LONDON: TUESDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1840. In this country neither the movements nor the opinions of public men can possibly remain secrets. The policy of the Government, the armaments it prepares, the instructions it sends to its Ambassa dors, are all known or are stated in the news papers. What particular subject is at any time to be discussed at any Cabinet Council is readily in ferred from the last despatches which have come from abroad, or from the last important public event. As the subject of deliberation is thus known or conjectured, and as the opinions of Cabinet Mi nisters are known, like those of other public pen, the outline of what passes in a Cabinet Council on any disputed and important question, becomes shadowed out to the public. Hints and words will escape men in conversation, from which a whole history may be framed, and all the important pro ceedings of individual Cabinet Ministers gradually be made known without any person being responsi ble for the communication. No member of the Ca binet openly promulgates them, or vouches for them, unless he have first asked and obtained the per mission of the Sovereign ; but in most of the great changes of the Ministry in modern times, in most of the disputes among the members of the Cabinet, in most of the great alterations in our po licy, the part taken by individual Cabinet Minis ters has been freely and publicly stated in the press, and has not unfrequently been confirmed by their own authorised statements in Parliamen The part taken in the Cabinet discussions by ind vidual Ministers may therefore transpire withou any one being treacherous to his colleagues, or treasonable to his Sovereign. To the Times all these circumstances must be well known, but because the late Lord HOLLAND is reported to have been partial to the alliance with France, and rather indifferent to the fate of Turkey and is therefore known to have regarded the po licy which has led to the rupture of that alliance with apprehension, the .Times yesterday endea voured to make the public believe, in a column of insinuations and charges, that Lord HOLLAND had betrayed to M. GulzoT what passed in the English Cabinet, and betrayed it in order to make M. TRIERS adhere firmly to his own views. Such an attack on an eminent man, who is yet scarcely cold in his grave—and the loss of whom, on account of his great uprightness and his steady attachment to the public liberties and constitutional law, the nation deplores, including his political opponents-- is quite flagitious, and is worthy of the unscrupu lous, apostate, unprincipled journal which makes it. M. 'TIMERS and the whole French nation might be assured, from the nobleness of Lord HOLLAND's character, and his firm attachment to the union of free nations as opposed to the Holy Alliance, that he would support the French alliance to the utmost, and would be slow to believe in the perfidy of M. THIERS, who wilfully brought it to an end. I\T. TRIERS might be able to say that in the Cabinet Lord HOLLAND had supported the French alliance, and done justice to the French people, without Lord HOLLAND having ever vio lated official secresy, or fostered in any manner the uneasy ambition and the wretched intrigues of the late Prime Minister of Fiance. If Lord HOLLAND stood out to the last against the Treaty of July 15, the peace-loving people will honour him for it. All the consequences of that Treaty must be taken into the account, as well as the successes in Syria. If Lord HOLLAND foresaw the storm it would enable a few intriguers to raise in France, if he foresaw the bad passions it would let loose, the danger it would cause to Europe, the large armaments it would make ne cessary, the general war it may in the end provoke, his sagacity must be admired, and the nation will mourn that Lord HoLLAND had not more influ epee in the Cabinet. For our own parts, much as we admire the valour and skill of our gallant offi cers and seamen, we cordially wish that there had been no occasion to exhibit them ; and if Lord HOLLAND'S counsels could have prevented the t xhibition, the nation will regret they were not followed• The duplicity, the idle gasconades, the trickery, the intrigues of the TnIE us' Cabinet, cannot be too much blamed ; but however great a charlatan he may be, it does not follow that the Minister who adheres to the French alliance as a substantial be nefit to the would, was in error, We doubt if Lord PALMERSTON was acquainted, till the debates took place in the French Chambers, with all the projects entertained, and now avowed, by the late French Cabinet ; and if Lord HOLLAND died ignorant of them he is not to blame. Because M. TRIERS, however, is an intriguer, and because_ lie sought THE SUN, LON DON, TUESDAY, DI4'CEMPER _B. 1840. after very improper objects—because the policy of France under his Administration was erroneous and unjust—it does not therefore follow that the policy to which Lord HOLLAND was opposed is righteous, frank, and proper for England. The errors or crimes of M. THlErts supply no rule for condemning Lord HOLLAND, and no rule to justify the policy that was embraced, we must now suppose, in spite of his remonstrances. That must be defended on its own merits, and by all its consequences, including the alarm we have already suffered, and the danger which still threa tens us. We trust that all will turn out well, but we frankly confess that we should have preferred a line of policy which would not have placed in jeopardy the peace of Europe. Many months ago The Sun directed public at tention to the circumstance that the conduct of the Chartists would put an end to all real public meetings, and so actually suspend one of the most important parts of the Constitution. During the last Session of Parliament, the subject was alluded to in the House of Lords by Lord BRoUGH &M, who spoke on it with some indignation. Per haps the late meetings at Norwich, where the Chartists overcame the Anti-Slavery champions, and at Glasgow, where the emigration scheme was put down, may have tended to strengthen the con viction which the previous conduct of the working classes must have generated. Another scene of the same kind took place at Glasgow on Thursday, when a public meeting was called to address the QUEEN. Though some attempt was made to pack the meet ing, by admitting the requisitionists into the hall by the back -door, and to deter the people from attend ing, by threatening them with Bridewell if they in truded, no sooner were the front doors opened, than the Chartists,who had gathered around the entrance in great numbers, rushed in with loud shouts, and in five minutes, says the Glasgow Chronicle, the hall was crowded. The LORD PROVOST was placed in the chair, but all the subsequent proceedings were little more than noise, riot, and confusion. A Mr. JOHNSTONE moved an Address to her MAJESTY in the usual strain, and a Mr. JACK moved an amendment to it, which is thus described : In addition to the usual congratulations expressed in unobjectionable language, it congratulated her Majesty on the opportunity which such an occasion afforded her of granting a pardon to all political offenders in her Majesty's dominions, and of restoring them to their de. solate homes, and mourning families. It next alluded to the distress which existed in the country, and prayed her Majesty to institute an inquiry into the causes of this distress, which they alleged, existed in consequence of legislators being too ignorant or too corrupt, to le gislate for the nation's welfare or her Majesty's safety, and er,ded by expressing a belief that this distress would exist till the people had a full and fair representation in the Commons House of Parliament. After a considerable quantity of noise and uproar the question was put to the vote, and the LORD PROVOST declared that the original resolution was carried. To show his partiality, however, the Chartists had their numbers counted as they re- tired from the building, when they were found to be 785, and as the building will not hold more than 1,200, it is said that the majority was on their side. Be that as it may, the proceedings were altogether disorderly, and, were any question of public im portance concerned, the motion adopted would not be worth a straw. As an indication of public opinion, it would be of no value whatever. It has come then to this point, that the middle classes of the towns cannot hold public meetings, no matter what may be their object. Hole-and corner meetings, to which no persons are admitted but by tickets, given to none but partizans, they may hold, but it will be very difficult, if not impos sible, to hold open public meetings. This is the consequenee of the very decided separation which has taken place between the middle classes and the working classes, and which is more likely to increase ' than diminish. That this is eminently true of Glasgow is the opinion of the Glasgow Chronicle, which says — The proceedings in the Trades' Hall yesterday, must have convinced every dispassionate observer of the lolly of any longer attempting to hold public meetings in Glasgow, for objects of a political complexion, till a bet ter understanding shall have been