SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

FROM T 1 EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.

GLOBE.—Sir Robert Peel's speech at Tamworth is, as
usual, in great part composed of compliments to his own
consistency, at the implied expense of his opponents, and
compliment; to his own, moderathin, at the implied ex-
pense of his supportap,..ailiere is also the never-failing in-
gredient—a citation from a Free Trade klet, for the
purpose of establishing his case out of the 'mouths of his
adversaries. We have no objection to all this ; but all this
has little interest for the public. The public cares
very little whether the immaculate leader of the Tory
party, having made sonic faux pas, in point of consist-
ency, in his earlier career, has succeeded subsequently in
building up for himself a first-rate prudish reputation fur
that quality. The public cares very little for that; and
we doubt oven if the Tamworth constituency, for whom
Sir Robert Peel expresses such prodigious deference,
cares much more for it. At all events, it is certain
that the Right Honourable Baronet, if he could find
nothing better to say to the people of TVestininster,
wisely avoided addressing himself to them. We
take it that prudence had quite as much to do as
preference for his Tamworth auditory in deciding him
to stick to the latter. .Illa se jactet in aula. We shall
confine our attention entirely to the bearing of this speech
on public interests. It is the treatment of those inter-
ests, and not of himself or of his opponents, that can alone
concern the public at a time like the present, when a
statesman addrenes them, who puts forward pretensions
to conduct their affairs. What have the public to hope then
from Sir R. Peel's way of speaking ? In the first place,
something from the tone of discouragement which seems
to pervade it. This is not the tone of a " conquering
hero," but of "a good man struggling with distress." Sir R.
Peel struggles so cleverly, that it would indeed be a
thousand pities the electors should not supply him with
sufficient distress to go on struggling with. Sir Ro-
bert Peel appears to anticipate that, in the next Par-
liament, as in the last, he shall continue to afford " a
spectacle worthy of the gods" in opposition. Sir • R.
Peel repeats the pleadings for the West India in-
terest, founded on the " great experiment" of tran-
sition to freedom from slavery. Now we conceive that
the real blow was struck at the productive power of
our West India colonies—not when slavery was abo-
lished, but many years before, when the slave trade
was abolished. From that period it was certain to those
whose eyes were-not blinded by enthusiasm, that the de-
ficiency of labour, unless extraordinary means were used
.to, supply it, must -be felt, both in our older colonies
(which already competed at a disadvantage with the fer-
tile soils of our own and foreign possessions recently
brought under sugar culture), and in such of our own
dependencies,
.as the Mauritius, Trinidad, and British
Guiana, which have yet soils of virgin and unexhalisted
fertility. Emancipation hastened, but only hastened, the
crisis which the abolition of the slave trade inevitably
produced in both these classes of colonies.

STANDARD.—The speech of Sir Robert Peel at
Tainworth may be considered as a model of the class of
eloquence to which it belongs ; that eloquence which
consists in the expression in the simplest phraseology of
the noblest and manliest sentiments that can animate the
human heart. What a contrast does it present to the
shallow shuffling sophistry which characterises the
speeches of the leading Whig!, and more especially that
of Lord John Russell, on similar occasions. Unlike his
wily and tortuous opponents, Sir Robert has left no part
of his policy unexplained or unjustified, and so complete
is his exposure of the fraudulent pretences of the
late budget that a. greater service could not be ren-
dered to the Conservative cause at the present moment
than the widest diffusion of his address to his consti
tuency among the people of England. Unlike Lord
Bussell, who has been driven from pillar to post—

