The result of on
the Ist No-
vember, 1841, was the return of—Reformers, 14; Tories, 1.
he municipal AcORREsPeIOeNc
The only ward that was contested was among the Re-
formers themselves for St. Thomas's, being the town of
Portsmouth. The result was—
Mr. Warn (Radical) l7l Mr. Hawkins (Radical) go
Mr. Bramble (Whig)..x 134 Mr. Huish (Whig), a
Mr. Childs (Radical) 133 candidate for the office
Mr. Burne (Whig) 123 of Mayor
Mr. Miller (Whig), ex- 61
churchwarden ll6
The first four elected.

On the 9th Mr. Howard (a Whig) was elected Mayor,
having carried the election in opposition to Mr. Casher
(a Whig). The Ward of St. Thomas's was entitled to
the Mayor, but the chance of the birth of a Prince of
Wales, and the bauble of Knighthood, was so great a
temptation to the " Griffinites " as could not be with-
stood, and they came primed to the brim to do any act
of injustice to another Ward, so that they could grasp
the bauble for themselves. If such had not been the
case, and the only objection had been to Mr. Casher,
they would have proposed Alderman Carter, or Mr.
Hoskins, or Mr. Slight. The Griffinites entered into a
compromise to elect a Tory Alderman in the room of one
of the seven going out of office (who was disqualified),
to get their great " Dan " (not Daniel O'Connell) elect-
ed Mayor. Dr. Thompson is the first and only Tory
Alderman.
The parish clerk of Winkleigh has a salary'of
a guinea a year for winding up the church clock daily.
To earn this sum he has to travel 102 miles, ascend and

of the people are resolved to put down the Corn- 1
law if they can. Even the Chartists, who will
not join actively in putting it down, always ex-
press their abhorrence of it, and only refrain
from uniting with others to attain that object
because they look -beyond it, and openly say
thatthey want to put down the authors of the
law, and take from them the power ever to
renew so barbarous an enactment.
Passing over the nonsense which the Post, in
common with a multitude of scribblers, and pro-
bably in common with its masters, expresses about
regulated liberty only existing in proportion as
the law is respected—as if the regulated liberty of
buying and selling where and when men like,
which is one of the most essential of all liberties
for our commercial people, would not be esta-
blished and protected by treading the abominable
Corn-law under foot--passing over all its custo-
mary and routine praise of law, per se, as if
every enactment, be it what it may, deserved
equal honour, and there were neither right nor
wrong but that which Members of Parliament
decree—we askethe Post, whose•especial fault
is it that the 'passions or violence of the people
can be stirred up at all on the subject of the
Corn-law? We are aware that it is a most deli-
cate and tender subject; we grant that while
there are thousands of people out of employment
in every manufacturing town—while the mills
are stopped, and merchants and manufacturers
are breaking by: dozens—when hungry- mul-
titudes are' *demanding bread =it is
a dangerous question to. moot,-7--but who
has driven the country and the press into this
terrible dilemma? Tile landlords, we answer;
the Tories, whose organs now cry out and
threaten punishment to those who hold up their
profligate perseverance in wrong to merited re-
probation. If we had waited till now to de-
nounce the Corn-laws we might have been
liable to the charge of improperly appealing
to the people; but for three years and a half
have we incessantly reprobated those laws,
speaking of them at first as we speak of them
now; and that our language now falls on the
ears of a long-suffering, and starving, and
perhaps infuriated people, is the fault of
the law-makers, who have stubbornly persevered
in plundering and oppressing them.
The subsistence of the people is, of all sub-
jects, the most delicate that a law-maker can
meddle with ; it is at, the same time that one
which the least calls for his interference, because
all theory and all experience prove that the peo-
ple best provide for their own subsistence. His
duty is to.protect their industry, not to direct
it. All theory and all experience prove that
wheneVer he interferes with it he does mischief.
He has no power to augment subsistence the

value of a single potatoe. lie can only influence
the production of national wealth to diminish
its amount by changing its distribution. All he
can do, and all he does by Corn•laws, is to take
something from the right owner and give
it to the man who owns it not. lie can-
not interfere with it, therefore, unless by vio-

