sorry that there had not been 1;000 Kentucky riflemen
added to the party, when he, Mr. Clay, said there would
have been a very different result to the matter. How can
we ever expect peace upon our borders when the leader of
the aristocracy in the senate of the United States, their
candidate for the Presidency, takes occasion to stir up and
inflame the passions of the brigands on the frontier, when-
ever he has an opportunity ? It is the most disreputable
course ne have ever known adopted by a person pretending
to any respectability."
We copy this statement principally for the'purpose of
declaring our unqualified conviction that it is utterly un-
true. The Editor of the Chronicle has been imposed upon
by some deceived or deceiving informant.—New York

PENNSYLVANIA.—The attempt made by the Government
of Pennsylvania to procure a State loan of 1,150,000 for
the repayment of temperary loans now falling due, has
fai'ed. The 27th of July was the last day for receiving
offers, and no offers were made. The present project is to
procure a loan for the whole am3unt appropriated under
the Impr ivement Bill ; and the 24th of August is the day
on which the bids bre to close.

There is very little domestic news of interest in
the Paris Journals of Sunday, the whole of which
we have received. In another article we have given
the substance of the latest news from Spain. The
Journal des Debats quotes from the Augsburg
Gazette letters from Constantinople of the 7th ult.,
to the effect that the Porte had conceded to ME-.
HEM ET ALI the hereditary sovereignty of Egypt,
and the Government of Syria and Candia, but that
the Viceroy refused to give up the fleet before the
dismissal of his old enemy CHOSREW PACHA.
The Commerce gives credit to a report, cur-
rent in Paris, that the Russians had thrown
a wooden bridge over the Danube near Silistria,
and that 60,000 Imperial troops had crossed
it on their march towards Constantinople Silis-
tria is distant 68 leagues from Adrianople, and 108
from the Turkish capital. A Russian fleet pre-
pared for the transport of 20,000 men, was ready
to sail at a moment's notice at Odessa, so that the
Russians were ready to attack the capital both by
sel ani land. Although a Russian army was on
the 14. h ult. approaching the Pruth and Lower
Danube, we have every reason to believe that the
account published by the Commerce is little better
than a pure fiction.
The Journal des Debats has an article on the
affair of PL rtendic, for which we shall endeavour
to make rco.n to-morrow.

The King and Queen of the BELGIANS, with
the Duchess of LEUCHTENBURG, are at present
on a visit to the Royal Family of France, at the
chateau of Eu, in Normandy.
The following are extracts from the Paris Papers :
There have been some disturbances amongst the Pari-
sian working classes. but which have no political object.
The Gazette des Tribunaux has the annexed article on the
sqbj:et t--" The deplorable excesses which took place on
Wednesday and Thursday last in the Faubourg St. Antoine
were r,newed on Friday with increased violence. The
operative s, when they quitted their work, were kept in
order by the presence of the municipal authorities,
but at a late hour crowds assembled at different points
of the Faubourg, and at the Place de la Bastile.—
At ten o'clock the cries of Death to the foreign
workmen,' were heard, and attempts were made to
break into several manufactories and workshops, but with-
out success. The leaders then directed an attack upon the
School of Brothers of the Christian Faith, where more
than 200 Alsatian workmen are instructed in reading and
wri ing. The building being barricaded, the mischief was
confined to the destruction of the windows ; and a similar
compliment was bestowed on the house of M. Laumond,
Commissary of Police, who had rendered himself obnox-
ious by putting down the operative demonstrations. The
police having arrived in force, about twenty arrests took
place, and the precautionary measures adopted on Satur-
day give evcry hope that these disorderly measures will
not be renewed."

TUNIS, JULY 31.—The Tunisian corvette Thalia has re-
turned from Toulon. Sidi Mustapha, son-in-law of the
Bey, and the Chevalier Raffo, his secretary, arrived by
this vessel and have rendered an account to the Bey of
the mission they have just fulfilled in Paris. Accordiug to
the current reports this mission has been unsuccessful. The
French Government persists in demanding the fortress of
Keff, and the cession of the port of Bizerte for the pay.

