conformity to laws of nature, and is governed by
them. Since man has kept any records of his
own existence, he has existed in society, which
is as much a part of the material universe, and
is as much governed by general laws, as the
winds and the rain.
Being thus founded in natural laws, mot in
schemes of kings and legislators, the same laws
obviously determine its progress. The chief, per-
haps the only, great physical change in society,
the parent of many changes in individuals, is the
increase of population. By and with that in-
crease, division of labour, one great source of
skill, and of augmented productive power, which
begins in the different employment of the sexes,
is extended ; knowledge is enlarged, arts are
called forth, and civilization expanded. Whatever
subordinate consequences may ensue, however va-
rious and oscillating may be the causes of these
improvements, sometimes one predominating and
then another, such is a rough and brief out-
line of the course of society from the beginning
of time till now. Wars have ensued and checked
the progress; pestilence has arisen and desolated
the fairest spots of the earth ; but the same laws
which first ordained them to be peopled have re-
peopled them, or carried the stream of society in
some other direction. Man, and the laws which
regulate his existence on earth, are as lasting as
the earth itself. From the beginning till now
the main tendency of society has been to increase
and to improve; and it is a false and most mis-
chievous error to assume the reverse, and to form
or seize a Government with a view to act on this
error.

We must assure our readers that we have not
attributed to the Tories any principle they do not
maintain ; and we must repeat, with all sincerity,
and all the zeal at our command, that this is a
great practical question for the present
moment. The Tories are ready to carry out
their false theory by the strong hand. They
see the democracy growing in intelligence and
power; they see manufactures, or skilled labour,
in the natural progress of things, superseding
in a great measure unskilled labour; they see,
in consequence, the skilled labourers, and those
who employ them, surpassing in wealth the less
skilled labourers and their employers, who own
the land, and who were once pre-eminent in
society. They regard this natural progress, the
result of the same natural laws which established
society in its commencement, as an evil ; and
they take office, claiming it by a sort of divine
appointment, resolved to put a stop to all that.
The outcry of the Tories is against the increase
of skilled labourers, who use machinery. From
Lord ASHBURTON, to the writer in the Herald,
they want to stop the tendency of society to in-
crease and congregate in towns.
We know not why that present tendency
should be evil any more than those past tenden-
cies which have gradually conducted society
from the savage to the civilised state. We
know, however, that it is prodigious presump-
tion in the Tories to affirm the tendencies of so-
ciety are evil, and to claim a right to check
and control them. A single branch of the oak
assuming to prescribe to the whole tree when it
shall put forth its leaves, and when it shall ripen
its fruit—a few drops of the ocean assuming to
give laws to the tides—some one star of superior
splendour assuming to regulate the movements
of all the starry host,--none of these anoma-
lous ambitions are more anomalous or more ex-
travagant than the Tory pretension of opposing
and stopping the progress of society. We repeat
that society is a natural fact, regulated by natu-
ral laws ; and that the Tories might as well un-
dertake to govern the seasons, because they may
be at present unfavourable, according to our
limited views, as to resist and control the ten-
dencies of society.

The existence of such terrible tyranny, dese-
crating the name of law, is a great evil to
both countries, which brings on them a
corresponding curse, in the general poverty
and turbulence of the light-hearted Irish.
But the evil does not stop here. Power-
ful writers of both parties in Ireland and Eng-
land, take up different sides of the question, and
inflame the animosities of both people. A wide-
spread national hatred is the consequence, which
shows itself by the English denying equal pri-
vileges to the Irish, and by the Irish demanding
to have the Union repealed. Rancorous abuse
is poured forth by both patties; one-sided and
distorted facts are laid before the public; errors
become the staple of opinion ; and a violent con-
flict of sects, parties, and nations is the result.
The landlords hug with delight their tyrannous
law; and as they hug it, it maims and wounds
themselves. There are other indulgences be-
sides those in opium and wine, and the indul-
gence in tyranny is one, which are fatal to those
who delight in them.

