America, in Brazil, and in Germany, their taxi:
more stringent, to induce us to make ours
equally stringent, and so altogether annihilate
trade. For these, amongst a multitude of other
reasons, we prefer adhering, with Mr. STURGE,
to the lofty principles of justice, and dAnanding
freedom of trade for our people as a right, which
our own Legislature is not justified is with-
holding. It is as much art infraction of
• civil liberty to impede a man in buy-
ing and selling where he likes, and what
he likes, as it is to impede him in going whither
he will, and at what hour he likes. Ou locomo-
tion, we tolerate no restrictions. We may use
our feet, horses, and railroads to go whitherso-
ever we will, but on the arts of buying and
selling, or the skill of the merchant, we not only
tolerate, we demand, restrictions, as if trade were
theft, and mutual exchange mutual plunder.
The only way in which the prosperity of other
nations should stimulate our Legislature is that
pointed out by Mr. STURGE. It ought to be a
reason for removing every possible disadvantage
which our manufacturers labour under. W hat-
ever may be the price of food, or the restrictions
on trade in Belgium or Germany, there can be
no question but that a high price of faod, caused
by the law and restrictions on trade in England,
are injurious to our manufactures. Our Legis-
lature is bound to consult, regardless of other
nations, the prosperity of our own people, and it
is therefore bound, whatever may be the condi-
tion of manufacturing industry at Liege or
Lowell, to remove every impediment it has laid
on in the way of manuflicturing indus-
try at home. If the great milk-owners, as
is said, are crushing the work-people, it is the
business of the Legklat ure not to help to crush
them by taxing their bread, but to protect them
if possible against the power of the mill-owners.
To impede manufhctures, in order to protect
workmen, is committing suicide to get rid of
some local eruption on the body.
We look with great mistrustn and even hor-
ror, at the desire which is now avowed in many
quarters to restrict and impede the growth
of manufactures, because that will tend to
stop the progress of art and skill. If in our cot-
ton and woollen mills there are scenes of dis-
tress—if in our manufacturing towns the popu-
lation arc crowded unwholesomely together —it
cannot be denied that, in conjunction with those
great and admitted evils, same noble arts—arts
worthy almost of GOD—have grown into exist-
ence. Railroads, the accompaniments of the
cotton manufacture, almost annihilate time and
space. Machines are now made to make ma-
chines, and perform work which may be called
perfect. They all but speak. The hand of man has
been considered, and justly considered, to be of
itself, so perfect is the instrument, a proof of DiTine
contrivance, demonstrating the being of a GOD ;
but man, almost rivalling nature, and certainly
proving his affinity to the Deity, now makes
machines which perform most of the functions
of the human band. This beautiful, and won-
derful advance in art and skill is the consequence
and accompaniment of the progress of manufac-
tures; and though no man can tell to what it will
lead, every man who thus traces the connection
must denounce with indignation a political sys-
tem which, presuming to limit or arrest the pro-
gress of manufactures, will nip in the bud a
thousand new arts, like, but perhaps superior to,
those of running locomotives, or navigating the
universe by steam ships.
But there is another consideration. New arts
are necessarily the best paid. Manufacturers
make more wealth that! farmers. A working
engineer is far better paid than an agricultural
labourer. To impede the growth of manufac-
tures is to prevent new arts coming into exist-

ence, and is to keep wages down to the old level.
By the manufacturing system, and out of the
working. classes, a numerous middle class has
grown up. They are indebted to these new arts
for their wealth and existence. To increase that
class, therefore, free scope must be given to the
progress of industry and ingenuity. Those who
impede trade, stop the growth of the middle
classes; they prevent new and better paid, be-
cause more ingenious,. workuien from increasing
in numbers; and they do what they can to per-
petuate hi seciety an arrogant aristocracy and a
debaz,edpeople.

The Tories, by the mouth of Sir JAMES
GRAHAM, pledged themselves on Tuesday even-
ing to the principle of the New Poor-law, and
none of the Members t: ho obtained their seats
by avoeviu:,: mtmstility to that law declared their
want of conlidenee in the Tories. Even ".:Nir.
SVAKLLY contented. himself with express-
ing regret, and predicting that such con-
duct would be fatal to the Ministry. • The
Times could ,scarcely overlook it, 'and though,
like the Tory Members, it will not declare
off from the Ainisters, it is obliged to growl
out its disapprojation. •We need not make any
comments on its lucubrations, cs we have in-
serted them, to enable our readers to see how
the Times and the Ministry are now in accordance.
If Sir JAM2ZS GnAnAm's declaration had been
made three months ago, it would have materially
influenced the election. There are about twenty-
five seats, we think, including Liverpool, Hull,
linateshorough,, Bradford, the West Riding of
Yorkshire, &c., which were gained for the Tories
by small majorities in Consequence of the belief
that they were opposed to the New Poor-law.
The Anti-Poor-law cry, like so many other cries
raised by the Tories, has served its purpose,
and is now discarded. Sir R. PEEL i 5 in office,
and be disclaims it. Faith in the professions of
public men is not at present very strong, and no
day passes which does not weaken it. As the
tricks of the Tories become exposed, the last
remnant of confidence will disappear, and they
will find, as they think themselves secure in
office, that they have destroyed the Government.