'.acing that property he holds power to protect. At
the same time he is, and must be, ignorant of the
circumstances, for no man knows them, which are
hereafter to regulate the production of subsis-
tence; and if he peril his power by assmning the
enormous responsibility of providing for the sub-
sistence of the people, be must not blame those
who affirm that to submit to his frantic ambition,
or be the victims of his murderous avarice, is
not the duty of mankind.
We have not stated these opinions without
being well aware of their bearings and their vast
importance; but it is impossible to know that one
law-maker admits that this law enriches himself
and all his tribe, by raising the price of the
people's bread; that another law-maker, speak-
ing the sentiments of his class, openly declares
that, whether men like this law or not, they shall
have no other; that they must submit to be
plundered; that he and his friends have the
power of making laws, and they will eject from
office every Ministry, as they have ejected one
which proposes to alter them,—it is impossible to
believe, as we believe, after much consideration,
and in common with a great multitude, that this
la.w, which the landlords are resolved wrong-
fully to maintain, dooms a large number of the
people annually to hunger and to death by star-
vation—actually withholding food from them;
which by their own honest industry they might
purchase in abundance—that it interrupts com-
merce, and prevents the progress of brotherhood
and civilization amongst the nations of the earth,
—it is impossible to know that such a law exists
only by the will of those who suppose they are.
enriched by it, without being forced to discuss
the doctrine of resistance, and coming to the
conclusion that it is a crime in the community to
obey such a law. . .

How frail, too, let us to remark in conclusion,

is the tenure of power by those who assert that
unless their frantic ambition and murderous
avarice be blindly obeyed, society, which they
did not create nor form, will fall into disorder.
The Times yesterday startled the community by
quoting proofs from Paris Journals, both Govern-
ment and Opposition, that France trembles on
the brink of another great social revolution, and
that its fate hangs on the life of a man who is
shot at once a year. It does not require a poli-
tical remembrance beyond the year 1830, to con-
vince us that such a change in France would
have disastrous effects for our aristocracy. They
hold their power, then, by the frail tenure of
Louts PHILIPPE'S life, and they madly persist,
by their injustice, in turning the people, on whom
they must rely for support, into enemies.

LONDON :
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1341.

The masters of the Morning Post seem
alarmed, and begin to threaten the Press,
thr.)ugh the medium of that Journal, with we
know not what prosecutions. In its tirade yes-

terday, on the subject of obeying the law, are
the following passages:— . .

If the Government Ie more anxious for the praise of
being called '°Liberal." than for the protection of ra-
tional liberty, it is easy to see why this should be per-
mitted to go on ; but if the Government do its duty it
will nut the law in force, in order to punish those who
print and publishthat the law ought to be resisted. -
. . It is often urged that by taking notice of certain
offences the evil is spread abroad, and more harm done
than good—that in many cases contempt is the best cor-
rective. W. e own that tnis does create a difficulty, and
that there is no absolute rule in such cases. It is the
part of practical wisdom to he guided in such cases by
circumstances. However, when we take into account
the quantity 01 error and prejudice which subsist upon
the Corn-law question, and the great linbilitn of die
people to be stirred up toviclence upon the subject; it is our
opinion that contempt is no longer the safe treatment for
those who publish that the existing law ought to be
resisted.

The Morning Chronicle begins to be " ap-
prehensive of some danger to the great princi-
ples of civil and religious liberty, from the con-
joined activity of Puseyism and Catholicism. The
present age exhibits a great struggle going on
between ecclesiastical power and the freedom of
the human mind. We had thought that eccle-
siastical power had been fairly put down, and
kept within its proper limits; but we behold it
reviving once more, and contending for the
mastery." That is true ; but we must accuse
our Contemporary, and the majority of the
Liberal press, of having contributed to bring
about such a result. They have continually—
especially when the Whigs were in office—
spoken with approbation of the Church of Eng-
land; and they have, by upholding that institu-
tion, sanctioned and strengthened the claims of
ecclesiastical power. If they expected to put
down the power of the Romish priesthood by
nourishing the power of another priesthood,
which resembles the Romisk in everything
but the name, they have been much mistaken.
The true corrective of ecclesiastical power is not
an Established Church, but free inquiry; and
many of
those who advocate the principles of
civil and religious liberty, ought to he filled with
regret at having countenanced and supported the
Church of England. She has long been only. an
auxiliary of Rome, a helpmate in nursing super_
stition ; and now her proper office of preparing
men to embrace Romanism, is alike revealed in
the doctrines of the Tracts, and in the conversion
of Mr. SIBTHORP. If our Liberal Contempora-
ries wish to see ecclesiastical power fairly put
down, they must begin with the Church of
England.

