from these and similar circumstances that the ►

foundadon for improvement proposed to be
laid by Sir ROBERT PEEL, with a view gradually
to ameliorate the state of society, mainly con-
sist in an increase of priests and churches.
The WW2- scheme of education will give into
the hands of the Tories the ends of a great net,
in which they may catch the whole public mind.
Sir R. PEEL. means, we believe, to drill society,
if he be uAlowed, into Toryism. By the help of
schools and priests he will model the national
mind according to the aristocratic scheme of
what is good for mankind. We shall watch the
Tory proceedings, but our present impression is
that the design and intention of Sir R. PEEL is to
try and fashion society into a form agreeable to
the Tories, and keep it in that form. Hunger
he probably thinks may tame JOHN Bum. as
well as a lion, and, by means of the hunger to
which the Legislature dooms the people, he
hopes to subdue all refractory spirits and esta-
blish in the land for evermore the unquestioned
dominion of the Tories and the clergy.

It is not.very easy to say anything new on the
Corn-laws, yet Mr. THORNELY, in his excellent
speech on Monday evening, did state two new
arguments against the sliding scale. First, he
showed that it virtually abrogated our commer-
cial treaty with America. With that republic
we have a treaty which pledges us to place them
on the same footing as the most favoured nation,
Of course, therefore, our corn market should be
open to the merchants of New York, on the
same terms as those of Hamburgb. But the
effect of the sliding scale, and the mode of work-
ing the average,-is to exclude the United States
from our corn market, and place it in the hands
of the Russians and the Prussians. While we
may be inundated with wheat from Rostock
or Stettin. or St. Petersburgh, not a grain
can come in from New York. It...is
impracticable to enter cargoes from such
a distance, though ordered in anticipation of a
rise in prices, with the chance of their arriving
here when the duty on wheat may be 258. the
quarter. Hence the sliding or jumping scale is
an injustice to the United States, and abrogates
our commercial treaty with that country.
Secondly, Mr. TnonNELv.remarked that the
sliding scale, contrary to all the principles of
political science, imposes the heaviest duty on
the lowest priced article. By the last week's
returns the average weekly price of a quarter of
wheat is 71s. 2d., and the duty is ls., while the
average weekly price of a quarter of oats is
235. 6d., and the duty is 245. Thus the lowest
priced commodity is subjected to the highest
duty, and the highest priced the lowest. The
same remark may be. extended to wheat itself.
The duty diminishes as the price rises, while on
mast commodities the duty is proportionable to
their value. All ad valorem duties are levied on
this principle. The Corn-laws, therefore, equally
violate the principles of political science and of
political honesty. Mr. THORNELY put these and
several other points very neatly and forcibly,
which makes us regret that a gentleman who
speaks so much to the purpose does not speak
oftener.

Lord STANLEY " spoke for and hour and
twenty-two minutes," says the Manchester
Guardian, at his nomination on Tuesday last.
His speech was little more, however, than a re-
petition of his speech at the general election.
He professes, in addition, a great admiration of
Sir R. PEEL, whose arguments, as well as whose
manners, he seems to have adopted. He is like
the Baronet, a stout defender of the present
Corn-law, in which he acknowledges no imper-
fection ; and, like the Baronet, he ascribes the
distress of the manufacturers to their great acti-
vity and wonderous skill, contrary to the philo-
sophy of TURGOT, SMITH, and SAY. His Lord-
ship concludes that the vast capability of produc-
tion in this great commercial country will
for ever cause periodical fluctuations—a
most hopeless and cheerless doctrine, which
implies that the more we advance in knowledge,
skill, and power, the more we shall be exposed to
such disasters as now overwhelm us. Fortunately
for mankind, Lord STANLEY'S reasoning is no
more conclusive, and no better founded, than that.
of Sir ROBERT PEEL ; and, great masters as they
both are of words, they never will convince the
public that production leads to distress, that the
use of machinery curtails wealth, and that com-
merce, of which the principle is- to spread all the
productions of mankind equally over all, leads to
fluctuations.

