The Publication of the Evening Edition of THE SUN com menced at 10 minutes after Three. 3 14 1 . 4, pj •,-.; ; , ZTle nll+ LONDON: MONDAY, JULY 27. 1840. The assertion made by Sir ROBERT PEEL in the House of Commons on Friday evening, to which we briefly adverted in The Sun of Saturday, in speaking of JOHN THOROGOOD and the ecclesias tical law, " that if men were allowed to disobey the law upon the allegation that their consciences com pelled them to do so, there would be a dissolution of the bonds of society," seems to us to deserve some further notice. It is plain from THOROGOOD'S case that men cannot be prevented from disobeying the law though they may be punished for disobedi ence. Unless the ruling powers could place a police officer at every man's elbow,—and then we are not sure that the project would succeed,—every man will decide for hil - nself whether he will obey the law or not. It is net in the power of the legislator to make a man obey the law any more than an army can make a horse drink, though a child can lead him to a pond. The legislator may inflict stripes for disobedience, he may crush a man's spirit by cruelty, or take away his life by the sharp axe, but he cannot reach the will of one of his subjects, and they must be allowed to obey er disobey as they please• Sir ROBERT PEEL is one of those who would crush the spirit of disobedience, even when con scientious, by severity. If the same case of refusal to pay .ss. 6d. for the use of a Church which a man never enters, and for the services of a parson a man may thoroughly despise, were again to occur, again, he avowed, he would incarcerate the honest and upright man who resisted an odious species of plunder ordained by the law ; and again the righteous and religious Tory Baronet, careless though it caused the lingerin g death of a human being, would d oom hi m to hopeless captivity, terminable, as far as we at present see, only with death. The Right lion. Baronet would do this to make the law be respected. What a knowledge does this display of the human heart ! He would support an avowed injustice by a scan dalous cruelty, to excite respect. Fear, terror, hatred, he might excite by such means, but never respect. Nor would he make the people obey the law. JOHN T HOROGOOD i s not the only man .who would now resist the law as to Church -rates for conscience-sake. Shutting him up in gaol has made the iniquity of the law very generally known, and strengthened in hundreds and thousands of persons the determination to oppose and resist the exaction. The blood of the martyrs has ever been the seed of the faith, and the use of cruelty to pro cure obedience to a law which men are unwilling to obey only increases the motives to disobedience. The punishment inflicted on THOROGOOD came after the offence ; and it has not diminished, but in creased, the motives in other men to disobey the same law. Not only, therefore, does it lie beyond the power of the legislator to prevent disobedience, but the means he employs to punish it, when it occurs, fail in promoting obedience. It seems to us of great importance that this subject should be fully examined, because there is a very general and a very increasing disposition amongst the masses to question the utility of many laws and to disobey them. For example, the whole of Chartism is founded on an opinion that the present political constitution of society is erroneous, and they try to overturn it. Should they succeed, would society he destroyed ? Unless men remain united in society there can be no civilization, and they might look forward to a dreary future if the existence of society depended on their obeying ecclesiastic a l an d other bad laws, or on having those laws enforced into respect by such cruelty as that inflicted on THOROGOOD. We •lannot help concluding that Sir R. PEEL made a Boss mistake, and that he should at least have before the ord If ; placed tha epithet "good" * THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, JULY 271.140. men do not obey guod laws society may be dissolved , but not if trey disobey bad laws. is We must, there fore, inform Sir R. PEEL that it his duty to make good laws, not to compel men by cruelty to obey bad ones. Can any man, for example, suppose, if the great mass of consumers of bread were to refuse obedience to the bread-tax, that the bonds of so ciety would be dissolved? If they were to set the Custom-house at defiance, and run cargoes of wheat at every port in the kingdom, would society fall asunder ? Not it, indeed. The farmers would not pay their rents the landowners would not pay their rent-charge to the parsons to the full—some few persons might have a dimi nished income, but society would not suffer one tithe of the misery which is now inflicted on it by the murderous Corn-laws. Not a landlord, we may be sure, dear and useful as their presence is to the rest of the people, would leave us to pine at losing him in consequence of such an act of disobedience. Though the bread-tax of twopence on every four pound loaf should be abolished by the resistance of the starving people, every land-owner would still bless us with his services for the sake of his rent. In like manner if a great act of dis obedience should set aside the odious and