prised condition, and that the farmers are neither
rtynellerous nor secure. They do not grow rich, and
dye in dread of nightly and daily depredations. The

Creed, we call upon the readers of the Tory Journals
not to be led away by false alarms, but to look to the
real danger—the growing spirit of Popery which rankles
M the bosom of our own Church.

The full and correct Report which we gave the other
day of the proceedings attendant on laying the first
stone of the Southampton Commercial Docks has ex-
cited such extraordinary interest that we have been in-
duced to republish it, in order to satisfy the demand
for our Journal of that day. We do this the more
readily, as we have long advocated, in a national point
of view, the formation of those Docks, as affording
an asylum not only to our coasting, but to our trans-
atlantic and other trade coming up or down the Channel
from all parts of the world. Indeed, the more we consider
the subject, the more are we impressed with its vast
and growing importance. It has often been matter of
remark, and even reproach, with naval men, what
slender protection was afforded to our commerce, along
the Channel coasts, especially in heavy gales of wind—
and during the winter months the wind blows gene-
rally on our coast, which renders the navigation ex-
tremely dangerous in dark long nights, during the pre-
valence of stormy weather. So much has this been felt,
that the premiums of insurance have often been
greater from the Chops of the Channel than from
the East Indies I And the reason is obvious : in the
one ease vessels have plenty of sea-room ; in the other
they have to encounter the dangers of a lee-shore on
either side the Channel, without having a friendly
port of sufficient depth of water to afford protection,
added to the chances of capture during a war. Why a
merchantman worth from 50,0001. to 200,000/.,
would run all the risks of capture for a week, or it
might be a fortnight, between the Lie of Wioh;
and the Downs, detained or baffled about
by contrary winds, and subject to the an-
noyance of steam-vessels running in and out
of harbour at night, so that the loss to in-
dividuals, or the country, would be more in one
season than all the cost of the splendid and capaci-
ous docks now in course of completion in the
still—deep waters of Southampton. Our especial
wonder has been, that an undertaking of such obvious
national concern should have been so long overlooked.
But better late than never. The work now progresses
with becoming spirit, and persons of all shades of opi-
nion—for Commerce, after all, takes but one line in
politics, PROFIT—are now becoming partners in,
or supporters of, this very promising work, which
when the Railway is completed, will bring Southamp-
ton as near to the Royal Exchange as the East and
West India Docks now are. Nor is this all,
for what London may have hitherto lost by the
cessation of the East India Company's trade, will
be more than regained by the large acces-
sion of commerce, which it will receive through the
facility of communication with Southampton. In-
deed, in a short time we shall see Bristol and
Southampton vieing with Liverpool in commercial
importance ; and this is perhaps but just, for trade
always thrives best when stimulated by competition,
and divided and spread over large surfaces of
country, rather than confined to one locality.
Having always taken so much interest in these na-
tional undertakings which tend so much to improve
the country generally, The Sun cannot but feel proud
that it has enforced and supported them when no other
Journal paid them any attention. We conclude by
heartily wishing all such legitimate improvements as
the Southampton Railway and Docks all the success
which they may merit.

Letters from Constantinople of the 3d inst. announce
the arrival of Colonel WtLBRAHAm in that capital
on the Ist, from Teheran, with despatches from Mr.
M.NEIL, the British Ambassador in Persia, to Lord
PONSONBY. We are informed that these dispatches

containLd assurances of the ascendancy of British in-

fluence at the Court of the SHAH, notwithstanding
the efforts of the agents of Russia to widen the breach

between the English and Persian Governments, by re-
presenting in terms the most exaggerated the disgrace of
raising the siege of Herat at the suggestion, or rather in
obedience to the mandate, of the British Ambassador.
Sensible that were the Princes who govern Cabool,
Candahar, and Peshawer, _ reduced to the condi-
tio❑ of mere vassals of the SHAH, her influence
would be unbounded in the East, Russia exerts
all her influence to inflame the ambition of the Per-
sian
SOVEREIGN, by reminding him of the once
wide extent of his kingdom, and holding out pro-
mises of ample support, in the event of his re
solving to render himself absolute. For once, how-
ever, have the intrigues of Russia been wholly frus-
trated by the firmness of the British Ambassador and
the military promptitude of the Bengal Government.
Captain BURNES, who is now at the Court of Cabool,
is said to be a man well qualified to execute the mis-
sion entrusted to him on behalf of England.
The greatest harmony prevails between theßritish and
Turkish fleets now cruising off the Dardanelles. The
CAPITAN PACHA andAdtniral STOPFORD have seve-
rally entertained each other on board their respective
ships, amidst the liveliest demonstrations of international
concord. The assemblage of Turkish and English
officers on these occasions was very numerous ; and,
according to the reports, the Mussulmans heartily en-
joyed the amusements prepared for them by the British
