THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, JULY 30, 1838.

have stated the grounds of withdrawing the pension. If
it were improperly obtained, justice in fact would not be
satisfied with merely stopping the supplies. Sir DAVID
has sent many persons in his time to the tread-mill
for petty thefts ; and if the charge against him be
true, the least that is required is to make him pay back
all he has received. That might, however, shake the " per-
manency and security of (pension) property ;" and, there-
fore, we must be content with the disgrace and the punish-
ment implied in stopping the pension. To have only one
pension branded is some advantage ; but to have ScoTT,
HOLMES, and CROKER, three active mischievous Tories,
stigmatised by the Committee should be a subject of public
rejoicing.

In another column will be found the concluding portion
of Mr. O'CONNELL'S Letter to the People of Inland,
the first part of which appeared exclusively in The Sun of
Sat urday.
The Honourable and Learned Gentleman, it will he
observed, seleets as the subject of this address to his coun-
trymen the three most important Irish measures of the
Session—the Poor-law Bill—the. Municipal Corporation
Bill—and the Tithe Bill. In the remarks which he
makes on the last two measures we are disposed
to concur, because there is hardly one of them
which we have not made ourselves in the progress of,the
Bills through:Parliament. :There is, however, one im-
portant point on which we are bound to state our dissent
from the opinion of Mr. O'CONNELL. The Honourable
and Learned Gentleman takes credit to himself for hav-
ing originated the arrangement by which a million of
the public money is to be given to the tithe proprie-
tors of Ireland, in lieu of arrears. Now, when this grant
is viewed in its proper light, it amounts to neither more
nor less than this, that a large sum of money is to be
transferred from the pockets of the English and Scotch
Dissenters—Catholic as well Ls Protestant—and of the
Scotch Presbyterians, to the pockets of the Protestant
Clergy or I re'ap's, for the purpose of supporting the Church
established by law. This is our view of the case, acd as
we cannot reconcile this arrangement with our notions of
civil and religious liberty, we feel called upon to enter our
solemn protest against it.
On the subject of the Poor-law Bill we differ toto calo
from Mr. O'CONNELL. We believe that a Poor-law was
imperatively called for by the state of Ireland, and there-
fore that it was the duty of the Legislature to make the
experiment. It is very easy to say that instances are very
rare of death occasioned by absolute want of food ;
but every one must be aware that an incalculable
amount of suffering may exist, although no person shOuld
perish from starvation. The case of the Shetland Islands
at this moment is one in point. As to the pleasure which
the Irish poor enjoy in " the sound of rushing waters, and
the gleams of sunshine in spots sheltered from the wind,"
it is no doubt great, but this taste may be indulged too
much —it may be indulged to such a degree
as to be at mortal variance with those habits of re-
ular industry on which every man ought to depend
tn- his support. The world was not intended to
11- a " castle of indolence" but a hive of industry, and one
of the beneficial effe.:ts of the Irish Poor Law Bill, will be,
AS we think, to provide employment for the idle.

There appears to us to be a fallacy running through the
whole of Mr. O'CONNELL'S reasoning on this subject. He
seems not to have reflected that the burdens laid upon the
occupiers of land must ultimately fall upon the proprietor of
the soil .

We refer our readers with sincere satisfaction to the an-
nouncement, in another column, of the formation of a Re-
form and Registration Association in the borough of Mary-
lebone. It is to the want of such an Association that the
unfortunate result of the last election is to be in a great
measure attributed.

The following excellent rules, which are all that our
limits will permit us to quote, will suffice to set forth the
constitution of the new Society, as well as its object. We
need not say that they meet our entire approbation :

" 1. To promote the cause of general and local Reform by all legal
meatus—to superintend and enlarge the Registration of Reformers in
the Borough, and to detect and expose all fraudulent or illegal attempts
to exercise the elective franchise to the prejudice of the. I,Aberal inte-
rest, and to prevent the division of the Liberal interest at an election.

