LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 8, 1837.

The intelligence from Manchester and Liverpool
this morning is very favourable. It is expected that
the crisis is now over, and that matters will continue

to improve.

Sir ANDREW AGNEW;S Sabbath Bill was read a
second time last night in the House of Commons. No
doubt it would have been better to have rejected such a
Bill at once; but Members are not always allowed to
follow their own judgment—they must consult at times
the whims and caprices of some of their constituents, and
make a show at least of supporting a Bill which they
know will never be carried, or if carried, will never be
practicable. It is annoying, certainly, to Members to
be dragged forward session after session to support
such an absurdity against their will ; but they have
a remedy: in order to relieve their consciences,
and get rid of these vain attempts to accomplish im-
possibilities, they ought at the next election to start a
new candidate for Wigtonshire, raise a fund for de-
fraying the expenses, and retain Mr. HOLIiIES spe-
cially for the occasion. They would to a certainty
succeed, and we hardly think any other county or
town in the United Kingdom, would court the honour
cf having Sir ANDREW for their representative. The
Honourable Baronet, no doubt, is quite sincere ; but,
like most weak-minded persons, he can see objects only
in one light. The observance of the Sabbath is rigidly
strict in Scotland, and he thinks all that is wanting to
make it equally so in England, is an Act of the Le-
gislature ; but he forgets that the long-established
habits and customs of the people are essentially diffe-
rent. The people of Scotland observe the whole of
that day religiously from a sense of duty, and if every
law on the subject were abrogated, would continue to
observe it. The people of England think and act
differently. After performing their religious duties,
which they do in a most exemplary manner, they take
delight afterwards in decent and orderly recreation ; and
this, we are confident, no law can make 'them forego.
Any attempt to enforce the provisiort of such a Bill as
that before the House, would have an effect directly
the reverse of that for which it is intended.

Mr. IloruucK ably exposed the tyrannical and
vexatious character of this hypocritical measure last
night. He showed, that while it pressed slightly upon
the rich, it bore down with most remorseless severity on
the poor. " They were now," said the Hon. and Learned
Gentleman, " discussing a proposition for shutting out
the citizens from the enjoyment of fresh air on the
Sunday. Would Sir ANDREW AGNEW go a little
further ? Would he forbid his servant to brush his
c( at, to make up his bed-room, or to boil potatoes, so
as to give some relish of warmth to his otherwise cold
dinner ? Would he prevent his servant from lighting
his fire on a Sunday evening, when the thermometer
was low ? No, no. Ile would legislate against the
poor, worn-out student, who laboured six days in the
week in his humble lodging ; he would debar him
from the enjoyment, at the same time, of pure
air and a warm dinner. No more warm dinners, said
the Hon. Member for Wigton ; because we are grown
pious, no more cakes and ale. Oh, but there was a re-
servation for travellers ; but this coula not serve the
poor, who must starve, because the Hon. Baronet was
pious." This is the jnstest exposition of the Sunday-
tribulation measure we have yet met with.. It is
literally a Bill of Pains and Penalties against the
poor Inan. It punU es him for the defects of his
pocket. It broadly tells him, " You ate poor ; there-
;fore you must perforce be a violator of the LoaD's
Day, and being such, von must be looked sharply
after." Now is not poverty in itself a sufficient
evil, but it must be rendered a still greater curse, by
having the brand of irreligion stamped upon it ? Does
no good, feeling heart beat beneath the freize jacket ?
Is it only to be found underneath the well-padded coat ?
Is all piety monopolised by wealth, and all infidelity
by poverty ? Does vice belong exclusively to the tea-
gardens, and virtue to the club-room ? Is CROCK-.
FORD'S the resort of Sunday Saints, and the village
ale-house of Sunday sinners ? Shame on you, Sir
ANDREW, for legislating on the principle of such un-
generous—such absurd distinctions ; and deeper shame
on the House that could sanction their truth, though
but fur a night, by a majority of Forty !
When the West-end is wholly converted; when Di VES
ceases to parade his servants' last new livery, and
his own last new fashion in the Parks during afternoon
service ; when gay, dashing crowds no longer throng
to suffocation the Zoological Gardens ; when the
Clarendon is shut up, and its numerous cooks
substistute the Church for the kitchen ; when a
devout stillness reigns in the Carlton Club, and not
a single dinner party is given in Grosvenor or Bel-
grave Squares—when all these edifying changes have
taken place—then, and not till then, will we allow
Sir ANDREW AGNEW to direct his anathemas exclu-
sively against the tea-gardens, the ale-house, and she
baker's shop. But do not, most immaculate of Saints,
—do not, as you value the principle of fair-play and ,

