EVFN!NG EDITION. the brutal acts by which its execution has beenpursued add to the humiliation which it has felt." This is down right re, ing. The Courrier Francais is equally intern perate 66 gas Government had declared that the means of cone al:el:it meditated against the Pacha could only be insuffi. ' cient or den erous. So long as recourse was only had to co ercive werasoares of which the insiseiency appeared dent, such as tile solitary blockade of the coast of Syria, France was free to wait aed to look on. But es soon as dangerous means have been resorted to, and that the powers have not feafed to begin the eonquest of Syria, f tiy bu-ning an open town , then the soucd o the guns the Coelitio- has reached the heart of France. Eveey one feels that the honour of the country is attacked. Since the taking of Beyront there are only four great Pewers,T Europe, in the eyes of those who have signed the treaty. the This laneuage would imply thet, right or . e!ron , g o ,_ a .. opincoo of France ought to outweigh the orpolloovvoerstdif.l.i the other Powers. France and the !enot:ir Powers of the fered as to the means by which Turkish empire should be rue.insttil:lL-1 int.. refused Mehemet Ail from to join the other Powers in ejecting u the to Fo Syria to which he hp no title, ur Powers wbo signed the Treaty hare proceete d_ give ? effect to it, France is blotted ont of the mao of ti;eeope. The Presse speaks more reasenahly :—" Tim affsirs of the 'Beat may be stated in a few words : On the one hand, England, Austria , Prussia, and R;I:i1:4 were *greed in opinion that Mehemet Ali should confine his preten sions to the hereditary posse*sions of Egypt, wee' the poasessiom for life of the title of Pacha of Acre, with the command of the fortresses of St. Joan d'Acre aed the administration of the southern part of Syria. Oa the other part, France wished that more favourable con ditions should be offered to Mehemet Ali, and especially that force should not be had recourse to in case of his resistance. To that the Four Powers opposed the following argument In this state of things there remained to the Four Powers only this alternative : Either to abandon the important affairs in which they were embarked, to trust to chance for the future, aed flees to manifest. their powerlessness, or to decide to proceedestivneee co-operation of France.' Now can - it seriously be maintained sleet the Four Powers ought to abandon their opinion for this only rensoo, that they could not succeed in making France share it ? When was it first understood that the majority must yield to the minority? When was a minority entitled to believe, and to declare itself insulted, merely because it could not force the majority to adopt its opinion ?" This is the language of reason and common sense. France had better at once lay claim to the universal Monarchy which united Europe against Louis the Four teenth. England has borne with much from France. The occupation of Algiers is a violation if an under standing entered into with this country. It is a wrong to which England has submitted without being the less sensible that it is a wrong. This is not the only griev ance of which we are entitled to complain. The inva sion of Spain by France, under the Duke n'Augoo lenie, was justly complained of by England. But it is with nations as with individuals—much forbearance is often necessary. In this cue, however, France has no right to complain. She has so right to identify herself with Mehemet Ali. The treaty of the 15th of July, and the carrying of that treaty into effect, are not in juriotte to France. Her complaints are like the noise of a froward child. A treaty was entered into without her. Why was it entered into without her. but be cause she refused to enter into it? The resentment of France, because the Four Powers agreed with the Sultan to reduce a rebellious subject amounts really to an:assertion of eupremscyover all Europe. Had the Four Allies agreed to inflict some severe injury on France, the language could not have been more indignant. (From the Morning Advertiser.) The election for Lord Mayor is over, and Toryism, with its kindred ministers, falsehood, calumny, and hypo crisy, may shout in triumph. The trick of faction was seen too late. The object, they think, is accomplished. They have defeated Alderman Harmer, sad with his gained the election of their partisans on the next 'tree sion as members for the City. They are mistaken. Even as it is, Alderman Harmer has polled more votes from among the Livery, than the four sitting Members "did at the last fierce and desperate contest, while Alder man Pirie, the head