' \ DISTURBED STATE OF THE FRENCH OPERATIVES. (From Galignaui's .31essenc.r of Thursday.) The continued meetings of workmen in and around the metropolis begin to assume a character which requires the prompt and effectual interference of the executive to repress them. Yesterday several meetings were held on the plains of Saint Denis, Aubervilliers, Bondi, and Pantin. The authorities sent out a consi- derable oody of police, and as the people would not disperse on the regular summonses being read, many were taken into custody. In the evening between 300 and 400 were conducted to the Prefecture of Police, under a strong escort of horse and foot municipal guards. Duriag the morning the men employed in the cotton manufactories had struck, although they had for a long time had plenty of employment at good wages. An assemblage of between 500 and 600 entered the mills in the rues de la Ro quette, Charonne, and Piepus, and seduced or forced away all the workmen. A commissary of police, on being made acquainted with what had taken place, went out to meet them with a detachment of municipal guards, but on his approach they retired. It appears that the vidahgeurs of Montfaucon had also been forced to join the strike. Yasterdl afternoon there was also an assemblage of journeymen bakers, and some symp toms of a strike. The workmen disclaim all political objects whatever, and confine their demands to an in crease of pay to those who work by the piece, with a reduction of hours for those who are engaged by the day. It is not without painful feelings that the Govern ment sees the sad attitude assumed by certain classes of workmen, who are acting under evil councils as to their duties and their real interests. With a view to put an end to sufferings, which arc evidently too highly coloured, the workmen of several branches have, for some time, shown demonstrations which have a tendency directly opposed to the object which they have in view. It is not by creating alarm in the capital, and to trade, which, living as it does upon public confidence, easily takes alarm, that new markets will be created for labour, wages be raised, and prompt satisfaction be obtained for the va rious interests which put forward their claims. The work men will not easily succeed in making it be believed that they are so distressed, when they are seen assem bled in tumultuous meetings, and forcibly entering workshops for the purpose of compelling others of their fellow-workmen who are satisfied with their posi tion to join them. Such proceedings are not calculated to excite sympathy. The Government did not wait for these symptoms of emotion to take into considera tion the condition of the workmen, and if it now regrets the false direct on which interested classes give to their claims, it is chiefly because what is good in their inti- n ttons may be paralysed by improper conduct, and by the unfortunate intervention which political passions are perhaps too ready to attempt. If the workmen will listen to our advice, they will abstain from assemblages and menacing procession& which are disapproved of by all good citizens, and which cannot any longer be tolerate]. More pacific and at least equally efficacious means are at their disposal, for setting forth their de mand to the Government, and, in the event of their be ing well-founded, they will always be received with in terest if presented in a proper form. The Constitutionnel has an article rather more diffuse than that of the Messagcr, but so much in the same spirit, that it is unnecessary to give an extract. This journal observes, that the workmen have taken advan tage of the moment at which their services were most required, there being a general demand for hands, to put forward their claims. The Debats, alluding to the article of the National on the reform dinner, says : " The National considers it a calumny on the Radi cals to say that they shouted Vive le Roil 'We pass over the sadly insulting expressions of its article, but we cannot hut express our astonishment that there should be a political party which puts itself so much out of the constitution as to consider that it is outraged by its being believed for twenty-four hours that it cried Vive le Roi ! What a singular susceptibility ! The word reform, when it is uttered by the Radicals, signifies only revolution, re volution with violence and armed force. The words pro gress, equality, fraternity, and humanity, arc rejected by sensible people when they are used in Radical Journals, or in the harangues of a banquet, and the shops are closed when these words are heard in the streets. This party avows that it understands only one way of reforming society—making of it a table rase. The principle of the Radicals is war, war on all points, constant war—not Reform. Is not their protest against royalty a protest against the Chambers, against Govern ment, against laws, property, trade, commerce, in short against all existing institutions ? Without doubt the existing state of things may not be the beau ideal of perfection. Under al! governments there will be Re formers ; in every political and social body there will be a progressing party ; but we reform only what we have at heart to maintain. The progressing portion of society can only act by resting upon something that is fixed and stable. Those who do not acknowledge this eternal law, will neither discuss nor reform—their only object is war upon society at large." We copy with pleasure the following article from the Courtier Francais. The sentiments are the more gene rous and the more honourable to the writer, as he has been one of the most ardent adversaries of the policy of the British Cabinet on the question of the East, and one of the most energetic in demanding an abandonment of that policy, as being indicative of an unfriendly feeling towards France. We arc happy, however, in being able to state from an authentic source, that the cry of " Death to the English," which the Cour rier reprobates in such strong and proper language, was only uttered by a few drunken men, and that it was speedily put down by the indignation of the persons who heard it as the proetasion passed. This information hag, we believe, been also communicated to the courtier Francais, which will, without doubt, notice it in the next number of the journal. Deeply as it is to be regretted that men even under the influence of drunkenness should give expres sion to such savage sentiments,it is more than an