which certainly does not please us. We allude
to what he says about the course which the Mem-
bers of the Cabinet will pursue in the event of
their being in a minority in the ensuing Parlia-
ment. Why thus anticipate defeat? Why damp
the generous ardour of the electors of the'United
Kingdom, by telling them, on the eve of a great
struggle, that possibly defeat, and not victory,
awaits them ? Courage and self-confidence is
half the battle ; confidence in the people, when
the patriotism and self-interests of the people
are appealed to, is more than victory—it
is the annihilation of the enemy. The pre-
sent is not the time for Ministers to tell
the country the degree of fortitude with
which they are prepared to suffer poli-
tical martyrdom. They are not now fighting on
the defensive. Having carried the war into the
enemy's camp, their followers expect other dis-
courses from them than homilies on resignation,
and on the merit, if captured, of wearing their
chains with decorum. The cause which Minis-
ters support—the cause of righteousness and of
the poor—ought to infuse into them a bolder and
more determined spirit. Success, like a citadel,
may be often carried by storm. What but the
confidence which the Ministry had in the coun-
try, and which the country reposed in the Mi-
nisters, saved England from anarchy, when
the Lords threw out the first and se-
cond Reform Bills? And though some
acts of the Government have since weak-
ened the popular confidence in the liberality
of its general policy, it has only to adopt a bold
and unflinching resolution upon the Corn-laws
and Sugar duties questions, and thereupon to
challenge as its right the suffrages of the elec-
tors, to ensure the most triumphant success.

we are happy to say, generally acknowledged—it
follows as a necessary consequence, that all reli-
gious, and all moral men, are bound to demand.
its abolition, and lend the akt to abolish it.
They are, we are equally happy to say, now ge-
nerally acting on this view, and their exertions
will give a turn to the public sentiments, and to
many election contests, which will, we trust, as-
tonish the advocates of selling by false weights
and measures. Whatever may be the immediate
result, though of that we entertain sanguine
hopes, there can be no doubt that the datv iR nit
distant when venality will be extinguished
amongst electors, and honesty be as much ho-
noured in law-making as in private dealings.

We see with satisfaction that the Dublin
papers which arrived yesterday have cooled
down on the affair of the Chancellorship. They
are no longer hissing, bouncing, and spluttering,
like melted iron coming into contact with water.
No doubt the good feeling of the Irish towards

the Ministers will return as soon as the mischief-
maker's retiring speech is forgotten. It is clear
that the whole of the excitement, which has no
rational ground, has been caused by the inconsi-
derate, if not malicious, observations of Lord
PLUNKETT.

Some of the Dublin papers mention Sir M.
O'LOGHLEN, the Master of the Rolls in Ireland,
as eminently qualified to he Lord Chancellor.
Admittint his great abilities and his unsullied
character, his religion is an effectual bar to his
receiving the appointment, even if a due sense of
interest would not induce him to prefer his pre-
sent permanent Judgeship to the temporary but
higher office of the Chancellor. Though he
cannot be promoted, , he is, still suscep-
tible of an affront at the promotion of
others ; and, while he may look with com-
placency on a lawyer of such eminence as
Baron CAMPBELL being placed on the Irish
Woolsack, he would probably feel deeply mor-
tified at seeing a man taken from his own Court,
and advanced above him to a place which the
' law has forbidden him to occupy. If there were
no other consideration, what is due to Sir M.
OTOGHLEN from the present Ministers, justifies
them for not having placed any Irish Protestant
Barrister on the Irish Woolsack.

The anger of the Dublin Bar, whether simu-
lated or not, is at least misplaced. It might be
proper if the Bar of England were not open to
them. But all its honours, including the Chan-
cellorship, are; and while no Englishman, we
believe, goes to practise in Ireland, no incon-
siderable number of Irish Barristers practise at
the English Bar. To quote one instance, Mr.
CHAtILES PHILLIPS, known to every reader of
Newspapers, is an Irish Barrister, who acquired
a reputation in Dublin before he came to the
metropolis.