candidate against Alderman Harmer, is more than 200 lower than Mr. Horsley Palmer. The votes among the Livery were, for Wood, Grote, Crawford, and Psttison 2,263 Alderman Harmer In this point of view, therefor., the Tories have gained no victory, but rather sustained a loss. Again, as to Alderman Harmer himself, it is quite clear, from the numbers that have polled, that he otez - ht to be considered as having the majority. Thera were three candidates brought forward. It is not too much to calculate that each had at least 500 personal friends. Taking therefore Alderman Pixie's personal friends at 500, Johnson's at 500, and Harmer's! at 500, the elec tion would stand thus :—All Pixie's friends were in structed to pall, and with very few exceptions did poll, for Johnson ; all Johnson's friends, with a similar ex ception, for Pirie ; thus, deducting from Pirie his 500 and Johnson his 500, it would leave of uninfluenced votes for Pirie 1,741 ; for Johnson 1,713. Deducting in the same way 500 from Harmer, his number would be 1,794, giving him a majority over Pirie of 53, and over John son of 81. But this is not all. This election has been gained chiefly by the quotation of certain offensive pas sages from the Weekly Dispatch, and the connection with those passages of a certain letter signed " James Harmer," in reply to the declaration of the Livery, which boasted of the Dispatch aed its influence upon public opinion. This letter has been advanced day by day in the columns of the Times, Herald, Post, Standard, and Courier ; and the first of these journals asserted, that on the day it appeared, the " Declara tion," which was dying a lingering death, was sud denly signed by a greater number than en any previous day. Now it turns out that this :otter, which has lost Alderman Harmer his election, was not written by him at all, but was printed and published without his consent, or even knowledge ; and that when he did see it, on coming from Ingress Abbey, he highly dis approved. of it ; yet such was his sense of honour—such his kind consideration for all who intended to serve Lim, that rather than be compelled to prove these facts, tnd to injure even an injudicious friend, he lost the elect ;n, and retired to private life. This is a curious contrast to the affected secrecy of Alderman , Johnson, in covering with mystery his mere calling eard, and then assuring his " dear friend," Alderman Harmer, that he never would consent to serve against him. There is a very prevalent opinion that Alderman Harmer intends to resign his gown. We hope not ;at all events the Livery should net permit him. It is evident that the tide is rapidly turning in his favour. It will turn more so when it is known that he has sternly and steadily refused to be a party to any means for dividing the voters of the opposing Aldermen, by taking advantage of the fact, that one was a Church man and the other a distinguished Dissenter. He is himself a Churchman, but a Churchman that would rather heal the differences between the Church and the Dissenters, than do anything for any personal purpose that might bring them prominently or bitterly forward. Many offers of money have been made to assist him in his electiop, but they have been respectfully de clined. The parties, however, now talk of subscrib ing for him a piece of plate, commemorative of this great struggle and of their attachment towards him, and by presenting it, or giving him a dinner, on the 9th of November (Lord Mayor's day), to contrast the real respect which true virtue and high-minded honour receives, to the glitter and gewgaws of an ordinary civic feast. The latter, we are persuaded, will soon follow. Let but the citizens prevail upon Alderman Harmer to retain his gown, and then no power. on earth, or under it, can prevent, now that all the factt are known, his return next year, in a more triumphans and enthusiastic manner than any previous Lord Mayor. (From the Morning Post.) We can by no means agre with those Ministerial writers who describe the formal deposition of Mehemet Ali by the Sublime Porte, and the bombardment and destruction of Beyrout, as "fortunate events." In any case we think they must bee regarded as unfortunate, and nothing but the actual necessity of circumstances can render them justifiable. The commencement of war, and especially of a war in which the leading Euro pean nations take sot only a great `but a rival interest, is an exceedingly serious matter, which should not be undertaken until all hope is gone of achieving the end in view by other means. Another question in addition to the justifiable ness o f the extremities which