common feeling—do not punish LAZARUS, and per-
mit DlvEs to go scot-free. Think that pover:y may
have its virtues, as wealth may have its vices ; and
that to legislate on a different principle, is to strain
at a gnat and swallow a camel.
Let the Sunday-tribulation Bill hut pales in its pre-
sent shape, and heaven help the poor man ! England
will be no home for him after such an inquisitorial
Act shall have become law. Spies and infimmcrs will
beset Limn in every direction. The vcry air of heaven
will be forbidden to him. He will not he able to ride
--or drive—or take a refreshing glass of beer at the
ale-louse—or a .cup of tea at the tea-gardens—or an
hour's row on the water—or an hour's drive on the
rail-road—he will be compcled to be wretched and cn-
nuied in spite of himself, and will have nothing I
left for it but to snore in church or in bed through
out the Sabbath-day, from " the rising of the sun
to the going down of the same." And all these
wholesale annoyances arc to be heaped upon
because Sir AN DREW -AGN EW is pious ! His
countenance is to be a very title-page of tribulation,
because the Member for Wigton eschews a happy
face on the Sabbath ! But this cannot—must not be.
Sir ANDREW must be taught to content himself with
his own fanaticism, and to cease to worry others into
the same gloomy creed. We are sick of the cant of
exclusive sanctity—of all cants - the most detestable,
because the most impious.

A pamphlet calculated to excite a good deal of at-
tention among those who are in the habit of congra-
tulating themselves upon the naval superiority of Great
Britain has just been published by the Messrs. RIDG-
WAY, entitled the " Russian Fleet in the Baltic in
183 G." The author, 11. W. CRAUFURD, commander
in the Royal Navy, was present at the annual review
of the Russian fleet at Cronstadt in the course of last
rear ; and by the personal courtesy of the Emperor
was allowed every facility of examining the different
ships of war assembled for the inspection of his Im-
perial Majesty. The results of his inquilies are cm-
bodied in the tract before tie, from which we propose
making a few extracts, with a view to draw the atten-
tion of Parliament and the Lords of the Admiralty to
a question of such vital importance. The confidence
we have ever had in the latent energies of the British
nation is not in the least diminished by the statements
which we are about to submit to the public—not so
much because the nation is rich and powerful, as
because the great bulk of the people are only stimu-
lated to heroic achievements by the apprehension of
danger. No true Englishman will ever despair of his
country ; but our patriotic confidence in the national
resources ought not to blind us to the danger of per-
mitting the right arm of England to become paralyzed
through legislative neglect, or a pitiful short-sighted
spirit of " penny-wise and pound-foolish" economy on
the part of the Government.
The following is Mr. CRAUFURD'S account of the
Russian fleet lying at Cronstadt in 1836
The fleet, consisting of 26 line of battle ships, besides
frigates and smaller craft, was anchored in two lines. There
were three three-deckers, rated 110 gun-ships; six two-
deckers, carrying 84 guns, and eighteen seventy-fours ; one
razeed 74, carrying 56 guns as a frigate ; a 52 gun frigate,
and seventeen forty-fours ; three large corvettts, and a num-
ber of smaller vessels. The ships looked neat, and man-of-
war like, though rather heavy about their rigging, as Russians
in general are. As we passed each ship, the Emperor him-
self, personally, gave a short account of her force, bow long
she had been built, what her qualities were, and the condition
she was in. He appeared to be aware of every particular con-
nected with each individual ship—and, with such a number,
it showed the constant watchfulness exercised over them, and
the great interest taken by him in their state of effectiveness.
The comparative superiority of these ships to most of those
which I remembered to have seen in the Mediterranean in
1828 and 1829, impressed me at once with a strong idea of the
rapid progress they had made in so short a space of time, during
which the farce of my own country had remained at least sta-
tionary.
We believe there are, few Englishmen whom this
picture of the growing naval power of Russia, as com-
pared with that of England, will not fill with some
degree of anxiety. It would be ridiculously presump-
tuous to prescribe bounds to a power that in a few
years has effected so much in spite of the greatest
ob-
stacles, unless in bounding the naval dominion of
Russia we take care to assert our own. The empire
of the seas is no hereditary appendage of the British
Crown—possession there goes for nothing. Might
alone constitutes the only right which any country can
claim to the sovereignty of the " high-road of nations."
The importance of this fact must occur to every indi-
vidual interested in maintaining the naval superiority
of Great Britain, on perusing the following reflection
from the pamphlet above quoted :
It was a strange feeling that came over me as an English-
man and an officer in the British Navy, on finding myself at
sea with six-and-twenty Russian line-of-battle ships, with
nearly 30,000 men, better soldiers than they are sailors, and
four months provisions on board ; knowing as I did that for
the protection of the coasts of my own country, of our ports,
of our mercantile shipping in the Baltic, the North See, and
the Channel, we had but seven line-of-battle ships in a state
of preparation, and those I believe not fully manned. I con-
fess that, confident as I fat in the superior skill and activity
of my countrymen, I almost trembled fur the preservation of
their ancient sovereignty of the seas.
The Russian fleet in the Black Sea consists of no
fewer than eighteen line-of-battle ships, with a comple-
ment of at least 19,000 men, while se have in the
smile quarter only two frigates and a sloop of wart
manned by about 1,000 men. In fact we had las
year only 14,000 men in all parts of the world in
acute naval service, and our present co:npletnent is
only 19,000—a force by NO means adequate to the
protection of the commercial interests of this country.
We are aware that there are many persons who
will denounce as ridiculous the apprehensions ex-
pressed by Mr. CRAUFURD in the following supposed
extreme case ; but without participating in his fear,
to their full extent, we cannot say that we regard them
with indifference. On the contrary, the more we re-
flect upon them—in conjunction with the many over-
sights of our Government in everything that relates to
the designs of Russia—the more are we persuaded of
the necessity of making the public mind familiar with
them. If we err at ail, let it be on the safe side—on
the side of a prudent precaution against a possible
evil :