Lord STANLEY met, in Mr. JOHN BROOKES, from
Manchester, with a stubborn questioner, who ex-
torted from the Noble Lord an admission that the
Corn-laws increased rent; but the Noble Lord en-
deavoured most painfully to shuffle out of the con-
clusion that the increase of rent was at the expense
of the people. His Lordship had so much of Mr-
BROOKES that he appealed to the Sheriff whe-
ther there should not "be some limit to the
questions." His Lordship managed, by the aid
of his friends, to silence Mr. BROOKES, if he
could not answer him. His Lordship was elected
without further trouble or opposition.

The Paris journals of Monday have all reached us, but
the express received on Tuesday from Paris enabled us
to anticipate much of their contents in our Afternoon
Edition. In the National we find the following brief re-
port of the disturbances in the capital :
The crowds were more numerous, bat quite as insignificant
on Sunday evening as the preceding days, The curious were
the majority, and at seven o'clock there was scarcely room
to pass on the Boulevard, and in the Rue St. Martin.
From time to time cries of " Deem with the police !" were
heard. A police agent, in plain clothes, who had just ar-
rested a young man, was surrounded, and forced to loose
his hold of the prisoner; having been disarmed, he
would have probably undergone rough usage, had he not
taken refuge in a wine shop. Some discharges were made by
the horse municipal guard. We are informed that several of
the curious were wounded, among whom were some women.
At half-past ten the crowd had dispersed. We have heard of
nothing serious having taken place during the evening. We
learn that several citizens were wounded. A young man who
had been pierced by the bayonet of a municipal guard, was
carried to the Hospital St. Louis in a hopeless state.
The speeches of Lori Jonx RUSSELL GIBI Sir ROBERT
PEEL, in the Homo of Commons, are commented upon
in several of thr,-French Journals. The Presse discovers
in the homage paid to France by all parties in England,
the best j'roof, if proof were wanted, that France
has lost none of her influence—nothing of her ascend-
anc7—and that the importance of her alliance is as much
felt now as it ever was. The Presse is correct upon this
point. England never under-rated th.; influence of France,
nor does she now. The only parties who discovered
that France was reduced to the proportions of a second-
rate Power were M. TRIERS *and his colleagues, and the
then French Ministerial journals. They—not England—
represented France as weak and dishonoured. The
birds that fouled the nest were reared in it. The
article of the Courrier Francais is worth quot-
ing, because it embraces a point with ref&
rence to the personal influence of the KING, which is
more or less dwelt upon in most of the other Journals. It
might perhaps be as wise on the part of English Mem-
bers of Parliament not to distinguish so carefully be-
tween the inclinations of the King of the French and the
wishes of his subjects. Our Gallic Contemporary's hint
with regard ti. this is worth being attended to.
" In the Debate of the 17th, in the House of Commons,
Sir Robert Peel and Lord John Russell gave utterance to
worts which do them both infinite honour. These two states-
men protested with a generous indignation against the foul
attempt on the life of the Duc d'Aurnale. Friends or
enemies to France, every political man must cherish the same
feeling. We must, however, remark on the manner in
which Sir Robert Peel worded his admiration of the King
of the French. We do not like to see foreigners professing
the opinion that the preservation of peace is due to the per-
• sonal influence of King Louis Philippe, as in that ease France
is supposed to wish for war at any hazard, and her King to
preserve peace at any price. Such a contradictory tendency
lof the Sovereign and the people cannot be allowed to exist in
matters of any import.

Sir ROBERT PEEL has told us, " that all the
Legislature could lope to do is to lay the. foun-
dation for improvements which would snake a
gradual amelioration in the state of s ociety."
The _Morning Post is the Journal roost fa-
voured with Sir ROBERT PEEL'S contid,:mce. It
speaks his sentiments, tells beforehand what he
is going to do, and is the organ of his opinions.
Whatever falls from it, therefore, concerning
,‘ the foundation for improvements which may
make a gradual amelioration in society" is
worthy of public attention.

