A Correspondent, who subscribes himself " A Young Englishman and a Chartist," takes us very severely to task for having spoken of the English, in our notice of Mr. O'CONNELL ' S letter, " as more sheepish and humble than the Irish." Our Correspondent is mistaken in attributing those re marks to any other than an Englishman, and one who was born in the very heart of England, and bred up in the most pofound veneration for his country. But he has outlived his teachers, and the memory of their instruction has been obliterated by the impressions on his own senses. He cannot close his mind to observation, and the opinions censured by our Correspondent, are the result of a pretty long acquaintance with the south of England. Whatever may be the characteristics of the as piring and youthful inhabitants of our towns, of whom no doubt our Correspondent is one, the general characteristic, we regret to say, of the in habitants of the rural districts of England is as we have described it. The unfortunate Irish have had he dominion of England, in addition to the domi- nion of their priests, and the dominion of their heart less aristocracy, to struggle against; and though they have not always struggled wisely, they have latterly struggled against their oppressors manfully and unit edly. Can we say as much of the English ? Are they not at this moment the most priest and the most lawyer-ridden of any people of Europe ? Did not, to quote one illustration, the inhabitants of the tropolis lately reject a gentleman whose turn it was to occupy the Civic Chair merely because a news paper, of which he is a part owner, had written something displeasing to the priest party ? Has not the dominion of the lawyer tribe been a re proach to England since the days of OLIVER CROMWELL, who essayed in vain to overcome it ? And arc not common sense and common right, by common concurrence, even now, continually sacri ficed to their uncouth jargon and lying fictions, which the public have not the spirit to resist ? On the contrary, they and the priests, are extending their dominion every day, and because the people are not wise enough to lighten it in time, a revolu tion will by and bye be forced on the country to break in pieces their heavy yoke. At present the domi nion of these men, most patiently submitted to, ex tends over every portion of domestic life ; it is not in the order of nature, and either that or society must he ultimately destroyed. Again, what words better than - those we have used, express the disposition in the mass of the people to follow the lead of the landowners, and submit with reverence to their insulting, unrighteous decrees ? They ordain, in the shape of a bread tax, plunder and starvation ; to put, as they suppose, a little money in their own pockets, they cut off trade and cut off the people ; and this most unrighteous and most ruinous law is sheepishly and humbly sub mitted to, as if those who decreed it were the im mediate servants of the ALMIGHTY, appointed to rule over the people, or even the ALMIGHTY him self. Doubly chained and enthralled by both a spiritual and secular power, the Irish have been kept unfortunately in profound ignorance ; but the English have had the liberty of instructing them selves. They possess knowledge, or they pretend they possess it, and yet they humbly and sheep ishly follow—we respectfully, but firmly repeat— maxims and men quite unworthy of honour, re spect, or obedience. Our correspondent is in error in supposing in us any prejudice from having been born in another land, or any anti-national motives for our remarks. We know that none such can exist, and, therefore, though at the risk of offend ing even others than " Young Englishmen and Chartists," we venture to reiterate them. On the same principle, apparently, that the Times has of late attacked the Admiralty, the principle of blind ignorance, it yesterday defended Lord HILL for his conduct in relation to Lord. CARDIGAN. On Wednesday it stated that Lord HILL " was convinced that the complaints which have arisen against the Earl of CARDIGAN are only too well founded." On Friday it said it had read the sen tence on Captain REYNOLDS with a feeling of pain. It spoke of that sentence as " justice without mercy ;" it described Lord CARDIGAN "as de serving a severer punishment than Captain REY NOLDS." "It would he idle," it said, "to hope that harmony can be restored to the mess-room of the Eleventh Hussars, or satisfaction given to the public mind, if the same hand which has visited with all the terrors of military discipline, should persist in screening from investigation the acts of the Noble Lieutenant-Colonel." Well, the Noble Lieutenant-Colonel has been screened by Lord HILL, who has positively refused all in vestigation into his past conduct, promising— which he had no occasion to do, for that is his duty—future investigation into regular official and authenticated complaints. The only punishment administered to Lord CARDI GAN, instead of a severer punishment than that of Captain REYNOLDS, is a reproof, which he and his friends look on as no reproof at all ; the sentence of justice without mercy which gave pain to the Times, has been voluntarily confirmed by Lord HILL ; and