Baron CAMPBELL himself is one amongst
several proofs, that it is not necessary to be born
and educated in England to rise here to the
highest honours of the legal profession. They
may be claimed by the Irish, who do themselves
an injustice when they limit their ambition
to a monopoly of the professional honours of
their own country. We have not the smallest
fear,however, that the Irish Bar, or the Irish Press,
willlong see this matter in an unfavourable light.
They have received too much from the Whigs
to allow the rabid Tories, with which Dublin
abounds, to make a handle of it to stir up
against Ministers, who have always meant well
and done well for Ireland.

We are assured from the spirit which is roused
amongst the people, that the ordinary run of
politicians will miscalculate the result of the
elections. Religion and morality have come to
our aid, and the customary cant of phrases will
lose its power. The people are awake to the great
stake at issue, and where the Anti-Corn-law
candidates are not successful, even in counties
where the Pro-Corn-law men will walk over the
course for want of proper opponents, the Pro-
Corn-law men will feel, we are sure, that they
have gained no triumph. They will be sensible
that the eye of the people is on them, they will
flinch before public opinion, and some of those
who are elected monopolists will turn free-traders.
In another part of The Sun, we publish an ex-
hortation from the Baptist Community to ab-
stain from bribery. So excellent an example will
be imitated by the Clergy of the Established
Church, we have no doubt ; and bribery will be
discountenanced by the ministers of every sect.
The good cause will gain throughout the coun-
try by that, for the chief source of the strength
of the Tories is the venality of the electors.
Some religious men, we see, hesitate to embark
in politics, alleging that they are inconsistent with
religion. For theirsake let us observe, that every
bad law exists only by their power; it is the ex-
pression of the will of the community, including
them; and if they deem any law to be immoral
and unjust, they are as much bound to demand
its repeal as to abstain from cheating. If they
do not, it is kept in existence by their act, and
they are in part the authors of the guilt.
They are bound to prevent all the evil, and
promote all the good in their power; no evil is
so great as that caused by bad laws enacted in
their name, and supported by their power; and
no reprobation can be too severe for neglecting to
remove all such laws.

Now, that the law which withholds food from
the people is a most mischievous law, cannot for
one moment be doubted. It degrades, im-
Imerishes, and starves them. At the same time
t Prevents that e3MMerce between nations wh;

A tbAse weight is an abomination; a man who
puts a penny-piece under a scale, and filches an
ounce from a loaf or a pound of butter, is a mean
and despicable cheat; but the Legislature enacts
a false weight for the sale of corn, and surrep-
titiously and scandalously filches from the pur-
chaser two or three ounces on every pound of
bread; at least it does what is equivalent to that.
It does not declare that the quarter of wheat
selling for 60s. shall consist of only six bushels,
but it enacts, when the fair market price of the
quarter is only 455. that the buyer shall give
Ms. for it. Of what consequence is it to him
whether the quantity be reduced or whether the
sum he pays for it be increased ? It comes to
precisely the same end. His 60s, will only pro-
cure him a portion of the corn they would bring
if there were no Corn-law. The law then enacts
a false measure for the sale of corn, which is as
much greater an abomination than the nailing a
penny-piece beneath a scale, as the whole body
of consumers exceed the customers of any single
grocer's shop.

