men do not obey guod laws society may be dissolved,
but not if trey disobey bad laws.
is We must, there-
fore, inform Sir R. PEEL that it his duty to make
good laws, not to compel men by cruelty to obey
bad ones.
Can any man, for example, suppose, if the
great mass of consumers of bread were to refuse
obedience to the bread-tax, that the bonds of so-
ciety would be dissolved? If they were to set the
Custom-house at defiance, and run cargoes of
wheat at every port in the kingdom, would society
fall asunder ? Not it, indeed. The farmers would
not pay their rents the landowners would
not pay their rent-charge to the parsons to
the full—some few persons might have a dimi-
nished income, but society would not suffer one tithe
of the misery which is now inflicted on it by the
murderous Corn-laws. Not a landlord, we may
be sure, dear and useful as their presence is to the
rest of the people, would leave us to pine at losing
him in consequence of such an act of disobedience.
Though the bread-tax of twopence on every four-
pound loaf should be abolished by the resistance
of the starving people, every land-owner would
still bless us with his services for the sake
of his rent. In like manner if a great act of dis-
obedience should set aside the odious and unjust
discriminating duties on timber, or the equally
odious discriminating duties on sugar and coffee,
the shipowners and lunsberers in Canada, and the
planters in the West Indies, who now pocket amongst
them yearly some ten millions of taxes levied on
the people, might be a little worse off than
at present ; but they would each and all
continue to lend society the light of
their countenance and the benefit of their service,
and it would be as closely united as if the most
rigid and willing obedience were paid to the laws
which now so unjustly levy taxes on corn, timber,
coffee, and sugar.
Sir ROBERT PEEL, then, is altogether in error
on this point. Society is a natural phenomonon
which is not held together by positive institutions,
however much they may modify it for good or evil.
A writer in the Athenaeum of Saturday last said—
The necessity which impels men to unite in association,
is a physical necessity, arising immediately out of the
peculiarities of the human organization ; and so essential
is co-operation to our continued existence, that fiction
itr.elf, in isolating an individual, and removing him from
the beneficial influence of his species, has been com-
pelled, not merely to endow him with the ordinary
knowledge derived from society, but to surround him
with no small portion of the material products of associated
labour. The fact of association, therefore, must be taken
as coeval with man ; nor is it necessary to appeal to the
negative testimony of history, which has preserved no
record of a period in which the principle was
not already in full activity. In the instincts which Provi.
dence has planted in the human breast, may be read the
certain evidence that society is a condition inseparable from
humanity ; and that the principle of association must have
been called into operation from the very beginning.
Now, it is impossible to look with attention upon the re-
corded history of mankind, ;valiant being satisfied of two
facts : first, that the associating tendency is a constant ele-
ment in the affairs of man, while the various repelling
forces which have, from time to time, limited and controlled
its activity, are accidental and contingent; and secondly,
that civilization itself has uniformly been accompanied in
its advances by the increased activity and comprehension of
this principle.
The physical necessity gives rise to physical lavis,
and of them society is the result. It has existed
under all forms of government, and with all kinds of
positive institutions, and has grown and flourished
in spite of many fiscal regulations, which, like the
Corn-laws, tend to snake men hate each other, and
sks burst the bonds of society. It may be very flat-
tering to the self-love of Sir R. PEEL and his like
to suppose that the union of men in society de-
pends on their tutelary care, but such is not now
the general opinion ; while the maxim we have cri-
ticised, instead of being received as undoubted
truth, will be rather regarded as a mere cunning
saying of a cunning man, intended to frighten
people into submission to Toryism.

Ireland is most provokingly tranquil. All that
the Orangemen can do—and they have not been
idle of late—they cannot succeed in exciting the
people to break the laws. Nothinc, beyond the
magnitude of a "row" has rewarded their patriotic
labours for some time past, and there is, we are
happy to think, a still less chance of their being
0
able to disturb the public peace in future.
Till of late years the Irish people had reason to
consider law and oppression as synonymous terms.
Under the Orange regime, they always found that.,
when any peculiarly atrocious injustice was to be
perpetrated, the readiest way to accomplish the
object in view was to drag the victim before a legal
tribunal. Was it to be wondered at that the laws
should be hated and broken where they were
known only as a scourge in the hands of tyrants ?'
With a liberal Government came justice and mercy
hand in hand. The impartial administration of the
laws gradually commanded the confidence and se-
cured the obedience of the people.
In the Temperance organisation, too, a principle
of incalculable power has come into play, which,
while it promises to give, and indeed is giving, a
new aspect to the great mass of Irish society, dis-
arms Orangeism of its most deadly weapon. It
has hitherto been the practice of the Orange fac-
tion, to use intemperance as the instrument of their
demoniacal policy. Father MATHEW has now
wrested that instrument from their hands.

