MIGHTY, because he has been supposed to have esta-
blished one natural law for the production of food, and
a:very different law for the production of people—so dif-
ferent, or so contrary, that:philosophers of the Bishops'
school have unhesitatingly asserted that all the vice
and misery of the world, in all ages, have arisen from
the difference. So striking and so all-pervading have
been the deductions from this difference, or from the
doctrines which go by the name of Mr. MALTHUS,
that they have been called into use to explain most of
the past phenomena of society, and have been held so
sufficient, as to make another favourite doctrine of the
Bishops—that of original sin—seem wholly unnecessary
to account for the wickedness of mankind. Those
doctrines are now verymuch accredited, much of modern
legislation is based expressly on this presumed diffe-
rence, or opposition between the natural laws which
are presumed to regulate the production of food and the
production of people ; and much doubt is nourished, in
con3equence, in all minds, both of the goodness and
wisdom of the CREATOR. But we have in our Corn-
laws an artificial restriction on the production
of food, both at home and abroad, which relieves the
attributes of the ALMIGHTY from such worse than
atheistical imputations, and stamps the legislative be-
lievers in the doctrines of a surplus population, whe-
ther Bishops or Squires, who support the Corn-laws,
with the attribute of extreme folly, as well as extreme
wickedness. They act in the teeth of their own
theory. According to that, no encouragement given
to the production of food can cause it to increase so
fast as population, particularly in a limited and
long settled country ; and here we find them ac-
tually prohibiting our people from having recourse to
other countries, or to extending the limits of the dis-
trict from which they draw their regular and continued
supply; and actually, therefore, they condemn the people
whose happiness they pretend to provide for, to all that
vice and misery which Mr. MA LTHus has demonstrated
to be the means by which the faster growing popula-
tion is kept down to a level with the slower increasing
food. What epithet can we justly apply to such
a complication of folly and wickedness ? Wc know
but one, and that is devilish, or demonaic, and hence-
forth we propose to call the Corn-laws—which are
sanctioned by the Bishops, and which are maintained
that they may have tithes and the Clergy be sup-
ported in opulence—the Devil's Laws.

How much suffering, and how much of lamenta-
tion, arise in the world from a single bad harvest
How much murmuring, how many doubts of the
Supreme wisdom, spring up in the mind of man,
from one of those blights which destroy, in one
night, the labours and the hopes of the husband-
man ! How much of distress and disease come into
the world, thinning the ranks of the poorer classes
by the pangs of want and the quicker and more be-
neficent agency of fever, from one wet summer and one
deficient harvest ? But what a small proportion of
misery can all that bear to the misery caused by the
Devil's Laws, which doom many thousand acres to re-
main untilled, and are equivalent to a perpetual suc-
cession of blights ? No laws were ever so abominable
or so wicked, for they impose sterility equally on
Poland and England, and continually inflict the
pangs of want in both countries on thousands of
human beings, and starve them out of existence. They
do still more mischief. They prevent the formation of
those commercial ties between different political nations,
which knit them together in bonds of amity and peace,
and promote war and slaughter to get rid of that surplus
population they will not allow to create food for themselves
and for their offspring. If laws of which the effect
are to introduce famine, pestilence, and war amongst
mankind—all that vice and woe and misery which are
the giant agents in everywhere keeping down popula•
tion to the level of subsistence—be not the Devil's
Laws, though they be enacted by the Bishops, what
can deserve the name ?

We made a brief allusion a few days ago to the
exclusion of THORWALDSEN'S Statue of Lord
BYRON from Westminster Abbey, by order of the
Dean and Chapter of that Cathodral. We are in-
duced to offer a few observations on the subject,
mainly in consequence of the narrow-minded view
which some of our Contemporaries have taken of it.
That the Tory Journals should have applauded to the
skies the bigotry of Dean IRELAND and his asso-
ciates is nothing wonderful—nothing even out of the
common way—for with them a Dean and Chapter are
infallible authorities. But we must confess, that we
did not expect to see the Morning Chronicle chime in
with the hypocritical cant which they have put forth
in such abundance touching this matter. We had
given our Contemporary credit for better taste and
sounder judgment than he has diplayed in the
article on BYRON, which we have this day quoted from
his pages.

Before we proceed to notice our Contemporary's
remarks more particularly, let us observe that it is a
matter of very small importance, as regards Lord
BYRON'S fame, whether or not the Dean and
Chapter of Westminster admit his statue into
that place in which the monuments of the illustrious
dead are deposited. Nothing that they, in their ephe-
meral existence can do, will shorten, by a single hour,
the duration of that fame which will be fresh and fair
when Deans and Chapters shall be no more. BYRON
has raised his own monument, of materials far
more durable than any which the sculptor or the
painter can employ, and it will be co-existent with the
language of his country. All, therefore, that Dean
IRELAND and his brethren can do in this case, is to
afford to the public an additional example of the
bigotry and malignity which dwell in the bosoms
off thoroughbred Churchmen.