It is desired that the Association should be co..extensive with the
Liberal int,rest in the Borough, and therefore it shall consist of all such
persons favourable to the Liberal interest as subscribe not less than four
shillings annually, or pay in one sum as life subscribers ten guineas or
upwards. The subscriptions for the current year shall be paid forth-
with, and those for future years shall be due on the first day of
January. The Sec: etary shall enrol the name and address of every sub.
scriber.

" 3. The Associat on shall be unCer the government of a President,
Vice-Presidents, Treasurer, Trustee', a General Committee, Managing
Committee, and District Committees. •

" 4. The Borough shall be considered as divided into districts, corres_
pending to the existing electoral divisions, except that the north divi-
sion of St. Pancras shall he divided into two, viz., the Kentish town dis-
tri:t and the Camden-town district."
" 19. Every district shall be divided into convenient circuits, each
containing as near 100 houses or rated premises, as may be practicable."
" 20. To each circuit there shall be appointed, by the district Corn.
mittee, to which it belongs, two or three registrars, whose duty it shall
be, by personal canvas and otherwise, to work out the object of the asso-
ciation. For this purpose each district Committee shall be provided
with detailed instructions from the managing Committee, so that the
mode of praceeding may be uniform. In each district there shall be, if
possible, a fixed Committee-room, and fixed days and hours of meeting,
to be determined by the district Committee. The district Committees
shall not incur any expense exceeding 4/. in any one year, except under
the authority of the managing Committee, duly. expressed in writing."
We should consider ourselves deficient in the duty which
we owe to the public, did we not recommend the example
of the Reformers of Nlaryle!tone to the imitation of the
iiberal party throughout the country. It is a reproach to
hat party that their pol:tical opponents should, by supe-
rior activity and perseverance, get the start of them, as they
are doing in the registration courts. We see it stated in
one of their daily organs that at Bradford and Halifax, and
indeed, generally through the West Riding
of Yorkshire,
the balance of the new claims sent to the overs.tcrs is greatly
in favour of the Tories. This ought not to b‘, and the
only way to prevent it is by establishing such institutions
as that to which we have directed the public attention.

A file of New York JournAls to the 10th inst. inclusive,
have been forwarded to us by our correspondent at Ports-
mouth. On the 9th, Congress adjourned,
after a very
busy Session; in the course of which more than the usual
•Ilowance of the bitterness of party spirit was exhibited.
TLe following summary of the Legislative labours of the
iast Session of Coogre..s is taken from the New .York con
respondence of a Morning Contemporary

The Bilk of most interest to a British r..atie, pa ,;etl by this Congress
are to allow foreign steamers to introduce their coals into our ports tree
of duty ; to leave the question of the north-eastern boundary where it
is ; to enab'e importing iherchants to pay their dues into the Treasury
in the notes of any specie paying bank of 20 dollars and upwards ; to
punish the proprietors and officers of steamboats for careles,ness or
iu,•glect in navigating their vessels, the escape of steam to injorst any
pt.rson to be taken as prima facie evidence of neglect, and to be the
founclation of suits in t.,e United States' Courts ; to increase the
rank and tile of the army 4,500 men ; to pay the Cheyokee,lndians an
extra sum of money fur their lands, besides the five millions provided i❑
the treaty of New Echota ; to punish the future issue by the officers or
agents of the Pennsylvania Banks of the United States of the old notes
of the United States Bank ; to provide for the sale 'of the United States
Bank bonds held by the Government for six millions of dollars ; to
create a commission for testing steam-boilers. The Government has
been authorized to invest the Smithsonian fund of 500,000 dollars in
State stock.

Congress has left the money concerns of the States in
the same condition in which it found them—
to the great
mortification of the PRESIDENT and his party.

