Sti mulated, apparently, by this unexpected popularity, and willing, according to the proverb, to make hay while the sun shines, Mr. Alison appears to have cast about for another work which his present great name might sell ; and, finding amongst his papers, a " draft of a work on the Principles of Population, composed in the years of 1809 and 1810, when the author had just terminated his philosophical studies at the University," he hashed it up with long dissertations about the Voluntary and State Church principles—about the reciprocity system—about the Corn-laws, and about managing and providing for the poor--with speeches about colonization, copious extracts from Gibbon and Make Brun, and school-boy dissertations on history; and, diluting the mass with a verbose and tilted style, till the original draft, which seems to have been a very small dissertation, had swelled into two thick octavo volumes, lie has published it rather as a supplement to, than a separate work from, the History of Europe during the French B.evolution." A more palpable attempt to make a book sell, which is a great bundle of contradic tions and irrelevant dissertations, by the help of a great name and a pompous title, it has rarely been our lot to witness. Mr. Alison's great objects, in his puny disserta tion, miscalled " Principles of Population," appear to have been first to establish a different ratio be tween the increase of human oeings and of human subsistence, from that laid down by Mr. Malthus ; next, to show that as the world becomes peopled, checks to populousness arise from the nature of things, from reason and prudential motives ; and, finally, to prove that the misery of mankind, in other communities than our own, and particularly in past times, was and is caused by misgovern roent—a principle which the author puts mainly into abeyance, when he treats of that Government of which he is a subordinate, but, we believe, an ac tive and bustling member. When a gentleman of high character and high station writes a book, we expect that the contents shall correspond with the title ; but any person the least acquainted with the subject will see, by running over the titles of Mr. Alison's chapters, as well as by adverting to the objects he has in view, that the title and contents of his book do by no means correspond. We object to it, first, that, like Mr. Malthus's book—which he, by the bye, even after it had reached a third edition, continued modestly to en tile an " Essay on the Principles of Population"— it is confined to one aspect of the subject, and leaves another wholly unnoticed. Taking a cursory but comprehensive view of the history of man, it is apparent that in every age the progress of civilization, the increase of knowledge, the growth of skill, the advancement of the arts, and the increase of population have gone hand in hand. There is no insiance of a people increasing in knowledge and civilization, and decaying in numbers. Every where, however, we find instances, "from ancient Egypt to ancient Rome, from ancient Rome to Italy of the middle ages, from Italy to Kentucky, of vast improvements in the fine and the useful arts, coincident with an increasing population. Those who have looked at the matter in some de tail see that an increasing population necessarily carries with it an ever-extending division of labour, the influence of which, pervading all the sciences as well as the manual arts, causes a perpetual in crease, in an accelerating ratio, of knowledge and skill. It applies to the means of subsistence as well as the embellishments of life ; so that while England or the United States may t ow contain 20 times, or even 100 times, as many people as they contained at the commencement of their known his tory, the great multitude is much better provided with the means of subsistence, and at a less cost of labour, man for man, than when the wild and scat tered inhabitants had to struggle with the wilder beasts of the forest for a precarious and wretched subsistence. It cannot be denied that the increase of popula tion has always been coincident with social improve ment. Population may hence be described as the name of the material or physical fact, of which the term society expresses the mental fact. They are body and soul. The principles of population, under this aspect, are the principles of society, and as no change takes place in the mind without some corresponding physical change, so there is no social phenomenon which is not connected with an in crease or decrease of population. Now, Mr. Malthus, and, following his lead, Mr. Alison, have overlooked and have not explained any of the bene ficial consequences of an increase of population. They seem to imagine that the progress of man kind in improvement is an accidental circumstance, and never attribute it to that increase of population which they dwell on as the source of all social diffi culties. A work worthy of the name of the " Prin ciples of Population" should trace, at least in out line, all the phenomena to which population gives rise ; but these authors confine themselves merely to its effects in creating a co-extensive demand for food, without not'cing that it carries with it—for labour is the source of all food—a corresponding means of supply. We must, therefore, stigmatise Mr. Alison's book as being a very short-coming as well as a contradictory performance, and to be about as unworthy of the name of " Principles of Population " as a book would he of the name of " Principles of Navigation " which took into con sideration only the resistance of the waves:, and wholly omitted the propelling powers by which man is enabled to overcome it. So much for Mr. Alison's great deficiencies—we pass to his contradictions. These are more numerous, and will occupy more time. We trust we may be excused if we at present drop the subject, to re sume it to•morrow or on some following day. If the Times, day after day, for a month, may occupy a column, or a column and a half, with a criticism on Lord Brougham's Demosthenes, which f, s o f the smallest possible comparative importance, we may be excused for occupying a column for two or three days, in pointing out Mr. .t 'l errors on a subject • which is of vital ir,,portarce to the good government and happi:,e ss of society. We shall now stop, therefore, and resume the notice of Mr. Alison's work at our leisure. LITERATURE. Jugt ieady, in 2 vols.