A letter publiShed in the Times ye terday,
says that Lord PA L.M7.RSTON, " within a very
few days of his resignation, I believe, created
five new paid Attaches, three at 359/. and two at
2501. a-year each ; they were at Vienna, St. Pc-
tersburgh, the Hague, Dresden, and, of all other
places in the world, Stutgard." Now, we pre-
tend to no knowledge whatever of this fact; we
will sty, too, that if the offices were necessary,
we know -not why a HOWARD, an ELLIOT, or a
DUFF, might not be as proper persons to fill
theta as a GORDON, a GRAHAM, or a GLADSTONE;
but if the places were not strictly necessary, no
reprobation can be too severe on the conduct of
Lord PA LMERSTON. The charge, however, is
publicly made that he created five useless places,
and the House of Commons will neglect its duty
if -it fail to investigate the circumstance. It
ought to inquire into the whole of the diplomatic
establishment. LI the account of the civil con-
tingencies for 1340, there is a sum of no less than
51,91:48/. fur " the extraordinary dishtirsement of
Ministers at Foreign Courts, together with outfit
and equipage." Amongst the items included
'under this head, are 18,468/. for special missions,
and 15,0001. for the Governor-General of Canada
and suite, beyond the amount replaced- from the
colonial funds. Such expenses might be tole-
rated did the Exchequer overflow with the wealth
of voluntary contributors, but when every far-
thing of public revenue is extorted front the
people—when the employers and paymasters of
the Government, are, many of them, without
meat, clothes, or fire—such expenses are not jus-
tifiable for any species of service. We can only
describe them as a wanton invasion of the pro-
perty which the Government is constituted to
protect. They are more to be reprehended
when they take place under a Whig• than a
Tory Govermnent, because they are agreeable
to the nature of the latter, but they are foreign
to that of the fbrmer, and corrupt and destroy it,
while they are equally injurious to the people
whether practised by Whig or Tory. In the
present condition of the expenditure -and the
revenue, it is the duty of the House of Commons
to institute a close examination into the public
expenses before it take a-sinole additional shil-
ling from the people. A skilful . pruning knife
might lop off a million a-year from the miscel-
laneous estimates -and the civil contingencies,
and at the same time benefit the public service.

Besides the' testimony borne at Leeds to the
great progress of manufactures on the Continent
by Mr. Alderntan BATESON, which appears in
another part of The Sun, we publish the testi-
mony of Mr. S'ruILGE as to the rapid advance of
manufactures in the United States. We envy
not that progress in either country. Beggars
starvelings can give us nothing, but the
crumbs which fall from a rich man's table may
supply us with a meal. In like manner it is
good for commercial and manufacturing Eng-
land to be surrounded with rich neigh-
bour;. Their progress is no Ind:cation what-
ever either of our present or our future de-
cay. in recording it therefore, and calling
attention to the subject, we are influenced pre-
haps by a different feeling from that hick die-
tates_the observations of Mr. BATE SON and Mr.
STtillc• We look on their .success, we repeat,
without envy, and we would not urge that, in a
spirit of rivalry, as a reason for our own Legis-
lature doin
• g justice to our own people., •
We remember, toO, the use which has already
been made of such statements in Parliament.
<< It was not t to be expected," as Sir ROBERT
substance, more than once in the
PEEL. said,
House of Commons, " that other nations,
whose territory had been invaded, and
whose industry had been struck down during
the wars, givhq to the manufactures of Great
Britain the monopoly of the world, should not
Wish to become manufacturers like us when
peace was restored. They have fitirly entered
the arena with us, and the markets no longer
extend rapidly for us, because these rivals, whom
into
those can neither curb nor control, enter
those markets of which we formerly had the
exclusive supply:" He uses the Progress of

The Carlists, taking advantage of the amnesty,
were returning in large numbers to Spain. The
Bank of San Fernando was paying 4 per cent. on
account of the dividend which it will declare in
March. The business of the Bank was so flour-
ishing that it was expected the dividend would
be from 10 to 12 per cent.