About ten months ago we had occasion to make some
comments on a foolish resolution of the Wigtown Pres-
bytery, the object of which was to induce the Directors
of the Galloway Steam Navigation Company to prevent
a steamer that plies between Garlieston and Liverpool
from starting on a Saturday, as the vessel was occasion-
ally driven back by stress of weather, and thereby pro-
faned the Sabbath in Scotland. The Directors were
forced to comply with the tyrannical injunction of the
Spiritual Court, and thereby destroy the property of a
great number of respectable Shareholders, as appears
from a circular issued by the Treasurer, calling a meet-
ing at the Court House of Wigtown, on the 27th inst.,
to consider a motion for " dissolving the Company, sell-
ing the vessel, and winding up the concern." A postscript
which the Treasurer subjoins, like a lady afraid to tell
the truth in the body of her letter, explains the whole
Ul air. " For a considerable time past," says he, " the
Directors have discontinued advertising the vessel for
two trips in the week, as it was found impossible to sail
so often without desecrating the Sabbath. The receipts
of the vessel have in consequence fallen off considera-
bly." Well done, Sir ANDREW AGNEW ! For years
you tormented the House of Commons with petitions
and motions for shackling the people of England, and
when the wise electors of Galloway rejected you for
your manifold absurdities, you have avenged yourself by
stirring up a few bigoted Pharisaical Churchmen to in-
jure your native county. It is indeed melancholy to see
a religious, moral, and industrious people harassed, plun-
dered, and checked in their attempts to improve their coun-
try, by acts that would disgrace the Mormonites and Jump-
ers. To reason with such men is useless ; but sensible
people cannot fail to see that stopping the steam-boat
will not prevent what the pious Chairman calls the dese-
cration of the Sabbath. Sailing vessels will still carry
passengers to Liverpool, and the chances are that two of
these will be driven back for one steamer, and that
tie
noise made by the sailors, the profane swearing 0,; the
Captain, the flapping of the sails, and the rattlirg of the
cordage, will desecrate the Sabbath infinitely more than
the steady motion of the paddle-wheels, or even the
whistling sound of the steam pipe. In a great com-
mercial country like this, it is absolutely im-
possible to put a stop to business on any
day, and were such a suicidal act as that committed
by the Galloway Company to be imitated here, the rela-
tives of the parties would apply to the LORD CHANCEL-
LOR for a writ de lunatico inquirendo, on the plea that they.
were not capable of managing their affairs. HE that
delighteth in mercy rather than srxrifice, must regard
with displeasure those who deprice industrious men of
employment, and helpless child:en of bread, on grounds
alike rejected by Beason, Scripture, and all but universal
opinion.

if it be the case in England, as we yesterday
pointed out, that the law enables the opulent
and the powerful to wreak their vengeance on
such of the lower classes as endeavour to oppose
their will, it is also the case in Ireland to an
extreme degree. There the people, outraged
and insulted by a dominant aristocracy and a
dominant sect—the law and the Government
being avowedly constructed to promote sectarian
or Protestant advantages—much more frequently
than the people of England break out into acts
of violence, and seek the gratification of revenge
in spite of the law. In Ireland the landlords,
who have made the law for their own advantage,
and who have within our own memory rendered
the law of ejectment more stringent to serve
their purposes—in Ireland the lanffiords turn the
people out of house and home by scores and
hundreds. They have a regular name for this
process, and call it " CLEARING." When a land-
lord expects to improve his revenue or enlarge
his farms, or intends to make some other dispo-
sition of his land, as his caprice or his interest
dictates, he ejects scores of human beings from
the soil their fathers had made fertile by their
toil, and dooms them to emigrate or to perish.
The Protestant landlord in Ireland having this
legal power, by which he can coerce and evelt
exterminate a refractory peasantry, may, by the
help and the instrumentality of the law, gratify
the utmost malignity of his heart. Nobody, we
suppose, will contend that he is not as liable to
be influenced by all the evil passions of our com-
mon nature as the peasantry he tramples on,
and nobody will say that he will not use the
law to gratify them. When he wants to -punisli

The Paris Journals 'a Monday have reached us, with
intelligence from the..t city of yesterday's date ; and from
Madrid of the 13t;i1 inst., which will be found in another
part of The SuU, Galignani's Messenger of Monday con-
tains a verb sensible, temperate, and cleverly written
article exposing the gross ignorance of those
French -writers who have denounced the occu-

the no small surprise of the French public, Vie Con-
srantionnel, M. Tninas's journal, defends the con-
duct of the Government at Toulouse, while the Courrier
Francais, M. O'DILLON BARROT'S organ, fiercely de-
nounces it. The following paragraphs include the gene-
ral news in Monday's Journals :-
- An Imperial Ukase has been issued at St. Petersburg'',
conferring upon all persons who will go into the more distant
parts of Siberia, in search of gold mines, the privilege of
working them for their own profit during twelve years, after
which they are to revert to the Government.
A letter from the Piraeus (Athens), of the 30th ult., re-
lates that on the preceding day the charges were drawn from
the guns of the French corvette Embuscade in that harbour,
and placed on the poop to dry. At the same time the gunner
was inspecting the mortar connected with the life-buoy, and,
by some accident, touched the spring which lights the fuse, and
discharged it. The fire caught about SOlbs. of powder, laid
out to dry near it, and a general explosion of that and the
charges took place—broke up the deck, destroyed other parts
of the ship, killed three men, and wounded twelve others. Cap-
tain Mallet, the commander, who was writing in his cabin, was
covered with fragments, but fortunately received no injury.