The men-of-war which France is preparing, and the men-of-war which England has ready or is building, will be of little use without men. While so much is, said, therefore, in d►fferent Journals, to the propriety of having our ships in an efficient condition, let us remind the public of the difficulty which has generally prevailed of obtaining seamen. We believe that it is now very considerable, and is iikely to be greater than ever, should a war arise on a question of such remote interest as the indepen dence of Turkey, and should the old, and vile, and truly Conservative method of manning the fleet by impressment be again had recourse to. It a perfectly free and voluntary enlistment be esta blished, if better wages and more honourable treat ment be given, our fleet will r)t want fbr seamen. Should a war arise, in which the United States were not concerned, and, should proper wages and proper treatment be guaranteed to the seamen, we have no doubt that many would flock to our ships from American vessels. But they will not come if impressment be used, and if wages be kept at their present rate. With our prodigi ously numerous maritime population—for the number of persons able to serve on baard men-of-war is not to be told by the number of persons actually em ployed in sea-going ,hips, but includes a multitude of men working boats on the river—we can man in a shorter time a larger fleet than all the rest of Europe put together ; but to obtain that end, so desirable, should our country be threatened with war, it is indispensable that justice be done the seamen—that the service be made voluntary—that the highest places be opened to merit, not exclusively bestowed on the aristocracy, and that the ships be not made eternal prisons. Let these just and therefore wise measures be adopted, and our country may laugh to scorn the threats of any and every enemy ; ►et them be neglected or despised, relying on the old Conservative practice of impressment, and the country may tremble at the threat of every foe. We are not only, as the Times said a day or two ago, a divided people, but in our divisions we are amazingly unjust, or we should never have tole rated, much less applauded, the shameful treatment which our brave seamen have received. We are glad to see that the Dissenters are be g rfrrilig to rouse themselves from their slumbers on the Church-rate question. Their late inactivity has had the usual effect of rendering the Church more insolent and overbearing in its deportment to wards them. At Rochdale a fierce conflict has just terminated, which, according to some accounts, gives the victory to the opponents of the tax on conscience, according to others to its supporters. We consider the n.ere matter of numercial triumph as of small import.ance compared with that of the stout battle which has been fought for reli gious independence against the mind-enslaving principles -, - ,i an earth-sprung, State-supported cor rupti.r.in of Christianity. When five thousand or 'dtx thousand persons, in one parish, are found enrolling themselves as determined enemies to the infamous system of extortion, by which the Church supports itself at the exr , ense of those who not only derive no benefit from it, but who look upon i, as " destroyir.g more souls than it saves," we make no account whatever of the particular and immediate result of such hostility. It may, or it may riot, be successful in defeating a Church-rate in a given locality, but it tells with fatal effect against the system. It strikas a deadly blow at the thing called " Church"—a blow which will be felt after Church-rates shall have been abolished, in the alienated affections of the people, and in their ihs enthralment from that irrational prestige with which so many regard as sacred whatever has been long established. Among the six thousand opponents of Church rates in Rochdale, it is possible there may be a good many not on other accounts hostile to the Church. Will their defeat—supposing them to have been defeated on this occasion—cement more closely their attachment to the Establishment ? We trow not. If we read human nature aright, every such defeat is an incalculable loss both of character and strength to the Church of England. Our advice, therefore, to all who view State Establi:hments of religion as we do, that is, as contrary to the letter and spirit of the New Testament, and— which is a necessary consequence—inimical to the best interests of mankind, is to oppose Church ; rates by every means in tneir power, without re , gaid to the chance of success or defeat. The good cause will be benefited either way. As to the result of the poll at Rochdale, we may observe that it appears to have been brought Lbout by the neck-or -nothing exertions of the Vicar aid his party. Thi s 'Rev. Gentleman, of whom the public have htard before now, is stated to have played a trek which gave his party a small ma jority, hut which will, at the same time, invalidate t he whole proceedings.