unjust discriminating duties on timber, or the equally odious discriminating duties on sugar and coffee, the shipowners and lunsberers in Canada, and the planters in the West Indies, who now pocket amongst them yearly some ten millions of taxes levied on the people, might be a little worse off than at present ; but they would each and all continue to lend society the light of their countenance and the benefit of their service, and it would be as closely united as if the most rigid and willing obedience were paid to the laws which now so unjustly levy taxes on corn, timber, coffee, and sugar. Sir ROBERT PEEL, then, is altogether in error on this point. Society is a natural phenomonon which is not held together by positive institutions, however much they may modify it for good or evil. A writer in the Athenaeum of Saturday last said— The necessity which impels men to unite in association, is a physical necessity, arising immediately out of the peculiarities of the human organization ; and so essential is co-operation to our continued existence, that fiction itr.elf, in isolating an individual, and removing him from the beneficial influence of his species, has been com pelled, not merely to endow him with the ordinary knowledge derived from society, but to surround him with no small portion of the material products of associated labour. The fact of association, therefore, must be taken as coeval with man ; nor is it necessary to appeal to the negative testimony of history, which has preserved no record of a period in which the principle was not already in full activity. In the instincts which Provi. dence has planted in the human breast, may be read the certain evidence that society is a condition inseparable from humanity ; and that the principle of association must have been called into operation from the very beginning. Now, it is impossible to look with attention upon the re corded history of mankind, ;valiant being satisfied of two facts : first, that the associating tendency is a constant ele ment in the affairs of man, while the various repelling forces which have, from time to time, limited and controlled its activity, are accidental and contingent; and secondly, that civilization itself has uniformly been accompanied in its advances by the increased activity and comprehension of this principle. The physical necessity gives rise to physical lavis, and of them society is the result. It has existed under all forms of government, and with all kinds of positive institutions, and has grown and flourished in spite of many fiscal regulations, which, like the Corn-laws, tend to snake men hate each other, and sks burst the bonds of society. It may be very flat tering to the self-love of Sir R. PEEL and his like to suppose that the union of men in society de pends on their tutelary care, but such is not now the general opinion ; while the maxim we have cri ticised, instead of being received as undoubted truth, will be rather regarded as a mere cunning saying of a cunning man, intended to frighten people into submission to Toryism. Ireland is most provokingly tranquil. All that the Orangemen can do—and they have not been idle of late—they cannot succeed in exciting the people to break the laws. Nothinc , beyond the magnitude of a " row" has rewarded their patriotic labours for some time past, and there is, we are happy to think, a still less chance of their being 0 able to disturb the public peace in future. Till of late years the Irish people had reason to consider law and oppression as synonymous terms. Under the Orange regime, they always found that., when any peculiarly atrocious injustice was to be perpetrated, the readiest way to accomplish the object in view was to drag the victim before a legal tribunal. Was it to be wondered at that the laws should be hated and broken where they were known only as a scourge in the hands of tyrants ?' With a liberal Government came justice and mercy hand in hand. The impartial administration of the laws gradually commanded the confidence and se cured the obedience of the people. In the Temperance organisation, too, a principle of incalculable power has come into play, which, while it promises to give, and indeed is giving, a new aspect to the great mass of Irish society, dis arms Orangeism of its most deadly weapon. It has hitherto been the practice of the Orange fac tion, to use intemperance as the instrument of their demoniacal policy. Father MATHEW has now wrested that instrument from their hands. We shall probably be asked by some of our Tory Contemporaries, on what grounds we assert the diminution of crime in Ireland, and the influence of the temperate system on the people ? We take a test to which the Tories cannot object, as it is that to which, when it seems to suit their purposes, they are never reluctant to appeal—the state of the calendars at the assizes. In another part of The Sun will be found an article from an Irish Con temporary, which, we are sure, will be read with much interest, as it avouches a great and rapid im provement in the character and habits of the Irish people, not on vague report, but on the testimony of the Judges themselves. Some of the good people of St. George's in the East have taken it into their heads to protest