THE StIN, LONLION. PRIDAY, OVEMBER, 1,18 M:

lying Standard', *•ho are really mere aciors and put
on their parts of melancholy, moping maidens, or
bullying guardians of the States, merely to please
their audiences, se'etil to have had no idea of the
effect thby were to produce in the usually quiet
bosoms of the Prebends and Minor Canons of Can-
terbury Cathedral and of the remote Squires of East
Kent. If they were only, as they rave and roar each
day, to tell their readers that they are only Nick
Bottom, and Snug, the joiner, and no true Pyra-
mus nor true Lion, they would not now have been
terrified by the echo of their own sweet voices.
Mr. BRADSHAW only repeats the sentiments of the
Times and the Standard, and the two worthies
hear them with painful regret and alarm ; he
scarcely amplifies or exaggerates the infamous ca-
lumnies of the Post, and the terrified waiting-
woman immediately heholds an " upheaving of
society"—a " great moral convulsion."
We have frequently told our Tory brethren that
they were playing a wrong game ; that excitement
is not their element ; that crusades of all kinds are
hostile to their being ; that they should always try
to hush and still the political feelings of mankind ;
should above all things, even -though they submit
to injustice, keep matters quiet ; should stir nothing.
But they have disregarded our advice, and at the
first move of their friends they are thrown, according
to their sex, into hysterics or convulsions.
There is certainly good grOund for alarm. We
do not believe a word of what the Post says about
the Tories being friendly to the principles which
placed the lire of BRUNSWICK on the throne.
On the contrary, those principles were the extension
of freedom, the promotion of toleration, the resist-
ance of priestcraft, the overthrow of monopoly, of
all which the Tories are the most ardent supporters.
What they are justly alarmed at is seeing their own
principles carried out to their proper consequences
by their friends and supporters before they are
completely ready to act on them. Mr. BRAD-
SHAW, for example, denounces the Irish as " bi-
gotted savages, hardly more civilized than the na-
tives of New Zealand, animated with a fierce, un-
dying hatred of England. Priest and layman, peer
and peasant, are alike our enemies—aliens in blood,
language, and religion." While the present game
of Sir ROBT. PEEL is to speak them fair, and cajole
them to their ruin, Mr. BRADSHAW declares that
the Tories will not submit to be governed by a
profligate Court : while the great ambition of Sir
ROBERT PEEL is to flatter her MAJESTY and
get the command at Court. Mr. BRADSHAW
refers to the abdication of JAMES 11., as an ex-
ample to be forced on somebody else; but the pru-
dent Tories endeavour most carefully to keep the
presumptive heir to her MAJESTY—the head of
the Orangemen, the favourite Sovereign of the
ultra-Protestants—Prince ERNEST of HANOVER,
out of the public sight. Mr. BRADSHAW tells
the public of the mine the Tories have been lay-
ing ; he exposes their wishes and machinations,
points out their objects and their aims, betrays
their secrets and plots, and hence partly the regret,
anguish, and terror of the Standard, Post, and
Times.

As abdication is the word, and as Prince ER-
NEST has been mentioned, let us remind the pub-
lic that this hew of the Tories is the opposite of
the hero whom the Whigs placed on the throne of
JAMES. WILLIAM was the leader of Europe in
the battle for freedom and independence. ERNEST
is the vassal of despots, that he may be a despot
himself. WILLIAM was adored by his own
subjects ; ERNEST is both despised and
hated. WILLIAM was a great warrior, if not
the greatest of his age, and a most consummate
statesman ; ERNEST is a mere military martinet,
who disgusts his own troops by cutting their clothes
and drilling them after the Prussian fashion. He
has shown his statesmanship by destroying a Con-
stitution and rendering his government dependent
on the enemies of his country. Yet this Prince
ERNEST is the man whom 'the Tories, following the
principles which placed *WILLIAM on the Throne,
would substitute for her MAJESTY, whose ab-
dication is recommended by Mr. BRADSHAW.
This gentleman's doctrines, however, are quite ap-
propriate to the place where they were delivered.
He spoke under the shade of Canterbury Cathe-
dral. His auditors were its clergy, their vassals,
dependants, and mental slaves. What is alien to
reason, to moderation, and freedom, is suitable to
them ; and, remembering the homage which they
paid to THOM, we cease to be surprized at the rap-
turous applause they showered on BRADSHAW.

