On the assembling of the Piers last night Lord F.,TaaNGFORD pr, , sented a pctitien from Norwich against any red icticn of duty en foreign silks. The hand-loom weAvers only imitate the bed example of the landlords, and would be without an excuse were their superiors honest. It would, however, be much less a public evil to tax foreign silks than to tax foreign corn, which is done fur thc lantihrds' advantage. The Marquis Of LONDONDERRY gave notice that he will to-night put a question to Viscount MELroriaNE about Sir DE LACY EVANS' letter, which appeared in 7:be Sun yesterday. In answer to Lord LYlsrollußsT, Viscount AIEL BOURNE stated that he had every reason to believe that arrangements had been made to do away with the sul phur monopoly, and give compensation to English sub jects when their losses can be ascertained. A message was brought down from her Majesty hir'ing at a contingency which may hereafter occur, and professing her readiness to concur with their Lordships in any measures to secure the dignity of the Crown and the rights of the people. This refers, though darkly to the necessity of a Regency, and Vi count MELBOURNE gave notice that he should to day move that the message be taken into consi deratic.n. The Report of the Administration of Justice Bill was hi ought up, and the Bill ordered to be read a third time on Thursday. Lord BROUGHAM took' the opportunity of expressing a hope that a more com prehensive measure m4ht - yet be passed to regulate the appellate jurisdiction. On Viscount MELBOURNE Uloving the third reading of the Canada Government Bill, the Duke of WEL LINGTON said that he continued of the same opinion with regard to the Bill ; but, on the whole, he recom mended that it be sent down to the other House as amended. The Noble Duke complained of the nor.- publication of the despatch of 14th October till Iklarcb, which had been used to influence the determination of the Assembly of Upper Canada in favour of the union. Lord ELLENBOROUGH was of the same opinion on this last point as the Duke. Lord MELBOURNE d• fended the non-publication of the despatch as a matter of prudence, and expressed his rcwret that the Noble Duke should again have an nounced his disapprobation of the Bill. Fite trusted 31,4) that the Noble Duke's antic - pat ions would be de dt ficient in their usual provide nee and sagae:ty. After a short ennve•sation, in which tic E:trl of RIPON and Lord Lirtouottxm took part, the till was pas-ed with amendments, and sent back to the Commons Tl,ir Lordships adjourned. In the Commons, after the presentation of several pe titions, Sir H. Vlvt.tx called the attention of the Hous:! to a petition signed by the Hon. Member for Carnlirt en, which charAed the Reports of the Commissioners appoint. e d t o i nqu i r e i n to packet pits as the most unfounded assertions and the most miscl.ievous recommendations. Mr. R. 0. GORE said it was no; the intention of the potitisners to c Ist any aspersions on Sir F. SMITH or Professor BARLOW. Sir T. TROWBRIDGE wished to heir the same said of Sir J. GORDON and Capt4in BEECIIEY, and gave notice tht he would call the attention of the House to the induct on Wednesday. The Carriage of Goods on Canals Bill was put off sine die. A similar 'Message from her Ma.esty to that deli vered in the Lords, was s,.nt down to the Commons ; and aA Address in answer to it was immediately agreed to nem. con. Lord J. RUSSELL stated that the Bill would be introduced in the House of Peers. It was agreed to, on tl , e motion of Lord J. RUSSELL, that henceforward public business should begin in the House of Commons at a quarter past four o'clock. On the Order of the Day being moved for a Com mittee of Supply, Mr. lIUME called the attention of the House to a petition from Prince Edward's Island, but, as he made no motion, the lion. Member was called to order by the SPEAKER. answer to Mr. BARNEBY, Lord J. RUSSELL said he would propose the third reading of the Constabulary Bill on Monday, and would also put off the Clergy Reserves (Canada) Bill till that day. In answer to Lord G. SOMERSET, the Noble Lord said be would take the discussion on the Railway Bill on Thursday or Friday. Sir E. WILMOT complained of the inconvenience oc ca'sioned to the inhabitants of Birmingham by the ques tion concerning the Charter not being settled, and asked whether a decision respecting its te.lidity would be soon pronounced. - Mr. F. MAULE regretted that neither the ATTOR NEY-GENERAL nor the SOLICITOR•GENERAL was pre sent 19 answer the question. Ccl. SIBTHORP, almost in spite of the SPEAKER, per sisted in asking why the ATTORNEY-GENERAL was not in his place. Lor•,t J. RI'SSELL said he had not quite as much leisure as the Gallant Officer. In reply to Sir R. PEEL, Lord PALMERSTON said that the blame of delay in presenting the Report o f t h .! North American Boundary Commission rested on him • but it is now printed, and will be laid on the table in af . . w d ays, com pi e t e without omission. A proposition for a tietinit,ve Convention, based on the proposition of the United States, his Lordship stated, had been sent to the lioited States. We may hope, therefore, that the oucstion will be speedily , settled. Iu answer to Sir F. PURDETT, Mr. F. MAtti.r. stated that he knew t I no order to prevent Mr. F. OVONNOR, from sending petitions to that House. Mr. HOME found an opportunity of calling the at tention of the Ministers to the consequence of the Crown having made large grants of land in past time in Prince Edward's Island, under certain conditions, winch not nein; complied tvith, the land was escheated to the Crown, and had c ause d g reat inconvenience. Lord J. RUS3ELL stated . that the matter would be attended to, and he hoped, in another Session, to find