against the noise of the Blackwall Railway. They have even gone so far as to threaten an indictment for a nuisance, unless the machinery can be prevailed upon to exercise its functions according to the silent sys tem. This is sufficiently absurd. It is rather too late in the day to come with an objection of this kind. If the complaining parties have auditory organs of such excessive sensitiveness, why did they not state this objection before the Committee of the House of Commons, to whom the Bill for this railway in its passage through the Legislature was referred ? That would have been the proper time. Instead of following this straightforward course, they never say a word until a vast amount of capi tal has been embarked in the undertaking, and the working of the railway actually commenced ! It really looks as if they had suppressed their objec tion for the purpose of making a catch at the pro prietary when they should be at their mercy. This proceeding is tantamount to saying, " Now we have you—if you don't come down handsomely we'll indict you." The men of the East, wise as they proverbially are, will perhaps find that they have overshot their mark in this instance. If the noise of machinery be an indictable nuisance, we should like to know what would become of St. George's in the East ? Why, the Tower Hamlets would be depopulated. Were their own principles carried out to their fair and legitimate extent, the very persons who are I now at - tempting to get up this senseless cry against the Bl ac k wa ll Railway, would be the first to feel th e effects of such folly, and the loudest in their complaints against it. The truth is, the district throu g h w hi c h t h e Bl ac k wa ll Railway runs is the region of to sounds, and smells, absolutely nuisances. It is full of all m anner of annoyances people of delicate nerves. It abounds i n sights, harrowing to fine -strung organs. But the inh a bi tants do not complain, because it is for their interest that the causes of these annoy ' ances should exist among them. If they dispense with steam-engines and workshops, they must also dispense with bread. Mutual forbearance is there fore the order of the day, and we cannot help thinking that the Vestry of St. George's in the East will do a very foolish thing if they persist in their resolution to depart from a practice which has hitherto been found so bene rn fi u ci c a h l to the community. They will not suc ceed. 1 he Blackwall Railway is too identified with public utility, too much mixed up with the convenience and recreation of a large mass of the inhabitants of the metropolis, as well as with its great commercial and shipping in terests, to be put down by the unreasonable clamour of a few individuals. We cannot conclude these remarks without a ~ crd or two on the resolution proposed by a Re verend Gentleman of the name of DOUGLAS, and passed by this Vestry. This resolution declares that conveying passengers on a Sunday is a dese cration of the Sabbath. Cant of this kind is now become so common that it ceases to create any sur prise, or even to excite any attention. The clergy, as a body, are the greatest enemies to the working classes. They not only help to starve them by the bread -tax, which they are even more strenuous than the owners of the soil in advocating, and sup porting by their enormous influence, but they seem to take a spiteful and malignant pleasure in ex cluding them from the enjoyment of the pleasures —and GOD knows these are both few and small — which are within their reach, and which might, for a short space, divert their minds from the con templation of that almost unremitting and ill-re quited toil to which their bodies are doomed. The working man, who has worn his bones and sinews in labour during six days, can now, on the seventh, take his wife and children out of the un wholsome atmosphere in which they are cooped up, and give them a breath of fresh air, and a sight of green fields. But " no," says the churlish priest ; " this a pleasure for the rich not for the poor," The man of GOD sees no harm in Sunday travel ling in those who are wealthy enough to keep their own carriages, use their own horses, and employ their own servants. In such cases there is no sacer dotal sympathy either with man or beast. But let a man, broken down with six days' hard work, at tempt to convey himself by an Inanimate machine to Gravesend on Sunday, for a little health and re creation, that is indeed a crime—that is a dese cration of the Sabbath I that must be put a stop to immediately We tell these professors of ultra-godliness that this crusade against the enjoyments of the working classes is as impolitic as it is uncharitable and un christian. These classes are now far too enlight ened not to see that the men cannot be sincere, who pretend to consider that as a crime in one class which is blameless in another. "If loco motion on Sunday," they argue, "is to be voted a heinous transgression of the law of GOD, why do not you, the BishOps and Clergy, make the higher classes give it over first ? They 'can take as much air and exercise as they please during the week, and to them it can be no hardship to sit still on Sunday. Instead of this reasonable way of acting, you adopt a course the very