LONDON: TUESDAY, AUGUST 25, 1840. What the Tories would do in office may be known by what they demand or threaten in opposi tion. For weeks, or even months, they have de manded se.ere measures against the Chartists. Some of them have required the interference of the Magistrates to put an end to Corn-law discus sion. The Bishop of EXETER and his clique would extirpate the Socialists. Mr. NPGHEE calls for the extinction of the Catholics. Yester day, to crown the matter, the Times blamed the Ministry for not putting down the repeal agitation in Ireland. They are said to " betray their duty." Adding the repeaters in Ireland to the Chartists and Socialists in England, and adding to them the Anti-Corn-law agitators and the Anti-Church-rate agitators, were the Tories in office they would have to coerce three-fourths of the nation. By its own partisans the Tory Government is described as the enemy o . the people; and were it in office, it would be en gaged with them in direct and perpetual hostility. What the consequence to the public tranquillity would be can be easily foreseen. The agitation f,r the repeal of the Union would become a deadly quarrel between the Government of Ireland and the mas: of the people, and sedition, threatening rebellion, would compel the Government to increase the army in that country. At once an end would be put to its peace and its welfare. The Chartists, the Dissen ters, the Anti-Corn-law men, the Socialists, goaded by anger and fear, must become doubly energetic and doubly vigilant, and the peace of England would be as much endangered as that of Ireland. An army would be wanted in every town of the kingdom. In fact, the doctrine of the Tories is that the people cannot be right ; they and the peo ple must therefore be in conflict, and as the latter have now grown politically powerful, to place the Tories i❑ office is to ensure public disturbance, if not general convulsion. Some persons are well aware of this. One of the most ultra of the journals, the Ncrthern Libe rator, takes great pains in its last number to ex plain to its readers that the Whigs, in office, arc the chief impediments to revolution. It say that the GovernMent was offered to the Tories, &ring the late session, but they declir.ed, because of the difficulties by which the nation is surrounded ; and it counsels the people, whenever the Parliament is dissolved, to elect none but Tories, the more rabid and ultra the better. It rationally expects by that measure to turn out the Whigs, to hasten on colli sions letween the Government and the people, and so bring about the prevalence of violence and revo lution. The leaders of the Times and the advice of the most violent of the Chartist Journals are marvellously in accord, and both take the same road, if one honestly avows, while the other con c:als its ends. Practically, we are quite certain that the Tory policy of attemptin g to put down opinions, how ever erroneous, would be most mischievous, and theoretically we axe equally sure the Tories are wrong. The Government has no business what ever with opinions, or it must decide concerning every opinion, and must allow—if that be pos sible—none to be formed and none to be expressed but what it approves of. The Times, we noticed with pleasure, implied, a few days ago, an agree ment in opinion with us, condemning the Legisla ture, in more severe language than we have used, for too much meddling, and of course implying that the Legislature has inflicted great evil on the community. But the Times knows well that the Legislature has not unprompted undertaken all its odious task. On the contrary, a very busy, meddling set of people, having little or nothing to do, being provided for by the labours of others , have goaded the Legislature into unwholsome acti vity. Now, if the Government is to put down opinions because they are mischievous to society, it must put down, on the showing of the Times, the opinions and the meetings of the so-called saintly philanthropists who are the authors of much noxious and peddling legislation. The same kind of remarks may be extended to the silly agitation of Mr. MiGnEE and the Bishop • of EXETER against the Catholics, which, provok ing hatred and strife, is as inimical to the public welfare as any class of opinions whatever. We do not call on the Government to interfere with those opmions, or to put down the meetings at Exe.er Hall ; we listen to their absurdities—we can lau , ll at their Julies, but w e claim the same privilege for the opinions, however erroneous, foolish, or mischievous of other men. Tl.e Times, however, and those journals Is,ho call out to sup press one species of opinion and one species of agitation, must, in consistency, suppress the others ; and no Government—not even a Tory one—till it have established a complete military \ despotism, will undertake such a work. No doubt the limes says the opinions and pursuits of Mr. O'CONNELL are not those of the Times, and therefore they must be dangerous to the stability of the empire. Mr. O'CONNELL, however, is not of that opinion, and he has as good a right to form his own opinion as the Times, and to en force it by spoken words, as the Times has to en force its opinions by written words. There can be no treason in any political opinion : for the Go vernment is the offspring of the people ; it exists by their will, it grows from their opinions, and they have just as good a right, if it seem proper to them, to opine in favour of a republic or a federal union as for a monarchy. The monarchy does not exist for the QUEEN, or to satisfy any abstract theory, or because it is agree able to the laws of nature, but simply because it is the will of the nation ; and the nation