TO CORRESPONDENTS.

We found it impossible to supply the immense demand
which was on Thursday made for the Golden
Sun. And we, therefore, continue to-day the
publication of that day's Paper in Gold, with her
Majesty's Portrait, giving an ample and complete
account of the Coronation, which we SHALL
KEEP ON SALE FOR SEVERAL
WEEKS, in order to satisfy the immense de-
mand. Those persons who wish to hare it will
please to order the " Coronation Sun."
N.B. We regret that several of our country Agents
have been disappointed in consequence of the
Post Office not being able to forward all the
Newspapers.

by Mr. SHAW LEFEVRE, by the Rev. RICHAND JONES,
one of the Tithe Commissioners of England and Wales."
The object of this pamphlet is to set forth that the true
interpretation of the existing law as to rating is, that the
whole ability of all persons is to be rated, and as it is
the practise not to rate the occupier's profit, a propor-
tionate reduction should be made on the rating for
tithes. This state of the law; however, is dis-
approved of by the landowners, who insist that the occu-
pier's profit shall not be rated in the rating of land,
and that tithes shall be rated to the full value. To make
that the law, or to appropriate a portion of the income of
the tithe owner, not to the purpose of education, but to sup-
porting the poor, so that the landowner may be proportion-
ately relieved, is the purport of a Bill now before the
:lenge of Commons, and which bears on it the names of
those true sons of the Church, Mr. SHAW LEFEVRE and
Sir EDWARD KNATCHBULL. This is, in fact, an
Appropriation Bill, not clause, brought into Parliament by
the landowners, and the Tithe Commissioner implies that
it has been brought in under the false pretence of declaring
the law, while it actually creates an entire new law.
With the squabbles of these gentlemen as they affect each
other we have no concern—but we wish to inform our
rea lers on the authority of the Rev. Mr. JONES, that
there exists throughout the country a contention between
the land-owners and the tithe-owners, and that the
country but for Sir EDWARD KNATCHBULL'S Bill to settle
the question by appropriating a part of the revenues of the
Church to the use of the landowners was on the point of
being " inundated with appeals" arising from this dispute.
The Tithe Commist•ioners' tables and the Poor-law Com-
missioners' tables are covered, it is said, with the com-
plaints of the tithe owners. Now in this dispute, on
the old proverb, that " when rogues fall out honest
men come by their own," we see great consolation and
great hope for all those who must cat their bread by the
sweat of their brow. The two parties are exposing in no
gentle terms the injustice of each, and divided, as they now
are, the honest labourers will triumph the more easily over
both.

We are not sorry that the committal of the Bill for
conveying the mails on Railways, has been postponed. The
House of Commons will come to the consideration of that
important measure much better prepared to legislate than
it would have been, had the Bill been proceeded with
without interruption. One Railway Company, and that
too the one which has got possession of the main line of
communication between the southern and the northern parts
of the kingdom has, within the last few days, displayed a
spirit which shews pretty plainly with what a tender impar-
tial, and conscientious regard to the public accommodation,
it is disposed to exercise the enormous power committed
into its hands by Parliament. Had any person said, even a
week ago, that any Railway Company was capable of so be-
traying the public trust which it had received--of so grossly
violating the principles on which it obtained its exclusive
privileges, as from motives of personal spite, to refuse to one
individual the accommodation which it affords to every
other—he would have been denounced in the most indignant
and grandiloquent phraseology, as a calumniator of the
blackest description. The Companies would have been
declared utterly incapable of so great a breach of faith with
the public. It would have been said, as indeed it was
said, that their most anxious desire was, not to abuse their
monopoly, but to exercise it with the greatest possible
moderation, and the utmost regard to the convenience of
the public !

But see how these and other fair and flattering promises
are fulfilled! The moment that we :in the discharge of
our duty, oppose what we consider the extravagant
and pernicious pretension of the Railway Companies,
to be exempted from Parliamentary controul—though they
exist but by the breath of Parliament—they turn round
upon us and say, " You shall not have the benefit of our
Railway."

It may be said that this is but a solitary instance, not a
general practice, and therefore the public convenience is
not in danger. None but fools or knaves will argue thus.
What is general practice but an accumulation of solitary
instances? If the London and Birmingham Railway
Company may commit one act of injustice and oppres-
sion with impunity, it may commit a thousand or
a million of such acts. It is against the power
of perverting privileges granted for the public good into an
engine for the gratification of private pique that we pro•
test, and call for the interference of the Legislature to pro-
tect the rights of the public. Unless the Legislature do
so interfere it will come far short of its duty. Nothing
ought in future to be trusted to the discretion or good
feeling of Railway Companies which can by possibility be
made the subject of a legislative enactment, for it is clear
that unless a tight rein be held over them, they will sacrifice
every other consideration to a cupidity as unprincipled as
it is exorbitant, or rather insatiable.