atone ment to see them thus indignantly reprobated by one of the most icfluential organs of the daily press : " The National contradicts a journal which had stated that the Radicals, on their return from the ban quet of Chatillon, mingled with their singing of the Marsellaise the cry of Vive le Roi. We wish the National could give a contradiction to a report. which has reached us from various quarters, that the Radicals joined with the Marsellaise the savage cry of Death to the English. If such a cry was uttered, we do not hesitate to say that it was an outrage upon public tran quilly, and merits the indignation of every honest mind. Since the year 1830, the French who have visited England, or chosen it for an asylum, have always found there a courteous hospitality. At the Coronation of Queen Victoria, Marshal Soult was conducted in triumph through Great Britain in honour of the French nation, the English taking pleasure in personifying an allied nation in the man who is, perhaps, the most bril liant living expression of its glory ; and more recently M. Guizot was received at Ramsgate with an enthu _ siasm which cannot be described. Shall we re- ply to such demonstrations by public insults to the English name, as if politics were only a vocabulary of insults, and as if murderous cries in the public streets were a noble revenge for the treaty of the 15th of July ! The English Government has separated it self from France ; must we make English citizens re sponsible for this faithless conduct ? This would be the more unjust, as the most enlightened persons in Eng land, as well as the laborious classes of the population, mress the strongest sympathy for the alliance with France, and the mos% sincere desire for peace. The Morning Post, for the purpose apparently of alarming the English, pretended lately that an Englishman could not appear in the streets of Paris without being in sulted. What will the Tory Journal say, on learning that the insult was addressed at the close of a Radical meeting, not to a few individuals, but to the nation ? The heroes of Homer provoked each other by insults before they came to blows ; but in the present age only the lazzaroni raise their courage in this way. Civiliza tion requires that an enemy should be fought without inAilting him. We might permit a French regiment, under the fire of an English battery, to cry Death to the English but a cry of this kind in the streets of Paris, whilst the two nations are at peace, is almost as ridicu lous as it is barbarous." NEWS FROM EGYPT. (From the Semaphore de Marseilles ) i ALEXANDRIA, Ace. 17.—1 wrote to you yesterday by the Levant steamer, a very long letter, in which I recounted the events now passing in our city. I ac quainted you with the manner in which the Pacha re ceived the alleged Envoy of the Porte, Rifat Bey, who is in reality the Envoy of tne Four Powers coalesced against us. The Viceroy replied that he would hasten to forward to the Sultan a lett, r in reply to the one he had received from him, and then added, that he was de termined to reject all propositions of adj•istment, be-' cause they were inspired by the interested hatred which Russia and England nurtured against him. This communication was tm.de to Mehemet Ali in the feel owing manner : The Consuls representing England, Russia, Austria, and Prussia, attired in their richest costumes and pre ceded and followed by a numerous cortege, waited on the Pacha to apprise him of the wishes o (their respec tive Courts. The latter, they said, enjoined them to demand the immediate submission of the Pacha to the order of his Sovereign the Sultan. Th klow is d the speech :—" Your Highne ss is a ing llo we s ubstance of their eleven days to consider whether it behoves you or not to accept Egypt and the PachaliP pf St. Jean d'Acre, the former as an hereditary possession, and the latter merely for life. If, 4fter that period, you do not make known your decision, eleven days more shall be allowed to you to return an answer respecting Egypt, the Pa chalic b;i l )e P ol e ' r A te c . re being Thus placed at t havethe dtiespeoesaulsiodte'rthieu Sthue second period of eleven days, whether you wish , or not to remain P 4,44 of Egypt. If yo u come to no I decision before the expiration "of :hie, delay, the Powers, . parties to the treaty, will take such Daeasurcz al-, wiil 1 secure the full rights of the Sultan." THE StiNk LONDON. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1840. It appears that these haughty diplomatists did not notify to the Pacha the means they intend to employ to obta.n his acquiesenec. Mehemet Ali said that he would forward his reply to the Sultan ; and th,t he would likewise reply to them if they committed their note to writing. The Pacha then added, with a tone of great energy, that his resolutions were irrevocable. " I am weak and little," said he in conclusion, " but God, who is all powerful, extends his protection equally to the weak and little, and 'I have faith in his justice." You can form no idea of all the secret and overt in trigues to which the Russian and English Consuls have recourse, and of their animosity against the Pacha. They are now endeavouring to seduce by bribes y the entire of the Turkish squadron. To-day upwards of twenty officers and soldiers left one of their ships and were received on board an English vessel. The Pacha immediately ordered the ship to be surrounded by eight armed boats, who had orders to keep a close watch upon her. Money continues to be distributed with profusion by the Russian and English Consuls, but in Alexandria intrigue has not the same chance of suc cess as in Syria. The English ship of war is still lying at anchor out of the roads ; and we have as yet seen no appearance of the British squadron with which we have been so long menaced. Syria enjoys perfect tranquillity. The 46 Emirs who had fomented the revolt have just arrived in Alexandria, and are to proceed to Sennaar, where they are to employed on the staff of Achmet The Constitutionnel publishes a letter from Alexan dria, dated the 18th ult., which states that Mehemet Ali had declared to the Consuls that he was determined not to accept any treaty which would deprive him of an inch of ground, and adds— • " Count Medem, the Russian Consul-General, having remarked to him that he was exposing himself to great danger by contending against such formidable adversaries : 6 Many thanks for your anxiety for me,' replied the Pacha smilling, • but