yesterday the Times declared that the Memorandum " washed Lord HILL clean of the declamatory charges brought against him by the Radical newspapers." It does not, however, dear him of the charges urged by the Times, and the words we have quoted from that journal of Wednesday and Friday accuse Lord HILL of being unmerciful, partial, and unjust. The Admiralty have, at least of late, most dili gently done their duty, and have sent to the Medi terranean as fine a fleet as ever left the shores of England.. Compared to our Ships (luring last war, when every fifth man was a foreigner, and every third man almost a land-lubber, with little or no practice in gunnery, our fleet at present is well manned, though not so numerously supplied with seamen as we think it ought to be, and the sea men arc well practised in the use of guns. They arc now displaying their skill in Syria most success fully. For these exertions the Admiralty has been brutally attacked by the Times, and Lord HILL, for screening Lord CARDIGAN, is now protected by that Jeurnal against the charges of the Radical newspapers. Such virtuous and patriotic consis tency must recommend our Contemporary to the public as a worthy adviser and cafe political guide. It even went so far yesterday as to praise the Memorandum, as " marked throughout by unex ceptionable calmness, temper, and feeling," an d " as using the language of distinct, grave, and stern reproof." Our judgment, more infirm, we presume, than that of our Contemporary, cannot adopt his conclusion. A more undignified piece of twaddle than the Memorandum of Lord HILL I never fell under our notice, unless it was some one L of the speeches of Mrs. NICRLZBY, when she talks ' of "birds singing putting her in mind of roast pork and apple sauce, because she had once dined on roast pork and apple sauce, and a little bird sung, that was not a little bird, but a large parrot, and the roast pmk was not roast pork, but a goose stuffed with sage and onions." It is, however, quite worthy of Lord HILL'S conduct through the whole CARDIGAN affair. By his proceedings he has made himself responsible for the conduct of the Earl of CARDIGAN and the Court-martial, and for everything they have done and said, for he has con firmed and approved them all. Whatever, therefore, there has been un-officerlike or ungentlemanly in the conduct of the former, or harsh amd unjust in the conduct o the latter, all the blame of that must fall on Lord HILL. If, as the Times properly says, Lord CARDIGAN ought to retire from the army, nothing but a spirit of partizanship keeps it from saying, as we do, that Lord HILL ought to retire from the Horse Guards. jlu the early part of the month of September, w•e callcd attention to the Report of the New Zealand Committee. We then felt our ourselves obliged to object to the WA K EFIELD system of colonization. and to defend against its advocates, the individual colonization of New Zealand, which has already taken place to a considerable extent, and which they, for their own purposes, have cried down as full of criminality. We now beg leave to call atten tion to an article extracted from the Spectator, de scribing the present condition of the colony of South Australia, established on the WAKEFIELD prin deaebrst, in which, by the bye, that the Governor has p c e d B t y b et colony t it he seems very much to have imitated the home autho rities under which it was placed, and put a stop to that influx of labourers on which its presumed prosperity was to depend. That was the bait held out to capitalists, and though caught, they will get nothing mum, apparently, than the hook. On September the 7th and 9th, we pointed out from the Fourth II eport of the Colonization Commis sioners, that the WAKEFIELD plan of setting down complete an old society in the wilderness, had been t tended with many of the charges of such a society ,shout its conveniences. In the South Austra- Tian Reand, of September 26, we find some addi tional facts bearing on this point, which arc worthy of notice. It quotes from the South Australian, of April 21, a statement that flour was then selling at from 601. to 701. a ton, while it was from 361. to 401. at Sydney, and in Hobart-town from 381. to 421. The 411). loaf was selling for 3s. 6d. or four times the price in England. From the Southern Australian, of March 19, it quotes an account of two men being executed, but for what offence it does not say. They are desetibcd as hardened villains, who had escaped from punishment in the other colonies, and their punishment collected a considerable crowd. The other prisoners against whom sentence of death was passed were reprieved, and their sentence commuted to perpetual banishment. The same journal is quoted as the authority for stating that " chain gangs of criminals arc to be employed in the public works," and that an act of incendiarism had destroyed a haystack. Mr. WAKEFIELD may undoubted!) boast of having transplanted an old society into anew country, one which carries with it most of the crimes of the mother country without its conveniences. (MI t.