Suppose a case, which, from common report, is not likely
to occur, that the seizure of the Vixen should lead to a rupture
between England and Russia. Foreseeing the consequences
of this act of his officers, what would be the conduct of the
Emperor of Russia as a wise Monarch ? I should imagine he
would diplornatise, until his fleet, as one of the natural conse-
quences of the arrival of summer, was ready for the annual
Cronstadt review, and then declare himself openly. And what,
under such circumstances, would be the position of Great
Britain ? Have we a fleet to protect our coasts from the at-'
tacks of such a force ? What an agreeable mode, for Russia,
of paying the expenses of her fleet, to pick up our merchant
ships in all directions, before our ships were in readiness for
their protection; of ix hat fatal consequence to us would be their
non-arrival in our ports; and in what way, or on what point of
this inattackable power should We attempt to revenge such a
heavy blow ? I am afraid that if we leave ourselves much
longer open to the possibility of such a severe blow being dealt
us, it will fall upon us some day with dreadful effect, and if it
comes to us from Russia, she offers us neither ships with
wealthy cargoes, nor rich possessions, from which we may ex-
act reparation for our losses, nor would she be foolish enough,
when our fleet was prepared, to give us an opportunity of re-
venging our dishonour upon her men of war.
Do we trust, then, for our defence solely to the impression
the deeds of our Laval heroes mint have left upon the minds cf
those who may think of coming to attack us ? Would the
Emperor of Russia leave
.the country be governs in such a
state of dependence upon the forbearing spirit of any neigh-
bouring nation ? Does any other country leave its best, its
dearest interests unprotected, those interests upon the mainte •
'lance of which its existence as an independent nation hangs,
as ours does upon the maintenance of our superiority upon
the seas ?

I venture to affirm that we have not, at the present moment,
the superiority upon the seas, and that it would require some
time, and the greatest exertions, to give it to us again ; while
a neighbou► ing Power, u ith whom our relations do not always
wear the most friendly aspect, has, during three or four months
annually, an overwhelming force afloat within a week's sail of
our shores.

Let it be remembered that these opinions—unpalate-
able as they must be to the national vanity of English-
men—are not only those of a British naval officer, but
likewise of an officer who would seek to persuade us
that the Emperor NICHOLAS is personally as tender
of the rights of Englishmen as he is of the most sa-

cred of his Imperial prerogatives. Mr. CRAUFURD
is no alarmist on the score of Russian aggression. He
deems the provocation of a just war by a Monarch so
enli,,,htened—so liberal—so conspicuous for his many
virtues as the CZAR, as next to impossible. His ob-
j,:ct in v: riling, therefore, has no immediate relation
to an apprehension of danger from any quarter. He
merelv seeks to draw the attention of the Admiralty,
and the nation generally, to the actual condition of our
naval force, as compared with that of a Power which
may be said to have only yesterday started into a mari-
time exiAence. • We go much farther, because we

place no reliance whatever upon the peaceable designs
of Russia. Were Russia in a condition to cope suc-
cessfully with Eni_land at sea, what would there be to
prevent her from seizing upon Constantinople ? This
is the secret of her eagerness to organze an efficient
fleet in the Black Sea, and the moment this, her great
end, is obtained will the thunder of her cannon be
heard le-echoing along the shores of the Bosphorus.
She menaces England, only that she may clutch
Turkev.