Colonel the Hon. H. Dundas, Commandant at this station, informing
him that the pirates have effected a landing in two points—vi'., at
Bear Creek, near the entrance of the Thames, and at Sarnia, on the
River St. Clair. The joint forceis said to be one thousand men. The
merchants of Sandwich, &c., have ordered their goods now at this place
not to be forwarded until further orders.
" A number of prisoners in the London district have been rescued
from prison by the rebels ; and yesterday morning the steamer Coburg
left Toronto for Hamilton, with the 34th regiment, on the way for that
quarter."
Has ing published the substance of Lord Dunnam's
Proclamations in Tile San of Saturday, we consider it un-
necess.iry now to advert to them. All the journals, with-
out exception, praise his Lordship for the prompt and de-
cisive manner in which he administers the Government of
the Provinces.

We lrive rere;ved the Paris Journals of Friday and
Saturday, together with Aladr,d Papers of the 21st in-
stant
_inclusive. They contain no political news of the

lightest interest, except what is contained in the an-
nexed extracts :

We have the following letter from'TpUlon, dated July 24 :—" It is to
be regretted that at a moment like the present vessels are detached from
our Levant squadron, whieh'is-already so weak. To.day the Triton, of
the line, anchored in the road of the Lazaretto, having left Smyrna on
the let of July, at the same time with the other ships of the division of
Admiral Gallois, which it left at Ouritac on the 3d. The Triton I.a,
come to take in provisions and stores, and will shortly sail for the Bra.
zits."—Constitutionnel.

The Postillion of Gerona of the 18th contains the following lines :
" We are assured that among the troops of Baron de Meer which are
marching against Bcrga, there is a company of artillery of the English
navy, which has volunteered to serve under the Captain-General, taking
on itself in particular the management of the Congreve rackets."
A letter from Berlin of the 19th July, says, that the Duke of Holstein
Glucksburg is spoken of as the future husband of Queen Victoria.
A letter from Toulon of 24tli July, says, that the great crisis which
is approaching in the Mediterranean is the subject of general attention ;
the squadrons of the several powers will soon be in pursuit ()teach other.
At the date of the last news, the following are the positions of the
naval divisions yf the powers interested in the affairs of the East:—
The Turkish squadron of 5 ships of the line, 7 frigates, 6 smaller ships,
and a steam-boat, was, on the sth July, at Gallipoli, preparing to pass
the Dardanelles. The French squadron of Admiral Galloisi of 3 ships
of the line; and 3 brigs, was at Ourlac, whence it was to go to Tenedos.
The English squadron, under Admiral- Stopford, was going from
Mahon to Malta i it corisisted.of four ships of the line and a frigate; it
left a corvette at Barceloni At Malta it will find the Asia, of the line,
and some brigs, and in case of need may be reinforced by the Pembroke,
which is on the coast of Italy, and the Bellerophon, which is at Athens.
Thus, it appears that the French squadron is the weakest of all. That
of the Pacha ofEapt is of eight ships of the line, four frigates, four
brigs, and a steam-boat. The Government must be quite at its ease
respecting the intentions of the Porte, since it has recalled the Toulon
from the Levarit to send it to Buenos Ayres.
The equipment of the Montebello is proceeding rapidly, and it is
supposed that that ship will join the Levant squadron with the Diadem,
of the line. The Jena, which is off Tunis, might also join Admiral Gal-
lois.—Le Commerce.

Brussels and German Papers have reached us this
morning, in which the question of the twenty-four articles
is discussed at very unnecessary length. Subjoined are
extracts from them :
Dm HAcue, JULY 26.—Her Royal Highness Princess Frederick of
the Netherlands arrived here this evening.
• We learn that Prince Albert will make but a short stay here, and
soon return to Berlin with his Consort and daughter.
The reigning Duke of Nassau, who lately arrived here on his return
from London, left this town the day before yesterday.
His Excellency Baron Von De Cappellan, his Majesty's Ambas-
sador Extraordinary to the Court of Great Britain, is expected from
London, at the beginning of next week.
Sir Brook Taylor, Privy Counsellor to her Majesty the Queen of
Great Britain, Knight Grand Cross of the Guelphic Order, has arrived
here.

