LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 6, 1836.

The organs of the Tory Press can't get over the
Cumberland election. They are labouring hard, but
it won't do ; and instead of making the matter better
for their cause, they make it ten times worse by their
blundering attempts to palliate the calamity—for such,
it is evident, they consider it—which has befallen
their party in the north.
A Morning Scribe who, if he would leave off the
silly practice of calling names, is about the best of the
band, endeavours to parry the blow by ascribing
Mr. JA NEES'S return to there being no opposition. It
is true no opponent appeared in the field, and
therefore the Tories escaped in some degree the dis-
grace that would have followed a public exposure of their
weakness, had they had pluck enough to come to the
scratch; but will this self-satisfied gentleman db us the
favour to explain why there was no opponent to Mr.
JA ? We want to know the reason.
Are the Tories indifferent to the success of their
principles ? Have they given up the contest with the
new order of things as hopeless ? This we admit
would be their wisdom ; but we cannot indulge the
hope that they have adopted this course. Every thing
in their late conduct, unhappily, tends to a contrary
conclusion. We have, therefore, only the alter-
native of believing that conscious weakness prevented
all opposition to the liberal candidate. How this
state of things is to be reconciled with the general re-
action, which has afforded so copious a theme for Tory
declamation for months, indeed for gears past—for the
Reform Bill was hardly out of the Printer's hands
before the cry was set up—we pretend not to divine.
No doubt our Contemporary can explain it, and we
trust he will, without—for once—having recourse to
casuistry, give a plain answer to a plain question. Let
him come to the point. We ask him again, taw was
there no opposition to Mr. JAMES in East Cumberland ?

The Correspondent of a Morning Contemporary,
alluding to the vigorous, impartial, and strait-forward
policy pursued by Lord MULGRAVE i❑ Ireland, says,
" I am perfectly satisfied that a false notion of political
consistency stands alone in the way of a grateful recog-
nition of his Excellency's system of Government, by a
large portion of those who are set down in the ranks of
the enemy. lam quite sure that the continuance of
the present Government in office, and the consequent
continuance of the existing Irish policy under the
direction of its present head, will work, in the course
of a single year, a moral revolution in the feelings and
dispositions of the gentry, as it has already done in
those of the people at large." This is high praise,
and proceeding, as it manifestly does, from one com-
petent to form a correct judgment, is entitled to every
attention. Our own accounts from Ireland give the
same flattering reports of the success that has hitherto
attended Lord MULGRAVE'S policy—a success of
which his Lordship may well be proud, for it has
been the result of his own good sense and unswerving
integrity of purpose. He has not listened to the inte-
rested advice of faction, nor permitted himself to be
terrified by its bluster ; but thought for himself and
acted for himself. Up to his time, our Irish viceroys
were, in nine cases out of ten, mere instruments in the
hands of party ; they had no freedom of will, scarcely
even of thought, allowed them ; but were nothing
more than blind, passive registers of the decrees of their
Orange subordinates. Such was Lord TALBOT—such
was the Marquis of WELLESLEY—such to a certain ex-
tent was the Marquis of A NGLESEA—aud such, to a far
greater extent, was the Earl of HADDINGTON. But

now, all this is changed, and from the Government of
Lord MULGRAVE, conducted in a just spirit, and
on strictly constitutional principles, Ireland has every
possible reason to look forward to the most triumphant
results. Nor is Mr. O'CONNELL to be denied his
meed of praise as respects his Lordship's Viceroyalty.
He had it in his power—had he so willed it—to thwart
him at every step of his progress, and render him as
unpopular as he is now popular ; but he has wisely
chosen instead—seeing that his Excellency is really
sincere in his desire to promote the interests of the
sister country—to afford him every assistance, and

sink the triumphant demagogue in the less flashy, but
more creditable character, of the sober patriot.

The Paris papers of Sunday contain nothing new
respecting the formation of a Cabinet. Everything
seemed to depend upip Marshal Sour, T, whose ar-
rival in Paris was holly expected.
The King of NAPLES sailed from Toulon for the
capital of his dominions on the 30th ult.
King OTno of Greece has sought and obtained the
hand of a Princess of the House of Oldenburgh. The
notification of the marriage to the European Govern-
ments will shortly take place. The future Queen of
GREECE is related by ties of affinity and consangui-
nity to the Emperor of RUSSIA. We have not heard
what marriage portion—a very needful affair—this
Princess is to bestow upon her Royal husband.
_ . .

