LONDON: SATURDAY, AUGUST 15, 1840. The desire for Corporation Reform, and the plan of it, did not originate with the Tories. It was called lot by the people, and the Whigs obtained, by a Commission, the cvideace which Parliament required to justify it. This was more especially the case in Ireland, where the Corporations were avow. edly exclusive, and were intended to defend usurpa tions. The Corporation Reform in no wise origi nated with the Tories. Eom the first they declared themselves hostile to it ; they opposed it both in England and Ireland with their utmost strength, and only conceded it when they saw that resivance was hopeless, and that longer opposition was more injurious to their party than submission; It sprung from the people, it had their welfare for its object, and was conceded to meet their views. It is a good practice to allow that power which originates a measure to carry it out in its own way, and on its own, principle. The army, for example, originates with the Crown, and the Crown settles the whole of its discipline ; and all the officers and inn are taught to look solely to the Crown. Every attempt to bring that body under popuhlr control, has been met by almost universal opposition. The same fact is true of the administration of the law, and the few Judges who are placed under popular control serve to show the value of allowing one principle to determine all the conditions and all the parts of any institution. We must guard ourselves against being supposed to imply that if the whole adminis tration of the law depended cn popular election it would be a public injury. We think the reverse, We Aouid like to see the system spring entirely from (be people ; we are only now referring to the present practice as an illustration of the propriety o f allowing that }Jrinciple, whatever it may be, which is the sonl of an institution, to dictate and cnitrol all Its parts. It is generally supposed, let us further observe, when a nation is obliged to submit to a conqueror— when, after making as noble a staid as possible, it is subdued in spite of all its exertions, that it is wise to make the submission without any reserve, and allow the conqueror to settle the affairs of his colAtiest after his own fashion. What he has won by his sword, he is to regulate by the same weapon, and, being gratified by success, submission may make his yoke light. The Tories have wholly despised these prin ciples and maxims, and when they could no longer resist with safety the public demand for Corporation Reform, they have refused to allow the people or their agents and represen tatives to settle the conditions. They have been conquered, but insist on irritating the con qu:.ror. They kindl e hi s anger, and force him to take yet stronger measures. They have yielded, but Lave insisted, by brandishing their swords in the face of their master, o n s h ow i ng that the ) are ready and willing, and only want the power, to fall on him again. Such is the extremely foolish con duct of the Tory Lords in marring the Irish Muni_ cipal Bill, which they could not stop , y uni- The were b fairly beaten, but they insisted o n placing their insulting, but not binding, fett ers on the Catholic willions. Their folly is illustrated by the proceed ings of Mr. O'CONNELL. At a great meeting of the Repeal Association, on Monday, he moved and carried unanimously a series of resolutions, o f which we quote the following ; " Resolved—That the Bill for the alteration of Mu nicipal Corporations in Ireland has passed under cir eumsta-nees and in a manner the most derogatory and insulting to the people of Ireland—a vicious ingenuity baying been successfully used to render that me asure disgusting i to all sects and part i e s, and, instead of doin g away existing and proved grievances, bec oming in itself one of the most contemptuous oppress i ons that could have been inflicted on a brave, a generous, and a loyal nation. " Resolved—That we do not think it possible to find a s i ng l e I r i s h man of any sect, party, or persua sion, who can be so fatuous, or so blind, as not to perceive in the mode of passing, and in the provisions of that Bill, the most decisive and conclusive proof that neither the Irish people, nor any portion of the Irish people, can expect any fair, just, or equitable, or dispas sionate legislatio n from a Parliament influenced by many If the worst, as well as many of the most contemptible, enemies of Ireland." He then calls on all Irishmen to rally for the sacred cause of their fatherland, and offers the right hand of honest fellowship and the heart of affectionate conciliation to all who have hitherto opposed Corporate Reform. The same Dublin pavers which contain these resolutions, contain an account of a complete split in the Tory party, which must serve to strengthen Mr. O'CONNELL, arid iGry 14i Cif v:;“fle Ir:311 people by tl - ,eir noxious wnindinents to the Corporation 8..1, had been vindicating any great principle, or" stand ing up for any great act of justice, we should have excused them ; but when, in defiance of justice, to show their dignity, they gathered up the fragments of their withered and broken power, and bound them afresh on the Irish millions, their conduct was as unjust and vicious as it was foolish and insulting. They have only irritated their masters, for the Peers live for the millions, not the trillions for the Peers. If they suppose that they will be backed by the English in keeping these puerile chains on the Irish they are wofully mistaken. Whatever of unpopula rity now hangs on the Whigs comes from their imi tation of the Tories. The masses may dislike the Whigs, but they deeply mistrust and intensely hate their opponents. The ravings of a few parsons, the personal predilections