THE " TRUE SUN" IS NOW
INCORPORATED.

LONDON :
TUESDAY EVENING. OCTOBER 23, 12311.

It seems to be the prevailing opinion among all
persons who have turned their attention to the subject,
excepting always those who write against every Go-
vernment measure, good or bad, that in the ensuing
Session of Parliament Ministers ought to propose some
plan for carrying into effect the recommendations of
the Irish Railway Commissioners. Indeed it is almost
obvious that without the assistance of the State the
three great lines of road proposed cannot be completed.
The Irish landlords have no money to spare for
such undertakings. English capitalists do not like em-
barking property in that country, and even if they
had no prejudices in that respect, the calculation of
the Commissioners that not more than 4 per cent.
could for years be realized on the capital expended
would be sufficient to deter men from risking their
money in such a speculation, when they calculate on
at least double the amount of profit from similar un-
dertakings in England. The State, too, has a manifest
interest in promoting these lines of communication ; it
has facilities superior to those which any private com-
pany could expect, and would gain probably more in
a few years by the increased consumption of ex-
cisable articles than the whole sum required for
the completion of the works. Independent of
these circumstances employment would thereby be
given to thousands who must be fed in workhouses,
or shipped to the colonies, at an expense which in a
short period would amount to no trifling proportion of
the original outlay. The two great lines to the South
and North would not cost more than five millions ;
and when Mr. SPRING RICE and his colleagues re-
flect what benefit might be done by expending that
sum at the rate of about a million a year, and what
results may, with mathematical certainty, be expected,
they cannot hesitate for a moment as to the course they
ought to pursue. Of course we take it for granted that
they are to act like men of business—that every
precaution is to be taken against jobbing, and that
enormous sums are not to be awarded by interested
parties for allowing a railway to run through an
estate which that very railway makes doubly valuable.
The extravagant compensation granted by Juries in
England for what are called damages, but which in
reality are great benefits—the enormous sums ex-
pended in contesting lines which might have been
settled by a Government survey at a trifling expense—
and the heavy tax which, in consequence, the public
must for ever pay, are great blots in our Municipal
and Legislative system, and ought to have long
ago occupied the attention of Parliament.
The following judicious remarks of the Com-
missioners apply to England as well as Ireland ; and
had such a principle been acted on, the saving to the
public would have been incalculable :—" We recom-
mend that the Act of Parliament be granted free of any
charge, as for a public measure ; that a mode of de-
termining the amounts to be paid in compensation of
land and damages be adopted on principles more fixed,
and independent of private or local bias, than the
present practice ; and that some general enactment be
provided, authorising, to a certain extent, alterations of
obvious utility, to be introduced, in the original plan,
without the costly expedient of resorting in every case
to Parliament for a new or amended Act."

The papers have of late contained several complaints
of the arrogance and insolence of the servants of some
Railway Companies, who, conscious that the com-
plainants can find no other conveyance, indulge in a
very discreditable tone of insult. One gentleman, Mr.
KENDRICK, had all his luggage brought to London
from Blisworth in spite of his remonstrances, and had
to pay six shillings for its being sent back to him.
Another gentleman, with his family, who had come by
the train from Manchester to the Birmingham road, was
obliged to wait six hours because the train by which
he should have been forwarded to London had started
without waiting the arrival of that from Manchester,
and the Manchester train was wilfully delayed by
overloading it. When he complained, and talked of
hiring a post-chaise to come to London, he was set at
defiance, and sneeringly told that a chaise he might get,
but the horses had all been taken off the road. The se-
eret of the insolence of the servants of the Railway is
thus explained to us. The superiority of railway travel-
ling overcommon roads, gives it complete monopoly to the
railway. Other travelling is put an end to; all travellers
must go by the railway just as all voyagers must speedily
go by steam vessels to the United States, because their
superiority will put an end to the Liners. Now this is
an effect of railways which was foreseen before they
came much into use, and was predicted in the Spectator
eight or ten years ago. Against the consequences,
therefore, of such a contingency it became the duty
of the Legislature to provide, but we believe that in
all the Railway Bills hitherto passed it has been totally
neglected. The Legislature even refused to take up
Mr. MORRISON'S suggestion to subject the laws for
carrying these new contrivances into execution to pe-
riodical revision. The consequence is that the Railway
Companies have received monopolies very injurious to
the public comfort and the public interest, which new
Acts of Parliament will be required to abate, but which
cannot be abated, without causing a great outcry
against a violation of vested rights. Such a result
would have been avoided, probably, had the Board of
Trade—the department which is bound to look to this
matter—been filled by men of a statesmanlike capacity.
To look ahead is now far more essential to a politi-
cian than to look astern, and if Mr. POULETT
Tuomsox had done that, the public would not now
have had to complain of the great disappoint-
ment caused by the slovenly manner in which
the Legislature has sanctioned the carrying into execu•
tion a most noble mechanical improvement. Will such
blunders be avoided in future ? If the Report of
the Irish Railway Commissioners, which shuts
them out, is not to be carried into execution, will the
private Companies:and speculator, who are condemn-

