THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, JULY 22141841.

In all substantials we are very generally clothed
alike.

The general tendency of society, illustrated
by so many facts, and traced in countries so far
apart, may surely be called, if any body br
general facts may, a law of nature. 13 u t this law
of naturz.. Sir R. PEEL and Lord STANLEY, by the
help of a few parsons and. landlords, are to set
aside. They have a majority of the House of
Commons pledged to that undertaking. They
take office on the principle of preventing the
equal diffusion of wealth, science, and art.
They take office to maintain existing mono-
polies, and, maintaining them, they must
restore monopolies which have ceased to
be. They take office to war not only against ho-
nesty and justice—not only against industry,
for thesake of idleness, but to war against the pro-
gress of the human race and the equal diffusion of
the blessings of civilization. They take office,
moreover, to war against the course of nature, and.
the ordinances of GOD. If they could be suc-
cessful, which happily they cannot, they would
only degrade England, now the queen and
leader of nations, into the last and meanest of
the whole family of mankind.

There is no denying the fact, that the Repeal-agitation
is rapidly gaining ground in Ireland. Were we dis-
posed to regard the cry of repeal as confined to a hand-
ful of the blind followers of Mr. O'CoNNELI„ the
grand entertainment given •on Tuesday last by the
City and. County of Cork to Mr. O'Coxisma, as the chief
°Me Repeal Association, wouldlmpress us with a very
different conviction: 'rho near approach of the return
of the Tories to power fills Ireland with apprehension
and alarm ; and in the southern capital of the kingdom it
is now diffioult'for any man to obtain a hearing who does
not znito with the populace in demanding a Repeal of
the 'Legislative Union. In support of this assertion, we
refer our readers to a report of the proceedings at the
great Repeal Festival at Cork, which will be found in
another part of The Sun. Having always conscientiously
advocated the political and legislative union of the two
countries, in opposition to Mr. O'CONNELL, it is not
without anxiety that we see, among other evils, in
the restoration of the Tories to office an irresis-
tible impulse given to the only mischievous mea-
sure et on foot by the great Agitator. If the Repeal
agitation ever find an echo out of Ireland, it will be in
consequence of Tory oppression—if Repeal ever be car-
ried, it will be by a Tory Government acting under Irish
coercion,

The news contained in the French journals of Tues-
day was anticipated in our afternoon edition of yester-
day. 'We have therefore only to select the following
paragraphs from them :-
- A telegraphic despatch received at Nantes on the 15th,
directs Si. Dellarald, principal Commissioner of Police at
Nantes, to repair to Toulouse, there to exercise provisionally
the functions of Special Commissioner. The despatch added
that he would find at Toulouse M. Maurice Duval, the Extra •
ordinary Commissioner of the Government. M. Dellara'Ale
set out post, on the 16th, in the tnornieg.
A young performer of the Theatre de la Porte Saint
Martin, had had his name entered at the church of the Blanc
Manteaux, to be married in the course of the month. When
he returned to fix the day for performing the ceremony, the
Vicar in person appeared to tell him that he could not marry
an actor, and that there was an express prohibition by the
Archbishop of Paris.— Le Constitutionnel.
The Datiao frigate, Captain 011isier, sailed on the 14th
from Brest, for Cronstadt, where it will take on board Baron
Barante, Ambassador of France at the Court of St. Peters-
burgh, when Mr. Casimir Perier will succeed him as charge
d'affaires.—L'Armoricain.
We remark in the Memorial Bordelais of the 18th a
telegraphic despatch from Toulouse of the 16th, addressed by
Bother to the Prefect of the Gironde, which concludes
with the following lines. " The spirit of the troops is excel-
lent; the insult offered to the person of the King, in the per-
son of his representative, will not remain unpunished, the
power of the law and the Government will prevail. An exam-
ple will be made."—Le Commerce.
The Gazette de Lausanne mentions a horrible tragedy
which has just place at Villeneuve. An inhabitant of St.
Clerges had long sought the hand of lladlle. Champel, daughter
of one of the late governors of the Castle of Chillon, but his
offers of marriage had been obstinately rejected by her family,
as beneath them. He was heir to an urcle who had property,
and he wished to get from him a cession of part of in, in order
that he might have a better chance of success in his suit. On
the 6th inst. he went to his uncle's residence ; his demand of
cession was refused, and a discussion ensued, at the end of
which he drew forth a pistol, shot his aunt, who was sitting
near his uncle, dead on the spot, and then discharged another
pistol at the latter, but the ball only grazed his forehead.
Thereupon he fled, and went to Clarens, where he breakfasted
in an ion, without any apparent signs of emotion. He then
went to Villeneuve, and prowled for a long time round the
house where Madlle. Champel lived. At last he met her out
of doors, and took her to the entry of a path leading through
some gardens to the lake. Here a conversation ensued, the
nature of which is not known, but just as the young lady was
leaving him to enter her house, he shot her dead with a
pistol, and the next minute blew out his own brains. There
were found upon him two other pistols loaded, a poniard; and
a sword-stick.