reverse ; you allow the higher classes, who ought to set the ex ample to the lower, to do just as they please, while you are constantly making laws to harass the work ing classes, cutting them off from the exercise of all natural liberty, and the enjoyment of all innocent recreation. We have heard it said that one man may steal a horse when another dares not look over a hedge, but such a doctrine does not come with a good grace from the State-paid preachers of religion, and the consecrated guardians of the national mo rality." We have received a file of the South Australian Register to the I st of March inclusive, but it brings no news of any importance. We shall endeavour to make room to-morrow for an article addressed to " Newly arrived Settlers," in answer to some strictures in a Scotch Journal reflecting on the climate of the colony. At Port Lincoln several public companies have been formed, and speculation and enterprise seem as rife as in the mother country. Brussels and German Papers of the latest dates have just reached us. The following are extracts from them : Sr. PETERSBURGH, JUNE 17.—Reports having been spread that the Government has commissioned several mer cantile houses to make large purchases of corn in the ports of the Baltic and of foreign countries, it is judged neces sary to inform the public that these reports are entirely destitute of foundation, and are probably spread by de signing speculators, for the purpose of causing a rise in the prices of corn, and of throwing impediments in the way of the trade in that article. The Government, far from circumscribing the freedom of the corn trade, affords it, on the contrary, every possible facility. KIEL, JULY 21.—Two Russian men-of-war, the Amora frigate of 64 guns, and the Ines Woodchefshy corvette of 32 guns, arrived here on Saturday, the 18;b, avid this morn ng the Nectar brig joined them.

We copy, from the Monzteur of Saturday, the following official intelligence, which ap peared in the Messager of Friday night : " The new Spanish Ministry was formed on the evening of the 20th inst. It is composed as follows: " Antonio Gonzales, President and Minister of Justice. " Charles de Onis, Foreign Affairs. " Vineent Sancho, Interior. " Valentin Ferras, War. " Feria, Finance. " Armero, Marine. " It is now announced, contrary to the first statement, that the Queen has not recalled the assent she had given to the Municipality Bill. On the 21st inst., the excite ment at Barcelona was very great, but the insurrection had ceased." According to the Capitolc, the Marquis DE MIRA FLORES, the Spanish Ambassador at Paris, has officially given notice to the French Government that, the QUEEN REGENT being no longer free, his functions have ceased. The Commerce states, also, that a report was in circulation that the French Government had ordered Louis PHILIPPE'S Representative at the Spanish Court to return to Paris if he found the QUEEN not at full liberty. These are very foolish proceedings on all sides, and may bring about a catastrophe which the French Government may long have reason deeply to lament. The Corporations Bill, against which ESPAR TERO had set his face, was a virtual abrogation of the Constitution. The Cortes by whom it was passed were well known to the Regent and the people, to be no more the legal representatives of Spain than the members of the British House of Commons. They were returned by fraud, violence, and corruption on the part of the Cabinet; and if ESPARTERO did not sooner openly denounce them, it wrs because be wished not that the army should presume to over-awe a Legislative Assem bly, however constituted, as it would establish a most dangerous precedent ; and next, because the Regent had secretly pledged herself not to give the Royal sanction to any law passed by the present Chambers—knowing, as she professed to do, that they were unconstitutionally elected—which would in fact abridge the liberties and immunities secured to the Spanish people by the Constitution. ESPARTERO, however, had learned not to put too much faith i the promises of Princes. He took care to secure the affec tions of the army ; and a Ministerial secret correspon dence which he recently discovered, and in which the REGENT happened to be implicated, convinced him of the prudence of the course which he had adopted. He, however, held his peace ; and from what has since taken place, we hare no doubt whatever but the object of the REGENT, in coming to bead-quarters, was to persuade the army to declare for her and the Ministry ; to give the Royal sanction to the obnoxious Corporation Bill ; and, in the event of any offence being given by ESPARTERO, suddenly to dismiss him, and per haps order him to try for a time what benefit could be derived from a foreign climate. We know the cha racter of the REGENT, and of her family, too well not to be certain that she would have no misgivings upon such a matter. The latest accounts from the Spanish capital and Barcelona will be found in another part of The Sun. To them we refer our readers for inte'esting details, be premature to offer a word of I c u o p rn on m t e v n h t i . ch it would Much t w will depend upon the French Go vernment, or rather everything now rests with the King of the FRENCH and M.