This being the d a y appo i nted for the obsequies of 'the late Right H on . J o h n G eorge Lambton Earl of Durham, the mov emen t of carriages and nd h wards mid-day her e was altogether of a striking rse s to been und erstoo d the ve nera bl e ' a tnot i animated order, bendi ng their way mansion of Larnbton Castle, it having that the bereaved family of deceasedthesa ark personalof nd att e Earl would appreciate the compliment of and la mented m aav:ie on the part of his friends, as attachment on so solemn an occasion. Hen ce the th at tendance was most numerous and notrespectable, s e . unlu3,.. from this town, but , as might be expected, fro del-land, South Shields, and Durham. At I I a.m. the great bell of our metropolitan Church, saint Nicholas, commenced tolling, and continued t o do so till four p.m. (a ceremony heretofore never per formed here except for departed Royalty), and the same solemn notes were poured forth from the Church of St. Mary's, Gateshead, for the same length of time,while the numerous shipping in the harbour hoisted the:r colours halt-mast high, the customary sign of mourring. Al though my reminiscence extends to half a century, I re collect no demonstration of the kind so solemn ant: im posing in its character, in this locality, as was this day exhibited in of regi , ril to the memory of the departed Earl of Durham. No doubt so marked a tr l hute o f respect w ill b e b a lm and consola'ion to his o tlieted and sorrowing family.

T.H. SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 13, 1840. of the full particulars of the trick played off' by the Tories, which has vitiated the return. The conse- • quence is, that the anti-rate party claim a victory of 15 votes. We trust that they may be enabled to substantiate their views, and convict their arro gant oppressors of mean chicane, as wed as of violent plunder. The Churchmen profess to be actuated by a re gard to religion. At Rochdale heads were broken, coats were torn, rioting prevailed ; the police were multiplied, the military were sent for ; bribery and corruption, lying, and swearing, were all prac tised, and fostered. Will they serve the cause of re ligion ? Is morality promoted by these heated con tests ? Is that union of rnen in the bonds of peace, wnich is so essential to the public welfare, strengthened by such violent party disputes about a sum which is acknowledged to be a trifle, but which the Dissenters conscientiously object to pay ? Suppose that by law the Dissenters are com manded to pay Church-rates, is it reasonable or just that they who provide for their own religious worship should also pay for the religious worship of the Churchmen ? It is not, and the Church men are wrong ; the Churchmen are unjustly the cause of all the riots and discord, which are the consequences of levying the rate, and are responsible to GoD and man for the scandal they bring on reli gion, and the injury they inflict on society. The election of the clergy was taken out of the hands o► the people at an early period of Christianity, on account of the quarrels to which the elections gave rise ; and if those quarrels were judged sufficient to deprive the people of a most valuable privilege, similar riots require that they should be imme diately relieved trom as serious a grievance. The Radicals must rejoice to see the strong con demnation pronounced by the Whig Journals on Tory policy and Tory statesmen. What is so justly decryed we must presume will not be imitated The decay of Toryism, properly read, is an instruc tive lesson for the Whigs. If it be hateful to the community, if it be placed under the national ban, to adopt it is wilfully to become outcasts from popu iarity and power. Every proof, therefore, which our Contemporaries bring forward of the decay of To3y ism, is a warning to all statesmen to shun that course of policy. What, however, is the essence of Toryism, which made it hated by the people ? Tyranny. It spurned control, it defied reason, it denied justice ; it followed, hiding its deceitful heart under the cloak of dignity, its own arrogant self-will ; it asserted the perfection of our institutions, it resisted reform, it coerced the people, and it persecuted those who demanded improvement. The law was on its side ; its actions were legal ; the Legisla ture was for a considerable period more Tory than it has latterly been Whig ; the men of property were most of them Tories. Nevertheless there circumstances did not save Toryism from re probation and decay. For the Whigs now to fall into Toryism, would be a far greater fault in them than in the Tories, for it would be to contradict their own theories, while they see them confirmed by their own success, and the failure of their opponents. They are accused, we see by the Sheffield Iris, a very respectable paper, "of now having nearly 270 persons imprisoned for political offences," " whom they have pursued with a rigour unknown during the worst days of Toryism." Let them make haste, however much they may be encouraged by the men of property, overgrown attorneys, wealth-swollen manufacturers, great brewers, and others, who in like manner urged on the Tories, yet could not save them, to alter this part of their conduct. Let them lay aside the Tory mis trust of the people and re-assume that confi dence in them and in human nature which is the