A people of strong feel ings revoked against this perversion of justice, and too often took counsel from vengeance. It has often been alleged that a proneness to perjury was characteristic of the lower orders of Irishmen. Can we wonder that men, who have no confid ence i n t h e fairness of theii, tri bunals should acquire a habit of indulging in prevarica tion to escape from injustice ? It is obvious that as the evil originated in a want of confidence in the adminis tration of justice, the remedy was to he found in such changes as should beget in the Irish that confidence. Under Lord Normanby's administration, the experiment was first made of administering justice fairly and im partially. No. 14,967. LONDON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 28, 1840.

(THURSDAY EVENING.) TIMES.—This was settling-day in the Consol Market, and the transactions were important and unusually com plicated. This arose chiefly from the effect of the options on the market, and also from very large sales of stock by parties who contrived to mask the operation till the last moment, and consequently took the market in great mea sure by surprise. The market was so overloaded with stock, that it was very difficult to dispose of it, and those who held it were obliged, therefore, to submit to fr very high rate of continuation in providing for it. This account altogether has been more remarkable than any which has preceded it for a very long time for the fluctuations which have occurred during its progress. On the Bth ult. the quotation was 921 to from which there was a decline with very little intermission to 89k, which was the quotation of the 2d inst. ; afterwards there was a rally going onto the 10th inst. to 91 I, when another reaction took place, and on the 22d the quo tation was 89k, being then at the lowest. The mar ket has partially recovered in the interval, but has left off to-day at only 89f to The last quotation to-day for the. October account is 90 to The gloom of the market to-day was a good deal increased by the failure of Mr. R. Podmore, a broker of high respecta bility and long standing, who is supposed to have been deeply engaged in speculations for a rise. His differ ences are very considerable, but the transactions of other parties connected with his account were under stood to have been nearly adjusted at the close of to day's business. [ period of their difficulties as will best insure equal justice to all their creditors ; and that a more effectual remedy should be applied against those who would avoid or delay the performance of this act of justice. The remedy recommended by the Commissioners is, that a creditor having delivered the particulars of his debt to the debtor with demand of payment should, on affidavit of the facts, be entitled to a summons to compel the appearance of the debtor, and to ascertain upon oath whether he believes he has a good answer to the demand; the object being, where the debt is clear and indisput able, and the debtor neither pays the sum admitted into court nor to the creditor, nor finds security to pay within a reasonable time, that such default should be taken as a proof of insolvency, and the property of the debtor should become amenable to the law for equal distribution.

To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We kave no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease, which for want of a careful investigation of its real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work be astonished to find that in nine tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits, practised by youth much more fre quently than is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed, and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often concealed practicEs so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real cause of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character, is at once concentrated the twofold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the naturo of those habits, to which youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them, if nut relinquished.

CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their residence,: No. 7, Frith-street, Soho, from Ton till Three, and Five till Eight in the Evening; and Country Patients are re quested to be as minnto as possible in the detail of their cases, —as to the duration of the complaint, the symptoms, age, ge neral habits of living, and occupation in life of the party ; the communication must be accompanied by the " usual Consulta tion Fee of 1/.," without which no notice whatever can be taken of their application ; anti in all cases, the most inviolable secrecy may be relied on.

CERTAIN GROWTH of HAIR.—A Gen tleman just returned from a Tour in the East, and a long residence in Constantinople, offers to the Public a CER TAIN REMEDY for the CURE or PREVENTION of BALDNESS. The TURKISH HAIR BALSAM is the preparation of Othman Mustapha, Surgeon-Barber to his Majesty Abdul-Medjid, Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, by whom the Advertisers are authorised to make known this valu able discovery. The miraculous properties of MUSTAPH A'S BALSAM are unrivalled; the trial of a single bottle will re move the doubts of the most sceptical. In the course of a few days the young Hair may be clipped with fine scissars. In use it will be found singularly agreeable, and as a dressing for Real or False Hair, surpasses anything hitherto known. A Depot having been established in London, at No. 10, Maddox-street, ilegent-street, the TURKISH HAIR BAL SAM may be had therP in Bottles, at fjs. and 9s. each, or in large Bottles containing the quantity of three, at 98s. each.