florin is equal to two francs and a half.
From among the 7,000 ancient pieces of coin, found at
Cuerdale, in Lancashire, last year, none of which are of later
date than 910, and of which nearly 3,000 were of the Anglo-
Saxon era, a portion have been sent over to Paris by order of
her Majesty, in pursuance of the following letter addressed to
Mr. E. Hawkins, keeper of Antiquities inthe British Museum :
" Sir,—l am directed by Lord Clarendon to inform you
that, struck with the idea that some specimens of the ancient
coins which were found last year at Cuerdale, in Lancashire,
might be a suitable addition to the collection in the Royal
Library at Paris, his Lordship is happy at having obtained
from the Queen, to whom they belong in right, as Treasure
trove, in her quality of Duchess and Countess of Lan-
caster, permission to reserve a selection for the above-
mentioned purpose. A list of these coins, with the coins
themselves, accompanies this, and Lord Clarendon desires me
to express to you the great satisfaction he will have in seeing
that you accept becoming the intermediary for transmitting
these objects to the Royal Library at am, &c.--
FR. DAWES Daszveas."—ln consequence of the above com-
munication 195 pieces of silver coin have been sent to Paris.
Among them are 2 of Charlemagne, 1 of Louis-le-Debonnaire,
with the surname of Pius, 9 of Charles-the-Bold, struck in dif-
ferent towns, with others of Louis 11., Carloman, Eudes,
Charles-the-Simple, Beranger, and Lambert. Among those
of the Anglo-Saxons are 7 of Alfred-the-Great, 6 of Saint Ed-
mund, and 40 various pieces without any names of kings, seve-
ral of which are curious imitations of the French Carlovingian
coin. They are all in fine preservation, and several were pre-
viously unknown.
The Memorial of Rouen announces that M. L. C., depo-
sitary of cotton thread, in that town, has absconded, carrying
away 350,000 fr., entrusted to him by several capitalists of
that town.

On the 13th instant, at a letter from Calais states, twelve
English fishing•smacks came and dredged the French oyster.
beds on that coast, anki afterwards sailed with their cargoes for
England. Next day the Pluvier Guarda Costa entered Calais
harbour, and remained for the day ; but soon after she had
taken her departure fifteen English smacks came again and
dredged the beds.
Captain Freissauf, of the Austrian service, has invented
an apparatus applicable to loconeotive engines on railroads, by
means of which the conductor can instantaneously detach an
engine from the waggons it is drawing. The apparatus is also
so contrived that, if the engine should get off the rails, the
disjunction would be thereby effected of itself, without the in-
tervention of the conductor.

AL Theirs will not honour Germany with a visit
this year. The ex-Premier is angry because some of
the German Courts signified their intention only to re-
ceive him as a private person. Were M. Thiers re-
ceived according to his deserts, it would not be either as
an ex-Minister or as an individual, but as a political in-
cendiary.

Our Correspondent at Carlsruhe writes us the fol-
lowing letter dated the 14th of July :—" This evening the
office of the Gazette of I.7pper Germany was suddenly
surrounded by officers, and the armed force entered
the printing office just as the journal was going to press,
A Commissary of Police who, fearing that the workmen
would resist, had caused himself to be escorted in this
manner, made the most minute search, took possession
of the proofs, and, in general, conducted himself as if ho
imagined that a revolution in duodecimo was concealed
in the peaceful atelier. A privy councillor. M. Gziegler,
who is the censor of the journal, commanded the expedi-
dition. Nobody can account for this strange visit, which has
put the whole town in confusion. People talk of a Rus-
sian affront, or a Prussian requisition, of the•discovery of
a conspirficy, &c.

His Grace the Duke of Beaufort, accompanied by
his family and a numerous suite, arrived at Brussels, on
the 18th inst., on his way to Hanover.
The third Musical Festival of Northern Germany
takes place this week at Hamburgh. Beethoven, Hands 1,
and Weber are to unite their harmonies. The orchestra
will consist of five hundred musicians.
We have one clay's later intelligence from the
United States. The news, which is not important, will
be found in another column. Twenty-four hours is,
however, too short a period for even Brother Jonathan
to go far a head.