ing that Report, and seeking for Railway Acts, receive
the monopolies they pray for under a due subserviency
to the public interests ? We hope so, though it is
very plain that they, and their partizans in the Press,
are endeavouring to mislead the public, and procure
injurious monopolies under the pretence of promoting
private enterprise and of freely employing private
capital.

Those politicians who are very fond of referring for
a justification of their measures to ancient Greece or
Rome, to England under ELIZABETH, or to France
under Louis XIV., will be very apt to discard, as
of no value, the experience of the last few years. We
however think it particularly and peculiarly valuable,
and beg therefore to remind the Tories and the priest-
hood of one or two of the extraordinary lessons it
teaches.

Although we deeply It gret the preference which
the masses have evinced for the Charter to the
abolition of the Corn-laws, we cannot join with our
Tory Contemporaries and Ministerial partizans in
ridiculing their exertions. We remember that in 1819
Parliamentary Reform was given up by nearly all our
leading politicians, and by nearly all the middle classes ;
and that the operatives, with HUNT at their head,
were sabred at Peterloo, amidst the shouts of the
triumphant Tories, without exciting much commisera-
tion in the middle classes, and with a total denial of
justice, for meeting to promote Parliamentary Reform.
But that which was so brutally denied by the Tories in
1819 was triumphantly and peacefully achieved in
1832. By that great change, all the autho-
rity of prescription in favour of the constitu-
tion of Parliament was destroyed, and all the
reasons by which further change can be resisted,
were amazingly weakened. The predictions of enor-
mous evils from the change have been falsified, and
the Tories can no longer terrify the timid, by their
prophesies, into submission to wrong. The expe-
rience, then, we have had of the progress of Parlia-
mentary Reform, induces us to warn the sneering
Tories and the arrogant Aristocracy, that the claims
of the Chartists are not to be despised.
The progress of Parliamentary Reform which has
led to a very general demand for a further 'improve-
ment of the system, may be taken as a specimen of the
tendency of society in constitutional matters ; and the
progress of the tithe question is an index to the same
tendency in ecclesiastical matters. In 1828 that pillar
of the Church, the Test Act, was abolished in spite of
WELLINGTON, PEEL, and the Bishops. In 1829
the same parties were reluctantly compelled, because
the country would no longer support their unjust in-
tolerance, to pull down another pillar, and con-
cede the Catholic, claims. The denunciations of
the Catholics for subsequently opposing the
tithe system, the reproaches of perjury and
deceit heaped on them by the Protestant parsons and
their scribes, the use of flying artillery, tithe sales, and
Exchequer processes, have all led to one concession
after another to the tithe payers—to one vote of re-
ward and remuneration after another, till all parties
agreed last Session to pass a Tithe Bill, which taxed
the empire to pay the arrears of the recusants, and
struck off 25 per cent. from the Protestant parsons' in•
come. One would think that this was progress enough,
in the short space of seven years, to satisfy the most scep-
tical of what is to come, and which the Irish Catholics
and Irish landlords are now engaged in realizing. The
leading article which we copy from the Times will put
our readers into possession of some of the facts on
which we found our anticipations, and will convince
them of the despair of the Tories by the Painful and
thrilling howl which the prospect extorts from their
well-trained tiger. Tithes in Ireland, in name and
in substance,will as surely be extinguished as the sun will
continue to rise day after day. The progress already
made, the projects already avowed, and plans now
formed in Ireland, together with the reluctance to de-
feud and support the impost in Ene-iand, make it pim-
possible to doubt that such must be the result.