Duke WILLIAM of Brunswick is likewise about to
contract a marriage with the Princess MARIA, daugh-
ter to the reigning King of WIRTEMBURG by his
first wife. As this Princess is niece to the Emperor
of RUSSIA, her marriage with the Duke of BRUNS-
WICK will tend to strengthen the CZAR'S influence in
Germany. It was reported that Louis PHILIPPE
had intended to propose for the hand of the Princess
of WURTEMBURG his son the Duke of NEMOURS;
but that he declined, lest the proposal might alarm
the people of France, who are naturally averse to such
alliances with any branch of the Imperial family of
ROMANZOFF. The mother of the Princess MARIA
of Wurtemburg was the Czar NICHOLAS'S sister.
The Princess is highly accomplished, very amiable,
and, as report runs, very beautiful.
The Emperor of RUSSIA and the King of PRUSSIA
will assist at the Coronation of the Emperor and
Empress of AUSTRIA. The Sovereigns of Russia
and Prussia will assume the titles of Counts on this

occasion.

The Journal des Debals accuses the Spanish
Constitutionalists of ingratitude towards the Duke of
WELLINGTON ; and the La Mode with causing the
death of M. RAYNEVAL. Both charges are of a
very serious nature. The La Mode, however, leaves
it to be inferred that the guilt of the Constitutionalists,
in the case of the French Ambassador, was purely
accidental. In the discharge of what they conceived
to be a duty to their country, they become unintenti-
onally accessory to the death of a dying man. May
not his Grace of WELLINGTON have been as uncon-
sciously injured, on the part of the Spanish Constitu-
tionalists, as his Excellency the Count de RAYNE-
VAL

The Nouvelle Minerve announces the publication
of a proclamation of DON CARLOS to his army,
in which the Pretender assures his deluded fol-
lowers that he is going to Paris on business of
importance, previous to his putting an end to the
civil war in Spain. What business can Don CAR-
LOS have to Paris ? Perhaps he proposes to re-enact
the Bayonne performance of 1805 ? Spain must re-
member but too well the figure he cut when resigning
for ever all claim, for himself and heirs, to the throne
of Spain. But we may be mistaken. Very likely
Louis PHILIPPE will play the principle, part in
the new farce. Like the Patriarelis of old his Most
Christian MAJESTY is blessed with more sons
and daughters than he knows well how to dis-
pose of. The grand-children of PIIILIPPE EGA-
LITE are a drug in the matrimonial market. This
is not to be wondered at under any conceivable circum-
stances. The Itoyal father so resembles the citizen
grandfather, that there is nothing at all surprising in
'the caution with which reputable parents shun al-
liances with the hopeful progeny. Don CARLOS has
children. But what of that ?—Of course nothing.
PARIS, SEPT. 4.—A letter from Port Venders of the 26th
of August, announces that the Styx steamer, on board which
Marshal Clausel has just embarked, was to go first to Barce-
lona, where the Marshal will stop some days before he pro-
ceeds to Algiers.
There is at this moment a sort of armistice on the frontiers
of Spain, and the Bayonne journals say no more of the two
armies than if they had no existence.
The Phare of the Ist of September, says, the decision of
the English Government respecting the deserters from the
British Legion, whom the Carlists, in order to get rid of
them, sent into the French territory, has at length reached
Bayonne. Lord Palmerston refuses to trouble himself about
the fate of these individuals, so that he leaves to the French
Government the expense requisite for conveying them to Eng-
land, as well as what has already been incurred for their sub-
sistence. This decision, which we were far from expecting,
may offend the national pride, which will doubtless learn with
pain that English subjects have been relieved by the French
Government and public charity.
In this state of things, and considering the inconceivable
indifference of the British Ministry, orders have been given to
tend these deserters, immediately and successively, in detach-
ments of twenty to Calais, and to give each of them a pair of
shoes for their journey. The first detachment set out yes-
terday.
The last number of the Gazette of Onate and the Bulletin
of Don Carlos contains a proclamation of that Prince, an-
nouncing that he is going to put a speedy end to the war, but
that he is obliged to leave his faithful soldiers for some days, in
order to go to Paris, where he will have to treat of affairs of
the highest importance.—Nouvelle Minerve.
We have received this morning, by the post, the Garde
National of Barcelona of the 20th, though those of the 24th
and 26th have not arrived. It contains no important news ; it
announces a solemn mass on the following day, in honour of
the re-establishment of the Constitution. There is not a word
about the health of the Prince. We must suppose that from
the 23d to the 26th in the evening nothing uncommon had
passed at Barcelona—Journal du Commerce, Sept. 4, second.