When the Morning Chronicle says that churches
are not proper places for the exhibition of works of art,
and that if BYRoN's statue were erected in the Abbey
" it would seem to show that private virtue was of lit-
tle consequence in the distribution of posthumous
honours," he forgets that that part of the Abbey in
which the monuments are placed, is entirely separate
fiom the part used for religious purposes. It is, as far as
devotional purposes are concerned, no part of the Church.
A monument placed there cannot, therefore, interfere
with any devotional feelings • and as to the objection taken
to the distribution of posthumous honours, without re-
gard to private virtue, our Contemporary must see that
if that be a valid one in this instance it applies equally
to the national commemoration of genius for which
he is desirous to establish a locality. Indeed if pri-
vate virtue be made a criterion for admission into
Westminster Abbey, the Dean and Chapter, in
order to be consistent, must begin by expelling
the greater part of the monuments, as well as of the
dust, in that holy place. But the truth'- is, that our
Contemporary has completely answered himself on
this point, for he has shown that if the rigid standard
which he and the Chapter have assumed be admitted,
neither CI-IA UCER ❑or SIIA KSPEA RE have any busi-
ness in the Abbey. In like manner, if Lord BYRON'S
claims in point of literary genius, be not, as the Morn-
ing Chronicle would have us to believe, of the highest
order, still he allows they are better than those
of the SHADWEL LS, the PRIORS, and the SPRATTS,
who occupy so large a space in the Abbey, and no-
where else.

The Morning Chronicle observes that Dr. IRE-
LAND, as a Churchman, " would consistently re-
fuse a place to men who have distinguished
themselves by hostility to the Church of England."
We say no; Dr. IRELAND, as a Churchman,

would act inconsistently in doing so, until he
has first relieved his " conscientious scruples"
and Poet's Corner from the presence of JOHN MIL.- I
TON, who, our Contemporary requires not to be told,
was not only a Dissenter from the doctrines and disci-
pline of the Church, but " distinguished" above all
men for the hostility which he displayed towards it in
his writings. What, then, is the conclusion which all
reasonable men must come to but this, that upon the
principles on which monumental honours, whether to
warriors, statesmen, or men of literary genius, have
hitherto been bestowed, Lord BYRoN's statue ought
to be admitted into Westminster Abbey ; and that
those who have taken upon themselves to exclude it
have acted partially and disreputably.

The Paris Journals of Wednesday have all been
received. The following extracts from them embody
all the news they contain of any political or general
interest :

Our readers will find under the head of " Spain" the re-
port sent by Gen. Oraa to the Governor of Saragossa, of the
action of the Bth, near Morella, which was announced by the
telegraphic dispatch. Persons who are used to the style of
the Christin o bulletins will at once see on reading this that if
the advantage really was on the side of Oraa it was very
trifling. We shall not be surprised if it should turn oilit that
the Christinos were defeated, as some letters intimate.

SPAIN.
(From the Novicio of Saragossa of the 15th.)
CAMP OF LA PABLETA, AUG, 11.
The heavy artillery and all the materiel reached the camp
without accident on the 9th, and all the divisions of the army
were united on the aame day. Cabrera made an effort
on the Bth, after sunset, by attacking suddenly and with
the forces of Llangostera, the first troops of Don Miguel's
division, which came to occupy the spot where they went to
encamp, at the hermitage of St. Marcus; but neither the
darkness of the night, nor the number of the rebels at the
beginning of the action, nor the advantage they derived from
their knowledge of the ground, could check the ardour of a
squadron of the King's regiment and the company of sharp-
shooters of the sixth of the line, which, having charged the
enemy, and given our infantry time to come up, repulsed
them, and forced them to quit a house of which they had
taken possession, and to return to their first position, which
they also abandoned the next morning at daybreak, retreat-
ing to the heights of Coracha.
Coba and Viscarro, who were encamped in my sight with their
forces, were driven from their positions yesterday morning by a
part of the division of Pardinas, which pursued them for a
long time.
The operations of the siege continue, and the communica-
tion of Morella with the adjacent country was cut off yesterday

evening.
The troops bear with patience and joy the privation and fa-
tigues inherent in operations of this kind, and are very eager
to meet the enemy.
The brave Ist battalion of the King's Regiment, protected
by our artillery, occupied yesterday evening the position which
the garrison of Morella held outside the walls of the town,
and maintained its ground there in spite of the brisk and con-
tinued firing from the fortress.