may with equal right will any other form of Government. There is no law, whatever the resolutions of the House of Commons may say, making it treason to think that Ireland would be better governed by a Parliament of her own ; and it is no more a crime in Mr. O'CONNELL to propose a repeal of the Union, than it was in Mr. PITT to propose and accomplish it. We do not agree with Mr. O'CoNNELL ; we are far from thinking that the Irish should struggle for a repeal of the Union. We find one meddling law-making body mischevous enough, and to set up another in Ireland, and perhaps another in Scotland, would be only multiplying the fountains of impure legislation. We differ on this point in tot° from Mr. O'CONNELL, but we no more invoke the law to put down his agitation, than we invoke it to put down the more unchari table, ruinous, and disgusting agitation of Messrs. Mb.NEILE and M'GHEE. If the Tories in oppo sition call on the Government to put down the repeal agitation, in office they would use force to put it down, and, bringing the Government into collision with a heated multitude, would speedily involve us in civil war and revolution. From complaining of the treachery of GovPrn merit the Times jumps to reproach it with weak ness. If to do the bidding of the people and to have no strength in opposition to them be weakness, we pray that it may always be weak. The Go vernment of Sir ROBERT PEEL and the Duke of WELLINGTON was never so usehil and never so great as when it laid aside its beloved principle of Church tyranny, and did the biddit;g of the people in abolishing the Test Act, and in eman cipating the Catholics. Never d , d the Government commit a worse act, than when it was strong enough (and the Times will agree with us) to set tl;c people at defiance, and pass the Corn-law. We reckon the Opposition a part of the people ; and to reproach the Ministers that they are not able to make laws in spite of the Opposition, is merely to say that the Whigs are not strong enough to be tyrants. Had the Government ne ver been so powerful as to set the people at defiance, the country would not now have been cursed with a multitude of tyrannical Tory laws, which, for the misfortune of the Whigs, they have to administer. A strong Government—that is, a Government supported by the whole people, as against foreign nations—is a blessing ; a strong Government—that is, a Government supported bt an arinv, and by corruption of one kind or another, as against the people—is a great curse and a great tyranny. Because the Governments of Europe are too strong in this latter sense, they are all weak against each other, and a Tory Go vernment, endeavouring, at least to establish itself in strength against the people at home, would, by adding to our dissensions, increase our weakness in relation to foreign countries. For the sake of peace at home and strength abroad, the principles ex pressed by the Times must not be carried into exe cution by placing the Tories in office. The averages and the sliding scale of duties are the most ingenious parts of the Corn-law. They were devised with a view of bolstering up that ini quitous enactment. They had Corn-law men for parents; and nurses. The manufacturers and mer chants neither passed the law nor do they support it. Altogether it is the darling child of the land lords' foolish, but scoundrel greediness, for all villany is folly. At present the averages are beginning to excite much attention, and the Pro-Corn-law men condemn this part of their own law in the following terms. The Bridol Mirror, a Pro-Corn-law jour- nal, says : " The weather and the harv(st have excited and are still exciting the most intense at.xiety, both amongst the agricultural and commercial interests, as a short crop, and a consequent importation of foreign corn, followed is that importation would be by a great export of the previous metals, must be f.roductive of the most disastrous consequences to the community generally. A letter, of extraordinary importance, in reference to ;his subj,Tt, has just come under cur notice, from which it appears that an atrocious conspiracy ha,, been organised for the sole purpose of ra sing prices, and so reducing the duty as to lead to the itoporta non of corn, the export of gold, and the attendant para lysis of all commercial and trading operations." Mr. HANDLEY, one of the Whig Members for South Lincolnshire, and a great stickler for Corn laws, writes as follows : " It is perfectly notorious in London that several large houses in the corn trade have combined and sub scribed to make forced purchases far the purpose of re ducing the duty, and hence the monstrous returns of the last tour weeks, 9,598 qrs., 11,235 qrs.. 14,900 qrs., and 19,500 qrs., being in the average more than double the amounts of any preceding month. Thus, at a period of the y..ar when stocks are naturally low, and when the arrivals in the port of London are repre sented as only 10,7125 qrs., and the quantities by laud carriage 6 to 700 qrs., the returns of wheat represented as sold in the same week are nearly double that quantity, and almost equal to one-iburth of the aggregate amount of corn sold in the 149 other cities and towns of Eng land and Wales named in the Corn Bill of the 9th Geo. IV. " The discrepancies in the average price of Mark lane and Boston are also singularly wide ; but the Lon dun returns are better borne out by the markets of Guildford, Uxbridge, &c„ in price than :hey are by comparative quantities. The Board of Trade has insti tuted a searching investigation as to the bulks repre sented as sold, and the bona fide nature of the transactions. " Should ; they be proved to be fraudulent, they will be struck out of the averages ; but