But tithes, because they were an onerous burden,
have been commuted in England. Every character-
istic of sacredness has been taken from them,
and they rest a hateful and painful burden,
on our impoverished, unjust, and greedy land-
owners. They were commuted at prices regulated by
the Corn-laws ; and whenever the Corn-laws are abo-
lished—as abolished they must be, or this country will
be a prey to one of the most disastrous revolutions that
the world ever saw—the landowners of England
will surely not, by paying the tithes, give the
whole of their remaining property to the priests.
Already, we see by a Maidstone Paper, that the
Kentish chetry growers grumble amazingly at the
tithes. By the alteration made last Session in the
duties on fruits, the price of their produce it is
stated, is reduced in the proportion of 12s. to 55.,
while no corresponding reduction is made in the
rent-charge into which tithes have been commuted.
Now, notwithstanding the avarice and cupidity of the
landlords, it will be impossible for them to
re-enact the old duties on raisins, currants, apples,
and pears. The reduction once made the duty cannot
be again enhanced ; for the whole progress and ten-
dency of modern legislation is to reduce and lessen
duties and remove restrictions. The reduction of the
duties on fruits will be followed rather by a reduction
of the duty on corn, and ultimately, if not immediately,
by the abolition of the Corn-laws ; and then the same coin -
plaints will be everywhere made against the tithes as
are now made by the Kentish fruit-growers. The
abolition of them will be hastened here by the aboli-
tion of the satne hated impost in Ireland. If the ex-
perience of the last twenty years may be considered in
any degree as an index to the progress of the next
twenty years, we hazard nothing in predicting, be-
fore the conclusion of that period, the total end, in
" substance as well as name," to tithes in every part
of the empire.
Now, the experience of the last few years, taken as
an index to the future, ought to warn and alarm our
landowners. No person in France in the year 1770
anticipated that destruction of the nobility and
priesthood of France, which was completed 'be-
fore 1795. No doubt the proud ecclesiastics
of that country, and its arrogant nobles, con-
sidered themselves as perfectly
secure, and the de-
spised peasants completely humbled, as do our pre-
sent
scornful priests and greedy landlords. Nor
had they less reason to consider themselves safe.
Their power and authority had been unquestioned
for ages. It was engrafted into the habits of all
men's lives, and the evils they suffered seemed
rather a part of the natural order of society
than the results of priestly and baronial oppression.
The public could not point to them as the authors of
the Devil's laws—they were not stigmatized as
starving the people to enrich themselves—they were
not accused of stifling manufactures, interdicting trade,
and maintaining a cut-throat policy towards other
countries, for the base purpose of putting pelf into
their own pockets. The priesthood were not the avowed
enemies of large bodies of their countrymen ; not the
champions of political oppression, for the sake of pre-
serving Church supremacy.Nepitprsheearthetopruise,stsasnomrutchhe
landlords of France, had, as a
reason for alarm in 1770 as our priests and landlords
have at present. Yet both, in little more than twenty
years, saw all their property confiscated, and were
exiled from the land of their fathers. If modern expe-
rience be not wholly disregarded,that
urlandowners shoinlodwbneeresnot:gnhd
to alarm those who,
their colleagues, the clergy, now insist en de-

luding, defrauding, and starving the people. Tithes,
we believe, they cannot preserve ; and if they
would not see rent, which they have degraded to a
hateful tax by the Corn-laws, follow the same course
of extinction as tithes, they will at once sacrifice the
tithes and the Devil's laws.