.
We believe, bold as have been the assertions
of the Press, that the Post and its masters may
safely be defied. We have discussed, and other
ournat; have'discussed, the duty of obeying or
resisting- the law ; and we have maintained, and
shall continue to maintain, that it is the duty of
all men to disobey and resist an enactment or
decree, like that of HEaon, for putting infants
to death, and like that of our Corn-law makers,
-which dooms the
people to starvation, whenever
they can successfully resist it. To attempt to •
punish the Press for such discussion and such
opinions is at once to doom men to the worst
kind of slavery, that of , being the unresisting in-
struments of committing crimes they abhor,
when ordered by a tyrant.
It is quite true that if the law be resisted,
and those who administer it have the power,
they will punish the resisters; but we are not
acquainted with any law, either written or un-
written, which rreEcribes punishment for those
who discuss the propriety of resisting it, and who
come to the conclusion that a law is of such a
mischievous nature that to resist it, when men
are able, is a matter of duty. It is the opinion of
the Post, and probably the opinion of the land-
owners, that " they who affirm that the Corn-
law ought to be resisted "—that is, affirm that it
is a murderous law, a law which ought never to
have been enaaed, a law which it is immoral to
Obcy—cc deserve punishment for every such public
affirmation ;" but it is nor, we are persuaded, the
Opinion of the majority of the sane and intelli-
gent people of .ttis empire, or any other empire,
at any period of the warld.
We refer to tlkdrticle we have copied from
the Globe, tOAow that it is not the opinion of
that Journal and its readers—we refer to the
crowded. meeting of the Dissenting Clergymen
at Manchester, in August last— we refer to every
Corn-law Association throughout the empire, all
of which are intent on organizing resistance to
the law, resolute to overturn it—we refer to the
manner in which it has been no less indignantly
than justly denounced in three-fourths of the
Journals of the empire, L.) show that the majority

We stated on June 5, 1840, that " there are two
immense bodies of men in this metropolis who
have an interest in delaying causes, and prevent-
ing their clients from obtaining a settlement or
their disputes, and so long as that state of things
exists, the multiplication of Cowts and Jud,es
will only enable them more effectually to
fleece their clients." We have now two new
Courts and two additional Vice-Chancellors, and
this deScription of their proceedings was given
in the Post yesterday : "At nearly three o'clock,"
it said—
" The Vire-Chancellor's Court was already `up' for
the day. The Lord Chancellor was still sitting and
listening to a gentleman who, from his mode of proceed-
ing, may be presumed to have quite forgotten that the
life of man has been somewhat abridged since the great
flood. We next found our way (by dint of great perse-
verance) to the incommodious chambers above stairs,
whereic Mr. Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce and Mr.
Vice-Chancellor
Wigram hold their Courts. These
Judges were still sitting, and appaiently very anxious

to go on with the business in the paper ; but the
barristers appeared to be anxious for only one thing,
and that was, to draw the attention of their Honours
to the clock upon the wall, which indicated that the
hour of three was very near at hand. In vain did
Mr. Fight Bruce sweep the Court perpetually with his
double eye-glass, and look as reproachful as his extreme
urbanity will permit him to look. In vain did he hint
that he _ was not particular to a minute when business
was to be done. At last a junior was prevailed upon to
open a case, a task with which the said junior appeared
to be by no means well pleased, while seniors stood
up, and seemed fidgetty to get away. As for Mr.
Vice-Chancellor Wigram, he answered plainly to the
clock remonstrance, that he did not mean to rise at three,
but wished to go on with hiS work. He could not, while
we remained, get the work to do. Cause after cause
was called on, but the professional gentlemen engaged
were not there, or were not prepared to proceed."
The two new Judges, now that they are ap-
pointed, have no bushiciss to perform. Bar-
risters and Solicitors are not anxious to get
through causes. They have got two Courts to
make a show and promise of getting a decision.
They have obtained, thtrefore', an additional tiObi k
to catch their prey, but they will no more now
allow it to escape tilt they have devoured'it,
than they did when there was only the LORD
CHANCELLOR'S Court in full practice.