rest assured that before I fall more than one great Power will be more embarrassed than me; Be sides,' said he, I knew your mission beforehand, all discussion is therefore useless, my determination is irre vocably taken. You have not, however, received arms to make war against me, your only weapon is your pen ; write to me, and I shall reply to it." Very well,' re plied the Consuls, and they took leave, saying that they would return either collectively or individually. You will be always Welcome,' replied the Viceroy, iro nically." Another letter, of the 17th ale., from the Courrier de Lyons, says,—This morning 27 officers and soldiers of the Turkish fleet made their escape and took refuge on board an English collier. The Pacha immediately had the vessel surrounded and watched by eight armed boats. The English and Russian Consuls distri buted money with open hands, and promise re wards to all who are willing to return to Con stantinople, and much more to those who enter into conspiracies against the Pacha. All the beads of English commercial houses have signified their inten tion of placing themselves under the protection of Mehemet AU, and some of the most considerable have acted upon this resolution. At the same time, the body of English merchants have sent a protest to Lord Palmerston against the conduct of the English Govern ment towards them.' A Correspondent writes on the 4th tilt., from Bessel yczew, in the Ukraine :—" The fair of St. Onoufre, which lasts four weeks, has this year been numerously attended. The Tartars, Cossacks, and Kabardians, brought in 30,000 wild horses. It also collected 10,000 horses of the finest breeds, 50,000 oxen, cows, bulls, steers, and heifers, 100,000 sheep, and 10,000 swine. Races were run every morning. A Circassian horse, ridden by the owner, gained a prize of 25,000 rubles. Two horses from Kashgn, in Tartary, were the next in success. A Circassian horse, however, gained a race extending to the length of six French leagues, winning a stake of 500 ducats, and all the twelve horses which ran against him, each of which was worth 1,000 rubles." ALEXANDRIA, AUG. 18.—" Rifat Bey presented to the Viceroy on the 16th inst. the Treaty of the Quadruple Alliance. Mehemet Ali replied, with firm ness and resolution, that he was decided on not accept ing it. 'lt is with the sabre that I have conquered the provinces which I govern, and I wish a good diges tion to whomsoever shall attempt to take them from me by the sabre. But are you not ashamed, Conttanti nopolitans, of permitting foreigners, Christians, to in vade your provinces? . What good can the empire de rive in seeking, by such odious means,.the annihilation of the sole nucleus of force which constitutes its na tionality ? May Allah curse all the Ministers of the Porte who are so blind as not to see that they are pro moting the ruin of Islamism ! But depend upon it, you will not humiliate Mehemet Ali : he is inflexible in his resolutions. Hehas sworn by the terrible oath of the Mus sulmans to conquer or die for the defence of Islam ism, and even for the support of the Sultan, even in spite of himself. Should I fall: continued he with energy, ► depend upon it my defeat shall be dearly pur chased. I shall continue on the defensive tilt further events. If attacked, I will repel force by force ; however, reserve to myself the faculty of acting ac cording to circumstances, should any attempt be made on my authority, either by open or secret attacks.' " Rfat Bey, who little expected such energe tic re sistance on the part of the Viceroy, felt rather awk ward during this conference. Instead of commencing by giving Mehemet Ali the Vizier's letter, he remitted it ; but as he went away, stammered out, • I have also a letter for 3 our Highness from the Sublime Porte.' " Fifty-seven chiefs of the Druses arrived here a few days ago ; they are to be sent to Sennaar as aides-dc camp to Achmet Pacha. Emir Haidar , the most In fluential chief of Lebanon, with the exception of Emir Beschir, to whom Lord Palmerston has promised the title of • Head of the Mountain,' has seat is his sub- mission." SWITZERLAND. FIFTH LETTER FROM A MEMBER OF THE ANTI CORN LAW LEAGUE ON THE CON TINENT. ZURICH.— The disciples of Adam Smith must visit this country to witness the practical application of tire views contained in the Wealth of Nations. The Swiss are the only people who have consistently adhered to the principle of free trade ; and their prosperous condi tion affords the best possible argument in favour of unshackled commerce, and against the English Corn law. Let a traveller enter the Swiss territory from any side, whether from France, Italy, or Germany, and he will have no sooner crossed the frontier than he will perceive a striking improvement in the condition of everything around him. Having myself passed into Switzerland from France at two different points, as wall as front Italy, Austria, and Bavaria at various times, having again and again travelled from one end of the country to the other, and having had the advantage of visiting in Swiss families, and of being accompanied in my excursions by intelligent natives, 1 speak after the best possible opportunities of obser vation and experience. The traveller here finds his horses harnessed with blackened leather ornamented with polished brass, in place of the ropes and rusty irons left on the other side of the frontier, he feels the improvement i❑ the roads as he glides along them, he remarks the substantial farm-buildings, and is struck with the cleanliness, activity, and prosperous appear ance of the towns, and, entering the hotels, he finds them incomparably superior to any others on the Con tinent. So much for the surface. If he prosecutes his inquiries a little deeper, he secs education more widely diffused than in any of the surrounding countries, and lie is surprised to find himself in the midst of one of the richest and most enterprising, as well as the most intelligent people of Europe. We arc apt to associate this country with ideas of poverty and privation. This naturally arises from our minds being impressed from infancy with thoughts of Alpine rocks and snows. Switzerland is indeed natu rally a poor country, but the energies of its inhabitants have made it one of the richest in Europe. I should say that there is no other nation of similar extent, excepting Holland, that can be compared with it for wealth. Geneva and Basle are the most opulent towns of their size