied the Government party, and laid siege to the palace. At the date of the latest accounts UrtrtizA and his party still held out ; about 300 pet tons were killed. The following are extracts : (From the New Orleans Bulletin of Aug. 11.) By the schooner Emblem, which arrived at this part yesterday from Matamoras, we have received letters and papers of that port to the Ist inst., and dates from Mexico city to the 10:11 July. MATAMORA3, JULY 30.—An extraordinary express arrived here on the 25th, three days from Tampico, bringing the important intelligence that the city of Mexico was in the hands of the Federalists. In my last communication, you recollect I spoke to you of Urrea, giving you an account of that General since his escape at the battle of Acajete. It appears that he was lately released from imprisonment, followers immediately flocked round him, and the spirit of rebel lion issued forth in the very heart of the capital. The isolation of France has just been comp!, ted by the defection of revolutionary Spain, which declares against Its in favour of England. Thus we have for declared and secret enemies all the powersof Europe, monarchies, constitutional states, countries in a state of revolution. All interests, all principles seem to unite in one common feeling of ill-will against the French Government. Over the extent of nine thou sand leagues in circumference there is not one friendly nation which gives it at least the support of its good wishes. On the 15th, Urrea, assisted by his coadjutors, Go mez Padraza, ex-Vice President, and Gomez Farillas, attacked the palace, and after a bloody engagement, in which 300 men are reported to have been killed, Busta mente was taken prisoner. Before dark the city of Mexico was in the hands of Urrea, who declared himself in favour of Federalism, and he will sink or swim with the cause he has espoused. Subsequently, the Semi nary, the Cathedral, and the Disputation, were taken possession of; these, with the palace, form, the four corners of the square. On the 16th, the latest intelligence received, Busta mente was given his liberty, and the Centralists were collecting their forces to make a desperate resistance. Upon the occurrence of these important events Santa Anna left Vera Cruz immediately in la diligencia for the capital. Generals Wall, Condea, and Canalizo, have left here for the city of Mexico. There is a very small force here under the command of Empuedo, and Matamoros, I assure you, is in a very defenceless state. Arista, who was expected here, is reported to have left Tam pico for the capital. All this is glorious news for Texas. I hope they will not attack this place, for her independence is on the eve of being acknowledged, and it is necessary that she should act with great caution at this moment. fruit r ui t to o of after ten the wisdom wisd y o ea m r s s o ' e rn ff o u r e t h s and Th s i a s cr is ifi w ee h s at ; w th e is h i a s ve the co vaunted by our politician s ; such is their ability. Lord Ponsonby is making great exertions to revive the insurrection in Syria. He has given orders at Malta immediately to send 50,000 muskets to Syria. The proximity of the Allied squadron would be very fa vourable to this new movement. (From the Commerce.) We hope that the following letter from our Corres pondent at Toulon, will at length show to the Siecle the real state of our armaments in the Mediterran : " TouLoN, SEPT. s.—The Siecle in its Number of Sept. 1, states, that the Levant squadron will be im mediately reinforced by the Scipion, the Souverain, and the Ville de Marseilles, and that the crews of these ves sels will be raised to the full complement at the begin ning of September. The Scipion is completely armed ; the Souverain has to-day, Sept. 5, 400 men out of 1,088 that it would require for a full complement ; the Ville de Marseilles has only the Commander on board. " The Souvcrain, as you knew, will not have its gun carriages in less than a month, and will not be ready to put to sea in less than two months. The Ville de Marseilles will require four months at least. " With such facts, I leave the Siecle to judge of the correctness of its information. " Admiral Rosatzel has a bad leg ; this will serve him as a reason or a pretext for quitting his command. The six ships of the line now in the road are—the Ocean, of 120 guns ; the JON, of 90 ; the Trident, Marengo, Alger, and Scipion, of 82 each. Then in the Levant are, the Montebello, of 120 guns ; the Hercule, 100 ; the Suffren, Jupiter, Neptune, Santi-Petre, and Diadem, each of 90 guns ; the Triton, 82 ; and the Alger, 89.* In all, fifteen ships of the line, which we may affirm are perfectly well equipped in all respects. " Certainly we are far from disputing that with these fifteen ships of the line well commanded, our marine might do great things in the Levant, but if we had thougbt proper to exert ourselves these fifteen ships would now be on the Syrian coast, and a reserve squadron would be ready at Toulon. This might have been ef fected with a resolution to be prepared against every event. Instead of that there has been only an appear ance of activity, of w hi c h w e have complained, and the result now proves that we were well-informed." Madrid journals of the 3d instant have come to hand. Public tranquillity had not been disturbed for an in stant in that capital since the events of the Ist. Every body passed freely through the streets, the shops were open, and the city had assumed its usual aspect. The authorities had taken measures for the maintenance of order, and the regiments which had joined the untA miento performed duty in conjunction with the National I Guard. The PRESIDENT had issued a proclamation in which he states that in a few hours public tran quillity will be established. The news from New York possesses lo interest, and come only two days later than our last arrivals. NEW YORK MONEY MARKET, AUG. 20.