it it shall appear, as there is too much reason to apprehend, that certain parties have ready made such purchases, and hate thought fit to sacrifice large sums of money, with a view to future gain, I fear as the law stands there is no re medy, especially where the facilities are afforded, as in Mark-lane, of three markets in the week." So the averages do not answer the purpose of the landlords ; other men can turn laws to their ad vantage as well as the Lords of fat Evesham and of Lincoln Fen." The Standard is as wrathful as Mr. HANDLEY or the 137 istol Mirror, and vents its indignation and its silliness in the following terms s. The villany . exposed by Mr. Handley has st rong substantive claims to t h e n o ti ce and indignationoftihne public, but the exposure is otherwise of immense • terest. It proves the power of the great corn-dealers to raise and lower the markets at pleasure, ev en i n the pre sentl state of the law , when the borne supply necessarily interferes with tbem ; and it p roves also their rea l . ness to employ the power in question for their privat e gain, wholly regardless of the misery they it,fLet upon the puulic. Let, however, the supply of our markets TH1 . 4.! SUN, LONDON. TUESDAY, A` ST 25. IA4O. be made in a greater degree than at present dependent .upon an import trade, as it would be by a repeal of the 4r,11 the power, now , o wickedly exercise would bo infiiiit-ly enhanced—the food and lives of the people would become tie subject of daily speculation — the Stock Exrlangc would be as a dove-cote to the rookery of Mark•lane. Let the people think of this in time. The Corn-laws, then, do not work well for the landed interest, which—abhorring jobbery and plun der, which, being pure, virtuous, and most pa triotic—is struck aghast at the " villany" it has so innocently and unexpectedly engendered. An old receiver peaching aga►nst a young thief, because he will no longer filch for him, and endeavouring to bring him to the gallows, is an apt type of tilt• HANDLEY, and other Pro-Corn-law men, scolding the corn dealers because they work the Corn-law to their own advantage. If the virtuous indignation of the Bristol Mirror and the Standard did not wholly overwhelm the little judgment and sense with which they are endowed, they would know that the whole of this gambling is the off spring of the Corn-laws, and is intended to enable the dealers to being in the foreign corn they have i❑ bond without paying any duty. The speculations as to the averages have hale or no effect on the actual prices at which corn is sold to the miller and bread sold to the poor, except ulti mately to lower that price by increasing the supply of food, to the benefit, pro tanto, of all the eaters of bread, which makes us heartily praise what the Standard calls "villany ;" but they have a great effect on the return of the prices made to Government, and on the duty payable according to law on the corn brought in tor home consumption. Mr. HANDLEY very unconsciously—poor silly Corn-law advo cate—proves all this, when he shows that the prices at Boston, Uxbridee, and Guildford do not corre spond with the sales at Mark-lane. They have, we repeat, no effect on actual prices. Neither are these fictitious sales made with a view of now importing foreign corn and sending gold out of the country, deranging commerce, for the ne►w• harvest is not yet ready to be imported from th e Continent, and the old harvest has been before now nearly all brought to England, as far as it can be spared. The single object is to enable the holders of corn now in bond to introduce it into consumption at no duty, and so pocket the vi hole amount of the duty. They will be greatly enriched by their success, the people will by no mea►es be injured by the increased supply paying no duty, as only the erroneous, silly landlords will be vexed to see other people enriched by the villanous law which they devised to enrich only themselves. Praise be to trading, praise be to smuggling, which correct the folly or the knavery of fiscal legislation, though they can neither prevent nor wholly cure it. A letter from Culne, which appears in another part of The Sun, expresses grief at our re marks on Mr. WOOD for his conduct in endea vouring to repress the riots at Collie. We meant neither to grieve any of our readers nor inflict pain on Mr. WOOD, but at present the imperative duty of the press requires us to keep a watchful eye over the conduct of the irresponsible Magistrates in relation to the people. In their present condition —in a state of starvation for which they are not culpable—exasperated and angry at the novel means employed to coerce them, they de mand the utmost tenderness in the handling, and it is especially necessary that the Magistrates should avoid everything which can exasperate them. Un der these views we spoke of the conduct of Mr. WooD, which, judging by what appeared at the inquest, seemed to us extremely indiscreet, and more like that of a man who used his authority for his amusement, than that of a grave Magistrate dealing with one of the most weighty affairs he can ever have to manage. We see nothing in our Correspondent's letter to make us alter that opinion, though his attestation to Mr. WOOD'S general .400 d conduct, and to his scrupulous tenderness for the liberty of the subject, may serve to place that gentleman's character fairly before the people. Our Correspondent, unfortunately, for the people of Collie and for Mr. WOOD, reveals the true state of the case when he describes the cause iif the riot, and the necessity for such a military force as may prevent the recurrence cf lawless and savage attempts. The new police are so unpopular that they need an army to