other placeF;' uniting themsvives with the Corn-
law repcalfirt;. what has
occurred at late meetings in the metropolis, and
from what has-fallen under our own personal ob-
servation, that the working men, here are fully
prepared not only to coalesce with the repealers,
but to exert all their energies in favour of a total
repeal. We rejoice at that, because, though we
may have contributed but a little to bring it
about, it is an Ob.ect we have continually desired
to accomplish. As a step to obtaining the
franchise, as a means of putting down some of
their most virulent enemies, the Chartists could
not take a wiser course than to unite as one man
to demand the total repeal of the Corn laws.
Just in proportion as that is a rational and wise
measure, certain persons, who are indebted for
their power and their wealth to deluding the
people, will exert themselves to hinder the
Chartists from making common cause with

the League to put down the knavery of
the rent-owners. Nor is it unexampled,
that they should find tools and traitors
amongst the working classes themselves. For
their sake, on whose incorruptibility depends
the salvation of the country, we regret to say
that the rent interest has succeeded in seducing
some of its victims to become the ministers of its
corruption. We cannot doubt, atter reading
the correspondence on this subject ; which
we have received, and after reading the
statements of "the Manchester Guardian, that
the pretended Chartists who go about promoting
the success of the Tories at elections and disturb-
ing meetings of the Corn-law repeaters, are the
hired and promised-to-be-paid tools of the rent
interest. They are the CASTLES, the °LIVERS,
and the REYNOLDS, of the Tories out of office,
who, being excluded from power, and unable
now to disguise their villany under the Royal
robes, with equal hypocrisy use the ragged
mantle of democracy for the same purpose. The
pretended friends and representatives of the
working classes, mentioned by our Corre-
spondents, are their enemies and traitors.
Instead of being respected, they should
be treated as spies. The Liverpool Chartists,
we see, have disowned the disturbers. Too long
have the people trusted, and too often have they
been betrayed ; and it will be their own fault,
after this exposure and warning, if they are -once
more deceived.

Let us remind the working classes favourable
to the Charter, that during the sitting of the
Convention it was stated that the Tories had cor-
rupted some of the pretended Chartists. The
suspicion of treachery, therefore, is not new.
Perhaps the very men who are now receiving the
gold of the Corn-law Dukes, contributed then to
make the Chartists appear ridiculous. We ad-
vert to this distinction, because we will not
blame the whole body of the Chartists for the
iniquity of these hired spies.

The industrious classes cannot do better than
follow the excellent example which has been set
by the meetings at Manchester and Liverpool.
The language of the operatives in the latter, was
exactly described by Mr. Alderman SITEIL, as
conveying, in terms which it was impossible to
surpass, sound doctrines, great principles, and the
most correct views of society. If the industrious
classes, generally, follow these examples, and
exhibit a noble spirit of union, their aristocratic
and priestly enemies will soon tremble in their

shoes. " The glorious meeting," says the Liver-
pool Mercury, " in Clayton-square, on Wednes-
day evening, shows that the working-classes arc
alive to the importance of the approaching
struggle, as it affects themselves. Let the middle
classes, the merchants, traders, and shopkeepers,
only display the same spirit and intelligence on
the day of battle, and the victory is certain.
Above all, let it ever be remembered that the
contest is not merely one between Whig and
Tory, but between monopoly and free trade, and
that the popular war-cries should be ' cheap
bread! cheap sugar !! and, down with the Corn-
laws !!! '"