Saragossa, Aug. 14, 1833.—Gazette de France.
We read the following in the Courricr Francais ;—" A
journal which defends the interests of the northern courts (the
Quotidienne) wishes to be informed how the documents, by
the publication of which a threat is held out of continuing the
Portfolio, can have been abstracted without a recourse to frau-
dulent means. In spite of the inducements held out to us, we
shall enter into no explanations, simply because the documents
in question have not been abstracted. We can only say that
they are not spiritual mystifications, and that M. Pozzo di
Borgo is not a man to play the part of M. Fabricius. The
publication in question will probably be something more than a
slight mystification fur many of the friends of the northern
Courts, who are not anxious for the exposure of certain names.
There are men who imagine themselves entitled to dupe the
Goiernment of July, from which they nevertheless accept
functions, dignities, and honours. Of this privilege, to use
the words of Quotidienne, it would be as well to deprive
them. Nor will it be wholly uninteresting to give as much
publicity as possible to the ideas of the Holy Alliance relative
to the Spanish Peninsula, which bear some resemblance to
those of the French emigration during the reign of terror.
The Cabinet of St. Peteraburgh, though no doubt endowed
with great tact, is occasionally compelled to put pen to paper,
and from the moment that its writings may be laid before the
public, the possibility of keeping the illusion ceases. A po-
licy which is not only anti-French, but anti-European, loses
part of its force when it can be unmasked."
Twelve thousand inscriptions of the new Belgian loan of
fifty millions have been sent to M. Rothschild.
The Chancellor, Baron Pasquier, and the Duke de Gazes,
1 Grand Referendary of the Chamber of Peers, who are the
' guardians of the Etat Civil of the members of the Royal
family, have for several days had orders not to absent them-
selves from Paris. They are to hold themselves in readiness
to repair to the Tuileries, to draw up the requisite documents
at the accouchement of the Duchess of Orleans.

The Outre Mer quotes advices from Santiago da Cuba of
the 30th of June, which report that there had been a fresh
rising of the blacks in that part of the island called Trinity.
They had been, however, put down, and had returned to work
without any loss of human life. The Government intended
to forbid the southern parts of the island, and even, it was
said, the whole island, from holding communication with
Jamaica after the Ist of August, when the blacks were to be
finally emancipated.
The Helvetic prints counsel the Vorort to assume a war-
like attitude towards France, as may be seen in the following
extract from the Swiss Observer of the 17th inst.:-
" We have an army of 67,000 men, and a landwehr of
30,000. Nor is this all ; the militia registered amount to
170,000 inn, of whom 9,000 are arquebusiers (armed with
muskets, who fire well). The cantons of the west, which are
the nearest to France, present a mass of imposing militia.
Berne has 40,000 men; Vaud, 26,000 ; Geneva, 5,500 ; So.
leure, 2, 700; Basle (city), and Basle (country), 4,500. The
men of eastern Switzerland may also be depended upon. There
are 450 pieces of artillery disposable, and the arsenals are quite
supplied. Our soldiers are brave, but it is necessary that an
example should be set before them by their superiors. Let
but the Vorort take a worthy and firm attitude, and the nation
will second it."
Extract of a letter from Lucerne of the 19th inst. :-" At
a fresh interview which the Duke de Montebello had yesterday
with the President of the Diet, the French Ambassador corn-
muaicated to M. Kopp the special instructions which he had
received from Count Mole, and which enjoined him to demand
his passports Instantly if the Diet did not, without any restric-
tion, comply with the desire manifested in the note of the Ist.
The Duke called also the attention of the Bernese Avoyer to
the grave consequences to which the Confederation would ex-
pose itself in any longer resisting the will of France. The
President of the Diet replied with great coolness to the Duke
de Montebello, that Switzerland knew what she had to do
under existing circumstances; that she by no means desired a
rupture with France ; but that, on the other hand, she would
never disgrace herself by making concessions which would
affect her independence and dignity, or violate her system of
legislation ; and that her motto was-Fais ce que doffs,
vienne que pourra."