The French Journals of Tuesday are all occupied
with the riots at Toulouse. They therefore supply
nothing in the way of news or opinion with which our
readers are not already acquainted.
The Debuts of Wednesday states that two great
political alliances will henceforth divide Europe—France,
Austria, and Prussia on the one side, and England and
Russia on the other. This division, we suspect, is some-
what apocryphal. Or has Lord Aberdeen been antici-
pating his Tory policy at the Foreign-office ?
The Porte has ordered the Turks of Belgrade to
be disarmed, in consequence of their cruel treatment of
the Christians.

On Monday, the 12th, a meeting of the inhabitants
of Rotherham was convened for the purpose of condoling
with the relatives of the sufferers in the late awful acci-
dent. Lord Howard forwarded his name to the subscrip-
tion list for 10/.

The public road between the end of Oxford-street
and Bayswater is universally complained of. This road.
as all the world knows, is bounded on one side by Hyde
Park and Kensington Gardens, and on the other by
splendid mansions, paying rents from 5001. to 700/. a
year ; and yet this patrician, this royal road of all the
roads leading out of the metropolis, is the only one which
after nightfall is left in utter darkness. The moment you
leave Oxford-street it is all " pitch-dark."
At the meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society,
held at. Liverpool on "Wednesday, it was evidently in-
tended to exclude reporters, to favour, it was said, an
Agricultural Magazine, one of the sleeping proprietors
of which happened to be a Member of the Council ; but
the attempt was overruled, and one reporter from each
Paper admitted. The grand dinner was fixed for this
day, and for the convenience of the numerous visitors a
pavilion has been erected capable of holding 3,000 persons.

party by their conduct at the opening of Parliament iii
1835, prevailed on the House to establish the principle
that the politics of the Speaker shonld harmonise with
the politics of the majority of the House, and indeed it
was in conformity with that principle, that Mr: Lefevre
himself Was chased: Ilpon this Account, therefore, the
donseivative party, gays the Fists shttuici he against his
re-election.

The Herald takes a rational view of the choice of
Speaker. It abhors any propositions of party in relation
to any gentleman who has filled the chair with dignity
honour, and impartiality, and is convinced that Mr. Shaw
Lefevre has earned the respect of al. parties.
The independent electors, of Scotland and Ireland
are now attacked daily in the most ferocious language by
the great organ of the Tories. No epithet is too strong
for that unprincipled Journal. The Irish are ferocioUs,
fanatical, and ictoxicated barbarians : and the constitu-
ency of Hawick, consisting of the most independent and
Liberal electors in Scotland, are described as " Old Slit-
rig savages." Had they sold themselves to the Tories,
like most of the old freemen in English boroughs, they
would have been disgraced by the praise of the Times.

The Worcestershire Chronicle observes that the
Tories are wise in laying on oppression. The Tories can
calculate pretty exactly the extent of,oppression to which
John Bull can submit ; they know how far they can just
load him without inflaming him to kick off his burdvn,
and turn upon his drivers, and they will hardly pass that
line.

With regard to the stumbling-blocks in the way of
Ireland's quietude and desire for justice, says the Dublin
Evening Post, "the priests are terrible men, and ohould
be suppressed if possible. But how are you to go about
it ? The only effectual way would be to murder the
priests. But, then, there is some difficulty here. You
must have at the very least, 200,000 men in Ireland
before you can commence operations, and these would
cost money. Besides, remember, that more than one-
half of hor Majesty's troops are Irish Papists, and chances
are that three-fourths of any new levies would be Irish
Papists also." These are mere hints, saith the Post.
The Cheltenham Examiner thus pointedly speaks,
alluding to the Tory majority :—" It is said to be a ma-
jority of eighty ; but a majority of eighty for what ?
Not for Stanleyism towards Ireland ; not for Church
Extension in England ; not even for opposition to Ballot
and Franchise Reform—but a majority of eighty only
for that question on which the Liberal party always have
been confessedly the weakest, and invariably hitherto, in
a minority, viz. the Corn-laws. Last year out of 477
Members who voted on Mr. Villiers' motion, the To) y
majority was no less than 123. But did it follow that
therefore the same majority existed against all Liberal
measures ? Manifestly not."
The Times, generously remarks the Ayr Observer
(a Tory organ), in commenting on the state of the elec-
tions, chooses to be somewhat gross and unjust in re-
ference to the Scottish returns. We would have wished
that the re-action had been greater ; but we cannot join
in attributing the Liberalism of the " inferior portion of
the middle classes"—as .the Times asserts—either to
" vulgar pride and conceit," or to a vain-glorious desire
of being "a century in advance of all England and lre-
Ind in point of leeterature and leeberality." Such a
truly vulgar gibe is not only unworthy Of the " Leading
Journal," but essentially wrong. •
