THE STIN, LONDON,
_FRIDAY .VENN Gr, AUGUST 20, 184:

1 those memorable words of CHILLINGWORTH—
CALVIN, or" By the religion of Protestants I do not un-
-1 derstand the doctrines of LETHER, or
MELANcTnoN, nor the Confession of Augsburg or
Geneva, nor the catechism of Heidelberg, nor the
I articles of the Church of England ; no, nor the
harmony of Protestant confessions; hut that wherein
' they all agree, and which they all subscribe with a
greater harmony, as a perfect rule of their faith and
actions—that is the Bible—the Bible ; I say the
Bible alone is the religion of Protestants." Surely
after that no qualms of conscience can justify any
converted Protectionists from procrastinating the evi-
dence:of their political allegiance to the ex-Premier
Ithrough fear of his unholy sympathy with the doctrines
of Popery ! Maynooth grants are surely nothing to
the purpose ; nor good-natured hints about the obli-
iteration of the penal laws against the Catholics ; nor
equally good-natured demands for the extension of the
blessings of national education to the spiritual lieges
of Pope Pius IX.; no, nor even Oxford votes for a
dubious religionist like the Right Hon. W. E. GLAD-
STONE. PEEL-and-Popery forms a very pretty piece
of malignant alliteration, but henceforth it is
vapid and inapplicable. The Catholics must stand by
themselves : they are no longer strengthened by the
imaginary connivance of the ex-Premier. The Pro-
tectionists can still solace themselves for the loss of
one pet alliteration by another still remaining in their
vocabulary. Sir RALPH THE ROVER, who, according
to the poet, " tore his hair, and cursed himself in his
despair," was decidedly not a better theme for those
fond of a little melodramatic extravagance than Sir
ROBERT THE RENEGADE.

The Right lion. Baronet inculcates one principle
in the course of his speech, which even Protectionists
and Free -traders must coincide in admiring—
namely, the principle of universal tolerance. Sir
ROBERT aspires to see the time when religionists
shall fnrEc.t their feuds and breathe nothing but a
spirit of brotherly affection for each other. The
aspiration is almost too dazzling to be real ; but in
our day the abolition of the corn-laws was an ignis
fatuus.

An important reform is seldom achieved in any
matter until some case of extreme hardship has
taken place. It may be manifest that there is some-
thing defective in the system, something radically
wrong, and urgently requiring an alteration, but
until the public mind is thoroughly aroused by some
of its practical results, no efficient steps will be taken
for its amendment. The horrible cat, the abominable
practice of corporal punishment, was not less re-
pulsive or disgusting before poor WHITE became
its victim at Hounslow, but it was his shocking fate
that awakened the sympathies of the people, and
occasioned that universal demand, temperately but
firmly expressed, for justice to our gallant soldiers,
and the total abolition of so degrading a punishment
—a demand that proved irresistible in,its mighty force,
I and led in a few short weeks to those beneficial and
happy results for which philanthropists had in vain
struggled during a series of years. It has been
said, " that hard cases form bad precedents," but
such is not the fact. It is by their means
that questions are stripped of the fallacies with which
they had been clothed and exposed in their naked
iniquity. They furnish the best illustration of the
lengths to which any point may be carried, and afford
an unanswerable argument to the reformers, who
desire that similar enormities should never again be
perpetrated under the sanction and toleration of the
law.

