THE SUN, LONIiON:MONDAV, JULY 12, 184 L.:

reduction of the cost of producing food, of which
he is, by himself and by his servants, a great con-.
sumer, than he will lose by the fall in the selling
price of that part of his produce which he carries
to market. We beg, then, to inform this really
very ignorant, but really very vivacious and
blustering Lord, that the fixed capital embarked
by the thriller in the soil will obtain its due re•
muneration after the abolition of the Corn-laws,
as well as at present.
Lord STANLEY goes on to assert, " as an un-
doubted fact, that as the price of corn falls the
land will go out of tillage." He had not studied
the Tamworth oration • with care when he said
that, because one of Sir R. PEEL'S arguments was
that cultivation was much extended, though the
price of corn has fallen. But on what ground
does Lord STANLEY make the assertion ? The
fact is that as the price of corn falls the farmer
whose liabilities remain the same, is induced to
extend his cultivation, to be able to meet them.
If, with the fall of price, manufactures extend,
and the demand for food increases, the farmer
extends his cultivation ; and we must again telt
Lord STANLEY that he utters the merest, most
ignorant, and common-place twaddle, with a
grave face,. as if it were divine truth collected
and sifted by the sages who have devoted
nights and days to political science.
On what ground Lord STANLEY, the Quarterly
Reviewer, and a host of other equally competent
persons, conclude that " whole districts," or
2,000,000 acres," will at once be thrown out
of- cultivation: by the abolition of the Corn-laws,
even if that were total and immediate, we can-
' not conceive. '-The authority generally referred
to by them, is a statement by some Lord RUSSELL
to the farmers of Bedfordshire. We have a great
respect for the name, but we were not aware that
his Lordship is a great authority in political eco- •
nomy, and we deny the assumption. The sup-
, position is, that a quarter of English-grown
corn will lie thrown out of the market fbr every I
quarter of foreign corn imported. But every
quarter of fbreign corn must be paid fur, and the
permission to import it, now so unjustly with-
held,
would of necessity set the manufacturers
at work to pay for it. It is probable they would,
in the first instance, produce too much, or set
too many hands to work ; but the permission to
import corn, would infallibly make them pro-
duce more manufactures than at present. Now,
the whole number of fresh hands they set to
work, would generate an additional demand for
food, over and above the present demand. As
this additional demand exceeded, as it might, the
quantity of corn imported, equalled it, or fell
short of it, more land might be cultivated
at home, no alteration might be made in
the extent of the cultivation, or some land
.might be thrown out of cultivation. We
beg leave to inform Lord STANLEY, who is really
most ignorant of what he is most assured, that
his assumption of whole districts to be thrown
out of cultivation, by lowering the cost of culti-
vating them, is as arrant nonsense as ever entered
the head even of an arrogant, self-willed Lord.
A few years ago Lord STANLEY harrassed the
poor tithe-payers of Ireland by sending flying ar-
tillery, or the waggon train, to carry off their
crops. The same Noble Lord had no repugnance
to coerce the whole Irish people to obedience to
his own arrogant opinions. And that same unre-
lenting Lord, in defence of the starvation law,
which he acknowledged puts money into his
pocket, had the impudence—we can give his un-
blushing assurance no other name—to say that
" free traders never take into account the cruelty
of breaking.through all the old habits, the hard-
ship of outraging all the long-cherished feelings
of the people." Cruelty indeed, to rescue the
landlords' serfs, and the landlords' tax gatherers,
from a degrading dependence ! But the free
traders do-not desire any such thing. They de-
sire justice, they demand that industry should
not be interfered with, and if from obtaining justice
• the evil consequences which Lord STANLEY sup-
poses would follow, the blame be on those who
like him commit the wrong, not on those who
seek.lts,redress. one.point Lord STANLEY'S
speech coincides marvellously with Sir RO-
BERT PEEL'S. Both labour to defend in-
justice, both bring forward all possible argu-
ments to support the Corn-laws, and both, there-
fore, convince us that the Tory Administration
is to be formed on the principle of combining all
the monopolists to rob and plunder the people
by means of-the law. When the Tories have
made the law an object of universal abhorrence,
how will they enforce obedience? That-is a very
important question, which they oughtto answer
before they take office on the principle of com-
bining to maintain a great system of legal
plunder.

