MEETING IN THE ISLE OF THa.NET.-__T he annual meeting of the steam-packet proprietors, s hi p _ • owners, and merchants, took place at St. Peter's dens, on Monday last, being the third anniversary, J o h n Wilkin, Esq., the President and one of the Directors of the General Steam N avi g ation Company, in the air. - This Society was established in the year 1838, on the oe . easion of a dinner being given by the shipowners and Iteam-packet proprietors to Mr. Matthias Wolverley Att. wood, M.P. for Greenwich. for his spirited and successful t i l' i rs hien to a Bill laying a heavy duty on coals imported shi tusgate and reshipped, effecting very materiall y the the agate and commercial interests of the Unit ed Kin g dom, epenectea to be applied to local purposes in no res p ect fur this • i ' i th commerce.

Forty of the General Steam clef Company having become and of the Commer subser.ibers, many ship- brokers and commercial men resident in London also be- I came subscribers. stated, some time back, that the second letter o: Captain REYNOLDS was so clearly a breach of military discipline that he must be found guilty. It was from the first plain that he had nothing to hope from the partiality of his Judges. They shut out all the evidence which could in the most re mote degree explain or justify his conduct; they even excluded evidence to character which might have weighed with compassionate men, as if they were resolved to steel their hearts against every human feeling. Like perfect mirrors, undisturbed by any kindly influence, they appear to have re- fleeted unaltered the images of the Horse Guards, and the Articles of 'War ; or, like automatons, they gave out the sounds they received without any change. They confined themselves most rigidly to the second letter, and accordingly have cashiered Captain REYNOLDS. His namesake may think himself fortunate that he was only traduced behind his back. Had he been subjected to a court-martial for frowning on the Earl of CARDIGAN, or for telling Captain J. JONES that he would hold him responsible for bringing impertinent messages, instead of receiving a reprimand, he too would have been cashiered. The other Captain REY NOLDS, must now be fully sensible that it is for the advantage of subalterns to receive reproof from the mouth of Lord HILL or the Military Secretary ; and that when it is desired effectually to ruin a man, the proper instrument to employ is a sub servient court-martial composed of officers of high rank. In one respect the court-martial has not confined itself to merely reflecting the image of the Horse Guards. It had on one point an opinion of its own. It said— The Court having performed its duty, cannot sepa rate without recording its opinion on the following points of Evidence : " In the course of the Evidence to Character, wit nesses have stated, that they considered the accused was incapable of insubordination without some extraordinary causes of provocation; or unless under provocation which no man qf honourable feeling could endure : thus apparently sanctioning the idea, that there might be circumstances of private irritation which would jus tify a Soldier breaking from the established order of Military Discipline,—a doctrine so totally subversive of the fundamentll principles by which all Armies arc go verned, that the Court feels called upon to Etamp it with marked Reprobation. What spirited young man would not aspire to be a subaltern officer after such a decision and such a remark ? " Whatever may have been your con duct," it says, " however long and meritoriously you have served, though yoit'have under the most trying circumstances evinced the greatest respect for your superiors, and have shown yourself most anxious, even at the expense of pri vate feelings, to promote public service, and whatever provocation you may have received to forget the respect due to your superior —character, conduct, provocation, all avail nothing; discipline must be preserved ; and for the slightest offence against an ill-tempered, ungentlemanly commander, you must be cashiered:! Who would not give three or four thousand pounds to have the honour of showing a reverence for such a decree, or of eating the dirt of the Horse Guards ? To inquire of a gentleman whether he have grossly insulted you, seems to be a breach of disci pline ; to bring evidence to prove that you are incapable of insubordination, unless from a good cause, is destructive of all the principles by which armies are governed. - High-spirited young men, who like to give away a fortune to purchase the privi lege of being insulted with impunity, will hasten to buy commissions in the army. Many of the subalterns who already possess commissions will be ready, we presume, to relinquish them, on re• ceiving the price they have paid, for they can only regard the money they have given as so many bonds binding them to submit to insult whenever a favourite of the Horse Guards shall please to inflict it, and enforce it by a backbiting complaint, or a subservient Court. We regret to add that her MAJESTY has been so ill-advised as to approve of, and confirm the finding and sentence of the Court. By that, a severe blow has been struck at the army. It may hereafter retain the mere form of subordination— the spirit will be dead. Enterprise, zeal, energy, will all be extinguished by such a proceeding. A service which, by its rules, can give effect to the personal views of the Earl of CARDIGAN, must be unworthy of men of honour. In other times testimony as to character was regarded as of some importance ; an act of insu bordination was