We yesterday noticed an anniversary meeting of
tradesmen in the employ of the Tories, held at Liver-
pool on Thursday last. Sorry and shabby as the af-
fair was, it was, it now appears, destined to be out-
done by a still sorrier, shabbier, and, if possible, more
ridiculous exhibition on die following day. We do
not know whether any one out of Liverpool is aware
of the circumstance, but there is in that town an
Operative Conservative Association, in other words,
a pack of the most corrupt and worthless of
the freemen, who have been in the habit
of selling their votes to the Tories at elections, and on
whom the above designation has been conferred for the
purpose of leading the simple into a belief that the
operatives of Liverpool are staunch Tories I And
simple indeed must he be who can be so deceived, fur
none but an idiot can fail to see that the words " Ope-
rative" and " Conservative" stand, and erer will stand, in
direct and irreconcileable hostility to each other. This
Association, however, or rather its movers, finding, we
presume, that a cheap display might be made out of the
fragments of the tradesmen's grubbery of the previous
day, at 10d. a head, a pint of heavy-wet included,
contrived to get a certain number of the members to-
gether on Friday, and gave, what they no doubt wish
to be considered, a grand entertainment to the repre-
sentatives of the borough. These gentlemen of course
attended, as in duty bound, and along with them the
able and lively legislator who rejoices in the name of
BOOTLE WILBRAHAM, and that Reverend firebrand
Rector CAMPBELL. Each of these personages re-
peated to the so-called operatives fragmentary portions
of the orations which had been addressed to the trades-
men. In this respect we think the " operatives" had
the best of it.

The following extract from a letter from Candia,
dated the 20th ult., shows that there prevails some
difference of opinion among the inhabitants, as to
whether they are happier as the subjects of the
Viceroy of EGYPT, than they would be wider the
dominion of the SULTAN. Nothing can better indi-
cate the mildness of IVIErr EM ET AL Cs adminiw.ration,
than the simple expression of such a difference of
opinion on the part of any portion of the Candiotes.
Were they the subjects of the Porte, the bowstring
would be invoked to put an end to such treasonable
deliberations :

CANDIA. SEPT. 20.-1 dare say you will have heard
that the Mohamedan population of this place, excited
probably by the emissaries of the Porte, have shown a dis
position to avail themselves of the absence of our popular
Governor, Mustapha Pacha, to get up something like n
movement against Mehemet Ali, who, whatever may be
said of his rule elsee here, has been a great benefactor to
this island. He has introduced a spirit of toleration which
was wholly unknown in former times, and placed
Mohamedan and Christian on a footing of perfect
equslity. Ti.is has, no dncbt, given umbrage to
the fanatical Mussulmans, who have seen with great dis-
gust the distribution of equal rights and equal justice to
the whole populatiou, without distinction of religion.
Mustapha Pacha, however disliked by the persecuting
and ignorant portion of the Turks, is much beloved
by the Candiotes generally ; and when he left for Syria,
to assist Ihrahilt Paella against the Druses, he re-
ceived unequiv,,cal marks of the affection of the people,
and was accompanied on ship-board by the prayers arid
tears of a numerous body of the islanders. His return is
a subject of great gratulation. Our revenues are rapidly
improving under his Administration, and we hope to see a
portion of them applied to the repairs of the roads and
other public works, which would enable the rich capabili-
ties of art to be developi2d. All that is wanting is peace
to allow agriculture and commerce their full extension. Me-
hemet Ali confers on Mustapha Pacha powers which are
almost unlimited ; he IA largely paid and liberally supported by
his master, and it i, no small satisfaction to have, in any
part of the Levant, a Mohatnedan ruler, whose sway
is distinguished for moderation, in'egrity, and good sense.
While he is Governor, the tranquility of the island is not
iikuly to be troubled.
About two-thirds of tlte population of the whole island
are Christians of the Greek Courch ; so that the import-
ance of a co.iciliatory and tolerant spirit exceeds all esti-
mate. Nlustapiia Pach tis an Albanian by birth. acces ibl.is
to all judicious councils, urhilee and gentlemanly in his
deportment, attached to the English, and generally exhi-
biting his sense of the value of European opinion, and his
knowledge of the supriority of m coy of our instatutauns.

The Paris Journals of Sunday are more than
usually barren of all interesting political intelligence.
In the Sentilrelle de Pyrenees we find the following
announcement of the arrival of the Princess of BEIRA
in Spain :

On the 15th the Princess of Beira passed through
Bayonne, on her way to join Don Carlos, to whom she is
married. The Prince of the Asturias, who accompanied
the Princess, had been sent for by his father to place him
at the head of the army. The former Minister, Ramirez
de la Pestina, several chiefs acrd officers, the widow of
Gutierres, and the two sons of General Maroto, reached
the provinces about the same time. Carlist troops had
been stationed along the frontier to protect dr, it entranci',
and the Infante Don Sebastian had repaired to Elisondo
to receive his mother. Maroto is still at Estella. The
columns of General Alaix and Diego Leon continued on
the 18th to occupy Tarfalla and Olite.

