ing recourse to an endless, bloody contest,
to interfere with the traffic of these des-
peradoes ? And without putting them down,
and at the same time entering into a war with
Burmah, Malwa, Siam, and China herself, in
order utterly to eradicate the cultivation of the
poppy, we cannot diminish to the extent of a single
chest of opium the traffic in that drug. What is
still mote, were we to succeed, after an expense of
millions of treasure and myriads of lives, in clearing
the country between Bombay and Canton of the
poppy flower, it would be only to transfer the manu-
facture of the poison to the Pachalicks of Bagdad
and Egypt, where it is found to grow better than in
the best opium districts in British India. There is
no use then in canting upon the subject. Do what
we can there is no possibility of our ever being able
by means of the force at the disposal of any Go-
vernment all at once to put down such a contraband
,raffic as the trade in opium.

We are glad to see that while the landlords in
the House of Commons fancy that they have put
an end to Anti-Corn-law agitation by a vote, that
the Anti-Corn-law League has redoubled its energy,
and is about to redouble its means of agitation. It
appears by an advertisement in our Paper of Sa-
turday, that the League has advertised for more
lecturers—Anti-Corn-law missionaries, whom it
will despatch into every village of the empire. If
the landlords do not follow the Herald's sugges-
tion, and stifle all discussion by violent means, as a
Pagan priesthood, afraid of Christian truth, have
induced their rulers to put Christians to death, or

smoker. In mostlof our towns, not one but tens,
and hundreds, and thousands of persons are conti-
nually exposed, like the agricultural labour-
ers, to all the horrors of half-starvation. The
spectacle of a hand-loom weaver's wife who has
to feed her famishing little ones on ss. or 6s. a-
week, who is obliged to live in a cellar amidst dirt
and disease, is for us much more painful than the
spectacle of a Chinese opium smoker hurried to an
early grave by his fatal indulgence. But the
noisiest bawlers against the opium trade are the
bread taxers, and their allies. Sir ROBERT PEEL,
did not, indeed, decry the opium trade as immoral,
but Mr. GLADSTONE—the man who has acquired
a fortune by slave labour—did ; the landlords
cheered him, and all the Tories, the bulk of whom
are landlords, voted with him. They see most
clearly the little vice in the opium trader which leads
him to be instrumental in promoting the indulgence
of the opium smoker, and they cannot see the hor-
rible crime they commit in annually sacrificing
great multitudes of their fellow-creatures by a law
limiting the supply of food. As Lord ASHBUR-•
TON said, they cut down the population to the food
they possess, and will allow the people to have
none, except at a most exorbitant price, which they
do not supply.
Between the opium trader, however, and the
Corn-law making landlords, there is this difference,
that the former knows nothing of the use which is
made of his drug ; he forces no man to smoke it ;
but the landlords know the consequence of their
law, and they compel the people to submit to hun-
ger and starvation. As far as the Legislature is
concerned, too, there is a remarkable differ-
ence. At most, it does but tolerate the
opium trader—it does but connive at his con-
duct, whether it be immoral or not ; but
it enacts the Corn-laws. They exist by its decree,
and it is the author of infinitely more evil to our
own people by the Corn-laws than opium smoking
has brought on the Chinese in a century, though
the latter makes the sentimental Tories weep, while
they mock at the sufferings they cause to our own
industrious population.