The wanton and cruel despotism which for the
last s;1:-c years has been exercised by the General
Asse:r..bly of the Church of Scotland, has at last
reached such a pitch that the Legislature, as an
act of justice, and, still more, of mercy, will be
compe lied to interfere. Our English readers
have ro idea of the suffering to which the great
body .of the people, and nearly one half of the
Estab'ished clergy are.subjected by the unholy
agitati on and the ruthlesspersecution that now pre-
vail in a country long celebrated for the moral and
religious conduct of its inhabitants, and the mild
yet etficient discipline exercised by the Church.
For the last hundred years, we will venture to
say, no Church in Christendom has done so
much good, no clergy have been more exem-
plary in their conduct, and no people have ac-
quired, as it were by universal consent, such a
high character for many of those qualities that
form the ornament of civilized life. That Church
which has been one of the instruments in the
hand of Providence for regenerating a barbarous
nation, is now torn with dissensions, it is at war
with the State, and at war, too, with the great
body of the people, and unless restrained by the
civil power, will speedily complete its own de-
struction. Has the State, from which it de-
rives its existence as an Established Church,
no duty to perform -on such a fearful oc-
casion ? Can the Legislature which endowed
the . Establishment stand by while this use-
ful institution is pulled down by thelancls of mad-
men ? During the short period often days allowed
by law for their annual meeting, the General
Assembly, have deposed ten clergymen. Seven
of these were deposed at once, not for heresy, or
immorality, or any one offence, but for disoLe-
dience to an act of Assembly, which the Supreme
Civil Court in Scotland and the House of Lords
pronounced illegal. Two others were expelled
the Church on the same grounds; and a third was
expelled ostensibly for heresy, but in reality for
defeating the intrigues of the Non-intrusionists
in his own parish. One hundred and twenty-five
members voted against the deposition of the
seven ministers of Strathbogie, most of them
signed a protest against the decision, and further
intimated that they would hold communion as
usual with their persecuted brethren, and treat
the decision, in all respects, as a nullity. Unless
steps, therefore, be taken to stay the plague/
those hundred and twenty-five clergymen must
be deposed next session, for the holy inquisitors"
have no bowels' of compaSsion; they claim the
right of interpreting the will of GOD ; in the
sacred name of ClintsT they execute their deeds
of vengeance, and with impious presumption
assert that " they are-ratified in heaven." These
atrocious proceedings have naturally excited the
utmost horror in Scotland. Men of all
parties denounce them as a disgrace
ltorgthet dparne-
sent .age. On Wednesday one of the largest
most respectable meetings • ever held in Edin-
burgh took place in the AsSembly Rooms, to
express sympathy with the sufferers, and protest
against the condtiet of the General Assembly.
Lord DUNFERMLINE, the late Speaker of the
,House of Commons, was in the Chair, and was
Supported by.more than 600 gentlemen of all
Ishades.of politics. Party spirit was forgotten in
'this„great work of charity, and universal indig-
nation expressed against these disturbers of the:
once happy and peaceful Church of Scotland.
Ldrd DUNFERMLINE, evidently suffering•under
great distress for the afflicted state of the Church,
Made a powerful speech on the occasion, and.
pointed out in these words the painful condition
to -.which her clergy have been reduced :7--
‘-They are called upon to perform many important.
judicial duties, involving important rights of mdividuals,
under a conviction, perhaps. under the certainty„thatif
they go one way they will be punished by the Churcbc
and that if they go another way they will, be punished
by the Civil Court. Is not this a most cruel and un-
just test to apply to the courage and virtue of any class
of men ? From what class of men are you to expect a.
firm, faithfu4 and impartial performance of their duty,
when they have before them the almost certainty. of
punishment, and possibly the degradation of their
station, and the ,sacrifice, of. the hest and deateettirt.;
terests ortheirlatailies? What other effectwill this have
en the ministers of the Chur:h of :Scotland? It appears
to me that one of its most painful .and- distres ing effects

is the tendency it has to degrade, if it is continued, the
21,arart,Jr (Jr h:2. th;; Church Scotland.'

no means of avoiding the pains and penalties of law but
by receding or shrinking from the performance of their
duty—by stooping to every manner of equivocation—by
shuffling by every discreditable means—things which
have no e:zistence at resent, but which certainly will
grow up if this state of things is maintained and perse-
vered in."

Sir JAMES GIBSON CRAIG also addressed the
meeting, not with the mildness of the Noble
Chairman, but with the ardour and rigour which
have characterized him during his long life when
resisting oppression.

" I never knew an instance," said he, even in the
most atrocious case that ever came before the General
AsseMbly, where sentence was passed on persons who
had committed the most immoral acts—l never knew a
case where sympathy was not expressed for such persons
—where regret was not professed to be felt. But in this
case there was no sympathy. The Rev. Doctor who
moved the resolution, came forward, and in the most
cold-blooded, heartless manner—(Tremendous cheering)
—moved a vote of deposition against these gentlemen,
because they had dared to obey the law."