For some time past the Post has been a diligent
advocate of the Church of England, and it yester-
day quoted with approbation in one of its 'Leaders
a work by a Mr. PALMER, in which lie says
6,000 additional clergy are at this moment requi-
site in England and Wales. Mr. PALM2R Points

" Between two nations equal in power and in riAts,
peace is the result of mutual moderation in the Govern-
ments, and not of the influence of individuals. If England,
instead of dece,ving France, as she lately did, cultivates
our friendship and respects our interests, war is impos-
sible. But, let it be remembered, if the line of conduct
first marked oat by the Treaty of the 15th July be continued
in, no Government will prevent all France from rushing to
arms. To praise our Government,' whilst the rights of the
French people are, at the same time outraged, is not making
it is only rendering us mistrustful of our rulers."

The Advertiser says :—" Where is now the boasted
balance of powers in the British Constitution ? The •
wishes of the Sovereign, personal and political, che-
rished from her earliest age, and grown strong in her
more mature judgment, are set at nought ; the wishes •
and wants of the people, concurring to the same eetit
as those desired by the Monarch, are nut •nly set at
nought, but scouted with contunwly and scorn ; while a
band of obligarchs reign supreme over both Sovereign and
people, without even deigning to explain the terms upon
which their tyrannic sway is to be administered er endured.
Are we wrong in charaCterising such a phase of the
British Constitution as a most contemptible caricature ?
The fact strikes too home and too grievously. uon
the conviction to admit of either doubt or dental.'----
There is, indeed, no denying the fact that the aristocracy
now possess, and will most assuredly exercise, the same
despotic power that they possessed during the reign of
the boroughmongers. They then wrought mischief by
means of the Gattons, Old Sarums, and East Re tfords ; they
now work it by means of the Chandos clause. In fact,
they are once again firmly seated in the saddle, and will
never be unhorsed, except by some such vigorous, united
determination, on the part of the people. as carried the
Reform Bill. And this determination, forced on by in-
exorable necnsityla will manifest itself, ere long, for Re-
form, at present, is a mere cipher---a name, not a thing—
a shadow, not a substance.
• The Chronicle contains • the following remarks sug-
gested by the Corn-laws :—" " More time, more time,'
is still the cuckoo cry of the Tories. And while the To-
ries are taking time, the monopolists are taking money.
There is no suspension of the Corn-laws or, import
duties while Sir Robert Peel is considering. The bread-
tax returns upon the poor man every Wesl time, unless
the time return without the meal. The landlord allows
not the delay which is claimed by the Atnister. At
this very moment a loaf of bread in London costs just
twice the price of a loaf of equal size and quality in
Paris. Toe Spitalfields weaver pays tenpence for Ins
fivepenny worth of bread while Sir Robert Peel is taking
time to consider. And this consideration is to endUre
for months. This extortion is to endure for months.
Whether Parliament be sitting or prorogued, that goes
on just the same."

