deemably beyond its pale. The laws on this point !
ought to be brought into harmony, and as long as
the Legislature authorises the State-Clergy to deal
out damning anathemas against their Catholic
countrymen, the Legislature is chargeable with the
hatred which, by this means, fanatic priests sow
and nourish in the hearts of their congregations. It
is not Mr. GREGG alone who entertains these senti-
ments ; scores of the priests, including the Bishop
of EXETER, have covertly insinuated or boldly
charged her MAJESTY with committing perjury,
by dealing out some semblance of justice to her
Catholic subjects. In a recent Number of the
Cheltenham Examiner we find this passage, in a
speech by Mr. SYMONDS :
Well were it for Mr. Close (a clergyman) had his politi-
cal performances been confined to tea party oratory, and
his attacks been levelled merely at the Government; un-
fortunately he has assailed the Sovereign herself, and in a
speech delivered lately at the Assembly Rooms, used
language so nearly bordering on sedition, that the Magis-
trates felt it their duty to send to him to know if the speech
reported was correct, and the answer delivered to the Ma.
gistrates was that the punctuation was wrong.—(lronical
cheers.) Here is the extract as given bp the Cheltenham
Chronicle :—" It was part of the covenant into which the
Queen of England entered, that she would shield her
people from spiritual error and mischief, and feed and suc-
cour them with spiritual truth. For be it remembered
that she wears the crown and sits on the throne of these
realms, not only in virtue of her being a Protestant, but a
Church of England Protestant. If she ceases to be a com-
municant of the Church of England—but be would not
finish that sentence in these degenerate days. [Here there
was a full stop.] Suffice it to say—the Covenant is
broken. The Throne is forfeited."

That language is quite consistent with the doc-
trines of the priests. They hold that the QUEEN
has made a covenant with them, and that every
other duty, both of the Sovereign and the Christian,
must be trampled under foot, that her MAJESTY
may keep the covenant as they choose to under-
stand and interpret ii. The lay Tories are not
much behind the spiritual ones, and Mr. BRAD-
SHAW, according to the Staffordshire Examiner,
has found a worthy imitator in Lord INGESTRIE.
The Noble Lord said, at the Stone dinner—
He trusted the voice of the country would soon make
itself heard in high quarters, so that the Queen might be
able to discern and judge, and not allow a wicked Minis-
try to make her the Queen of a party instead of the Queen
of a nation. (Loud cheers.) The loyalty be advocated
was that founded on the principles of the glorious Revolu-
tion of 1688, not as a mask for treason and hypocrisy.—
( Tremendous cheers.)
The Tories would indeed make her MAJESTY
the QUEEN of a party, for they insist on her go-
verning solely for one sect. The principles of the
Revolution of 1688, which the Tories pretend,
at length, to have adopted, are the principles of
toleration and civil liberty, while their practices are
all founded on intolerance and despotism. At
length, however, their disappointment, amounting
almost to despair, has made them throw off the
mask, and they seek to obtain their end of tyranniz-
ing over the people by subjecting her MAJESTY to
their sway. The present calumnious and scanda-
lous attacks on her—the insinuations and charges of
perjury—the appeals to the Homilies and the Ru-
bric, are all intended to subdue her by the spiritual
terrors of the Church of England into being the
menial and servant of the Tories.

DISASTER.—Four men, named Randalt, Vosburgh,
and Brown, and a Norwegian, were drowned by the
swamping of a boat on Lake Michigan, on the 11th
inst. About 4,000 dollars in money was lost with them.
SUPPRESSING THE SLAVE TRADE.—The govern-
ment has ordered a naval force to the coast of Africa,
to see that the laws for the suppression of the slave trade
are carried into effect, so far as regards American ves-
sels. We presume this measure has been adopted
in consequence of the remonstrances of the British
Government, and the abuse of the Consulate at Ha-
vanna. Better late than never.—.Nenz York Paper.
MONEY MARKET, OCT. 21—SIX P.M.—The stock
market presented but very little change from the prices
of Saturday. Sales were not large. United States
Bank closed the same as on Saturday. Del. and Hud-
son receded 4 per cent. ; Kentucky, 4 per cent. ; Haar-
lem per cent. ; Utica and Schenectady per cent.
There was less demand for money to-day than on Sa-
turday.
For several days past the State Bank has been dis-
continuing the redemption of certain of the safety fund
bills.