The question of imprisonment for debt has for
some time past attracted the attention of those desi-
rous of improving our national code. The questions
of how far it can be dispensed with—and what checks
(if any) should be interposed before the power is
given to the creditor of incarcerating the person of
his debtor, and subjecting him to the demoralization
and injury of being removed from his ordinary oc-
cupations, and associated with the inmates of a prison
—of being deprived of earning a subsistence for
himself and family, when, perhaps, his default
has been wholly occasioned by misfortune, and there
has been no misconduct fairly ascribable to him—hare
been long and warmly debated. Some well-disposed
men assert that it is absolutely required for the main-
, tenance of~ Creir cliamercial transactions that such a
power should be retained, and that in every instance
the creditor should be authorised to seize upon, and
detain in custody, the person of his debtor, until
satisfaction is made either by payment of the debt or
an appeal to the Insolvent Courts; while others
maintain that no imprisonment should be sanctioned
until there had been a hearing before some competent
tribunal, and the debtor had failed to satisfy the
presiding judge that his default was owing to a want
of means, and that he was willing to do everything
within his power to discharge his just liabilities. The
latter principle has recently been introduced with
respect to debts under 201. The result is said to be
very beneficial, and it is believed that its exten-
sion to demands of every degree of magnitude would
be exceedingly desirable. By the present system,
where the claim exceeds 201., the debtor can be
punished, and perhaps his entire prospects in life de-
stroyed, before any inquiry has taken place ; by the
other, he should at least be heard, and hare an oppor-
tunity of explaining his conduct, and submitting any
proposition for the satisfaction of his creditors before
the sentence of imprisonment could be carried into
execution. This is apparently more equitable and
some of our most distinguished legislators have
advocated its adoption. Perhaps the former system
might be useful if creditors were never influenced by
vindictive feelings, but, unfortunately, we find daily in-
stances of oppression, where, although there is no
reasonable prospect of their position being improved,
or their claim liquidated thereby, all the engines and
contrivances of the law are put in force, and the
original loss greatly increased, merely in order to
gratify a feeling of vengeance.
A case has just been stated in a letter to a Con-
temporary, bearing the initials of a well-known
philanthropist, and which having been extracted from
the report of the Commissioners of Lunacy, may be
fully credited, and it is hard to conceive a stronger
illustration of the recklessness with which the law is
put into operation by some creditors—a recklessness
that would appear to require the interposition of
some effective checks between the parties. A
naval officer had for twenty years past been
suffering under an aberration of intellect in
addition to a total loss of sight. He was quite
blind, and an incurable lunatic. He had, during that
period been sheltered at the liaslar lunatic asylum,
and ls. 6d. per diem of the half-pay to which he was
entitled as a recompense for services rendered to his
country previous to his affliction was devoted to his
maintenance, the re,idue 33. 6d. per diem being paid
to his wife for her own support and that of his
family, who, with the exception of drawing so much

fro,n his limited means, appeared to have totally aban-
doned him to his fate—th 3 wife havin4 only once

called to see him, and one of his sons having also

paid a single visit to his suffering parent during
his twenty years' confinement. The wife, however,
contracted a debt to a person who at the time was

ignorant even of the existence of her husband.

When pressing for his demand, he was informed of the

fact, and of the state and condition of the unfor-

tunate gentleman, who, in the eye of the law,
was his debtor. It would seem clear, under
such circumstances, that he would incur no
further expense, that he would not think of
forcing the blind lunatic from the asylum, where he
was carefully attended to, and allowed all the
humble comforts suitable for his unhappy situation •
but such was not the cue An attorne was found
to issue a writ, and proceed
to y
jgment and final
execution, and the wretcheudro-inctimdudof the debtor-and-
at
creditor law was seized p
debtors' prison in the month of Deccoetnmsbigerneldast
last, o t
hisn
hum h
humane creditor being well aware
althought,
and
legally, he was not morally responsible for tbed
b
that there was no fund for the payment of 'his demand,
and believing that the lunatic would. be discharged
by the Insolvent Commissioner in the month of April.
It is almost impossible to conceive by what -motives
or feelings the creditor was influenced to ad,ipt such
a course, but the facts speak for themselves, and ren-
der every comment wholly superfluous. It only re-
mains to ask whether the Legislature wil/, continue to
power whick, is subject to
sanction the existence of a
such fearful abuses.

A communication received from. _Rome mentions
that the amnesty originally grant(...el by his:Homass
has been extended to the eccles3astio And military

men who were not included in it as at first published.
LUCCA, AVERADI, and VIVARELLT, are the first
individuals pardoned and released under this mandate
of clemency. They Lave beer: ineorcerated in the
prison of Corneto ever since 1836.

By a letter quoted in the Augsburgh Gazette, it
would seem that some Austrian regiments (among
them the 4th Light Horse) quartered at Radkers-
burg, in Styria, have been ordered to march beyond
the frontiers of Italy.

The Madrid journals of the 13th inst. had not
reached Paris when our dispatches left.

We have received the Paris journals of Wednesday.
The Constitutionnel contains a long commentary
upon the circumstances and vicissitudes of the English
elections, directing attention to the remarkable facts
of the return of the Hon. CHARLES PELHAM VIL-
LIERS and Mr. COBDEN as the representative knights
of two important and populous counties. It concludes
by observing that England has declared itself empha-
tically for liberal principles, and that if any one of
the actual Ministers (such as Mr. MACAULAY) have
been anywhere rejected, it has only been from the
voters giving their suffrages to candidates of a more
daring liberality, but that in no part have they been
ousted by the Protectionists.