tails, which are not withott interest, of the last moments
of Montes de Oca:—" Wien lie arrived at the spot fixed

after whispering a few wads to his confessor, he looked
calmly around him, and %talked with a fit-in step in front

of manly expression, probundly interested all who were

. Gen. .Montes de Oca; Ger. Don FranciEco Narvaez, Minis-

that he constantly refusel to reveal the name of the per-

The capital of Scotland must, indeed, be a
frightful place to live in. Madrid or Rome,
when the Church was every thing, and the In-
quisition was in its full vigour, could scarcely be
worse. Till the Non-Intrusion mania sprung
up, the authorities in Scotland rarely interfered
with the observances of the Sabbath. The
education of the people, their habits and
national pride,led them to regard the first day of
the Week with a holy and religious reverence,
a-nd to refrain as much as possible from *oddly
pursuits on a day set apart by universal consent
for solemn duties, and rest from labour. Now
iche case is different. The clergy, and the
lay authorities in some districts, not con-
tent with this voluntary homage, have deter-
mined to make the observance of the day so
strict, that the people, and chiefly the lower
classes, are forced to rebel against. them. Not
many months ago, a Kirk Session prohibited
the people from burying their dead on a Sun-
day. The people resisted the • tyrannical
ordinance, and resolved to have a burying-
ground of their own. Travelling by coach, or
railway, or steam-boat, forms a theme for long
discussion at almost every meeting of a Church
Court ; nay, even practices of still less moment,
Lave lately occupied a Kirk Session at Edin-
burgh. Nothing is too small for the visual organs
of these holy inquisitors. Will the people of
England believe that a respectable shopkeeper
in Edinburgh was sent to gaol fur twenty-one
days to pick oakum for selling sweet-meats
to children on a Sunday ? The prose-
cution was instituted on the information of
a clergyman of the Established Church (the
poor man's Church) who " gloried in his place in
the Presbytery that he had prosecuted a poor
man under such circumstances, and boasted
that it would be a long time before the
man would be able to pay the fine by
selling sweeties." The Chief Magistrate of
Edinburgh, a crazy Non-lutrusioaist, not
only justified the atrocious deed, but ex-
claimed in a fit of enthusiasm, " If such a daring
and wilful violation of the law of GOD were not
put down, ail reverence for the Sabbath would
be lost." And this is the way in • which
Lord Provost FORREST would make the
poor love the Sabbath-day. The unfortunate
victim it appears was fined Bs., added to which
were lls. for expenses of Court, and a fee to the
Procurator Fiscal (public prosecutor) of 421. 2s.
'While the poor man was working like a felon in
prison, from his inability to pay 3/. ls., his wife
and child were reduced to the greatest distress.
" She was indeed," said Mr. ROBERTSON, one
of the members of the Town Council, " an in-
teresting, heart-broken looking woman, and
the child, from the cold to which it had
unavoidably been exposed in the shop,
wa fast dying, if it was not already dead."
And can such cruelties be permitted in a Christian
land? While Sir JAMES FORREST, in his scarlet
robes of office, and the Reverend persecutor, are
singing praises in the church, the "sighing of
the prisoner," and the cries of his afflicted wife
and dying child, will reach the ears of HIM who
"delighteth in mercy rather than in sacrifice."
Need we ask, which will be the more effectual ?
Such a mockery of all that is sacred, and just,
and merciful, will do more to create unbelief
in the doctrines these men set forth, than all
the writings of scoffers and infidels. The
LORD PROVOST, and Mr. GUTHRIE, the cler-•
gyman, should be tried for bringing the re-
ligion of the country into contempt. They do
infinitely more mischief than the works of
PAINE and CARLILE, and should be made to
" read their sin in their punishment." In
the concluding sentence of Mr. ROBERTSON we
cordially concur. It will find a response in every
well-regulated mind. " The fact was," said he,
" that those self-righteous individuals were fast
bringing Christianity and the Gospel of peace
into contempt and hatred. For his own part, he
would rather be an infidel than the prosecutors
of this poor man on such-a miserable charge, and
under such circumstances. It might be a short
road to the Eldership to give information against
this poor man ; but he doubted very much it' it
was the quickest way to heaven."