We shall probably be asked by some of our Tory
Contemporaries, on what grounds we assert the
diminution of crime in Ireland, and the influence
of the temperate system on the people ? We take
a test to which the Tories cannot object, as it is
that to which, when it seems to suit their purposes,
they are never reluctant to appeal—the state of the
calendars at the assizes. In another part of The
Sun will be found an article from an Irish Con-
temporary, which, we are sure, will be read with
much interest, as it avouches a great and rapid im-
provement in the character and habits of the Irish
people, not on vague report, but on the testimony
of the Judges themselves.

Some of the good people of St. George's in the
East have taken it into their heads to protest against
the noise of the Blackwall Railway. They have
even gone so far as to threaten an indictment for a
nuisance, unless the machinery can be prevailed upon
to exercise its functions according to the silent sys-
tem. This is sufficiently absurd. It is rather too
late in the day to come with an objection of this kind.
If the complaining parties have auditory organs
of such excessive sensitiveness, why did they not
state this objection before the Committee of the
House of Commons, to whom the Bill for this
railway in its passage through the Legislature
was referred ? That would have been the proper
time.

Instead of following this straightforward course,
they never say a word until a vast amount of capi-
tal has been embarked in the undertaking, and the
working of the railway actually commenced ! It
really looks as if they had suppressed their objec-
tion for the purpose of making a catch at the pro-
prietary when they should be at their mercy. This
proceeding is tantamount to saying, " Now we
have you—if you don't come down handsomely
we'll indict you."
The men of the East, wise as they proverbially
are, will perhaps find that they have overshot their
mark in this instance. If the noise of machinery
be an indictable nuisance, we should like to know
what would become of St. George's in the East ?
Why, the Tower Hamlets would be depopulated.
Were their own principles carried out to their fair
and legitimate extent, the very persons who are
I now at-tempting to get up this senseless cry against
the Blackwall Railway, would be the first to feel
the effects of such folly, and the loudest in their
complaints against it. The truth is, the district
through which the Blackwall Railway runs is the
region
of
to
sounds, and smells, absolutely nuisances. It is full of all manner of
annoyances
people of delicate nerves. It
abounds in sights,
harrowing to fine-strung organs.
But the inhabitants do not complain, because it
is for their interest that the causes of these annoy-
' ances should exist among them. If they dispense
with steam-engines and workshops, they must also
dispense with bread. Mutual forbearance is there-
fore the order of the day, and we cannot help
thinking that the Vestry of St. George's in the
East will do a very foolish thing if they persist
in their resolution to depart from a practice
which has hitherto been found so benernfiucicahl
to the community. They will not
suc-
ceed. 1 he Blackwall Railway is too
identified with public utility, too much
mixed up with the convenience and recreation of a
large mass of the inhabitants of the metropolis, as
well as with its great commercial and shipping in-
terests, to be put down by the unreasonable clamour
of a few individuals.
We cannot conclude these remarks without a
~crd or two on the resolution proposed by a Re-

verend Gentleman of the name of DOUGLAS, and
passed by this Vestry. This resolution declares
that conveying passengers on a Sunday is a dese-
cration of the Sabbath. Cant of this kind is now
become so common that it ceases to create any sur-
prise, or even to excite any attention. The clergy,
as a body, are the greatest enemies to the working
classes. They not only help to starve them by
the bread-tax, which they are even more strenuous
than the owners of the soil in advocating, and sup-
porting by their enormous influence, but they seem
to take a spiteful and malignant pleasure in ex-
cluding them from the enjoyment of the pleasures
—and GOD knows these are both few and small—
which are within their reach, and which might,
for a short space, divert their minds from the con-
templation of that almost unremitting and ill-re-
quited toil to which their bodies are doomed.
The working man, who has worn his bones and
sinews in labour during six days, can now, on the
seventh, take his wife and children out of the un-
wholsome atmosphere in which they are cooped up,
and give them a breath of fresh air, and a sight of
green fields. But " no," says the churlish priest ;
" this a pleasure for the rich not for the poor,"
The man of GOD sees no harm in Sunday travel-
ling in those who are wealthy enough to keep their
own carriages, use their own horses, and employ
their own servants. In such cases there is no sacer-
dotal sympathy either with man or beast. But let
a man, broken down with six days' hard work, at-
tempt to convey himself by an Inanimate machine
to Gravesend on Sunday, for a little health and re-
creation, that is indeed a crime—that is a dese-
cration of the Sabbath I that must be put a stop to
immediately
We tell these professors of ultra-godliness that
this crusade against the enjoyments of the working-
classes is as impolitic as it is uncharitable and un-
christian. These classes are now far too enlight-
ened not to see that the men cannot be sincere, who
pretend to consider that as a crime in one class
which is blameless in another. "If loco-
motion on Sunday," they argue, "is to be
voted a heinous transgression of the law of GOD,
why do not you, the BishOps and Clergy, make the
higher classes give it over first ? They 'can take
as much air and exercise as they please during the
week, and to them it can be no hardship to sit still
on Sunday. Instead of this reasonable way of
acting, you adopt a course the very reverse ; you
allow the higher classes, who ought to set the ex-
ample to the lower, to do just as they please, while
you are constantly making laws to harass the work-
ing classes, cutting them off from the exercise of all
natural liberty, and the enjoyment of all innocent
recreation. We have heard it said that one man may
steal a horse when another dares not look over a
hedge, but such a doctrine does not come with a
good grace from the State-paid preachers of religion,
and the consecrated guardians of the national mo-
rality."