% In the Southern Australian, of Ma'reh 26, as quoted in the Record, it is stated that robberies have become frequent recently. With this state of internal society, robberies frequent, incendiarism beginning, murder perpetrated,. food scarce, and a Government loaded and loading the colony with debt, is it not a farce to say that the WAKE FIELD system is successful ? Immense resources indeed have been tempted into the concern by flat tering representations. More capital has been employed in establishing the colony than sufficed to establish all the North American provinces, and the result is little better than dearth, demoraliza- tion, and distress.. "To all these disadvantages we see no set-off but a continual demand, on the pars: of those who have gone thither, for more hands and more labour. They want more companions their misery, and more toil to be extracted from half. famished contending competitors for employment. It must not be supposed that the extravagance of Colonel GAwLER is some accidental thing. A Governor entrusted with his power, and uncon trolled by the governed on the spot, will be sure to he guilty, according to his taste, of some such ex travagance, and will follow his own caprice. No one of the Governors has yet given satisfaction. Captain HINDMARSU, as well as Colonel GAW LER, got the colony into trouble. It is the neces sary osystem, that the colony must independent of the people c haver i sc (l a u Governorence o f Such a colony , even if founded and con d uc t e d on tlejo int-sto aektm principle,hoe would have, in a Board of t Directors as well as in its confidant in the colony, such a Governor ; and whenever his interest or caprice led him to do wrong, he would do it. Colonel WAKEFIELD has not yet been proved, but we anticipate for him no more noble career than has distinguished Captain HIND. bIARSII and Colonel GAWLER. In estimating the success of the colony, it is cus- t om ary to compare it with our older colonies, when navigation was imperfect, and when the hard ships which colonists had to strugg le wit h were much greater than at present, and , from sheer ignorance, could not be provided against. Th e only modern . colony with which it can be justly a s f abortiontoin the ea tfi rSwanst suffered River, to rui n wh ere comparedprivate is b cupidity the settlement.

This monarch, whose mental incapacity lad to a family agreement, during the life-time of the Emperor FRANCIS, for changing the order of succession, begins to find the questions which now agitate Europe too much for his feeble intellect, and the statesman upon whose shoulders the burthen of Government hitherto rested, no longer enjoys the health essential to the discharge of such high func tions. Should, however, the Eastern Question be speedily and amicably settled, it is not improbable that the Emperor will continue to reign for a few years longer. The Archduke FRANCIS CHARLES JOSEPH, who is already named as the successor of his brother FERDINAND, is in the thirtieth year of his age, and has a family of three sons and a daughter. Rumour speaks of him as an amiable and accomplished Prince, of great na tural abilities, and well acquainted with the duties of government. Prince METTERNICH is said to have told Lord BEAUVALE and others that the last proposal of ' concession made by MEIIEmET ALI ought to have been accepted by the Porte. This strongly indi cates the pacific views of the Austrian Cabinet. Russia, on the other hand, is alarmed at the pros pect of a reconciliation between England: and France, and is therefore for carrying everything with a high hand. If France be indeed wise enough to abandon her absurd state of isolation, and cordially re-unite herself with Great Britain, the Treaty of London will prove a bin. pill to the Autocrat. The following extracts from the French Papers embody all they contain in the shape of general nevus :- :MEETING OF THE FRENCH CHAMBERS.—An un usual number of applications for tickets to be present at the opening of the Chambers having been nude, the Qu•estors have announced that it is not in their power to (:omply with them, as the tickets appopriated to the M'inbers of the two Chambers, the diplomatic body, and, other personages, who are entitled to a preference, will, absorb the whole of the disposable places Preparatory to the opening of the Chambers work me's are assiduously employed in taking down all the worksheds and palings, and in clearing away all other obstructions to the entrances in the Palais Bour bon from the Quai D'Orsay. The front now looks like a needy-erected edifice, having been completely scraped and repaired. The peristyle, the statues on the steps leading up to the Chamber, with all the sculp turEd ornaments, are quite white. The sculpture of the pediment, representing the different departments offering their tributes to France, has not yet been un covered. M. Dupin arrived in Paris on Monday, and was im meaiately received by tha King. Admiral Rosamel bad also arrived in Paris. The Courtier de Lyon of the 27th announces that a great Reform dinner took place on the 26th, in a rner.doiv adjoining that city. Between 3,000 and 4,000 guests sat down, at immense tables, branching off from a rostrum erected in the centre. Several patriotic orations were delivered in favour of Reform, and in the evening the company re-entered the city, singing the The Gazette des Tribunaux explaines the circum stance mentioned in the Presse of Tuesday, that a man naried Placet had been arrested at St. Cloud, in pos.