protect them, and the gentry at Collie, who have been anxious to intro , duce that police, are evidently destitute of all in fluence and power over the " misguided populace." This is the secret of the whole affair, and Mr. WooD and the rest of the Magistrates, having no influence over the people, rely on soldiers and Riot Acts. England, by a succession of bad legislation, by oppressive conduct in the upper classes, and by careless, if not oppressive, conduct in the middle classes, is fast becoming an insecure abode, and if Heaven does not turn the hearts of those who now rely wholly on police, soldiers, and sharp laws, in a little time, be in a worse condition, as to security, than Ireland. The leading topic in the Paris Journals is the Eastern Question, but no new fact is brought for ward to throw additional light upon it. The pa cific Journal des Debais, which hitherto supported the British Liberals, now puts the Tories on the back, ignorant or forgetful of the fact, that one of their accredited daily organs has laboured, and is labouring, with might and main to sow the seeds of discord between the two countries. The Con stitulionnel is content to quote the opinions of a part of the London press, devoting its original re marks to the question of African colonisation. In the Alonileur Parisien of Saturday night the fol lowing laconic official communication appears : " Tne Government has received by telegraph the news of the arrival at Toulon of the steamer Etna, but no news whatever was added to this pure anti simple announcement of the arrival of the vessel. The scaled despatches which she has brought, and which have been forwarded to Paris by courier, had not arrived this day (Saturday) at six o'clock, P.m." It is very singular that the news of the refusal of the Paella of EGYPT to restore the Turkish fleet, and to yield to the decision of the Four Powers, which was copied from a Lyons paper, and published in London yesterday, should not have reached the French Government at six o'clock on Saturday evening. It is moreover strange that despatches should be so provokingly late, and ru mours creating such fluctuations on the Bourse so very common during the Adtrunkration of a Ca binet, the chief of which has so much need of making the public forget the old stories in circula tion during his former Presidency of the Council. About the profitable working of the Bayonne Tele graph in the matter of certain official jobbers in Spanish Bonds, M. TRIERS is said to be as thriving a Minister as \VALPOLE himself, who with an income personal and official, never ex ceeded 12,0001. a year, lived for twenty years at the rate of 20,0001. per annum, and retired with savings exceeding 200,000/. Of course we cannot exactly tell in what way these things are managed in France, though we could give a shrewd guess as to how they were formerly conducted in England. " It is reported," says the Commerce of Sunday, " that the French Ambassador at St. Petersburgh, M. de Barante, is to be recalled, and a simple Charge d'Af faires, M. Casimir Perier, late Secretary to the embassy at Naples, is to be substituted for hi m . It is in this manner that the French Government is determined to ripiy to the bid conduct of the Cz it towards France. H e it was wim played the principal part is the drama 01 London. Tile recall of the Polish exiles from the I island of Jersey is part of' the reprisals to be used against the Czar. Among them is LeJocliowski, particularly obnoxious to the Emperor for having caused the deci ,ion of the Diet of Warsaw which proclaimed that the Czar had forfeited the crown of Poland." There is no news in the French papers of any interest. On the 20th the English had nearly all evacuated Passages, and the French frigate Her mione, had taken down her flag, which was hoisted at Tricandor, and was also preparing to leave the coast. itE"EAL AGITATION. TO 7HE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sta----1 our eorr.spon.tent Lst night (under tihe s'g nature of an " Honest Reformer") inquires " What is the real ol.ijeet for which the Ulster Constitutional As sociation is formed ?" "Is this movement honest ?" Or is it ant intended to play the subtle game of rulers whose motto is Divide et impera ?" Permit me to grapple with your correspondent's queries seriatim, or at least so to shape my reply that it shall embrace them all without evading any. I shall take his second query first—and I reply to it, that the Ulster movement is an honest one ; whilst the apparent apathy that he complains of on the part of the Ulster Reformers, for a given number of years past, has been (ab ovo usque ad mala, your Corres pondent loves a scrap of Latin) essencially and prac tically insiacepe. Their tacit acquiescence during the period alluded to, in the irregular guerrilla manmuvring of Mr. O'Connell, (destitute us it has been of any one fixed principle worthy of adoption, or recognition as a party movement, by any high-minded party in the State, was continually at variance with their better feelings, and their better judgment. The motive of this silence and inactivity on their part was quite intelligible, viz., so long as it was possible for them to do so, to leave in abeyance every vexata questio that could for the time divide the Liberal in terest, and approach as nearly as they could to that unity of action in party movement, in which the Tories are so imrneasureably their superiors. Tins, however, has no longer been permitted to them ; and the reply I I have to give to your correspondent's third query will (if my assertion a 3 to fact be true) sufficiently demonstrate that the late independent movement of the Reformers of Ulster has not been a voluntary