The sentiments expressed at the meeting were
but a specimen of the general feeling in Scot-
land. Never, on any one occasion, was there
such a wonderful unanimity among the writers
of the public press as on this subject. With
the exception of one or two newspapers, and
one of these has sprung up during the Non-
Intrusion mania, all are opposed to the conduct
of the dominant party. We have eleven Scotch
papers of last week before us, Whig, Tory, and
Radical, and they vie with one another in de-
nouncing the cold-blooded, heartless inquisitors.
Our readers will judge for themselves from the
extracts given in another column. We trust
that the Legislature will not lag behind public
opinion. If no immediate Act is passed to re-
lieve the people of Scotland from this thraldom,
we confidently trust that the subject will at least be
brought forward both in the House of Lords and
Commons without delay, and that an expression
of their sentiments will convince these men that
the safety of the Church of Scotland is not to be
risked with impunity.
The Assembly, towards the conclusion of its
proceedings, appointed a day in the next month
to be observed as a day of fasting, humiliation, and
prayer. The hypocrisy and malignity of these
men are exceeded only by their impudence.
Frightened by the arm of the civil power, which
they set at defiance, they also appointed a depu-
tation to proceed to London and lay their case
before our most gracious SOVEREIGN. Though
in their wild rhapsodies they boast that CHRIST
is the only head of their Church, they now flee
to the head of the English Church for protec-
tion, and vainly imagine that the QUEEN will
shield rebels. We know not what answer Lord
MELBOURNE will give to their application for
admission to the presence of the SOVEREIGN,
but we know that if he were to address them in
words like the following, he would acquire the
gratitude of many thousands of her MAJESTY'S
subjects :—" You made a law for your own sel-
fish purposes. You appealed for a confirmation
of that law to the highest legal authorities of the
realm—your appeal was unanimously rejected—
you still obstinately resist these authorities, and
punish your unoffending brethren for yielding
obedience to them; and till you repent in sack-
cloth and ashes for the great calamities you have
brought on the Church of Scotland, her MA-
jesty can hold no conference with you."

Sir R. PEEL has declared more than once in
the House of Commons that the prosperity of
manufactures is a better security for the prospe-
rity of agriculture than the Corn-laws. That both
rise and fall together, and that their prosperity is
mutual and reciprocal, is an opinion as old, in
England atleast, as the time of CHARLES the Se-
cond. All Anti-Corn-law men accordingly main-
tain that the repeal of the Corn-laws, whatever
might be its effect on the rent interest, or on
mortgagees,would be as beneficial to the working
agriculturists as to the manufactitrers. Such are
the doctrines and hopes of the Anti-Corn-law
party, and they would not injure or destroy any
part of the com:nunity.

Not so the Tories and Corn-law monopolists.
They would, and they avow it, destroy our ma-
nufactures. We formerly called attention to the
suggestion in the Quarterly Review, that halt
our towns might be destroyed without injury to
the community. In the same spirit the Standard
of Saturday said, "ENGLAND WOULD BE AS GREAT
AND POWERFUL, AND ALL USEFUL ENGLISHMEN
WOULD BE AS RICH AS THEY ARE, THOUGH ONE

RUIN SHOULD ENGULPH ALL THE MANUFACTURING
TOWNS AND DISTRICTS IN GREAT BRITAIN." Those
who think so, and at the same time write dia

tribes against the cotton lords, would, if they
had the power, destoy our manufacturing towns
and manufacturing population. It is with malice
prepense, therefore, that such men maintain the
Corn-laws. They aim at starving the manu-
facturing population out of existence. How
different are the principles, and how different
the results of free trade and of monopoly !
One is all benignity and kindness, cement-
ing individuals and nations in bonds of
peace and amity, and producing ease, abund-
ance, and happiness. The other is all hatred
and cruelty, pitting class against class, and
nation against nation, and producing constraint,
poverty, famine, and misery. The one is of
Heaven heavenly, the other is of Hell and is

hellish. Between these two systems, between
good and evil, between life and death, between
liberty, genuine liberty, and cruel tyranny, the
people are now called on to choose. However.

the ignorant, deluded, priest-ridden, and land-
lord-led serfs on the land; may choose, the in-
habitants of manufacturing towns cannot choose
monopoly without sanctioning that destruction
to which the Corn-law Tories have vowed them.

The meeting of the working men at Liverpool,
the speeches of the Chairman, of Mr. RATHEONE,
Mr. JONES, and others, require the attention of
the public. In particular the aristocracy and our
leading politicians ought to read them, in order
to understand, if possible, what is going on in
the minds of the great multitude. What the
men at Liverpool express is felt, we believe, by
the great majority of the working classes; and it
puzzles us to conceive how our present system
can be preserved, without great alterations. Are
the multitude to be ruled in conformity to, or in
spite of, their opinions? Hitherto they have
been favourable to the system. Fifty years have
not yet elapsed since they were nearly
one and all Church and King men. They
were ruled then in conformity to their
opinions. Since then their minds have under-
gone a gradual change, and now such a

ng as a staunch Church and King man is al-

most unknown amongst the working classes. We
ask the West Indians, we supplicate the aristo-
cracy, we implore the Bishops, to' ponder over
the sentiments of the Liverpool operatives, be-
nefited as they have been by numerous high
Church meetings, held in that town, and inquire
of their own hearts and consciences whether
there is any possibility, we do not say probabi-
lity, of maintaining their monopolies and privi-
leget -except by the sword, even if that be
posSible, and by establishing a ruthless military
tyranny ? Freedom, perfect freedom—and ty-
ranny, perfect tyranny—are now brought into
collision. The mind cannot enter into a com-
promise between these opposing principles—the
moral light and darkness of society. One or
other must conquer and we say, though the
Weg Indians, the Peers, and the Bishops
perish in the conflict, success to freedom