in the world, and their bankers exercise an important influence in the Money Markets of Paris and London. It is well known that the French manu facturing establishments of Mulhausen and the neigh• bourhoud are carried on with the aid of the capitalis . s of Basle. Then there are the manufacturers, spinners, and calico printers of Glarus, Appenzell, St. Gall, Zu rich, &c., who furnish the markets of North and South America, and the Levant, with their commodities, con signing a great portion of their productions to their own agents in those countries. The city from which I am writing affords a most striking example of the progress that is m,king in this country. Since I was last here, three years ago, a new quarter has sprung up, COD tainitig the largest hotel in the country, and a new post-office, which for magnitude and elegance, has no equal in England, excepting in London and Liverpool. To make room for the growth of the town, the fortifi cations have been levelled, and on the site of a part of these a botanical garden has been laid out, to which all classes have access at all hours every day of the week —and this, mark, in a suburb of a purely manufacturing and commercial town ! In looking down yesterday upon Zurich from a celebrated point of view about two miles from the sloping mountain at the back of the town, I was amazed at the vast increase that had taken place since I first visited this spot. Not many years since the town appeared a condensed mass of houses at the extremity of the lake ; but now, villas, houses, cot tages, and manufactories are to be seen covering the landscape on each side of the water as far as the eye cart reach, and threatening, at some distant date, to Surround the lake in its entire length of pearly thirty miles with a manufacturing town ! In travelling through this country, one is struck with the variety of manufactures that are carried on, In dustry seems to thrive in proportion as it is unprotected. In coming to this place from Berne, I passed through Soleure, where the great meeting of amateur riflemen from all the cantons was being held. The prizes con tended for were valued at 3,000/. Every two years this federal shooting match takes place ; and I was glad that my good fortune gave me the opportunity of seeing such a gathering. The match lasted a week, during which upwards of 50,000 people visited Solcure. As a sample of the attendance, I may mention that 00 car riages went from Berne the first day. A large pavilion was erected, in which upwards of 3,000 persons sat down evrry day to dine. Tha sides were quite open, and there was only a rail breast high to protect the party from the crowd outside ; but there was no inter ruption or improper intrusior. After dinner, several speakers mounted a rostrum provided for the occasion, and addressed the party in French or German, exhort ing them to a patriotic and united love of their country. It ought to be added, in illustration of the character of the assembly, that, although a considerable portion of those present were of the working class, not a police officer or gendarme was required to ensure good order, nor did a case of drunkenness occur during the week. I have adduced the above proofs of the wealth and high morale of the Swiss, being very anxious, before touching upon the causes of so favourable a state of things, that your readers should have a just notion of the really rich, prosperous, and cultivated people that arc to be found in the midst of these rugged scenes. There is, indeed, no ether way tkan by these general statements of facts of furnishing a picture of the con dition of the country. There are no Government tables of exports and imports to refer to—no such ac counts are kept. To such an extent is the principle of tree trade carried out, that Switzerland is literally with out a custom-house. You may convey waggons loaded with foreign merchandize or foreign coin across the frontier and into any of the cantons, without an account being taken of their contents by a public officer. The first question that one naturally asks himself is— what is the cause of so much prosperity and happiness in a country so little favoured by nature ? The econo mical form of Government will first naturally suggest itself to our notice. It will suffice as an illustration of the advantages possessed by the Swiss in this particular, if I state that the salaries of all the Governors of the 22 cantons, containing two millions and a half of opu lent and educated peopla, amount to less than one-half the sum annually paid to the British Governor of the barren rock of Malta, for administering the affairs of a hundred and twenty thousand of the poorest and most illiterate beings on the face of the earth ! But it should, if possible, be universally known that the Swiss themselves attribute their prosperity to that perfect freedom of commerce which they have clung to, under every circumstance of trial and temptation, with a devotion almost fanatical. Theirs is not the mere freedom to exchange, under the provisions of a treaty or commerce, with this' or that nation. The Swiss have no commercial tr,aties ; their Government does not presume to interfere with the trade of a really tree peo ple in order to mould it according to the errors or whims of other nations. Each individual is left to make his own commercial treaty. Every man is in the full enjoyment of his natural right to dispose of the fruits of his labour in whatever way he pleases. But no man or class of men claim more than this natural right. There is not a body of landowners here, as in England, arro gating the privilege of forcing the rest of the commu nity to buy and sell only in such a manner as shall suit their exclusive intere,ts. Yet, if there be a country on the face of the earth that requires protection, Switzer land, owing to its great disadvantages of climate, soil, and situation, is that country. The distance of the nearest seaport from this centre of Swiss manufactures is between two and three hundred mi►es, from which the raw materials, such as cotton, silk, drugs, &c., have to be conveyed by land carriage frequently to places upwards of two thousand feet above the level of the sea, where they are manufactured and sent abroad again to compete with Manchester and Glasgow fabrics. Not only the materials but the food required for the subsistence of the manufacturer is the produce of fo reign countries ; and even, the iron and coal used here is brought from abroad. It would, in fact, be impossible to poiut out a single ❑atural advantage possessed by the Swiss, and yet, without ever having been indebted to legislative aid of any kind, they have entered into suc cessful rivalry with the manufacturers of other coun tries favoured by nature, and backed by the so called protection of powerful governments !