effected between the middle and the wo7kir.g classes. We most decidedly condemn and lament the conduct which the Chartists have latterly been pursuing in reference to meetings called by other parties. In one or two instances they have obtruded themselves and their principles where they had no right to appear, and in others, in which no objection could be made to the introduction of their opi. nions, they have yet brought them forward in such a manner, as to weaken the sympathy and repel the co operation of many who are strongly incline d to go great lergths with them in the march of c onstitutional reform. There is no reason to hope that the Chartists will be changed by such remonstrances, while they have no other means of securing to themselves the least political importance ; and it is hardly to be expected that they will pay much respect to those political rights of which they are so sedulously de nied all share. The cure for the evil is the exten sion of the suffrage, and the division of large towns into parishes or wards for the exercise of popular 1 rights. _ The Anti-Corn-law League continues to act on the plan it some time ago announced, of visiting. the different boroughs which return Pro-Corn -law men to Parliament, and of rousing the electors to take measures to elect only Anti-Corn-law men. On yesterday week they visited Warrington, and though at first they were opposed by a Char tist, in the end their resolutions were unani mously carried. They do right to make the Pro-Corn-law Members uneasy in their seats, and when they have succeeded in half a dozen instances they will find their force in Parliament is much in creased. Already they have made great progress. The land rings with indignation against the authors of the Corn-laws, and their exertions must be crowned with success. _ _ It is a good sign we think, that Mr. Cos• DEN admitted at the Warrington meeting that the middle classes have been idle and inac tive on this subject, and we may expect from such admissions and remonstrances a more ener getic conduct, as the only means of restoring the harmony which ought to exist between them and the working classes. They possess great power in the State, and it depends on them whether jus tice be done to the people. If it be not, the de mands for the Charter will extend, the separation between the classes will widen, mutual distrust will grow into hatred, and peace will be banished from the land. Too long have the middle classes tolerated or allowed the oppression of the lower classes, in cases such as impressment, interference with their amusements, &c., which do not affect themselves. At length the temper of the people is completely embittered by such proceedings, and the worst consequences, we believe, are likely to ensue, unless the middle classes resolve on commanding that justice be done to the working classes. Such is the principle, or project of the Anti-Corn-Law League ; and if it can rouse the middle classes to a sense of their duty, it will confer an immense be nefit on the community. _ The Scotsman of Saturday, remains of opinion that the cases of Mr. HARMER and Mr. BLACK were dissimilar. Without professing to know much of the Dispatch, the Scotsman affirms that it was "charged with teaching doctrines subversive of mo rality and social order," and it maintains that this charge was " valid to exclude Mr. HARMER, if it were true." The Scotsman knows that this charge of teaching immorality and subverting social order is the mad-dog cry with which the bigots of all descrip tions assail all their opponents, and we regret to see it countenanced for a single moment by such an enlightened journal. The charge was made against the Dispatch, because it inculcated certain opinions which the priest and the Tory party dis like, and Mr. HARMER was proscribed on account of those opinions. Now, we contend against the principle of punishing opinions, be they what they may. The Scotsman advocates it, and on ac_ count of Mr. BLACK'S opinions, he was excluded from the Lord Provostship. If he, like the Scotsman, advocates that principle, he was paid in his own coin. If it be admitted, there is no opinion disliked by the bigots and the Tories which they will not consider a proper test of exclusion from office, and we, shall never feel any regret to see it applied for the discomfiture and punishment of those who maintain it. Opinion should not be punished, but refuted. TRIUMPH of the SOULT-GUIZOT CABINET. By extraordinary express from Paris, we have received the gratifying intelligence that the Minis terial Address in answer to the speech from the Throne, was carried, after post hour on Saturday evening, by a majority of 86 votes—the numbers upon the division being—. For the Address — 000000 ~. 