Brussels and German Papers have been received
this morning. We are happy to learn that the acci-
dent on the Bruges and Ghent Railway is not so
serious as was at first reported—•.two lives only having
been lost :

BRUSSELS, Auo. 22.—The day before yesterday, at eleven
in the morning, the King and Queen set out by the railroad
for Ostend. On the 27th the King will go direct to Be-
verloo and then return, whence he will go to England. The
train which met with the accident, by which two persons
were killed the day before yesterday, was that which ha been
specially appointed to take the King and Queen to Ostend,
and which was on its return. Every possible precaution had
been taken, and the accident was entirely owing to the keeper
of the swing bridges. The keeper had lighted the
lamp, which is a sign that the bridge is closed, and
had quitted his post, but forgot to close the bride,
so that when the train arrived the guides seeing the lamp
burning, thought all was safe, and proceeded ; the consequence
of which was that the first carriage fell into the river ;

Letters have been received from Constantinople of
the lst inst., both in Paris a, d London, Which staL

positively that a British force from Bombay had sailed
up the Persian Gulf, and taken possession of Bushire,
with a view to punish the SCHAH of PERUA, for the
insult offered by him to England, in the person of her
Ambassador. The following extract from the Con-
stantinopolitan Correspondence of the Chronicle of
this morning contains the fullest account of this affair
which has yet reached us :

The accounts which were a short time ago received her•
from Bombay, relative to movements of troops in that quar-
ter, and which were treated with so much levity, and as mat-
ters worthy of so little confidence by many incredulous persons,
have now, it appears, not only assumed a form which, as those
individuals would say, looks something more like consistency,
but have developed themselves in a manner calculated to asto-
nish some of those general detractors from England's Eastern
policy, and which will tend also to produce a material change
in the present position and future prospects of our Persian
affairs. The accounts to which I allude spoke, as will be
recollected, of a large body of troops being expected to
embark, but the destination of which, though reported for the
Persian Gulf, was not positively known. These troops, from
the intelligence now received, have not only embarked, but
have already ascended the Persian Gulf, landed, and made
themselves masters of Bushire. This important news was
brought here on Monday last by a Tartar from Bagdad, who,
under a promise of a large reward, bad performed the journey
from thence in seventeen days, having travelled with such
rapidity that two of the surrugees, or postillions, had died by
t a clay with over-heat and fatigue. A few hours after his
arrival a courier was dispatched by Lord Ponsonby to England.
The number of troops actually disembarked at the period
this intelligence left, and which may be supposed to be
only the first division of the intended expedition, is 2,000
men, though some reports make it out to be three or four
times that number; arid it is, according to some accounts,
also pretended that the news of this event having already
reached Herat, had immediately induced the Schah to recal
Mr. but that that gentleman had refused to return,
stating, that, having once forced him to retire, his Majesty
must now abide by the consequences. This latter report, how-
ever, is an evident absurdity, since it is quite impossible that
news which, with all possible dispatch, only reached here on
Monday last, can be even yet received at Herat (the journey
across the desert from Shiraz to Herat being at least twenty
days), much more that it should have reached there in time
for accounts to have been forwarded here, which would
require at least forty days more.

We trust that the intelligence thus communicated
will not prove unfounded. Further comment upon it
for the present would, in our opinion, be ill-judged.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.

MURDER.—John Clarke and Alexander Mitchel, the chief
mate and cook of a brig called the Eleanor, were indicted with
the wilful murder of Benjamin Driscoll, on the high seas, on
the 14th of July last.
John Carty stated, that on the I 4tll of July he was a seaman
on board the brig Eleanor, of which the prisoners were mate
and cook ; the vessel was bound from Quebec. On that day
w itness was ordered to the helm, the two prisoners and others
were upon the watch. When witness was relieved from the
helm he heard Yarmouth (the nick name for Driscoll) ask the
chief mate to let him go below, but he refused. Mitchel was
standing at that time at the fore hatchway, by the orders of the
mate to prevent Yarmouth going below. Yarmouth said he would
allow the boy to give him half a dozen on the bare back if he
would let him go below ; he also said he would take his trowsers
off and receive a dozen if he could only get twenty minutes
cr half an hour's rest below. The mate then sent for a point,
which was a thick plat. Yarmouth was placed on the windlass
and struck severely with the point. During the time he was
being punished, Yarmouth cried out, " For God's sake don't
hit me so strong." He was then punished with the nettles,
and cried out more severely than before. One of the pri-
sonsers struck Yarmouth, and the other held him down. Wit-
ness then went to his hammock, where he heard the Captain
calling on Yarmouth to come up on deck, but he could not
come up. The Captain then ordered three or four men to
bring him up. He could not stand he was hurt so much.
Some rum was fetched to rub his temples. Yarmouth's side
was dreadfully gored with blood. When the Captain saw it
he said that it was caused by his falling from the windlass on
the chain cable. Hartshorn was applied to his temples, which
caused a gurgling noise in Yarmouth's throat. He was taken
down stairs and died the same afternoon. Yarmouth's health
had been very good during the voyage, and he seemed very
lively that morning.