We confess that the declaration of Mr. O'CONNELL last
night, coupled with the great meetings lately held in Ire-
land, on the subject of tithes,is alike ominous to the peace
of that country, and the settlement of this long-agitated
question. " The Irish people," be said, "are determined
not to pay tithes, and pay them they will not." We have
ourselves said this weeks ago, and advised the Legislature
to allow the Tithe Bill to stand over, because it was be-
yond the power of Parliament to settle the question except
in the manner required by justice and the people. What
then is to be the result ? Is the sword to be drawn at
last to enforce the payment of this tax, for an object
which the people detest, or are the Protestant
Clergy to rest satisfied for a time with what they
can get by Exchequer processes, till by the un-
animous consent of landlord and tenant, tithes in that
country are extinguished for ever ? One or other alter-
native appears more than probable. The landlords dislike
the Poor-law Bill, because it will compel them to find sup-
port for the poor, and they naturally reason that as that
was one of the objects for which tithes were instituted, they
will continue to fulfil their part of the contract if they relieve
the poor, though they leave the Parson, whose faith they ab•
jure, to provide for himself. We believe this is a very general
feeling among both landlords and tenants, and in this feeling
the lower classes warmly participate. What other result
could be expected ? The high Church party by their fool-
ish obstinacy in hitherto rejecting. every Tithe Bill founded
on any principle of common sense and justice have driven
the Irish Catholics to this extremity. They would not
grant the people of Ireland even the paltry sum 0150,003/.
a year out of (300,0001. for moral and religious edu-
cation, and when the Government are forced to
submit an I leave the appropriation clause a dea I
letter, the people naturally say to the Legisla-
ture, " You refuse to listen to this small—this just re-
quest, and we refuse to listen to your law." --- The
Protestant Church of Ireland is allowed by all to be an
anomaly in the history of Churches, since the Christi In
faith was established. In France, in Holland, in Prussia,
and in every European country where Protestantism and
Catholicism exist together, provision is made for the
clergy of both by the State. We follow the same general
law in our American possessions—we have allowed
Scotland to abolish episcopacy, and give the tithes to the
Clergy of a Republican Church, because the people willed
it ; yet we not only support Protestant Episcopacy in Ire-
land, where it is equally hated as it was in Scotland, but
we refuse even the tithe of a surplus for the indiscriminate
education of the people. The Irish have justice,
example,
and we believe power on their side, and with these ad-
juncts they will not easily be defeated. The general voice
of a nation when political rights are concerned, has rarely
been silenced, and when these are mixed up with reip,ion it
has always been triumphant. Tithes will cease to 113 pairl
to the Church, anal the great duty of Government now is
to see that they arc not grasped by the landlord.

The Hanoverian Deputies are playing the deuce with King
ERNEST AUGUSTUS' new draught ola Contitution. His Ma-
JEsT Y has already well nigh lost his wits, and it is whispered,
threatens, unless they behave themselves better, to quit the
kingdom altogether. VON SCIIELE and himself arc evidently
no match for the National Representatives, upoa whose
shoulders hove descended the mantles of the seven exiled
Professors. Take in proof of this the followiag extracts
from the Hamburg Papers received this morning :
Jc>ric
.25.—The ,notion or JI. Conradi, announced by Syndic Lang,
was agreed to to.day in the Second Chamber, in the following terms:
—" The Estates will discuss the Constitution which has been submitted
to them by his Majesty ; but must, however, hold the opinion that the
Constitution which legally existed before his Majesty's accession to the
Government cannot be satisfactorily abolished, or altered, unless the re-
presentation established zceording to the Constitution {agreeing with
the proposal of the Estates r‘gattling the new Constitution), as well as
the provincial assemblies, have girt n their conSe.^t."
JvNe 26.—T0-day, in the Second Chamber, M. Conradi moved that

his proposal adopted yesterday by a majority of 34 to 24 should be im-
mediately sent to the First Chamber, and that the debate on the Con-
stitution should be suspended till the First Chamber had given its as-
sent. This proposal, which was supported by many Members, is put on
the order of the day for to-morrow.
P S. The whole proposed Constitution has been rejected on the first
discussion by a majority of 37 to 23. M. Levit, the royal commis.
sinner, was not present in the Chamber to-day.—Hamburg Papers,
June 29.