German and Brussels papers have been received.
Their contents are of no political importance. Ex-
tracts from them, in the form of paragraphs, will be
found in other parts of The Sun.

FALMOUTH, SEPT. 3.—His Majesty's packet,
Delight, Lieutenant Moore, arrived here to-day from the Bra-
zils. She left Rio de Janeiro on the 13th July, Bahia 27th,
and Pernambuco on the 4th August, with mails, eight pas-
sengers, and a small amount of specie. The only news to be
commented on by this arrival is that the affairs in Rio Grande
were soon likely to become more settled by the people of that
province more unanimously recognising the authorities of the
Brazilian Government. Many of the rebels had laid down
their arms, although previously some severe skirmishing had
taken place, in which many were killed. The Chambers con-
tinued their sittings, and their discussions were chiefly confined
to the new loan sought for by the Minister of 2,000 contos,
the rest of the business engaging their attention was bat of an
ordinary character. Rio was very tranquil ; the exchange was
394 391-., and stock at 84. His Majesty's ships Dublin and
Cleopatra were cruising. Nine p.m., his Majesty's packet
Lyra, Lieut. St. John, has now arrived from St. Thomas's,
whence she sailed on the 17th ult., with four passengers. She
is without a mail from Jamaica, the steamer not having arrived
at St. Thomas's when the Lyra left. The islands at which
she touched were generally quiet.
TIIE TEA TRADE.—The East India Company's
quarterly sale of teas commenced yesterday at the India-
house, and was very fully attended. The common descrip-
tions of Boheas were all refused. Congous fetched from
Is. 9d. to Is. I I Id. per lb. ; but a considerable quantity of
low congous was also refused. Good middling qualities, how.
eecr, realized Is. 51d. and Is. 50. per lb. The finer black
leaf sort went off at 2s. to 2s. 4d. per lb., which is 2d. per lb.
lower than the prices realized at the previous sale. It is ex-
pected that the sale will conclude on Thursday. The amount
of teas cleared during the week is about 405,0001b5.

The late rains will have the effect of lengthening the
continuance of the autumnal foliage. Nothing forces on a
premature fall of the leaf so much as ran uninterrupted career
of scorching weather.

" The writer in the Australian, while he says that he agrees
generally in the complaint of the petitions respecting the ap-
propriation of the Emigration Fund, also states that as much
has been voted in the estimates of last year, as can for the pre-
sent be conveniently applied to emigration, and that there is
an immense and accumulating surplus available (and declared
by the Governor's minute to be so) whenever the exigency
shall command. Now we deny that as much has been voted
as can be conveniently applied.' "—Sydney Herald.

lIALF-PAST ONE.

The Sydney Herald of the 25th of April says,—" We re-
gret to learn that the loss of the Edinburgh by fire, in addi-
tion to other disasters to vessels between the mother country
and these colonies, is likely materially to affect the trading in-
terest in the way of insurance at home. With respect to the
Edinburgh, we cannot help thinking that there must have
been some deplorable neglect to have occasioned the destruc-
tion of so much property, and the loss of so many lives."