- sesuion of a double-barrelled fowling-piece, which had hee , a cut down to the length of a carbine, and which was loaded when this person was arrested. It would appear that Placct had his gun for the purpose of poaching, and not with the intent of assassinating some person as was suspected ; for on a gunmaker having drawn the charges of the two barrels, they were found to contain only powder and small shot. This journal adas that Flacet had been committed to Laforce on a charge of illegally carrying arms without a license. 1%1. Gisquet, the late Prefect of Police, in his memoirs calculates the number of thieves in Paris who exist by plunder at 10,000 ; of those he considers that 6,000 live by picking up stray property, and that 3,000 of the latter add to the former occupation that of picking pockets. Of these, again, ?,000 would not scruple to enter an apartment by pickicg a lock; and of those 1,000 are confirmed housebreakers ; to which may be added 600 who arc capable of adding murder to robbery. EXPORTATION OF HORSES.—TIIC Commerce, in its second edition, observes, that the A ustrian Government had determined to forbid the exportation of horses from its dominion , and publishes the following correspond caw dated Vienna, the 19th instant, to prove that Au: aria cannot, like the other governments, plead a cram, of horses for its own use to justify this restriction " VIENNA, OcT. I9.—The Austrian Government having been informed that French horsedealers were travelling through the districts of Saltzburgh and Carinthia, for the purpose of purchasing horses for account of the French army, has given the strictest orders to forbid this traffic, and to keep a strict watch that ne,horses should pass the frontier. Other French dt*ers'in horses. had travelled into Hungary for the same abject. In this latter country there is such an abndance of horses that those animals range the woods without interruption. It is only within a few years that some Armenians have rented the vast pastures situated between the Danube and the Theiss, from which they draw horses in thousands. • " It is true that the Austrian Government cannot, according to the Hungarian constitution, forbid a free trade in horses, and consequently the French horse dealers might purchase as many horses as they pleased, but it would be necessary to pass those horses out through the Austrian territory. And it ought to be observed that Austria is at present so well supplied, that it i. calculated that from 1815 to 1839 there has bcen au increased produce of:400,000 horses within the Aus trian dominions." The Swabian Mercury mentions a report which re quires confirmation, that the garrison of Mentz was about to be reinforced to two-thirds of the force neces sary for the war establishment. The Correspondent de Nurenzburg announces, that the Emperor of Austria has sent the cordon of Maria Theresa to the Archduke Frederick, for his conduct at Beyrout." A letter from the frontiers of Italy, says,— The Sardinian Government astonished at the extraor dinary armaments of France, particularly on the Piedmontese frontier, has resolved to be ready to make a vigorous defence, and, in the first instance, to place the artillery on the war establishment." W e have a letter from the frontiers of Spain, which says, that " on a report being spread that the French Government was having Perpignan fortified, as well as some other places oni the frontier of Roussillon, four Spanish regiments have marched from Catalonia to forma camp of observation on that side." It is .observed that within these few days there is a very frequent exchange of couriers between the English Government and its Ambassador at Madrid. It is said that M. Guizot gives up the plan of fortify ing Paris.—Gazette de France. The Toulonnai.l of the 23d gives the following news : —" It is affirmed to-day that the whole of the Levant squadron returns:to Toulon. The Meteore steam boat, it is said, has taken orders to Admiral Hugon to return with all his troops. " What seems to confirm this report is, that the here, which had a cargo of provisions for the Levant squa dron, has put back to our port, and is shortly to sail to the river Plate." Admiral Rosamel has arrived at Paris. M. Dupin arrived at Paris yesterday evening, and immediately waited on the King.—Le Constilutionnel. BRUSSELS, OCT. 28._Official.—The Ottoman Go vernment caused notice to be given on the 24th of Sept. to the Minister resident of Belgium at Constantinople, that the b'oelcadc of the ports of Syria and Egypt would commence on the 17th of Oct.—ilioniteur Beige. Prince Cantacuzeno (a Wallachian nobleman) and his family have arrived at Brussels from Bucharest. A letter from Berlin of the 19th October says : " Negotiations are still going on relative to the recogni tion of the neutrality of Belgium in case of an European war. King Leopold appears to have taken advantage of this opportunity to approximate to Russia, by endea vouring to prove how necessary the present state of affairs rendered the presence of a representative of Rus sia in Belgium.