The whole of the Paris papers of Tuesday have
been received. On that day the French Government
received the following telegraphic intelligence :

BORDEAUX, JUNE s.—On The Ist the Carlists were still
t Barbastro, and the Christinos occupied Berbegal, Morilla,
Selgua, Castejo del Puente, and Nlonzon. on the two banks of
the Cinca, and near to Barbastro. The Carlists were in want
of provisions, and the desertion was very consider..blc. A
letter from Jaca would lead to the belief that I)on Carlos and
Don Sebastian had left Barbastro, without its being known in
what direction they bad gone."
BAYONNE, JUNE 5 —On the 2d Don Carlos was still at
Barbastro. On the Ist General Oraa had written to Esplr-
tero that he was in a condition to observe and attack Don
Carlos when he (Oraa) had formed a junction with Baron de
Meer, being in communication with him by Monzon.
Es;isrt,ro had received this letter at Patnpluna on the 3d,
and had abandoned tke idea of marching on Ritera. It was
thought that ho would send reinforcements to Oraa.
If this account be correct the position of Don
CARLOS is extremely critical. Surrounded on all
sides by a strong Christino force, and in the midst of
a hostile population, he has scarcely a chance of ex-
tricating his troops, much less of _marching at their
head to Madrid. The Catalans, instead of flocking to
his standard, as his partizans led him to expect, eva-
cuate their dwellings at his approach—carry away or
• destroy their provisions—harass his rear, cutting off all
stragglers from the main body of his army—.and, in
fact, reduce him to the necesity of subsisting his
troops by plunder. What is still worse for the Pre-
tender, the Christinos have it now in their power to
harass him by the species of guerilla warfare which he
so successfully adopted in the Basques. By entering
Catalonia—quitting his secure mountain fastnesses
where be chose his own time for fighting—he has
completely turned the tables upon himself. All that
is now required to reduce him is vigour and dispatch
on the part of the QUEEN'S Generals. Procrastina-
tion only can rob them of the glory of putting an end
to the war before the close of the present season.
Advices from San Sebastian of the Ist inst. state
that on that day the soldiers of the Legion were paid
up all arrears due to the 30th of April. The re-
mainder of their pay to the 10th inst. they were to re-
ceive before the expiration of the period of their pre-
sent engagement. Few of them appeared willing to
continue in the Spanish service, without obtaining
leave to visit their friends in these kingdoms in the
course of the summer. The Spanish Governmelit
ought not to accept the proffered services of any
soldier upon such a condition. The men would only
waste their money in drunkenness and debauchery ;
hundreds of them would never return ; and the few
that would rejoin the army would have disqualified
themselves by their vices for the support of a cause so
sacred as that of Constitutional freedom.

There is no domestic news in the French journals
of Tuesday of any importance. On Monday deputa-
tions from the Chambers of Peers and Deputies,
headed by their respective Presidents, waited upoa the
KING to congratulate him upon the tnartiage of the
Duke of ORLEANS. Baron PASQUIER wore the
robes of Chancellor of France, and more than two-
thirds of the Deputies appeared in Court costumes.
Some irritation was caused in the Lower Chamber by
the promulgation of the Ordinance that all at-
tending the festivities were expected to come in
Court dresses ; but on Monday notices were posted
up, to the effect that an exception would be
made in favour of Deputies. After the formality of
the presentation was over on Monday, the KING him-
self good-humouredly joked some of the Deputies
about the ridiculousness of the etiquette usual on such
occasions, and added, with as much prudence as good
taste, that his friends were always welcome, no mater
in what garments they appeared. The Deputies were
well pleased with -their reception.
Annexed are extracts from the journals of Tues-
day :
The Lidicatear of Bourdeaux contains the following letter
from Oleron, May 1 :
Irribarren died rather in consequnce of a fit of passion
than of his wound. He did not mean to attack the enemy at
Huesca with the half of his force, but having heard himself
called a traitor, he caused the action to he commenced with a
charge of cavalry, which, having to contend with a superior
force, suffered severely. The infantry did not experience any
considcralic loss, and the artillery did great havoc in the ranks
cf the Carlists. _ _