QUEEN, the popular ferment will The articles on the Eaitern question in the Paris Journals consist, for the most part, of epectilattons conjectures, which it would be a waste of space to transfer to our columns, and a waste of time to com ment upon, No fresh communication either from Con stantinople or Alexandria had reached Paris on Sa turday, Sir MOSES MONTEFIORE and the deputation on be half of the Syrian Jews were at Marseilles on the 20th inst. Sir Masts expected to reach Alexandria about the first week in August, whence he would journey with out delay to Damascus. At Marseilles it was gene rally expected that the French Government would, to screen the French Consul, throw every impediment in the way of the inquiry. It was even understood that the VICEROY has already been tampered with, and at Alexandria the influence of France is at this moment all-powerful. We trust reports so disgraceful to the French Government—so infamous so far as regards M. Thiers—are unfounded. The following extracts include what other news .here is in the Paris journals : A journal says that four thousand Spaniards will shortly be sent to Africa ; of the three of f icers to each company one is to be a Frenchman, as well as the Adjutant-Major of each battalion ; the others arc to he Spaniards. Con trary to the military regulations, the word of command is to be given in Spanish.--La Gazette de France. Yesterday afternoon the King gave a private audience to Vice-Admiral Baron Mackau. After taking leave of his Majesty, the Admiral waited on the President of the Council, with whom he remained a consid rabic time. Baron Mackau, who has set out this morning for Cher bourg, is invested with the Commander•in-chief of the French naval force employed in the South American seas, and has full powers from the King's Government to nego tiate on the affairs of France in the Rio de la Plata. The expedition placed under his command is amply pro vided with all the means fur carrying the object into exe cution, which had been previously collected to insure success. The eminent services rendered by Admiral Mackan during the last thirty years in the numerous missions with which he has been entrusted in almost all parts of the globe, - and especially at. St. Domingo, Carthagena, the Antilles, and more recently in the administration of the most important of our colonies especially recommended him, under the circumstances which have occurred, to the choice of the cabinet, whose entire confidence he enjoys. MARSEILLES, JULY 20.—The Indian mail is expected about the end of the month. There are ttvo, in fact, on the way; OHO from Bombay, with dates of June 1, and the other with dates of June 20. The former takes Aden and Suez, and the latter toe Persian Gulf. It is thought here by naval men connected with the latter service that the Bassora mail will be first.