secession on their part from the retaining great and influ ential body of Irish Reformers ; but has been ' forced upon them by Mr. O'Connell's recent exhu mation (rather than resuscitation) of that long-since dead and buried foe to Irish freedom and Irish nros perity,—the Repeal question. It was to have been hoped, that after his memorable break down on the oc casion of seeking to make it for the first time the sub ject of a substantive motion in the House of Com mons, (when not one solitary voice from Eagland, Wales, or Scotland was raised in its behalf;* and with the great majority of property in Ireland equally hostile to it,) it was, I say, to have been hoped from that time that it would have been suffered to moulder ot.it its time in the silent tomb ; and not be again called forth to stalk like an evil spirit through the land, scattering dissension, where union, a tout prix, should be the one great paratnourst object with every sincere Reformer. Such hope, alas! was vain. The war whoop of Repeal (but without a tithe of its former supporters to re-echo the cry), has again gone forth, and one of its first results has been the Ulster Consti• tutional Association ; for be it known to your Corre spondent that the renewal of the Repeal agitation pre ceded and led to the formation of that Society instead of being a consequence of it ; and when he asks me its " real objoct," my answer is, that it is to show to the world that all the anti-Repealers of Ulster are not Tories, and that whilst it is matter of notoriety that every man in Ireland having two pence to lose, and two grains of sense to take care of them, is against Rveal, there yet exists in Ulster a body of Constitutional Reformers (in Church and State) true to their principles, and neither ashamed nor afraid of avowing them. I remain, S'r, your very obedient servant, A LANDOWNER OF ULSTER. Liverpool, Aug. 23. Mr. Kennedy, the Member for Tiverton, was a solitary exception.----En. Sun. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

Cassia Lignea much inquired after, but the article being withheld from the market, business was pre vented. TEA MARKET. Prices were maintained at the public sale 9, and a fair demand existed for all descriptions. Company's Congou was held for 2s. 31d. cash per lb. Further public sales have been declared.

Next Mond,iy, this train will carry the mail bags north card of Rugby, to which place the letters will continue to be carried from Loudon by the presen , Bir mingham mail-train. The new train will quit Euston square, at 9 p.m. From Madrid the Journals are of the 16th, but they bring no news. The Journal du Havre of the 22d inst., states that the arrivals in that port during the last week amounted to 21 ships from foreign ports. Trade continued flat in consequence of apprehensions of war, and the merchants were anxious that the present state of uncertainty should cease, as it prevented all speculation. Reinforcements of troops continue to 1)e sent to Al eiers ; four hundred and thirty men draughted from different regiments, and intended for the corps of Zouaves, have just left Toulon, on board the Grondeur, which is to leave at the hospital at Mahon, Mr. Jour dain, the principal physician, and several surgeons. The arrival of troops at Toulon, consists of 3rd Company of Sappers of the First Regiment, o f 150 m en, was cantoned on the 18th at St. Nazaire, where 100 men of the same regiment were expected to arrive on the following day. This detachment will take part in the approaching expedition. It is more than probable, (says one of our corres pondents at Toulon) that the expedition which is going to act in the province of Oran, will visit Tagdernpt, where Abd-el-Kader purposes to fix the seat of his government. We add some particulars respecting that town, which are taken from official sources, but they are of the date of 1838, and it is known that since that time the Emir has caused great works to be carried on. Tagdempt is believed to be a Roman town, which Abd-el-Kader has endea voured to restore, in order to make it the seat of his Government, and to place there his maritime establish ments. It is situated not far from the sources of the Cheliff, sixty leagues S.W. of Algiers, and twenty leagues from Mascara. It is in a very elevated position, surrounded, however, by hills which commanded it. There is allarge stream of water:on which Abd-el-Kader has had some mills erected. Tne Etnir has built a fort with the ruins which were at hand, and he has esta blished a manufactory of small arms, which, according to the latest accounts, furnishes only a few iil-made muskets. He has likewise atteisf:sten, but without suc cess,, to cast cannon. At present there arc not above 200 houses at Tagdempt, chiefly occupied by lion 'oriels, whom Abd-el-Kader had remoeed from Tlenie cen, Mazonnah, and Aledeali. ‘‘ We will add to the above, that since the renewal of hostilities Tagdempt has become the depot of sup plies for the army. Ammunition of all kinds is col lected, and there is also a depot of regular troops. It is certain that the fortifications which are erecting by the Emir's orders about this place, are proceeding with great activity. The population is certainly more con siderable than in 1838, for the inhabitants of Medeah, Miliana, and those of several tribes near the points occupied by our troops, have been sent thither, at least a great part of them.