THE JOINT-STOCK NEWSPAPERS.—The Joint-
stock Company spirit of speculation has operated on the minds
of some individuals in the endeavour to form a joint-stock
newspaper Company, and this has been attempted in various
instances both in town and country. The well-known legal
liability of every individual so concerned to the entire amount
of the debts which may be incurred in such adventures, how-
ever small their shares, has had its due effect in neutralising
this species of superlative quackery ; few individuals being
found so indiscreet as to risk the amount of every shilling
they possess in the world on the frail security of schemes, go-
verned by the probable incompetency or dishonesty of those
who concoct them. The exhibition of the frightful conse-
quences of these fraudulent undertakings at the spring assizes
at Taunton, in respect to a Bristol joint-stock newspaper
Company, ought to be a lesson and a beacon to the unwary.—
Taunton Courier.

A public dinner was Given in Elgin on Friday last
to Sir A. L. Hay, Member for that district of burghs. In
his speech on the occasion the Hon. Gentleman made the fol-
lowing remarks :—" It was necessary that he should state
what had been the result of the last Session of Parliament.
Many of those measures brought forward by Government for
the improvement of our Institutions were thrown out after
they had been ratified by the voice of the country and the
House of Commons. What motive had prompted this rejec-
tion, it was not for him to say ; but in extenuation of the
Government and himself, with respect to the charge that
more had not been done, he would say that this was rendered
impossible by others. A good deal was said of the present
state of things and of the position of the Government. He
considered that if the Reform Bill placed in the House of
Commons a power it never had before the benefit of the
country, it was absolutely necessary that their measures should
be supported and passed into law.—(Loud cheers.) Far be
it from him to say in what manner this should be done—far be
it from him to advocate measures which would shake the In-
stitutions of the country ; but he knew that in the sentiments
he had uttered he was supported by the people—not the rab-
ble, as they had been tauntingly denominated—but the great
body of the people, who sooner or later must make their voice
be heard, and whose authority must be decisive..—(Great
cheering.) He hoped that by a judicious and timely change
of opinion in those who now obstruct the public business of
the country any further steps would be unnecessary ; at the
same time, he had no hesitation in saying, that the occur-
rences of the last Session could not continue. It would come
to be determined whether the people will retain those rights
now in their own hands, or relinquish them to the Aristo-
cracy who formerly held them and employed them for their own
purposes."
On Monday last, an explosion of foul air took place
in the river level of the Aberdare Company's Iron Works, by
which Watkin David, collier, was killed, and his nephew
dreadfully burnt. The son of the deceased wes also severely
injured. A fourth, Amos Thomas, escaped unhurt.— Me-
rionethshif e Merlin.

TIIE EUPIIRATES EXPEDITION.—A letter from
M. Fontanier, dated June 2, at Bussora, announces that the
English expedition upon the Euphrates, under Col. Chesney,
was expected there towards the end of that month.
During the review yesterday at Windsor an accident
harpened to a private of the 7th Huzzars, whose horse
stumbled and fell on him. The poor fellow was much
bruised, and it is stated that his arm is broken near the shoul-
der. Lord Frederick Fitzclarence, on the accident occurring,
rode out to inquire its nature, and afterwards, when a fly came
to convey the man to the barracks, (which was just as the re-
view ended) his Lordship went again to see him.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(THIS DAY.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
William M'Evoy, an athletic Irish pavior, was charged by
Mr. Newman, proprietor of the George and Dragon public-
house, with grossly insulting his wife, and threatening to make
smithereens of complainant's brains with an empty quart pot.
Police Constable C 90 was called upon by the last witnes
to take the defendant into custody, when he struck him several
violent blows.
Defendant—Oh tare an ounty, your Worship, don't let them
sware away my life entirely.
Magistrate—Why did you assault the police constable
Defendant—ls it meself? I'd like to see the man that 'a
strike him and me by.
Magistrate—You must pay a fine of 31., or be sent to gaol
for two months.
Defendant—Well, your Honour, all I can say is the
neither law nor justice, for the two or three blows I gev him
was all out of pure love.