Bey is very uneasy, but, however, he is not disposed to yield
We find the following passage in a letter from Algiers
of the 24th August, published by an Evening Journal :
" Some persons think that the presence of the Prince
Royal in Africa may perhaps be taken advantage of, to
take possession of Collot Delys. As for the expedition to
Hdmza, which was said to be the chief object of the
Prince's visit, nobody now thinks of it, on account of the
bad state of health of the troops of the division. The Jew
Ben Durand, who has been sent to the Emir, has riot yet
rt tuined, but news has been received of him. A north-
east breeze, which we have enjoyed for about ten days, has
caused some diminution of the great heat."—LeCommerce.

A Sermon preached by the Bishop of NouwicH
in the Cathedral of that diocese, and addressed
chiefly to the Chartists, has just been published,
with his Lordship's permission. Though a very
short sermon it conveys much useful instruction,
and exhibits a kindliness of feeling, and an interest
in the welfare of the poor, which are highly cre-
ditable to the Right Reverend Prelate. 'We
only wish that some other Bishops would
imitate his example, and instead of hold-
ing, what are properly called visitations in
their dioceses, would turn the attention of their
clergy to the real interests of the Church, and to
the wants of the ignorant and afflicted poor en-
trusted to their charge. In addressing the hand-
loom weavers, many of whom it appears are Char-
tists, he speaks in these kind and affectionate

terms
My hearers, I have lived much and long amongst the
poor, and, I trust, I have ever been to them as, in duty
bound, a friend, anxious as an Englishman and a Chris-
tian minister to support their rights, and advocate the
liberties of the people. I have always, in public and in
private, through evil report and good report, defended
their rights and their cause against whatever I thought
unjust oppression. I have always felt for their dis-
tresses, and laboured, as far as in me lay, to relieve
them. But I will not, to court their favour, or gain
popularity, conceal my opinions, and refrain from speak-
ing the truth when I think it right, however unpalatable
to them or to you.
I know that many of you are in great want and
poverty. I am aware that, of necessity, hand-loom
weaving, for instance, is in a decaying state, and is a
dying trade, and no one can more sincerely grieve that
this should be the case than I can do ; and well can I
enter into and excuse the feelings with which you
listen to any wild and foolish scheme which pretends to
better your condition. But what I wish to point out
to you is, that if you were to follow the advice of any
of these leaders your wants will not be one jot dimi-
nished, nay, rather, that your distresses will be increased
a hundred fold.
After adverting to the outcry that the operatives
were deprived of their fair wages by those powers
which skill, and science, and improved knowledge
have invented, he says, " If this were true you are
right in complaining, and I have nothing to say ;
nay more, if I could convince myself you were
right, you should not seek for a more devoted
leader than myself, or one who would more
heartily and actively support your cause." He
then points out the means by which this com-
mercial country has been able to maintain her sta-
tion in the great market of the world, and alludes to
the difficulties of keeping up the spirit and balance
of trade, difficulties calling for the soundest judg-
ment, the most mature deliberation, the nicest skill
in calculation, to settle and regulate. He, however,
solves some of these difficulties very promptly,and in a
way, too, which cannot fail to make an impression even

on the most ignorant and most inexperienced. The
f:,Pow:,ln two instaitee c.,f
dilietildery iii or&it r iu provide tuipiuyith lip tur the
poor, are forcibly stated, and cannot fad to have
due effect on all those who entertain such a mis-
chievous doctrine:—