—Anti•Corn-lart, Circular. TO THE LORD BISHOP of LONDON. A few words more, my dear Lord, before we part, after a controversy of four years : In reading your speech, I was a good deal amused by your characteristic indignation at the idea of any man, or any body of men, being competent to offer you ad vice ; at the same time I have a sort of indistinct re collection of your name, as defendant in courts of jus tice, where it appeared, not only to the Judges who de cided against you, but to your best friends also, that you would have made rather a better figure if you had begged a few contributions of wisdom and temper from those who had any to spare ; till these cases are erased from our legal reports, it would perhaps be expedient to admit for yourself a small degree of fallibility, and to leave the claim of absolute wisdom to- Alderman Wood. You say that you always consult your Archdeacon and Rural Dean ; this I believe to be quite true—but then you generally consult them after the error, and not before. Immediately after this aspernation of human counsel, I came to the following sentence—such a sentence as I believe mortal and mitred man never spoke before, and the author of which, as it seems to me, should be loaded with four atmospheres of advice instead of one, and controlled regularly by that number of cathedral councils. In speaking of the 3,000 clergy men who have petitioned against the destruction of the Church, you say— •, I could easily get as many to petition upon any subject connected with the Church. The mode by which in the present case a great proportion of these signatures have been obtained, is as follows :—The Archdeacon, who has always great influence with the parochial clergy, and justly so, as visiting them every year, and as being in habits of more familiar intercourse with them than their Bishop, and who is moreover considered by them as acting, in some degree, with the sanction of the Bishop, circulates printed forms of pe tition against the Bill amongst the Rural Deans ; the Rural Dean goes with them to the parochial clergy ; and he must be a bold or a very well-informed man who refuses to sign a petition so recommended by his imme diate ecclesiastical superiors."—Pp. 6 and 7. Now, I am afraid you will be very angry with me, • but for the life of me I cannot discover in this part of your speech any of those marks of unerring and unas sistable wisdom—that perfect uselessness of coun sellors to the Bishop of London, of which you seem to be so intimately convinced ; and this, remember, is not a lapse to be forgiven in the fervour of speaking, but a cold printed insult for what is the plain English of the passage ? " Archdeacons and Rural Deans are a set of base and time-serving instruments, wham their superiors can set on for any purpose to abuse their power and influence over the lower clergy, and the lower •ler g y themselves are either in such a state of intellec tual destitution that they cannot comprehend what they sign, or they are so miserably enthralled by their eccle siastical superiors that they dare not dissent. I could put this depraved machinery in action for any Church purpose I wished to carry." If Lord Melbourne, in the exercise of his caprice, had offered me a Bishopric, and Iliad been fool enough to have accepted it, this insult upon the whole body of the parochial clergy should not have been passed over with the silent impunity with which it was received in the House of Lords. You call me in the speech your facetious friend, and I hasten with gratitude in this letter to denominate you my solemn friend ; but you and I must not run into com mon-place errors ; you must not think me necessarily foolish because I am facetious, nor will I consider you as necessarily wise because you are grave : but whether foolish or facetious, or what not, I admire and respect you too much not to deplore this passage in your speech ; and, in spite of all your horror of being coun selled by one of your own canons, I advise you man fully to publish another edition of your speech, and to expunge with the most ample apology this indecent aggression upon the venerable instructors of mankind. In our future attacks upon the Catholics let us wisely omit our customary sarcasms on their regard for oaths. The only persons who appear to me to understand the doctrine of oaths are the two honest Sheriffs whom Lord John put into prison for respecting them. In the eighth page of your speech you say— " I am continually brought into contact, in the dis charge of my official duties, with vast masses of my fellow-creatures, living without God in the world. I traverse the streets of this crowded city with deep and solemn thoughts of the spiritual conditioteof its inhabi tants. I pass the magnificent church which crowns the metropolis, and is consecrated to the noblest of objects. the glory of God, and I ask of myself, it what degree it answers that object. I see there a dean and three re sidentiaries, with incomes amounting in the aggregate to between 10,0001. and 12,0001. a year. I see, too, con sneered with the cathedral 29 clergymen, whose offices are all but sinecures, with an annual income of about 12,0001. at the present moment, and likely to be very much larger after the lapse of a few years. 