The Times of yesterday said that " Popery is
not a religion, but a knavish and profligate inven-
tion for the seizure and maintenance of temporal
power ; not a school of piety or purity, but an en-
gine for coercing the free will of man." We by
no means dissent from the opinion of our enlight-
ened Contemporary, but we beg him to inform the
world of any substantial difference betwixt the Popery
which he daily vilifies, and the Church of England
which he daily praises. The Church of England,
meaning the priesthood, exclusive of the congre-
gation, derives her apostolical succession, much
of her ritual, many of her prayers, most of her
observances, all her feasts and fast days (with
one or two exceptions of modern date), the out-
line of her formation and discipline, and nine-
tenths of her creed, from that Popery which is not a
religion. She admits a Popish priest to her or-
ders, on his conforming, without objection or re-
pugnance. She acknowledges the consecration of
Rome—the holy transmission of the priestly vir-
tues—to be equal and similar to her own. On
one occasion, in the House of Lords, the present
Archbishop of CANTERBURY admitted that the two
Churches closely resemble each other. So have the
Calvinists of England, so have the Presbyterians of
Scotland, always said, till of late, when it became an
object of their own priesthood to get the Parliamen-
tary support of the English clergy, in order to extort
from the people additional funds for the Presby-
terian priesthood, under the pretext of extend-
ing the Church. Of late, the Presbyterian priests.
dishonouring the stout and conscientious resistance
of their forefathers, and disgracing their name, have
made common cause with the Anglican Church
in its attacks on the property of the people, and
have proclaimed, by the mouth of Dr. CHALMERS,
that the daughter of Rome, the Whore of Babylon,
the child of Popery, which is not a religion, but a
knavish and profligate invention,—the Presbyterian
clergy, dishonouring the noble deeds of their forefa-
thers, have of late, from the most sordid motives, pro-
claimed by the mouth of Dr. CHALMERS, that the
Church of England is endowed with almost every vir-
tue. But, founding on what the Presbyterians of old
said—founding on what they now say, when they
are not bribed to desert the cause of truth—found-
ing on what the Archbishop of CANTERBURY said,
and founding on the origin, practices, and doctrines
of the Anglican Church, we affirm that it closely
resembles Popery, which is not " a school of piety
or purity, but an engine for coercing the free will
of man." Nor is the time very remote when our
Cnntemporary,then unbought and unbribed, like the
truth-telling Presbyterians of old, proclaimed with
his brazen throat, that we had " too much Church."
Some slight differences there are undoubtedly
between the two Churches. The Church of Eng- I
land could not do, like that of Rome, without a
visible head, and it consented to adopt the lay So-
vereign, who may be a heartless debauchee, an
atheist, or a believing maiden. To have a ve-
nerable priest for a visible head chosen by the
clergy is a superiority of which the Church of I
Rome may, with propriety, boast over the Church
of England. It is not often of late years that the
Sees in the Church of Rome have been

t
'owed l'et4arci tbspeable into igire ur
political apostacy ; Lut every man can
point to Bishoprics in England filled
with political pamphletterg, or with the igtio,
rant or meddling minitms of the Aristotraty: In
the ratification of the appointment of her clergy by
the venerable priest chosen by her Cardinals, the
Papal Church has a manifest superiority over the
Church of England, whose B:shops are the crea-
tures of the Minister of the day. Pluralities are
little tolerated in the Church of Rome ; non-resi-
deuce is almost unknown; the giving a curate a
journeyman carpenter's wages, while the plethoric
Rector—a TnuaLow or a PRETYMAN—rich in
the spoils of hospitals, rolls about in his carriage
from living to living, or fixes himself in that one
which is nearest his favourite card-playing water-
ing place, is not one of the scandals of the Church
of Rome, and on all these points it seems to our
unlearned, but, we hope, unmystified judgment, a
better school of piety and purity than its corrupt
dlughter.

Whether the doctrines of the Church of England
be superior to those of Rome, or whether it be
merely made more decent and reasonable:by existing
contemporaneously with a free press and somewhat
more enlightened people we will not decide. We
admit that the absence of the Confessional is a great
improvement, but the loss of that is regretted by the
PUSEYITES, and they recommend its restoration.
If tht clergy of Rome have struggled for power,
their ambition is equalled, if not surpassed, by
that of the Angl►can clergy, who now insist, in
o;position to the State, on having in their hands
the education of the whole people. So jealous are
they of their power, that they will allow Lone of the
relations of life to escape their control ; and when
sects :hat do not belong to the Church of England
have sought to obtain their civil rights without
submitting to the baptism of the Church, or
wished to legalize their marriage contracts without
t'►e sanction of its ministers, or place their dead in
the hallowed ground where their forefathers sleep,
the clergy have opposed them with all the political
power they could collect. To this moment they
incarcerate men who refuse to pay for their services
or contribute to their Papal or even Pagan finery.
We doubt if the Church of Rome at the present
day can exh►bit such proofs of its successful and
tyrannical ambition—we are sure that the Church
of Rome in Ireland cannot—as DAVID JONES
and JOHN THOROGOOD.