The following. reports arc in circulation :_Baron de Meer
has interrupted a great convoy of provisions which the Cata-
lonians were conveying to the Ccrea : that General, in con-
cert with other commanders, completely guards that river.
The Carlist expedition is quite destitute of provisions, because
the Art agoncse prevent all c..mmunications. The mountaineers
have taken a great part of the baggage belonging to the Pre-
tender, an] made a whole battalion of the insurgents, which
had'dispersed, prisoners. General Jauregui returned to Her-
na ni, after having favoured the movements of General Es-
partero to Pampeluna. Andouin was therefore evacuated the
day following its occul,ation.-7-Phare.
A letter received from Vera of May 30, says that five or
six Carlist battalions had assembled the day before- at Goy-
meta and Leiza. It was _thought that an action might take
place at one of these points on the following day, between the
Carlists and Espartero, who proceeded from Pampeluna,
leaving Lecumberri on the right. The same letter says that
these battalions came frcm the Cinco Villas, and plundered
everything on their way.—La Commerce.
Yesterday, at two o'clock, the Duke and Duchess of Or-
leans received Marshal Lobau and General Jacqueminot, who
came to invite them to the ball to be given next week in their
honour by the National Guard, at the Opera-house. At eight
o'clock her Royal Highness appeared at the balcony of the
centre pavilion of the Tuileries, to which she was handed by
the King. There was an immense crowd in the garden, whose
greetings were loud and loyal. Immediately afterwards the
Prince and Princess Royal received the diplornative corps ;
at half-past eight o'clock the ladies of the Foreign Ministers,
and at nine in succession the Council of State. the officers
of the Civil List, and of the Royal private domains, and
the commandants and adjutants of the Royal Palaces.
The Duke of Orleans replied to the various addresses with
the utmost affability, mixed with noble and dignified
sentiments. The answers of the Duchess were replete
with grace and warm expressions of gratitude for the re.
ceptien she had met with in France. To-day, at ten
o'clock, their Royal Highnesses received the Aides-de-Camp,
'Equerries, and orderly officers of the King and Princes, and
afterwards, in succession, the Marshals of France, the AdMi-
rals, deputations from the two Chambers, the several Law
Courts, the Municipality, and the Consistorics of the Reformed
Church and of the Confession of Augsburg, and the Jcwieh
Synagogue. To-morrow, at 12, they will receive the com-
mandant, staff, and officers of the National Guards of Paris,
and the Banlieue, and afterwards the officers of the Hotel des
Invalides, who will be succeeded by the staff and officers of the
regiments composing the garrison of Paris, such other Gene-
rals and superior officers as arc in the capital, and the different
civil officers. At eight in the evening there will be a general
reception of all ladies and gentlemen who are admitted at
Court. All the receptions have Aitken place, and will take
place, in the apartments of the Duke and Duchess of Orleans.

CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

The LORD CIIANCELLCR was occupied the whole morning
with the case of Isaacs v. Gumpertz, which was an application
for a new trial.

VICE-CLIANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

THE PICK WICK CLUB.
CHAPMAN AND HALL LLOYD.

Mr. KNIGHT, with whom Was 111 r. BACON, applied this
morning in this case for an injunction to restrain the defendant
from publishing a work called the " Penny Pickwick," not on
the ground of invasion of copyright, but fraudulent imitation.
As all our readers are aware, the plaintiffs have for some
time published a work, the circulation of o hich is very cx.
tcnsive, called the " Posthumous Papers of the Piekwiek
Club." The defendants had latterly published a work cu-
t:tied " The Penny Pickwick", the form of ii hie!' was likely
to deceive the ignorant and unwary into the belief that it was
the same work as that published by the plaintiffs, is Lich was
of a highly meritorious character. They had adopted
nearly similar names as those used in the original work,
instezd of " Boz" they used the name of " Bos";
for " Snodgrass" " Snodgreen" ; for " Tupman" " Tupnall";
and for " Winkle" " Winkletop ;" and the illustrations of the
work instead of being by " Phiz" were stated to be by " Phis."
The form of the letters on the outer cover of the work was
also copied. Under these circumstances the Learned Counsel
trusted the Court would grant the injunction, as the work of
the defendant was evidently intended to injure that of the

Alr. BACON appeared on the same side.
Ilis HONOUR, without hearing the other side, immediately
gave judgment. He did cot think there was any case that
called for the interference of the Court, inasmuch as it was
impcssible.the work of the defendant could injure that of the
plaintiff, as one was but a meagre copy of the other. He
would therefore order the motion to stand over, reserving
the question of costs, giving the plaintiff liberty to bring such
action as he might be advised.