of the Peers, most of whom are members of the Anglican Church, the daily false • hoods of the Tory Journals, may have misled the Peers ; but if they rely on the English to aid them in reconquering Ireland for the behoof of the Protestant parsons, they lean on a broken reed. They cannot of themselves compel the Irish to subiiiit, and the bulk of the English will make common cause with the Irish against them. They had an opportunity, by a graceful concession, to have conciliated those whom they have tried in vain to subdue ; they have only aggravated their host lity, while they have increased their power. The Cor poration Bill, contemptible as it is, is one of Mr. O'CONNELL'S instalments, and he is already using it to compel the Tories to pay in full the sum he claims for Ireland. The Church-rate contest at Rochdale was full of the vices of a political struggle, and should be a solemn warning to the priesthood how they, in the name of religion, bring about similar scenes. A Church-rate fight, is however, in preparation at Docking, the final resolution of the Rev. Sir IL OAKLEY, the Dean, having been taken on the when he referred those who wished to avoid such a contest to his Churchwarden. It is not indeed too late for the Rochdale case to influence his judgment, and alarm hir,. for the consequences of a Church-rate contest in Bocking. Much aliena tion has already taken place ; the Curate has been canvassing the rate-payers ; the friends of religious liberty have taken the same course ; the forces on both sides are drawn up and numbered ; and it de pends on the Rev. Dean to give or withhold the signal for engaging in battle. On him, then, will rest all the responsibility. He says, in his reply to the friends of religious liberty, that the Churchwardens, in the discharge of their duty, cannot take any other course than that which the law prescribes. But in England the law is nothing separate from the people, and if they do not choose to carry it into execution there is nobody to call them to account. If the Church wardens of Bucking and the Rev. Dean refrain from putting the law into motion, they will never be called before any Court for their neglect. It is a poor subterfuge of the Dean, let us tell him, though his courteous parishioners do not use such plain language, when he implies thi.t the Church wardens are compelled by the law to provoke a Church-rate contest. The law is, in this case, less wicked than the Dean. For five years it has been suffered to sleep by an arrangement amongst the parishioners, and they who now rouse it into activity will have to answer for all the mischief it may cause. The friends of religious liberty in Bucking do not anticipate a defeat. From their canvass they are led to believe that 133 votes will be given for a rate, and 199 against it. There are 119 neutrals who will not vote at all, and most of whom would vote against the rate were they not coerced into neutrality by the power of the corrupt pro-rate party. If we may judge from the number of notices of motion left in the order-book of the House of Commons, the next Session of Parliament pro mises to be a busy one. Some of these drafts on the future may perhaps have been entered on the record, from a consciousness on the part of Hon ourable Gentlemen, that the past has not been so fruitful of exertion as their constituents might have had reason to expect. Mr. B. BALDWIN, for instance, has put down I his name for four motions—two of thr m for Select Committees, the third for a Bill, and a fourth for returns of a somewhat voluminous description. This Gentleman got into the Representative As sembly through the usual means adopted by the Tories—means so well understood that it would be an utter waste of time to describe them—and has hitherto very discreetly, in our opinion, played the part of dummy in " the House." Why he should relinquish a part that suits him so ad inirably it is not for us to conjecture. Some other Tory legislators figure in a similar way in the list ; but on the greater proportion of the notices no sus picion can be supposed to rest. Among the motions in question, there is one which appears to us eminently worthy of public support. It is for an address to her Majesty, praying that she will be graciously pleased to direct that in future no person, being a clergyman, shall be put in the commission of the peace. If the clergy were what they ought to be, and what they pretend to be, ministers of the Gospel of CHRIST, they would be the foremost to petition for the ex clusion here recommended. But unfortunately they are much more in love with temporal than spiritual offices. The bench has more charms for them than the pulpit, and the consequence is that they are almost equally ill qualified for both. It has been laid down as a settled point by the most able and conscientious ministers of the Church in her better days, that the duties of the pastoral office require the undivided attention of the pastor, be his talents what they may. If his heart be in his otlice, it is utterly impossible that he should have either leisure or inclination for avocations alien from its duties. If lie is " instant in season and out of season," as he ought to be, in the "salvation of souls," he will find the day too short for his necessary labours. Such a minister does not content himself with going in a cold and lifeless manner through the routine of the Church service on Sunday. He is no t sat i s fi e d with administering an opiate to his congregation from the pulpit once a week. He finds something to do every day of the week, and every hour of the day. Let those who complain of the hostility shown to the Church by the majority of the people, and of f the want of respect shown to her ministera, say whether they