Reports were afloat of the dicovery of a con-
spiracy at Cadiz and Valencia, but they were not
generally credited.
The Five per Cents. were done at f2GI cash
and 26 7-16 tbs 9-IGths /at different dates.

M.-Laporte was interred on Monday last, at Etiolles,
near Corbeil, where he had a small country-house, and
-where his death took place, on Friday night. We un-
derstand that he awoke during the night of Friday, la-
bouring under a heavy sense of oppression, and calling
or air, swallowed a glass of water, immediately after
which he was fatally struck by apoplexy. Attempts to
bleed him from the arm and the neck were made, but
ineffectually, the vital spark being totally extinct.
Active preparations on the second story of the Louvre,

- The new station, in the Rue St. Lazare for the Ver-
sailles and St. Germain Railroad, is approaching its
completion. The temporar:,7 exit, by the Impasse Bony,
is to be closed, and transferred to one of the present
Ivaitin4.-rooms. To afford greater circulation, the vesti-
bule will be continued to the Rue d'Anisterdam. On
each side of the principal court is a covered colonnade,
in which will be cafes-restaurants and shops similar to
those of the Palais Royal.
A man named Lemoine, who is condemned to hard
labouts for twenty years for poisoning, but who was pro-
visionally confined in the prison of Saintes, made his es-
cape a few nights ago. He contrived to remove the inms
from his legs, and made himself a kind of ladder of the
coverlid of his bed, with. which, after forcing his way
through a small opening which he had made in his cell,
he escaped over the buildings. In his evasion, Leinoine,
by his strength and skill overcame innumerable obsta-
cles, and all the attempts to discover him since have failed.
Sixty-three snore of the persons imprisoned for re-
fusing to disperse during the late disturbances in Paris
were arraigned yesterday before the Correctional 'Tri-
bunal. Ten wore, uequAted, and the rest were sentenced
to further confinement. from five to fifteen clays, except
one man, who was sentenced in contumacy for a month,
and a widow named Prudhomme, who when arrested
had made much resistance, and exclaimed, " If women
had beards matters would not pass off in this fashion,"
and who also-N conducted herself with great impro-
priety before the Court. She was sent back to prison for
twenty days. _ _

The Journal du Havre contains the following account
of an outrage on a French vessel, the Fourtni, on the coast
of Africa. It appears that the Fourmi, which left Goree
on the 3d February last tbr Rio-Pongo, was boarded on
the 28th by Birama, the son of Yanda Bony, chief of a
tribe, who pretended that the vessel had entered a river
belonging to his father, and, falling with his n en, who
were armed with sabres, upon the crew, forcibly took pos-
session of the vessel. The crew jumped overboard, and
takingtoone of the boats escaped. The Captain andthe
mate, however, were captured. The crew were picked up by
an American vessel shortly afterwards. Some of the
merchants on the coast sent a force to Tacou, th?. village
at which Yanda _tinny reside, and insisted on his giving
up the vessel, which he at length consented to do, and
released his prispaers, alleging as an excuse for the
seizure that he had taken the Fourmi for a slaver. The
cargo had been respected by the captors, but the cabin
had been plundered of nearly all its contents.
King Louis Phil'..7pe has addressed a letter to the
Burgomaster of Spa, as we learn from the Brussels

1787. The King mentions his high gratification at the

So suspected is every act of the Government in France
that the article in the Debats- stating that no reduction
will take place in the French navy is regarded by
several
of the Opposition papers of Wednesday as- a certain in-
dication that a rent etion is already resolved -upon by
the Cabinet. They assert that whenever the Govern-
ment begias to bluster it meditates some compromise of
the national dignity.- The French are a strange people.
They will neither hear of a diminution of the I:xpenses

tish ports. If estimates were offered of the shipments
of madder, nuts, salfon, shumack, oil, dried fruits,
oranges, wools, cons-:rood, lead, &c., the result would,
likewise, show that the larger quantity went to Great
Brhain. These ;ids will, more than anything else, con-

The King of Wurtemberg has published a general
amnesty for all political offences, dated the 25th instant.
It includes members of secret associations, and persons
of the same class under sentence, pronounced at any
time since his Majesty's accession, allowing those who
have been pardoned, on condition of expatriating them-
selves, to return to their'country, and, further, stopping
all proceedings which may have been commenced, but
not brought to judgment for similar offences. The
Royal decree, at the same time, declares that if any new
principals or accomplices, in affairs which have already
taken place, shall he, eafter be discovered, the amnesty
shall be extended to them.