The Paris Journals have all reached us.
In the Journal des Debats we find a very

remarkable article, the purport of which

is that France is on the verge of a great

revolution, which threatens to upset society.
" The question is no longer," writes the
Debuts, " whether the KING ". ought to

reign or govern, or whether the Constitution
ought to be interpreted in such or such a sense,
but whether social order, the Government, apd

the Constitution, shall exist. The revolution

which threatens France cannot be termed a de-

mocracy or republic, but purely and sim-
ply spoliation. This is the truth, of which
everybody is conscious, except some Par-
liamentary doctors, who are enclosed in the
Chamber of Deputio;.; as in a catacomb, 'with-
out hearing or seeing ought of what is

passing in the world. . . . It appears
as if we lived under some fatal spell.
We speak of the Chambers' Parliamentary de-

bates, of the inviolabilit).- of the KING, and of the
Representative Government, while an attempt is

made to assassinate the KING every year, except
when his children take his place. Calumny

prepares the attempt to murder the KING,
which is itself only a means to an end." The re-

publican National admits the statement of the

We have received Madrid Papers of the 3d
inst. In the Gazette of that date we find the
annexed decree of the REGENT suspending the
payment of the 30,0001., granted by the Cortes,
as an annual pension, to the perfidious and pro-

fligate widow of FERDINAND VII.:—
"With a due regard for just political considera-
tions, and for certain motives of public propriety, in
my quality of Regent of the kingdom, during the
minority of her Majesty Queen Isabella 11., and
with the concurrence of the Council of Ministers,
I have decreed as follows :—From this moment, and
until the adoption of a new legislative measure, the pay-
ment of the grant allowed by the budget to her Majesty
the Queen-Mother, Maria Christina, of Bourbon, is sus-
pended. You will receive this as decided, and will see
to its execution. DU CA DE LA VICTORIA.

" President of the Council of Ministers."

Debats to be true so far as regards the upsetting
of the present Government, and glories in it.
You plead," says the latter Journal, address-
ing the Debats, " a fatal cause, and you are
conscious of it. We plead a just cause, and
we likewise are conscious of it. And this
is the reason why you see with bitter pain the
present escape towards the past, while we see

better times approach. Thence your apathy,
and our activity. You have already one foot
in the grave, while we are rising into life."
The National, in our opinion, here falls into
the trap set for it by theDebats. Itevidently does
not see the drift of theDebats' gloomy representa-
tion of the state of France. It forgets that
QUENISSET'S trial comes on next Monday, and
that the Chambers are soon to assemble,
from which the Ministers anticipate a stormy
opposition. The .Debats wants to frighten the
people, and to provoke the Republican press
into new indiscretions before the meeting of
the Court of Peers on Monday. It will succeed.

A drunken vagabond was arrested a few nights since
in the Rue Montholon, vociferating " Vivo le Due de
Bordeaux ! " "J'aime le Duc do Bordeaux ! " On
being brought next morning before the Commissary. of
Police,. he declared he had no recollection of having
uttered sentiments so contrary to his real opinions, and
was convinced that he must have shouted, or at least
meant to shout, " Vice le Via de Bordeaux !" J'aime
le Vin de Bordeaux ! " The rogue's ingenuity did not
save him from being committed.
The Courrier de Lyon contains accounts from various
parts of the Jura of the great damage done by the late

The Cour Royale of Douai has- annulled the sentence
of the Correctional Tribunal of Lille, which had con-
demned Messrs. Bianqui, Savary, and Coffy, to various

of Municipal Police of the town, on a charge of noctur-

hopeless state, and the fourth very seriously injured.

be able to resume her voyage in a few days.