a remedy for the grievance. Sir S. CANNING next called the attention of the House to the state of affairs at Cracow, and took the opportunity . to pronounce a c ensure on t h e wanner in wh:ch the foreign affairs of the country are conducted. The Hon. Gentleman made no motion. Mr, GALLY KNIGHT hating no motion to second, supported Sir S. CANNING'S observations, and insisted that Lord PALMERSTON'S great o bj ect was to go to war with Rona, an object to atta4 4 w hi c h any Fo. reign Mini..ter who wished it would hardy need to wait ten years. Viscount PALMERSTON lOW Sir S. CANNING that the Nliristers did not pretend to more wi•dom than their neighbours, but they took care to understand a subject before they spoke about it, which be showed the Hon. Baronet did not. The Noble Lord gave. as he well might, a favourable account of our Foreign Affairs. He showed the Government had remon strated against the occupation of Cracow, but could not do more'; he showed also that the Three Powers had acted against Cracow under the iinfluence of alarm, and now that their alarm had sub : sided they would probably attend to our remonstrances. The fault, however, of the whole matter, let us observe, lies in tile treaty promising independence to Cracow, r which has no power of its own, and is surrounded by three great States. For a State to be independent it must have the means of keeping its neighbours in awe, which Cracow has cot, and therefore it is absurd to talk of ita independence. It is equally foolish to talk about England going to war on account of that a iolation of the treaty which destroyed the independence of Cracow.; tor if Cracow had been sacked and burned, it would not have warranted, how ever much that might have been regretted, a European war. An interesting debate ensued, which, having no other object than to enable Hon. Members to speak, when they were tired, the House went into Committee of Supply. Colonel SIBTHORP interposed for a moment with sonic observations on Dr. .13JWRING, which he afterwards repeated in the Committee. In the Committee a lengthened discussion took place, first on a vote for additional seamen, which was postponed, and next on the grant to the Brit ish Museum, which was assented to, and fin-ally on the sum asked for by Dr. BOWRING. Oiie would rattier not have the money than have the roasting the DocToß received. The grant wcis, in the end, carried in his favour, by 98 to 66, so that Colonel SIETHoRp, who h►s long been the Parliamentary per secutor of the DOCTOR, did not last night git.n his point. The House then resumed, and at a Quarter to Two adjourned. A letter, which we have received from 801. . ton, gives an alarm:ng, description of the state of trade in Lancashire, and of the • feelings of the people. The communication of our Correspondent is confirmed by the remarks of the &lion chronicle, and we should not he surprised it the people were to adopt the mea sures suggested by our Correspondent, or something like :t, of refusing to pay taxes. We must say, with ail due deference to those who make and those who administer the law, that the patience of the ;Toole has already sorpassed a:1 reasonable -expec tat;.ons. The account of their condition in many of our large cities, which is contaii:ed in the recent Re port of the Public Health Committee, is quite appaling, and almost makts us dread w bet her they be not too much debased to be sero4bl-• of then. in • juries. 'One-fifth of the working classes of Liver pool, for example, live in ci.lhirs, " dark, damp, confined. ill ventilated, and dirty." One•eigh h of the working population of Manchester live in similar cellars, and so on of the working pnpulati, n of other towns. Thus, the men, by whose exer tions the wealth of those great cities is created, are denied as much of the surface of the earth as will suffice for a habitation. It results from that report that our wotkink popu lation are the prey of disease, and have short but painful lives. They dwell in the midst of filth and poisonous exhalations, and are racked with pains for lack of room and wholesome air. It is impossilde to cast a glance over that Report, without coming to the conclusion that the labouring classes of Eng land, who are, under Providence, the chief creators of all the wealth of the country, the bulk of which is annually created and annually consumed, are as un justly treated as any race of men on the face of the earth. Most of their evils, the scarcity of food, the de ficiency of fresh air, the being crammed into cellars ; or huddled together eight families in a room, may he traced to a want of space. The surface of Eng land is not large enough for the people, and those who own it levy such exorbitant taxes on those who e not proprietors, that they cannot pay them and live. One, large class of reasoners would have the people run away from their oppressors and seek new and better homes in the United States or at the Antipodes. But that would leave uncorrected and unredressed all the monstrous evils which now exist, and which would continue to he inflicted on those who remain behind. With far mcre reason, others contend that the neigbour ing continents should, by our numerous ships and largely adding to those we now possess, be united to England. The surface of the soil is too narrow for us, be cause- it is nearly all required, with our present knowledge of the art of agriculture, to produce food for_the people. To bring large and abundant sup lies of corn from Germany or the United States would be tantamount to adding a continent to England. Not then requiring every corner to pro duce food, more space could be appropriated to comfortable dwellings. There would be no nem -sity to crowd the population within such narrow and