law entirely out of view, they go on, day after
day, selecting and dressing up to excite the
abhorrence of the English, every act of violence
which the DENNIS O'BRIENS of Ireland are
guilty of, in despair of obtaining redress from
the landlords' law, administered by landlords.
They exaggerate every outrage of every descrip-
tion committed by the Catholic peasantry, -and
do their best, day after day, to nourish against
them the hatred of the ill-informed Protestants
of England, who never reflect on the legal ini-
quities which drive the Irish peasantry into fury
and rebellion. The slightest disrespect, such as
not voting as the landlord wishes, is sufficient to
make a tenant an object of vengeance, which the
landlord goes, not behind the hedge, but behind
the law, to execute.

ABROAD.
FOREZGN—COLONXAL.
The Paris Journals of Monday are much divided
in opinion as to the share the Government has had in
provoking the disturbances at Toulouse. The Presse
and the Ministers throw all the blame on M. Mahul,
because he had not the courage to remain at his post
after the populace had convinced him that they were re-
solved to knock his brains out. M. Mahul was so unfit
a subject for political martyrdom, that at the end of the
first stage of his journey to Paris, after his escape, he
was so paralysed with terror that he had to be lifted
into the diligence. Nor had his knees ceased to knock
together, and his teeth to rattle with fear, when he
reached Paris.
The political rat Plougoulm, the Attorney-General,
escaped over the roof of his house, and hid himself un-
der a bed in a neighbouring apartment, till the
presence of the troops assured him that, however
worthy to the exaltation of a lamp-post, he
would not yet be called upon to give France such a proof
of his past devotion to the service of King Louis Phi-
lippe at the expense of humanity and the laws. The
French Government is a little too hard uron these fugi-
tive functionaries. 'Were the King and his Ministers
severally requested to cite those instances of chivalrous
attachment to former Governments in which they braved
the terrors of death rather than forego the dangers im-
posed upon them by their allegiance, their answer, we
opine, would consist of a series of very wry faces.
The inhabitants of Toulouse were quiet on the
17th, but a rumour prevailed that they were collecting
powder and shot, in anticipation of a "scrimmage " with
the newly appointed authorities and the troops of the
line. The Provisional Prefect hearing this, prohibited
the sale of gunpowder, and seized what remained in the
stores of the dealers. Troops from all directions were
marching upon the city. If the Government provoke
more bloodshed in Toulouse, Heaven only knows where
the slaughter may terminate. Never was the French
Government in a worse condition to stem the torrent of
a revolutionary outbreak than at this moment, when its
home and foreign policy are alike unpopular. The
disaffection throughout France, though apparently silent,
is deep-seated and wide-spread,
Paris was visited on Sunday morning by a dreadful
hurricane. Many trees round the capital were torn up
by the roots, and the crops dreadfully injured.
On the 10th ult, a similar hurricane swept over
Moscow, unroofing 252 houses, and partially destroying
the Great Theatre, the Naval Hospital, the Riding
School, and the Convent of the Epiphany.
—lt appears that the Englishman Lilycrap, who was
seized at Boulogne with an infernal machine, and sent
to Paris to be examined, visited France in the loyal
capacity of a regal auxiliary. His purpose was not to
shoot the King with his machine, but to sell his Majesty,
at a reasonable rate, a weapon for shooting his disaffected
subjects. Lilycrap, therefore, instead of being classed
with Fieschi and Alibaud, will figure in the future Court
calendars of France with the inventors of culverins,
muskets, red het shot, shells, and other right
loyal instruments of mob destruction. It is dis-
tressing to have to add that when Lilycrap's de-
votion to the Ic ng was made known to his Parisian
Judges, inst,,,ad of recommending him to the Minister of
War as a. formidable opponent of the Times' protege,
Mr. Warner, they merely told him that the Government
ceased to be at the charge of his lodging, boarding, and
personal attendance.