It is frequently said, as an apology for a gross
wrong—just as the unmarried lady pleaded that her
child was a little one—that the sum which each la-
bourer would gain by the abolition of the Corn-
laws is so small, that it is not worth consideration.
Let us try this by facts. When a labourer gets
only 9s. a week, an addition of ls., or one-tenth, is
to him of considerable importance. It is almost
the difference between a full and an empty belly.
Now ls. a week is 525. a year, and 1,000,000
shillings would give ls. a week throughout the
year to 19,230 families. One million pounds
sterling would consequently give an augmen-
tation of income equal to ls. per week to 384,600
persons. Now it is supposed that the agri-
cultural interest received at least 20,000,0001.
sterling more in 1839 than in 1837, which
would give, in fact, an increase of ls. per week to
7,692,000 persons. But that is a greater number
than all the grown labourers of the empire, and if
we say, therefore, that the 20,000,0001. gained by
the landlords would have given 2s. per week to
3,846,000 labourers, we shall have an approxima-
tively correct idea of the advantage to the labourer
which would result from the abolition of Corn-laws.
2s. a week in addition to persons living on 7s. or
9s. a week, is relief from starvation. It is a rescue
from lingering disease and slow death. And though
the reduction would be nothing amongst the land.
owners, would not cause them to drink a glass of port
wine the less, or keep one horse fewer, it would be
salvation, it would be independence and happiness,
to the labouring classes.

The following is a list of the banks, the bills of which
have been thrown out, on Saturday and to-day :
Chemung Canal Bank, Bank of Whitehall,
Essex County, Yates County Bank,
Bank of Ithica, Commercial Bank of Buffalo,
~ Lyons, City Bank of Buffalo,
" Orleans, Commercialßank of Oswego,
Madison Co. Bank, Oswego Bank.
Sackett's Harbour Bank, Chautauque County Bank.

These are bought by the brokers at five per cent.
discount.

The probability is that all will be discontinued, with
the exception of such few as have made arrangements
for taking up their own paper. The Bank Commis-
sioners are now here, and have sent for the Committee
of the Country Banks, for the purpose of endeavouring
to make an arrangement with the banks of this city, by
which Safety Fund money shall be received at par in
payment of their debts. Such a measure is very desir-
able, if it can be entered into at this time.

The pernicious system of holding back the crop is the
grand evil, and one to which dealers and farmers adhere
with a tenacity which amounts almost to a mania. The
process of a reduction in prices is going forward with an
irresistible force, and cannot be prevented. The crops
are immense, far greater than can be consumed in this
country, and can find a market abroad only at low
prices ; holding it back from the market, therefore, has
no other effect than to disorder the currency.
The following is a table of the leading items of such
of the banks as have been refused by the State Bank at
their last return, as compared with the same items, at

And in what manner is the extra wealth forced
from the people by a bread-tax spent by the land-
owners? In idle and wanton luxury. They have such
superfluous riches that they must squander them on
tournaments or dissipate them in drunken, ruinous
brawls. They are at a loss how to get rid of theit
wealth and their time, and invent all kinds of strange
and even absurd pursuits that they may dissipate
the treasure they wring from the poor. To
them hundreds and thousands of pounds are
nothing, and they can form no conception of the
immense advantages, which adding 2s. a week to
the wages of the labourer, by ceasing to tax his
bread, would confer on him.

We know that cunning persons have sought to
persuade the labourers, that if the landlords were
not to tax the labourers' bread 2s. per head per
week, that sum would not reach the working man.
Supposing such an assertion to be true—sup-
posing that the capitalists and shop-keepers,—
which is the argument,—would fleece the labourer,
that surely is no justification of the landlord's doing
so. On the contrary, what they condemn in others
must be wrong in themselves, We, however, do
not believe that the capitalists and shopkeepers
would intercept this advantage on its way to the
labourers. On the contrary, they are obliged to
give an increased price for everything which they
sell or use, and must charge not only that to
the consumer, but something more as interest
for the larger sum they expend. If the
sum, therefore, which the landlords levy on the
labourers by taxing their bread would, if remitted,
allow them to receive, each man, two shillings more
per week, they would be still further benefited by
the reduction of the amount of capital, on which
they have to pay interest, now required to be em-
ployed in supplying them. It is clear, therefore,
td us that the sum now appropriated by the corn
tax to the wealthy landlords would be, were that
tax abolished, diffused among the working classes,
and where discontent and despair now reign it would
carry comfort and contentment.