SUGAR FROM INDIA.-Mr. Gladstone, the prime mover of transporting Hill Coolies to British Guiana and the Mauritius, which Lord Brougham so eloquently and successfully denounced, has now discovered that a more profitable plan may be adopted by employing them at home in the cultivation of sugar in India. in which project his friends say he is expending 100,000/. He has openly declared that through the course of his long commercial life " he never knew what it was to make money till now." THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE.

EVENI NG EDITION. GUILDHALL —(THIS Da, Y•) CAUTION TO NVOIIKINIEN.—J den IV yse, a workman in the employ of Mr. Bryant, tinman, Barbican, mug placed at the bar before Mr. Alderman Magnay, charged with stealing four metal pots, and implements, value 31., the property of his employer. Mr. Bryant stated that he had recently been robbed of tools to a great extent by some of his workmen, and the manner in which he was robbed by the prisoner was exceedingly cunning and barefaced. On Saturday evening last the prisoner told him that there were four old melting pots lying by- of no use, for which he would give Is. 4d. each, being, fi e said, quite as much as they were worth. Mr. Bryant: told him not to touch them, and that he (Mr. B.) would look at them on Monday morning, and see what they were worth. The prisoner, however, immediately after his master's baek was turned took away the pots and sold them, with a soldering iron, value 2s. Gd., the property of his master, for old metal. The conduct of the prisoner was exceeding ungrateful, as Mr. B. had some time ago assisted him with the loan of money to bury his wife, and whilst I/. was still due the prisoner left his work for six weeks at a time when Mr. B. was much pressed to execute a foreign order. The prisoner was remanded until Tuesday, to give the complainant an opportunity of ascertaining whether the tools sold by the prisoner were his property or not. MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS. (PROM A CORRESPONDENT.) The impending Municipal Elections are matter s of more than ordinary interest at this moment. The • Tories well know that the strongholds of Reform, of freedom, and of Constitutional Government are in the municipal boroughs and cities. Once sap these, by fraud, by bribery, by intimidation, by increased activity, or by any other means, and then they carr calculate on their long hoped-for return to the sweets of office, to their old and halcyon days of plunder, power, and oppression. It behoves, there fore, all Reformers who look to higher objects than local triumphs, to put their shoulders to the wheel, skid to prove, that whatever may be the influence of Toryism among ignorant and manacled farmer-ten ants, enlightened and comparatively uninfluenced burgesses and citizens, are as sound at heart as ever. Liverpool at this moment is furnishing a noble example to all municipal constituencies. With a large proportion of old freemen, with the influence of the last election of Members of Parliament against them, with all the artifices of seduction, the threats of intimidation, profligate bribery and in toxication, men arc rallying at the call of their old champions for Reform and for public rights, and thousands are meeting almost nightly, in one ward or another, to listen to the speeches of the Rathbones, Curries, Branckners, and Blackburns. Public virtue, aided by a consistent private life, and commanding intel lectual powers, will have its way. It is a noble sight to behold such a man as William Rathbonc, the first Reform Mayor, and whose mayoralty was so truly just and impartial that even the Tories de clare it to be unimpeachable—it is a noble sight to behold him, notwithstanding his advanced age, ad dressing thousands upon thousands, night by night, with all the ardour and fervour of youth and pa triotism, in favour of the cause of the people, of public good, and public rights against private and selfish interests, and fanatic opposition to general education. The two chief grounds on which the Tories rest their attacks on Liberal town-council lors, is the support which the latter have given to dock warehouses for the protection of property, and of education to all, without limit as to sect or party. "By your rejected dock warehouses, you will lessen the value of the warehouses that many private persons have at prcz,ent," say the Tories. " We shall not," reply the Reformers, " because the measure will so increase the business of