Really the Tories are a most unlucky set of po-
liticians. Our fleets will not run ashore, nor our
armies run away to enable them to turn out the
ktihigs. The success of Sir JOHN KEANE and
the brief despatches of Lord AUCKLAND have
filled them with despair. Office, which was almost
brought within their grasp by the rebellion in Ca-
nada, has been removed beyond their reach by the
success in Afghanistan. The Standard is quite
lugubrious at the wisdom of their opponents, and
" inculcates patience" as the most valuable lesson
the Tories can now learn. Its expectations that
our troops would be defeated are sadly disappointed,
and it cannot forgive the army of DOST MOHAMMED
for having given them an easy victory. According
to our Contemporary, the English army ought to
have been beaten. Lord MELBOURNE, it appears,
had no right to anticipate success, and he owes
his triumph to the wholly unexpected circumstance
of 13,000 men running away almost without striking
a blow. Poor Standard and poor Tories ! as long
as you are grieved we are indifferent whether it be
at the cowardice of the Asiatics or at the courage
and skill of our countrymen.

Letters from Constantinople of the 9th ult. re-
ceived this morning state that couriers had arrived
in the Turkish capital bringing the important in-
telligence that IBRAHIM PACHA had advanced at
the head of his army to Cesarea, the Pacha of
which he had deposed, and replaced him by one
of his own officers. Though it is quite true that
MEHEMET Au told the European Consuls at
Alexandria that if his demands were not complied
with before the 26th of September he would order
IBRAHIM to march upon Constantinople, yet we
are not prepared to give credit to this report of his
promptitude in carrying such a threat into execu-
tion. The presence of a hostile army on the
frontier, whose intentions are avowed, may natu-
rally be expected to give rise to a thousand
rumours, every one of which is exaggerated, to an
inconceivable extent, in passing from mouth to
mouth. But were the report true we should be
glad of it, as it would impose on the Five Powers
the necessity of coming to a speedy decision. It
has already been allowed to stand too long in
abeyance, to the almost total ruin of trade in Turkey
and Egypt. This we understand to be the general
feeling among the Turks themselves—a feeling
which the members of the Divan share in common
with the humbler followers of the Prophet. In the
offices of the Government, and Pachalicks of the
Empire, various changes have recently taken place.
HAFIZ PACHA has been confirmed in his title of
Seraskier of the Armies of the East, and obtained,
besides, the Pachalik of Erzeroum. ASSAD
PACHA has been removed from the Dardanelles
to Sivas, and replaced by HAIDER PACHA. ME-
HEMED ASAF PACHA is appointed Governor of
Silistria, and NAMIK PACHA, so well known as
a diplomatist in Europe, has been honourably
exiled, by obtaining the Government of Cavala—a
favour which he owes to the solicitude of his dis-
tinguished rival RESCHID PACHA.
We find in a French Journal, that since it was
reported at St. Petersburg that the Sultan ABD-
UL-MEDJID appeared disposed to listen to the
counsels of England and France, the official jour-
nals teem with praises of his Highness' brother,
Prince ABD-UL-ASIZ, who is represented as the
hope of the Ottoman Empire. It is evident from
this, that Russia meditates the adoption of our
Indian policy, should other means of ruining the
power of the PORTE be wanting.

The French Journals of Tuesday, with Madrid
Papers of the 21st ult., have been received. The
Journals of Wednesday, which ought to have
reached us last night, are still in arrear, owing to
the stormy state of the weather in the Channel, and
the thick fog. The papers received contain to
political news of the slightest interest, with the ex-
ception of the following paragraphs.:—
" The Malta correspondent of the Semaphore of
Marseilles, writes on the 20th inst., that the Edinburgh,
Belleisle, and Benbow, with a large store ship, arrived
there the previous day from England. The Generoso,
which brought the Indian mail from Alexandria, left
that port on the 13th. At this period the Viceroy was
at Cairo in good health. The French corvette La Bril-
lante, had arrived at Beyruth from Alexandria. The
corvette Daphne had just left to join Admiral Stopford.
It appears that the crews of the Turkish ships give
some uneasiness to the European residents at Alexan-
dria, who would witness their departure with pleasure.
THF:JEws.--We learn from Presburg that the Table
of Magnates has adopted a law authorising Jews to
become landholders in Hungary, but on condition that
they eultit ate their acquisitions with their own hands,
and that the extent do not exceed four sessions.
HERRING FISHERY.—The herring fishery, says the
Memorial de Fecamp, has not been going on well, at
least at its commencement. The boats which gene-
rally return towards the 10th of October with 200 bar-
rels each, have this year returned with so poor a
cargo, that two, which arrived so late as the 22d, lied
only 62 barrels between them. This ill success was
caused, not by a defic;ency in the quantity of herrings,
but by the extraordinary number of sharks and dog-fish
which destroyed the nets. All the Fecamp boats have sus-
tained the same misfortune, and the greatest catch of
fish of any boat has been only 70 barrels.
COLONIAL PRODUCE.-The quantities of colonial
produce. now at the French entrepots, are as follow
........................ .5,500,000 kilos. •