The addresses of the Council and Legislative As-
' sembly of the United Provinces of Upper and Lower
Canada, in answer to Lord Sydenham's speech from the
Throne at the opening of the first session of the United
Provincial Parliament, have reached us. As they are
merely echoes of his Lordship's speech, which ap-
peared in The Sun, we shall not inflict such a mass of
common-place repetitions upon the patience of our
readers. Throughout the addresses the legislative bodies
promise to perform all that Government deemed it pro-
per to ask them to do, either in relation to themselves or
the mother country. They are angry about the deten-
tion of Mr. INPLeod by the Government of New
York—eager for cheap postage--ready to promote
public works—as willing to borrow money as
Great Britain is to lend it, and, on the score
of repaying interest, they beat England hollow in indif-
ference—have no objection to the diffusion of the
blessings of reading and writing among good little
boys and girls promise the necessary sup-
plies for the purposes of Government invite
emigrants to settle among them—and, in a word, are as
complying with the demands, recommendations, and sng-
gestions of the Noble Governor-General, as Sir Robert
Peel promises to be to the Queen, if her Majesty will
lonly trust her Royal counsels to the guidance of the To-
ries. New-born loyalty is always the hottest.
From the Spanish capital we have news of the
13th, announcing that the Spanish Government is about
to raise a fresh loan of sixty millions of reals at
6 per cent. We can hardly suppose that any
capitalist out of Spain will be so dishonest
or so foolish as to subscribe a single real of any loan

tenants who have thrown_him off, that is, would not vote
against their conscience, he would throw off, and no one
could blame him for putting persons into his land who
would support what he regards as good Government, alias
Orange tyranny. The landlords who make the posses-
sion of land an instrument of oppression, will ere long
be required to show by what right they hold it.
The progress of foreign trade has made the agri-
culturist what he is (says the "Chronicle). It has added
nearly seven-millions of acres to the land in cultivation,
and it has largely enhanced the amount of produce from
the same extent
.of soil. One cannot imagine a more
deplorable infatnation than that which has befallen the
landed interest.

But a short time ago, we had too much ChurcA
according to that veracious journal, the Times. Now
according to the same authority, we have not half enough,
for "in the Church the life of the nation emphatically
resides."

The struggle of the late election, with its conse-
quent successes and defeats, form ample subjects •of in-
quiry for the Dublin Pilot. The effect of this struggle, it
declares, has been to widen the breach between the two
countries ; and the whole circumstances of the contest
give a temper and determination to the Irish people to
estrange themselves from their Tory oppressors. A
subsequent article treats upon the " capability of Ire-
land for her own military defence"—to which it shows
Ireland to be every way adequate.
The Brighton Guardian, touching upon the leading
topic of the day, the elections, it says, " Sir Robert Peel
will not reduce the monopolists' taxes ; he takes office
to maintain them. On the other hand he cannot reduce
the State taxes ; on the contrary, the principles on which
he has hitherto acted, will compel him to augment the
expenditure. He must, therefore, either give way, sepa-
rating himself from the monopolists who have placed him
in power, as he has heretofore done, or he will provoke
so much popular resistance, and cause so much evil, that
the community will be compelled to eject him and the
whole tribe of monopolists from power.

RUBTOITHS OP THE DAT.
A doubt is expressed in several quarters whether
Sir E. Sugden will accept the Irish Chancellorship under
the Tory Administration. The little gentleman is waspish
at not getting the English seals, and as they are hung
beyond his reach, he looks for one of the English Equity
Judgeships, which he would not allow the Whigs to
create and fill up, and which the Tories will immediately
establish. Being an Englishman, he dreads to see re-
vived against him the opposition which the Irish Tory
bar got up to Lord Campbell, and, it is supposed, that
Mr. Lefroy will be the Tory Lord Chancellor of Ireland.
It is said that the Earl Fortescue is to be married to
Lady Somerville on the 30th instant.
It is probable that the Judicial Committee of the
Privy Council, will give judgment in the great will
cause in the first or second week of next month. Cannot
the Learned Counsel on both sides contrive to get it a
rehearing?

Lord Stanley, it is said, is so determined to remain
on good terms with Sir Robert Peel, that he reads hardly
anything else than the Right Hon. Baronet's speeches,
and labours most assiduously to forget all his own, de-
livered prior to the year 1839. The Tories speak with
raptures of his humility, consequent on his new politi-
cal birth.

The Tory Ministry is arranged. Sir Robert Peel
is placed at the head of the list by the organs of the
party, and th 3 Dul e of Wellington, though President of
the Council, is placed at the bottom. Buckingham, as
we surmised some time ago, goes to the Admiralty, but
we regret to see no place mentioned for D'lsraeli. Lord
Lyndhurst, as we also guessed, goes to Paris as her
Majesty's Ambassador.