—Le Cumme)ce. EXTRAORDINARY EXPRESS FROM PARIS. By a telegraphic despatch we have received the following extract from the Moniteur Parisien of Sunday night : " Government has received the accounts from Alexandria, brought by the Etna steamer. Every thing was tranquil in Egypt and Syria up to the fith instant. The insurrection in Lebanon had nof again broken out. The Viceroy had received with calmness the news of the treaty of London, and was continuing with great activity his prepara tions for defence. He had not received, at the de parture of the Etna, the official notification of the treaty of London." Advices from Algiers of the 15th instant, state that a detachment of 125 French soldiers had been surprised and put to the sword by the Arabs.— Times. HIGHGATE ON SUNDAY.—Since the Agnewites have inflicted their iron laws on this delightful spot, it has become absolutely a picture of desolation. On Sunday last the scene was gloomy beyond description. About four o'clock every place where refreshment could be had was shut up, and visitors from London were obliged to proceed to Hampstead, exhausted with heat and thirst, in the hope of finding something like civilization cad hospitality. Not one in ten of them, possibly, will ever visit the place while the present fanatical restrictions continue. They were sickened at the sight. With the exception of the beautiful view from the neighbour hood of the churcb, it would be difficult to find any spot around London where such a gloomy picture could be seen, A solitary funeral was advancing towards the new Cemetery, to the tune of the d, ad bell ; a half crazed young nice was preaching in the open space in front of the Gatehouse bin, without one hearer in the street ; and, to make a show of addressing some living beings, he ever and anon directed his voice to a window where there were some children with their nurse, glad to find anything to distract their attention from the dismal solemnity of the day. The present regulations are a most cruel infliction upon people who hare property in the village. While steam-boats are carrying thous/rods up and down the river without any restrictions of this sort, the quiet and peaceable villages of Hampstead and Highgate, that have already suffered so much by the introduction of steam conveyance, are now ad but ruined by this Phatisaieal mode of keeping the Sabbath—by turning a day of joy and rest into a day or sorrow and gloom, and inflicting on the working population sufferings infinitely more harassing than even their hard daily labour. None but knaves and hypo crites and fools could have the hardihood and impiety to say that such a perversion of common sense and pure religion is sanctioned by the Giver of all good. LATE MEETING AT NEWCASTLE.—A mistake has crept into several of the London journals, which have stated that the meeting at Newcastle, on Saturday wee k, called by Mr. C. At t wood, came to a different ter mination from that at Birmingham. According to the report in the Northern Liberator, the meeting at New castle came to no resolution whatever ; but, as Mr. Lowrie was about to address it in favour of the Char. ter, it adjourned or broke up, having been tired out by the tedious oratory of Mr. C. Attwood and Mr. Doubleday. It may be both pleasing and instructive to the French to learn that the chief support given to Mr. C. Attwood was from a belief generated amongst the neople that Englan d had entered into anoth er alliance , as i- at the time of the Revolution, with the Kings of the North against France. Against such an alliance —though the assertion is false, and is made to enlist the just sentiments of the people against the Govern enreowtltioe enter Northern merit thc people at Newcastle and elsewhere have Courtswarmiyter • into inure democratic France, s h e any such alliance to eosve;rnamndenwt English will . not see France than in England. The by either Russiaas or Prussians, but neither and declaredthe Britishtht, s e Government v rrronge„ w ou ld nowhere find more numerous and heartier friends will they submit to be wronged or injured by France.

A mid m of re,pectable :appearance, named Ge rge Lennox was b ht ron up by conrable Porter, 49 I', charged with robbery, under the following cir cumstances : Mr. Thomas Braddon, a solicitor, st.:ted that he ,s proe , edi, g tlinough HolyiArll•srt.rt, Strand. to. w,rds Charing Cross, between two and tl.ree o'clock this morning, in company with two friends, when be felt his hat (produced), snatched off his head by the prisoner, who ran away with it, and having gone in pursuit, the prisoner, on turning the corner of the street near St. Clement's Church dropped the hat, which witness did not delay to pick up, but keeping the prisoner in view, he continued running close to the prisoner, until he attempted to turn the corner of Surrey-street, where he was stopped by the constable, and conveyed to the station-house. Miss Caroline Noble, who was in company with Mr. Willis and the prosecutor, proved that, on turning round, she saw the prisoner snatch the hat and ran away with it ; but, observing that he was closely pur sued, he dropped it at the corner of the street, and she picked it up until she overtook the prosecutor, who went in pursuit. The prisoner said that his hat was a much better one than the prosecutor wore, and it, was very unlikely he would commit such an off,•nce. Oa being questioned who he was, or where he re sided, he said he had no fixed place of abode, and was a native of Liverpool, where he has not been for some years. _ Mr. HENRY said there was no other course left him to pur,ue than to send the case to a jury, and the pri soner should be committed for trial. The constable whose duty it was to visit the cells during the night, found, on catering the place where the prisoner was locked up, that he was in a very exhausted state, in consequence of his attempting to strangle him self with his braces, and when he was deprived of them he made a second attempt to commit suicide by choking himself with his stock. The Inspector, to prevent him doing any further violence to himself, directed a con stable to remain with him all night. Ttmotky Shethen, who was charged on Saturday with stabbing a youth named Robert Hood, with a dagger, in the arm, was brought up for final examination, and there being no further evidence to offer, except that of ;he person who wrested the weapon from his hand at the time he was taken into custody in the street, he was ordered to be fully committed for trial. DREADFUL FIRE. (FURTHER PkRTICULARS.) THE FIRE IN 13LoOM3BURY.