the port, by giving protection to goods, which does not now exist, that the increased demand for warehouse accommodation will rather add to the value of such property ; and, besides, we have private warehouses as well as you." Again, as to education, the Tories say, ".No Dissenter should be allowed to have anything to do with public education, unless he or his children will conform to the Church of England." The Reformers answer, " We will not doom to perpetual ignorance tens of thousands of poor Roman Catholics and Dissen t tern, solely to accommodate your real or affected de votion to a State Church." " Then out you Shall go," is the reply. It is time to correct these evils, and many others connected with municipal elections. In Liverpool and in Leeds, for the Tories are objecting to thousands, and the Liberals following their exam ple, registration has not only been a perfect farce,, but a most expensive, annoying, and intolerable nuisance. Perhaps this evil might, to some ex tent, be remedied, by making the registration trien nial, and not allowing any man of straw to object by wholesale, without some security for costs or loss 'of time. These, however, are subjects re quiring discussion, too long to be contprised in one communication. CONCERTS D'HIVER.-THEATRE ROYAL DRURY LANE. —These musical performances attract all_ the leading fashionables in London. Among the visitors lag evening we observed the following :—Duke and Duchess of Leilister, Baroness Biome, Baroness Cetto, Duchess Cannizzaro, Lord Muskorry, Lord Tenterdcn, Lord Kildare, Count Alfred D'Orsay, Lord Burghersh, M. O'Forrall, Esq., Lord Mount Edgecombe, Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, &c., &c. THE ROYAL CHEESE.—This famed produce of seven hundred and fifty cows progresses well in its ad vancement to ripeness and perfection, at the farm of Mr. Dunkerton, of West Pennard, and still continues to attract visitors from all parts of the country. No pariicular time is fixed for presentation, nor is it yet determined in what manner it is to be conveyed to London, but it is in contem plation it shall be drawn thither by eight of the finest and most beautiful cows the West of England can produce. The interment of the remains of the late Lord Holland took place, as announced, on the afternoon of Wednesday last, at the parish church of Melbroke, near Anipthill, Bedfordshire. At half-pact two o'clock the cavalcade resched the church, at the entrance of which it was met by the Rev. George Carter Cardalc, M. A., the son of the Rector. The solemn ritual of the Church was then read by Mr. Catdalc, jun., and at its conclusion the coffin was deposited in a new brick grave which had been prepared in the chancel, closely adjoining to that of his late Lordship's daughter, who was buried on the 9th of No. vernbcr, 1819. The inscription on the plate of the coffin was as follows : _ _ _ Henry Richard Vassall Lord HOLLAND, Born 21st November, 1773, Died 22d Oct. 1840. THE LATE LOSS OF LIFE IN THE IRWELL. —On Wednesday afternoon an inquest was held at the Britannia public. house, Ordsnl-lane, Salford. before Mr." W. S. Rutter, coroner, on the bodies of Clare, Davies, Royle, and Mendoscroft, four of the seven individuals who perished in the 'men. The facts adduced before the Co roner did not, however, materially vary from the facts al ready published, and the Jury returned a verdict to the ef fect that the parties came by their deaths accidentally. The greatest commiseration is felt for the unhappy families thus thrown into such deep distress, and no doubt public sym. pathy will be manifested in a much more substantial form than mere words. foIIyLORD artd extravagance C AFt. p i CARDIGAN.--In AN already' I Cardigan in defiance of rubli n pe a r d p d et it r io t n d to b the acts of outraging e n r ion 3 a ,:a ) n a d n y n appended to the list play-bills this (l (Friday, O c et e o P tr i ' y, \ it , appears that one more is to be best feelings of soviet • I % e are informed that the Brighton formance " uncle a r the officers patronage of the tr o t of Cardigan and . lk. public will not be at ' a tcsesr t s o of the .

Some few evenings since the Brighton theatre was in an uproar, in consequence of three cheers being called for Captain Reynolds, and three groans for the Earl of Cardigan; and his Lordship might now desire to test public opinion , as he imagines, by buying up the ticket s , and packing the house with his hirelings prior to the com mencement of the performances.