The Galloway Steam Navigation Company is about
to be dissolved to please the Wigtown Presbytery. One
of their steam-boats which plied between Garliestown
and Liverpool usually started on the Saturday, and
was once driven back by stress of weather on the Sun-
day morning, which so scandalised Sir Andrew Agnew,
that he and the Presbytery concocted a plot for blowing
up the Company, and they will succeed.

EX PRESS FROM PARIS

The Moniteur of Tuesday (yesterday) published three
royal ordinances, one placing General St. Michel, the military
commander of Toulouse, on the half-pay list ; the other appoint-

dorsers to provide payment.

PAnts BOURSE.—No business doing. Three per Cents.,
7tif. 65c. for Account. Fives, 11M. 15c.
Madrid letters of the 13th give the following projects of law
presented to the Cortes on the 7th:—
One project is for the modification of duties on native
produce, principally applicable to large towns, and for the
relief of the poorer classes, by reducing one-half the
duties on oil, wine, and other articles for general
consumption. Another for the raising of sixty
millions of reals at six per cent. per annum, to enable the
Treasury to meet its most pressing necessities, and to facilitate
its measures of retrenchment—to ascertain the amount of the
floating debt—to adjourn to a fixed number of years the total
payment of the old debt and of this new loan of sixty millions,
by applying to their extinction the produce of the two reales,
or of one of them, and consequently diminishing the monthly
sum of twenty-one millions and more, employed for the inte-
rest thereof.

Another project is as follows :
" Art. 1. Shall be admitted to the capitalization stipulated
in the decree of the Provisional Regency, on the 21st January,
1841, the bills or bonds of the Public Treasury, issued in pay-
ment of the half-yearly dividend of the foreign debt, due on the
Ist Nov. 1836.

" Art. 2. To the capital represented by the said bonds steal'
be added interest at five per cent., from Nov. 1, 1836, to Dec,
31, 1840.

(Signed) " P. SURRA Y RULL."
Another project.—The law of April 17, 1838, has autho-
rised the Government to capitalize the interest of the foreign
loans. The law of the 21st of June, 1840, has extended this
authorization of capitalizing to the interest of the home conso-
lidated debt.

DEATH OF SIR EDWARD MOSTYN, BART.
—We have to record the death of the above worthy Baronet,
who died at Talacre, the family seat, in Flintshire, on Sunday
last, after a lengthened illness. The deceased, who was the
seventh baronet, was born in 1785, married first, in 1808, Miss
Blundell, daughter of Mr. Nicholas Blundell, of Crosby-hall,
Lancashire, and secondly in 1826, third daughter of the late
Mr. Henry Slaughter, of Furze-hall, Essex. In 1823, he suc-
ceeded his father. Was eustos brevium of the Court of Com-
mon Pleas, and was last year appointed Deputy-Lieutenant
of Flintshire. He is succeeded by his eldest son by his first mar-
riage, now Sir Pyers Mostyn, Bart., born in [Bll.
DEATH OF LADY EMMA WEMYSS.—The
mournful intelligence of the demise of ker ladyship was received
by the Earl of Erroll and other branches of the family. Her
ladyship expired at Torrie House, Fifeshire, on Saturday last.
The deceased, who was youngest daughter of the Earl of Erroll
by his second marriage with Miss A. Elliot, and sister to the
present Earl and Lady Isabella Wemyss, bed-chamber woman
to her Majesty Queen Adelaide, was born Jan. 29, 1809, and
had consequently only attained he 32d year. Her Ladyship
married, the Bth of August, 1826, Capt. J. Wemyss, R.N.,

LORD WILLIAM RUSSELL.—On this day, n
1683, that noble and distinguished patriot suffered death in
Lincoln's Inn-fields, a martyr in the cause of civil and reli-
gious liberty; a cause which has so honourably marked the
progress of this family, who have so consistently, and in such an
undaunted manner, used their influence in the dissemination
of the principles of constitutional freedom, even to the present
day. This day is also the anniversary of the death of our cele.
brated poet Burns, in 1796.

COLCHESTER.-RUMOURED RESIGNATION
OF Ma. SANDERSON.—A report has been current, durirg the
week, that an arrangement has been made with Mr. Sander-
son, to accept the stewardship of the Chiltern Hundreds, in
order to make room for Mr. Herries, the rejected of Ipswich.
The rumour has obtained much credit, as Mr. Herries will be
wanted in the new Tory administration ; and, of course, he
will look out for a borough where there is not likely to be an
opposition. We hope, however, the activity of the Reformers
will show, should the report prove true, that Mr. Herries has
repeated in this case, his Ipswich blunder—of reckoning with-
out his host.—lpstvick Evros.
