otheiwiEe. Extensively as the middle classes have at
length roused themselves to act against the Corn-
laws, as our accounts from Yarmouth, Leicester, Bir-
mingham, etc., etc., prove, we certainly begin to be
alarmed lest their exertions are too late, and we dread
that nothing now can reconcile the people to
the Government. Either they must be ruled, we are
afraid, with a rod of iron, bound down in actual
slavery, coerced by a military force into obedience, or
the Government will be destroyed. So apparently the
Times thinks, for it has got a Correspondent to
contend, in opposition to the Standard—as if our
once vigorous Contemporary were cowed by, the
shadow of his own former power—that to abolish the
Corn-laws is essential to the Conservative interest.
Our Contemporary sees that the preservation of the
Corn-laws will be the ruin of the Constitution, and
he gives them up, though the other Tory Journals
cling to them as if they must be drowned were they to
let go their hold. We believe that the Conservative
Times is well aware of the consequence of abolishing
the Corn-laws, but in spite of its loud-mouthed at-
tachment to the Church and to the Tories, it is also
%yell convinced that nothing else than the abolition can
save the State—even if that can.

The establishment of an organised body of rural
police throughout England, on the plan suggested in
the Letter of Lord JOHN RUSSELL to the Earl of
DERBY, which will be found in The Sun of this day,
is a subject demanding the gravest deliberation. There
is much on the face of it to entitle it to consi-
deration—to recommend it to adoption ; but a
people so jealous of their liberties as the Eng-
lish, should reflect upon the possibility of some
future Minister attempting the destruction of popular
rights by means of the very institution established to
ensure the permanent and safe enjoyment of them.
Unless a rural police were placed under parochial in-
stead of magisterial controul ; and unless the rate-
payers were solely entrusted with the power of voting
the sums necessary for their support, in all cases
whatsoever, we confess that we should pause before giv-
ing our consent to the organization of. any force capable
of being made a State engine for abridging the con-
stitutional liberty of the people. It cannot be unknown
to Lord JOHN RUSSELL, that so jealous was the Par-
liament of England of a standing army, even since the
accession of GEORGE 111., that though threatened with
a French invasion, a motion for establishing fortified gar-
risons to defend Plymouth and Portsmouth against the
the enemy was not only rejected, but denounced as a
covert attempt to lay the first stone of a structure for
the maintenance of a military despotism. Though
such denunciations were ridiculed by the then
Ministers, strong in the purity and patriotism of
their own intentions, a very few years served to
convince them that the people were in the right.
The innovation now recommended is much greater,
and of a thousand times more consequence to
the nation, than the fortifying of all the naval stations
in the kingdom. As there is ample time for delibera-
tion, we trust that nothing will be decided hastily ;
and that, above all, the people will look with a jealous
eye upon any measure which directly or indirectly
trenches upon the constitutional liberty of the subject.
A power which the people can properly exercise
themselves, should never be entrusted to any Govern-
ment.