have been j re sorted to at Beyrout is that of their policy at this par t!cular time. If t h e Allies have determined that :hey cannot settle th e a ff a i rs of the East without the use of force, they certainly should have been red with force of the most d ec i s i ve d escr i ption, and which would settle the affair with th e l east poss ib le delay. ' Such terference as will merely en a bl e t h e S ultan to carry i o n ; the war against his rebellious vassal is neither to the dignity of the Allies nor co n d uc i ve to thulteable inte rests of humanity. If the Sultan is t o b e assisted at all, he should be assisted in sack a way as will enable hi m speedily to end the war, and to establish his soverei gnty to the full extent which the Allies have resolved upon. We can scarcely deem it possible that such peddling an d practically cruel policy as our Government pursued with respect to the civil war in Spain is to be acted upon in Sy_ ria. That would be indeed disgraceful, and we regret that the commencement of operations should have given any ground for such an apprehension. A Ministerial journal makes this kind of inadequate interference a ground of compliment to the policy which has been pursued. Prance is called upon to mark that we only give to Syri a t h e means of deciding whether she will rescue herself !self from the usurpati o n of Mehemet Ali. France, i 'Lgaid, cannot o bj ect t h at t h e S yr i ans s h ou ld c hoo se the " 1 Government and Sovereign, and, a s we afford them no 4 asieterace that would b e e ff ec t ua l without their ardent co-Operation, the change will be, in fact, effected by them, or not insincere re We regard this as a paltry and that Syria shall paauti". The Allies have determined ehemet i he s (from the actual Government of It was the business of etal Government of th e S u lt an . thu Allies to discover whether termio4tiott t was just and right Alle refore they came to t h e de- The ferment into which the French Minister; and ileir press have been thrown by the easy success of the operations against Beyrout curiously illustrates the hypocrisy of their late clamour. A few days ago they reclaimed against the quintuple treaty as impossible to he carried into effect, without bringing the Russians to Constantinople ; and as, therefore, nothing more than a preliminary to investing the Czar with the Euro pean dominions of the Porte. Now, however, that thry ;have be'ore them proof that the treaty likely to be enforced without bringing the Russians to Constantinople —according to all present appear ances, .without the advance of a single Russian solder, even into Asia Minor—their fury is still more inflamed. It is surely plain from this, that the aleged fear of Russia was altogether a fallacy from the first, and that the professed desire to protect in tegrity of the Ottoman empire was no less a fallacy. There is now every rati , nal ground for supposing that the people of Syria and the troops of the Sultan, only aided by such naval coioperation as the Allies afforl, and such as in principle France has sane- Coned by the Spanish quadruple treaty, will be quite sufficient to drive the rebel usurper beyond the Desert, or, if the Porte choose to punish his crimes, to drive him even from Egypt ; and supposing this to be effected. what reason will the Government which affects a care for the integrity of the Ottoman empire as necessary to the balance of Europe, hate to complain The Ottoman empire will not be less entire by the recovery of the richest portion of its territory, or less strong to resist Russia, if necessary, by vindicating justice upon its rebel vassal. Nations arc not made more formid able to their neighbours by partition—" a word to the wise," M. Tillers, it is said, threatens to resien if his Sovereign and his colleagues will not treat the re duction of Beyrout, or at •the least of Acre, as a casus Belli. We hope that by this time the red cross and the crescent are waving in union over the walls of Acre, as forty years ago they waved over these walls to the mortification of that " child and champion" of Jacobinism, of whom, after all, M. Thiers would be the successor, if his pigmy stature of mind allowed him. But still we doubt whether so wise a prince as Louis Phillippe will treat such an event as an occasion for plunging France in hostilities, and constituting him self the Lafayette, the Custinc, Daniourier, or Pi ehegru, of a state of anarchy, in which the least reviirsc—and reverses would be early .and fre quent on the side of France in the threatened the e r— r sign s th e warrant of banishment or death for uling authority.