We quote '4,tie following from the Post :—" If we may
judge from the variety of delusive, and even false state-
ments, with which the ex-Ministerial party endeavour to
mislead the public mind, they are very much at a loss
for any valid matter of objection to the proceedings of
the present. Gcvernment."—God knows there are valid
objections enough to be urged against the Tory Ministry!
We f.fejeet to them—and so does every right-thinking
:fan in the community who is not jaundiced by preju-
dice—that they are anti-Reformers under the flimsy
disguise of Reformers ; that they have deluded us on the
Corn-law question ; .and practised a gross fraud on the
people, by turning out the Whigs on the pretext that
they had done little or nothing-during the Session ; and
then forcieig themselves into cflices and, if posible; doing
still less. We object to them, moreover, that they are
men, not of principle, but of. expediency ; and that the
only man among them all whose straitforward character
may he depende on, is the only one who holds no office,
and is consequently irresponsible.
The Herald twacidles with its usual happiness on the
subject of the Corn-laws, observing:—" A repeal of the
Corn-laws is sought that the legitimate influence of the
landed interest may be destroyed, and that coarseness,
vulgarity, and despotic democracy may rule the roast.
The " standard of rent" is said to be " lowering the
standard of everything else in the kingdom ;" and rent
must • therefore he got rid of. Home grown corn is
valueless; all that we want are home made cottons. The
landlords are the support of Conservatism, and there-
fore landlords must be
.destroyed ; if a repeal of the
Corn-laws should nut realise .that destruction, the Ra-
dicals would then demand an agrarian law. The
creed of Radicalism has become as terse as was that of
the great enemy of Carthage; rent must be destroyed."—
Nonsense like this is unworthy even of the ll7rald. Is
it likely that such vast landowners as the Dukes of Bed-
ford and Devonshire, Earls Spencer, Radnor, Fitzwil-
Ham, and others of the great Whig aristocracy, Would
like to see rent destroyed, and so reduce themselves
from affluence to comparative poverty? And yet these
men are all opposed to the present Corn-laws— all equally
anxious with the Radicals for a material alteration in
the impost !
The following is from the Dublin Pilot:—" We have
now the prescription of the state quack, and it consists in
—nothing. Postponement, postponement—humbug, dis-
honesty—in the Minister—ruin to the nation. How the
charlatan wasted himself upon the question of a few thou-
sands' expenditure, while the House and country were
breathless to know what secret of public salvation had
this state doctor ready which could warrant him in re-
moving men who proposed a plan for the object, and in-
sulted and outraged the country, by involving it in a
desperate struggle, if lie had not something tangible of
-his own to substitute for that which he superseded."
The Devonshire ChronitL says—" What the British
nation may choose to endure, we are not aware ; but that
any civilized nation will treat the Peel Cabinet with cor-
dial respect, is morally impossible ; the means by which
they obtained power is as well known in other parts of
the world as they are here, and the Government will un-
derstand and weigh their value to a very great nicety ;
we shall very soon witness a change in our foreign rela-
tions, which will show the value that is set upon Eng-
land, under a bigotted and despbtic rule."
The Brighton Guardian comments as follows on Sir
Robert Peel's course of policy :--" He is placed,in power
to preserve the aristocracy and our aristocratic institu•
tions, and he will act on this principle as long as possible.
His office is that of resisting the onward march of de-
mocracy, not of submitting to time and circumstances ;
and he will quietly resist it as long as he can. He will
now. do nothing, therefore, till he learns what are exactly
its demands, and what is its power."

ashore, when he found, on examination, that it was right

its mouth, which had doubtless been dropped by some
person into the river, and which must have occasioned its
vagaries."—Father Matthew should administer the tem-

The proprietors at large, in the many impottant questions
brougit coottnually under the notice of the Court, by one or
two of the more persevering members of their body,
questions, too, which everywhere out of doors excite
the greatest interest and attention. We may take as an
instatce the case of the Raja. of Sahara, which has been al-
most entirely supported and canvassed. pro et con., by
about a dozen Proprietors, although thous nds have fol-
lowed the arguments in print with avidity and warm,h
of feeling. In fact, too many of the Proprietors are apt
to rely upon the accounts published in the public jour-
nals, which, able as they are, ,ce no more intended to save the
personal attendance of those Proprietors who can be present,
than the Parliamentary debates are meant to justify the Mem-
bers in absenting themselves from their duties.

