country, we beg to state that the price of the
Coronation Sun has been invariably fixed at ls.

WITII WHICH
THE " TRUE SUN" IS NOW
INCORPORATED.

LONDON :
MONDAY EVENING. JULY 9. 1838.

We are glad to learn, from the Correspondent of a Tory
Contemporary, that the warmth of the pubic enthusiasm
in favour of Marshal SOULT, " far from being diatinished,
increases." The Correspondent of tho Post adds, as a
proof of his assertion,
" On Saturday the Mayor and two of the Corporation of
the second town in this kingdom, accompanied by the Direc-
tors of the Northern Railroads, waited upon his Excellency,
to invite him, in the name of the inhabitants of Liverpool, to
choose a day to do them the honour of diningr, with them, th,•
Railroad Directors engaging to convey his Excellency down
in ton hours and a half. We hear that the Marshal, hrin,r
engaged up to tlra 18:h or 19th, has accepted for the 901;
instant."

How must tliis mortify Mr. CaoxEn and his malignant
friends connected with the Qqarierlylleview TheCotr
pondent disclaims for the Tory pArLy any feeling of hostility t
the Marshal, and by inserting the communication the Post
makes the amende for its own indiscretion, and now sepe-
rites itself from those who, on the first appearance of Mr.
CHOKER'S effusion, puffed it into notice. Sir ROBERT PEEL
according to the Post, wag one of the foremost to discon-
nect himself from Mr. CROKER'S narrow-mindedness. Tire
Correspondent says :
" Among those who meat applauded Marshal S mit at the
Coronation procession was Sir Robert Peel and his friend:,
who stood forward at the Ctrlton Club waving their hats in
the warmest courtesy."
It is both prudent and rnerous in the Tories to
s;,. up %belr own Opinions and follow the lea! of
the mob, in doing homage to the illustrilus Mar-
shal. To the so-called mob, whom the Tories are
ever ready to abuse, and ever ready to obey, be all the
honour of the reception given to SOCLT. In spite of the
Tory journals, quarterly, weekly, and daily, they set the ex-
ample of applauding the Marshal, in order to con%ince him
and all Frenchmen that they have now buried those mis-
chievous national antipathies which the Tories on both sides
of the water nourished to the utmost of their power, that
they might more easily make two gallant nations the instru-
ments of their own mutual oppression. Liverpool does
wisely in following the good example of the mob, and if
the Marshal were to remain long enough with us, there is
scarcely a town in the empire that would not be emulous
of his company.

The correspondent of the Post, however, with the usual
tactics of the Tories, who can let no opportunity of
doing mischief escape, seeks to stir up the bile of the
dtherAmbassadors, because they are not honoured like the
Marshal ; but they are men of too much good sense to put
themselves in comparison with him. They are not known
to the world for their great deeds, but the Marshal is ; and
they know that the homage paid by the people of England
to him, is the homage to great talents and great achieve-
ments in an old enemy and a new fricmd. It has in it no-
thing slighting or insulting to Prussia or Austria, one of
whose Ambassadors at least has never before been heard of
in England.

The Ministers, who are frequently assailed by their
friends for not doing enough, are continually and vehe-
mently attacked by the Tories for doing too much. Their
recent appointment of magistrates is a case in point. To
infuse some liberal blood into the Bench, has long been
demanded by the Radicals. No sooner, however, does the
LORD CHANCELLOR, in the due exercise of his power, make
any such appointment, than all the Tory Lords Lieute-
nant assail him, and seem almost ready to rise in rebellion.
The great majority of the Peers are Tories ; the great
majority of the Lord Lieutenants are Tories ; the Lord
Chancellors for nearly half a century prior to 1820, with a
slight exception, were all Tories ; and hence the Bench,
and all the departments of Government, to the exclusion of
Whigs, and still more rigidly to the exclusion of ultra-
Liberals, was crammed with Tories. Between the sta-
tionary and the progressive principles of Government there
has long been an open contest in this country, and the party
which espouses the stationary principle, having been in office,
naturally thrust their own creatures and dependents into
every place. In spite of that, however, such is the force of
circumstances, that those who espoused the progressive
principle triumphed in 1830 over all the powers that the
Church, the State, and the Tory aristocracy, long in .posses-
&ion, could bring against them. But now that they have
got the reins of Government into their hands—and for the
safety of tho State they ought to hold them—they
fad all their measures thwarted and opposed by
she stationary party, who fill all the subordinate
offices. The Government is now divided against itself,
lied is weak and ineffective. The tail has a will as well as
the head, and works against it. Either the progressive
party must resign their hold of the Government which would
introduce a system hostile to the progress of society, and
therefore terribly destructive, or it must bring the tail into
obedience. Tory Lord Lieutenants must be made to know
that they are not independent princes ; Tory magis-
trates must retire from the bench if they cannot sit
there with Liberals. Tory subalterns must give up
their places or obey their chief. All the stationary
Tories must consent to be cast aside, and even
run over and buried in oblivion by the onward
moving society, or they must consent to go with it. A ,
politician who insists on maintaining things as they are, is
now as much in the wrong as a man on a railway train who
expects to stop the movement by his single arm. The
Tories may cry out against the LORD CHANCELLOR for
his manly conduct, b❑t it is only by such acts as his, bring-
ing the tail into obedience, that the Government can be
preserved, or execute its functions with vigour and success.