basis of Whiggism. They may be only en forcing the law, but the law will not protect them from condemnation. The law is a Tory law, made for Tory purposes, founded on those ruinous anti social principles of mistrust and discord which the Whigs repudiate ; and let them be warned that en iorcing a bad law, and making other bad laws, ruined the Tories. We conclude by expressing our hope, since the very Ministerial Morning Chronicle and G'obe have both taken the opportunity of the termi nation of the Session to denounce Toryism, that the Ministers have resolved to eschew that ruinous course of policy, and will begin by releasing political of fenders, whom nothing but an excess of coercive zeal in the 'Whigs, — more Tory than was dis played by the Tories, could ever have consigned to dungeons. According to accounts received from Berlin, which will be found in another part of the Paper, under the head of " Dutch and German Mail," the Prussian Government and the Archbishop of POSEN have settled the differences which have prevailed for some time between Church and State. The Archbishop forwarded a petition to the KING, to which his MAJESTY acceded, and thereupon issued an Ordinance permitting the return of the Archbishop to his diocese. Several of the French Journals persist in regard ing France as insulted in her honour by the signing of the Quadruple Treaty without any official inti mation having been given her that such an event was decided upon by the Four Powers. In this the writers manifest an entire unacquaintance with the etiquette of diplomacy, and mislead the public mind on a question upon which it is of the utmost importance that no misconception should exist. The susceptibilities of nations are easily roused against any imputed act derogatory to their honour on the part of their allies ; and blood has often flowed which a frank and loyal explanation on the one part, and a just comprehension of official usages on the other, might have easily prevented. In the signing of conventions by several States it is not usual to give formal notice to Powers who, without being principals, might feel called upon to protest against their ratification. To do so, and yet to persist in ratifying them regardless of such pro tests, would be regarded in no other than the light of a most aggravated insult, and would be resented on the part of a great nation by an instant . declaration of war. Thus when the Quadruple Treaty between England, France, Portugal, and Spain was signed, no notification was given to Ausn ia, Russia, or Prussia, who, by protesting against its ratification, would have perilled the peace of Europe. These Powers were sufficiently acquainted with diplomatic etiquette to take no offence at the existence of such a treat) —they were merely content passively to throw obstacles in the way of its fulfilment. Trea ties are, after all, but the expression of a strong in ternational opinion, and are least offensive when not paraded in the teeth of a dissentient. With respect to the Quadruple Treaty for the settlement of the Eastern Question, everything connected with it was well known to the French Government from the moment the first draught of it was put into the hands of the plenipotentiaries. M. GUIZOT was as conversant with its contents as Lord PALMERSTON, and it was the wish of the British, Austrian, Russian, and Prussian Govern ments that he should be so. When no doubt re mained that France would not rsior the treaty, and had receded from the policy advocated by her Cabinet in January and Jtily 1839, and again in January 1840, care was taken not to give an official notice of the signing of the treaty to M. GUIZOT, inasmuch as ie Four Powers could not proceed without disregarding the protest of the French Minister, and thus offer a wanton insult to the susceptibility of the French nation. We repeat there was no concealment but such as delicacy to wards France rendered imperative. In the question at issue she could pretend to no interest not shared to an equal extent by England, Russia, and even Austria. She had herself previously given her sanction to the main conditions of the treaty, and l was only prevented from co-operating in carry ing them into effect by the accession of a statesman to the presidency of her councils who unfortunately had given pledges to MEHEMET ALI by whi c h h e has since laboured to bind the KING and the French nation. This explanation is intended to make the French Press sensible of the fact, that had the English Government adopted the course winch they have indicated as the most friendly, an insult would have been offered to Fiance, and that the Four Powers studiously avoided it on that very account. The state of isolation in which France stands was of her own seeking. The negotiations on the Treaty were all indirectly communicated to her from (lay to day, in the hope that she might be prevailed upon to unite with the o•-her Powers, who would have been delighted to b e joined-by her then-.or even now. Nothing was sought inconsistent with her honour =nothing demanded opposed to her interests—and everything consonant with a determination to re strain Russia by securing the integrity of the Otto man empire. The French Press has called for the tdctiAce of Lord PA LMEitsToN. We may, with more reason on our side, suggest the temporary retirement of