Lower Canada journals to the 7th ult. inclusive have
been received. They contain a proclamation by the Etul
of DURHAM offering a reward of 1,000/. for the apprehen-
sion of any person concerned in the burning of the Sir
Robert Fed steamer, and another by Governor MARCY
offering various sums for the apprehension of individuals
therein named, suspected of having participated in the
commission of that outrage. They also bring c -pies of an
address of the authorities of Quebec to the Earl of DUR-
HAM, with his Excellency's answer, but neither of these
documents contain a syllable, the perusal of which could
interest our English readers. They are merely a formula
of no-meaning civilities. The following appointments were
officially announced on the 2d of June :

His Excellency the Governor-General has been pleased to summon to
Executive Council the following gentlemen :
The S,,cretaries of the General Government, viz. :

Charles Buller Ecq , M.P., Chief Secretary.
T. E. M. Turton, Esq , Secretary.
Colonel George Cooper, K. 11., Military Secretary.
The Provincial Secretary.
The Commissary-General.
His Excellency the Governor-General h:.s been pleased to make the
following appointments

To be attached to the High Commission,
Lieutenant-Colonel the HonouraWe Charles Grey, her Majesty's 71st
Regiment Light Infantry.

Tt. be Inspector-General of Hospitals, and of all medical, charitable
and literary institutims In the province of Lower Canada, Sir John
Doratt, Knight, M.D.

The whole of the Paris Journals of Sunday have been
received, but they are chiefly filled with accounts of the
Coronation of her Majesty, Queen VICTORIA. The Court
of Cassation has not only confirmed the sentence of the
Assizes Court passed upon HUBERT and his accomplices,
but superadded a fine of 300 francs ! The confirmation of
the previous sentence was surely sufficient, without increas-
ing a punishment universally regarded as the award of a
partial Court. In England no Jury would be found to
listen to the evidence upon which HUBERT and his asso-
ciates were convicted.

The following extracts are from the Journals :....
FRONTIERS OF SPAM—Carlist columns hate entered El Villa and
Chic's's.

Letters from Segorbia of the 14th ult., announce that Merino at the
head of 1,500 infantry, and with 280 good horses, was, on the preceding
day at Paveas. On the 14th, the factions of Viscarro and Forcadell,
occupied all the environs of Segorbia. The advanced posts have already
exchanged some musquet shot.
A letter from Castelton de la Planca says, that numerous factions
divided into columns, had entered on da Alcora Berriol Cabanes. Ac-
cording to the reports generally circulated among the partisans of Chris-
tina, and to the letters of Vinaroz, General Cabrera, had removed
his head quarters to Uldecona ; others affirm, that he has ad.
♦anted to Orta, on the banks of the Ebro, keeping his forces
in detachments in the defiles; and particularly at Las Armas
del Rey, a very difficult pass which may be compared to the
Pena d'Ordura. Cabrera has in the Ebro two launches, by means of
which he can pass the river when he ple.ises. On the 13th the bat-
talion of Christino Chasseurs of Oporto having received orders to march
from Valencia to Meviedro, one of the companies refused to obey its
°niers, pretending that it had not received the whole of its pay, and an
Engli.,hman named Owen stepped out of the ranks and advanced against
the Colonel. As soon as the battalion arrived at Meviedro a court
martial was appointed, and Owen, with one of his companions, sen.
tented to be shot, and eight others to be sent to the Presidio or to the
galleys. This severity has excited discontent among the troops.
The official part of the Moniteur contains the promulgation of the
law by which the laws of April 21, 1832, and May 1, 1834, relative to
foreign refugees, are continued in force till the end of the year 1839.
On the 28th September, 1837, anew Tariff of Customs was published
at Britavin, which doubles the import duties on almost all foreign pro-
ductions, and it was carried into effect on the 16th October following.
The King's Government lost no time in protesting against the applica-
tion of this tariff to French ships which were dispatched from Europe,
before it could be known in this part of the world, The Cabinet of the
Hague has paid due regard to the considerations of equity and recipro-
city brought forward on this occasion, and has given orders to the Go.
'tern:tient of the Dutch colonies to repay to the persons interested the
difference between the old and the new duties, levied on goods sent from
Europe to Java before the 15th March, 1838.—Journal des Debuts.

Letters and Papers from Madrid to the 25th ult. have
been received this morning. Subjoined is EsrmyrEno's
report of the victory recently obtained by him over the
Carlists of Penacerrada. For once the Christino Com-
mander-in-Chief writes without exaggeration, for we have
letters from Bayonne of the 28th, which state that 1,000
Carlists were made prisoners, and that fifteen of the
PRETENDER'S finest battalions were completely broken up
and destroyed. The Report is addressed to the War
Minister :

" PINACEERADA, JUNE 22.
" Excellency,—The army which I have the honour to command has
this day obtained two signal victories—the capture of this place with
all its ordnance, and the complete defeat of the enemy who defended
it, and whom we have driven from the formidable positions and para.
pets which they occupied.