( From the London Mercantile Journal of June 29.)
SUGAR.—To-day there was little life in the market for West
India, and from both grocers and refiners but a limited busi-
ness was done, but holders are firm, and obtained full rates;
the sales are only 200 hhds and tierces.
B EFINED. —To-day there was but a small business done in
refined goods, but former rates were fully supported.
WEST INDIA ItIOLA SSES. —The demand Is dull, especially
for the lower qualities, which are unsaleable even at easier
prices. By public sale have been offered 52 puns Demerara,
the whole of which was bought in, fair quality atilks per cwt.
TEA.—To-day there was more life in the market for
free trade; there was a fair attendance at the public
sales, which consisted of ten thousand packages, and the
trade were desirous to buy, but the firmness of the mer-
chants operated against them, and only four thou.aud
packages were actually sold ; the prices paid are Id perlb above
those of the last auctions for Cocgou, but steady for other sorts.
Bohea, ord sold at Is 9.1; Congou, urd 2s to 2s Id, middling
and good 2s 2d to 2s sd, and One 2s 6d to 2s 7d; Twankay,
fair Is II id to is I id ; Pouchonz, Is 7id to 2s 3isl ;
low to fair 2s fld to 3s 314 per lb.
Company's Congou cold steadily at 2s Id cash, at which
rate the market closed firm.
Cocoa. —The better sorts of West India Cocoa have again
advanced Is per cwt, and have gone off rather freely; the low-
est sorts have met with a fair request, and have likew:se pro-
duced rather stiffer prices. By public sales have been offered
27 brls, 345 bags, which were all disposed of ; Trinidad good
red at 493 6d' to 50s 6d, good fair red at 47s to 49s ; dull
and dark to middling red at 41s to 455, good fair grey at 42s 64
to 435, and St. Lucia ordinary at 40s per cwt.
PROVISI 0 Ns.—The prices of Irish Butter are Is lower, and
the demand rather dull ; Cork landed selling at 93s to94s, and
Limerick at 91s to 93s per cwt. The trade in Foreign Butter is
steady at the -educed rates established last week, fine 94s to 96s
per cwt. The high prices of Bacon have in some degree
checked the demand, and the trade now supply themselves to
the extent only of their immediate wants; the holders arehow-
ever firm, and previous rates are supported. Waterford size-
able, landed brings 61s to 635, and Limerick ditto 58s to 60s
per cwt. Irish Hams still very firm in price, but not quite so
much sought after.
TaLLow.—The demand for Tallow continues limited, but
prices are firm at 47s 3d to 47s 6d en the spot, and at 48s to
48s 3d for an ival.
Sriarrs.--ForJarna'ca and strong Demerara Rum the de-
mand is yet very partial, and the small transactions are at prices
in favour of the buyers. Only 50 puns Jamaica have been sold du-
ring the week, 30 to 34 over at 4s 10d to 5s 3d per gall. Common
Leewards Declined about 2d per gallon, and the market is in in
inactive state ; the sales are confined to about 150 puns. proof
to 5 over at Is 10d to 2s per gallon. Bengal has been in re-
quest for export as well as by the last Government contractors,
and upwards of 300 casks have changed hands at Is 2d for
proof.strength, at which price it is now rather difficult to buy.
The Brandy Market continues very dull, there being free
ssllers at our quotations, while few buyers can be met with.
Of the vintage of 1834 there is now little let, and in conse-
quence prices of this description are firmly maintained. Ge-
neva in steady request at previous rates. In British Corn
Spii its the transactions are of a limited character, at about
9s 11c1 to 9s 11d per ga
BICE —Of the good qualities of Bengal Rice there are still
but few sample >to be met with, and in consequence sea, cely
any business has beendone in them; prices are firm. The lower
qualities are still abundant, and are offered freely, with but a
1 mited demand, and 1,497 bags 2,405 pockets put up to public
sale went heavily; but mostly sold and supported previous rates
middling bold white rather old at lOs 6d to I Is; middling
yellowish white, little dusty and broken at lOs to 101 6d, yellow
cargo 8s 6d, and sea damaged at 6s to lOs per cwt.
Gistcrit.—East India has brought rather higher prices, but
with a limited demand only. West India continues steady and
114 bales and barrels offered at public sale were sold at 3/. Is.
to 71. 15s. fcr inferior to good middling.
Pterzr..—The demand for black continues quiet, the orders
being confined to small parcels, and at low limits : by public
auction only 807 bags" Malabar have been offered, which sold
at 31d to 3ld for good light, which are about former rates.
Privately a few small parcels of Penano. and Sumatra of fair
quality have changed hands at 3V, per lbr:
INDIGO.--..The quantity of East India now declared for
public auction in JUly amaants to 13,2101 chests, and it appears
is likely to be still further increased. The brokers are very
busily engaged in the inspection of the samples, and the market
remains very quiet without any change of prices.