The meeting terminated yesterday, with a degree of success which, considering the indifferent character of the racing on Tuesday and Wednesday, must have agreeably disappointed its patrons. The bill of fare consisted of four events, including that attractive dish the Queen's " Plate," which furnishes the important adjective " grand" to the third day at Runnymede ; it attracted a very large company, including most of the leading families resident in the neighbourhood, the betting and all the other stands were full, and lessees admitted that business has been sufficiently brisk to console them for a woeful lack of it on the previous days.

A letter which had been given by Sarni Bey to the Viceroy on his return from the Porte, and which had been supposed to be a Hatti Scheriff from the Sultan, turned out to be a reply of the Porte on the subject of the restitu tion of the fleet, with Ahmed Ferzi, the Capitan Pacha, and the other Beys, whom the Sultan said he would not receive, considering them t o b e t ra i tors . Immediately on th e departure of M. Perier on the 27th of July, orders were given to complete the militia, and arrangements were made to give to the fleet six months of the pay, which is eleven months in arrear. The Turkish fleet, during the period it has been in Egypt, has lost 4,200 men by local com plaints. The superior officers, it is said, would not re turn to Turkey if they might, while, on the contrary, those of inferior rank pi ne f or their homes. The intel ligence received by Mehemet Ali on the 29th of July, that the Conference at London had proved unfavourable to his wishes, and that France would be obliged to unite with the other Powers, seemed to make a strong impression upon him, though not to overcome him. It is thought that he is disposed to abandon Arabia, since Ibrahim Pacha (the nephew) had embarked for Cosier, with two regiments from Jedda on the 15th of July, and it was considered probable that the four other regiments would follow. The Pacha asserts that he has 130,000 men in Syria. It is known, as a fact, that the army of Marasch is composed of 26,000, that there are 8,000 in Selim Pacha's division, and an equal number under Osman Pacha. The garrison of Acre consists of 12,000 men, and those of several other places may be roughly estimated at 8,000, with 10,000 irregular troops. To these may be added 20,000 sent to Beyrout to quell the insurrection, and this is all that is actually known as to the number of troops in Syria, except as far as credence may be given to the assertion of the Pacha. Ammunition is conti nually sent to Syria from Alexandria as soon as it ar rives from Cairo. At Marasch, in the camp of Ibra him Pacha, are Beys of all the countries bordering on Russia. Letters received from Beyrout at Alexandria, on the 28th of July, announced the complete restora tion of tranquillity, and stated that the chiefs of the insurgents, viz., the Emirs Faour, Hassan, Ali, and the son of the Emir Abbas, were taken, and were sent to Acre to be put in irons. The insurgents about Tripoli bad been dispersed, and only five chiefs of the Druses, with about 2,000 men, were still in a state of revolt. The Rear-Admiral Mustapha Pacha had arrived at Alexandria from Beyrout. The Nile was increasing, and on the Ist instant a dike leading to the canal of Old Cairo was cut. At Alexandria the fortifications were under repair, ammunition was distributed, and there were strong symptoms of a fanatical feeling against the Christians. The arrival of Sir Moses Montefiore at Alexandria is said to have caused the greatest joy among the Jews of Egypt. On being introduced to the Pacha, Sir Moses Montefiore read the following speech : " Having heard in Europe of the tortures to which several Israelites (subjects of your Highness) have been subjected for the purpose of extorting involuntary confessions, and because the shedding of blood is pro hibited in the Jewish religion, we have come in behalf of those of our religion in England, France, and all Europe, to seek for justice at the hands of your High ness, and that this affair may be submitted to inquiry. We are aware that as soon as your Highness was in formed of the unheard-of horrors that were being committed at Damascus, your Highness immediately gave orders for their discontinuance. We in voke the fame which your Highness hal acquired at the cost of so much courage with the whole civil ized world. We have come calmly and without hatred to request of your Highness a firman which will em power us freely to examine the transaction. That the firman be registered here, in the archives, and officially despatched to the Governor-General, who will publish it in the streets of Damascus. That we be permitted to see the accused as often as we may require." Mehemet Ail received Sir Moses with much cour tesy, and although the discourse had not yet been trans lated into Turkish, as it is intended, expressed his satis faction. At the last date of the intelligence (Aug. 7) the Viceroy had just left Alexandria for the Delta, where he has estates that be keeps cultivated for his own use. His return was expected in a fortnight. The Russian Consul left Alexandria at the same time. CH RONICLE.