_
Cross-examined by Mr. CLaaKsoN—A point was a flat
rope, and nettles were small things like whip-cord. The mate
and witness had not quarrelled ; had said at the pay•table that
he would give Clarke a turn for giving him too much work.
The mate made Yarmouth dance Jim Crow between the wind.
lass and the fore-hatchway ; that was before he was whipped,
as he could not stand after it. Witness had run away frcrn
several ships, and would have run away from this if he could,
forte could not bear the treatment. The vessel did not touch
at any port after she left Newfoundland.
By Mr. Justice COLERIDGE—It was after witness and Clarke
had quarrelled that he went to the Poplar station and gave in-
formation. Never quarrelled with Mitchell.
Charles Cumming, who was also a seaman on board the
Eleanor, corroborated the evidence of the last witness.

Robert Edgar, a carpenter on board the Eleanor, remem-
bered the night between the 13th and 14th of July, when they
were off Newfoundland. Assisted in carrying Yarmouth on
deck by the Captain's orders ; he could not speak or move;
he died the same night.
Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON.—Quebec was a place
where it was difficult to get men ; those that were got had
generally run away from other vessels. Yarmouth, in the
bad weather, was accused of being a skulker. Carty and
Cumming were gruMbling about the soup during the whole
voyage. Witness had never seen any savageness or cruelty
about either of the prisoners.
By Mr, Justice COLERIDGE.—Had often seen the mate
shake the rope at Yarmouth, but never saw him strike him.
The lump on Yarmouth's side appeared to witness to arise
from cramp.
This was the case for the prosecution.
Mr. CLARKSON addressed the Jury for the prisoner, and
called several witnesses, who gave the prisoners excellent cha-
racters for humanity and kind treatment.
Mr. Justice COLERIDGE summed up, and
The Jury, after retiring for half an hour, returned into
Court, finding a verdict of Guilty of manslaughter against
Clerk, and acquitted Mitchell.

NEW COURT.
The COMMON SERJEANT at the sitting of the Court, stated
that bills had been found against 230 untried prisoners, and
threw out a pretty broad hint that the session would not very
speedily terminate.
Harriet Smith was indicted for uttering a counterfeit shill-
ing, knowing the same to be counterfeit.
The COMMON SERJEANT passed on the prisoner the miti-
gated sentence of three months' imprisonment in the House of
Correction, this having been her first offence.
Alois Bourman, and Carl Pheif, natives of Coblentz, in
Germany, were charged with having stolen on the 14th of
July last, from Henri Amrath, their fellow lodger, residing at
10, Finsbury-street, twenty-eight sovereigns, one half sovereign,
five dollar pieces, twenty-seven ten guilder pieces, and two
doubloon pieces.
The Jury found Bourman guilty, but acquitted Phief.
Bourman was sentenced to transportation for ten years.

THE MARKETS.

CORN MARKETS.

The boisterous weather has occasioned a small return of all
kinds of Grain this week. The weather being fine to-day, the
Wheat trade has become slack, and the advance of last day
was hardly supported, and some quantity of middling Wheat
is left unsold. In other Grain there is no variation from Mon-
day. The sale of Flour this week has been moderate, at for-
mer prices.

PROVISION MARKET.
Very little passing in this department in any article, and
prices without any variation from those of this day week.
HOP MARKET.
There continues to be very little business done in this mar-
ket, and prices are the same as they have been for some time.
The accounts from the Hop grounds are favourable, and the
duty is 160,0001.
TALLOW MARKET.
P. Y. C. to-day is 48s. on the spot, and 475. to arrive.
Not much doing.
COLONIAL MARKETS.
There is but very little passing in these markets, either by
public sale or private contract. B. P. Sugar continues to sell
languidly, and at prices which tend to deeline. The sales for
the week amount to a slender number of hhds. To- day I,l‘
had public sales of 50 brls. Trinidad Coffee, 80 bags Brazil,
both of which sold at previous rates, but the quantity is too
small to be any criterion to the market. Cassia Lignea, 600
chests, fetched about the prices of this day week, but did
not sell. Nutmegs 8 chests, and 69 bags Long Pepper,
fetched their former value, as did also 1,650 baskets ofSaltpetre. In fact there is nothing just now to produce any va-
riation in prices of Colonial produce. During the week there
has been but little business done, and with the exception of
Raw Sugar, which has declined in price, most other descrip.
tions of Colonial produce have been uniform in their value
this week with that of last. The imports continue