BOW-STREET.
Joseph Peyton, a respectable looking young man,
was
charged before Mr. MALLARD a county Magistrate, with steal-
ing two valuable pictures the property of Joseph Peel of 194,
Strand.
The prosecutor said he rented part of a house from the pri-
soner's father; the house was in one, but was divided into two
shops below. The pictures which formed the subject of the
present inquiry were safe in his possession—in a room up
stairs in July—he missed them on the 3d September. For
one of them, a sea-piece, he was offered 601, the other Was
not so valuable. From information he had received he sus-
pected the prisoner, and gave information to the officer.
Shackell, the officer, said, from information he received from
the prosecutor, he went to thelodgings of Edward Sherrill,
and asked for the pictures. He said, "Do you come from
Joseph Peyton?" He returned no answer; but on being told
that he was an officer, he went to a bedstead, and took them
out. He (Shackell) then took him into custody.
E. Sherrin was then admitted as a witness, and deposed
that he had known the prisoner for seven months. Last month
he called at his lodgings, in White Hart-yard-court, Union-
street, Leicester-square, and brought the marine picture,
which he requested witness would take care of for him. 01'21
subsequent occasion he brought the frame ; and last wee''
when witness was out, on one occasion, he found the other
picture had been left during his absence.
The prisoner said he was sorry for what he had done, which
was in a fit of passion.
The MAGISTRATE said he had better say no more, as he
must commit him for trial.—Committed.

UNION-HALL.
A rather respectable young man was brought before Mr,
TRAILL, charged by one of the police force with obstructing
his Majesty's highway in the neighbourhood of Bermondsey'
by having brought himself to an anchor there dead drunk.
The policeman stated that on discovering him laying in
Jamaica-row dead drunk, he took him to the station-house'
where, on searching, he found four sovereigns and some silver
in his pocket.
Mr. TRAILL—WeII, Sir, how came you to get into tbicg
state ? The young man—l really don't know, Sir ; had
seven guineas and a watch about me when I went out in the
morning, and it is all gone with the exception of the money
found upon me.
The wife of the defendant—lt cannot have been a fetuall
that has robbed him, because if it had been, all his moneYt
have no doubt, would have gone.—(A laugh.)
Mr. TRAILL—I am sorry you have so bad an opinion
your own sex, but let me advise you in future to rob him You
self, in order that others may not do it when he gets into that
state again.
Defendant—l never was in such a state before, and i'll
never get so again.
Wife—No, I'll take care of that, you may depend upon' it"
I'll adopt the Magistrate's advice, and rob you in future Vl'
self.—( A laugh.)
They then both left the office, apparently perfectly saeis6ea
with each other.

TOWN-HALL.
James Harsant, a radical carpenter, was brought up 1 )°fere
Sir J. KEY, charged with being drunk on Saturday 13ig"
and assaulting two Policemen.
Thomas Banting, a policeman, stated that on Sat tut/
night, about 11 o'clock, he saw the prisoner drunk in .10r;
street, Suffolk-street, in company with a female. On t Pl`ft
up to him to desire him to go on, he struck him; and lies
another policeman coming up, he attacked him in the o°s
violent manner, and tore his clothes nearly off his back. ,0
Sir JOHN KEY—Well, prisoner, what have you to !AV
this violent attack upon these policemen?
The prisoner—Please your Worship, I'll tell you tha tNt
and the whole truth. On Saturday night I and my wife (.111111

a few domestic necessaries.—( Laughter. ) After web/430j

laughter.)
Sir JOHN KEY—Well, I think so too ; that was, sumptuous
fare.
The prisoner—Yes, your Worship ; but I thought I should
also like a little bit of butcher meat.—(Laughter.)
Sir J. KEY—Oh, you were determined to have a dinner fit
for a King.—( Laughter. )
The prisoner—Yes, I don't know how it was, but I
,wished
for some butcher's meat as well, and while I and my wife we-

pondering whether we should have it or no, up comes the P°'

I was exasperated, very much, and I certainly struck
the policeman, but as to being drunk, I was no such thinly',
In consequence of being in custody, I was deprived of a
right good dinner on Sunday, which I think rather too bau.s,
Sir JOHN KEY—We think otherwise here. You AO
take care and not get drunk, and when you are so avoid st;
a

officer, otherwise I shall be obliged to commit you.
The prisoner, together with the two policemen, then Te,tiredr
and, as we understand, compensated the officer for the We
he had committed.
