THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1841.

--"--e:

credit a Correspondent who informs us that they
are concocting this scheme in common. The Mi-
nistry embraced it with great delight, as a means
of neutralizing many a staunch Whig in the City,
and of diverting public attention from the pre-
vailing distress. To have the fingering of
20,000,000 i., extracted by hook or by crook from
the pockets of the public, would be a prodigious
pleasure to all the underlings of office, and
all the jobbers of the City; and, when they can
hide their rapacity under the ivask of pa-
triotism, they will unhesitatingly sacrifice the
people to their own purposes. We have,
however, now got a powerful auxiliary
in warning them that mischief is intended, and
that those whose duty it is to provide for their
security and happiness at home, contemplate
transporting them in order to stifle their com-
plaints. Emigration, we must again remind our
readers, of itself may be a good thing, but
emigration as a remedy for distress, caused by
Corn and similar laws, will add to the existing
injustice, and aggravate the existing evil.

The public lately saw with pleasure two new
Equity Judges appointed, and praised the en-
deavours of the Legislature to procure for the
people a speedy settlement of their disputes.
We always characterised the scheme as a mere
bait by which solicitors and barristers would
catch more causes, by a promise, no more to be
fulfilled hereafter than heretofore, of quickly
deciding them. Those gentlemen can file bills
merely to take advantage of the delay, and in-
stitute suits never intended to be prosecuted, but
to be suspended in terrorem. The evil is not
caused by any want of Judges, but by the two
large bodies of men in whose hands exclusively
the whole business is placed—who claim it by a
sort of Divine right, having an overwhelming
pecuniary interest in hanging up causes as
long as possible. Whether conscious of it or
not, they are biassed in favour of delay,
and delay they produce. That barristers
and solicitors protract suits by their negligence,
was shown by none of them being in Court on
Thursday, the last day of term, so that the Court
felt itself insulted, and declared the term at an
end, while there was still business to be done and
time to do it. If a surgeon causes damage to
his patients by his want of skill or attention, the
lawyers will punish him; and they ought, by the
same rule, to be punished for the damage they
may cause their clients by their negligence.
Some council of discipline, or some special
Court, should be instituted to punish, by heavy
fines, those solicitors and barristers who neglect
the interest of their clients; and unless that be
done—unless it be made their interest to bring
causes to a quick settlement, the multiplication
of Jullges and Courts will only multiply litigation,
and prevent justice being done to litigants.

The news brought by the Levant mail from
the Turkish capital is highly important, and de-
mands the utmost degree of vigilance on the
part of the British Government. It is clear
that King OTHO, secretly instigated by France
and by the agents of Russia, has manifested
such a determination to seize Thessaly that the
Porte has considered it necessary to order a large
military force to the frontier, and to direct a fleet
of five sail of the line to pass the Straits of the
Dardanelles. Diplomatic notes have been ad-
dressed by the Divan to the Great Powers, corn
plaining of the bad faith of the Greek Go-
vernment, and representing the necessity the
Porte is under of declaring war against Greece,
unless she adopt a more honest policy.
Lord ABERDEEN has admitted the justice
of the complaint of the Turkish Cabinet, which
may perhaps have the effect of checking the
warlike impetuosity of that reigning parody
upon royalty, King OTHO. The objects of
France in stirring up a quarrel between Greece
and Turkey are, firstly, to destroy British in-
fluence at Constantinople; and, secondly,
to find some pretext for adding Tunis to her
conquests on the coast of Africa. We repeat,
then, that the utmost vigilance of our Govern-
ment will be required to prevent a war most
disastrous to' the inhabitants of Turkey and
Greece.

The Paris Journals received this morning de-
vote their leading columns to comments upon the
trial of M. LEDRU, the Deputy, for a libel upon
the Government,wan interesting report of which
will be found in another part of The Sun. The
libel was contained in a speech made at a meeting
of his constituents. The Jury acquitted him of
the delivery of the speech, but found him
guilty of authorising its publication, for which
very questionable offence the Court sentenced
him to three months' imprisonment and a fine of
3,000 francs (1201.), and the publisher of the
speech to two months' imprisonment and a fine
of 2,000 francs (801.) The Liberal press is indig-
nant with the Government for proscuting a De-
puty for faithfully discharging his duty towards
his constituents.

Yesterday, Messrs. Guizot, Duchatel, and Martin du
Nord, remained in conference at the Tuileries in the
King's cabinet from twelve to two o'clock. At two
o'clock M. Mole succeeded the two Ministers. At three
o'clock the conference was not over.

Yesterday was the thirty-second anniversary of the
marriage of King Louis Philippe at Palermo, to Queen
Amelia.

Workmen began yesterday to get ready the jail of the
Luxemburg, where Quenisset And the other prisoners are
to be confined.

A journal says, that a great number of workmen in
metal have left their work, and that the police yesterday
arrested several who excited their comrades to join in a
combination.
Messrs. Antic, Gase, and.Roaldes, left Toulon on the
21st for Pau, where they are to appear before the Cor-
rectional Tribunal. They were accompanied by their
counsel, M. Joly, Member of the Chamber of Deputies.
It is affirmed that the Prefect of the Loiret gave a
grand dinner on Sunday last to O'Donnell and the other
Christian Generals who are now at Orleans.—[Will the
Government dismiss this meddling sympathiser ?—ED.
Sun.]
The Diario de Roma of the 16th of November an-
nounces the arrival of Prince Ypsilanti and his family
at Rome.— Constitutionnel.