in all ranks considered in relation to its exciting cause ; but this Court has decreed that however insulting and injurious may be the conduct of a 'oerior, it must be submitted to in silence. The Earl of CARDIGAN is a fortunate man in having a friend at the Horse Guards, bu t the Horse Guards will be "stamped with marked reprobation " for taking on itself all the errors and follies of the Earl of CARDIGAN. From the mo ment that we read the names and qualities of the members of the Court, we were satisfied that Captain REYNOLDS would be sacrificed on the pretended altar of military discipline. We at the same time believe that not above one or two officers in every regiment will approve of the finding of the court, and of the reprobation with which it has stamped all attempts to prove by evidence that the conduct of;the personwho provokes insubordination. and the character of the person accused of it, are of some consequence in determining the exact quantum of guilt. gatheringT he present fine weather is most favourab le for in the yet outstanding crops in the ' r North, an d for sowing the seed for the next year's crop, which is always of excellent augury. Two or three good seasons will make the price of corn fall very low, but not so low as if the Corn-laws had not been evaded. By working the averages last year and the present year, about 3,000,000 Iquarters of corn were introduced into consumption at a nominal duty. But for that, our population would have wanted these 3 ,000,000 quarters of food, and would have been starved down nearly to the level of t he su pp l y produced in England. Evading the law, then, has contributed to keep our ahead of our own supply. If a pl ent if u l 1) harvest opul a shouldpopulation bless us ne xt y ear, t he c onsequen ce of thus evading the law, against which mr, THE SUN L HANDLEY has made such loud protestations, will be, that the price of corn will not fall so much as if the law had not been evaded. With a population wholly dependent on the home growth, corn must be at every bountiful harvest a complete drug. The farmers must sell to carry on their next year's work, and pay their liabilities. The moneyed men, who buy to store up corn, will only buy it after the price has fallen as low as possible. We are quite clear, therefore, that the evasion of the law, by introducing corn at a nominal duty has kept the population ahead of our own supply, and will ultimately be a great benefit to the corn growers. The Times is either the most ignoraut or the most impudent of journals. It asserted yesterday that the larger manufacturing communities enfran chised by the Reform Bill have never yet availed themselves of their electoral privileges in any way that could be the smallest advantage to their pecu liar interests. It refers for illustration "to such useless lumber as Mr. BUCKINGHAM, Mr. WARD, Mr. BROTHERTON, Mr. BAINES, Mr. MARK PHILLIrS, Mr. ATTWOOD, and Mr. MUNTZ. "On no one question," it says, " connect ed with British manufactures, have these men rendered the smallest conceivable service." " The pressure of the Cotton duty, the tariff of the Prussian League, and the competition of foreign fabrics are triumphing over British industry as in. juriuusly as ever." The Times makes these asser tions either in ignorance of the facts that Mr, BROTHERTON, Mr. BAINES, Mr. M. PHIL• LIPS, and Mr. WARD, have zealously ex erted themselves on every feasible occasion to get the Corn-law modified or repealed ;or it makes them knowing their incorrectness, which is as gross a piece of impudence as can be conceived. If the Times be not ignorant that the tariff of the Prussian League has a less injurious effect on British industry than the tariffs which before ex sted in Germany, to make it a reproach to these gentleman that they have done nothing to get it repealed, is another piece of impudence ; moreover, the Times must be extremely ignorant, or very im pudent, when it accuses these gentlemen of not getting that tariff lowered or altered, when its high rates were avowedly framed as a retaliation for our own Corn-laws. We have not the slightest wish to defend Shef field for choosing Mr. BUCKINGHAM and passing over Mr. BAILEY ; but Salford has obtained an honest and an excellent representative in Mr. BROTHERTON. Next to Lord ASHLEY, no man has done more for behoof of the factory chit- dren, with whose privations and sufferings he is well acquainted. .Mr. M. PHIL LIPS, too, is an appropriate representative for Manchester, which formerly gave him Lord Sy- DEN HAM for a colleague. In Mr. BAINES Leeds has a most zealous and useful representative, though he be not a chatterer like Mr. GLADSTONE, or a talking bore like Mr. HARDY. Mr. WA RD may have no personal connection with Sheffield, but no second-rate man commands more respect in the House than IVIr. WARD. The standards of excellent representatives for the Times are Sir JOHN BECKETT, Mr. HARDY, Mr. W.E. GLA D STONE, and Sir GEORGE MURRAY. With the exception of the last, to whose merits we are not blind, these gentlemen are in nowise superior to the present representatives for the manufacturing towns, whom the Times maligns. To be ignorant of their merits must arise from gross neglect ; 1 but to be aware of them, and yet so to abuse them, is studied impudence. The Times may choose which it likes ; but it trust admit either that it is consummately ignorant, or consummately impu , dent. h is with feelings of unfeigned sorrow that we this day announce the death of Lord HOLLAND— one of the sincerest and most enlightened friends of liberty that this country ever produced.