M. THIERS. Not that we wish to excite a pre judice against that Statesman ; but on the Eastern question his hands are unfortunately tied up, and until that be settled we shall regard his continuance Department as an a E t u t r h op e ea h n ea c tl zi o i f nity th . e W F h o e re n ig t n he Eastern question is settled we shall be the first in this country to wel come his return to office, if such be the will of the French nation. The time has not yet arrived to speak of the wishes and the position of the KING. Per sonalty his views are widely different from those of his IVlinistel2, - He knows that however po pular a war might be onAle first breaking out of hostilities, the consequences would not be more fatal to the prosperity of any couktry than to France her self. Her limited resources, notwithstanding the boasted strength of her army and navy, are well known to the KING, as well as the inability of the great bulk of the people to sustain the weight of fresh war-taxes. Ships are rormidable things, and so are armies, especially when:composed of French men ; but without money—the real .sinews of war— they are powerless against a combination such as is represented 5y the Quadruple Treaty. What is intended to be J..set forth in this article then is :-1. That a formal notice of the determi nation of the British Government to sign the last Quadruple Treaty could not be given to France before the ratification of such treaty, without thereby insulting our ally, and that a contrary course was adopted out of respect for her. 2. That though France was not officially cognizant of the existence of the treaty, yet that in another and a more friendly form her Government was made ac quainted, through the medium of Lord PALMER STON, with its purport, and with every stage of its advancement. 3. That the Four Powers, in not communicating officially the treaty to France before ratification, were anxious to prevent the signing of a protest on her part, which would tie up her hands, before sufficient time was allowed her to examine her isolated position, and to weigh well the conse quences of withdrawing herself wholly from an al liance with Powers, who would be happy, in con cert with her, to concede to MEHEMET ALI every claim which h e co uld a d vance no t inconsis tent with the complete integrity of the Ottoman Empire. 4. That the retirement of M. THIERS from office would remove the greatest obstacle that exists to the re-union of France with the Four Powers—that Minister having pledged himself, to an extent not binding on the KING or the French nation, to make common cause with the VICEROY, in the event of his being threatened with, an inva siom by the Four Powers. The German Papers just received bring the fol lowing.' intelligence from Constantinople. It is highly important, inasmuch as it represents the VICEROY as anxious to come to a settlement with the SULTAN previous to the adoption of any coer cive measures by the Great Po ;vers. Seeing that the VICEROY objects rather to the dictation of the Quadruple Alliance than to the terms which the Four Powers may deem it expedient to propose, and that France shares in the susceptibility of the PA CHA, we think it would perfectly accord with the dignity and the pacific intentions of the Powers to leave tothe SULTAN in the first instance the arrangement of a treaty on a . basis regulated by them, under a guarantee o 2 not consenting to its modification without their permission. The only object of the Treaty of Alliance is to maintain the integrity of the Turkish empire ; and if that object can be per fectly realised without the ostensible interference of the Four Powers, we should regard such a course as the most desirable. Another important subject touched upon is the continuance still of disturbances in Syria. The suddenness with which the mountaineers were re ported to have la'.d down their arms astonished us more than that they had taken them up to resist the tyranny of the VICEROY. The news now communicated of their being still in arms appears to us not at all improbable. CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 22.—Sami Bey left on the 19th on board the Nile steamer, to return to Alexandria. His mission may be considered as having totally fe•led. Reschid Pk.cha's answer was, that it was now impos sible to accept even the best intended proposals of the Viceroy, as the Porte had repeatedly declared that it could not make any arrangement with the Pacha of Egypt without the concurrence of the Powers ; that it had entered into engagements to this eff,ct, which it could not disregard. Besides the terms proposed by Mehemet Ali for an ami cable arrangement did not answer the expectations of the Sultan, many important points not being touched upon. The Porte would, however, immediately communicate the Viceroy's proposals to the Great Powers, and wait for what they might decide in the conference at London. Saari Bey, however, expresses his opinion that the proposals he brought are by no means to be looked upon as an ultimatum ; on t contrary, he hopes shortly to return with the whole Turkish fleet, as the bearer of more accely able proposals, it being the most ardent wish of the Viceroy to be in a situation to give the Sultan proofs of his devotedness and h attachment, the sincerity of whi c h h a d hi t h erto b een un justly doubted.