M. RIVET presented to the French Chamber of
Deputies on Saturday a Bill adopted by a Committee
of the Chamber for reducing the interest on the Five
per Cent. Rentes—a measure to which M. TRIERS is
especially pledged, but to which the KING is known to
be hostile, because it interferes with the vested interests
of the shopocracy and mushroom aristocracy of France.
The Rentes constitute one of the main supports of the
present electoral system, and are as dishonest in princi-
ple as they are mischievous in their operation. What
Tinders them peculiarly objectionable is that the Go-
vernment is perfectly willing to redeem them at the
regular market price ; but the holders will not part
with them, and thus they compel the nation to pay an
exorbitant interest upon a debt which it has
repeatedly offered to dischal ge. Now it is so
obviously contrary to the principles which honestly re-
gulate the relations of debtor and creditor, to refuse
the debtor an opportunity of discharging his debt,
because the interest upon it is double as much as the
creditor could obtain by any other investment of his I
capital, that we are not surprised to find that it has
created a very great sensation in France. M. TRIERS
very properly replies to the clamour about the inva-
sion of vested interests, that France in borrowing
money intended to pay it when she could, and that no
wrong is done to the creditor who receives from the
State what the State actually owes him. But the
Government does not wish to treat the national cre-
ditors with harshness. If there be some who are
a slight reduction of the interest is
averse to the redemption of the contracts for Rentes
in their hands,
proposed, leaving them still a higher rate of interest
than they could otherwise obtain, and bidding the
State not to take any further compulsory step towards a
redemption for ten years. The following ase the prin-
cipal articles of the Rentes Conversion Bill, which was
ordered to be printed, and the debate upon which is
fixed for Thursday next :
" Art. I. The Finance Minister is authorised to effect
the reimbursement of the Five per Cent. stock, at the rate
of 1001. for each sf. of rentes.
" Art. 2. Nevertheless, the holders may demand new
rentes in Four-and-a- Half or Three-and-a- Half per Cent.
In this case they will receive for every 51. of rentes 44f.
in Four-and-a-half per Cent. stock, or 4f. sc. in Three.
and-a-Half per Cent. stock at 86 42.
" Art. 3. The converted rentes will enjoy the interest
of 5 per cent up to the half year after the accomplishment
of the conversion, that semislre inclusive.
" Art 4. A delay of three months is granted to the
holders of Five per Cents. to make the option. Those
who do not answer will remain liable to conversion.
Art. 5. The rentes for which the conversion has not
been asked may be paid by series.
" Art. 6. If stock is held in life:interest, he who holds
the life-interest may accept the conversion in Three-and-
a- Half per Cents. ; but the proprietor, at the cessation of
the life-interest, may reclaim Three-and-a-Half Stock at
the rate of emission, paying up the surplus of interest
paid to the usufruitier. [The rest of the article relates
to this case.]
" Art. 7. The right of conversion by the State is sus-
pended for ten years after the operation with respect to the
new Four-and-a-Half per Cent. Stock created."

THE LATE ELOPEMENT.

We are enabled to lay before our readers the follow-
ing particulars, which may be depended on :
The Reverend Dr. Dyonisius Lardner, who so re-
cently abused the confidence and destroyed the happi-
ness of a family in Brunswick-square, Brighton, has
met with the punishment he so richly deserved. The
husband, after a pursuit of nearly 700 miles, discovered
that the guilty pair had taken refuge in Paris. He,
accompanied by the lady's father, entered the hotel, and
found them at breakfast. The Reverend Doctor then
received, at the hands of the injured husband, such a
tremendous drubbing as will cause him to remember
it to the latest day of his life, which he saved only by
crawling under a pianoforte that stood in the room.
After leaving him, more dead than alive, and putting
his wig on the fire, the party took away teh lady, and
withdrew, leaving the Reverend Doctor to his own me;
ditations.

The above affair took place on Thursday last.

morning, between three and four o'clock, the inhabitants

which took place. The lanterns were extinguished, and
immediately after the officers of the police and gensdarmes
came with lighted torches, and discovered that before the
house of the senator Mayers some combustible matter was
placed, and ignited. The explosion was so strong that it
broke many of the windows of the house, as well as those
of some of the neighbours. All this is imputed to politi-
cal excitement.

The interview which the King of Belgium had yesterday

To-morrow being settling day in the British Market,
the brokers and jobbers are busy in arranging their ac-
counts. The contango, or continuation for the next Ac-
count in May, is about ; or s.l6ths per cent., and on
Spanish only 1-16th this is a proof that money is plenti-
ful, both in the British and Foreign Nlarkets.
The French ship Sappho, which has arrived at Brest
from Monte Video, which place she left on the 6th of
February, brings intelligence that the country round
General Lavalle had been burnt by the army of
Oribe and Lopez Rosa's Generals, which prevented
his future movements. This was not the only embarrass-
ment of Lavalle. The troops of Echaque and Meguiza,
which were thought to have been entirely destroyed before
they could get to Uruguay, have since the 13th January
arrived on the other side of the river in the province of
Aribc ; since which, after having repassed Uruguay, they
marched on the village of Belen, where they committed
horrible excesses. The companies which landed have re-
turned on board again since the 24th January. Admiral
Dupotet also embarked on the 11th on board the frigate
Atalante, and it is stated that, after an inspection of the

The Pilot publishes the following letter :
" MY DEAR. BA 10ETT,—I have been able to perform only
half my afflicting task. It is deplorable that. the Irish people
—the first aod foremost of the human race—should be thus de-
serted. Announceto my friends that I will, please God, be in
Dublin on Monday night, to make arrangements to organise
the peaceable and loyal movement of the Irish nation to resist
scorpion Stanley's Bill, and to obtain full justice to Ireland.
Faithfully yours, DANIEL O'CONNELL.
" London, April Fs, 1840."
The Irish Papers contain another letter from Mr. O'Connell,
addressed to the people of Mayo, which is to be followed by a
similar one to the men of Kilkenny. Mr. O'Connell charges
Sir William Brabazon and Colonel Butler with a dereliction of
their Parliamentary duty by remaining at home, instead of
being in their places to protect the franchise and support the
Government.