— The settlement in Consols which took place to-day was to a larger extent in amount than we have had occasion to notice for a very long period. The extreme quotations have amounted to about 3 per cent., which, combined with the intermediate fluctua tions, has caused much embarrasrnent to the jobbers in the management of their options, and made the differ ences payable by speculators to be unusually large. The continuation which bad been ranging for the last two or three days past at 1, to 7-16ths, increased today to per cent., which was currently given ; thus rendering money worth upwards of 5 per cent, to the 14th of October, and at the same time showing the account now brought to a close to have been a heavy Bull ac count. The minutes of evidence and appendix annexed to the Report of the Commissioners for inquiry into bank ruptcy and insolvency present e d to b o th H ouses o f Par liament, by command of her Majesty, contain a valuable mass of information on those subjects, extending over 567 closely printed pages. The report itself is most important, as evincing the opinions of several eminent men upon the defects of our system of bankruptcy, and is peculiarly useful to the non-professional reader for its concise and clear defini tions. The object of the bankrupt law, it observes, is the equal distribution of the effects of traders who can not meet their engagements ; its ordinary consequence is, the release of such traders from all future liability of their persons and after-acquired property. The object of the law for the relief of insolvent debtors is, the per sonal discharge of honest debtors—prolonged imprison ment, by way of punishment, for the dishonest and frau dulent—and a fair distribution of their present effects and future acquired property amongst their creditors ; the bankruptcy law being confined to traders, and the law of insolvency available to debtors generally, whether traders or not, who have suffered a certain imprisonment. The Report then briefly remarks that there are defects in both systems; the first affording no efficient means for the punishment of dishonest debtors, and the second equally inefficient for the discovery of property ; the exclusion of " small traders" from the benefit of the bankrupt laws is dwelt upon with due severity. Nothing, it is ob served, can be more unjust than that they should be imprisoned until the absence of fraud is proved by exa mination and inquiry, because their debts are small, while those whose debts are sufficiently large should en joy security from imprisonment unless fraud be esta blished. The principle of the law, no doubt, is, that those who take the benefit of the Insolvent Act arc persons not traders, who have contracted debt through improvidence, and that those who undergo the ordeal of the bankrupt laws are persons engaged in mercantile affairs, who have bean reduced from misfortune to in solvency ; but the report states, that the greatest num ber of those who pass through the Insolvent Debtors' Court are persons whose state was contemplated by the law of bankruptcy, but trading on a smaller scale than those who are usually made bankrupts. It appears by the Gazette, in the year 1839, that there were 3,691 petitions filed in the Insolvent Debtors' Court, as follows . Non traders 1,036 Traders Donbtful 3,691 So that two-thirds of the number were traders withi9, the meaning of the Bankrupt Law, 4f4g PQin,ting cut the unjust distinction which 0.9,1 517 f 0 bankruptcy confers upon 919 wholeso debtor, in co mparison with ti'e less extensive dealer on credit, who under" • 0 „b the -et, the report re scrutiny of the Insolvent Debtors' ccinmends " that debt,. —,ements should be held out to .... ‘o make a concession of their property at such The report thereafter discusses separately the more material defects in the existing laws of bankruptcy and insolvency under classified heads, accompanied by the opinions of the Commissioners as to the best remedy under each head, and finally recommends a union of the Courts by which the laws relating to bankrupts and insolvent debtors are now administered and for that purpose to place all insolvent estates under one uniform system of law, as the Commissioners justly observe that they can see no good