—Frow the statement of Dwyer (the man who first observed it) it would ap pear that the fire originated in a kind of workshop, where some carpenters had been employed, and in which there was a fire for melting glae. The houses which suffered most beside the buildings where the fire origi nated were those of Mr. Rackle, tailor, No. G, Museum stre, t ; Mr. Allingham, No. 8, and the British Queen Coffee-house, No. 7. About four o'clock all danger was so far removed as to render the further action of the en gines unnecessary. During the greater part of the even ing the neighbourhood presented the appearance of a fair, but notwithstanding the crowds assembled, the pre sence of a numerous body of police, under the direction of Mr. Superintendent Greenwood and other officers, prevented any confusion or the loss of property on the part of those persons who were obliged to remove their furniture into the streets, that might have been expected front the propinquity of the scene of calamity to St. Giles's. THE FIRE IN BLOOMSBURY—Two o'CLocK.— The ruins still continue smoking, and occasionally a volcme of flame will break forth. Two engines are o❑ the spot, which are directed towards a quarter of the yard called the drying.room, in the large tunnel and flue of which the flames are still raging with unabated fury. The damage done has been immense. In the back of all the houses in Museum•street, from Broad street to Brewer's -street, not a pane of glass remains, but from the information we couid gain on the spot it would appear that those which suffered most were the back of the premises in Broa,i-street, In Museum-street a gun smith, named Bean, lost nearly 500/. worth of tools Fortunately the rectifying distillery of Messrs. Currie• in Vine•street, has escaped damage, as have also' Messrs. Hansard's extensive warehouses. The da mage done must be immense, although we had no means of ascertaining the amount. It is much to be feared that several persons who were lodgers in the neighbourhood have lost a great deal. These will be the chief sufferers, as most of the tradespeople and house holders whose property was destroyed were insured. ACCIDENTS AT THE FlRE.—During the exertions of the firemen 'and police yesterday to subdue the flames, many accidents occurred, but the two following were the most serious, one of which, from the dreadful injuries inflicted, it is expected will prove fatal. About two o'clock, a young woman, named Elizabeth Burns, residing at No. 41, Broad -street, Bloomsbury, was en deavouring to cross the road near Vine -street, when she was suddenly knocked down by the shaft of a van, and before she could be rescued from her perilous situation one of the wheels passed over her chest, crushing her body in a frightful manner. The unfortunate creature was inimediatt ly conveyed by the police on a shutter to tha North London Hospital ; and although life was not quite extinct on her arrival, it was thought by the medical gentlemen who examined her that she could not survive long, several of her ribs being dreadfully fractured. About the same time in the day, whilst several men were engaged in working the parocltial engine of St. M frtin's-in-the- Fields, in Broad-vtreet, upon the Bloomsbury distillery, front the anxiety of the men to throw a powerful supply of water upon the burning pile, the engine was over balanced and fell on several of the men engaged in working it, one of whom was crushed in a dreadful manner. He was carried on a shutter in most excru ciating agony to the same hospital as the other sufferer. Upon medical inspection both legs were found to be broven and his right toot crushed. It appeared from his friends who accompanied him to the hospital that he was a shoemaker, of the name of Harvey, residing in Betlfordbury, Strand. ROBBERIES.—AIthough the po'ice were very active in endeavouring to prevent robbery, many depredation, took place, and several of the offenders were captured, amongst whom was a notorious thief named George CoLier fur picking the pocket of Mr. Robert Henry Ray of 15 keys and other property. TORIES AND REVOLUTIONISTS (From the Northern Liberator.) The following ob,ervations are alluded to in the Leader : " It is now known that tile Tories dare not again take office, so desperate is the situation of affairs. Such is the history of Wellington's impolitic " protest" against the Canada Bill. For the truth of this narra tive, we repeat we can vouch ; and we call upon both Whigs and Tories to contradict it if they dare. At Peel and Stanley's reasons one can only guess ; but we believe them to be first, the bankrupt state of the finances ; next, the impossibility of managing Ireland ; and, lastly, the perilous and complicated state of all our relations with Foreign Powers, and the certainty of in creasing expenditure, with decreasing means, and a country sinking daily into deeper and deeper distress ! This is a state of affairs amply sufficient to appal even bolder men than Peel. " In the meantime we earnestly beg the people to con sider well the great importance of this awful revelation. If by their efforts they will now cripple the Whigs and absolutely prevent