This shows a large increase of circulation, in pro-
portion to the increase of loans up to the commence•
ment of the present year. Since that time a great
change has been wrought by the holding policy, and
the operation of the new system. The object now of
the commissioners to have the bills placed on a par with
the city funds, will, in the present state of affairs, be a
benefit to the community ; but the effect on the safety
fund money will be, by making it more valuable than
the red back, to drive it from circulation, and supplant
it with the State security money ; in the same manner
that the small bills of the neighbouring States occupied
the channels of circulation subsequent to the suspension
in 1837.

The amount in the State Bank is now about 800,000
dollars, and although this sum is seemingly not large,
yet it prevents her from affording the same accommoda-
tion to her dealers as is enjoyed by the customers of the
other banks. She, therefore, suffers by the withdrawal
of accounts more than she gains by the redemption.
The other banks would by entering into the arrange-
ment of receiving country funds at par, greatly ame-
liorate the present condition of the merchants, as a re-
cent law allows banks to pay out such bills as they re-
ceive at par.

Her MAJESTY'S ship Imogene, Captain BRUCE.
commander, arrived yesterday at Spithead, from
South America, bringing two million and a half of
dollars in specie. She brings no news of the least
importance. On arriving at Spithead, the Imogene
was ordered round to Plymouth, to be paid off.

The banks of this city continue an undeviating course
of discounting short business paper for as great an
amount as is paid in. The opinion that they would
suspend, which has been entertained in certain quarters,
is fast losing ground, although desperate attempts are
made to force them into it.

The Banks of Cincinnati have, with the exception of
the Commercial Bank, suspended for thirty days, ac-
cording to the provision of the Ohio law, which allows
that time before proceedings can be instituted against
them. There is every probability that at the expira-
tion of that time they will again resume, more especially
when they find that the New York Banks stand firm,
and the New Orleans market continues to be guided by
sound Banks.

REPORTED FIRE IN NEW ORLEANS.—There were
rumours in this city yesterday, of the entire destruction,
by fire, of the Second Municipality in New Orleans,
on the 9th and 10th instant. The truth or fallacy of
these we shall learn by this morning's mail. We traced
the reports to several letters which had been received
here from Mobile. They stated that passengers who
had reached there from New Orleans, reported that
soon after leaving the latter city, they saw a " large
smoke," and concluded that one quarter of New Or-
leans had been burned dovin. One Mobile letter, how-
ever, went so far as to say positively that the Second
Municipality had been destroyed.—New York Herald.

If the object of the French Government were
to render the Duke of ORLEANS a subject of uni-
versal ridicule—the laughing-stock of every militay
man in Europe—it could not take a better way
for the accomplishment of such a purpose than
that of filling the French Journals with such
pompous reports as those which occupy the Paris
papers of Wednesday descriptive of the farcical
marches and counter-marches of his Royal High-
ness in Africa. Our readers will hardly credit the
fact that the Journal des Debats devotes twelve
columns to the random campaigns of the Royal
Heir-Apparent, including an Official Report from
Marshal VALLEE of nearly four columns, full of
the most fulsome praises of the youthful hero, not
" of an hundred battles," but of as many marches
During the first week of the present month nine-
teen bankruptcies occurred in Paris.

The liabilities of the bankrupts amount to nearly
1,000,000 f. One of them exceeds 600,000 f., and two
others 100,000 f., but the remainder, sixteen in number,
are under this last sum. There were 858 failures in
Paris from the Ist of January to the Ist of November,
1839, and the losses amount to between 55,000,000 f.
and 60,000.000 f.
The Madrid Journals received are of the 6th
instant. They are barren of news of any interest.
The capital continued tranquil, but the people were
gloomy and dissatisfied with the conduct of the
Cabinet.