reason why the es tate of one debtor, who is unable to pay his debts in full, should be administered in a different manner from that of another debtor under the same disability. This recommendation of uniformity naturally and unavoida bly led the Commissioners to a full consideration of the law of imprisonment for debt, its policy, and practi cal results ; and the conclusion which they arrive at is, that the mischief ought to be obviated, not by provisions designed for the mere mitigation of its consequences, but by removing the crise, by limiting the power of imprisonment itself, and confining it to cases where it is warranted on the plain and just principle of preventing the debtor from fraudulently absconding or removing his property beyond the reach of justice, or for the punishment of actual fraud, or compelling the debtor, after judgment, either to pay his debt or to make a cession of the whole of his property for the benefit of his creditors. Beyond this, they say that imprison ment is neither warranted in principle nor beneficial in practice ; and this language applies with peculiar force to arrest on final process, which, combined with the insolvent law, leads to the imprisonment of numbers merely to be discharged without oppovition at the end of a few weeks. This is fully borne out by returns produced to the Commissioners since the abolition of mesne process, by which it appears that in the Court of Insolvent Debtors from the Ist of October, 1838, to the Ist of December, 1839, being fourteen months, the number of town cases ordered to be heard was ... 1,679 Of these there were out of custody before the day of hearing ... ~, ~, ••• 58 Discharged unopposed 1,147 Discharged opposed ... 474 Of the opposed remanded for punishment 141 Country cases during the same period 2,226 Of these, there were out of custody before the day of hearing ••• ~, ••• ... 112 Discharged unopposed ... ... 1,441 Discharged opposed ... ... 673 Of the opposed remanded for punishment ... 220 We have not space to follow the report into an examination of the answer which they make to the objection that the abolition of arrest in execution would encourage the contracting of debts improvi dently ; nor is this necessary, for every one knows that the distant contingency of imprisonment in exe cution has very little influence at present in regard to the contracting of debts, and to those who are of the worst description of debtors a prison is really no pun ishment—while it too frequently breaks the heart, or at least Contaminates the mind, of the unfortunate class of debtors. It appears that there is at present no less a sum than 486,0001. Three per Cent. Stock in the Bank of England, the annual interest on which is available for the expenses of the Court ; and there is every rea son to believe that another large sum for the same pur pose will be collected under the old bankruptcies in the country, from which and other sources, the Commis sioners calculate there will be raised a sum fully ade quate for the maintenance of the proposed Court, upon a proper scale, without opposing any additional burden on the finances of the country. HERALD.—The settlement of the account was operated to-day, and notwithstanding the extraordinary extent of the fluctuations since the previous settlement in July one dealer only was named in default, whose dif ferences were not of any amount worth noticing. The opinion ventured yesterday turns out to be correct, for it was a " bull" account. It appears that the public have latterly been bringing stock to market, although assuredly the heavier quantities have been delivered in the Jew account, the pretence of which is that the low prices to which the French funds have fallen have tempted that class of dealers and others to sell Consols for the purpose of investing in French Rentes. Private advices from Paris, and from accredited sources, en tirely negative any such assertion. It is much more likely that sales of Consols have been effected hero to realize the cash for payment of the Rentes brought there by wholesale in the way of speculation, but without the slightest intention of permanent investment. The effect of the options declared yesterday, together with the class of manoeuvres practising here and abroad, was a depression in the price of Consols from 90,i, having been 90i to the day belore, to 891 to -a. SUN.