offensive limits. lite same absurd and clue! laws which enhance the price of food, enhance the price of every foot cf land in the empire. The cellars and the ill-built small houses, of the large towns, though they breed a pestilence in the land, are a valuable kiiid of property. Repeal the Corn-laws, abolish all the restrictions on trade, and not merely the nei g hbouring continents, the whole earth, for all the purposes of feeding and lodging our ucople, would he added to England. The Great Western, or the still grea•er President, in bringing flour from New York, may be said also to bring fresh air and comfortable dwellings. A people with plenty of food, and the land reduced in price, will soon migrate into daylight and cleanliness. But whatever diff,ieoce of opinion may exist as to the tEct of the Repeal of the Corn-laws, there can be none whatever that the landowners are re spcnsible for the present affi ctino ai!d di,ca , ed con dition of our pcpulation. In addition to being the lords of the soil, dealing with it as they think proper, they have long been in possession of all legislative power. One House of Parliament is composed almost exclusively of landlords, and the other House consists chiefly of them or their crea tures. In conjunction with the clergy they have long possessed the power of governing the country, and of teaching the people, and are responsible for the condition, the manners, the morals, and the well-being of the whole population. We are amongst those who think very meanly of their power to prevent such evils ; but if that be their opinion, and they endeavour to cast off re sponsibility, on the score of the correction of these evils being beyond their ability, why then do they assume to govern, control, and teach the people ? Either they are capable of benefiting the people, and have not exercised their power—and are, therefore, responsible —or they are not, and they are to be condemned as mero quacks and pretenders. They must admit that they have either grossly neglected their duty—of which the condition of the people is the clear, distinct, and undeniable proof, or they must admit that their demand of respect and obedience, because they are able to promote the public welfare, is a piece of arrant humbug. They may choose which alterna tive they please, but from the charge of either mis using the power they rightfully possess, or wrong fully claiming it, they cannot escape. Instead of being surprised at public discontent under g ross misgovernment, we are surprised that the people - should have so long submitted with pa tience to such false pretensions, or to such a mis- • use of just power. Our Correspondent says they will refuse to pay taxes ; it would be better to re fuse obedience to the Corn-law. No landowner has the hardihood to assert that those laws are mr,de for the good of the taxed, stinted. and starving consumers. They are made exclusively to serve the purposes of the taxing, abounding, and revel ling landlords, which gives those laws no claim on either the respect or the obedience of the consumers. Men obey laws for their own advantage; not for the advantage of Others. They Ito not unite in so cieiy to !lorify a King, or enrich an aristocracy, but self-preservatio n and self-proteetion. Ou that principle, and that alone, can obedience be de fended. To ask the heavers to obey laws r, loch merely enr,ch the Engh. , ,h and Irish aristo cracy and starve them, is as absurd as to ask them to obey laws to add to the wealth of Louts Putt,- LIPE. When a law is made for the advantage of ; a caste or sect, and to the injury of the public, it wants authority ; it is an immoral enactment ; it i s I ; adverse to the principles on which s oc i ety i s founded, • and no man has any righl to demand that it be obeyed. Whatever might be the practical effect of resist in a the Corn-laws, theory would supply an ample j us tification of the starving spinners and weavers of Bolton and Manchester, were they, for example, to assure some merchants at Liverpool, if they imported from Odessa, Dantzic, or New York, several large cargoes cf wheat and flour, they would assemble in multitudes at Liverpool on a given day, and dis charge the cargoes and see them transferred into the hands of the millers and bakers without pay ing any duty, and in defiance of those Custom House regulations which go to prevent the intro duction of foreign wheat and flour. By the best accredited theories of society, such conduct would be justified, and it should teach those who make the laws that they ought not to stretch their autho rity too far, and certainly ought not to make laws so palpably unjust and iniquitous, and worthy of re sistanee, as the Corn-laws. The whole State would call on the men of Bolton to pay their taxes, but only a small part of the State would compel them to obey the Corn-laws. If, as our Correspondent say s, they are beginning to despair, it would be more rational were their desperation to take the shape of direct resistance to the Corn-laws than resistance to the tax-gatherer. Our Contemporary, the Morning Advertiser, is giving himself airs that sit very awkwardly on him. An article of ours on the Non-Intrusion que3tion has, it seems, incurred his displeasure on account of t'ie coarseness of its style. His refined tas'e revolts at the word " deceiver," " religious moun tebanks" he cannot stomach," " hypocrite" is an abomination unto him, and Non-Intrusion " hum bug" absolutely throws him into fits. If we had applied all or any of these epithets to him perso nally, he could not have exhibited more irritability, or vented more indignation against us. Our " un eharaableness" is almost without precedent, and we are described as " lost to all sense of right feeling," as