their carrying forward the tottering system, the whole damnable thing must come to the ground, for there is no third pal ty that could or would go on with it. In all elections, then, where real Radi cals cannot be returned, the game is to put in Tories, the more hot-headed the better Such men feeling themselves a majority in both Houses, will in no long time force the Whigs out of office ; and that once done, the end' would not be far off. Under any cir cumstances, indeed, we do not think it is very far off!" THE LATE FATAL OCCURRENCE ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY. DEATH OF FORSTEIt, THE ENGINEER, AND ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. BRENTWOOD, MONDAY EV ENING. - ThrOUgllOUt yes terday the painful excitement created by the late fright ful occurrence was in no small degree heightened in the town of Brentwood by the rumour that Foster, the engineer and driver of the engine hi which the accident happened, had expired, thus making the fourth sufferer to whom it had terminated fatally. On making inquiries the reporter ascertained that the rumour was but too true, and that the unfortunate man against whom so many charges of recklessness have been made, and to whom the sad catastrophe is alleged to be mainly attri hut4tlc, expired a few minutes after nine o'clock that morning. Saturday, prior to holding the inquest on Austin, the stoker, Mr. Lewis, the Coroner, had an interview with Foster, and elicited from him some very im portant statements relative to the occurrence. His widow has been in constant attendance up' n and s!ie states that he informed her that it was true he had his steam up at a greater htight on leaving Brentwood on Wednesday than was the usual custom, and that when he perceived destruction was inevitable, and that the engine had got off the line, he endeavoured to jump off it on to the left hand side of the rail ; but, to the best of his belief, the velocity of the engine was so great as to cause him to reel down the embankment after it. Foster has, ever since the dreadful occurrence, expressed his conviction that he should never recover, and has frequently stated the only thing that weigh,d upon his mind was the fat` pf `• pour Jim," meaning Austin, who, he states, was awero that something dreadtu. was going to happen before the train went off. Yesterday, Mr. H di, the manning director of the company, handed the waybills of the Colchester and greater. Norwich coaches to Mr. Lewis, the coroner, 9:4 evrATING, E 0 ascertained that a gentleman named MOSS was confined to his room at tho Spread Eagle, in Gracechurch treet, hating been save rely scalded.

Kr.VINT OF ONE HUNDRED FEARGUS O'CONNOUS FOR ONE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Stet—The—The Whigs s;ty they have "put Chartism id) down." I wish some of them would take a tour incug. ;ai ly throughout this district ; they would soon perceive their - alts error. The Chartists, farfrom being put down, are once ' i tt s more arousing in their might. Tue procession formed - ' )56 to welcome Collins and M'Douall into Manchester, ;erii (which the Guardi a n ca ll s a ra th er numerous crowd), consisted of at least 5,000 persons, besides thousands and tens of thousands who accompanied it. Ther a ?' P ' were four bands of music, and nearly fifty beautiful flays and banners. Rochdale has likewise given M•Douall and Collins a triumphal entry. Middleton does the same to-day. Leeds, Bradford, Bolton, York, and nearly a dozen other places, are likewise going to have processions and , dinners. The National Charter Association, into which all other Associations have been merged, will commence their labours by sending out ten or a dozen missionaries into the agricultural districts. A general system of organization and clas sification is to be carried nut through the country. Each town is to be divided into wards, each county into districts, and a Council of seven are to conduct true whole machinery. Manchester is to be the head quarters at present. A feather shows how the wind blows, and the following circumstance will show the feelings of the people :—Feargus O'Connor, in a letter from York Castle, desired the working men to name their children after him and the other leaders of the Ch;rtists. The people have complied with this request , and hundreds of children, both male and female, have been christened Feargus O'Connor, Collins, Vincent, &c. &c If our Governors were wise, they would learn something from these slight things. He shows you what an effect the liberation of Collins and M'Douall has had in rousing the people. I may add, that the Northern Star of last Saturday contains a re port of no less than twenty-eight meetings held in every part (f the country. Th e Whi gs will discover, who; too late, that persecution will not extinguish truth and righteousness. I am your obedient servant, A C H ARTIST. P.S.—UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE, AND NO SURRENDER' IS OUR MOTTO STILL. ABDUCTION AND VIOLATION NEAR CORK. An outrage of a very atrocious and determined ebo - was perpetrated or. Saturday week by four ruf fians upon a young female, the daughter of a respectable farmer residing about two miles beyond Blarney' They are four brothers, labourers, living in the parish 0 1 Grenagh, and it appears they had planned the oh' duction of the daughter of a farmer named James,. WaLh, who it was rep or t e d was ent i t l e d to a f ortun e of OW. The daughter, whose name is Margaret, a girl of about 19 years of age, left home on Saturday morning and was proceeding to Cork to purchase some articles, and witness the trial of a relative wbo was charged with the homicide of a man named Murphy at Grenagh cross.