Such being the nature of the Corn-law—now

' • •••••;-

In the last Number of the Westminster Re-
view, now on the eve of publication, there is an
article entitled the " Dissolution," which dis-
cusses some of the leading political questions of
the day, in a succinct, searching, matter-of-fact
spirit, which cannot fail to carry conviction to
the minds of a large class of readers. Among
other subjects, the Reviewer glances at the
Penny Postage scheme, which he proves, by a
variety of statistic documents, to have been a
decidedly successful experiment; but, notwith-
standing this fact, he expresses his belief that
should the Tories come into power, the very first
thing they would do, would be " to return to
the old rates of postage." We think it by no
means unlikely they would do so, for there is no
act of folly so suicidal, but these men are ca-
pable of committing it. The experience that
makes even fools wise, passes over their heads in
vain. They are still, what they ever were, and will
ever continue to be, so long as they constitute a
party, determined foes to all the best and dear-
est interests of the people. We are far from re-
gretting this—on the contrary, we rejoice at it,
for it is our great safeguard against them.
Were Tory shrewdness equal to Tory tenacity of
purpose, we should then, indeed, have cause to
dread the faction as ge would dread a pesti-
lence ; but headstrong, presumptuous, and in-
consistent as it now shows itself, to a greater de-
gree than ever, we feel morally persuaded that,
for all its noise and bluster, it can never, for any
length of time, make successful inroads on our
rights. Were the Tories to come into power to-
morrow, they would be out again before
their first quarter's salary became due, so
thoroughly anti-national arc they in their
prejudices, and such desperate blunderers in
the mode of giving effect to those prejudices.
We do not forget their besotted resistance to the
motion for enfranchising Manchester and Bir-
mingham, and which led immediately to the Re-
form Bill; their personal insult to the QUEEN
respecting the Bed-chamber appointments
which consigned them over again to the Opposi-
tion bench ; or their curtailment of Prince AL-
BERT'S income, which was in flat, bare-faced con.
tradiction to the principles that influenced them
when they granted the QUEEN DOWAGER the
enormous sum of one hundred thousand pounds
per annum! These, and many other Tory freaks
of the like sort, are not forgotten, and have long
since satisfied all rational men of the utter impos-
sibility of the country being ever steadily or
equitably governed upon the principles of Tory-
ism. That the present Ministers have their faults
we are far from intending to deny; they have been
timid when they should have been resolute;and dis-
trustful of the people when they should have
had full confidence in them ; still, we agree with
the Westminster Reviewer, that, at the present
crisis, we should lose sight of their faults, and
" see in them only the opponents of Monopoly."
They are now engaged in fighting the battle of
the oppressed Many against the encroaching
Few ; they have placed themselves in the van
of the great popular movement against grinding
despotism ; and deserve the cordial support of
every man who aspires to the character of a good
citizen.

We have before us a copy of the Imperial Fir-
man, despatched by the Porte to MEHEMET
Am at Alexandria by the Russian steamer
Silatscla, on the Ist inst. This firman embodies
the ultimatum of the SULTAN, whose concessions
to the VICEROY are greater than those indicated
in the collective note of the Four Powers recom-
mending a modification of the former firman. It
was accompanied by a separate Imperial rescript,
fixing the amount of tribute, which we have not
received, but which tribute is stated in letters
from Constantinople of the 2d instant, to amount to
80,000 purses, or about 365,0001. British currency.
The succession is confined to the descendants of
the VICEROY hi the male line, and that line be-
coming extinct, the male children of the female
branches of MEHEMET'S family are to have no
claim to the Government of Egypt, which the
Porte is then to dispose of at its pleasure. In
the East, where the extinction of the male
branches of a family is rendered almost impos-
sible by polygamy, this limitation of the succes-
sion is by no means so important as it would be
in the West. It, moreover, tends to check a
disposition to intrigue for the supreme power
on the part of the collateral branches of the
governing family. The equalization of the in-
trinsic and extrinsic value of the coin of
Turkey and Egypt is an excellent mea-
sure, and will greatly facilitate the pro-
gress of commercial improvement. The tone
of the firman is exceedingly mild and
conciliatory, but there is one clause in
it which appears to us surrounded with peculiar
difficulty. The Porte says that on the failure
of any of the conditions which it imposes upon
the VICEROY, the whole agreement is at an end,
and the SULTAN may that moment remove him
from the Pachalic. Now who is to decide
whether MEHEMET Am has, or has not, violated
any condition of the Firman? Is a hostile
Vizier at the Divan, who hopes to be his suc-
cessor, to determine that MEHEMET Am has
conferred a rank upon an Egyptian above that
of a Colonel, and has therefore forfeited his
Pachalic ? Should the coin now current in
Egypt be found in circulation in some remote
district five years hence, is it on such a pre.
text that an ambitious favourite at Con-
stantinople is to be permitted to advance
a charge of treason against the VICEROY ? "Vr-