Marshal SOULT resigned office on Saturday, and
another Ministerial. interregnum may be said to have
commenced in France. The resignation of the Marshal
was the result of a trifling Ministerial mistake. In the
Chamber of Peers on Friday an amendment was carried
upon the Recruitment Bill passed by the Chamber of
Deputies. As the Deputies have closed their sessional
labours, this amendment., though of no moment, is fatrl
to the 13111, which must be postponed for another year.
The amendment was proposed •by General D'Am-
nnuomt.x, and supperted, among others, by the Duke
of ORLEANS. Novi the object of the Peers in carrying
this amendment, was not so much to embarrass the
Government .as to resent the Seeming' con-
tempt with which, as a branch of the Legislature, they
are treated by the Representatives of the people. For se-
veral years past it has been the custom of the Chamber of
Deputies to pass a number of important Bills, send them
up to the Peers, and adjourn ; thus in some sort com-
pelling the Peers to adopt them without amendments, or
to incur the odium of rejecting them, and.so throwing
the affairs of the country into confusion. The Peers in-
dignant at being made mere registrars of the votes of the
Deputies, have taken the present opportunity of assert-
ing their independence. Now, as the Government knew
right well beforehand the determination of the Peers, it
was an easy matter to have kept the Chamber of Deputies
sitting while any Bills were under discussion in the
Chamber of Peers.. When it became known on Saturday
that a Ministerial crisis had arrived, the Peers adjourned
till Wednesday, to allow the Government time to deli-
berate upon the course which it might think proper to
adopt under such circumstances.

Marshal SOULT was so ill on Saturday as to be unable
to attend the Chamber of Peers. Ha was greatly incensed
against the Duke of ORLEANS for voting for the amend-
ment upon the Recruiting Bill.

Lord BROUGHAM arrived on Thursday night in Paris
from Italy, and on Friday started again for England.
We are happy to learn that his Lordship enjoys robust
health.

• The inaugural address of M. VICTOR litco as a
Member of Lhe French Academy, appears in most of the
Paris Journals of Friday. The assemblage of the Aca-
demicians on Thursday to receive the new Member way
very numerous. Many ladies of high rank were among
the crowd of visitors.

The lifoniteur announces that the Calypso frigate and the
corvette Favourite sailed from Brest cn the 3d inst., the former
for Toulon, and the latter for the China seas.
The Journal du Peuple and the Abnanack des Honnetes
Gens were seized by order of the Prefect of Police on Thur.aday
last.

The Commerce announces that the Doke de Montebello, the
present Ambassador of France at Naples, would positively suc-
ceed Count St. Aulaire as Ambassador at the Court of Vienna,
and that M. Bois le Comte, the French Minister at the Hague,
would proceed in the came capacity to Madrid.
The SentineLe des Pyrennees has the following article,
dated the Ist of June :

"M. Ganicho Iturbida was arrested the day before yes-
terday at St. Jean de Luz, by order of superior authority. He
is at this moment in the prison of Bayonne, vthere he :s kept
entirely secluled. We will not repeat the various accounts
which are given of this arrest ; we have received nothing official
on the subject, but it is certain that the grounds of it must
be extremely important, since the gendarme who .as to
take the order for the arrest to St. Jean c.e Luz, was enjoined
to make all possible haste,_ and actually performed the journey
in fifty-five minutes."—Le Constitntionnel.

Madrid Papers of the 29th ult. have come to hand.
On the previous day the Minister of Justice brought for-
ward a Bill for the maintenance of the Clergy, which
was referred to a Committee. This Bill divides Spain
and her adjacent ►possessions into as many dioceses as
there are civil provinces, with the exception of the
Basques, :which are to constitute only one Bishopric.
" The Archiepiscepal sees," says one of the Journals
in giving a summary of the Bill, " are eight
in number—viz., Madrid, Seville, Granada, Valencia,
Barcelona, Saragossa, Burgos, and Corinna. The salary
of the Primate is fixed at 90,00,0 reels, that of the seven
other Archbishops at 60,000, and of the Bishops at 30,000.
The latter are 39 in number ; the parish priests of the
Ist class 9,000, ditto of the 2d class 4,000, of the 3d
class 1,500, and of the 4th 500, besides 7,000 coadjutors.
The parishes are laid down at 15,000. The upper clergy
is to cost 12,216,000 reals per annum ; the parochial
clergy, 109,000,000 ; the seminaries, 4,000,000 ; and the
supplementary clergy, 14,200,000—in all 139,416,000
reals."