—The settlement, in which so many, not only of 1 the jobbers, but also of the brokers were so deeply inter ested, was of course the principal object of attention to day, and went off, with a struggle certainly, but, never theless, quite as favourably as could have been antici pated, considering the ups and downs of the last three weeks. A good number of persons were glad to pay as much as one-half and five-eighths per cent., to put off the evil day, and save themselves from being called on to make good their differences until October, and stock being brought freely to market to make up the amounts required, Consols gradually receded from 908 to 89,i, the closing price for money. For account the range was frorn,9o to 90 ; Exchequer Bills receded to 21s. premium. - The transactions in the Foreign Stocks were ex tremely unimportant, and prices all took rather a lower range. Portuguese Bonds, owing to the fact having become generally known that the Budget of the Finance Minister of Donna Maria shows a deficiency again to some amount in receipts as compared with expenditure, have declined to 34 1 1 and 35i for the New Five per Cents., and 22i for the Three per Cents. Colombian Bonds of 1824 were heavy at 24 to ; Brazilian at 79i ; and Spanish Actives at a decline from 25} to 25a 1 1 4 . ; Dutch Two-and•a-Half per Cents. alternated from 511 to 521 ; and French Five per Cents.ros e to 112 f. 25c. In the Railway Shares there has been a slight re-ac tion to-day, consequent on the state of affairs in the English market. The sales were to a moderate extent only, but generally at lower prices. The deodand levied on the Eastern Counties Railway Company, re duced the value of their shares to 11 and 111 discount. The Great Western receded to 2.5 and 26 premium, the new to 91 to 10 premium ; the South Western, ; the Hull and Selby, 2 ; and the New North Midland to 1:1 premium. The Birminglialn Quarter Shares were at 221 premium ; Brighton at discount. London Joint-Stock Bank were at premium. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAT.

So long as the rent could be levied on the wretched Irish without the extremity of a repeal agitation, Mr. O'Connell was con t en t t o d ra i n th e p oor man's pock e t of its mit e , an d bli n k a ques ti on so embarrassing to his confederate s i n th e G overnmen t. B u t th e p eo pl e , find ing that year followed year without yielding any prin., 1- cal return for their often-repeated alms, began to hold back, till the extent of the defalcation brought en awkward warning to the party most concerned, that unless he could give his tributaries something for their money, it would soon be forthcoming no longer. Ttie Corpor a ti on Bill h as b een tr i ed ;n vain. The Irish people could never be persuaded to take an interest about it. Catholic emancipation has long been com plete ; and the commutation into rent-charge has removed the real, practical vexation—the collec tion of tithe. The repeal of the union is ill: only remaining topic for an excitement ; and it has this recommendation—that it addresses itself to the national pride. Mr. O'Connell has accordingly adopted it ; and, though in all probability he will work it with a very gentle movement in the House of Com mons, it will doubtless be the grand war-horse on which he will parade himself throughout the vacation in the eves of the rent-paying " bondsmen." But if he is an insatiable mendicant, he is also a crafty lawyer. He keeps carefully to the windward of an Act of Parlia ment. The statute of the 36th of George 111., chap. 7, made perpetual by the 57th of the same reign, chap. 6, enacts, that any person who shall compass or intend to deprive the King, his heirs or successors, of the style, honour, or kingly name of the imperial crown of this realm, or of any other of his Majesty's dominions or countries, and shall express such compassing or intention by any overt act, shall, on conviction, " be deemed, declared, and adjudged, to be a traitor." Ay, but, say the apostles of Repeal, what we pro pose for Ireland is not to deprive our Sovereign of that kingdom. Our associations, our speeches, our writings, our other proceedings of what kind soever, are intended only to separate the Parliaments, not the Royalties, of the two islands ; and therefore they are no overt acts of treason. But great masses of men are not to be kept in check by such cobweb threads. They break away at once towards the true substantial object for which they are convened. Accordingly, a Roman Catholic priest, somewhat less of a Jesuit than certain of his brethren, becomes unable to restrain his im petuosity, and fairly tells the Mayo repeal meeting at Castlebar, that if they fail to get repeal, they must at.. tempt to get separation,—that is, if the united ParFx ment refuse to rescind the Act of Union, the two coun tries must be severed by an agency in which Parliament will have no share. (From the Morning , Advertiser.) Timon of Athens might have learnt a lesson in hating and Ernulphus amplified his curse had they lived to see the bitterness of the Tories towards Lords