247 Against it ....... Majority in favour of Ministers B6 The conclusion of the debate has not yet reached us,but a full report of the proceedings, up to post hour on Saturday, will be found in another part of The Sun. This long and important debate being now over, we ate in a condition calmly, but earnestly to make a few deliberate observations upon it. To the English reader, who peruses attentively and dispassionately the whole of this long debate in the Chamber of Deputies on the Address, rnore correctly in fact, though not in name, the Parlia mentary debate upon the Eastern question, nothing will appear more surprising, upon reflection, than the absence of all regard for political honesty, truth, and righteousness which characterises it. By such a reader it must be regarded as the language of an assembly, in which the avowed want of honesty in a Minister produces neither a sense of shame in him self, nor the smallest feeling of resentment in his auditors. This is the worst symptom which has yet appeared in France. When M. TRIERS avowed his intention of duping Lord PALMERSTON by false professions—when he proclaimed aloud that, with peace upon his lips, he had war in his heart—when his colleague, M. DE REMUSAT, admitted that the whole Oriental policy of France, as understood by the Great Powers in 1839, was a falsehood which contemplated with indifference the downfall of the Ottoman sway at Constantinople—when, by ex posing the avidity of France to obtain possession of the Ottoman fleet, he indirectly corroborated the well-known fact, that France had advised the be trayal of that fleet to the VICEROY nay, even when M. BERRYER, as ungenerously, as meanly, and ungratefully invoked the manes of NAPOLEON against England, who so nobly restored to France the mortal remains of the ENIPEROR—not a voice was raised in the Chamber in execration, or even in deprecation of such open and undisguised wicked ness. On the contrary, shouts of applause followed the avowal of sentiments which no member of the British Legislature would dare to utter without in curring the whole weight of the national resent ment—without the certainty of being hunted like a tiger from the precincts of public life. But in France not only political justice, but a pretension to it, is not essential to the character of even a Prime Minister. M. TRIERS gloried in his dis honesty, and was applauded by his friends ; M. DE REMUSAT avowed his participation in the delin quencies of his colleague, and was complimented on resuming his seat by M. GUIZOT ! No orator thought it worth his while to touch upon the inte rests of Turkey, the progress of civilization, or the relative duties of the European States to each other and to humanity, as reg arded the Eastern Question ; but each was content to wrangle about and bluster about the immediate interests of France. This is so well and so forcibly expressed in the Tablet of yesterday, that we have pleasure in quoting the paragraph which embodies it—less to confirm our own impression than to sa tisfy the war party in France, and the Protestant theological incendiaries in England, that the British Catholics are even more decided than ourselves in their condemnation of t he policy of the late French Ministry, and of t he l anguage of the Representa tives of France , with respect to it. Nothin g so harsh of M. THlERS—nothing so condemnatory of the essential character of French statesmanship, has appeared in the Tory Standard as the following extract from the weekly organ of the British Catholics : M. Thiers entered this debate with every chance against him. He bad for his opponent a man of high character, great ability, and much reputation for probity ; and a man, too, who had, side by side with himself, conducted the ne gotiations upon which the debate was to turn ; who had been the recipient of " upwards of a hundred of his pri ve te notes," as well as of all his public despatches ; who had, consequently, at his fingers' ends all the turns and in tricacies of the question, and was as fully acquainted with the weak points of the case as himself. He entered it after a policy of fraud, treachery and perfidy ; of blus tering, boasting, and bullying • of extravagant expendi ture and extravagant double-dealing. He entered it after having made himself the ridicule of Europe by his im mense armaments, which ended in nothing ; aid "an imposing attitude," which made the world ring again with laughter at the solemn farce.