We have received a file of the South Australian
Register to the I st of March inclusive, but it brings no
news of any importance. We shall endeavour to make
room to-morrow for an article addressed to " Newly-
arrived Settlers," in answer to some strictures in a
Scotch Journal reflecting on the climate of the colony.
At Port Lincoln several public companies have been
formed, and speculation and enterprise seem as rife as
in the mother country.

Brussels and German Papers of the latest dates have
just reached us. The following are extracts from

them :

Sr. PETERSBURGH, JUNE 17.—Reports having been
spread that the Government has commissioned several mer-
cantile houses to make large purchases of corn in the ports
of the Baltic and of foreign countries, it is judged neces-
sary to inform the public that these reports are entirely
destitute of foundation, and are probably spread by de-
signing speculators, for the purpose of causing a rise in
the prices of corn, and of throwing impediments in the
way of the trade in that article. The Government, far
from circumscribing the freedom of the corn trade, affords
it, on the contrary, every possible facility.
KIEL, JULY 21.—Two Russian men-of-war, the Amora
frigate of 64 guns, and the Ines Woodchefshy corvette of
32 guns, arrived here on Saturday, the 18;b, avid this
morn ng the Nectar brig joined them. This little squa-
dron waits here for the arrival of the Grand Duke Con-
stantine, who is expected from Ems to-day or to-morrow.
—Hamburgh Borsen Halle, July 24.
BRUSSELS, JULY 25.—The affair of Colonel Murray be-
fore the Court of AsLizes at Brussels is not vet terminated.
VIENNA. JULY 17.—We learn from Kirchberg, that the
Duke of Bordeaux will make another tour in the autumn,
and that be intends this time to visit the north-west of
Germany, viz. Berlin, Hamburgh, Hanover, and return
by way of Augsburg end Munich, whence ho will go to
Gorits for the winter.

The Paris journals of Friday and Saturday have been
duly received. The affairs of Spain and the East
wholly occupy them. We copy, from the Monzteur of
Saturday, the following official intelligence, which ap-
peared in the Messager of Friday night :
" The new Spanish Ministry was formed on the evening
of the 20th inst. It is composed as follows:
" Antonio Gonzales, President and Minister of Justice.
" Charles de Onis, Foreign Affairs.
" Vineent Sancho, Interior.
" Valentin Ferras, War.
" Feria, Finance.
" Armero, Marine.

" It is now announced, contrary to the first statement,
that the Queen has not recalled the assent she had given
to the Municipality Bill. On the 21st inst., the excite-
ment at Barcelona was very great, but the insurrection
had ceased."

According to the Capitolc, the Marquis DE MIRA-
FLORES, the Spanish Ambassador at Paris, has officially
given notice to the French Government that, the QUEEN
REGENT being no longer free, his functions have
ceased. The Commerce states, also, that a report was
in circulation that the French Government had
ordered Louis PHILIPPE'S Representative at the
Spanish Court to return to Paris if he
found the QUEEN not at full liberty. These
are very foolish proceedings on all sides,
and may bring about a catastrophe which the
French Government may long have reason deeply to
lament. The Corporations Bill, against which ESPAR-
TERO had set his face, was a virtual abrogation of the
Constitution. The Cortes by whom it was passed
were well known to the Regent and the people, to be
no more the legal representatives of Spain than the
members of the British House of Commons. They were
returned by fraud, violence, and corruption on the part
of the Cabinet; and if ESPARTERO did not sooner openly
denounce them, it wrs because be wished not that the
army should presume to over-awe a Legislative Assem-
bly, however constituted, as it would establish
a most dangerous precedent ; and next, because the
Regent had secretly pledged herself not to give the
Royal sanction to any law passed by the present
Chambers—knowing, as she professed to do, that they
were unconstitutionally elected—which would in fact
abridge the liberties and immunities secured to the
Spanish people by the Constitution. ESPARTERO,
however, had learned not to put too much faith i the
promises of Princes. He took care to secure the affec-
tions of the army ; and a Ministerial secret correspon-
dence which he recently discovered, and in which
the REGENT happened to be implicated, convinced
him of the prudence of the course which he had
adopted. He, however, held his peace ; and from what
has since taken place, we hare no doubt whatever but
the object of the REGENT, in coming to bead-quarters,
was to persuade the army to declare for her and the
Ministry ; to give the Royal sanction to the obnoxious
Corporation Bill ; and, in the event of any offence being
given by ESPARTERO, suddenly to dismiss him, and per-
haps order him to try for a time what benefit could be
derived from a foreign climate. We know the cha-
racter of the REGENT, and of her family, too well not
to be certain that she would have no misgivings upon
such a matter.
The latest accounts from the Spanish capital and
Barcelona will be found in another part of The Sun.
To them we refer our readers for inte'esting details,
be premature to offer a word of I
cuoprnonmtevnhti.ch it would Much
tw
will depend upon the French Go-
vernment, or rather everything now rests with the
King of the FRENCH and M. THIERS. If Liberal I