The Bill for regulating military pensions was occu-
pying the serious attention of the Deputies. It prc-
poses salaries to 6,676 officers, amounting to 30,862,350
reals, namely, 209 colonels, 179 lieutenant-colonels,
348 commandants, 1,780 captains, 2,150 lieutenants,
1,770 sub-lieutenants, and 240 surgeons and almoners.
On the Madrid Exchange on the 28th ult. bargains to the
amount of ten millions of reals were transacted in the Fives
at '27 for cash, 27 and 28* at various dates. Two
bargains in the coupons to be capitalized for two millions of
reals were done at 224 22a for the 31st of. May and the 30th
of July. On the 29th 31,600,000 reals were eone in the Fives
at 2CL 27 26& for cash, and 27i for 60,days.

Mr. Pielden and General Johnsen deserted the Minis-
ters on the late division, when the Ministers. were acting
rightly. That the monopolists should forsake them was
to be expected, but that the friends of free trade and
cheap food should stand aloof in the hour of trial, ap-
pears to us wholly unwarrantable. •

Far•.E TRADE.—A great meeting was held in the Bel-
fast Theatre on Wednesday, to consider the measures
proposed by the Government for the reduction of duties
on corn, sugar, and timber. Lord Charlemont was in
the chair. Some excellent speeches were made on the
occasion (for which we cannot find room to-day) and
strong reso!utions were passed in favour of all the Go-
vernment mnsures. The people of Ireland appear to
have an absolute horror of a Peel Administration.

The approaching renewal of the debat e in Parliament, which
may be properly termed a trial of 1 strength between the
two great political parties that divide the House, is almost
the h ading topic of conversation. in the , City at present,
and as it is welt known that it inta.,,t terminate against the Mi-
nistry, some impatience is manifested as to its duration. It
appears to he admitted, however, that it is good generalship on
the part of Lord John Russell.
The commercial advices by the Ste) 'lien Whitney are not by
any means what cur merchants eon td desire. The dreadful
anarchy that prevails among the bankir tg institutions of America
has almost uprooted and destroyed pi- thlic confidence, and the
failure of one or two States to pay ti to interest on their debts,
helps to finish what the disgraceful fall of the Bank of the
United Sta•es had !eft undone. •

is DAY.)

The Court was occupied all day the arguments of
Counsel in the case of the Dean of N ork, in showing cause
against toe rule for a prohibition obtained du ring the last term.
The ground on which the rule had bee n obta fined was the want
of jurisdiction on the part of the Corm nirsar y, Dr. Phillimore,
to deprive the Dean of his ecclesiastical prate rments.
The Attorn2y-General was addressing 5r e Court when we
went to press, and the case is likely to 0.,:cr./ the Court for two
or three clays.

Yesterdcy morning, about six 0 ', clock, -the fol-
lowing fetal accident occurred in the C: and Surrey Canal,
near Peckham-fields. Three young_ 'men, ' named Fitzgerald
Hayward, and Jackson, residing in F.aet-la ae, Walworth,- went
into the canal to bathe. , They •ha I all o ' them got out of
• the water when. Fitzgerald said he would have another swim
across the canal, and accordingly again w, Int in, but he had
scarcely reached the Middle when he sudd only cried out and
sank. Hayward, perceiving this, plunged into the water, and
swam to his assistance, and succeeded in g etting hold of him,
but he grasped kith so tightly, that he was It isnself in danger
' of being nr,)wnetl, and was obliged to sh acc him off, and
could not again find him, although he div, •d after him re-
peatedly. An alarm was given and. the (Ira gi s were procured
from Mr. Hayward's, of the King's. Arms, l ni t three-quarters
of an hour elapsed ere the body was found .• He was con-
veyed to the King's Arms, where every mear A were used to re-
store life, but from the time he was uric's A. water, all efforts
were useless. A few minutes afterwards ail, alarm was given
that another man was drowning ie ' the cat gal.. Mr. Coulton,
of the Surrey Canal-house, promptly- atte• ,Sl9 sr. svith the drags,
and in about five minntcs succeeded in g,ettil n him out.
THIMBLE-RIGGERS AT A!sCC, r. —From the

The order is to construct eighty tall' e 9, eig bteen inches square,