EXTRAORDINARY BANKRUPTCY C(1-1)ASE. —A singular and unprecedented bankruptcy case has been going on for many weeks past, and is still proceed • ing at Whiddon's Royal Hotel, Plymouth, be'ore three of the Commissioners for that district. The bankrupt is a Mr. Samuel Lyle, formerly engaged in extensive minion transactions in Cornwall, and also connected with a Com pany row defunct, called the Tamar Smelting Company. We understand he was made a bankrupt some time since, his debts amounting to 3,0001. When the proceedings first commenced Mr. Lyle sought refuge in Boulogne, from wh'ch place he offered to pay his creditors 3s. in the poutd. It was ascertained, however, that he I,id carried vith him a sum of money to the amount of nearly 8,0001., )i which the greater part was in sovereigns, teed of couras this offer ens at once rejected by the assignets. Lately the bankrupt returned to England, and the fiat against him was proceeded with, the Commissioners and the attorneys for the t..signecs using every pes • sible means to discover what bad been done with the missing property. The bankrupt, and his brother, who is a person of wealth, have offered we hear, to pay 20.5. in the pound to stop proceeilit.gs, but to this the opposite party viii not eminent. Three weeks since, the bankrupt, at the termination of a very severe examination, late in the evening, escaped from the hotel in his slippers, and being just in time for the Exeter mail, proceeded on the top of it to t' ^' city ; on reaching which he supped and slept at the N.qe London Inn. Ile was itnine , ,liately pursued by tlee Plymouth Attorneys in a carriage and four, who pat up at the same establishment. When the morning' came both parties were en the alert, but Mr. Lyle having spied cut lii3pursuers, it is supposed, frem his bed. room window, cleverly made his disappearance (witleout having time to pay his bill), by the side entrance of the hotel, and directed his steps to the Bath toad. Here ha was traced and followed for a considerable distance, but he still eontrieed to keep his pursuers at fault, nod at length reached Bristol, having been taken up .by one of the coaches. The attorneys, /weever, were quick on his • heels, snd from Bristol ha was chased to London, where the pursuit became so hot that, we understand, ha only left one particular house there, at the back door, about two miuutes before his pursuers entered in at the front. From that moment until Wednesday week nothing could be heard of him, and it was supposed lie had effected his es.. cape to the Continent, but, by that day's past came an in- timation to Plymouth, that the London police; in whose hands a warrant f .r his apprehension, signed by the eorntnis sioners, had been plae , td, had succeeded in making the d o . sired capture, and the following day Mr. Lyle was safely lodged in the Devon county gaol. The case still proceeds. —Bristol Journal.

The experience and example of the French nation before the Revolution of 1798, seems to be thrown away on the Parliament and on the aristocracy of England. In France, at thts;; period, the noblesse were exempted from payment of taxes, by law—and the plebeian, or the labouring classes, paid the whole of the taxes for the support of the Government in all its extravagance. There then existed great profusion and extravagance at the Court, and in the class of the privileged noblesse ; .but, amongst the million, misery, and wretchedness. At that time the public prints often described the state and condition of the people of France and of England as it then was in each country. The French were exhibited in pictures as half-starved creatures—almost sketetons, covered with rags, with a dish of soup meagre before them (meaning a up without meat), and some bread es their daily fare, whilst the English John Bulls were exhibited with full and rosy cheeks, round paunches ; fat, sleek, and in good condition, with a beef-steak or roast beef and plenty of beer before them, and having sound and good clothing : and, we believe, the description was pretty correct and well delineated. In France the working classes were miserable ob jects, and looked upon with disdain by their titled countrymen. In Ea:land the work' g classes had enough or plain food for themselves at:a families, and they were decently clothed, and bad the bold and independent character then given of them. England had redly a bold and happy working-class when compared to the miserable and dependent people of France. History affirms, and no person will deny, that the people, driven to extremities by misrule, brought on the revolution in France—the privileges ed the heartless and tyrannical noblesse were abolished—the laws were made equal, and applied equally to the rich and to the poor—to all classes alike. After the revolu tion the taxes were levied on the property of the coun try, and the rights of man—equal laws and eqnel justice —were established in France. Let :us ask wha . have been the consequences of equal !ewe and equal justice to all classes of men in France? The misrule and extra vagance of the Aristocracy and Court were put an end to, and the working-classes, contributing their fair pro portion of service and of taxes for the support of the State, received a fair reward for their labour, and have become really hold and independent ; they are fat and plump, with plenty of food to satisfy their •.vants— with a comfortable home and . decent clothing—and contentment, as compared with their condition before the revolution, reigns in the land. Although the French have not gained by the revolution all the be nefits they, in the hour of change, expected, they have exchanged their squalid misery for plenty and comfort —they have exchanged their rags far good clothing— their wretched hovels for comfortable houses, and to some millions of their dwellings small pieces of land and gardens are attached, adding greatly to their comfort ; and a state of high feeling and of pride in their country exists. Let any stranger question them on that point, and they will find that the ancient pride of Old John Bull has taken