It seems that the Porte has received very serious exhortations not to enter into nego ciations with Egypt, because the Plenipotentiaries of the Porte and of the European Powers were on the point of agreeing to a solution of the Oriental question. Accounts from Syria say that the French Consul at Beyrout had again hoisted his colours. The troubles in Syria were not quelled, and it was thought the Maronites would hold out some time longer. BRUSSELS, Auousr 9.—The accounts from Prussia, Bavaria, Baden, Wurtemberg, and in general from all Germany, respectirig the crops are highly satisfactory, and it is expected that the harvest will be one of the most abundant that has been for a great many years. If we are rightly informed, orders have been given to break up the camp at Beverloo about thenth of this month. General Daine has received his Majesty's orders to express to the troops in the camp his entire satisfaction with their appearance and proficienc y. His Majesty has caused forty francs to be distributed amongst each company. BRUSSELS, AUGUST 10.—The Count of Syracuse, brother of his Majesty the King of the Two Sicilies, has arrived in this city on his way to Holland. The magistrates of Brussels have reduced the price of bread.

The Ministerial J ourna l s , t h e Constitution nel and the Moniteur P ar i s i en o f Tuesday nigh t, cond e mn the determination of the Council to send Prince Louis NAPOLEON before the Court of Peers, instead of a J ury , f or t r ial ; whereas the Court organ, the Journal des Debuts, applauds the trial of the Princ e by the highest C ourt in the realm. M. TH I ERS then was for trying the Prince by, a common Jury, b u t the King over - r uled the advice of the Mi n i ster, an d i ns i ste d on a trial before the Peers. I n t hi s i nstance , we think the Minister was decidedly r i g h t ; notoriety, to in 'le Prince pants for I unless the ha n g has made u p his mind to i mmure the Imperial Pretender in a du ngeon f or lif e . in significance t h e surest wa y was to. have tried and to have reduce d him him as a vulgar offender against the laws. As for the objection of the Debals, that the Crown could not depend upon the verdict of a Jury, it speaks as ill for the loyalty of the nation as for the subserviency of the Court of Peers, which cannot find the Prince guilty without casting a stain upon the Chambers which in January last voted the legitimacy of NApoLEO.N". However much the country may be prepared for a sentence of guilt upou the uhfortuuate riiuce, all must ftel that the sentbnoe Would conie with a better grace from any quarter than from the Chamber of Pcers—hoin ' the lips of men ennobled by the uncle of th e con demned, The exclamation of France %%ill he. kVliatrver be the Fmk of LOUIS NAPOLEON the 5t ilteit a Of his tiOndenthatitin °tight not come from an assembly of NAPlntoti-mare Mar steals, Generals, Justiciar;es, and Senators.' The further accounts received of the affair a t noUlogne will be found in another part of The Sun. They supply no materials for con-in-tat. The tone of the leading Paris Journals is still pacific. Still, many of the hest-informed persons in Paris seem to think that, without a modification of the Cabinet, which shall include the retirement of M. THiERs,-the difficulty of preserving peacc is not at all lessened by the amicable speech of Lon, PALMERSTON and the moderation of the English, Journals. Tnis op;iiion is not borne out by tlb Constitutionnel of Tuesday, which thus gives ex pression to the modified and pacific intentions of the French Premier : " The English journals comment upon the speech of Lord Palmerston as the homage rendered to the French alliance, and as a guarantee for the preservation of peace. We have ourselves received with satisfaction the language of the English Minister, and we have found th, rein the proof that public opinion in England will not n,aard the chance of w , r, and that the ‘Vitig Cabinet has deemed it necessary to tranquillise the alarm which it had involun• tartly raised. In this respect the discourse of Loid Pal merston is very important, and we are not of the number of those persons who think that a statesman can act in a contrary sense to the language he has held in Parliament. We are, then, sure that acts will follow wt.rds, and that our alliance with England, for a moment shaken, will soon have resumed all its intimacy, and will be still more fortified after the misunderstanding which bad just compro mised it." This is satisfactory enough ; and were the report true which has reached us, that the courier sent by M. Ells to Egypt is commissioned to apprise the VICEROY that France cannot openly espouse