It broke out in the Peniten tiary and the Female House of Correction. Out of a road party of one hundred and twenty-two, near New Town, 95 were attacked, and fi!ty are still laid up. The average of mortality in Hobart Town since its commencement has been calculated at as one in seven, nearly twice the amount of what is generally computed as the result of the most fatal fever. Another proof of its fatal character—the Malcolm Huts road party—out of twenty-eight attacked with the fever, fourteen have died. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

THE TORIES AND THE ABO LITION OF THE PUNISHMENT OF DEATH. TO 771 E EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The able and spirited manner in which you have stood up for Mr. Kelly's Bill, forms a singular contrast to the line adopted by the Morning Herald, who with its usual insolence and petulance towards the liberal party, seeks to convert this Bill into the means of party warfare. After all the vapouring of this feeble and dull print about " brutal and bloody Whigs," " ragged Radicals," " shirtless Reformers," &c., what do the division lists show ? Let us hear the Spectator of Saturday last : " Very few Liberals vote with Lord John on this question, aria only three Tories with Mr. Kelly. The Anti-Ministerial majorities consist of the usual sup porters of the Government." Let us hope, Sir, that as this silly print has endea voured, with a singular mixture of cunning and preva rication, to bold out the Tories to its readers as the real friends to the abolition of capital punishment, and the Liberal party as advocates for the continuance ef laws of blood, you will, in one of your able and talented ar ticles, set the public right on this point, and show who are the real friends of Mr. Kelly's Bill, though opposed to him on almost every other political question. With respect, Sir, your obedient servant, PETER MILDWAYS. IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT (IRE LAND) BILL. Our attention has been called to this Bill by a Mem ber of the "Committee of the LAW Society of Ireland, now in London. It is a much more comprehensive measure than its heading imports, and alters, in many most important matters, the existing jurisdiction and practice of the Courts of Law and Equity in Ireland. We admit that many improvements are contained in this Bill (which is now before the House of Lords), particularly in the clauses as to the initial names of par ties sued being sufficient—those as to allowing interest on simple contract debts, attaching moneys in the. Funds, &c.—and the one enabling Commissioners to take affidavits of the perfection of assignments of judg ments in Ireland. Other parts of the measure would perhaps require more consideration than at this period of the Session may be enabled to be given to the sub ject, but the law officers of Ireland, and the Committee of the Law Society of that country have certainly been most actively and usefully employed on these important subjects. ATTORNEYS AND SOLICITORS (IRELAND) BILL. This is a most just and proper measure, it enables a properly admitted attorney and solicitor into any one Court in Ireland to be admitted an attorney of the other Courts without payment of any additional stamp dut) as is the case in England. We hope the next step will be still further to assimilate the profession in the two countries by giving the Irish attorney and solicitor his fees in British instead of the late Irish currency. It is a monstrous anomaly and injustice to say that the Fish solicitor is to bear every charge which the con nexion of the two countries may impose, and that he is not to receive his jus t rights in return. All such dis tinctions should be done away. The Law Society of Ireland should persevere as to this, and we are con fident they will be successful in the next Session of Parliament. EVENING ED I 1.110. N. with great warmth upon the propriety of being grateful to their old ally, and cf the policy of maintaining a friendly intercourse with Great Britain. It is understood that the Government have under their serious consideration the doing away with the bounty of 15 per cent. on the duties of all merchandize imported from Great Britain in Portuguese vessels; the Customs reve nue during the past year con•equent upon this measure ex hibiting :deficit of 150 contos de reis, or 34,5001_ sterling. The treaty of commerce with the United States is not yet concluded. The treaty with 'great Britain is spoken of as ranking next in succession to that of the United States. It is edeulatcd that since Lord Palmerstontg bill for the further suppression of the slave trade has been put into ex ecution, that iniquitous traffic has considerably augtnented, and that 200,000 Africans have beer, annually exported to various parts. The vigorous measures by b.nd and by sea adoptt•d by the authorities of the Spanish Custom-houses, to pre, vi rit British manufactures bing clandestinely introduced into Spain from Gibraltar, have thrown a great quantity of merchandize thence into this market. It is computed that 2,600 pipes of French brandy have been smu..:gled into the north of Portugal since the ist of this year, which quantity is equal to the consumption of 20,000 pipes if wine of the country. This circumstance has created an ill feeling towards the ratification of the treaty with Spain for tl.ie free navi ; !ation of the river Douro. The Nacional, under the head of " Ways and Means,' ' sets f,rth, " That the army absorbs annually two-thirds of the public receipts, the Royal household 600 contos, the increase of the financial year of 1810 to 1841, 800 contos ; that they have three years' dividends to pay in London yet to satisfy the English Government debt and private claim• ants, and the country borne down with taxes, which do not yield more than 8,000 contos de reis, to meet all these charges; therefore, in what consists the imaginary expe dient to fill up the frightful deficit which appears in our budget? That the Government, setting aside the legisla tive dispositions relative to the public moneys, continue to ' anticipate the revenue of the tobacco contract, whose draughts are discounted in the Lisbon Bank at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, and as the outgoings considerably exceed the income, we have no other remedy left but to prepare ourselves for a general and calamitous bankruptcy. This is the legacy that awaits us from the Ministry of Order." The infamous and atrocious assassin Diego Alvcz and nine accomplices, including a female, who last September perpetrated the horrible murders at the residence of Dr. Andrade, in Rua de Alecrim, were brought up for trial on " Wednesday last. The first was sentenced to death, seven to transportation for life, one for ten years, and two fiber- " ated. This decision has given universal dissatisfaction to the inhabitants. The assassin Manoel .roce Lopes Queijo, who had made his escape on the 25th ult., while on the road to his place of execution, and was apprehended disguised as a mule teer, suffered the extreme penalty of the law at Villa de Basto on the 11th instant, evincing the most poignant contrition. The remainder of the bills fur the payt.lent of the tish civil claims, brought out by the Marquis de Saldanha to have the interest added to them, will be transmitted to London by the mail. Arrived on the 17th the Tagus steam-packet, from Lon don and Falmouth, with the mail of the 11th instant. On the 18th the Espoir brig-of-war, from St. Übes.