Commodore Napier also explained that, at present, the

TIE WHIGS AND 'ID;. TORlES.—Taking a general
survey down to the current moment, and allowing for all
the additions which have been made to our national bur-
thens since the year 1836, we claim for the two Reform
Ministries an honour which no candid mind, compre-
hending the common rules of arithmetic, can withhold
from them, namely, that of relieving our fiscal system to '
a clear annual extent of at least 6,000,0001. sterling—a
sum which would pay the interest of no less a principal
than 200,000,000. is the Consols ! _ The imposts, more-
over, withdrawn either in whole or in part, were just
those which invaded the comfort of the lower or middle
classes, and which, before the Reform Bill, an aristocratic
Government seldom condescended to trouble itself at all
about. _They related to such articles as printed goods,
coals and slates, hemp, drugs, tiles, marine insurances,
advertisements, assessed taxes, farming stuck, cavil
wool, soap, glass, houses, and the Post-otliee. The prin-
ciple of the improvement lay-' in getting rid of such bur-
diens as were iinpusitorial, vexatious, and expe..sive in
their, collection ; as well as those tending to tile discou-
ragement of literature and knowledge amongst the more
numerous classes, or such also as enhanced the prices of
articles in general use and consumption. The entire
tendencies of Tory taxation took an opposite course and
bearing. Throughout the reigns of the two last Georges,
it was always the uppermost object to relieve the few at
the expense of the many. So long as the oligarchy was
made fat and well-liking ; so long as the hierarchy might
feed on the teinporalities of their flocks, and leave their
souls to the spiritualities of evangelical or noncon-
formists ; so long as an enormous civil list supported the
bigotry of George the Third, and the profligacy of
George the Fourth—the widely spread masses of our
increasing population were left to take their chance, as
ignorant vulgar herds, but useful sources of wealth to
1 the higher urders.-7Edectic Review.

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1841.