A letter from Toulon of the 20th November says :
" We have now to announee that there is no intention
whatever of diminishing the effective force of our army
in Africa. The troops that are going to return to
France will be fully replaced by others, for orders have
just been received at Toulon to make every necessary
preparation for the conveyance of about 20,000 men,
before the month of March."
We mention after the Gazette des Tribunaux the
seizure of two smallcannon, said to have been discovered
on Monday last, on the landing of the goods from the
Industriel steamer. It seems that this discovery was
made as far back as the 18th of this month, and that
there was nothing mysterious in the matter, the cannon
being directed to one of our great manufacturers, whom
nobody certainly will take for the head of an emeute.
However, the inspector thought it his duty to have them
deposited iu his warehouse. He made a report to the
Prefect of Police, and on Monday the cannon were
taken to the Prefecture by order of M. Delessert, who
will probably have them delivered to their owner. This
plain statement will put an end to all the conjectures
formed on the first discovery of these harmless arms.—

The trial of M. Delaroche, the responsible editor of
the National, on a charge of having, on the 18th of Sep-
tember last, inserted an article tending to excite hatred
and contempt of the Government, took place yesterday
before the Court of Assize. The Procureur-General, M.
Hebert, addressed the Court at some length, and read
the incriminated article, observing, that to call the Go-
vernment a faction, and say it was placed between shame
and anarchy, and was only a body in a state of dissolu-
tion and ought to be rejected with contempt, as
the
Na-
tional had done, was an attack calculated to bring it into
discredit, and an aggression not less dangerous than
armed violence. M. Jules Favre, the counsel for the
National, denied that his client had offended against the
law, and disclaimed in his name all participation in the
doctrines which had excited the late emcutes. Hein-
formed the Jury that if the National were on this occa-
sion to be condemned it would be liable, having already
been once condemned, to be suspended by a decree of
the Court. The Procureur-General having made a sign
in the negative, M. Favre thanked him in the name of
the press, and his own dignity for declining to avail him-
self of such a power, which M. Favre said was contrary
to the spirit of the age. He then complained that the
National had bran taken by surprise, and was unprepared
forits defence ; but he was here called to order by the
President, who said the fact was not true. The Procu-
reur-General having replied, the Jury retired, and, after
a deliberation of twenty minutes, returned with a ver-
dict of acquittal.
The Tribunal de 'Premiere Instance was again en-
gaged yesterday with the affair of the property of the

secured to the Baron after the death of the Baroness, in
case he should survive her, by their marriage contract,
which grant the Baron assigned to the Hospices of Paris
and Nimes, and the sufferers from the inundations in

the Garde and Ardeche, of which departments he had
the military command. The demand of nullity is founded
on the ingratitude of the Baron, in having procured the
judgment of divorce from bed and board in 1824. Before
pleading to the declaration, the Baron moved that Mr.
and Miss Dawes, being foreigners, should lodge a suffi-
cient sum as caution money, to answer any costs they
might be adjudged to pay on failure of their suit. The
Court granted the Baron's motion, and ordered Mr. and
Miss Dawes to make a deposit of 10,000 f.
Upon an application from M. Hebert, the Procureur-
General, the Tribunal of Commerce at Versailles has
issued a rule of Court, declaring that hi future every
person who becomes a bankrupt shall be committed pro-
visionally to the town prison. This severe measure has
been induced by the alarming increase in the number of
failures, which for many years did not exceed three or
four per annum, but which within the present year has
amounted to fifty. This new rule has been already acted
upon in one instance. _ _

The grand concert given by the Duke and Duchess of
Orleans yesterday evening was very brilliant. The King
and Queen dined with their Royal Highnesses, and en-
tered the saloons with them. Selections from operas of
Gluck, Lully, and Rameau were performed, and the cho-
ruses were selected from the singers of the French and
Italian operas. Among the numerous and distinguished,
guests, French and Foreign, were Queen Christina, his
Excellency the British Ambassador and Lady Cowley,
the Neapolitan Ambassador and his Lady, the Papal In-
ternuncio,: Marshal: Soult, and the Duchess de Dalmatie,
the Ministers, Marshals Molitor and Sebastiani, Count
and Countess Montalivet, Duke and Duchess Decazes,
Count and Countess Toreno. Duke and Duchess de Massa,
Marquis and Marquise de Gabriac, and Count and
Countess Darriule. It was the anniversary of the mar-
riage }of the King and Queen, which was solemnised at
Palermo thirty-two years ago, and was chosen by the
Prince and Princess for their first grand entertainment
of the season.

Marshal Soult, yesterday, visited the baking-establish-
ment for the army, on the Quai de Billy, which he in-
spected in all its details. 40,000 rations of bread are
there made every day, and the magazines contain three
months' provisions for a force of 40,000 men. A mill
worked by steam-power is constantly at work, which is
capable of producing 140,000 metrical quintals of flour
per year; During his visit, Marshal Soult ordered seve-
ral important ameliorations to be made in the establish-
ment.

The Bordeaux papers state that the crowd at the en-
trance of the Theatre des Varietes in that city was so
dense, a few nights since, when the Grace de Dieu was
to be performed, that a young man was suffocated in the
throng.
There was so heavy a fall of snow, a few days ago, at
Belfort, that the Municipality was compelled to invite
the inhabitants to co-operate in placing it in heaps in the
streets, in order that it might be carted away.
A letter from Troyes, of the 22d inst., states that a
man named Pottejoie was to have been executed there
that day, and an immense crowd had assembled to wit-
ness the execution, but, it being discovered that the
guillotine was out of order, this melancholy ceremony
was postponed, and the crowd, after waiting several hours
dispersed, says the letter, uttering expressions of dis-
content.