full pos session of the people of the land of frogs. The " land of frogs" was applied to France in derision, and in compatison with the land of roast-')eef and plum-pu& ding, which England was represented to be. Every • Englishmen of feeling—of common humanity, must mourn over the change that has taken place in this, his own land. The bold and independent John Bull, with 1 1 his roast-beef and plum-pudding, is changed into a miserable, discontented, half-led, half-clothed, and broken-hearted. wretch, lingering out a miserable exist ence, and yielding to want and disease in hundreds and thousands, under circumstances which make the really Christian man shudder to contemplate. In 1789 France was one garrison, with large military establislime p n e t o s p t l o e keep down the working classes ; and the demand f o r reforms and the correction of abuses made by the to the Government ia those days was answered by leaden bullets and the point of the bayonet. Now, the working classes in France arc freemen—,they are..en rolled as national guards, and they on all oecasions.iiro , tent the Government and support order without pay or allowunee. England in 1789 had scarcely ten thousand soldiers, and these were considered chiefly necessary to sapply her colonies with recruits and with reliefs : the loyalty and attachment of the working classes were the beet protectors of the peace and the best guardians of the throne, At this time, Englishmen are literally dis arrned—Englaod is now one garrison, with 13rip mili tary establishments to keep down the working classes (and, in some counties, the richer closes of the people are armed to assist the military to keep the people down), and the demand for reform in these our days is answered by leaden bullets end by the paint of the bayonet Is not this a true account of the state of England—if we add, with the prisons filled by hundreds of men whose faults were, to demand such reforms in the institutions of the country as the Ministers formerly stated were necessary to put an end to misrule, and to afford equal justice to all classes in the country ? It is to be regretted that the violence of sonic of the reformers, smarting perhaps under an acute sense of the injustice heaped upon the people in this land, and • of the misery and crime which have resulted from that injustice, should have given, by violent language, a co lour, and afforded some pretence for the use of military, and for the extensive prosecutions and severe punish ments which have been carried out by the present Whig Government. Will any man look at that picture at tentively, and say whether there is not real danger to the peace of the country ? Will any mr,n guarantee that suffering so intense, and misery so extensive—that dis content so loud, and complaints so general, can con tinue long without producing, as all former history tells us, the most lamentable consequences? We ask, then, what has changed the discontented and miserable France of 1789 into happy and contented France of 1810 ?. What has changed tilt happy and contented England of 1789 into the miserable and dis contented England of 1840 ? We answer that unjust privileges to the few—to a privileged aristocracy, have produced misgovernment, and hence the melancholy change we have pointed out is the result. We; add that the barbarous bread.tax, by plundering and impoverishing the millions of honest and industrious classes, to enrich the already wealthy aristocracy, has been mainly instrumental to produce this change ; and we, therefore, appeal to the Crown and to its Ministers to repeal these unjust laws which starve the millions and reduce them to a condition more wretched than the working classes in any kingdom in Europe. We say repeal the Corn-laws, and do equal justice to all men or take the consequences.—Monchester Times. LAi PRIMA DONA, OR MADAME MERE. " But how cmcs it that M. Thiers has committed so many blunders in the Eastern question ?" " Why," replied my informer jocosely, " he would do without his bonne. All his blunders have been com mitted in the absence of his mother-in-law. He had been too much reproached with doing nothing without her advice," " But whence comes the lady ?" said I. .‘ In all quarters I am questioned about her.' don't know. e she ha s LaPrioia received, Dona, fo is the for such is " th o e 111 l you u ous nickname daughter of a respectable clothier of Faubourg Mont mania,. The lady-, who thinks that the Foreign Mi nister's mansion in the Rue des Capucines, which the Countess Mole and Marcella! Duchess de Dalmatie considered a very suitable residence, is not sumptu ously enough furnished for her, sat, in her first youth, behind the counter where her mother kept a draper's books. When she was of an age to be married, she was married to a lad who had learnt Exchange and Bourse operations in a banking-house. This husband, M, Dosne, obtained, by the favour of the Duchess d'An gonleme, an office of stockbroker. He received com pany, his wife did the honours of his house, chatted about the nove l o f t h e d ay, and trot invitt:d by some journalists to the political solemnities of the times. This was under the Restoration. She wished to be admit ted to the Faubourg Sr. Germ.,in, but was repulsed. She became ferocious against the old Nobility, and hoisted at home the standani of Liberalism. Whoever wrote in the Liberal journals the slightest enthusiastic tribute to Foy or Benjamin Constant was sure to be well received at her hous e . It was towards that period that the author of L'llistoire de la Revolution ' was introduced to her. So much affection was entertained for him that he was soon treated a rami de la maison, and at length considered as one of the family. The Revolution of 1833 opened to the friend the career of honour's and fortune. He availed himself of his influ ence to have the Recette Generale of Lille bestowed upon l'amie's husband, and that the Lord alone knows by what rouerie ! Monsieur and Madame Dosne had two daughters. As soon as the eldest was fifteen years of age she was mar:ied to M. Thiers, then Minister of Com.. ! merce.