The Journal de Commerce publishes a letter from
Berlin, dated the 14th inst., in which it is distinctly
stated that the motive which induced the
Emperor
NICHOLAS to visit Germany was the d: sire to be
admitted a Member of the Germanic Confederation.
To effect this the CZAR purposed to obtain from Rus-
sia her share of the first partition of Poland in ex-
change for an equal extent of territory to be agreed
upon by the two Powers. The King of PRUSSIA, how-
ever was, it appears, by no means disposed to
second the ambitious views of the CZAR. He re-
ceived the proposal not only with indifference, but
with marked ill-humour ; and if we may credit this
writer, the meeting of the Royal and Imperial families
was very far from being productive of the most friendly
feelings on either side. The CZAR, who calculated
on the cordial support of Prussia, Bavaria, and Ha-
nover, as a counterpoise against the opposition of
Austria, was deeply mortified at finding that in
Prussia he was likely to meet with as sturdy an op-
ponent as he anticipated in Austria.
The Messager contains the following curious para-
graph relative to the departure of Prince Louis
NAPOLEON, from Switzerland :

" Just as Prince Louis Napoleon was on the point of
quitting Arenenberg, he received a message from Prince
Aletternich, offering him, in the !lam:. of the Emperor, an
asylum in the Austrian dominions, where he would be
treated as a Prince allied to the Imperial family of Austria.
The Prince declined, saying that he preferred accepting
the hospitality offered him by the British Government,
because it was the only one tlia*. did not support the de,-
mond for his expulsion, presented by M. de Montebello."
This statement is very impiohable. No part could he
be assigned Prince METTERNICH less in keeping with
his established reputation as a statesman. Austria,
?
the asylum of political refugees Impossible.
The following extracts, from the journals of Sunday,
include all the news they contain of any moment :
" The Madrid Gazette contains a report of the Captain-
General of New Castile, stating that on the 27th ult. the
band of the Carlist chief Arnau had been routed near the
heights of Ramiro, with the lossof 28 killed, many wounded,
and 17 prisoners. The Queen's troops captured on that
occasion 1,600 head of cattle.
" General Van Halen, the Commander-in-Chief of the
Army of the Centre, arrived in Murviedro on the 7th."
A letter from Tampico, published in the Indicateur de
Bordeaux, gives a list of the number of vessels which hate
come into Mexican ports in despite of the French blockade.
Four entered Alvaredo, five at Tecoluta, two at Barra
Ciego, one at Matamoros, and lately the IVaterwitch from
Liverpool.

Brussels and German Journals have been received
this morning. Their contents are of some interest, as
will be seen from the following extracts :
Bzaux, OCT. 14.—The political murder at Cracow,

and other alarmiag events in that litsle republic:, Lase, it is
said, induced the three protecting Pal era to increase the
garrison. It is to be hoped that tranquillity will be restored
in the country, that a repetition of able- occurrences

of the ancient kingdom o`, Po; os I.

The greatest number of ships that have passed the Sound
in any one year, in the last twenty years, was 13,483, in
the year 1829.

EARL SPENCER.—The Court Circular announces
that this highly-esteemed Nobleman has Lad an inter-
view with Lord Melbourne, and has subsequently
visited her Majesty at Windsor. Is the Noble Eari
disposed once more to leave the calm and pleasant oc-
cupation of improving cattle for the harassing toil of
governing a distracted country ? Is he to return to
the Cabinet, or to succeed Lord Durham in Canada ?
It has been announced that another Nobleman was
to go thither.
LORD BROUGHAM.—The Times censures our
paraoraph of yesterday relative to this Noble Lord,
but first copies it. The blame that Journal throws
on us for referring to an unaccredited rumour, is
branded, therefore, v.'ith double intensity on itself, for
it sins against its own convictions. In fact, however,
the Times, no more than The Sun, could avoid notic-
ing a rumour which was in general circulation yesterday,
and which, except by the chance of a letter having
been received from the Noble Lord of the latest pos-
sible date, was scarcely susceptible of a positive con-
tradiction.