HALF-PAST THREE —The French Stocks have again, in conclusion, experienced a fall—the Three per Cents. of 85c. for the Account; from 72f. 80c. they fell to 71f., and close at 72f. 75c. The Five per Cents. opened at 105 f declined to 103 f. 75c., and closed at 104 f. 75c. ; a fall of 75c. When they had declined to their lowest, much business having been done, the market had a very gloomy appearance; the rally took place on its being seen that some rich houses were buyers. But it was, however, strongly asserted that the Moniteur of to-morrow would contain an ordonnarce granting a supple mentary credit for fortifying Paris. It is not improbable that if such a measure be adopted it will by some persons be viewed as a measure to overawe the popu lation, whatever the real motive may be. For Money, the Three per Cents. are 21. 25c., and the Five per Cents., lf. 50c. lower. The Bank of France Shares are 125 f. lower; the Laffitte Bank 5,000 f. Shares 101. higher. The Belgian Bank Shares have declined 301. ; the Bel gian Five per Cents. 1 per cent., the Three per Cents., If. 25c. The Spanish Active is I lower; from 22 it ad vanced to 22i, last price. The Passive has given way per cent. The Neapolitan Bonds have declined If. Sock and the Roman 1 per cent. The St. Germain Shares are unaltered. The Versailles Right Bank alsoy The Versailles Left Bank is opened to-day for the public. and the Shares are 101. lower, as are the Orleans, which i, to open in a few days as far as Corbeil. The Strasa burg to Bale is bElower. These sessions commene: d to-day before the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, Mr. Alderman Kelly, Mr. Alder man Wilson, Mr. Alderman T. Wood, and Mr. Alder man Gibbs. The Grand Jury having been sworn, The RECORDER chsrged them shortly upon the nature of the different cases that would be brought before them. Joseph and Frances Lumbercroft were indicted for keeping a house of ill fame, in the parish of St. Sepul chre. The defendants pleaded guilty to the indictment. The defendants, at the suggestion of the Court, entered into their own recognizances to appear when called upon to receive judgment. William Brown and Mary Brown also pleaded guilty to the indictment:charging, them with keeping a similar house in Butler's-alley, Cripplegate. These defendants also entered into their own recog nizanees to appear to receive the judgment of the Court when calved upon. Several other cases of a similar nature were brought before the Court, and similarly dealt with. First Highest Lowest GUILDHALL-(THIS DAY.) WANTON OUTRAGE.—A respectable looking man, about 50 years of age, who gave the name John Web ster, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Alderman Har mer, charged with wilfully breaking one of the immense squares of glass forming the front of Messrs. Hitchcock add Rogers's shop, in St. Paul's Churchyard. Thomas Stiff, a shopman in the above establishment, said he saw the prisoner take up a large stone and fling it through the window ; the value of the pane of glass which he broke was 151. The prisoner, when asked why he committed such a wanton act said he could not tell. He said he was a glass-blower by trade, and resided in Lambeth. Mr. Alderman HARMER sentenced hint to three months' imprisonment, and expressed his regret that the la* allowed no higher degree of punishment, as he con sidered it the most wanton act that ever came under his notice.

GRAND INSPECTIeN OF THE TWO BATTA- LroNs OP Ft,SILIER GUARDS.—This morning, at nine o'clock, the Ist and 2d battalions of Fusilier Guards marched into Hyde Park, from St. John's-wood and Port man-street Barracks, for the purpose of being inspected. and to go through a grand field-day in light marching or der, before Lords Hill and Combermere, General Sir Hussey Vivian, and General Hutchinson, with a numerous staff of British Officers. At half-past nine o'clock they arrived on the ground, and the troops immediately Com menced operations. The firing of the 2d battalion was most astonishing for regularity, not a single musket missed fire throughout the whole battalion. They used the new muskets with improved locks and percussion -caps. These muskets are about 21b. lighter than the old ones, and are extremely handsome. At the conclusion of the inspection the officers and men of both battalions were highly complimented by the distinguished officers; and at half-past eleven o'clock marched off the ground.

What is the differ ence between the exhibition of pictures in this Palace and in the National Gallery, that one is to be opened and the other is kept closwd on Sunday, we must leave the Bishop of London to decide. The fanatics ought not to tolerate such a discrepancy, neither ought the liberals, and both places should be opened or both closed. We like consistency, and bate half measures.