By the arrival of the Great tresterii steam-ship at Bris-
tol, at two o'clock, P.M., yesterday, we have received New
York Papers and letters to the evening of the 2.5 th ult.—
the date of her departure f)r England. Important extracts
from these Papers, particularly as regards the political as•
pest of the Canalas, will be found in another part of
The Suu. The Grevt Welkin Lriived at New York at

five o'clock, A.M., on the 17th, having made the outward '
passage in the incredible short space of fourteen days. Her
passage homeward was performed in twelve days and twenty
hours. The Sirius arrived at New York on the 18th, from
Cork, whence she sailed on the 31st of May—thus taking
nineteen days to make the passage outward. Ninety-two
passengers have arrived by the Great Western, of whom
sixty-six presented the following address to the Captain on
the arrival of the steam ship in King's Road on Saturday :

Saturday Evening, July 7th.
DEAR SIR,—We the undersigned passengers, in the Great
Western under your command, beg leave to assure you before
we part, that the passage has been in every respect as pleasant
to us, as it has been rapid ; the great strength of the ship has
enabled us in all weathers, to enjoy a sense of safety, as well
founded as could be in the best sailing vessel. The admirable
quality of the machinery, and its excellent position in the ves-
sel, so completely removed the usual discomforts of steam
navigation, and the disagreeable motion connected with it, that
we have often had to listen in order to know that the engine
was not stopped ; and your own conduct, so happily combining
the attainments of the man of science with those amenities of
the gentleman, and that authority, exerted in silence, which
may be expected in an officer of the British navy, added not a
little to our pleasures, and dictated at parting these lines; we
beg you to accept them as the expression of our feelings, with
every wish for your happiness and the complete success of the
Atlantic Steam Navigation.

(Signed by Sixty-six Passengers.)
The New York Papers contain no domestic intelligence
of especial interest. Never were the crops more promi-
sing ; consequently, the commEreialists are all in high spi-
rits. The Exchanges on London were rising, and specie
was becoming plentiful throughout the Union. Stiff the
money market was in a feverish state, sufficiently indicated
by sudden and unaccountable risings and declines in the
prices of various commercial securities.

Canadian Journals to the 16th ult. represent Lord DUR-
HAM as actively employed in the discharge of his high and
onerous functions. Various Addresses bad been presented
to his Lordship by the Clergy, the inhabitants, and the
masters and shipowners of Montreal and Quebec, congra-
tulating him upon his arrival in the capacity of Governor-
General, and promising him all the aid in their poser
towards the restoration of peace and security in every part
of the Canadas. His Excellency's answers were greatly
admired for the firm, but moderate tune, in which
they were delivered. He had sent the lion. Colot.el
GeF.Y with despatches to Mr. Fox, the British Ambassa-
dor at Washington, relative to the destruction of tho Sir
Robert Peel, together with a private communication from
himself to President VAN BUREN, on the same subject.
The Noble Earl authorised Colonel GREY to seek an in-
terview with the PRESIDENT, for the purpose of clearly
ascertaining the opinions of the United States' Executive,
regarding the various outrages that bad taken place
since the commencement of the late rebellion. In the
mean time, a gang of pirates, principally Canadian re-
fugees, have established themselves among the Thousand
Islanis near the juncture of the St. Lawrence with Lake
Ontzeio. They arch said to be under the command of a
Canadian buccaneer, called " BILL JOHNSON," who
figured as a spy during the last American war. This
scoundrel has publiThed a proclamation, which we have
given elsewhere, in which be sta'ea that ho directed the
Bering of the Sir Robert Peel. Unless great caution be
observed, the machinations of these ‘iilains to kindle a war
between Great Brian and the United States may unfor-
tunately prove successful. Now that their fell purpose
is announced it will become the duty of the United States'
Gevernment to deny them the sanctuary of its soil, and to
unite heart and hand with the Beitish authori:ies is extir-
pating them. They are riot only our eneinis, bat the
enemies of all social order.

There will bc found elsewhere iu our Paper an account
of a fatal accidtait which occurred on the B:rmingham Rail-
way on Saturday last. It appears that one of the guards of
the Company's carriages, in passing under the arch of a
bri:!ge on the had hi; head dashed to atoms against
the keystone of the bridge. The bare possibility of such
an occurrence is in itself a deep reflection on those whose
province it is to superinteni the affairs of the London
and Birmingham Railway Company. Their very first,
and most important duty, is to take ca-c that
every possible precaution shall be taken against
danger to the lives entrusted to their charge. In
this case it is quite clear that the carriage on which this
unforonate man was when he lost his life, and the arch-
way through which it had to pass, are not constructed in
due proportion to each other. It is supposed, forsooth, by
way of extenuation, that the guard must have been in an
erect pasture when the collision with the arch took place ;
but what an excuse is this! Is it not the most wanton
sporting with human life, if safety or destruction is made to
depend on the angle at which a m7n's body is inclined on a
vehic!e darting forward at the rate of thirty, forty, or fifty
miles an hour ?