ever knew a clergyman devoted heart and soul to his calling, and making conscience of his duty, fail of commanding respect, even from the greatest enemies of religious establishments. It is because there are so few of such clergymen, that establishments are so unpopular. The defects and vices that might have been overlooked in the system, had the cif rgy been faithful to their trustawd exemplary in their conduct, have nothing to screen them from public view, nothing to shield them from public in dignation, but stand out in their native repulsive ness, inviting attack. Now, of all the offices which a minister of the Gospel deserts his post to fill, that of a magistrate is perhaps the most detrimental to his usefulness. Not only does it give him a taste for honours quite out of keeping with the honours of that kingdom which we are told is not of 11113 world ; not only does it occupy a large portion of that time, the whole of which is not sufficient for the ministerial duties rightly performed ; not only does it secularize the mind, by withdrawing it from its spiritual ein- I ployment and directing it to civil and patty objects , but it exhibits the messenger of charity and mercy in the odious light of an inflicter of punishment— too often exhibits him in the character of a yin dictive and cruel persecutor —t o those who ought to love and reverence hint as a friend and father. Some days ago we published the Report of the Select Committee on Trafalgar -square, accompanied by some remarks on the extraordinary conclusion at which the Members had arrived. The site had Woods b o c d e s n and of been granted by the Commissioners o f Forests more than six months ago--it had course approved of by the NELSON Fund Committee, and about 2,0001. of the money subscribed had been expended at the moment the Select Committee made their report; yet all these Mr. GALLY K NIGHT and his four supporters disregarded, and announced, THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDA V, AUGUST 15, 1840. in the name of the Committee, that they " are unable to avoid arriving at the conclusion that it is undesir abic that, the places{ nt selec . ed:' I in the situation ,vhi,2k, „ t -.r~. clq ; alit '• It ii is de,ir• able in a great city to suggest the idea of space, and having once obtained space, not to block it up again ; if the general architectural effect of Trafalgar-square, or of the buildings around it, is to be at all considered ; or if at any time an equally conspicuous position should be desired for any other monument, the situation at present se lected for the Nelson Monuazent is most unfortu nate." Our readers, no doubt, were puzzled to make out the meaning of the last paragraph ; and we confess that to us it was totally unin telligible, till we looked behind the scene, an:l saw the parties at work. We then discovered that the entire object of the scheme was to take the affair out of Mr. RAILTON'S hands, to have another competition, not for one, but for two pillars in that very space which they had resolved would be " blocked up again" by only one ! This modest and consistEnt proposition, it appears, was made by a professional gentleman, Mr. COCKEREL ; it was embodied in a resolution in these words—" Mr. COCKEREL proposes that two columns should be placed in the area of Trafalgar square—two equal columns, the one in honour of NELSON, the other in honour of WELLINGTON," and it was finally rejected with much difficulty. We find also that all the important paragraphs in the Report were carried by a majority of only one, and that the principal paragraph,. recommending that toe site should be altered, was carried by the c , ,sting vote of the Chairman, Mr.GALLY KNIGHT. We look upon such proceedings as disgraceful to professional men, and to those who abet them The same miserable, petty jealousies and squabblin_gs, pie yailed to an enormous ext e nt when Mr. BARRY gained the prize for the Houses of Parliament— they have also delayed, for at least twelve months, the rebuilding of the Royal Exchange ; and if the Report of this select Committee were to be attended to, a great portion of the money subscribed for the NELSON Monument, would be absolutely thrown away. The NELSON Fund Committee, however, as will be seen in another part of the Paper, have taken no notice of the Report, they and the Government will treat it as so much waste paper ; and all that remains for Mr. DALLY KNIGHT and his professional men is the mortifica tion of having made, for what reason they know best, a vain attempt to obstruct a great national undertaking. the Marseilles and Toulon papers various commu nications from Constantinople ?r , .(1 Akxnndr;.l: $.ll - • French ar-pr rlJtln &qua, a war between England and France, which titi iii be found in another part of The Sun. The omission of an especial reference to France in the QUEEN'S speech proroguing Parliament, has given great dis pleasure to the French Government, and on Thurs day produced a decline of 1 per cent. in the Funds. In the mean time our ears are stunned with the noise of French preparations for war. Ever\ port of France reverberates the bellow of furnaces, Gad the clang of hammers and anvils. Waniors are enumerated by hundfrds of thousandi, awl war vessels by scores. France has dreadv demanded the extraordinary credit of seventy-sixini:lions of francs, placed by the Chambers at the disposal of the Ministry, so that the national outlay is at tlis moment at the rate of fifty-six millions sterling— being seven millions sterling above the ordinary ex penditure of the country. This is no joke to with It looks very like laying the toundation of a new national debt. The National derives consolation from the dis sentions among us as exhibited in the savins and doings of Messrs.