MADRID, JULY 18. The tranquillity of the capital has been disturbed in an unexpected manner, but up to this moment the tumult 12 0 not been attended with any serious consequences. Some men of suspicious appearance, armed with clubs , rushed on a sudden into the most populous parts of the city, and particularly the markets, and attacked every one sill wore a red cap (Beret basque). They even insulte e , every woman who happened to wear a red hansikerchil and tore it off her neck. The authorities, appri,:ed this disorder, sent strong detachments of infantry an cavalry to the quarter in which it occurred, wh o put th e insurgents to flight." The Ministerial correspondence from Barcelona, M a i the 18th inst., contains the following details, which are De; without importance, although the telegraph has giv e " later news : The courier from Madrid, who left that on the 81 1 inst. with the Municipality Bill to receive the R O Y * assent, arrived at Barcelona on the 15th inst., after hall% passed through Valencia. The Queen immediately her assent, and, at the very time that the courier r r 'r e leaving the Palace with the assent, there waks a levee he l d, held there, at which several officers of the garr i son assist e On the 16th inst., Espartero, who had not been ab le induce the Queen to withhold her assent, sent in his rt, . üblie° signation in a letter which was intended to be madep This document, which was the production of Ms the Chief of the Staff, has not yet been published, bu t it said to be couched in severe terms, and is more like 2 20 ; cusation, not only against the Ministers, but againes ' fi e d Queen herself, if we are to believe persons well ini nri f,,,t on the subject.

General Chacon is then to visit the army, and Pei, pare their minds for the manifesto which is to be publish.o The Municipality of Saragossa, in pronouncing its oPia l ,4 against the Municipality Bill, declared with a revolutio ns " energy, that they would fire grapeshot against the dart; Other municipalities have likewise protested against r a j Bill. It is easy to see that the English party is tonne 'y with these manifestations of.public opinion. Some Eng tio e officers, who enjoyed with Espartero the popular On o, which he received en his entry into Barcelona, having ° t o ciated themselves with his glory, wish to associate ho with their plans of progressive liberty. Esparterot t l l r has for a long time yieldd to this infl uence , i s incessa ll a a proclaiming himself the ch am pi on o f nat i onal indepentbe as if some foreign pow er (F rance, f or example) ha"tjes pretension to meddle in the affairs of the Peninsula. w ill der such circumstances, should Espartero's 'partY L e- dis. the advantage, the consequences would be—first, tin e e s; missal of the Ministers; second, a dissolution of the ut o ld third, revolutionary elections.

On Saturday, at the Brantford Petty Sessions, William Saitch, an inhabitant of that town, was charged be fore the Bench of Magistrates with having, on Sunday morn ing last, stolen one root of potatoes, of the value of one penny, the property of S'r Felix Booth, Bart., the eminent distiller. From the evidence of a boy it appeared the defendant was seen whil t rassing along a foot-path on Sir Felix Booth's property, to pull a root of haulm, pick off the potatoes, and put them into his pocket. The defendant did not deny having done so, and expressed his sorrow at his having acted so inadvertently, not thinking it any harm. The Bench said it was as much a robbery as if the value of the property had been larger. Many persons seemed to think they had a right while passing through a potatoe, turnip.or pea-field, to pick what they pleased, which, if permitted, would soon occasion the field to be emptied ; therefore, to show the illegality of such conduct, they should v•invict the defendant, but, considering he had acknowledged his fault, they should fine him only ss. and ss. costs, or 21 days' imprisonment.