EXTRACT FROM THE ROCHEFORTIN.—FOr
three years the works of the maritime arsenal of Roche-
fort have made considerable increase. It is remembered
with what promptitude have been executed the construc-
tion and armament of the frigate La Gloire, and of the
. ship L'lnflexible ; at this moment they are proceeding
with the steamer Le Gomer, with still greater activity.
This vessel, commenced in January 1841, will be
finished and launched very shortly if the engines
arrive at Rochefort • opportunely ' • they are expected
very soon. Some particulars of this immense steam-
frigate will nor perhaps appear out of place. Her total
displacement is near that of a 74-gun-ship, as Le Triton.
Her extreme breadth is 12 metres 45 centimetres ; her
depth ef,hold, ki metres 20 centimetres ; the length at
load of flotation, when stored for sea, which is 70 metres
-95 centimetres, exceeds that of a vessel of 100 guns, as
L'Hercule of 9 metres. - In measuring the distance which
ought to be found between the after part, the main-boom and
the fore extremities of the flying jib-boom, a space is ob-
tained of 106 metres 50 centimetres, of which one can form

INCREASE OF RAILWAY TRAFFIC.—At a
`lite Meeting of the Manchester _and Leeds Railway, the
chairman gave an the
account of traffic of some of the
leading first opened,
railways when they and their pro-
gressrve
• increase ; from which it appeared that the
1 line opened September,
1830, in
Manchester anti • Liverpool
1830, and for the first three months their traffic averaged
1,5001. per week ; for the whole of the year 1831 it ave-
raged 3,000/. per week, being 100 per cent, increase on the
average of the first three months ; and in 1840 it averaged
5,100/. weekly, being an increase of 240 ! per cent. on the
first three months. The Grand Junction opened in
July, 1837, and their traffic for the first 25 weeks ave-
raged 4,450/. During the same period, in the following
year, it averaged 6,5001. a week, being an increase of 46
per cent. The average weekly traffic on that line, for
1838, was 5,5001.; for 1839, 7,750/., and for 1840, 8,400/.,
being an increase of 90 per cent. in the course of three
years and a half upon the average of the first six months.
The • London and Birmingham line was opened
in September, 1838, and the first three months the
average traffic was 8,900/. per week. During the
same' period, in the following year, it was 12,0001.
weekly, being an increase of 35 per cent. ; and, in
1840, it averaged 14,700/. per week, being, in two
years and a quarter, an increase of 65 per cent. on the
receipts. Now, this statement clearly shows that it is a
work of time before a railway can fully develope its
resources ; and, as there are a number of shareholders
in railways just opened, or about to be opened, who
are unacquainted with these facts, and who run in the
market and sell.their shares at a loss, because their cal-
culations are not at once realised, I trust that you will
spare a place for this in your next, and, by so doing, it
may arrest the attention of some holder who may be
prevented from heedlessly sacrificing his property, and
thus accomplish the object of the write r.—Correapen-
dent of the Railway Times.
The following is Lord Charles Fitzroy's answer
to the llon. Mr. Carrer's address, on the presentation of the Zante
Testimonial, an account of which appears in another part of The
Swn :—" It must be considered as one of the proudest days of my
life in having received so honourable a testimonial from the people
of Zante, for the services I have endeavoured to render the lonian
Islands, by doing away with the mockery and obtaining thr them
the reality Oa free• constitution, which has been so long and un.
justly witheld from one of the wealthiest, most industrious, and
most enlightened countries of the South of Europe. The lion.
Mr. Curer will be pleased to express to the inhabitants of Zante
bow deeply sensible I feel for the honour conferred upon me and
that my exertion; for their welfare shollbe unremitting."