well as to the " courtesies which are usually ob served in controversy as well as in society." His testiness, too, as we shall show, is fully equalled by his absurdity. We hesitate not to acknowledge that we seldom waste much time in hunting after and balancing words. When we find a word that expresses what we mean to say, we use it without much caring whether it has received the stamp oft classical au thority from the Morning Advertiser or not. We call a spade, a spade. When we see men practis ing deception, we call them deceivers ; when we find them pretending to be whnt they are nor, and craftily pursuing one object under die colour of another particularly an inte rested object under colour of a disinterested one— we think ourselves fully justified iu denominaiing them hypociites ; and when, 'in the course of their proceedings, they parade themselves and their pre tenbions frequently aid offensively before the pub lic, we designate them mountebanks or humbugs. This is our usual method. We have found it an swer. and whether offensive or not to our Concern porary, we mean to cvntioue it He is at liberty to use language better adapted to his more delicate or ,iitization, but until he is fornially installed in the Lace of Master of the Ceremonies to the newspaper press, we must protest against his dicating to us w hat expressions we are to use and what avoid, as a piece of very unbecoming assumption, not to say impertineece. We would at the same time remind our Con temporary of what lie seems to be totally utic,in • scious—the propriety of making his piac i tice harmonize with his theory—his example with his precept, before he• seats himself in the chair of the monitor, and lectures us on " charity." To say that we are ," lost to all sense of right feeling"—a queerish sort of phrase, by the bye—and "of the courtesies of society," sounds somewhat discourteous to our ears, from the arbiter elegantiarum ; nor "does a charge of " uncharitableness" come with "an exceeding good grace from one who, in the same breath, raises a cry of infidelity against a Northern Journalist be cause lie happens to differ from him on the Non- Intrusion question. How could our Contemporary, hitherto the advocate of religious freedom, so far com mit himself, so far forget his prineiples, as to attempt to fan the flames of bigotry,. l r ly publicly fixing so odious a brand upon the character of any journal, or any man ? Could he be ignorant that a charge of this description, even insinuated, could not fail to raise a prejudice in the public mind injurious to the interests of the inculpated party ? There is the essence of persecution in such a charge. There lurks in it the germ of that spirit which consigns JOHN THOROGOOD to a perpetual dun geon in our times, and in former days would have lighted the fires of Smithfield. If this be our Contemporary's " charity,7-may . it end where it , began—at home. 11 tb# he his " right feeling,' long may. it be his alone we, at all events, covet none of it. The little that fell from M. TRIERS in the Chamber of P. era on Friday last, relative to the occupation of Cracow by Austrian troops, is very itnporiant, iu passing ia review the foreign policy of the British Government. The French Presi dent of the Council admitted that the independence of Cracow violated by the three protecting Powers, had for the last two years occupied the serious attention of the French and English Cabinets, and that the violation of the independence of the Republic had been protested against, which was all that could be done without taking measures dangerous to the peace of Europe. M. TIIIERS might have added that the violation of Cracovian independence and use prostation of Poland, were natural, and to some extent, inevitable conseqeenees of that egregious piece of diplomatic humbug and delusion—the treaty of Vienna. To entrust the Czar of Mus covr with the Crown of Poland, and not feel assured that he would encircle the necks of her people with the iron yoke of slavery, was akin to the lolly of entrusting a fox with the guardianship of a hen-roost. And as to appointing Russia, Austria, and Prussia Protectors of the independence of Cracow, it was but inviting these Powers to imitate the policy of a former period, and quietly settle among themselves the terms of a new partition. To expect that any of the great Northern Powers could have believed France and England to be serious with respect to the mainte nance of Polish nationality, or Cracovian inde pendence, after assenting to the conditions of that treaty, would be preposterous. Nor, in fact, were they so in reality, when the treaty was agreed upon. Neither TALLEYRAND nor CASTLE• REAGH cared a jot more about the liberties of Poland and Cracow, than did METTERNICII and NESSELRODE. But it was necessary to keep up some show of favouring the cause of liberty on the Continent, and, therefore, the articles, of whose violation France and England now complain, were ostentatiously paraded in the treaty of 1815. The Liberals of England and France, and the un happy Poles and Cracovians, alone failed to see through this delusion ; and therefore it was that the destruction of the nationality of Poland created little or no surprise, and gave rise to no alarm among continental states, with the bare exception of revolutionary France. Had the Congress of Vienna really intended to establish the independent nationality Of Poland, is there 'any person so simple as to suppose that the kingdom would have been placed un der the protection of Russia ? We grant that Poland was in the power of the CZAR ; but when Great Britain was stripping herself of her vast con quests in every part of the world—when the osten sible object of all European nations in assembling