his cause against the Four Powers, and that it is the wish of the French Government that he should an- ticipate, by a timely concession, the demands of the Powers, we might look forward to a speedy settle ment of the question in which France would figure in the respectable chatacter of a mediator. That war was not anticipated in Germany is attested b) the following extracts from the German papers quoted by our Paris contemporaries iii juxtaposi tion with their own comments on Lord PALMER STON'S speech : " The quadruple treaty," says the Frankfort Journal, of the 9th, in a Berlin letter of the 31, " concluded by Rus sia, Austria, Prussia, and England. for the pacification of the East, has exercised here less ialuence on the funds than in the other great European cities. The wsrlike de monstrations of France are generally laughed at here, as she certainly would not plunge into the embarrassments el a war for such remote interests All this fuss m.y lead - to a change in the French Ministry, which the Great Powers would, perhaps, see with pleasure. So little is a con centration of a French army on the bails of the Rhine anticipated bete, that the formation of a corps of observa tion has not been dreamt of. Under the present circum stances, France appears to us to be above all other Powers, the one which must most ardently desire peace." The Nurenzberg Correspondent expresses the opinion that war is impossible. " eeace," it says, "is necessary for all Europe, and it will not be disturbed, even if the quadruple treaty fir the pacification of the East should be carried into execution. France will do as Russia did dur ing the siege of Antwerp—leave the sword in the scabbard. The warlike tone of the French papers does not alarm us, and we are astonished at the panic on the Paris Bourse." The Frankfort German Journal in its Cologne corre spondence states that, so far from there being any signs of a corps of observation in Rhenish Prussia, orders, on the contrary, had arrived to disband provisionally the troops which base been two year in service, and such a step would not have been taken but front the conviction that peace was certain One.party in Paris will have it that M. THIERS will at last sacrifice MEHEMET ALI to the main• tenance of his own power, and the British alli ance. "M. THIERS," say they, "is an able man—the cleverest man perhaps in France ; but he is not a man to sacrifice the Presidency of the Council, and the glory of directing the internal policy of Europe to a punctilious regard for some rash pledge given in a moment of Egyptian enthu siasm to the Government of Alexandria." The Journal de Rouen mentions among the persons ar restel two new names, M. de Chateaubleau and the Duc de P., peer of France. The Due de Padouc, whose moue several k.urnals give at full length, is not a member of the Chamber of Peers, and his name is not mentioned in any official document. The infatuation of. the Bonapartists is inconceivable. Not to understand that, at this moment, the army will al ways folio,. the movements of the Chamber, betrays com plete ignorance of the state of things. The Chamber has the kegs of the treasury, and regu lates by law the fate of the army. The officers have now no private fortune. Their whole dependence is on their profession. They cannot, therefore, expose it to the chances of fortune, and it is very is markable that in 1814, 1815, and 1830, the army did not divide into two parties, it did not eneage in a civil war either for Napoleon or Charles the Tenth. It went over altogether to Bonaparte, to the Bourbons, and to the Duke of Orleans. The army, then, is Parliamentary, because the Parliament must govern it. and it will therefore be always for the Government. If, instead of a Parliament, the election of which is a monopoly, we had a Parliament chosen by all the tax-payers, the army would be national instead of bring parliamentary.—La Gazette de France. SPAIN. The Emancipation of the Bth, says: " On the. 29 h of July General Espertero paid an offi cial visit to M. de Redorte, which t:ie latter returned on the 31st. Their interview on both occasions was very long, and they seemed much satisfied with each other. " General Van Haien and Pastor have likewise visited our Anibissador. Ey( rybody at Barcelona, and M. de Redorte himself, is indigaant at the violent and false ac counts given by the telegraph and certain journals, of the events of the 19th and 21st." Muchacho and Caballera have been at Pradet sinco the 4th. A letter from Osseja informs us this morning that Tristany, who alone remains in Catalonia, is said to keep himself concealed, being abandoned by his troops. —Le Commerce. kiOURSE.