Normanby and Ebrington. Periodically breaking forth, as Rib andism and Repeal afford it the watchwords, it seeks, by exhibiting those Lords to the public as the authors and abettors of treason and anarchy, to make opinion subservient to party revenge. It was to be expected that an aristocracy and its agents, which Grattan has called "a subordination of vultures," in a social system or hierarchy, exhibiting a decreasing series of rights, of which the first term consisted of the absolute power of a chosen few, and the other terms of the more or less abject slavery of the rest, should be astonished and in furiated upon being reminded by an Irish "Viceroy's orders, that " property had its duties as well as its rights." It was natural that his courage in en forcing this maxim should earn their undying revenge. That was cause and effect. There fore we are not surprised at hearing the head of the Irish Government as well as the whole Whig Cabinet, charged with the offences of Ribandism and Repeal of the Union, both of which, we are told, re-act upon and reciprocally excite each other. Taking advantage of the present agitation in Ireland for a Repeal of the Union, which they know to be justly unpopular in England, the Tories hope, by virtue of the counter-cry of the kingdom, " One and Indivisible," to gain the ascendancy, and divert the attention of the public from the causes which lead the Irish to demand Repeal. This is the point we should ever keep in view. When the Tories call out to crush Repeal, let us ask ourselves whether, if the Conservative faction had granted the just Legislative Reforms in Ireland, that cry would have ever arisen ? United by an equality of rights and laws, the Irish would not have been so blinded as to have rejected the advantages of increased strength, additional capital, and an unlimited market for their labour, which the connexion with England insures, were it not for the mighty moral principle which rejects all worldly advantages bought at, tue price of a spiritual degradation. (From the Morning Herald.) In another part of the Herald will be for, n d an ac count of a meeting at Manchester in refr.rence to the condition of India. At that meetin- ‘ , Mr. G eorge Thompson and Mr. O'Connell were the principal speakers. With the exception of a certain leaning to tree-trade opinions, which may be discerned in the speech of Mr. Thompson--and with the exception of the coarsenesses which are portion of Mr. O'Connell's nature—the sentiments of both on this great question appear sound, and em i nent l y deserving of public atten tion. The industry of India is subjected to a fiscal ty ranny such as rarely, if ever, has desolated any other country. The resources of India are almost boundless._.. yet famine stalks almost incessantly throughout her provinces—her soil is uncultivated—her children are doomed to involuntary ieleness. While the Indian Go vernment seeks to extract gold from the natives, by all the arts which a Government can employ, no efforts arc made by the rulers of India to add, to the slightest possible extent, to the productiveness of Indian industry, No :---the business of the Government of that glorious empire would seem to be simply to clutch money, by the rudest, coarsest, and most destructive expedients. The existence of such a tax as the Indian land-te,x is disgraceful alike to the East India Company, and to the Parliament of Great Britain. Amongst tlie almost infinite uses to which the soil of India might be turned, the cultivation of the cotton plant is one of the most important. The cotton manufacture of England rests, at this moment, on most narrow and insecure foundations. A. lsrge portion of our population depends on that manu facture for daily bread. That manufacture becomes year by year less profitable, and at the same time far more liable to the risks of obstruction and subver sion. The reasons of this unsatisfactory state of things do not lie far from the surface. We have, in the in tensity of that competition wh'ioh free trade principles naturally generate, rendered ourselves unwisely de pendent on the cotton, growers of the United States. The producers of tl,:e raw material form our chief fo reign re customers f z , r t h e manufactured article. We hats pushed our t:ade amongst these customers of ours with the most foolish eagerness. We have allowed them, vi:tually, to set their own prices on the products of ott. - .• industry. We manufacture cotton goods, in short, much more rapidly than the planters in the United States produce raw cottons. The consequence, natu.. rally, is that the value of the manufactured fabric is per petually sinking in the market, when compared with the value of the raw material. PRUSSIAN AMNESTY.