1 proceed a mile or two to the E. and N.E., and find myself k the midst of an immense population in the most wretched state of destitution and neglect, artisans, mechanics, la bourers, beggars, thieves, to the number of at least 300,000." This stroll in the metropolis is extremely well cen t trived for your Lordship's speech ; but suppose, my dear Lord, that instead of going E. and N.E., you had turned about, crossed London-bridge, and, resolving to make your walk us impartial as possible, had proceeded in a S.W. direction, you would soon in that case have perceived a vast palace, containing, not a dean, three residentiaries, and 29 clergymen, but one attenuated 'Prelate with an income enjoyed by himself alone, amounting to 30,0001. per annum, twice as great as that of all these confiscated clergymen put together ; not one penny of it given up by Act of - Parliament during his life to that spiritual destitution which he so deeply deplores, and 1.5,000/. per annum secured to his successor : though all the duties of the office might be roost effectually performed for one-third of the salary. Having refreshed yourself, my dear Lord, by the contemplation of this beautiful and consistent scene, and recovered a little from those dreadful pictures of spiritual destitution which have been obtruded upon you by the sight of St. Paul's, you must continue our religious promenade to the banks of the Thames ; but, as the way is long, let us rest our selves for a few minutes in your palace in St. James's square, no scene certainly of carnal and secular desti tution. Having halted for a few minutes in this man sion of humility, we shall now be able to reach your second palace of Fulham, where I think your animal spirits will be restored, and the painful theme of spi ritual destitution be for the moment put to sleep. 20,000/. per annum to the present possessor, increasing in value every hour, not a shi ling legally given up during life to " the masses who are living without God," and 10,000/. per annum secured to the successor. I know that you are both of you generous and munifi cent men, but 2,000/. or 3,000/. subscribed, though much more observed, is much more economical also, than a fixed and legal diminution of an income, now out of all character and proportion, for those who feel the spiritual destitution so deeply. But these feel ings upon spiritual destitution, my Lord, are of the most singular description ; they seem to be under the most perfect control when Bishops are to be provided for, and of irresistible plenitude and power when pre bends are to be destroyed ; such charity is the charity of my poor dear friend, old Lady C—, who was so powerfully affected (she said) by my sermon, that she borrowed a sovereign of some gentleman in the pew, and put it in the plate. My Lord, you are a very able, honest, and good man, but I pray you, as one of your council, be a little more discreet. You have taught the enemies of the Church a fearful lesson, and they ire very good scholars. In the midst of your ecclesiastical elegies upon spiritual destitution, take care they do not turn upon you and say," We can place the Bench of Bishops in a position by which their usefulness will be materially increased, and 60,000/. per annum be saved for the spiritual desti tution of the Church." " But, my Lords, the Learned Counsel, and those who:n he represents, are grievously mistaken if they imagine that the calm, or rather lull, which Pow pre vails, will be of long continuance, if no efEctive mea sures are taken to remove or lessen the anomalies which our Bishops now present, and to make them really con ducive to the spiritual instruction of the people. The winds are chained fora season in their cavern ; but erelong they will burst forth with redoubled violence, and shipwreck perhaps the vessel of the Established Church. Bishops may repose a few years longer in their stalls, unshorn of a single item of dignity or revenue ; but by and by re form will come upon them as a strong man armed, and will take from them their armour wherein they trusted, and divide the spoils."—p. 15. Your foolish printer has injured the passage by print ing it " Deans and Chapters" instead of Bishops. It is very easy, my Lord, to swing about in the House of Lords, and to be brave five years after the time, and to point out to their Lordships the clear difference be tween moral and physical fear, and to be nodded to by the Duke of Wellington, but I am not to be paid by such coin. I believe that the old-fashioned orthodox, hand-shaking, bowel-disturbing passion of fear, had a good deal to do with the whole reform. You choose to forget it, but I remember the period when the Bishops never remained unpelted ; they were pelted going, coming, riding, walking, consecrating, and carousing ; the Archbishop of Canterbury, in the town of Canter bury, et the period of his visitation, was only saved from the mob by the dexterity of his coachman. If you were not frightened by all this, I was, and would have given half my preferment to save the rest ; but then I was not a Commissioner, and had no great in terests committed to my charge. If such had been my lot, I would have looked severely into my own soul- You have laid yourself open to some cruel replies and retorts in various parts of your pamphlet speech but the law is passed, and the subject is at an end. You are fast hastening on, with the a cclamations and gratitude of the Whigs, to Lambeth ; and I " I hastening, after a life of 70 years, with gout and asthma, to the grave. I am most sincere, therefore, when I say, that in the management of this business you have (in my opinion) made a very serious and fatal mistake : you have shaken the laws of property, and prepared the ruin of the Church bylowering the character of its mem bars, and encouraging the aggressions of its enemies. I That your error has been the error of an upright, zea lous, and honest man, I have not the most rcmoto doubt. I have fought you lustily for four years, but I admire your talents, and respect your character as sincerely as I lament the mistakes into which you have been hurried by the honest and beadlan e , , impetuosity of your nature. I remain, my Lord, Your obedient humble servant. SYDNEY SMITH. HAMBURGH MAIL. ST. PETERSBURG, AuG.22.—lt is positively affirmed that their Imperial Majesties, the Grand Duchess Olga, the Grand Duke Alexander, and hii bride, the Princess Mary of Hesse, will arrive at Zarskojeselo on the 9th of s la tember, where they will spend some weeks. On the 28th of September the august bride, accompanied by the Imperial family, will make her solemn entry into the capital. Great preparations are making here for the ceremony.