I will give an instance or two to show the folly as
well as wretchedness and want f..f true English spirit
of those who would wreak their wickedness on their
richer neighbours by destroying property or machinery,
which they have no more right to touch than
you or I have to enter into a poor man's
cottage and destroy his little stock of furniture,
or rob him of his industrious earnings. There was a
time before printing was invented, when all books were
written with pen and ink ; and those who wrote them
had plenty of work and high wages. What hap-
pened when printing was discovered, and print-
ingtehme weavers now complain,
presses used ? Of course, that these writers
play ; and they complained,
just
te
atshroswu.nmeoutufof
and would, as I have heard them declare, do away with
improvements. Had they succeeded, had printing be en
forbidden, what would have been the consequence ?
That the world would have remained in darkness and
ignorance from want of books ; none could have
afforded to buy them. For example, instead
of the beautifully printed and portable Bibles
now to be bought for a trifle, a large and hem),
and often badly written copy of the Scriptures, would
have cost not much less than 50/. ; and, of course, in-
stead of every man who wishes it having one of his own,
as I hope you all have, all except the wicked and unbe-
lievers, there would not have been, I will venture to say,
a single Bible in many of our parishes to this day.
Again : take a plough, a harrow, a wind-mill, or a
water-mill, for these are every one of them machines by
which the labour of man is set aside. Suppose all the
agricultural labourers in a county were to rise ; and,
after breaking these ploughs and harrows, and de-
stroying the mills, insist upon the farmer em-
ploying only labourers to dig the ground, rnd
rake in the seed, and that the corn should be made
into flour, ground as it was seven or eight hundred
years ago by the poor ignorant people of this island,
when the grain was pounded down into a coarse bad
flour by bruising it between two stones. Do you think,
can anybody possessed of common sense think, that
the poor would be really better for this ? Certainly, a
greater number of hands might for a short
time be employed in digging, raking, and
grinding ; but then, as a set-off, think of the quantity of
land which, as a matter of course, would soon be thrown
out of cultivation ; Lecause there was neither capital nor
profit enough to pay for this far more tedious ,and more
expensive mode of tillage ; aad what would happen to
the poor ?—this, that his loaf would .cost hien twice or
three times as much as it did.

Our attention has been called to some observations
made in The Sun on Friday, relative to the commit-
ment of a person charged with drunkenness at Queen-
square Office. The communication infers that probably
there was some inaccuracy in the report, as the new
Police Act does not authorise the Magistrate, as sup-
posed, to commit a party to prison for drunkenness
only. The individual in ouestion, a drunken sailor,
was ordered to pay a fine of 55., and having spent or
lest all his money, and not being able of course to pay,
he was ordered to be committed to the House of Cor-
rection for two days. The old law gave the Magistrates
this power, and the inadvertence probably arose from
the heading in the police report " The New Police Act."
The enactment upon the subject is 2 and 3 Vic. c. 47,
Sec. 58.—" That every person who shall be found drunk
in any street or public thoroughfare within the said dis-
trict, and who, while drunk, shall be guilty of any rio-
tous or indecent behaviour, &c., shall be a liable to a
penalty of not more than forty shillings for every such
offence, or may be committed, if the Magistrate before
whom he shall be convicted shall think fit, instead of
inflicting on him any pecuniary penalty, to the House
of Correction for any time not more than seven days:,

not been so great as was anticipated.
SOUTH AUSTRALIA—We have received papers from
South Australia to the 13th March. During the last ten
days (say the latest papers) two more special surveys
have been paid for, making in all ten, by which the la.
bour fund is, as it ought to be, increased 40,000/ It is
said that land is being purchased to a great extent in all
directions. The policy of this is much questioned.
The Gazelle announces the recent large importation of
sheep and other stock. One fine flock of 1,000 ewes has
just been landed in excellent condition.

We have received Quebec papers to the 3d of August.
The weather c intinued showery till last eveniog. We
do not bear that the late rains have done much injury in
this neighbourhood, except retarding the hay-making.
The worm or maggot is very general in the wheat crops.
The bailey and rye are also attacked.

From the Penang Gazette of the 7th April:—
By the arrival on Wednesday last of the packet Emma,
Eugenia, from China and Macao, we learn that her Ma-
jesty's sloop Larne, 18, had arrived at Macao on the sth
ultimo., and was lying:there when the Emma left on the
14th ; it was generally supposed the Larne would remain
at Macao with the British Chief Superindant Captain
Elliot, during the continuance of the differences which
still agitate the public mind in China, and especially for
the protection of the British interest.
We regret to notice a very serious accident at Dum.
Dum, by the bursting of a shell after the great artillery
review. Five or six persons lost their lives.