The whole of the French Journals of Friday and Sa-
turday have reached us. They bring very little news of
any political importance. An old-womanish Tory Con-
temporary having hinted in the course of last week that
France was founding a second Lower Canada in Africa
for the future benefit of England, the Court organs have
all at once become as hostile to Sir ROBERT PEEL as they
were about a month ago to Lord PALMERSTON. To
nettle a Frenchman you have only to ridicule the ten
years' war in Africa ; and to put him beside himself,
you need but express a fear that France must yet
relinquish her African conquests. Parents are said to
love their ricketty offspring better than such as are
well favoured and healthy, on account of the trouble and
anxiety it costs them to rear them ; and something of
the same feeling is evin7ed by France towards Algeria,
the worth of which she estimates, nut by its intrinsic
value either as a military or connisereial station, but by
the blood and treasure which she has wasted in obtain-
ing possession of some hundreds of miles of arid desert,
which hitherto has only served her for a grave.
The following extract from the Proclamation of the
Comnattee of the Holy Land, in I'aris, in favour of the
Syrian Christians, will be read with some interest. It is
sinned by the Marquis de PASTORET, the Marquis de
DIEUX BREZE, Vicomte WALSH, M. do GENOUDE, and
several other distinguished French Royalists:—
" United by sentiments of faith and attachment to the
honour of our country, we have thought that it belonged to
France to give to the Christians of Palestine the first testi-
mony of a generous sympathy, worthy of those who suffer
and of those who succour, which offers relief in present
circumstances and insures the futures whose efforts may
be avowed, and which can encounter no obstacles, except in
calculations, in which no person will venture to take part
openly. We will endeavour to obtain, by prudent measures
and persevering representations, by relief and arms, the ame-
lioration of the condition of the Christians of Palestine and
Syria, the free possession of the religious edifices which be-
long to them, the complete guarantee of their existence' all
the liberty which is consistent with the situation of the East ;
in short, every thing which may demonstrate in these coun-
tries the influence of France, ever great, useful, and generous.
Christians, we come to the succour of Christians, we appeal to
all those horn they call brothers, to assist us in administering
this succour. Frenchmen, we call upon all who have shown
that they are proud of the name, and that they are sensible of
the obligations Which it imposes, to set forth the inheritance of
influence and glory which belong to France."
Whatever the Court organs may pretend to the' con-
trary, we know for certain that the .most exalted .per-
sonages in France sympathise deeply frith the Christian
population of the East. The Queen of the' FRENCH,
who is not restricted by political considerations, snakes
no secret of her earnest desire to improve the condition
of the Christians in every part of the Turkish empire.
On the subject of the new loan we find the following
paragraph in the Temps of Saturday :---
" Six principal receivers-general have determined upon
joining some Faris bankers, and forming a Company to tender
for a part of the now French loan. They have sent circulars
to all their colleagues, announcing their intention, inviting
them to join, and asking what shares they will take in their
Association. We are not yet acquainted with the effect pro-
duced by this step, which has been denied, but which has never-
thel•ss been confirmed to us by persons perfectiv well informed."
We have given, under a separate head, an account of
the recent riots at Toulouse. _ _ _

Several of the French holders of Spanish bonds have just
addreised to the Spanish Government, through the medium of
its Ambassador in Paris, a memorial complaining of the con.•
duct which has been adopted towards them, and soliciting, re-
dress. In it the following passages occur ;
" We respectfully solicit, through the medium of your
Exeellency, that the accumulated interest Of the active debt,
may be added to the capital, offering, if necessary,, to submit
to a reduction r f even one-fifth of the rate-of interest: fixed
for the capital ; but in waiting for the time when the finances
of Spain shall admit of the payment of the interest on thedebt,
as is ~one by other States, we earnestly solicit the adoption of
a measure which would have the effect of giving a real valite to
Spanish bonds. This measure would be, after having added
the accumulated interest to the capital, to al!ow the half-yearly
coupons of the interest to be received in payment for one-half
of the whole amount of any customs' duties payable to the Go-
vernment. Such.a measure