such a Congress was to restore the balance of power, so as to establish the peace of the world on a per manent basis—it was surely not too much to exact one sacrifice from the AUTOCRAT. That was the time to drive the Northern Bear back to his native fastnesses. The disconnection of Poland and Russia was demanded by the very object which the Congress professed to have in view—namely, the peace of Europe and of the world ; for we defy the rankest partisan of Russia to deny that the power of Russia was not then a serious object of alarm to the Porte, and privately even to the Cabinets of Vienna and Berlin—although for obvious reasons the two latter Governments dreaded nothing so much as the independence of Poland. When Poland was annexed by a Congress to the empire of Russia, by a tie which, in fact, was tantamount to an unconditional surrender, though not quite so in words, Russia was menacing the Porte, not only with a rebellion in Greece, but throughout all the p r o vince s of Turke y in Europe ; while her huge arms , stretched across the Caspian, alreadyNo rw threatenedasthe aggressive the gssie policy of that. faithless securityßritain in 11ia f d a i i p t i l o il i e n s a s ti P st o s the Poland British to andthe ttender French nder z ou A nink n an , d7 a . n no d yleo i r nv it e d Austria, Russia, mercies of the wer C h and Prussia, not by word but by deed, to divide THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, JULY - 14 . 1840. among them the poor, defenc e l ess , R e p u blic of Cracow. To protest, then, against the occupation of Cra cow, and against the unmerited do. nfal of Poland, is really all that M. TRIERS and Lord PALMER.. STON can do,. without adopting measures likely to produce a. war with Russia. The fault of the oc cupation, however much it is to be deplored, is not theirs. It is a consequence of the Tory and Bourbon Treaty of Vienna. We likewise agree with M. THIERS that objurgation detracts from the dignity of a great nation, and that when it is re• solved only to employ words it is the better course, after protesting against the violence, to remain silent. But, surely, in such a cause, something more is demanded by justice—by a regard for the liberties of Europe —by national interest, to look to no high e r motive, from the liberal Governments of France and England ? Strong as the Treaty of Vienna has made the hands of Russia, the Governments of Franc e and England are powerful enough yet to compel the fuifilment of its articles to the very letter by the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh. But why, now that Russia, Prussia, and Austria have openly violated the treaty of Vienna, not join in discardin g altogether such of its provisions as place the liberties of the Craco vians under their baneful protection ? Why not evoke once more the mighty spirit of vet slumber ing Poland, and erect an impassible barrier bAwc en Russia and Western Europe ? This i s not so difficult of accomplishment as may at first appear. England and France have but to countenance a rising in Poland to the extent they did the cause of freedom in Portugal, Belgium, and Spain, and the power of Russia in that kingdo m will disappear like the whiteness of a flake of snow dropped into a mountain torrent. Prmsia and Austria would not dare openly to interfere for their own sakes ; and were the Poles triumphant they would readily unite with France and England in the establishment of an independent, hereditary, constitutional throne in Poland. We repeat our conviction, that while the Tories and the Bourbons are responsible for the downfal of Poland and of C►acow, the liberation of both may yet 'be accomplished without an European war. Russsia would certainly not make war on England and France for recognising the right of a people to insist upon that independence for which they themselves are joint guarantees ; and were the Emperor mad enough to rush into such a contest, he would find no ally in the monarchs of Prussia or Austria, who would find plenty to do to prevent the flames of insurrectieu fro:n spreading among their own subjects. We are obliged to Sir STRATFO':.D CANNING, and we think so ought the Government, for bringing the question of the violation of the independence of Cracow so opportun, ly before the House of Commons. Tbongh no resolutio n has been proposed, no particular official course recommended by the Right Flon. Baronet, or the Right Hon., tly! Member fur Talnworth, and :although the Noble Foreign Secretary declined to state the exact line of conduct which the Government pro posed to pursue upon this question, it is nevertheless of the utmost importance that the joint condemnation of the occupation of Cracow on the part of the three Powt rs by the Governments and L gidative Assenifilics of France and England, should go forth together to the woal. It will be some consolation .. to the oppressed Cracovians and Poles to know in the mitht of tacir un merited afflictions that the sympathies of the British and French Governments and people are with them—that the hour is looked forward to with anxiety evon by the Cabinets of Western Europe when a helping hand can be stretched forth to assist them in breaking their chains. We yesterday quoted the strong expressions of M. THIERS. The. language of Lord PALMERSTON IS equally explicit:— He could assure the House he took a lively interest in all that concerned the unhappy population of Cracow and Poland. It was impossible that any person standing •in that House should not feel and express great sympathy with the calamities which war had inflicted on that unfor tunate people.