tLte treaties existing and which may be entered into be-
tween the Sublime Porte and friendly Powers, shall in
every respect receive their execution in the province of
Egypt also ; and all the regulations made and to be made
by the Sublime Porte, shall equally be put in practice in
Egypt, with such allowances as may be required by local
circumstance; JuStla; Mid equity.
"All taxes and revenues levied in Egypt shall be
raised in my Imperial name: As; hoWe'Ver; the Egyptians
also are subjects, of ,the Stiblirfie Pllti6; in ofciei to fife-
tect them fl-difi further vexation, the tithes, duties, and

equitable system pursued by my Government. And as
soon as the term of payment arrives, care shall be taken
that the proportion of the taxes, customs, tithes, with
other receipts and revenues of the province of Egypt,
whose amount is inserted in a special firman on the sub-
ject, shall be duly forthcoming.
" It being customary to send annually from Egypt
grain and pulse to the two holy cities (Mecca and Me-
dina), the same quantity of these, as well as of other
articles which has been hitherto sent to those cities, shall
be continued to be sent them respectively.
" My Government having resolved to ameliorate its
specie currency, which is the soul of social transactions,
and also to do it in such a way that henceforward there
shall be an invariable standard as well in respect to the
alloy as to the nominal value of each coin, I hereby per-
mit money to be struck in Egypt, but the gold and silver
moneys you arc allowed to corn shall bear my inscrip-
tion, and shall moreover be in every respect similar in
denomination, form, and value to the pieces coined in the
imperial Mint at Constantinople.
"As in the time of peace 18,000 men will be quite
sufficient for the local administration of the province of
Egypt, that number shall on no account be exceeded.
But the military and naval forces of Egypt being essen-
tially for the service of the Sublime Porte, the number
may in times of war be augmented to the extent which
may be judged proper by my Government.
" According to a rule in force soldiers enrolled in other
parts of my empire serve during five years, at the expi-
ration of which they are replaced by fresh levies. Such
being the case it would be necessary that the same rule
intact should be adopted in Egypt ; but with respect to
the duration of service the habits of the inhabitants of
Egypt will be consulted, perfect equity being in every
respect observed in their favour. Four hundred Egyp-
tian troops are to be annually sent to Constantinople.
There shall be no difference between the decorations
and the colours (flags) of the troops employed in Egypt
and those of the other troops of my Government. The
officers of the Egyptian navy also shall use the same de-
corations of rank, and the ships the same colours as those
of the imperial navy.
" The Pacha of Egypt may appoint his military and
naval officers up to the rank of colonel, but with respect
to the nomination of officers of a higher rank—viz., mir-
livas (generals of brigade), and feriks (Lieutenant-Ge-
nerals), it is absolutely necessary that you should de-
mand my permission and take my orders on that head.
" The Pachas of Egypt shall not hereafter build any
ships of war without having first asked permission of the
Sublime Porte, and obtained from it a clear and positive
authority to that effect.
" As every one of the preceding conditions is closely
attached to the hereditary privilege—should but one of
them at any time not be executed, the hereditary privi-
lege shall that instant be abrogated and cease to exist.
" Such being my sovereign pleasure on all the points
alluded to, and as you as well as your sons and descen-
dants will not fail to recognise the distinguished favour
conferred upon you, you will exert yourselves to execute
scrupulously the stipulations herein fixed, you will avoid
carefully everything like opposition, and be equally assi-
duous to ensure the welfare and tranquillity of the inha-
bitants of Egypt—shielding them from all injustice and
vexations, and will also report and apply for instructions
on all matters of importance concerning that country. It
is with this view that the present Imperial firman—
headed by my itoyal autograph, has been transcribed
and sent."