M. THIERS' note of the Bth of July is the sub ject of general discussion in the Paris Journals of Tuesday. The Constitutionnel has a long article upon it, which, proceeding from the pen of the Pre sident of the Council, or some person enjoying his entire confidence, is well worthy of most earnest attention. We propose quoting the whole of it. The first part shows the actual position of the Minister with regard to France when the treaty of the 15th of :July was signed. We place it first before our readers : " There is, in France, a party which desires war at any price, whether the moment have arrived or not— whether the means of supporting the war be ready or not—whether there be sufficient reason for declining it, or whether the interests and honour of the nation, being satisfied, leave no fair pretext for entering upon it. All are alike to this party. Its aim is war ; war not for national advantage, but to change the dynasty and the Government. It looks upon war merely as the means of internal revolution. Such a party as this, Government can hope neither to convince nor to satisfy. " On another side stand not a party, but a group of people, who are also for war at any price—that is, a war against the present Cabinet, which they accuse of being absurdly warlike whenever it shows firmness, and of being pusillanimously pacific when it acts with pru dence. Whatever Ministers do, these people find it wrong. We need not reply to such systematic op- ponents. " But we address impartial men, whether favouring the Cabinet or not, men who desire war merely for the sake of preserving intact the honour and interests of France. Let these men reply to the following argu- meats : " A treaty was signed which left France out of the settlement of the Eastern question—should war have been declared on this account immediately ? " We reply, that to have declared merely on account of the Treaty being signed, would have been criminal and mad, just because the military state of the country was not such as could meet or carry on war ; secondly, because the Treaty was an act of which, the conse quences alone possible, but not certain, might have been a serious motive for war. In presence of such cen tualities' what could h ave b ee n done, but arm —arm, with indefatigable activity ? " Can the Government be censured for any remis net.s in this respect ? Has it lost time ? It armed, and its duty was to do no more." Here are two war factions described, bellowing, open-mouthed, against a pacific policy. The one aiming at revolution and anarchy ; the other look ing only to the overthrow of Ministers. Actuated by a thirst of vengeance and of blood on the one side, and by the hunger of place and of power on the other, we need not be surprised that the two factions contrived that all France should resound with the din of war, and that for a time the voice of reason should be drowned in the ferocious hub bub of place-hunters and. anarchists. We can ap preciate the difficult position of the Minister sur rounded by such elements of strife, while admitting that he had himself to blame for it. The picture is so strongly drawn, that we feel no inclination to attempt heightening its impression by a single touch. The second part of the article is more im portant as regards the final adjustment of the ques- Lion. Take the following extract : " But what were those consequences which were to necessitate war? Government could not declare what they were. The Powers did not declare what were their means of execution ; neither could France declare how much it would tolerate. " In the mean time certain points of the coast of uncle, CHARLES JAMES Fox, in whose footsteps Syria were occupied, and the deposition of the Viceroy he trod throughout his long and highly honourable was declared. To have replied immediately to the attack upon some of the maritime points of Syria would have political career, his Lordship was of course a staunch been lbsurd. Either war should have been declared Whig ; but never did any man display less of the against the Treaty itself, or, if not then declared, it could purblind, o acrimonious spirit of party than he did. lion of that be undertaken 'treaty.ertiikcno n account of the first act in execu- As to the deposition, that was quite He was a Reformer of the most comprehensive ano th er thing.