• ADELAIDE. GALLERY.
NEW SYSTEM OF MNEMONICS.
We last night received a lecture upon. the new system
of artificial memory devised by Major Beniowski, and
the results of which, as manifested in his own, expe-
rience, were exhibited on Tuesday to the company as-
sembled at the Adelaide Gallery. On Tuesday the ex-
positions of the new system were confined to displays of
the Professor's own powers, and they proved nothing
whatever as to the possibility of imparting to others the
same facility of recollection, or the same permanence of
remembrance, which the Lecturer himself possessed. We.
have for many years attended to the mechanical systems
projected by benevolent and philosophical men for aiding
the memory, upon the principle' of association, which
Kant has clearly shown to be altogether chimerical.
With respect to Major Beniowski, we must pre-
mise that on one occasion the writer of these
remarks did accuse him, but not by name, of being
an agent of Russia. The circumstances under which the
accusation was made warranted the accusation. Other
facts have come to our knowledge, which convince us that
the charge was founded in malignity, .and we have the
assurance of a Noble Lord, whose affections for Poland
cannot be doubted, that no Pole who suffered in the Re-
volution of 1830 dared more, or suffered more, than the
calumniated Major. - It cannot be questioned by his most
intimate friends that the course of conduct which he
thought proper to adopt in the political crisis of this
country was signally wrong; but his heroic and gal-
lant conduct on the 25th of April, 1830, when he went
over under a heavy fire from the Russian ranks, in which
he served as Major, to the ranks of his compatriots, and
has proved by his subsequent conduct, under all the
horrors of poverty and slander, at once his fidelity and
his folly.
The subject of Major Beniowski's lecture on Tues-
day was the application of mechanical artifices to the
assistance of the mind, in the retention of facts and
numbers. He proved to a large audience that he had
himself acquired a vast power of bringing to his present
recollection the images of past events, and recalling to
his mind those representatives of numerical forces which
the Arabians understood, and the Franks conventially
misused. We have heard the lectures of Von Feinaigle,
and we have often laughed at his combinations of wis-
dom, hypocrisy, and chicanery. None who heard him,
could doubt that in some parts of his expositions he was
sincere ; but, at the same time, it was evident that an
ignorant man was propounding crude notions, which he
himself had not mastered. A society was formed for
the purpose of carrying out the views of Von
Feinaigle, and it failed in every particular in
which Mnemonics had a part. There is upon the
books of Dublin College abundant proof that the school
of the Luxembourg call produce scholars equal to any
competition which the severe and trying examinations
of .that University may subject them to. But we are
aware of this, that it is not owing to Feinaigle's system
of Mnemonics, but to the constant practice of Hamilton's
maxim, " teach not in order to learn," the extraordi-
nary proficiency of the pupils is to be attributed. We
have always regarded systems of Mnemonics as merely
adapted to particular formations of mind in which the
same results would be produced without the intervention
of the same media. We have no doubt, indeed we are
convinced from our own experience, that adventitious aids
can be given to the memory, but we have very gri at
doubt, mat any system may be devised by which an un-
instructed mind will be enabled to treasure up and record
facts which are communicated with a peculiar association.
If we could go into a detail of the many instances in which
the pupils of the Luxembourg have surpassed their
competitors in the Dublin University. their superiority
may be more justly attributed to their own powers of
applicability than to any psychological virtue in the
system. One part of the system of Von Feinaigle was,
that the facts should be remembered by an association
with localities and form ; if you had to remember a song
of Captain Morris, you must inscribe every verse upon
the step of an altar, and if you desired to treasure up in
your mind the whole of the " Fudge FaMily," you must
impale every member upon a croessette or a pointelle of
the imperial diadem. In the lecture with which we were
last night favoured, we heard enough to convince us
that Beniowski has simplified the system of Mnemonics,
and if we perceive by future observation that he has
reduced the art of mechanical memory to the dignity of
a science, we shall not fail to do him perfect justice.

EX PRESS FROM PARIS

FRANCE.

Our accounts from Paris, dated Tuesday, state that a
rassemblentent took place at the Porte St. Martin on
Monday night, which was charged and dispersed by the
Municipal Guard without any difficulty. No assemblage
occurred that evening at any other point.
The troubles of which the census was the pretext ap-
pear to be completely at an end. At Milhau, in the de-
partment of Aveiron, however, some riots occurred on
the 15th, in which the King's Attorney was dangerously
wounded, and the operation of the
.census had to be sus-
pended.
The National and Gazette de France were seized
on Monday.
On the 19th and 20th inst. the Savings' Banks of
Paris received 473,387 f., and reimbursed 598,000 f.
The Chamber of Peers assembled on Tuesday, in order
to constitute itself into a Court of Justice, to try the
authors of the attempt against the lives of the Dukes of
Orleans, Nemours, and Aumale.
The price of corn advanced during the last week in
almost all the markets from which Paris derives
its supplies. Flour increased one franc per sack on
Monday, and the sales amounted to 1,800 sacks. At
Thrdeaux, Orleans, Pout I'Abbe, and St. Malo, the price
of wheat had fallen.
The receipts of the Octroi of Paris, in 1840, exceeded
31,000,000 f.