The storm which reached Paris on Sunday evening, fell
with equal violence about two in:the afternoon, lasting till five,
at Pont Audemer, Saint Simeon,' Selles, Tour Ville, and other
communes in the Eure, breaking up the roads by the torrents
it created, swelling the little river, the Sebeque, till it over-
flowed the meadows on its banks, destroying the whole of the
hay which happened to have been cut. Two spinning-mills
were very much damaged, their walls being shaken by the
force of the current, the machinery displaced, and great part
of the materials washed away.
The consumption of meat in Paris, during the last
month, amounted to 5,029 oxen, 1,738 cows, 5,5fi3 ealves, and
34,529 sheep, being a decrease of 741 oxen and 996 calve?,
and an increase of 410 cows and 693 sheep, as compared with
the consumption in June, 1840. During the first six months
of the present year the consumption has been 35,429 oxen,
10,765 cows, 32,455 calves, and 212,155 sheep, being a de-
crease, as compared with the same period last yeas, of 1,272
oxen, 3,911 calves, and an increase of 1,220 cows and 4,432
sheep.
The Rotten Journals state that the pastures of the Grand
Couronne have lately been invaded by a pack of wol7cs, wh)
have devoured five mares, anti torn in a dreadful manner seve-
ral more. A slumber of sheep have also been eaten up by
them. The Journals add that the storm on Sunday fell with
the greatest severity in the communes of the Grand and Petit
Couronne. The crops were seriously damaged by the hail,
which, at ten o'clock on Monday morning, was still lying on the
ground. The water in the ditches was covered with ice of great
thickness. At Caudebec-les-Elbeuf a ravine overflowed, and
caused great damage.
The Echo du Nord states the extraordinary fact that a
woman of the commune of Berlaimont, in that department,
ha; been twice delivered of twins within the last eight months
I and a half !

The Munich Gazette publishes a note from Professor
Gruithuisen, announcing that he had ascertained the exact
time in which the sun makes its rotation upon its own axis.
lie finds that the sideral rotation is made in 25 days, 14 hours,
54 minutes, and 5 seconds ; and its synodic rotation in 27 clays,
13 hours, 17 minutes, and 19 seconds.
A mason at work, a few days ago, at a house in the
Faubourg Saint Germain, found a quantity of money which
had eeen concealed in the wall. The owner of the house
being awoy from Paris, the honest fellow called in the Com-
missary of Police to take charge of the discovery. The Com-
missary having counted the money, which was in silver, and
gold coin, ascertained that it amounted to 25,000 fr., which he
sent to be deposited at the Prefecture of Police till the pro-
prietor of the house returned, who, we trust, will amply reward
the conscientious workman for his resistance to so great a
temptation. . . .

Two evenings ago, a young woman, employed in a manu-
factory of fulminating cupsules, on the Plaine des Vertus, near
the St. Denis Road, having finished a quantity of capsules and
placed them in a box, was putting a mould into it, when,
through some inadvertence, she cause a friction, which exploded
the whole of the capsules. A fragment of the box was driven
against her breast, and wounded her so violently, that she died
almost instantaneously. Other fragments struck another
woman at some distance, and injured her in several places so
severely that it became necessary to carry her to the hospital
of Saint Louis, where, however, she is likely to be saved.
ROBBERIES AT THE TUILLERIES.—For some time past the
officers of the Palace have reputedly missed portions of gold
fringe, the covers of chairs, and even valuable curtains, and
other articles of price, from different ap trtments. All endea-
vours to detect the thief were ineffectual, until two days ago,
when, through measures taken under the personal direction of
Baron Athalin, Governor of the Palace, a man employed in
attending the fires was caught in the act of concealing under
his clothes a silver gilt candlestick. Being brought before a
Commissary of Police, he at once confessed that he had taken
all that was missing, and gave the names of three receivers, to
whom he had sold the articles for trifling sums. The abodes
of these men were immediately searched, and such large quan-
tities of stolen goods found in their possession, that it re-
quired a full• sized cart to bring them away. The thief and
receivers are all committed for trial.

M. Boitens, a medical student, died two days ago, after a
week of intense suffering, from the result of a slight wound. in-
flicted by his knife, whilst dissecting a body. Three days after
the accident the arm, the hand of which he had cut, and into
which some of the virus of the dead body had been received,
became dreadfully inflarnrd, and the disease soon made such
progress as to baffle every attempt to relieve the sufferer.
M. Delaroche, responsible editor of the National, sen-
tenced, on March 8, to pay a fine of 10,000 f., and to be im-
prisoned for a month, surrendered himself on 'I hursdoy, to
undergo the last part of the judgment; but, as he is still in a
weak state of health, the Prefect of Police has granted him
permission to pass the term of his imprisonment in a liaison
de Sante, at l,ha►llot.