This alone is left iti doubt, There is one point which , is no longer doubtful, vii., the ex istence of the Viceroy. This was the essential point this is what France secures, or, at least, what she places under the guarantee of peace or war. Is it true that France has only stipulated a condition which was generally agreed to ? It is a great mis take to suppose that it has been acceded to. We declare to those who desire war a tout prix, that, unfortunately this declaration of France, which they regard as so incontestible, and uncontested by the Powers, may give rise to a difference fatal to the peace of the world. To please them, indeed, and in duce them to forgive the Government, a collision must be inevitable. This cruel certainty does not exist ; but collision is possible, and it is sufficient for our argument for this collision to be possible, to show the merit of the formal declaration by which the Go vernment has braved this terrible eventuality. For after ail, France, whatever may be said to the contrary, is alone opposed to all Europe ; but that is no reason why she should be weak ; neither, on the other hand, is it a reason why she should go mad. This is certainly tearing to pieces the Treaty of London ; but we do not believe that M. THIERS ever meant that the Allies should regard such lan guage as serious. M. THIERS is not such a fool, nor is France so mad, as seriously to think a war possible on the question of a division of Syria. This would be, indeed, a realization of the fable of the Wolf and the Lamb. Tax FRENCH NAVY.—The Commerce contains a letter from Toulon, announcing that the effective force of the French Levant fleet, commanded by Admiral Duperre, would be 15 sail of the line, 4 frigates, 6 light vessels, and 2 steamers. " This force;" says the writer, " will be sufficient to balance that of the Eng lish until their junction with the Russians. The squad ron ef reserve, which is to cruize between Toulon and Algiers, will consist in the course of a month of 19 sail—viz. the Souverain and the Ville de Marseilles, ships of the line, now at Toulon ; the Inflexible, the Friedland, and the Jemmapes, which were expected from the Atlantic ports ; of 6 frigates, 6 light vessels, and 2 steamers. With this," adds the Commerce, "we shall be able, in case of need, to sink the English divi sions which may be sent to join the Levant squadron, and, if it does not arrive too late, to stop the passage of the Russian fleet. The naval forces assembled in the Mediterranean, will soon amount to 68 ships of the line, and 209 frigates, corvettes, brigs, and war steamers —viz. French, 30 sail of the line, 10 frigates, and 90 light vessels ; English, 16 ships, 4 frigates, and 20 other vessels ; Russian, 10 ships, and 11 frigates, cor vettes, and brigs ; Austrian, 2 frigates and 5 other ves sels ; Egyptian, 17 ships, and 40 other vessels ; Turkish, 3 ships and 10 frigates, corvettes, and brigs ; Ameri can, 1 ship, 1 frigate, and 1 corvette." THE WAR MANIA.—A reform dinner, at which 1,500 persons were present, was given to M. Arago at Marseilles on the 11th inst. The toasts drank on this occasion included ore, " A la propagande !" and the proposer of it, in a speech urging the spread of propa gandism in Germany and Italy, concluded by calling out " La guerre ! la Guerre !" This raised loud shouts from the guests of " La guerre! la guerre !" M. Arago afterwards made a speech in favour of electoral reform. On returning to his hotel a crowd accompa nied him, and remained before his windows till a late hour, singing the " Marseillaise," the " Chant du De part," &c. FORTIFICATION OF PARIS.—The Moniteur an nounces that the laying out of the works of defence around Paris was proceeding with activity on both sides of the river. The Government was engaged at. the same time in preparing the materiel necessary for their arma ment, and had ordered magazines to be forthwith con structed to store the artillery and other military imple ments destined for that object. OPENING OF THE CHAMBERS.—The Temps states that the opening of the Chambers will be prorogued to the 15th of November. STRASBURG RHILWAY.—The Moniteur publishes Royal Ordinance, sanctioning sin arrangement entered into on the 12th inst., between the Minister of Public Works and the company of the Strasburg and Basle Railroad, in virtue of the law of the 15th of July, 1840, which authorised the State to lend to that company a sum of 12,600,000 f.