Cotton Manufactures.—Considerable imports from Singa-
pore since our last ; the market continues inanimate, with
Jnly a slight demand.
Beer, Wine, and Spirits.--The market still heavily
supplied.
Gunpowder—ln moderate inquiry.
Muskets —2OO have been sold at 21 dollars each.
Opium.—Benares.—The brig Spy arrived since our

In the early part of the morning the Convol market was
exceedingly heavy, owing to sales of Consols of about
200,0004, of which 100,000/. was sold in one lot.
This had the effect of greatly damping the mar-

After a few night charges r.rf no interest had been clis
posed of, nearly the entire of the F divi,ion were in requi-
sititm in conveying the aucheto e toid actors, 411 in number,
before the M-gistrates. The names of the latter wt,re,
George Johnson, Henry Durent, John Booth, George
Scrivens and Elizabeth his wife, Martha Knight, Mary
Ball, John Frazer, El,za Tyne, John Jackson, M,.ry
Sheran, and William Knockles.

Mr. Super intendant Sendrock proved that pursuant to
the written order produced, which he had received from
the Commissioners of-Police, he went about half-past nine
o'clock last night to a-house at the corner of Newton-street
and Charles-street, Drury-lane, where ha found the per-
sons at the bar in the act of performing on a stage a dra-
m wic piece, entitled (as It appeared by the bill produced)
iWury illanders. They were dressed in the stage attire
as they ,ppeared at the bar.
Mr. Inspector Mullins corroborated the evidence of the
last witnes,,.

Mr. TWYFORD inquired if the house was a linens( d
thr alre.

Mr. Sandrock could not say that it was.
Mr. TwYroan you must now prove that money was
taken at the door on suffering the audience to enter
the premises.

Two elderly women, named Anne Thisleton, and
Anne Hadon, not in stage attire, were then placed at
the bar, on a charge of collecting money at the door.
Serjeant Pocock proved that when he took the de-
fendant Johnson into custody, he admitted he was the
stage manager in the absence of Mr Haden, who was
in the country.

Colin Forbes, another constable, proved that he took
the basket produced, containing 172. I Id., with a quan-
tity of cheques, on which was printed 3d. pit. 2d. gallery,
horn the two defendants, who were sitting in a recess in
the passage.
Mr. TWIPORD said that the Act under which the de-
fendants were charged was the 2d and 3d of Vic., chap.
47, by the 46th section of which any person knowingly
letting a house or other premises for stage performances
without being duly licensed, rendered himself liable to a
penalty of 201., or two months' imprisonment, and every
person performing, or being present during a rer-
tortnance, to a penalty of 40s. or one month. He was,
therefore, anxious to know what excuse the defendants bad
to make for their conduct.

The defendant Johnson said that he had, with his bro-
ther and sister, been actors, and on his asking the proprie-
tor, Mr. Haden, if there was any danger, he assured him
he was not breaking the law.
The others made a similar defence, except Scrivens and
his wife, who declared they were merely amateurs, and
did not make their livelihood by such means.
Mr. TWYFORD ordered Scrivens to be discharged with a
reprimand, and the other defendants to pay each 20s. or
14 days' imprisonment.
William Hardy, Joseph Brown, and ,Mathew Best, the
mus/cians, were ordered to pay a like penalty, and twenty
of the audience, whose ages did not exceed 17 years, were
punished :in the same manner,l except such as were
under the age of 15. Several of the audience were recog.
nized as juvenile thieves.
A communication was received from Lord John Russell
acquainting the sitting Magistrate, that Mr. Hall, of
Hatton. garden Police Court, has been appointed Chiet
Magistrate, with a salary of 1,200/. a-year, in the room of
Sir F. Roe, resigned ; and Mr. Jardine, the Barrister,
second Magistrate, with a similar salary, in the room of
Mr. Minshull, who retires on a superannuated allowance.
Mr. Twyford, who his been a Police Magistrate seventeen
years, continues to officiate as third Magistrate, w.th a
salary of 1,000/. a-3 ear.

(THIS DAY.)

USING INSULTING LANGUAGE IN A STATION- HOUSE.--
A fashionably-dressed person, who gave his name William
Shaw, was charged with having been found in Hanover-
square so much intoxicated that he was unable to take care
of himself, arid a horse and gig he had with him.
Inspector Beresford :-tated that the defendant while at
the station-house made use of extremely abusive and in-
sulting language towards him.
Mr. DYES said he believed that the public were not ge-
nerally aware of the power given to the Magistrates by the
late Act to punish such conduct—with that view be should
fine the defendant only 20s. (the full fine is 40s.)—The
fine was immediately paid.