"It is," says the other, and therefore we ought to h ave war.), he CO6C lusions ar iived at arc di▪ fferent, but th e rogue ' s log i c is the same in both. Appalling as this sketch is, we fear it will be found not so highly coloured as we would fain be lieve it. In the progress of a debate upon an Address which deplores the prostration of Poland, several speakers recommended a close alliance with Russia, with the avowed object of trampling upon Englarid—the leader of the vanguard of western civilization ! Provided they gratified the national thirst for vengeance, they professed themselves wholly indifferent as to the means. They were ready to league with the CZAR or the Devil in a project for the humiliation, perhaps the dismem berment, of E n gland. What, then, ought we to do ? Abide the result calmly and firmly, taking care to be well prepared for the worst. While Franc-o continues her armaments, it is the first duty of our oovernment not to relax a moment in its exertions to place our navy on the strongest possible footing. The spring should find us as well equipped for battle as our neigh imurs. Let what like happen we shall not suffer so much as France from the cost of naval armaments. We can always turn our ships to some profitable account, should we happily have no occasion for converting them into engines for the merciless destruction of our fellow creatures. If France, by wickedly and profligately continuing her armaments, compel us to arm in self-defence, it is of the first consequence that not a minute should be lost in effecting our preparations. For nothing now short of the discontinuance of the military preparations in France can assure us that there is no longer any danger to this country. The mere defeat of ?I. TEI lERS upon tine address cannot now satisfy us.We must have some less equivocal manifes taion of the pacific intentions of our Gallic neigh bours. Already we begin to perceive what we take to _be symptoms of new troubles brought on by French intrigues in Spain. In the professed reck lessness of French statesmen as to the means Of humbling England in every quarter where she is supposed to have any influence—at Alexandria, at Constantinople, at St. Petersburgh, at Madrid, and at Lisbon, we anticipate little regard for principles however liberal, or for institutions however popula - r. The very same Republican faction now ready to league with Russia—to forego all resentments on the scare of the atrocious denationalization of Po land, would to-morrow, merely to humble England, • march across the Pyrennees and re-elevate the sceptre of Carlist despotism in Spain. We can no longer, therefore, trust such men. We can no longer rely upon the wis dom and virtue of a Representative Assembly which hears without censuring their flagitious opi nions and sentiments. Hitherto France has ma naged to keep all eyes upon the Treaty of July— all ears employed in listening to her complaints of the insult offered—all tongues busy in deprecating the violence of her wrath, and in expressing sym pathy for the burning intensity of her wounded feelings ; but the guilty revelations made by M. THIERS and his colleagues in the Chamber of Deputies, have found other employment for the eyes, ears, tongues, and minds of Europe. We have discovered that our oft-repeated sympathy for the mortified feelings of M. THIERS in particular does more credit to the warmth of British hearts than the soundness and depth of British penetra tion ant? judgment. It is with deep regret we learn, that, at the instance of her Majesty's Attorney-General, Mr. Hetherington is this day to be tried in the Court of Queen's Bench for publishing a work of anti-religious character. Such prosecutions were formerly in vogue, and the chief ef fect of them was to multiply irreligious books, and books written in the worst taste. In the present case the Attorney-General does not follow, we are sure, his own good sense—he acts in obedience to a resolution of the House of Lords, promoted by the Bishop of Exeter. He cannot, we hope and believe, do aberwise ; but we regret to see the Ministers sanction, by ever so small a compliance, the prosecuting, persecuting bigotry of the priesthood. In this body, at the present time, there are great dissensions. One party accuses the other of idolatry, Popery, blasphemy, and hints at perjury. We are not sure that the most prominent of the persecutors of other men for opinions has not deserted the Protestant faith— though he clings to the temporalities of the Protestant Church, and has not gone over to the Puseyite Popery of the day. For the priesthood to institute or provoke prosecutions for difference of opinion seems very impoli tic, for it points out to other men the course to be hereafter adopted towards themselves. It is somewhat disgraceful, too, for the law, that it should be made the instrument for subserving the malice of these quarrel some, ambitious men, and we hope in their interest that the time is not far off when persecution for any kind of opinion shall cease. Mr. Hetherington is, however, only a bookseller, not an author, and it as little rational to punish him for his presumed offence, as to punish an ar• suourer for selling a murderer a pistol.