The overland despatch has arrived this morning from
India, bringing aecounts from Calcutta to the 9th, Madras
12th, and Bombay 21st May.
The political news is of little importance, with the ex-
ception of a rumour that in the event of a collision be-
tween us and the Burmese, the latter will be supported by
the Nepaulcse. Some of the most impregnable of the
hill forts are under repair, and a wooden barrier and
intrenchment is being erected conterminous to our ter-
ritories.

An impostor, calling himself PERTAUB CHUND, and
claiming the Raj of Burdwan, has been apprehended, but
not before four of his numerously armed followers had been
wounded by the military. Three Europeans were found in
his train—one of these an attorney, who has been lodged in
the gaol of Burdwan.

Fever and cholera are still prevalent to an alarming
degree in Calcutta and the suburbs.
The station of Mozufferpore was visited on the 28th
April with a fearful calamity. Nearly the whole of it has
been destroyed by fire. The property consumed must be
immense, as houses of every description, amounting to some
thousands, were devoured by the flames. It was said that
more than 100 natives had lost their lives.
By letters from Herat, received in India, it appears that
the forces of the King of PERSIA have been besieging the
fort of Herat for seven months past, but by the bravery
and boldness of KAMRAN SHAH, the ruler of that place,
the fort remains unconquered. Large quantities of grain
is stored in the fort, and plenty of wells. The Shah of
PERSIA asked his Courtiers to assail the fort at once, but
they advised him not to do so, as there would be a great
loss on his side. The SHAH has determined to take the
fort, or die in the attempt.

Advices from Constantinople, of the 16th ult., announce
that MEHEMET ALi's renunciation of all further alle-
giance to the SULTAN was officially communicated to the
European Consuls in Egypt on the 4th of May. When
the intelligence reached Lord PONSONEY he at once made
it known to the Porte. The SULTAN'S rage was un-
bounded, and were it not that his Lordship, in conjunction
with the French Ambassador, prevailed upon his Highness
to await instructions from their respective Courts, hosti
lities would have commenced forthwith. The answers o
the Cabinets of London and Paris are anxiously awaited at
Constantinople.
Th

.e Paris Journals of Friday and Saturday, the whole
of which have come to hand, contain no news of political
interest. In the Chamber of Peers on Friday the Marquis
Da DREUX BR!ZE put some questions to the President of
the Council relative to the Hollando-Belgic question,
which the Minister declined answering, on the ground of
inexpediency. The trial of Lieutenant LAITY, fixed for
this day, is the leading topic of discussion in these Journals.

AsTwEr:r, JZ:LY 7.—'l'n? annual account of the situation
of the provirca of Antwerp gives a comparative view of the
commerce an.] navigation of the port during the last 3-years.
Thus it appears that there was in 1837 an increase of
48 951 tons above 1836, and of 72,787 tens al:ove 1833. This
increase is chiefly in the arrivals from the North, wida corn
and t tnl9:r. Our exprts consisted of raw produce of different

kinds, manufactured articles, and refined sugar. In the latter
article there was a great falling off. Tho quantity exported
In 1836 was
1837

Decrease 3,787,704 Kilos.
The transit trade has declined very considerably. The port
of Antwerp possesses sixty-one ships of all classes and dimen-
sions, measuring in all 10,010 tons, including two Belgian
steam-boats which ply between Antwerp, and measure 1,222
tons.—Journal du Commerce d'Anvers.

The Emperor arrived here last night at 12 o'clock. The
city was illuminated. The crowd, which filled all the streets,
received him with acclamations, which attended him from the
barrier of Marymount to the Laziensky Palace, where he
pacsed the night. This morning, at eight e'clock, the inde-
fatigable monarch was in the camp at Brelsky, to inspect the
troops. To-day there is to be a dinner to the principal staff
officers. The Emperor will stop here six days. The Arch-
duke Ferdinand of Austria resides in the Belvedere.

Letters and papers from Madrid to the Ist inst. inclu-
sive have boon receivAl this morning. Count AFALIA
continued to maintain his position as Premier, though
PILA PIZARRO was trying hard to oust him. On the
25th General OItAA marched from Valencia at the head
of a large force, ha% ing staked his warlike reputation to
annihilate CABRERA in two months. On the 20th Ge-
neril PARDINAS and his staff left Madrid for Lt,wer Ar•
rigor. The proceedings of the Cortes are of no interest
On the 28th the Senate resolved itself into a Committee to
take into consideration the proposals of M. AGUADO and
the Messrs. ROTHSCHILD to farm the mines of Almedflen,
but of its deliberations nothing had transpired up to the
date of the adv:c2s.