—( Hear, hear.) He could also assure the House that any occasion in which the Government of England —and he was sure in speaking for themselves he might speak for those who might succeed them—could, by the exercise of the influence of this country, mitigate the faie of those whose misfortunes they so deeply lamented. that opportunity would be taken advantage of ; and he could also greatest themselves dissoitfiosnuci such hasesrursit;esHtyo,:speretsheantt thereadvisers a 3 to the vail opportunity. it is impossible for a Minister not prepared t o recom a mend the entering upon immediate hostilities to expres s a stronger sympathy for an 6ppre,sed p e ople, In palliation of the guilt of the protecting powers, the Noble Lord cited the alarm created among them by the revolt of 1131giutn, the revolution of France, and the downfall of despotism in Portugal and Spain. We do net see the sound discretion of Noble Foreign Se cretary, in choosing to make himself responsible for the blunders of the UASTLEREAGHS, the VANSITTARTS, the BATHUP.STS, the AIELVILLES, anti the ELDONS who were officially parties to, and responsible for the Treaty of Vienna. By that Treaty Cracow was declared tree, but where was the seimrity for the maintenance of its freedom? IVnat prevented Lord PALMERSTON from telling Sir STRATFORD CANNING and the House of Commons that to the stupid incapacity of Lord CAS TLERLAGH was to he attributed the annihilation of Poland as an independent kingdom, and the occupation by Russia and Austria of the Republic of Cracow ? When Lord CASTLEREAGH ) as a climax to the ridicu lousness of his diplomatic pretensions, consented to make over Finland and the Grand Duchy of Warsaw to Russia ; to establish the power of Austiia in Italy - mid to give halt of S.xony to Prussia, was it not mad e obvious to the whole world that Cracow could not exist an independent state under the guardianship of 'the powers profiting by such unjust partitions ? By an nexing the Grand Duchy of Warsaw to R'tasia the Congress established the paramount it.fluence of the CZAR in the very heart of Germany, arid completely destroyed the balance essential to the future repose of the world. From that instant Cracow existed more by zufferance than by any right which a mere parchment treaty could secure to her. By the scheme of partition so extensively acted upo n b y the Alli d Sovereigns, and re:.ognized by the only powe r t h at pro fi te d not hi ng by her conquests, that is to say G reat B r i ta i n, t h e prin ciple ol'another partition whenever desirable was in fact declared to be a fundamental part of the public law of Europe. As to the inclinations of the people they were no more consulted than those of a herd of builocks fattened fur the slaughter-house. They were parcelled out by the million, and transferred from the elle iance of one Sovereign to another, with the most lofty con tempt for their opinions upon the subject of such trans fer. They we re in the eyes of Kings what fatted calves are in the estimation .of farmers and butchers—nothing more. We shall not here dwell upon the commercial inte rests sacrificed by the violation of the independence of Cracow, because .ve maintain that such an event ought to occasion no surprise in any quarter. The real won der would have been, in our opinion, to witness Cracow free, although placed in the jaws of the triple headed monster that had previously devoured Poland. .To early the irritation in the public mind of England and France we think it not only possible, ..u., t very probable, that the Austrian garrison will be withdrawn from Cracow—that England will be invited to send a political and commercial agent to reside there —and that the three Powers will issue a joint mani festo, setting forth that the disturbances in Cracow being at an end, and being always actuated by the most sincere regard for maintaining the faith of Treaties, their Imperial and Royal MAJESTIES, protectors of the independence of th e Republic, have voluntarily resigned the functions which, in order to maintain the general and yet not peace, they felt bound in the spirit of the Treaty of v b , e e ry fr s e h e o w rt it t h im ou e : Vienna temporarily to assume.

The answer of the mister was, that the Cabinet was considering the Order in question, for the purpose of taking measures to avert Cx cons?quenccs of it. France, we know, is not so directly interested in this affair as Portugal and the United States ; but there is an interest which predominates above all others ; it is that of justice and cf respect to international rights. We therefore willingly believe that our Cabinet, notwithstanding its pre dilection for England, pereei% es all that the Ord-_r in Council, of the month of April, contains, ar,d that it will unite its remonstrances with those of other commercial nations, against the repetition of violations by Grost Bri tainof the rights of nations. There are many reports respecting the appointment 'f Admiral Mackau, in the room of Admiral Bau - il. We refrain from repealing them. We will reimrk, however, that Admiral Mackau is not, like Admiral Baudin, ap pointed " Commander-in-Chief of the French naval force employe.d in seas of South America," but rcer,ly " Commander of the naval division charged with the blockade of the ricer Mite." M. Thic:s dezlared ;n the Chamber last month that Almi..al Bau , i a was going to Buenos Ayres to terminate the" sffiir by a treaty, it pos sible, by war if it were necessary. Does this change in the title given to Admiral Mackau indicate other intentions ? —Le Commerce.

The receipts of the Blackwall Railway fur the week ending on the 12th inst., are stated at 655/. There are only half-hour trains at present in consequence of one line only being open. The number of passengers carried was nearly 50,000, and crowds unable to find places. No goods are carried yet.