M. de Pontois, two days after his arrival at Constanti-
nople, sent off despatches to the Government. We speak
of despatches addressed to the President of the Council,
and not of those of a more confidential nature, which
are not addressed to any Minister. The contents of
the latter are not known. As for the despatches re-
ceived by Marshal Soult, they state in substance that
Admiral Roussin, having been informed betimes of the
arrival of his successor, had precipitately left Pere, and
had embarked, doubtless not to have the mortification
of installing M. Pontois, who takes his place. The
new Ambassador and his predecessor passed each other
at the distance of seven leagues from Constantihople ;
and the packet boats which had them on board not
salute each other. This neglect them
usual civilities
sufficiently shows in what light AdiniT4-Roussin looks
on his recal.

As for the reception he has met with at Pera, M.
Pontois could not perceive that the Frank merchants,
especially those cf our nation, seem ill satisfied at the
removal of Admiral Roussin. A deputation of mer.
chants was to pay its respects to M. Pontois, and to
put him in mind how much it is the duty of a represen-
tative of France to conduct himself so as to afford effec-
tual protection to French commerce in the present
critical state of affairs. The observations which the
deputation will make to him will probably give him
much more information than the official or secret in-
structions which he received on his departure from Paris.
M. Pontois was scarcely installed in the hotel of
the Legation, when he hastened to go and see
Lord Ponsonby. He was extremely hurt at the
reception given him by the British Ambassador.
tie had been told that Lord Ponsonby is naturally
, irritable, passionate, and caustic, and he conducted
I himself in such a manner as he thought best calculated
to disarm the haughty Englishman. He thought, too,
that Lord Ponsonby, still irritated by his disputes with
Admiral Roussin, would be disposed to give a goad
reception to his successor, especially as M. Plontois,
when he left Paris, had no doubt but that England was
perfectly agreed with respect to everything relative to
the affairs of the East. He was, therefore, much sur-
prised at the haughty and austere manner of Lord Pon-
sonby, at his sallies against France, which he accused of
everywhere giving its support to usurpers and rebels,
and at the want of politeness to M. Pontois himself.
Lord Ponsonby went beyond the bounds of decorum so
far as to tell him that the business of an Ambassador
in the East required a long apprenticeship, and that it
would be some time before he would be able to find his
way among the intrigues which diplomacy has continually
contrived, and made more intricate for some years
past. He could not have used other language to a mere
novice.

Such is the substance of the melancholy accounts
which Mr. Pontois has given. This commencement is
not calculated to encourage him to present himself at the
Russian Legation, where, in the absence of good will
and cordiality, be will at least find the manners of good
company, and not those of a Lord of Northumberland,
insolent to everybody, and a great fox hunter. It is
even doubtful whether M. Pontois will not feel some
apprehension when he goes to the Austrian Legation,
where, notwithstanding very satisfactory official inter-
course, there is always an appearance of extreme reserve
and distrust towards the French Government which
is often carried to repugnance.—La Gazette de France

duty of 25 centimes per 1,000 kilogrammes.
The Minister of the Interior and Foreign Affairs

CONSTANTINOPLE, Ocr. 28.—0 n the 21st of this
month, the Porte in consequence of new deliberations
in the course of last week, addressed another note (the
third) to the Five Representatives of the European
Powers, in which the concessions that Sultan Mah-
mond had resolved to make to the Pacha of Egypt
are briefly rehearsed, on which the Porte observes, that
nd Mehemeton this basis there is every appearance that peace would
have been long since restored in Asia had not the Great
Powers by their well meant-interference
Ali, but since that
ference put an end to
the negociations which were at that time going on be-
tween the Porte a

Great Powers having undertaken anything for the
advantage of the Porte. Lastly, the Powers are
urged to take some decisive step, especially in case

the millers, although offered at rather less prices than on Mon-
day ; and in Foreign there have been scarcely any sales. Barley
was also dull, and Is. per quarter cheaper. Bean!, Pease,
and Oats as last stated. A slack demand for Flour this week.

SMITHFIELD.

The mildness of the weather for the last few days, with an
appearance of its continuance, has occasioned a dulness in the
trade, with no alteration in Beef or Mutton, but Veal met a
very slow sale, at a reduction of full Bd. for the finer sorts, and
4d. for the inferior. Pork did not meet with its late ready
sale, at a decline of 6d. per stone. Beef, 3s. 2d. to 4s. ;
Mutton, 3s. 10d. to 4s. Bd. ; Veal, 3s. 10d. to 4s. 6d. ;
Pork, 4s. to ss. ; Beasts, 594 ; Sheep, 5,570 ; Calves, 172 ;
Pigs, 482.