The wretched woman, Maria Christina de Bourbon, and
those by whom she has been impulsed and assisted,
deserve the execration of the poor people of Spain
for ese calamities and sufferings that some of
the best families in the country are undergoing,
through the infamous conspiracy in which their rela-
tives and friends were cajoled to join. Brigadier-General

The Madrid papers of the 3d inst. are loud in
their denunciations of the intrigues of France.
The projected marriage ofa French Prince with the
young Queen is generally ridiculed. " We invite,"
writes the Ministerial Expeetador, " all those
who, faithful to a policy of old standing, dream
of such a marriage, to remember 1808, and not
'forget that the blood of the Spaniards of 'Pavia,

" A report is current," says the Manama Parisien,
" that a house of the first rank in the linen and calico
trade has stopped payment for several millions of francs."
The Gazette de France says that the house is that of
Messrs ll—. J—, and of Mulhausen, manufac-
turers of toiles peintes.. "The liabilities of this house,"
it adds, " are estimated at several millions of francs. , A
great number of workmen were employed by it." The
Gazette says that the Procureur du Roi has had an inter- -
view with the Syndic of the Agents de Change, on occa-
sion of the absconding of M. Bonnet.
We have authority. to, contradict, as, totally without
foundation, a paragraph .which, appeared in this journal
on the 28th ult., extracted frornethe Cork Examiner,
stating that Lord Holland had, been converted to the
Roman Catholic faith while at Rome in September last.
Ins Lordship has not been in that city since 1835.
The Memorial &Aix relates that, a few days ago, the
keeper of M. Laboulie, the owner of a large landed estate
in the Commune of Saint-Antonin, perceiving a band
of known poachers on his master's property, and satisfied
that they were about to commit:their usual depredations,
went and obtained the assistance, of three gendarmes.
The poachers, fifty
in number, were found seated round
a blazing fire, getting their .breakfast. On being re-
quired to show their licences to . shoot, they refused to
do so, declared that they were sworn to implacable hatred
to the rich, and threatened, if the gendarme,: made any
attempt to molest them, that they should all be • killed.
Finding their opponentS too numerous, the keeper and
gendarmes were forced to retire; but as several of the
poachers are well known,. active steps are taking for
their apprehension.

A letter from Constantinople, 20th ult., in the Leipsic
Gazette, says :—" The English have not yet evacuated
Saint Jean d'Acre. The Syrian soldiers, who have re-
turned from Egypt, are becoming a scourge to the-
country. They do not enter into the army, but go
about offering their services to the Druses, the Ma-
ronites, and the Naplousians. It is said that Mehemet
Ali, on sending back these Syrians, applied to the
Porte though the mediation of England, to send home
the Egyptians also who are in the Ottoman army, and
who are 16,000 in number. The question will not be
brought before the Divan until after the feast of the
Ramazant and, although the application is well-founded
it is not thought that the Sultan will comply with it."
The Expropriation Jury assembled at Versailles on
Saturday last to decide upon fbur claims for immunities
for loss and damage occasioned by the formation of the
railroad between Paris and Rouen, in the department of
the Seine et Oise. The first two were by the Mayors of
Carrieres-Saint-Denis and Houilles for lands required
from their respective communes, and for the loss they
would sustain by the 'alteration in the direction of roads.
. Carrieres-Saint-Denis demanded 37,000 f, but received
by award of the Jury no more than 650 f. ! and the claim
of 100,000 E, made in behalf of Houilles, was reduced to
1,600 E ! The third case was a claim, made by the Civil
List, of 46,224 f. for about 35 acres of the Forest of
Saint-Germain. The advocates for the Company, after
hearing the evidence and arguments in behalf of the
Civil List, left the question entirely to the discretion of
the Jury, who awarded thefull sum. In the fourth case
the town of Poissy had made a claim for 25,500 f. ; the
Company offered 10,000 f. On coming before the Jury,
the town reduced its demand to 18y000E, and got an award
fur 15,000 f.

pose of proceeding to the disarming• of a part of our

The Patriots, a Madrid journal, pretends to know
positively that M. Salvantly, the French Ambassador,
will very shortly set out for Madrid, when he, will be
ab'e to form a better idea of the state of Spain than he
could have done before the late attempt in favour of
Queen Christina.