" At the head of a regiment of Hussars I have pursued the enemy,
protected as I was by the columns of infantry. The rebels were then
thrown into confusion. We have captured four guns, arms, equipages,
and horses; 300 Carlists hrve remained on the field of battle, and
though I cannot at present ascertain the exact number of the prisoners,
we have made above 800.

"LUCHANA."

As a counterbalance to this success, the Government had
learned that the Carlists had seized upon a convoy of
thirty-five waggons between Madrid and Temblique, and
that a: courier with official dispatches for Generals NAR-
VAEZ and ALDAMA had been made prisoner. The inac-
tion of NARVAEZ was the subject of much surprise in
Madrid. No officer did so much to inspire
public confi-
dence, and none could do more than he is doing at present
to prove that it was ill-founded.
Rumours of intrigues to oust the Cabinet continue
in circulation. For the first time for several: weeks
we hear the name of Senor PILO Pizzanno mentioned as a
s2cret candidate for the office of Premier. MENDIZARAL
is not idle, though we are not informed to what extent be
has overcome the Regent's repugnance to his presence at
the council table.

The debates in the Cortes are uninteresting, and will
continue to be so till the loan affair is settled in some
shape or other.

For some time past no exertions on the part of the
Executive have been spared to extinguish the liberty of
the press in Soreden. The KING was in some sort driven
to adopt measures personally distasteful to him to quiet the
alarms of Austria, Prussia and Russia, who cease not even
now to remind him that to their forbearance is he indebted for
the Crown with which the genius of anarchy encircled the
head of a military adventurer. What feelings the con-
duct Of the KING has engendered in the breasts of his
hitherto loyal subjects may be inferred from the following
extracts from letters from Stockholm, published in the
German papers received this morning :
STDcsaot.m, Juxx 21.—The language lately tml by the ultra-Liberal
press has unhappily led to very unpleasant consequences. Yesterday a
great crowd assembled before the Town.hall, where 51. V. Crusenstolpe
it confined, and loudly demanded his release. Slaving of course refused,
the mob, among which, however, some persons of t he better classes were
observed, divided into sever.il bodies, one of which proceeded to the
house of the Antic Chancellor, another to that of the Chancellor of
Justice. Vehement threats were, it is said, uttered, in partieutaragainst
the latter, all whose windows were broken. The fe,lings of the savage
mob may be inferred from the fact that some of them remarkalthat this
was Fersen's day (the day on which Count Fersen was murdered twenty_
right years ago) ; while others vociferated a Percat to our emcellent
Ilerxelens (who was on the jury). Some hundred troops imme-
diately occupied the points that were threatened, and no further vio-
lence was attempted. The personal appearance of our beloved Crown
Prince, and of the Governor, Baron von Sprengporten, sufficed to
induce the people to disperse. Some of the rioters have been ar-
rested, but immediately released. We do not hear that any person has
been injured.
P.S This morning early, when I dispatch this letter, a large detach-
ment of troops is on foot, ordered, it is said, to escort M. von Crusens-
tolpe to the fortress of Wasehohn, and to maintain public tranquillity,
which it is hoped will not be further disturbed.
STOCKUOLM, JUNE 22.—Baron von Sprengporten, Governor of the
capital. has published a proclamation, in which he warns the citizens
against taking part in such criminal excesses as those of the preeed.
ing evening, thou;h the good conduct of the inhabitants hitherte
gives him reason to hope that nothing more of this kind will take
place. Ilis Majesty has ordered a strict investigation to be made into
this affair.