MORNING EDITION. ADEL HI THEATRE. After The Tower of London and The Old Curi osity Shop, the attraction of which continues un diminished, a burlesque mock heroic drama, in one act, entitled The Teetotalers, was produced at this theatre last evening, the success of which was, to say the best, very equivocal. It was advertised to conclude with the grand attack of horse and foot from the quadrupeds; and with the grand attack on the stage, there com menced a grand attack from the gallery and pit, of hootings, hissings, and other similar sounds most un welcome to an actor's ear. Yates came forward, and said he presumed the audience could not have read the bills, inasmuch as it was there announced that the piece would conclude with the grand attack from the Quadrupeds, " You have laughed at some hun dreds of times," :aid he, " and am I to consider that it is now become too ridiculous to be laughed at 1' We will, if you please, finish with it to-night, and to-morrow night we will try it again.," Here the uproar increased to such an extent that we could not catch the conclusion of Yates's aildress. When the. curtain fell he again came forward, and after appealing to the reco:lections of John Reeve, begged the audience to give Mr. Paul Bedford a chance, which th e y h a d certa i n ly no t g iven that evening. Ellis had the effect of restoring good-humour. and Paul Bedford was called for and loudly cheered. The piece, however, will not have a long run, although it is strongly cast, and the actors did all that actors could do for it. It is even more innocent of plot than the generality of burlesq ues , an d a l t h oug h some i of the hits n it arc excellent, such, for it stance, as Muggins (Hall) offering a pint of whiskey to Bacchus (P. Bedford), and begging him to excuse his pot-house manners for bringing it in a black bottle, yet they are far between, and the piece, to be successful, must undergo great alteration. Nightingale's imitation of Macready was the best thing in it. The stare, the strut, the voice, and the standing attitude, were pre cisely those of Claude Melnoth, after his transforma tion into a gentleman. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S-YESTERDAY The betting yesterday afternoon widened the space be ta ixt first and second choice for the Derby, 3,100 to 200, and 1,500 to 100 having been taken about the Rosalie colt, Soult, or Coronation, who ran a kind of dead heat for second.

MURDEROUS b HOOTING ON THE HISCHLEY ROAD —Atrocious attempts to deprive two respecta b le graziers of life, have recently been made on the road be _ t w ecn this town and Hinckley. On Saturday evening week, as Mr. Oldacrcs , of Kirkby Mallory, was returnng home, he was tired at while going between Braunst ono Spinneys, but, fortunately, the shot did not take effect. On Monday evening, while Mr. Burden, who lives at a lodge near the half-way house, was returning from Hinckley market, he passed a man on the road in the valley this side of Earl Shilton, who, after saying "good night," discharged a pistol at him, the shot of which en tered his left shoulder. Finding himself wounded, Mr. B. turned his head, and observing his assailant standing still and looking at him, exclaimed, " You scoundrel," and then rode off for his own residence, where Mr. Spencer was speedily in attendance, and extracted the bail. It was found lodged in front of his left shoulder, and the bone was also fractured. The villain, in keeping his ground after firing at Mr. B. was evidently desirous of ascertain ing what effect his shot had taken, before he attempted to rob him. Mr. Burdett being a stout, high-spirited man, he would, however, have had little chance of escaping from him, had ho not been wounded.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, MONDAY EVENING. It is satisractory to mention tl c entire extrication of Messrs. Johi,ston and Co. from their recent difficulties, another dividend of 10 in the pound, making in all 203., having been announced as payable in the course of a few days. The arrangements concerning Messrs. Wright's banking-house are also believed to be making some progress. Consols closed this afternoon at 89 for the Opening, ex. div. ; Exchequer Bills at 3s. premium ; India Bonds at 14s. premium; Bank Stock at 156} to 156, and Reduced Three per Cents. at 88i. The accounts from the Peninsula, received to-day, were not of a nature to encourage speculation, the ad dress of the Queen of Portugal being a mere matter of course affair, which the bondholders have long been ac customed to. The Active Spanish Stock ranged from 238 to 241, and the Passive from 51 to 58; Portuguese New Five per Cents. from 348 to 341 for account, and the Three per Cents. from 22 to 221. The ad vices from Madrid continue unsatisfactory as respects both the want of harmony among the members of the Regency, and, what is even worse, the want of cash. Colombian Old Bonds were at 24,1, Mexican at 29f 1 to 30, Peruvian at 16, and Brazilian at 71, all except Mexican being dull at those quotations.