THE NEW CONSERVATORY AT CHATS WORTH.-By the summer of 181,0 (says the author of " Sketches in Derbyshire"), this will prove anot er attraction. It is on an immense scale; extending over an acre of ground ; and when replete with choice exotics—some of Nature's rarest gilts —cannot fail to become a novelty of general interest, and to have many claims on the attention of our mo re l earne d horticulturists. Some idea of its magnitude may be formed on knowing that the centre arch of the roof is seventy-six feet high, with a span of seventy feet ! affording ample room for the stupendous growth of the American aloe (Agave Ameri cana), or indeed the loftiest greenhouse plant ever fostered in these islands. AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH.—On Monday morning, as Mr. Richard Smith, of Havering Park, was as sisting his men in dressing his cattle, when in the act of casting a rope over the head of one of the beasts, he dropped down, and immediately expired. Mr. S. h:d suffered for some years fro:n an affection of the heart, which it is supposed caused his death. The following circumstance recorded in the Paris I papers is not unworthy of observati m, as an additional evidence of the faculty which some of us have of using our cunning, even when we have lost our consciousness : —A man, very respectable in his stati on as a wor ki ng j eweller, lived with' an only child, a daughter, in quiet and comfort, putting aside all his earnings be yond that which was applied to household expenses in order to supply her dot when she would be married to a man in her own station ; but for some months he had observed hat he was robbed, that articles entrusted to him to slier, that gold given to him for the purpose of ttanufacturing into jewellery, vanished be tween the night ai.d morning. The poor man bore th sfor some months ; but after having disbursed all that which he had laid aside for his daughter's portion, in replacing articles of which he became convinced that dear amt only child had robbed him, he steeled his heart against all her protestations of innocence, 1 and drove her from his presence with an almost broken heart ; on the fo;lowing clay, however, he again missed an object of value, which she could not have purloined, banished as she was. The second night he broke a wine glass on the table of his bed-room, at.d having gathered the larger fragments and got rid of them, retired to bed. Towards day-break he , woke up, tormented by a pain in his foot, when he found that he had in it a-piece of broken g7a,,s. This proved that he must have been standing upon the tables, and he then re mounted it, and was convinc..d that he was himself a sleep- walker, and that he had judged his child unjustly, as he found hid behind a cornice in the roof, immediately above the table, all the jewels and trinkets which he had lost. It is need less to with- what of ectiou lie again sought his child, ur with what tenderneiis he restored her to that place in his bosons which she had never forfeited.

THE NEW MASTER IN CHANCERY.—The mastership in Chancery, vacant by the displacing Lord Henley under the recently passt'd act of Parliament, has been presented to John Romillv, Esq. the son of the late lamented Sir S. Rom illy. A most extraordinary case is related by the Memorial des Pyrenees to have recently taken place at 1-term, near Dax, in the Landes:—Laforgue, the domestic of two widows, named Lactate, endeavoured, by hi s amorous atten tions, to console one of them, who had only a short time ego I est her husband. This not being agrecabl2 to the other widow, he vas dismissed from the house. Two men, tale a muleteer, the other a herdsman, were taken to supply his place. Lafor- . faue's passion survived his dismissal. He courted the favour of the mufeteer, and was, after a while, admitted into the house of with a promise of a good supper. The fire Was lighted, and other preparations went on till the hearth was in a blaze, when the muleteer, suddenly seizing Laforgue, exclaimed, ‘• We will soon cure you of j our love fit ;" and, having beat him severely, placed aim on the fire, and th , ro held him, as sisted by the herdsman, until his clothes n ere burnt to cinders, and he himself completely roa,ted, his tormentors k;cking sod wriking him with fire irons whenever his tortures forced him to cry out. During this process the two widows came into the kitchen, and saw what was going on. The object of the vic tim's passion immediately retired again without saying a word, but the other exclaimed, " Beat him well, he has brought dis honour upon the family." At length the two principal actors in this brutal indiction g ot wearied, and retired to bed, leaving poor Laforgue lying helpless on the floor till the morning, where they still found him on their coming down ag a i n . Th e implac a bl e mu l eteer t h en i nformed him that if lie did not take himself off he should suffer more. The poor wretch was unable to walk, but had sufficient strength to drag himself along the ground to an adjoining field, where he was found by a charita ble person, who carried him home, and by care and attention, saved him from impending death. Information was laid before the Magistrates, and the brutal participators in this diabolical act have been arrested. OTTER HUNT.