MORE TORY PRAISE OF MR. WARLEY.—" Some there
may be who, like Mr. Wakley, will surmount the despi-
cable trammels of partisanship, and dare to avow the
honest truth, even though it should be complimentary to
opponents. Indeed Mr. Wakley's manly and upright
acknowledgments, respresenting as he does a large Übe.
ral constituency, who may he less prepared to do that
strict justice to Sir Robert Peel's Ministry which their
Hon. Member's conscientious convictions extort from
him, are deserving of all praise. Not that we imagine
Mr. Wakley to have desert( d his principles, or to have
become a Tory—no such thing—but that, freeing him-
self ffoin mean party prejudices, he has nobly borne his
testimony to the fait-AK:1; and integrity of those to whom
on many, points he is still conscientiously opposed.
Anything of this sort from the Whigs an .I.ltvealers is
of course hopeless ; but, sooner or later. Mr.Va.2;7's
honesty will be extensively imitated notwithstanding."—
Times. That. praise was bestowed yesterday for Mr.
Wakley's exertions of previous nights. Last night the
Hon. Member regularly avowed himself Sir R. Peel's
champion. To day, of course, more praise will follow.
Did the electors of Finsbury send Mr. Wakley to Par-
liament to, smooth the way for Sir R. Peel ? The Hon.
Member seems to suppose, because the nation has lost all
confidence in the Whigs, and has been obliged to give
them up; that we have no alternative but submission to
the Tories. The public hardly adopt that opinion,
and are rather resolved, we apprehend, to submit to nei-
ther, but to make the Tories submit to them. Mr.
Wakley wishes us to submit to the Tories.
•

Mr. Waklev held an inquest on Tuesday, on
Mr. William Green, a bricklayer, who committed suicide by
putting a ladder down a well, and sitting in the water till he
was dead. Oo a Juror's observing upon the strangeness of the
suicide, Air. Wakley remarked that there were many stranger
modes of suicide. He had lately held an inquest on a lady
who, standing up, placed her head in a bucket of water till she
was drowned; and another on a lady who attempted to cut her
throat, but not liking the first incision, she resolved to hang
herself; that, however, not suiting her taste, she repaired to
Bushy Park, and throwing herself on her face on a wet gravelly
walk was suffocated. At another case a gentleman was playing
at cards, when he rose from the table, apparently in perfect
good humour,and without having shown the slightest symptoms
of previous insanity, and, going into the cellar, cut his throat.
.
Suicides Pervaded all ranks of society, and were greatly oh
the increase, but the causes for most of them were quite
inexplicable.

A passenger by the St. Germain railroad, the
day before yesterday, was seated on the imperial outside one of
the waggcns, when, as the train was' passing under a bridge
between Asnieresand Nanterre, he stretched out his head,
contrary to the express recommendations published by the
Company, and, coming in contact with the vault, was in-
stantly knocked off. He fell on the rails, and the shock was
so severe that he remained senseless from two till six in the
evening. He was carried back to Paris, where he was bled,
and there are hopes (..f saving his life. Passengers cannot be
too cautious in not exposing their heads or aims outside the
vehicles while in motion.
Tuesday night, about 11 o'clock, a respectabiT
dressed elderly gentleman, about sixty years of age, called at
the private-box entrance o Drury-lane Theatre, and Legg,.
to be allowed to sit down for a few ininute.s, as he felt ihry 11
he had scarcely entered the door and taken a scat, before be fell
1 back and suddenly expired.

The following additional particulars relative to the a rte

so a little after ten, and then Blexley walked in, and Witribe
uttering a word, walked round the counter, and then 'le vire
rately drew from his bosom a knife, and with it stabbed "bbed
in the lower cart of the person. Directly afterwards be st,a,,,ing,

As soon as the, informationrmati of theto murder reached the • cree