Once was at the King's late hunting party at the Gohrae. There, as we are told, the fowling-piece that was standing► near the King went off in consequence of the jolting of the 'ear.: tinge, and the ball passed within a few inches of the King's head. The second time was when the King was riding out. A large dog attacked the King ' s horse, which was frightened, and began to plunge and rear up. The King's good horsemanship and presence of mind, and the aide-de-camp's hastening to his assistance, pre vented a fatal accident. When such events fill the loyal Hanovei ians with apprehensions for their revered King, on the other hand we may hope that the skilful hand of Jaeger, who is positively expected here to-mor row, will complete the work of Giaet, and restore the sight of the Crown Prince. MEETING OF THE GUERNSEY TATES.-DISSENTERS' BILL. A meeting of the States took place on Friday last, in reference to the Dissenters' Bill. To men whose minds are not absolutely barred against conviction, the speech of the Attorney-General must have been more than sufficient ; the inferences he deduced from the enactments of the Council of Trent, and the English Marriage Act of 1775, were rigidly l og i ca l, an d prove d beyond all cavil and equivocation that marriage was and is a civil contract. However, he failed in securing a majority of votes, for he addressed an audience whose minds were imprisoned in a narrow prejudice—a preju dice arising from distorted, though we believe conscieu• tious, views of religion. At any rate, though defeated, the Attorney-General has the satisfaction of knowing that he has done his duty to his Queen, to her Govern ment, and to society—and, higher than all, that he has testified to the truth. An elevated moral courage is one of the brightest or namonts in the character of a public man, and that moral courage the first law officer of the Crown has displayed throughout the whole discussion of this 1311. In this respect we may apply to him the close of one of the noblest stanzas in Horace— " Nec sunlit aut ponit secures Arbitrio popularis rurm. Of the speeches of the Rev. Messrs. Guille and Do_ bree it is impossible but to speak in terms of the Sc. verest reprehension. Where was the Christian charity of the former of these gentlemen, when he blended to gether in one sweeping whirlwind of anathem a t h e Dissenter, the Romanist,the Infidel,and the Atheist's" Is there no piety, no virtue, no morality without th e pile of Church of Englandism ? To such intolerance we would apply the command of Christ, " Judge not lest, ye be judged." , Rev. Mr. Dobree denounced the letter of the Lords of the Council as " a mere mrsckery and an in suit ;" is this the fitting language of a Member of the States? Is this the courtesy due to the paternal Go vernment of the Crown ? Is this the gratitude which this highly-favoured ishir,d owes to th e G overnment of England ? Thank Heaven.t this was the sentiment of but one man—it met with no response from the States— the people disclaim all partic i p ation i n such intemp erate and unwarrantable denuncia tions.

THE PEOVER MURDER. _ - There is every reason for believing that the murderer of Mr. and Mrs. Cook, as we have before stated, is now in custody, having been apprehended in Cavan, a town in the north of Ireland. The facts that led to his apprehension are remarkably singular. It appears that amongst other articles found in the cottage after the murder was a piece of paper, upon which was sonic writing. This was, in due course, handed over to Mr. Roscoe, of Knutsford, the gentleman entrusted with the prosecution. On inspection it purported to be part of a character given by a gentleman resident at Ca van to a servant leaving his employ. This document was forwarded to the person whose signature it was supposed to bear, and in due course arrived at its destination, accompanied by the particulars of the dreadful murder committed at Fenster, and the fact of the paper itself having been found in the room in which the murder was committed. The letter was banded over to the Cavan police, and in less than two hours the party in whose favour it was given was taken into custody. Of course information of this circumstance was quickly forwarded to Mr. Roscoe, and no sooner was the fact known in Knutsford than every body recollecteda man llama Blakeley, in whose favour the character had been given. Last winter he went about the town selling oranges, and was by all looked upon as a decent well-behaved lad. It was his boast that he had a character that would carry him through the world. On the decline of the orange season he became a vendor of threads, tapes, small books, and such wares. This employment carried him on to the hay harvest, and in the month of July he obtained three days' work at haymaking on Mr. Ditchfield's farm, which surrounds the cottage in which Mr. and Mrs. Cook spent the last twelve years of their existence. Mr. Cook and Mr. Ditchfield were on terms of great intimacy, and one of Mr. Cook's bob bies was to walk about Mr. Ditebfield's farm, just to give an eye to the men, and see what was going on. He did so during the hay-making, and there is evidence to prove that Blakeley, while at work there, asked Samuel Ross, a lad in Mr. Ditchfield's employ, " Whe ther yonder old folks were rich ?" The latter told him he should think they were, as they never did "nothing." On leaving Mr. Ditebfield's employ Blakeley went to the harvest in Nottinghamshire. He again returned to Knutsford, went for a few days to Warrington and Prescot, and came back to Knutsford again on the afternoon of Sunday, the 23d ultimo, and the day prior to that upon which the murder was committed. He lodged at Teddy Riley's, an Irish lodging house, near the Bowling-green. He was known to be short of money, and had taken several of his meals at Riley's table in consequence of having no money to purchase food for himself. He was out all Mon day, and did not return, according to the account given to our informant by the lodging-house-keeper's wife, until between ten and twelve o clock at night after the murder had been committed. The door was unlocked, and on his entrance Mrs. Riley was sitting by the fire without a candle. She said, "Is that you, Blakeley ?" He replied, " Yes." She asked, " How came you t 3 be so late ?" " I have had to walk six or seven miles ; I got half a day's work at Goosetrey," was his reply. She told him to light a candle ; he declined, and went to bed without one. Before he retired she asked him if he was going back in the morning. He said, "No ; they had no more work." On Tuesday morning she was up between four and five o'clock, and was in the act of blowing the fire to get the breakfast ready for her hus band, when Blakeley came down stairs dressed and ready to go out. He handed her a shilling, saying, " Maybe you may want this shilling." She told him that she certainly wanted money, but if be was out of work he need not give it. He said he had a little more money, and said that she need not expect him, as in the event of his not getting work he should travel on ward as far as Manchester. He never returned, and was apprehended at Cavan on the following Friday. Mr. Harper, the Deputy High Constable of the county, and Mr. Burgess, jun., the son of the Governor of the Knutsford Gaol, have been despatched to Ire land, and are shortly expected in Knutsford with their prisoner. The parties in custody on Monday have been dis charged. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. WARWICK RACES.-THURSDAY. 1001. the gift of Lord George Bentinck and W.