Despatches from Persia to the 13th of December,
by way of Constantinople, have been received at the
Foreign-office. The British Ambassador - (Mr.
M‘NEIL), was then on his journey from Teheran to
Tabriz, having been obliged a second time to break
off all diplomatic intercourse with the SHAH, who, fu-
rious on account of his disappointment before Herat,
had dared to menace the British Representative on
finding himself in safety in his capital. Mr. M'NEIL
is not a person to be daunted with the ebullitions of
craven insolence in a condition of fancied security ;
but finding that the SHAH had determined to revenge
his fancied wrongs upon England by the adoption of
Russian councils, he very properly withdrew from
Teheran altogether, leaving Colonel SHEIL in
quality of Charge d'Affaires, to watch over the
interests of the British merchants and sojourners in
Persia. Now we are not sorry that the Shah of
PERSIA has chosen such a moment to evince his in-
gratitude to the very Power to whom he stands in-
debted for the Crown which he wears so unworthily. We
believe that by this time there is a British force upon
his frontier, powerful enough, if properly directed, to
prevent him from playing such pranks in future, and even
to seize upon and retain ample security for a Persian
observance of the faith of treaties. A British settle-
ment on the Gulf of Persia is necessary for the pro-
tection of our interests, not only in Persia, but
India ; and such a settlement, if properly main-
tained, would answer all the purposes which
a patriotic but unscrupulous class of politicians anti-
cipate from a capricious change of Oriental dynasties.
With such semi-barbarous Princes as the SHAH
England cannot employ a moderate tone without sub-
jectin f.,* herself to a suspicion of weakness. The
conciliatory language employed by European Powers
in their enlightened diplomatic intercourse would be
regarded in the East as a relinquishment of every
claim to be treated otherwise than as a slave ;
nor are we without reasons for believing that to an
error of this description—trifling in itself, and arising
out of as trifling a circumstance—are we indebted for
the insolence displayed by the reigning SHAH, almost
ever since his elevation to the Musnud, towards the
Government, the policy, and even the people of Great
Britain. We are not unmindful that, owing to the
intrigues of Russia, a declaration of war against Persia
would be the signal for a rising of the Burmese ; but
as such an event has been well foreseen, the necessary
preparatory measures have not been neglected by the
Anglo-Indian Government. To attack us simulta-
neously in the East and West, has long been the po-
licy dictated to the Eastern Princes by the agenri
of the Cabinet of St. Petemburgh ; and we require
no stronger proofs of the zeal and unanimity with
which it is now acted upon, than the insults re-
cently offered to Colonel BENSON by the Burmese, and
Mr. -IVI‘NEIL by the Persian, Goveriunents. There is
nothing, however, to terrify or even to disconcert us
in the aspect of affairs in the East. By one bold,
decisive blow in Persia we can not only disconcert the
intrigues of Russia, but establish our power through..
out the whole peninsula of India.

The French Papers of Sunday announce a stagna-
on of political events in Paris. At eight o'clock in
le evening, the KING returned from Dreux, but no-
.hing took place indicating any determination respect-
ng the appointment of a Cabinet. The arrests for
disturbances in consequence of the high price of bread,
are becoming alarmingly numerous.
The Madrid Journals of the 20th do not contain anything
very interesting. In the Sitting of the Chamber of Deputies
of the 19th, a petition was read, which was signed by several
inhabitants of Barcelona, respecting the transportation of
several individuals to the Canary Islands, without any form of
trial, merely on the order of General Baron de Meer. A great
number of opposition Deputies spoke on the occasion. Baron
de Meer was the object of very vehement attacks; but the
Chambers, after having heard several speakers, resolved to
close the discussion, which was terminated without any further
result. A letter from Sanlona of the 19th announces that
Espartero had advanced with his forces towards Ramales,
The Journal du Havre contains the following letter from
Guadaloupe, 10th Dec., 1838 :
" The Governor of the Colony, taking into consideration
the deplorable state in which our unhappy country now is,
has convoked an extraordinary meeting of the Colonial Coun-
cil to communicate to it the draft of the Royal ordinance in-
tended to regulate the discipline of the Ateliers, and the seve.
ral relations which should exist between the owners of planta-
tions and the negroes. This proposed ordinance tends only
to confirm the facts which the custom of the Colony, or the
indulgence of the masters, had long since established. Ac-
cordingly, though doing justice to the good intentions of the
Governor, which had actuated him on this occasidn, the Colo-
nial Council contested his right to decide on questions which
appertain only to the Colonial Councils, according to the
formal list of the law of 24th April.
" The Governor, in his ordinance, proposed, among other
thingi'calculated to restore order and discipline in the Ateliers,
the inculium of the Slaves, Savings' Banks and compulsory
redemption. Now, to form an idea of the value of these
conciliatory measures, we need only to recollect that the Co-
lonial Council rejected all those measures years ago, either
as impracticable or as ruinous to the proprietors, or even il-
lusory as regards the welfare of the slaves."—Le Commerce.