(From the Globe.) The Times has this morning an amusingly weak and disjointed article, the object of which is to prove that the differences existing among the leaders of the Tory party are not such as would incapacit ate them for constituting a strong and united Government. This proposition is made to rest on a fallacy and a falsehood. The fallacy consists in confining the dif ferences to the Tory leaders, to the exclusion of the considerable number of impracticable ultras, who follow the Tory leaders as opponents of the existing Govern meat, but who would embarrass and oppose those very leaders were they in office, by urging upon them their own 1 •• extreme measures, ecclesiastical and civil, and insisting upon these forming part of the policy of Government, as the condition of their adhesion and support. The ' falsehood cons:sts in confining the disagreements among the leaders to the China and Canada measures, as though there were no othe.-s ; and in the obviously in appropriate designation given to the dissensions among the Tory leaders in these questions, terming them " nominal," when they were obviously real and essen tial, such as any tyro in politics is sufficiently versed in the immediate and relative bearings of these questions to know that they were vital ; that a difference respect ing them in any Cabinet must have led to the retire ment of the dissidents, or, what was more probable, to the break-up of the administration, among the members of which such dissensions were die covered to exist concerning measures insepu rahly bound up with its foreign and colonial pe. hey. This laboured attempt to conceal the unseemly schisms in the long much-vaunted united Conservative party, will not only fail of its design, but will, by its having been attempted, show how fatal those schisms are, in the estimation of the party, to the hopes of office so long ardently cherished, the attainment of which has been so perseveringly sought by all the means which party ingenuity could devise ; and how anxious they are to sew fig-leaves together, in the hope of concealing " the shameful parts of their constitution" (to borrow a phrase from Bishop Phillpotts) from the pubic eye. Were Sir Robert Peel and the Duke of Wel i aaton in office, they must either propitiate the Ul. a Cherc'lmrm, wilts° impracticable demands for ex clusion and extension are urged upon the House cf Commons by Sir R. Inglis, Mr. Sergeant Jackson, and others of the party, by consenting to their demands ; or they must oppose their measures. In the former case t! ey would destroy themselves by disgusting and alarm ing every moderate politician in the csuntry ; in the let ter they wou:d be deprived of the support without which their Administration could not hold together six weeks. The " cross benches" would be occupied by Sir Robe; t Inglis, and the party which follows him in his efforts to extend the power of the Church by large forced coh tributions from the State ; and " We are fifty," would be a pretty significant hint as to what Sir Robert Peel and his colleagues must expect if they declined the terms on which " the Holy Alliance" would lend its .upport to the general measures of his Government. (From the Courier.) For a long i : . rne the English nation has been re proached with exclusve attachment to the aristocra tic branches of its society, whenever . it is requisite to bring into operation any portion of its penal laws. If a nobleman, having seen or felt too many black ‘ boiales upon tha table, sally out of his mansion ann mock down some half dozen policemen, besides destroying the knockers and bell-pulls of the neighbourhood in which he delights to exhibit his prowess, what does the magistrate ? He inflicts the usual penalty for drunk enness, and if there be a charge for wilful damage. orders it to be paid. Perhaps, too, the assault on con stables, unfortunate women wandering about the streets at the time of his peregrinations, or poor tradesmen re turning to their homes, may be alleged against the noble offender. One result invariably