Cotton and Wool
Sugar (French colonies) 38;000.000

talculatitin this tallith; on October 1, 1839.
In addition to the persons set at liberty last week,
leitin that the Committee of the Chamber of Petra
has decided WI the release of about. fifty more prisoners,
who will see the end of their eaptiVitir to-ineirrtiw or the
day following ; there will then remain about sixty per=
sons still in confinement, among whom the Chamber of
Peers will have to select those who will have to appear
as culprits on the day of trial.
We have mentioned that the Dili genie corvette sailed
from Toulon on the 26th for the Levint. A letter
from that city states that that vessel has on board de-
spatches from the Ministry for Admiral Lalande and
M. Pontois.
According to the Barcelona journals the Carlitos
have failed in their attacks on Copons. The national
militia maintained their ground, refusing to surrender,
and causing the factious to suffer considerable loss.
This heroic firmness gave Borso di Cartnini time to
come to their relict with 1,500 men, and to return al-
most immediately to Igualada, after having left three
companies at Copons.

We have received this morning Holland and
Belgian papers of the 30th ult. inclusive. The fol-
lowing are extracts from them :

BRUSSELS, OCT. 20.—The Aix la Chapelle Gazette,
0ct.24, says We are able to state that the Direc-
tors of the Rhenish Iron Railway have just concluded a
convention with the Belgian Government, which under-
takes to dispose of 4,000 shares. The Board of Ma-
nagement is instructed to publish the articles of this
convention,"

Count Deidrechstein, the Austrian Minister at the
Court of Brussels, arrived here yesterday.
The Journal V Flanders stated yesterday that rob-
beries were increasing at Ghent in an alarming manner.
We are unhappily obliged to say that for some days the
same has been the case at Brussels.
BRUSSELS, OCT. 29.—We find the following in a
journal of this city :—" Contrary to what was reported
a few days ago, it Os now said that the" King will re-
turn to Brussels before the opening of the Session, and
that he will be present at it."
BRUSSELS, OCT. 30.—The average prices of Wheat
Rye during the last week were—Wheat, 241. 87c. ;
Rye, 141. 57c. per hecti)litre. The regulations on im-
portation and exportation, therefore, remain the same.
It appears to be intended to make an iron railroad
from Ostend to Dunkirk.

THE HAGUE, OCT. 29.—His Royal Highness Prince
Alexander, second son of the Prince of Orange, arrived
here yesterday, from his journey to Russia.
Yesterday the second Chamber of the States-Gene-
ral, in a secret Committee, discussed at great length the
draft of the Address, which was proposed, in answer to
the speech from the throne, by the Committee appointed
to draw it up. The Chamber agreed to the Address,
and sent it to the first Chamber, which will deliberate
on it to-day.

The general account of the public revenue during
the last four months of 1838, and the first eight months
of 1839, shows that the receipts amounted to 46,049,999
flirins, which exceeds the estimates by 414,542 florins.
THE HAGUE, OCT, 30.—The Slaats Courant of this
date contains the draft of the first book of the penal
code, presented to the States General on the 24th inst.
There was yesterday a very long sitting of the Council
of Ministers.

We understand that a petition signed by the wives of
the fishers of Queenborough, Isle of Sheppy, is ab9ut
to be transmitted to one of the Secretaries of State for
presentation. The petitioners complain that in conse-
quence of several diabolical persons setting the privileged
rights of the poor inhabitants at defiance, and from the
injustice and oppression of a few individuals who have
constituted themselves a governing body, their families,
solely dependent on this fishing, have been reduced to a
state bordering on starvation. We earnestly lopc it
may be in her Majesty's power to alleviate the sufferings
of these poor petitioners.