( FROM THE DAILY PAPER 9 OF ES TEItDA Y. ) (From the Globe.) The Journal des Debals answers our recent rernarki on the inconsistency of its sudden turn in favour of the Tory , party in this country. It h as a/wass expressed . • for Its autniration tne talents, and sympathy for the poli tical conduct, of Sir Robert Peel. Whether our Paris Contemporary is consistent or inconsistent with its For tner self, can matter very little to English readers. We gave ourselves no trouble to demonstrate that incon sistency. The only inconsistency which has any interest for us or our readers, is that which the Debats shares with Sir Robert Peel nm self, and the rest of those whom it first terms the moderate fraction of the Conservative party, and th (forgetting they are a fraction) talks of us though they' formed the whole party. The Debats quotes the linti tations (which Sir Robert Peel laid down some time back) to the party warfare of an opposition conducted on Conservative principles. If the Tory party had ever dreamed of observing those limitattons—it their leader even had not followed his party in disregardinst them—those fair words of Sir Robert, Peel would have been what the Debats fancies them, a full vindication of " moderate" Tory opposition, and a fair claim on Whig gratitude. But when have "fair words" bent held an equivalent for "buttered parsnips?" Many po litical parsnips, indeed, has Sir Robert Peel buttered at this rive! There is nothing which he studies more skilfully (and a grand weapon of debate it than the art of placing his line of conduct, and that which he chalks out for his party, in advantageous contrast with that attributed by him to his opponents. But the whole legitimate and permanent effect of this made of rhetoric must depend on deeds being found to corres p on d w ith words. And the higher th credit deserved by a Con servative party for continuing Conservative, even in Op position—the deeper the discredit which must attach to that party, if it is found flagrantly sacrificing Conserva tive principles to party purposes. (From the Standard.) That there are too many enemies of peace in France is now apparent. There are who desire war because they want employment—there are who desire war as opening a road to ambition—there are who desire war from that abstract hatred of England of which we have given a sample—there are who desire war as leading to the re-establishment of the Republic or the Napoleoh dy nasty—there are some who think they see in war a pros pect of the recovery of the throne by the elder branch of the Bourbons ; and above all, and most rancorous and malignant of all who seek a war with England, there are the fanatical Romanist sect, the preachers by their organ, the Univers, of the necessity of " a baptism of blood had glory' tor the kings of France. This is a formidable array of the elements of war ; but there is some consolation in the view of their utter repugnance among themselves —more in the character of the King of the French, and in the good sense of; we fondly believe, the majo rity of the French nation. The various parties maw be agreed in wishing for a war with England, but are they quite prepared for the carrying of it on in harmony ? Will the Napoleonists, Legitimists, ana Republicans, for example, cooperate cordially in giving to the reigning family " the baptism of blood and glory,"—or will they agree among them selves as to the form of propagandism which it may be proper to adopt as an auxiliary to war ? Again, the Republicans and Napoleonists are notoriously rather free in their religious notions. One of their great foundations of hope is the revolutionising of Italy. Will the Legitimist and Romanist fanatics assist in a scheme, one of the earliest results of which would, probably, be the throwing of Dr. Capel lari and his Cardinals into the Tiber, and establishing an ultra-Liberal Government in the Holy City ? They know, as well as we do, that though the Rotnish Church has made prodigious efforts in France within the last few years, it has as yet fiery little hold upon the minds of the mass of the people. Its utmost success has been, as its utmost efforts have been directed to that object, to prevent the adult generation from bp coming Protestant Christians without making theta Romanists. (From the Courier.) The last ©f Dr. Chalmers' productions on the Church question—" What ought the Church and the people of Scotland to do now 1" furnishes a most singu lar commentary on his celebrated text—" Retract ! no, not a hair's-breadth." When this text was given out e.e cathedra, the cry was, " The veto! the whole veto! and nothing but the veto !" Now, says the Learned Professor in the tract before us, " The first thing, thee, which in our estimation the Church ought to do, is to repeal the Veto Law." Dr. Cook, as the head of the Moderates in 1834, opposed the enactment of the Veto Law ; and through every Presbytery and Synod where they could make their voices heard, the Mo derates have been calling out " Repeal the Veto- Law !" and at length the " Evangelicals" are respond ing to the call. This at least says something fi'r the moderate party having all along been righ. iu this Veto question ; and demonstrates moreover that it is easier to move the Church—at least from this particular modification of the non-intrusion principle— than to dislodge Arthur's Seat or Edinburgh Castle from their places. We are far indeed from finding Kula with Dr. Chalmers for the candid confession he has made, that the very first thing the Church has to do is to repeal the Veto Law. It is likhly honoUrable to him, the very father of this law, to brave the reproaches. to which this course may expose him.• rather than to persevere in sustaining an ec clesiastical arrangement, which he at length sees and acknowledges to be incompatible with the law of the land ; and we should apprehend, being so ineorn.. patible, also inconsistent with the enactments of a Church established by that law.