follows a charge involving any of these disgraceful outrages—the gen tleman of whatever rank he may be is ordered to pay the legal fine, and to defray the damage which he has occasioned in a voluntarily incurred ungovernable mo ment. This is justice as prescribed by law, but it is not such justice as is calculated for the good of the peaceable part of society. The noble or gentle offender does not care a rotten straw for the pecuniary loss which his inglorious exploits have occasioned him. He pays the police clerk, retires, and in a few days afterwards is produced to answer much the same sort of charges. Well, the law has it so; but, why in the name of all that we hold valuable should we deem the transgressions of a man moving in the higher circles of life of a more pardonable nature than those of the less affluent ? If a gentleman, forgetful of the respect due to socif.ty, pablicly exhibit himself in that state which the law has stamped as worthy of a pecuniary penalty, why should inferior per.ons not be allowed to possess the same indulgence, if it can be so called ? But when we see a person erring in a legs degree than the very genteel and highly nc ble per.ons whose adventures have become items in police reports, allowed to escape in the manner stated, we are forced to inquire what no tions of justice are possessed by the magistracy who re fuse to admit the pecu Diary pecaity as a compensation of a moral injury.

(From the London New nice Current of October 6.) Svoan.—Since Tuesday last importers of British Plan tation Sugar hit displayed firmness, and have obtained previous mica for both brown and yellow descriptions ; from the grocers there has been a steady demand, hut the refiners have bought sparingly ; the sales for the three market days have amounted to 1,300 hogsheads' and tierces. The great deficiency in the comparative stocks, and the trade being everywhere scan tily soppiied, cause the principal holders to be sanguine in their expectations. The arrivals have been small during the past weeks, arntunting to only 2 100 hhds and trs, being less than was received during the same time time last year. Tee Gdzette average price is 18s, higher than in 1839 at this time. To-day the market opened firmly, and excepting at prices fully equal to those of Friday it was impossible to purchase, and there was decidedly more life in the market, both grocers and refiners buying to a pair extent ; and 550 hhds and trs were disposed of. There were several large purchasers 61 under former rates. There was no public sale; of fine qualities the supply is short. The Gazette average price is now 57s 10d, in 1839 38a 9-id, and in 1838 30s laid. RE'''lNED. —Today a good demand existed fur Refined goods for home use, and prices have improved; sales in standard Lumps have been made at 1023 6d to 1033, I - brown Lumps 97s to 101 s; Hambro Loaves and Tittlers 104 s to 108 s per cwt ; Treacle was in fair re. (pest at 38a to 44s 6d ; a good demand existed for Bastards and Pieces ; Bonded Crushed Sugar dull of sale, and first quality obtainable at 333; Loaves sell freely, 10 and 14!bs at 38s to 39.3 Gd per cwt. MAURITIUS. -.-This afternoon the trade evinced a fair disposition to purchase at the public sales, which consisted of 2 313 bags • and the whole was sold, at former rates for yellOw sorts, but brown kinds went rather cheaper, good and fine yellow fetched 85s to 86s, middling and good mid dling 82s to S3s, low middling 81s to 81a 6d, fine browts 803 to 803 6J, middling 79a to 79s 6d per cwt. EAST INDIA. —This afternoon Bengal was in fair re. guest, and 2,100 bags at auction all sold at steady prices, bright yellow fetched 803 6,1 to 81s, middling 763 to 793 6d, low 74s 6d to 755., damps and washed 70s to 75s 6d per cart. FOREIGN. —A good demand has existed for white kinds of Brazil, chiefly to' shipping, and the rates previonsly established have been fully supported; 160 chests soft Pernams have been disposed of privately, low and mid tiling quality at 24s 64 to 25s 6d, good 27s ; 170 chests strong middling Bahia at 253.