ieignty of the young

The articles on the Eaitern question in the Paris

Journals consist, for the most part, of epectilattons
conjectures, which it would be a waste of space to
transfer to our columns, and a waste of time to com-
ment upon, No fresh communication either from Con-
stantinople or Alexandria had reached Paris on Sa-
turday,

Sir MOSES MONTEFIORE and the deputation on be-
half of the Syrian Jews were at Marseilles on the 20th
inst. Sir Masts expected to reach Alexandria about
the first week in August, whence he would journey with-
out delay to Damascus. At Marseilles it was gene-
rally expected that the French Government would, to
screen the French Consul, throw every impediment in
the way of the inquiry. It was even understood that
the VICEROY has already been tampered with, and at
Alexandria the influence of France is at this moment
all-powerful. We trust reports so disgraceful to the
French Government—so infamous so far as regards M.
Thiers—are unfounded.

The following extracts include what other news
.here is in the Paris journals :

A journal says that four thousand Spaniards will shortly
be sent to Africa ; of the three officers to each company
one is to be a Frenchman, as well as the Adjutant-Major
of each battalion ; the others arc to he Spaniards. Con-
trary to the military regulations, the word of command is
to be given in Spanish.--La Gazette de France.
Yesterday afternoon the King gave a private audience
to Vice-Admiral Baron Mackau. After taking leave of
his Majesty, the Admiral waited on the President of the
Council, with whom he remained a consid rabic time.
Baron Mackau, who has set out this morning for Cher-
bourg, is invested with the Commander•in-chief of the
French naval force employed in the South American seas,
and has full powers from the King's Government to nego-
tiate on the affairs of France in the Rio de la Plata.
The expedition placed under his command is amply pro-
vided with all the means fur carrying the object into exe-
cution, which had been previously collected to insure
success.

The eminent services rendered by Admiral Mackan
during the last thirty years in the numerous missions with
which he has been entrusted in almost all parts of the
globe, -and especially at. St. Domingo, Carthagena, the
Antilles, and more recently in the administration of the
most important of our colonies especially recommended
him, under the circumstances which have occurred, to the
choice of the cabinet, whose entire confidence he enjoys.
MARSEILLES, JULY 20.—The Indian mail is expected
about the end of the month. There are ttvo, in fact, on
the way; OHO from Bombay, with dates of June 1, and
the other with dates of June 20. The former takes Aden
and Suez, and the latter toe Persian Gulf. It is thought
here by naval men connected with the latter service that
the Bassora mail will be first.

ALARMING FEVER AT HOBART TOWN.—According
to the Hobart Town Courier, it appears that a fearful
fever is raging there. It broke out in the Peniten-
tiary and the Female House of Correction. Out of a
road party of one hundred and twenty-two, near New
Town, 95 were attacked, and fi!ty are still laid up.
The average of mortality in Hobart Town since its
commencement has been calculated at as one in seven,
nearly twice the amount of what is generally computed
as the result of the most fatal fever. Another proof of
its fatal character—the Malcolm Huts road party—out
of twenty-eight attacked with the fever, fourteen have
died.

Accounts from Port Nicholson state that, by a
grntic-
man who arrived in Sydney from the above port, the
Cuba and Aurora had both arrived with passengers and
merchandize ; but the emigrants bad expressed themselves
much disappointed both in the country and in their pro-
spects, and for the most part were desirous of coming into
Sydney. Colonel Wakefield, the Chief Commissioner of
the New Zealand Company, had arrived at Port Nichol-
son, and it was expected that his arrival would remove
much of the disappointment of the emigrants. We under-
stand that the Union Bink of Australia is about to esta-