From a Second Edition of the Morning Post.) N.--- At a late hour in Paris on Tuesday afternoon it was rtinioured that ti Queen Regent in attempting to de part from Valencia had bees; arrested. We are enabled to give a positive contradiction ia this report. The Queen has arrived safely in France, at Port Vendres, and was at Perpignan. It was also reported that the draught of the speech from the Throne was couched in such strong lan- , guage that the King of the French had refused to sanction it. It ',as added, therefore, that a Minis terial crisis was probable before the meeting of the Chambers. Our Correspondent, on the other hand, expresses confidentially the opinion that the King would most certainly take no steps to break up the Cabinet himself, but would leave that task to the deci sion of the Deputies. It is now ascertained that the list of a new Ministry, composed of the Doctrinaires, the "221," and members of the ex-Soult Cabinet, is in readiness, should the emergency arrive. PREPARATIONS FOR WAR. The War-office has issued orders for preparing 4,800 sets: of harness and 600 saddles for the waggon train. At Calais the forts are being mounted with can non ; several pieces have been placed on the Fort Rouge, and a battery is about to raised near Fort de Milan, as well as other points of the coast. Important works have already been begun at Fort Nieully and other land fortifications. About 80,000 f. have been allowed for their expenses. The islands of St. Marcouf, off the coast of the Manche, are having their defensive works mounted with cannon, and have been garrisoned by a detachment of infantry from Cherbourg. DIVISIONS IN THE BRITISH AND FRENCH CAM NETS.-Our London Correspondent infotms us, that the fact of a decided difference having arisen among the members of the British Babinet on the Eastern Ques tion is positive. The Freneh Cabinet is in a similar condition, there being two distinct opinions existing among its members.—Galignani. (From our Correspondent.) PARIS, TUESDAY, OCT. 20.-1 have been informed this afternoon of a curious circumstance, of the authenticity of which I entertain no doubt. It may be remembered that, some days since, a strong article directed against Louis Philippe appeared in the Courrier Francaise. By some means the original manuscript has been found and the corrections thereon have been ascertained to be in the hand-writing of M. Thiers. The document has been shown to Louis Philippe who thus holds the proofs of the treachery of his Minister. It may be guessed what effect this little incident is likely to produce. The Conservatives are in high spirits at the discovery. A Deputy, who was condoling with the Queen on the late desperate attempt of Dranaes, received for reply from her Majesty, "La Presse a fait tout ;" to which the Deputy rejoined, " Oui I la Presse impunie."

The following extract from the Supplement to the Madrid Gazelle of that day contains the latest news from the Spanish capital : " Through a private letter the Provisional Junta o f Madrid has just learnt that Ministers arrived in Valen cia on the Bth instant, were presented the same night at 11 o'clock to the Queen, and took possession of their offices on the 9th, in consequence of which the subjoined decree published in the Bulletin of the pro vince, and which has reached the Junta, was issued by her Majesty. As Queen Regent and Governor of the kingdom during the minority of my august daughter, Isabel the S:cond, I ordain that Don Joaquin Maria Ferrer, Vice-President of the Council of Ministers, take charge of the duties of Minister of Finance till the arrival of Don Augustin Fernandez de Gamboa, appointed to that office.' _ _ . This Junta, notwithstanding, shall continue sitting as heretofore, and without laying down their arms, until they 5,C2C the wishes of the nation fully satisfied, of which the Junta informs the public, and until an express expected by them with official communications shall have been received." LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.) Roy Alt ). is at a very low ebb in Spain. France has only to send another Army of the Faith across the Pp enees to raise the Republican banner in the Peninsula. The Five per Cents. were on the 18th at 25 3-1.6th3 for cash. The Proprietors of Waterloo-bridge would act a wise part by listening to the advice of a brother Share holder, contained in an address published in another part of The Sun. We have repeatedly given them the smne advice. Yet, while their property is declining in value, with an increased population, and while the high toll has also lessened the value of houses on the Surrey side, they absurdly persevere in a system which instead of bettering their condition renders it every clay worse. By lowering the horse toll, the receipts have increased, yet they refuse to make the same reduc tion for foot passengers, when reason and experience prove that it would have a similar result. What but low fares has made river steam-boats and omnibuses succeed ? We see no other remedy for the deplorable state of their finances. If they expect either Parlia ment or the public to purchase the bridge, they may expect till Doomsday. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NE WS CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY COLONIAL MARKET. --- In produce there was little doue by private treaty, and the public sales were of little moment. Prices were firm for all articles. The imports were light. TEA MARKET. The Trade were not so anxious to purchase as during last week, and the market was rather quiet, still the late advanced prices were maintained with firmness, and tcw parcels were offered. TALLOW MARKET. The demand for Russia Tallow was dnll, and this could only be forced at Town prices; the principal holders, however, did not seem anxious to realize, and the few par cels disposed of produced former rates. WHITECHAPEL HAY MARKET. The supply at market was good, the demand fair, Clover from 41. to 61. ; Meadow Hay 3/. to 5/. ; Straw 11. Hs. to 1/. 145. VIENNA, OCT. 12.—Within these few days there have been several conferences, supposed to relate to the new difficulties of the Oriental question. Count Kolweat is again at Vienna. There is some talk of a European Congress to be held shortly, some say at Wies baden or Carlsruhe. it was reported to-day that the French Government had resolved to convoke the Cham bers. Though many persons considered this resolution as affording hopes of the continuance of peace, because they took it for grated that the voice of the rich middle classes, who are sufficiently represented in them, would throw a greats weight into the scale of peace, the funds fell so much that Bank shares for instance might have been purchased towards the end of the day at 1490.