Thi , is, it is added, to be accomplished without any additiontl apparatus, and very little expense. MEDHURST—MANSLAUGHTER.---All appli cation was made some days since to the Marquis of Nor manby for a commutation, or rather remission, of the sen tence of the young gentleman named Medhurst, who is under sentence of three years' imprisonment for the man slaughter of his schoolfellow at Hillingdon. The refusal was a decided negative on the merits. He has, therefore. somewhat more than a year and a half still of his term of imprisonment to serve. He is allowed, however, under proper restrictions, to occupy himself in what is called the engineer's room with a lathe, as be has a strong mechanical turn, and manufactures toys, such as chessmen, and similar articles. He seems much subdued in spirit, and conductss himself very submissively. THE PORTSMOUTH BANK ROBBERY.—James \Villain Cules, late principal clerk of the Pottsmouth Bank, who was apprehended on suspicion of b:ing cot cerned in the robbery which to.tit place at that e -tablish ment, has been discharged, after undergoing two examina tions, there being no evidence to sustain the charge brought against bim.

PRSNCE ALBERT.—In a portion of our first edition last evening, we gave an account of an alarming acci dent to his Royal Highness, which was furnished by an occasional contributor of local news. The individual subscribed his name as usual, and as we had no time to make inquiry, we inserted the communication, at the same time expressing a confident hope that the report was greatly exaggerated. On applv'ng in the proper quarter for information, we were glad to learn that the report was entirely destitute of truth. How it originated e have no means of ascerta ning ; but from the following pnragraph in an Evening Contem porary, it appears that a general belief prevailed that the rumour bad some foundation :—" A report got into circulation to-day that Prince Albert had been thrown from his horse and seriously injured. We are happy to say, however, that there was not the least foundation for the rumour, as upon inquiry at the Palace the an swer was that Prince Albert had not been out to-day, The report, neaertheless, had obtained such e reulation aid nun:tuella inquiries had been Made 4t the ruluw."

IRELAND. LOYAL REPEAL ASSOCIATION. Last Monday there was a meeting of this body in the Corn Exchange in Dublin, Mr. M'Cleland in the Chair. Amongst the members admitted that day was Sir M. D. Bellew, Bart., who said that if he did not believe Legislative Independence would lead to happy results, he would.never.have come forward to join the ranks of Repeal. Mr. O'NEILL DAUNT brought forward the Report of the Committee appointed to inquire with regard to the opposition given to the Legislative Union in 1800. The Report was read ; its adoption proposed, te conded, and carried by acclamation. On the motion of Mr. O'CONNELL, a standing order was then rescinded for the purpose of giving to Mr. Ray, who was in a bad state of health, and required assis tance to do the business of the Association, an increase of salary. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman then brought forward a series of resolutions condemning the Corpo rate Reform Act as " derogatory and insulting to the people of Ireland," and as affording addition proof of the impossibility of obtain. ing justice for Ireland without a resident Domestic Legislature. The resolutions were to be placarded through the city, and copies of them transmitted to every member of the old Corporation. Several sums of money were handed in, and Mr. O'Connell said that 124/. 6s. had been received during the last week. The meeting, was adjourned to Monday next.

DRAINING THE HAARLEM the accounts received yesterday from Amsterdam, are given some interesting particulars of the means which it. Is proposed to adopt in the gigantic undertaking fur drying the lake of Haarlem. Mr. Dietz, a celebrated Dutch engineer, has invented a machine which it is supposed will be adopted for this purpose, and by means of which he calculates that 100,000 cubic ells of water may be drained off daily. This ingerious person estimates the b , cly of water contained in the Haarlem Sea at 770 mil• lions of cubic feet, to empty which it would require ten of his machines of thirty hone plvver each, the quantity drained off by them daily being one million of cubic feet, thus making the period required for its entire removal 300 days.