AVAL COMFORTS.—On a late occasion when a
sloop of war was going out of this harbour, and a shower of
rain prevailed at the same time, a midshipman was prudently
seen walking the quarter deck with an umbrella over his
head : what would Hosier's Ghost say to this?

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY (THIS DAY), TWELVE' O'CLOCK.

LI7ERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MONDAY.--The transactions
in Cotton to-day are 4,000 bags, 1,400 of which were taken on
speculation. The Market closed heavily at last Friday's prices.
Arrivals this morning,--French mail, no ship letters.
Accounts from the Hague state that the Prince of Orange
set off on the 24th inst. at night for Bois le Duc, where his
head-quarters were transferred. All the Dutch troops were
concentrated on the Belgian frontier.
The Dutch army, in numbers, is superior to that of the
Belgians; but it must be observed that Holland at present has
only under its flag 75,000, while that of Belgium has 84,000.
We believe that the number of troops of each party is ex-
aggerated, and, should they come to hostilities, it will be
found that the armies will not be disproportionate. The Bel-
gian territory is more open to invasion than that of Hol-
land, which has strong positions, that of Maestrecht in parti-
cular, which will be made the point d'appui.
Extract of a letter posted at the North and South American
Coffee House, from Bristol 28th inst. :—" The passengers in
the Great Western were forced to go down to her near King
Road, as early as half-past seven ; when they reached her she
as stuck in the mud. At half-past four, P. M., when I left
her, there was not sufficient water for her to cross the Bar,
and not likely for two hours; she may proceed, being moon-
light, but up to tile present time, half past six, no account
of her sailing."
We are very barren of arrivals this morning, and the only
news of importance is from Constantinople, that our Envoy,
Mr. M'Neil, not being able to induce the Schah of Persia to
fulfil his promise, was about to leave the Persian territory, and
had actually set off with his baggage for Constintinople.
The great reduction in the price of wheat which took place
yesterday at Mark-lane must, no doubt, give great satisfaction
to the public, and more particularly to the middling and poorer
cla.ses of society. The general opinion is, that some of our
great speculators in the above article will suffer severely from
this reduction, which has cormp unawares upon them.
The New York packet ship Roscoe has arrived off Liverpool.
No Papers or letters have as yet been received. In alb pro.
bability they may arrive late in the afternoon.

CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

DENT V. BENNET r.-JUDGMENT.

The LORD CLIANCELLOR gave judgment today in this ease, which
was argued before the Court previous to the Christmas rec,ss. The.
bill was filed by the representatives of the late Mr. Dent, a gentleman
of large property in Lincolnshire, against the dcfendant, who is a sur..
goon at Barton-upon-Humber, for the purpose of having an agreement,
alleged to have been signed by Mr. Dent, delivered up to he cancelled,
and also for an injunction to restrain the defeedants from proceeding
with an action at law to recover the amount alleged to have been given
by t.l.e agreement to the dt•fetWant. Upon the ease coming bcfoie
the Vice-Chancellor, his Honour granted the injunction ; but the Court
net having ordered the agreement to be deli, red, up to be cancelled,
.the question for his Lordship now was, whether the plaintiffs were en-
titled to a decree for that purpose. The defendant alleged that Mr.
Dent had entered into th • agreement to give to him the sum of 25,0004
upon his death, in consideration of his medical a rakes, and out of gra-
titude to him for haying upon several occasions saved his life. His Lord-
ship, after going at Smile length into the facts of the case, which we
'gave at the hearing, stand his opinion to be that the agreement had
been obtained from the t,-•stator by fraud, or such other circumstances
as gave a Court of Equity the right of interfering, and thereibre that
the decree prayed for must be made, the agreement delivered up to be
cancelled, and the defendant must pay the costs of the suit up to the
time of his giving notice to sue in forma pauperis.