THE EARTHQUAKE.—The shocks of earthquake felt at
Paris, on Sunday night, were perceived with greater force in
the centre of France. At Nevers, Bourges, Pontlevoy, San..
cerre, Tours, and the surrounding districts, the shocks were felt
with much force, just at the came time as in Paris, half-past
twelve, and again in some localities at a little before four. The
same storm that fell over the capital visited a considerable part
of France. A rumbling noise is said to have been heard in
most spots, attending the oscillations of the ground. At Or-
leans, on the same evening, about eight o'clock, a violent
whirlwind passed over the town, and the evening was dark and
stormy until midnight, when the-horizon began to clear up,
with occasional lightning._ At this time there was
not the slightest wind. At a quarter before one on Monday
morning, three. shocks of an- earthquake roused the in-
habitants from their sleep, and occasioned great alarm.
They Lsucceeded each other at intervals, of from 30
to thirty-five seconds. The first, which was the most violent,
had the effect of a violent motion from cast to west ; the two
others wete from north "to south. The third in particular
lasted a pretty long time, and many persons who were I)ing
in their beds, placed in the direction of east to west, felt them
move five or six, times. Those, on the contrary, whose beds
were placed in the direction north te south, felt their heads and
feet rise and fall with great rapidity. This last shock had a
noise like that of a heavily laden carriage passing over pave-
ment et a distance. A short time afterwards a violent wind
arose, and was followed by torrents of rain. At three in the
morning the storm was over, but another shock of earthquake
was experienced. This was in the direction of north to south,
but was less violent. The shocks were felt in all the com-
munes near Orleans, but with the exception of the derange-
ment of small articles of furniture, and some slight cracking,
no evidence remained of them. It is a remarkable fact that
all the insane patients of the Asylum at Orleans passed the
night in a state of extreme agitation and irritation.
A correspondent at Boulogne writes, that there was so
strong a-gale of wind in the channel, on Wednesday night,
that the Magnet steamer, which ought to have arrived that
evening, did not enter the harbour till half-past twelve yester-
day. While a coachman was waiting to convey the passengers
up the town, he perceived a fire breaking out in the apartment
of Lieutenant Andrieu, of the Customs, in the third floor of a
house at the corner of the Rue Pied Gallard. This was be-
tween one and two in the morning. By his promptitude in
calling up the Mayor and other authorities the firemen were
almost immediately on the spot, and saved the town from a dis-
aster which would otherwise have been extensive, on account of
the force of the wind. As it was, the flames destroyed the
upper parts of three houses adjoining before they could be sub-
dued. The accident is said to have been occasioned by a fe-
male servant suffering her candle to catch her bed-clothes.
Fortunately, there is no loss of lives to deplore, though the de-
struction of property is considerab'e.
BELGIAN CoeterEacE —lt appears, by an account of the
return of the movement of the Belgian ports for 1840, that the
number of vessels which entered Antwerp in that sear was
1,173, measuring 180,63'2 tons, and the number which left the
port 1,151, measuring 163,306 tons. The imports by sea into
Antwerp amounted to 120,902,770 fr., being neatly twenty-
three millions more than in 1839. The general movement of
arrivals and departure-s at Ostend was 753 vessels, measuring
76,015 tons; Ghent, 285 vessels, giving a total of 27,486 tons;
Louvain, 132 vessels, 9,576 tons ; Mieuport, 204 vessels, 5,994
tons. The general result of the five ports was 3,591 vessels,
measuring 463,069 tons, being 61 vessels and 49,429 tons less
than in 1839. The imports by sea into Ostend amounted to
9,338,557 fr. ; Nieuport, 3,904,141 fr. ; Louvain, 472,300 fr. ;
Ciheut, 20,294,777 fr. The total amount of the imports, for
the five ports, was 155,472,605 fr. The imports of cotton
amounted to 13,019,900 fr. (7,794,740 fr. more than in 1839).
Of this amount 10,955,540 fr. was from the United States,
1,957,000 fr. from England, and 263,360 fr. from France. The
total amount of the imports from France was 6,972,230 fr. less
than in 1839, but on wines there was an increase of 1,493,360 fr.
A correspondent of the Augsburgh Gazette writes from
Belgrade on the 27th ult.:—" Hafiz, Pacha of Erzeroum, and
Khosrew Paella have lately attended sittings of the Divan, and
had conferences with the Ministers on the subject of a reor-
ganization of the army. The cessation of the exile of Khosrcw
Pacha is attributed to the intervention of the Russian Ambas-
sador. This, if true, proves the increasing influence of the
Cabinet of St. Petersburgh over.that of Constantinople, which
will be the more confirmed should Khosrew be again admitted
to participate in the management of. state affairs. The revolt
in Candle is considered by the Sultan,to have been the work of
France, whose enemies give this interpretation to the mission
of M. Piscatory into Greece. These. circumstances have in •
the discredit into which France had previously fallen with the
Divan." - .
A Correspondent at Athens, writes to the Univers, on.
the 20th ult., that it was in consequence of the King of
Greece refusing to accede to part of M. Mavrocordato's pro-
gramme, that skis statesman refused to accept office. At one
time it was thought his Majesty would have accepted the whole
programme, but it is understood that an objection raised to the
dismissal of the Council of Referendaries, which is principally
composed of Bavarian Councillors, which was strongly de-
manded by M. Mavrocordato, led to the breaking off of nego-
tiations. Another letter, in the Temps, says that several
German volunteers have gone to join the insurgents in Caridia,
and that a reinforcement of from 460 to 500 Mainotes had
reached the island.