Speaking of the course of events in Rome, the
National observes that Pius IX. still continues to
dismiss the high functionaries who are presumed to
have been implicated in the recent conspiracies, and
that at last an open rupture has shown itself be-
tween his HOLINESS and the Jesuits. " They
have," it says, " according to custom, asked the
Holy Father to join them in celebrating the fete of
Saint IGNATIUS : this invitation he has refused.
What ! Saint IGNATIUS, the patron of VALENTINE
and MAILLARD, the first of the saints whose names
are inscribed upon the calendar of the Universe, has
received such an injury as this from Pius IX.!" Re-
ferring to a semi-official notice or contradiction, pub-
lished in the Moniteur Parisien, of the charge made
by the National against the Minister of War, relative
to an entry of 15,000 francs in the books of a bank-
rupt contractor of Algiers, the latter paper says—
"We do not know who has found the magical means
of unsealing the lips of General Trezel ; but, be it who
it may, the Minister has spoken. The Moniteur Parisien
says—' Neither the Minister nor the Governor-General
ad interim has any knowledge of the tact relative to the
sum of 15,000 francs.' But, as the course of explanation
bas been entered upon, may we be permitted to ask why
a delay of a fortnight was taken to reply to us ? It would
have been so easy to say on the 3d of August—' We do
not know what you are talking about.' But no—no-
thing was said until the 18th. Did M. Trezel require
the halt' of a month to know whether he had or had not
received a report ? An hour would have sufficed. What
was taking place in the interval ? The notice of yes-
terday evening had been prepared and submitted to the
Minister by the bureaux, but it was not published.
At a later period M. Trezel, overcome by the solici-
tations of his emplo3es, and not wishing to allow to
hang over their heads a suspicion of their probity, gave
his consent. What are we to conclude from all this?
Something very simple. Yes, it is possible that the bu-
reaux may have been ignorant of the report; we even
admit that M. Bedu, whose name is singularly enough
brought up in this affair, may be in the same position.
But is this ignorance on the part of the Minister, or any
one else, a serious one? We doubt it. If we are asked
why we doubt it we shall content ourselves with com-
paring the date of our question with that of the Minis-
terial answer, and, interrogating in our turn, we beg all
honest persons to tell us what degree of confidence is to
be placed in so tardy a denial, when nothing could have
been more simple than to have replied to us imme-
diately?"

The following protest of Cardinal CIACCIII against
certain obnoxious measures adopted by the Austrian
Governor of the fortress of Ferrara, is published in
the Journal des Daats:—

"Ferrara, Aug. 6.
"In consequence of an accident which occurred to
Captain Jankowich of the regiment of the Archduke
Francis Charles, and of the orders of his Excellency,
the Deputy-Marshal, Count Anesperg, commander in
the name of his Majesty the Emperor of Austria of the
citadel and the Imperial troops, Austrian patrols having
traversed the streets of the town, I proclaim such a fact
to be completely illegal, contrary to the stipulations of
the Treaty of Vienna, and to long existing usages.
" In my quality of representative of the Sovereignty
of the Holy See, as Apostolical Legato and Governor of
this city and province, wishing to preserve entire and
sacred the rights of the Holy See, I solemnly protest
against the illegality of the above mentioned fact, and
against any other fact of the same nature that may im-
pair those rights and the rights of the pontificial sub-
jects confidqd to my administration and guardianship.
" I record this protest in order to fulfil the chit.s of
my station, and for the sake of the representative autho-
rity delegated to me, waiting the sovereign resolutions
to which I have referred. The event which occurred to
Captain Jankowich is anything but proved, and, were it
proved, it would not justify the Austrian troops in tra-
versing, like masters, the entire town. As respects the
terms of the dispatch addressed to me on the subject
by his Excellency the Deputy Marshal, and which I Kill
communicate to my Government, I protest anew against
all acts calculated to infringe the rights of the aposto-
heal Holy See, which it is my determination at all times
to maintain and to cause to be respected.
(Signed)" LUIGI CIACCIII (Cardinal),
Signed with his Excellency—
Apostolical Legate.
" FLAMMINIO BOTTONI, lawyer (witness) j_
"FRANCESCO MARIA CARLETTI, Doctor of Law(witness);
"ELISEU MONTI, Doctor of Law (notary) ;
summoned to attest the above act."
This emphatic protest has, it would seem, been
formally communicated to the foreign Ministers at
the Eternal City by Cardinal FERRETTI.
Although there is much of a political character to
occupy public attention just now, the principal por-
tion of the interest of our Parisian Contemporaries
was absorbed on Wednesday in the horrible and
melancholy occurrence brought to light by the dawn
of that morning. We allude to the murder of the
Duchess DE PRASI.IN (daughter of Marshal SEBAS-
TIANI) in a bedchamber at her town residence.
Particulars of this deplorable event are published
elsewhere in our columns.
We transcribe with pleasure the subjoined obser-
vations from the National, upon the progress of poli-
tical opinions in England, as shown by the recent elec-
tions :—" The last English elections," says our Con-
temporary, " appear to us the first Parliamentary ex-
pression of the transformation which British society
has undergone. That expression is still confused,
obscure, and embarrassed. It becomes clear by the
events which preceded it, and will become still more
intelligible from what is to follow. One incontest-
able fact announces the consequences, which is the '
number and the quality of the Radicals who I
have been chosen. One Deputy only of that
opinion has fallen on the field of battle, that I
is Mr. ROEBUCK. That loss is largely com-
pensated ; and amongst those whose names
bear a marked signification for firmness, we shall
mention FEARGUS O'CONNOR, one of the Chartist
chiefs, Colonel THOMPSON, and the eloquent Mr. Fox,
whose oratory is in itself a host. It appears to us
important to signalize the bearing of the electcsral
movement in England, such, at least, as it app, mrs
to us. Nothing demonstrates more clearly the in-
clination of public opinion, and the current of fa ,cts,
than this example, borrowed by a country where
aristocratic principles are most strongly organi:o2d,
where their tradition is the most revered and their
power best acknowledged. Well, there likewise the
aristocracy yields—it sees its influence weak( stied
and its old authority rejected ; it recruits men, but
can find no ideas. Its servants abandon it ; the
chiefs which remain faithful adopt a language un-
known to its ancestors. Lord GEORGE BENT TNCK
himself has become tolerant, and Sir ROBERT . PEEL
leads the phalanx of the League. Can any pi rty
count upon the immovability of the ContinE tin
presence of what is being accomplished in Eng hind ?
And we may judge what the effect of a few pos. is will
be to arrest the progress of French ideas at home
whilst they are progressing through the rem aiinder
of the world ? Vanity of old men, who specul ate on
the fatigue and the pity of a nation !"