—A week or two since sonic young sportsmen, belonging to Keswick, were fortunate enough to fall in with an otter drag at Briary Hill, near that town. They soon mustered a gallant pack, censi,ting of six otter hounds and two terriers, all of the right sort; and after many a manceuvre to escape his pursue's on the banks of the Greta, and also in that river, the enemy of the finny tribe, being hard pressed, fled to Threlkeld River, as far as Se•mabanning ; but his pursuers never all ,wed him a moment's rest. Here again he turned back, and tried St. John's River, up which he pro ceeded as far as Leathswater, fully seven miles from where he was first started. The exhausted animal was here compelled to face his four-footed foes—to turn on them, and either to fiAt or die. The otter did both, for though he did die, he fought with great bravery to the very last. The animal proved to he a fine dog otter, and weighed about twenty pounds._ Carlisle Patriot. t‘ Two days ago," says the Audience (French Paper), " a country girl, who had spent all her money at a lottery of handkerchiefs, collars, and other articles, on a public promenade at Versalles, offered her umbrella to the keeper of th, stall, as security for some more tickets. The man refused to comply w - ith he: reg.test, but told her that, if she would allow him to cut off her hair, he would give her in exchange for it twenty tickets. The poor girl, in the hope of redeem ing her fortune, consented, and in a minute the scissors of the despoiler had deprived her of this ornament of her sex. The girl played on until nineteen of her tickets came up blanks The twentieth was a prize. On opening the paper, the let tery-keeper read it aloud to the pe rsons w h o were cross ding around him, and w h o were convulsed with laughter —it was a comb." A most beautiful and magnificent male Bird, of the Ostrich tribe, the Emeu, or South Au9tralian Ostrich, died lately at Hawkstone Park, the residence of Sir Rowland Hill, Bart. Its total length is about seven feet; its anatomical struc' ure is very singular; it has a very curious and large back bone, to which ago attached the enormous muscles of the legs; the thigh is as large as a leg of mutton, and the bones as strong as those of a man ; the breast-bone is very small, only sufficient to cover the heart, and about the size of that of a goose ; it bas neither keel bone or muscles for the wings, which are very short, and quite hidden in the plumage. The wings are furnished at the end with a sharp claw ; they can be of little or no use in assisting the bird's progress. When alive, this bird makes a very peculiar sound that may be heard at a consid era bl e di s _ tance, much resembli ng th at pro d uce d by striking an empty cask with some soft substance ; .foe the production of which, nature has provided it with a most curiously constructed wind pipe ; it is slit in the front fur about four inches, and over which is attached a bladder-like membrane; in this bag the sound is produced. The bird is covered with a thick coat of feathers, two of which grow from each stem ; it is now mounted in a very superior mariner by Mr. Shaw, of Shoplatch, in this toe n, and is well worth the inspection of the curious —Shrewsbury Chronicle. KEEPING ENTFRTAINMENT.—iIecentIy a gentleman, while tra ve lli ng th roug h t h e Creek nation, in Ala bama, met an Indian, of whom he insired how fa r it was to the next. house. " Ab o ut t wo miles," answered the Creek ; " hut, just beyond the house, the road forks, and the right hand will take you to a very good house, about five miles fur ther." " Thank you," said the t rave ll er, an d he pursued his journey. In half an hour the gentleman came to the first house. The writ thy host was standing at the door. " Hallo!" cried the stranger. " Hallo, }ourself!" responded the man of the house. "Do you keep entertainment here ?" " Yes, Sir." " Can my horse have some corn and fodder ?" " No, Sir, I ha'n't got any."

In ohje ctio, pertoitting the truth to be given in ev idenee, It /I alluged uli.t it wculd drive prosecutors from the courts, and tender the proceeding - by indictment. a dead lette/ as to libels of truth ; that it would ptocl aim virtue imp-unity for the publication of everything - not take' however useless, or however defamatory. Mr. CrCe s :i 11(11, indeed, proposeA that any proceed ing tow WOO!: libel, to which alone the objeeolon can apply (for ,1` is obvious that with respect to public libels the pub lic have a riOit to know the wito!c truth, and to ba le every fair argument and inference cleduced from it); shall be prosecuted only by the person Aggrieved ; to. he must either allege or prove the falsehood, or pro f ' cypress malice, unless the libellous matter shall tappe t° to the jury, from its own nature, or under the circtter stances of the case, The Will of O'Connell also remedies many other admitted defec. in the present law, out of which the preserrt confu sitw hi e s grown. It requires that in all indictments for P er. soual libel, the prosecutor shall give the pultlisher ud tice to retract and contradict the that: -,,t if before indictment found the , us matter, 5 5 iblishcr a b be fairly and unequivocally publise a retra:t.'i°n i n fi b, same mode in which the libel was publishe.io the P, - be Esher shall be acquitted ; and that if he shall g.`Ve PP s ; name and residence of the author, the indictment him shall cease. Such is the principal feature 'Ws O'Connell's Bill. This provisiac of Mr.. O'Con ° e bb , Bill would virtually place thm law of England upon ! same footing, with respect to libels, as .ti e of New Yoi:k, from which no evil Las been ex p e rence ? If a person, libelled by the publicetion of truth, - be e t thin skinned as to refuse to prosecute a publicati on 4 that truth, when published for no ot:ilr reason ti ll malice, it is obviously preferable that the t. escape unpunished, than that ail bona tide .nublcatio,°o of truth, by which the interests of the public would', served, should be prevented. rte case sho4o LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DA Br') ,EAL, JULY 13.—Wiud N.E.—Arrived the Ibcrioe om Cad t z.