The Augsburgh Gazette says, " The late victory of the
Russian troops in Gaghesttn, whereby they gained the village
of Tscherkef, cost them many live's, as the mountaineers made
a most obstinate resistance, and their assailants only won the
day by repeatedly bringing up fresh reinforcements.'
The P/tare des Pyrenees, of the 7th, has the following ar-
ticle consequence of the fresh instructions addressed to
the Prefect of the Department, by the Minister of the Interior,
a pretty considerable number, of priests and Carlist refugees
have just received orders to quit the Arrondissement of
Bayonne, and to move to a distance from the frontier. Mon.
signori Adriana, Bishop of Painpeluna, and M. de Arellano,
Vice-Nuncio of the Pope, at Madrid, who has resided at
Bayonne for some months, have received passports for the in-
terior of the kingdom.
" According to letters from Madrid of the 3d, in the even-
ing, the two Spanish Chambers were to meet on the sth or
6th, in order to appoint a Guardian to the Queen. It was
erterally thought that Signor Arguelles was to be chosen fOr
that office. M. liaradero the French Co:isul-General at
Monte Video, has just arrived ,at javre, en hoard the Louisa.:
Maria ; during his absence, M. Arsine Isabella will exercise
the functions of Consul."

We find the following article in the La-usanne Gazette of
the Gth of July :
" The King of Sardinia, taking advantage of the remissness
of France in extending. its commercial relati oas with French
Switzerland, is preparing to deprive it of the greater.part of
the advantages of the transit trade between the Mediterranean
and Geneva, by having an iron railway made in: the territory of
Savoy, by which goods will be conveyed speedily and cheaply
from the neighbourhood of Lyons to Geneva, ,And vice versa.

SOUTH LINCOLNSHIRE.

The triumphant return of Lord Worsley
North Lincolnshire, far a-head of the Tories,
has given a fresh impetus to the already unpa-
ralleled burst of spontaneous feeling-in favour of
Mr. Handley, in the south of that great agricul-
tural county. From all parts the returns on SaT
turday were most cheering, and little doubt re-
mains of a glorious triumph over the faction
who wish to ride roughshod over the country in
both sections of this comity. We hope every
voter who resides in London, or within reach of
his polling-place, and has not yet gone to record
his vote, will do so instantly. The poll opens
this (Monday) morning, and will close to-morrow
(Tuesday) afternoon at four.
Not a vote should be lest.

TL:e. Lisbon mail has arrived, brought by the Braganca
steamer: she sailed from:Gibraltar July 1 ; Cadiz, July 2;
Lisbon, July 5.; Oporto, July 6 ; and Vigo, July 7. Letters
have been received by the above packet, of the sth July, from
Lisbon, stating that the Committee, to whoie consideration
the projects of the Finance Commission was referred, has not
as yet presented their report, and the Cortes having, during the
past week, been occupied with subjects of domestic interest,
it appears that. the Government have given great umbrage to