revive some of the circumstances of the death of M.

coincidence is striking, of the re-agitation of I;vi o de-

tunate MUNRO, and DUJARRIER by that of _BEAu-

The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday continued
dull, and prices were easier. Sales about 4,000 bales,
including 3,000 bales American, at 61d. to per lb,
There was a slight improvement in Railway Shares, but
with very little doing.
The accounts by the Royal Mail steamer have not been
very favourably construed.
The Jamaica papers and those from all the islands to
the north bear the BIM) character—all represent the
price of provisions as excessive, and the foreign supply
as'very deficient, whilst the season was nowhere affording
sufficient rain to enable the planter to make an effort to
raise those articles which would promptly come into
consumption. The sugar the produce of the canes, which
the peasantry had been induced to cultivate, was every-
where a complete drug, the universal scarcity of ship-
ping preventing the nerchants from purchasing at any
price, and the accounts of the home market having
paralyzed all speculation.
In Grenada the Cclonial Treasury was in a very ex-
hausted state, and there was great need of some early
means to raise the productiveness of the taxes.
The Coolies were in a miserable plight in most of the
colonies, and it seems probable that immigration from
India will cease. 'nese people are not at all calculated
for West Indian planting operations.
Shipping was very scarce in the West Indies, and a
quantity of produce was lying on the wharfs for ship-
ment. The planters complained also of the scarcity of

money.
There is no feature in the grain trade to-day, busi-
ness continuing dull.
The public securities have been flat, but rather from
paucity of business than from sales. Consols have

MARKET NEWS-(THISDAY.)

CORN
.EXCHAS7GE.-FRIDAY

A. Very' .M( rote slippy of English Wheat, chiefly
the present year's growth, has come to hand here this
week. Still, however, owing to the large importations
from abroad, and the low prices at which American flour
is selling, the demand was in a very sluggish state, at,
in some few instances, a slight decline in the quotations.
There was a very large quantity of Foreign Wheat on
offer. Selected qualities were mostly disposed of at full
prices, but all other kinds were is per quarter lower.
The Barley trade was in a very sluggish state. Foreign
grinding parcels were somewhat cheaper than on Mon-
day. In Malt next to nothing was doing, and large
parcels might have been purchased on easier terms. The
Oat trade was excessively dull, at a fall in value of is
Tier quarter. Beans, Peas, and Indian Corn, as well as
Flour, were a mere drug.

SMITHFIELD.
Our market to-day was very moderately supplied with
Beasts as to number, and exceedingly deficient as to
quality. On the whole, the Beef trade was in a very
inactive state, at but little, if any, alteration in prices.
There were on sale 329 Beasts, 2,570 Sheep and Lambs,
and 290 Calves from Holland and Germany, as also 120
Scots from Scotland. The supply of Sheep was by no
means good, while the Mutton trade was firm, at fully
Monday's currencies, and at which a good clearance was
effected. Prime Down Lambs moved off steadily;
otherwise the Lamb trade was heavy, at late rates.
Owing to the large supply of Calves, the Veal trade was
dull, and late figures were with difficulty supported. In
Pigs, next to nothing was doing. Mitch Cows were
heavy, at from 161 to 191 each, including their Small
Calf.