BRUSSELS, JULY 28.—The King set out for the camp at Eeverloo
yesterday morning. The Minister of War set out for the Camp on
the morning preceding.
The Prince de Ligne arrived at two o'clock this morning on his re-
turn from London. Among the passengers who arrived at Antwerp
yesterday morning on board the Princess Victoria, were Lord George
Seymour, Viscount and Viscountess Boyle and suite, Lord James and
Lady Hay.
ST. PETERSBURGH, JULY 11.—Since the opening of the navigation
to the 19th of July, 470 ships arrived in the port of Cronstadt—
sailed, 217.

The Russian Journals lately announced that a great fire had happened
on the 15th of June at Riajst, the capital of a district in the Govern-
ment of the Riazan. The official details published in the Northern Bee
say that 385 houses in five villages near the town were destroyed, and
three wooden houses and 23 other buildings in the town itself. The
Journal of Odessa states that from the Ist of January to the Ist June,
Russian produce to the value of 10,577,677 rubles, had been exported
from that place; the value of foreign goods imported was 8,375,115
rubles. 347 ships from foreign countries had arrived, and 239 sailed.
Exchange on London, July 13—Three months 10 21.30.—Journal
de St. Petersburgh, July 14.
A letter from Alexandria of the 6th instant informs us that the Egyp-
tian fleet, consisting of eight sail of the line, four frigates, four brigs,
and a steam.vessel, are preparing to put to sea. The report was that
the Pacha was resolved to assert his independence. Two Arabs, accused
of having caused the fire at Cairo, had been executed. An officer and
thirteen soldiers too had been shot. They were in charge of a man.of.
war recently burnt in Alexandria, A letter from Toulon states that
the Turkish fleet consists of five line-of-battle ships, seven frigates,
and six small vessels. It was preparing for sea. The French fleet
in the Levant consists of only three sail of the line and two brigs. The
English Fleet, under Admiral Stopford, consists, we believe, of seven
sail of the line and two fi igates. The French are preparing in Toulon
taro sail of the line to join, it is supposed, their Levant fleet, and they
have a third at Tunis, which may be dispatched to the Eastward. If
the Pacha should, therefore, again enter into a contest with the Sultan
the fleets of France and England will be on the spot, and strong enough
to protect the interests of the two countries.

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY (THIS DAYS, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Our chief arrivals this morning are from the United States. Not
less than three packets have arrived from New York—the Philadel-
pleia, Pennsylvania, and Samson—the latter bringing the dive of the
10th July. The news they bring is not of much importance. Congress
closed on the 9th July. From Canada the arrivals state that some
cormnotions still exist there, owing to some few rebels going about and
Plundering parties ; but we have no doubt that the military sent against
them will soon put them down. Lord Durham has arrived at Montreal,
where he was well received.

(From the 21,;;1;; k Morning Herald of the 10th July.)
MONEY 31/mu:T.—The adjournment of Congress will put an end for
the present to the fluctuations of the Money Market, caused by the at.
tucks and repulses of the opposing parties is the National Legislature
We may therefore look forward to a season of comparative quiet until
the opening of the full trade calls into activity the masses of capital both
here and in England, which at present wants employment. The close
co inect;on in which we are now placed with England will be a security to
th 2 commercial world against being again overtaken by so fearful and
dev. sting a storm as that which has so recently prostrated the trade of
Our c,unt ry, and which, although it has laid hundreds uf persons beneath
the ruins of a half matured and gigantic business, it has the beneficial
effect to draw the eyes of the European capitalists on, and lead
them to examine snore minutely than they have heretofore done, into
tae nature of American Securities. The Government Bonds against
the United States' Bank, authorised to be sold by the law just passed by
Congress, will probably find their way to the London market, and thus
those persons who recently objected to the United Sates' Bank, among
other things, that foreign capital was invested in it," will be furnished
with foreign gold, as a means of earning on a spendthrift Government ;
and further, this very Government with the coming session must applf
for and create a loan to meet the current expenses in the absence of
revenue, caused by the stagnation of trade.