" That the duty on Britislf Plantation Coffee be re duced to sd. per lb., and that the duty on coffee imported from British ports within the limits of the East India Com pany's charter, be reduced to lid. per 1b.," is grounded in justice and equity ; and it is hoped the House of Corn mons will at once deal with it as the general interest of the community requires. " We may add, the very high price of tea and sugar at the present time, makes it necessary that the poor should have a cheap beverage, and provided the B. P. coffee be reduced to 5d., and the East India and Cape to 7id., the consumption will greatly increase, and the revenue be benefited by the change. The East India coffees really consumed here, are nearly all free labour coffees. The 13rrzil and other unclean sorts, are not saleable here, for consumption." " 132, Fenchurch-street, July 23, 1840."

CUSTOMS BILL IN COMMITTEE The following strong reasons for supporting an amend ment in the 11th clause of the Bill, require the immediate attention of the Legislature : " The present duty on British Plantation Coffee is 6d. per lb. ; the duty on Coffee imported from the British Ports, within the limits of the East India Company's Charter, is 91. per lb. ; being already a protecting duty in favour of British Plantation Coffee of 50 per cent., which protection is fully adequate to secure to the West India interest the command of the English Market. while the dealer in East India Coffee is compelled to submit io severe sacrifices to effect a sale of Coffee for home con sumption. " By the Bill now in Committee, it is proposed, in the 11th cl , use, to reduce further the duty on British Plantation Coffee Id. per lb., leaving the East India Coffee without reduction, at 91. This is clearly a mani fest injustice to the East India dealer and importer, for whether the duty be sd. and 91., or 6d. and 10d., the evil is the same, because it is increasing the protecting duty on British Plantation from 50 to 80 per cent., the effect of which will be to exclude East India importation altogether for home consumption, except in case of great scarcity, end in the m•-an time the British Plantation Produce would, by the increased protection to its monopoly, realize an exorbitant price. By the proposed alteration in the duty, a manifest in justice is done to the public—the consumers; inasmuch as the reduced Id. per lb. or 103. per cwt. duty, would be a bonus to the West India importer; for their Coffee, in consequence of the limited supplies, would ,be held, and the market scantily supplied, until the price had risen in the Fame prop-Ttion as the duty had been reduced. The consumer, therefore. being compelled to pay equally for his Coffee, while the reduction of taxation is intended as a benefit to the tax-payer—the consumer. "The reduction of the duty in the same ratio on the East India importation, as is proposed on the West India, will coafer on the consumer a great benefit, because it will keep in check the evils of monopoly ; it will give to the consumer hie Coffe..t at a fair price, and will allow him the opportunity of purchasing Coffee best suited to his taste. " After the Twenty Millions voted as compensation to the West India interest, it is clearly evident that they are not entitled to the increased protection of monopoly—to the injury of other great commercial interests and the con sumer in general. In consequence of the inadequacy of the supply of Bri tish Plantation Coffee to meet the consumers' demand, such Coffees are realizing more than double the price ob tained in the year 1830 ; and the East India importer and dealer having faith in the continuance of the present du ties of 6d. and 9d. had been induced to import largely, and cargoes of considerable amount are now afloat for the English market. Therefore this contemplated reduction of the duty on British Plantation Coffee, unless extended to East India importation now in bond or afloat in the same ratio, will inflict on such importers and dealers, a most unjustifiable and oppressive loss in such Coffee per cwt., equal in amount to the duty proposed to be reduced e. Id. per lb. " Nearly all the Coffee imported from the East India ports is the produce of free labour, but such as is the pro. duce of slave labour, is nearly all re-shipped, being found unsuitable for the English market. " For these reasons the amendment proposed, the spirit of which is— 1 ~ "tli etne - , ex cept of his stantly Co spy pistle!