For the following summary of the latest news from Por-
tugal, we are indebted to a second edition of our Contem-
porary the Morning Post. All is again tranquil in Listien,
but the seeds of social disorganization have taken too deep
root in the heart of the nation to be easily eradicated. We
have no confidence either in the stability or the controul-
ing influence of the Portuguese Ministry :
LisnoN, Jes 26.—The whole of the men belonging to the six bat_
(aliens of National Guards ordered to Le disbanded have quietly given
up their arms, so that Ministers have been spared the necessity of re-
sorting to harsh measures for the purpose. The troops which had
been stationed on the Aleantara-square have consequently been with-
drawn to their barracks, and every thing has aisumed its former state or
tranquillity. he fellow who attempted to assassinate Viscount S: da
Bandeira :3 already in custody, and Captain Franca, R.N., the famous
former Inspector of the Arsenal and leader of its workmen, has been
ordered immediately to cm' ark for Mozambique, on board the Don Pe-
dro brig of war, there to assume the command of the small flotilla on
the station—a sort of honourable banishment which that officer has re.
fused to submit to, pretending that his state of health will not admit of
his going on active service. Captain Olinapo, R.N., the former Major_
General of the Navy, has been ordered upon some scientific tour through
various nations of Europe. Two of the six district judges of the ca-
OW have been dismissed in consequence of the occurrences on the 14th.
Their Majesties left Lisbon for Cintra on Sunday, about three o'clock
P sr., intending to spend a couple of months previous to the return to
the capital for her Alaesty's lying. in, having entered on her fith month.
Prayers will be off:red up throughout the country on the 29th and 30th
instant, and Ist July, for the Queen's happy delivery.
Remechido and his confederates have been very quiet of late in the

Algarves. This is owing to the additional energy they witness on did
part of the Queen's troops.
'Alters from St. Übe's stato that the Custom.house officers and boat.
men stationed at that place go about asking charity, because they have
not been paid for a long time past, consequently the smugglers who may
chance to arrive near that spot will not find it a very difficult thing to
land their merchandise with safety.

The merchant ship Lizia left on Sunday for the Brazi's, with no less
than 253 Portuguese settlers on board, The number that have gone to
that country, both from Portugal and the Western Islands within the
last eighteen months is said to exceed 18,000, and as it keeps on the it,
crease, the. subject becomes one well worthy the serious consideration of
the Government, because so far from Portugal having any population to
spare, it stands in need of additional bands to cu'tivate its territories.
The steamers Braganxa and Iberia, with the mails from England and
the Mediterranean, respectively, arrived on the 23d and 24th, and the
latter starts for Vigo and Falmouth within half an hour, having eighty
passengers on board, General the Baron de Faro being of the number.

.
A statement has just been published showing the falling off which has
taken place In the population of the settlement at Macau, which ex-
cee,:cd 19,500 inhabitants at the end the seventeenth century, and
in 1835 there were but 5,093, viz., 3,793 whites, of which 2,306 were
women, and 1,300 slaves, of which 831 were likewise women. It would
appear front some very old documents that there were 000 Portuguese
in the place as far back as 1583

HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.)

The House sat to-day to hear Scotch Appeals. The Lords
present were the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Leinster, and
Lord Sondes.

NIACKENZIE V. One.
Their Lordships were occupied the whole morning with the
arguments in this case, which came before the House upon ap-
peal from the decision of the Court of Session in Scotland,
declaritng the respondents, the trustees of the late Mr. Gor-
don, of ha I a preferable claim for 25,0001. upon the
estate of Air. Alexander Norman Alacleod, to that of the
appellants

Mr. Knight Bruce and Dr. Lughington appeared for the
appellants, and Sir William Follett and a gentleman behind
the bar were Counsel for the respondents.
Mr. K. BRUCE had not concluded when our reporter left.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

GUINNESS' STOUT LABELS-INJUNCTION.

GUINNESS V. PORTEUS.

His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR had to rise in a quarter
of an hour after taking his scat in Court this morning, in con-
sequence of being unable to do any business, owing to the ab-
sence of Counsel.

Mr. BETHEL almost immediately sent into the private room
to say that he was instructed to apply for an Injunction. His
Honour at once admitted the parties.
The Learned Counsel then stated that he had to move on
behalf of Messrs. Guinness and Co., the great brewers of
what was called " Guinness' Dublin Stout," for an ex parte
Injunction against Edgar Andrew Porteus, an engraver
in the Strand, to restrain him and his servants or agents
from engraving, printing, publishing, or selling labels similar
to those used by his clients on their bottles. The affidavits
stated that the defendant was in the habit of engraving and
selling such labels to any persons who chose to enter his shop
and purchase them, and several that had been so purchased
were produced.
His HONOUR, after reading the affidavits, said that it ap-
peared to him to be a case for the interference of the Court.
Though the Court would not interfere to prevent the printing
of such things in themselves, yet, inasmuch as parties by that
printing invaded the copyright, which the plaintiffs had at law
for the purpose of enabling other persons to sell their
spurious malt liquor und r a mark which was the same as the
plaintiffs' mark, it was a case in which the Injunction ought
to go. It explained the rather extraordinary circumstance
that there should appear to be the enormous consumption of
Guinness' beer which appeared, because there was scarcely a
place either in London or in the country in which Guinness'
stout was not sold as it was said.—lnjunction granted.