The Times, in au article the text of which is furnishe
by the new Poor-law, seems anxious to stir up insurree•
taint among the 'Tory subordinates, and emphatically re•
minds theta that—notwithstanding the displeasure o
their lord and master—they must keep the promises they
made to their constituents on the subject of the law in
question. " What tlity promised to their constituents,"
says the Times, " they promised, nut for Sir Robert
Peel, but for themselves ; and those promises they must
redeem. For any disitppointment which the course taken
by the Government may occasion, none but the members
of the Government and those who support them in it are
responsible ; but eteg man is responsible fur the breach
of his own word. As men of honour and public principle,
they must have been sincere and earnest in the convic-
tions which they profeSsed upon the hustings. As men
entertaining those convictions, they must desire to see
them carried out. As supporters of the general policy
of Sir E. Peel, they can feel no difficulty about pursuing
with zeal and energyvp independent course, upon a sub-
ject of which they are'lold, by members of both parties,
the, it is nut a party question. As Conservatives, they
must feel the necessity of striving, through evil report
and through good report, to identify Cons?rvatism, not
in opinion only, but in practice, with the interests and
the feelings of the; working classes."—This is one of
those bursts of sturdy independence which our Contem-
porary is so fond of affecting, in order to conceal his
apostasy.
The Post replies in the following terms, to the of:en-
repeated charge of 'tile Refermers that Sir Robert Peel is
indifferent to the dist'l'essee of the people We think
Sir Robert Peel's GovernMent is quite safe in trusting
to the good sense and. moderation of the people for an
effectual reply to all the mighty clamour which the disap-
pointed IViiig-Radicals are now tanking about the intended
prorogation of Parliament. In the vexation of defeat,
they exclaim that to prorogue the Parliament is to imailt
the people. This is idle vapouring, which may pleteie
for a moment the violent and the shallow, but conside-
rate inen must regard it as absurd. All insult depends
upon intention. Does any one believe that, in proroguing
the Parliament, and taking time to consider what mea-
sures are most fit fiir the country in its present state,
there is any wish to treat the public with contempt or
neglect ? No one call seriously hold such an opinion.
Every word which has fallen from the new Premier co:-t•
tradicts such a rash a:id unfounded judgment."—As far
as mere ..words go, Sir Robert Peel certainly evinces
great sympathy with the people ; but his deeds are in
direct contradiction to his words. His speedy prorogation
of Parliament is a deliberate insult to the country, and
his smooth, honied words only aggravate that insult.
The Heidi says :—" Dr. Bowring, on moving for
copies of correspondence between the Home-office and
the Poor-law Commissioners on the subject of distress
in Bolton, with the Report of the Assistant-Commis-
sioner sent by her Majesty's Government to inquire into
alleged cases of destitution and death, which had been
reLrred to in the debates of the present Session ; ad-
mitted that some discrepancies had found their way into
his own former statements on this subject in the House;
Ile was mildly rebuked by Sir James Graham—Sir
James Bolding out this case as one which should ope-
rate as a warning to llon. Members to assure themselves
of the correctness of their information before hazard-
ing statements as distressing, as they were exciting.'
'Phis precautionary sugg.ktion was well illustrated by
Sir Robert Peel's lecture to the Hen. Members fur
Stockport, Ashten, and Manchester, on the subject of
their exaggerated allegations on a former night, touch-
ing the extensive prevalence of the extrcmest degree of
manufacturing distress. The Premier took short
way' with these prophets of evil.' He proved, by re-
ference to official papers and other documents of unques-
tionable weight, that their assertions had been carried
most unconscionably beyond any extent to which the
facts really went."
We quote the following from the Chronicl.::—" By
what right was it ever assiuned that Sir Robert Peel and
Sir James Graham would depart from the principle of
the new Poor-law ?' What positive encouragement or
personal sanction have they afforded to that assumption?
The Times has taken it for granted. The Times has be-
come sponsor for the implied fact to the public. The
Times stirred up a furinidable mass of discontent against
the late Government by its unauthorized iterations.
The Times helped to win elections for the Peel
and Graham Ministry by its popular mode of
working this topic. The Times has enlisted multi-
tudes of recruits fur. the Tory. ranks by the promised
bounty of Poor-law' repeal ; and; now it stands like a
disgraced sergeant, a botivicted;critnp and imposter, under
the reprimand of tlte commissioned officers of the corps
which it was so eager to strengthen. What has the
Times to complain of ? It should leave anger to those
who have been duped by its own false pretences. How
false those pretences were, may be judged from the con-
fessions which, in its wrath, are suffered to escape. The
recent laudations of Sir JanteS• Graham, the unbounded
admiration of all the new.appointments, the confidence
that swallowed up all other considerations, were, as it
now appears, all sheer delusion upon the public. They
were humbug for party purposes. The Times was in a
very different state of feeling from that indicated by its
language."
In reference to the speedy • •
prorogation of Parliament,
the Deiby Reporter says For five months the court-
try is to be left in happy ignorance of the policy of the
new Ministry. The merchant may hesitate in his traf-
fic ; the agriculturist pause in his operations ; and, worse
than all, the millions, whose comforts are destroyed by
restricted trade and high-priced food, may toil through
the inclemency of winter, with no defined prospect of a
more propitious sun dawning on the year that is to follow
the wretchedness of the expiring one."
The Sherburne Joitent.l observes :—" The Parliament
is to be abruptly prorogued, and five winter months are
from
to be passed over without the slightest chance, or the
calling ltioe
hciosual did ittitliet
most distant hope given, of any improvement or allevia-
tion. The act involves a fearful responsibility. We be-
lieve that for this Sir Robert Peel not entirely Ito
blame ; tl}e unhappy prospect • arises out of difficulties
and
linatchbull, and Sir James Graham."
The following is froth the luverness Courier :—" There
PDrutil:entt:feßxcteicpktinbgliarmefl,..3SiiurilEigdward
is, perhaps, something . undignified in. a statesman pro-
opinions
claiming that he has to seek for information to form his
shape his ,plans. Sir Robert Peel is too
much the man of circumstances and expediency-; but Cen-
sidering the Inanii.old evils of visit legisla;:on, and tam-
perin;:,7 with the commerceof the country (by which in-
calculable mischief might be inflicted), we should feel
far more disposed to tyrant delay than to hurry on igno-
rant and hasty measures."
The Dian Mt, in an article on the Subject of the

proro,ation, remarks as follows :--" Everything post-
rCrl poncluatil mxt Set:sion—that atitouishit:g t•R.,ssion which
is VW 4,.0 is to develope a depth of resource, and a remedy for exi-
gencies in the Premier—which is to put hint at the
head of all possible Heaven-born Ministers. What is
oa ? Trade continues •its gallop to other shores,
and a destitute population are doomed to pass through a
shivering winter in still greater destitution."

A number of poor persons about to embark fur New

cruel treatment on the part of the C,aptain of the
ship Ilimakm in which they had ,engaged their pas-
sage. Mr. Ballantine behaved with great kindne:is and
generosity, as will be seen from the police report.

stealing a letter containing 58f/. in the year IS2B, was