Our patience begins to get exhausted. The British press has dune every thing in its power to promote a good understanding between the two countries ; but France, instead of responding to such pacific appeals, appears to treat them as if dictated by fear. This cannot be tolerated. All the noise in the maritime ports of France, and all the warlike despatches in the ilioniteur, and all the threateninis of the Fiend' press, have not awakened the shadow of a shade of dread in an English bosom. We do not make war like our naked ances tors, when the Romans first invaded our coasts. Loud cries and the clangor of shields are not now requisite to inspire us with martial ardour. We can imitate the valour of -HOMER'S heroes without their boasting . ILATEST NEWS FROM AMERICA. ' i A DAYS f4lZu H I, VE AX. the arriv , - yestenlay, at Liverpool, in ten days from Halifax, we have re ceived New York Papers of the 31st of July. Tbe news brought by them is not of much political im portance. There was, however, a very great de cline in the Money Marker. Since the last arrival from New York, dated the 20th of July, United Staten Shares fell from 704 to 61-2. The weather was very fine, and the crops more than usually abundant. The first bale of new cotton was shipped on the 11th of July from New Weans, which is a month earlier than the first shipments for the two previous rears. The New York Courier and Inquirer of the 27th of July, in re viewing, the state of ►trade in that city for the pre vious week, says--" We regret to be compelled to say that the week just cloned has not presented any diminution in the depression which pervades all kinds of business. On the contrary, the ru mours afloat respecting the solvency of institutions which have acted an important part in the monetary Concerns of the country, have had anir:jurious effect. Though heavy transactions took place in . Srocks on Saturday, they were generally at a decline. Up wards of one thousand shares of the Bank of the United States weie sold at a fall of 1i per cent. We believe the Committee appointed to report on the situation of the Morris Canal and Banking Company have not yet entered on the task they have undertaken. We understand the Committee is composed of Mr. Cryder, of the house of Mor rison, Cryder and Co., of London, Mr. Isaac Carow, Mr. Schuyler Livingston and Mr. Peiretto.

Mr. INNES left th e co l on i es with the conviction that the abolitioni s t s were not i acting with as much' prudence as zeal. " Had the cy. ability, influence, and outlay," he says, " brought to bear against the slave trade, been judiciously ingharn directed in furtherance of measures to render free a's Mo labour in the colonies of this country cheaper than slave labour in foreign colonies, my conviction is )f Perth that the slave trade would have died a natur a l den in t entitled death, from its being no longer ' gainful guilt.'

ANOVEII, AuG.B.—The 28th No. of the first part of the Collection of the Law, published this morning, con tains the Constitution of the kingdom of Hanover, and a Royal Rescript for the prorogation of the General Assembly of the Estates of the Kingdom. A preamble to the former announces the fact of the conipletion of the Constitution, with the concurrence of the Estates, and orders it to be strictly observed in every part of the kingdom. The Constitution is counters gne(l only by the Stale and Cabinet Minister, Baron Von Schele. PRAGUE, JULY 31.—1 n p roportion to the approba tion of the great majority of the public of the funeral ceremonies in the Protestant Church on the 19th of July, on the death of the King of Prussia, is their re.ret at the unpleasant consequences which have resulted to some of the parties concerned from this ceremony, which dountless originated in the m ist. laudable motives. At present we can only state the following particulars, amidst the confixting accounts in circulation. The pastor and eiders of the Protestant community are said to have given notice beforehand of the intended solemnity to the chief of the police, a man highly respected by all classes, referring to asirnifarsob amity that hail taken place at Vienna. They received the assurance that there was no objection, and the manuscript of the sermon, being communicated by the pastor to the President of the Government without any observation, he considered himself as suffic.entiy authorised to perform the cere fenny. M ea ntime, one of the authoriti es h a d imp red of the police at Vienna, and received for answer Ora the t ceremony could not be allowed. It is presum d t h at must have been very important reasons f or t hi s prohibition, from the fact that though it was received after the performance of the ceremony, and it would therefore have been better to pass it over as already done, yet by the express order of the Minister of Police a very vigorous investigation has commenced against the Protestant clergymen, of the issue of which some appre hensions are entertained. Without considering the sub ject in a religious point of view, this proceeding is the more remarkable considered politically, at a moment when we are told from the most different quarters that Germany must seek its political salvation in the closest union of Austria and Prussia. It is well known that a great stress was laid among us on the fact, when, at the death of the Emp Tor Francis, three years ago, funeral ceremonies in his honour were performed in different cities of Germany. —Hamburg/s Papers, Aug. 11.