The Paris Journals of Tuesday have been received,
with an extraordinary Express front that capital, bring-
inn-. news of Thurslay's date. The Commerce announces
that France and Austria has just concluded a convert•
tion, by which the ships of the two nations, forced by
stress of weather to take elicitor In each other's ports,
are to be exempted from all harbour dues. From ea-
tracts which we have given from the French papers, in
another eolttiati, it tippeafs that Vratiec is resolved to
make the various outbreaks in the Turkish province§
subservient to the recovery of her influence in the East.
In Syria her emissaries have been actively at work since
the expulsion of the Egyptian troops from that province,
and it is notorious at Athens that the French Minister
gives every encouragement to the KING to countenance
the revolt of the Candiotes. On the other hand, Rus-
sian agents are scouring the provinces of Bulgaria, Ser-
via, Wallachia, Moldavia, and Anatolia, inciting the
Greeks to implore the protection of the Imperial Head of
their Church, the Czar Nlcnoluts. On all sides Turkey
is beset with dangers more seriou; than ever before me,
naced the continuance of her sway over any part of
Europe.
The following is the news from Paris, brought by
Extraordinary Express :
It would appear that M. Lefebvre de Bicourt, the Charge
d'Affaires of France at Buenos Ayres, has written to the Minis-
try to demand his immediate recal, new difficulties having
arisen in La Plata, which could only be settled by an appeal
to arms.
An earthquake took place at St. Pierre, iu Martinique, at
half-past six o'clock on the 9th ult.
The Duke de Nemours returned to Paris from Africa on
Monday evening.
The Monitettr promulgates the law authorising the esta-
blishment of a new line of steam packets in the Mediterranean.
The Courrier de Bordeaux publishes the speech delivered
by Espartero when elected Regent of Spain, which is nearly
word for word with that pronounced by Napoleon, in presence
of the Senate, after his appointment as Consul for life.
The intelligence from Madrid of the 16th is unimportant.
The Augsburg Gazette of the 20th states, under date Con-
stantinople the 2d, that the Pashas of Bagdad, Bosnia, and
others, had revolted, and intended to declare themselves inde-
pendent of the Central Government. It was said that the
Pacha of Bagdad, not having having succeeded in his under-
taking, had sought refuge in Persia. According to accounts
from Vienna, of the 15th, Prince Metternich would not leave
that capital before the lath July.
The Servian Government had addressed to the neighbour-
ing powers an expose of the cruelties lately perpetrated by the
Arnauts in Bulgaria. Some of the Christians had returned to
their homes, whilst others were determined to wait on the Ser-
vian territory, the arrival of the Turkish Commissioner,
Yacoub Pacha.
It was stated on the Paris Bourse that M. Humann, the
Minister of Finance, would not require a loan of more than
225,000,000 f. (9,000,0001.)
The Chamber of Peers approved en Wednesday of the
treaty of commerce lately concluded between France and
Holland.

The following extracts from Galignani of Tuesday,
and the other French papers of that date include all that
is of any interest in these Journals !
FRENCH DinomAcY.—The Constitutionnel observes
" The following eleven Ambassadors are at present in Patio,
on leave of absence from their respective posts) or have finally
quitted them :—M. de St. Aulaire, from Vienna ; M, Bream
son, Berlin ;_ the Marquis de Dalttaties Turitt M. de BUS.

Copenhagen : M. de Fontenay, Stuttgardt ; M. d'Eyragues;
Carisruhe ; M. de Sercy, Ispahan t M. de Ilois,loCointeLtlie
Hague; and M. de la Rooliefoueault, Darmstadt. The Em-
ba,stes to London, Vienna, Berlin, as Madrid, are vacant, and
Messrs. de Barante, de Pontois, de Bacourt, and de Tallenay
are shortly expected in Paris. Is it not fair to suppose that M
Guizet has resolved to carry on diplomacy without diplo-
matists ?

ANOTHER ROYAL MARRIAGE.—Paris, it is hinted in high
quarters, is soon again to become the scene of festivity, in
consequence of the marriage of a member of the Royal Family.
The exalted personage alluded to is not the Prince de Join-
ville, with a Princess of Holland, but the Princess Clementine
with the brother of Prince Albert, Consort of the Queen of
England. The King and Queen of the Belgians are to grace
the nuptials with their presence. Their Majesties are expected
in Paris in about a month hence, and preparations are already
commenced for their reception at the Tuileries.

We received the Dutch Mail last night, with
Papers from Amsterdam and the Hague. They
contain no news of importance. The KING, ac-
cording to the accounts in the Papers, was
making a tour through the province of Limburg,
and was received in every place with the greatest
enthusiasm.

The Duke of LEEDS arrived at Amsterdam on
the 21st.

THE BLACK BREAD OF GERMANY., against which the
Ignorant Tories, even that ignorant Tory who writes in
the 6biarterly Review, raves day after day, is continually
imported into England as a luxury. Scarcely a vessel
arrives from Uarnburgh but brings over one or two
loaves of their " black glutinous store," for the enjoyment
of the rich Germans, and others who have acquired a taste
for it on the Continent. We recommend the ex-Secre-
tary of the Admiralty, alias the talking potatoe, to make
inquiries at the Custom-house.
WESTMINSTER BLECTION.-Mr. Stanhope Wilkes has
addressed a letter to us as follows :

" TO THE EDITOR OP THE SUN.
" Siti,—By your paper of yesterday, I perceive you
find kith, with my political conduct, and for what ?
Trying id proveut the Whigs from having the electors
of Westminster delivered over to them bound hand and
foot. Are these the principles advocated by
.The Sun?
Surely the present Government have sufficient rotten
boroughs, without Westminster being added to their
number.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant,
" ROBERT STANHOPE WILKES.
0 June 24, 1841." -
We see no viroef that the electors of Westminster are
...tr •
handed over to the Nr bound hand and foot, or that
Westminster is to be a rotten .I"'rough. We would not
believe it of the electors, thoug.h a score ;3.tT'hStanhope
Wilkes's asserted it. Mr. Leader a but aa
s on
several Radical—the free choice of the electors, wrn.
several occasions opposed and abused the Whigs. A.
Mr. Wilkes had received a requisition to offer himself—
if he were a public man of' some celebrity, if he had a
chance of success, we should say fight out the contest ;
but Mr. Stanhope Wilkes has not been asked to become
a candidate, and he has no chance whatever of success.
The principles advocated by The Sun are, not to allow, if
we can help it, the public cause to be damaged by thel
crotchets or foolishness of individuals. The parochial
reputation of Mr. Stanhope Wilkes really gives him no
claim to represent Westminster in Parliament.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NE WS.
CITY, THURSDAY EVENING.
The Stook Market to-day wore a firm appearance, and
before the close of business prices assumed rather an upward
tendency. On the whole, however, the operations were not
of importance, being restricted In tome measure by the scar-
city of Stock. Consols were marked 89 till the close of
business, nhen they advanced to 89 a; Exchequer Bills were
0 to 9 premium, a trilling improvement; the Reduced Three-
and.a-Half per Cents. realised 98i to 98,1; and the Three per
Cents. 899 tn 89g. There were no bargains in either Bank
or India Stock.
The Foreign Market relapsed into its previous state of dull-
ness, but there was no decline in prices. Spanish Active
Bonds brought 22b; Mexican rose to 27i to ; Chilian were
steady at 81 ; Belgian touched 100 ; and the Dutch Five per
Cents. were again at 100 to 99i.
Shares were more dealt in, and some of them being pressed
on the market, gave way slightly. The more current rates
were these i—London and Birmingham, 69 ; ditto New 22i ;
York and North Midland, 21 ; South Western, 1b! ; and
Orkit Western, 241 premium. Brighton were 5R- ; Black-
wall 7 to 8 ; Cl:orient i South Eastern, 181 ; Midland
Counties, 11 ; Northern and Eastern, 10b ; and Manchester
and Leeds New, 9 discount. Midland Counties Quarter
Shares were 68 ; and Eastern Counties Debentures 2i prem.
