POILICIGN.

The King of Hanover has issued a Royal Ordinance,
convoking the States of the Kingdom in conformity with
the provisions of what he calls the Constitution of the
6th of August. As, however, the popular representa-
tives still decline to acknowledge this mock Constitution,
Von Schele and his Majesty have concocted between
them the following form of declaration, which every
Deputy is hence forth to be compelled to accept. and
strictly adhere to :—Having been named Deputy. of the
Second Chamber of the Assembly General of the States
of the Kingdom of Hanover, conformably to the funda-
mental law of August 6, 1840, I accept that election, and
declare on my honour and my conscience that I consider as
alone obligatory, with regard to the accomplishment ofmy
election as Deputy, the Cmstitution'of the 6th of August,
1840, according to which the General Assembly of the
States has been convoked. I therefore consider as un-
constitutional any attempt to embarrass or arrest the ac-
tion of either one or other of the two Chambers, as re-
gulated by the said Constitution of August 6, 1840,
and I will never give my assistance to any attempt of
the kind."
The noble stand which the Hanoverians have made
against King Ernest's tyranny, authorises the indulgence
of a hope that their representatives will spurn with con-
tempt and indignation this new device of the oppressor.
But the Deputies of Hanover are not the only persons
whom the King means to gag. The Swabian Mercury
tells us " that the Hanoverian Cabinet has addressed a
circular to all public functionaries, desiring them to ab-
stain from all political conversation in society, and to in-
form the Government of any of their colleagues who do
so. This (it says) is to prevent any opposition from
being got up during the elections." So the King wishes
to degrade all the Magistrates of the kingdom to the
servile condition of tools and spies of the Court 1 To
prevent them talking politics, why does he not at once
propose to reduce them to the condition of the mutes
who guard the antichambers of the Sultan's palace
Letters from Constantinople of the 27th ult. state,
that the Viceroy of Egypt had remitted 50,000 dollars
as another installment of the tribute to the Porte. This
speaks well fur the pacific intentions of Mehemet Ali.
The Echo de 1' Orient, the Ottoman organ, of the
29th, has the following curious article, which affords
some explanation of certain statements current as to
the want of attention paid to the French Ambassador
on taking his leave of the Sultan :—" When his
Excellency, the French Ambassador, had his audience
of absence, his Highness showed him the most gra-
cious attention, which highly pleased the Ambassador.
Nevertheless, before his introduction to the Sultan, the
customary ceremony not having been scrupulously ac-
complished, in consequence of the empressement shown
on his reception, his Highness, desirous to avoid all that
might cool the friendly relations since so long existing
between France and the Porte, and wishing to prove to
M. de Pontois the consideration he felt for him, sent to
the French Embassy the First Interpreter of the Divan,
his Excellency Sapfeti Effendi, to assure the French Am-
bassador that the omission took place through mere inad-
vertence."—The omission here complained of, was that
of not presenting pipes to M. de Pontois, as had been
done to Lord Ponsonby. Diplomatic people are never
so great as when discussing trifles.
Great activity again prevails in the French dock-
yards, and several ships of the line are being fitted out
for sea. We have little doubt that they are intended
for the coast of Spain, and therefore we cannot too
strongly impress upon the Admiralty the importance of
sending some stout vessels to observe their movements.
The Madrid mail of the 9th reached Paris at a late
hour on Tuesday afternoon. We regret to state that
Lieutenants Boria and Gobernado were shot in the capi-
tal on that day, and that Captain Fulgosio was to be the
next victim for the Christino attempt of the 7th of Oct.
PUBLXC OPXNZON.
The Chronicle observes, in answer to a leading article
that appeared in the Times of yesterday—" Hypocrisy
and cant have been systematically employed by Toryism
as instruments of political warfare, Hence so much of
the alleged progress of ' false moral principles' as may
actually have been made in the country. People are in
no real danger of being misled by tale or drama into
deeds which bring their necks is ithin peril of the halter.
They are much more likely to be corrupted by the
unimpeachable vice that is hailed with plaudits by
a party, and wins its prosperous way in the
world. If the substitution of one pamphlet for
another makes a hit in Parliamentary debate, is
loudly cheered by honourable gentlemen, and con-
tinues to be praised and echoed even after the de-
tection, that tends to promote false moral principles.'
If electors are cajoled out of their votes by deceitful
professions, and their integrity broken down by bribes,
and their suffrages commanded as a property; and the
triumphant doers of all this wrong are extolled for their
successes—this tends to promote false moral prin-
ciples.' "—This is justly and forcibly put by the Chro-
nicle. The triumph of Toryism is, indeed, the triumph
of cant—the triumph of conventional respectability—
that is to say, of the show rather than the. substance—
of the appearance of respectability, rather than the thing
itself. It is not the Reformers who inculcate "false
moral principles," but their sworn opponents, the Tories.
These are the men who trade on cant and trickery, and
thrive by appealing to the weaknesves and the prejudices
of the people.
The Post says—" The great object of the civil gover-
nors of a populous kingdom should be to encourage, and
therefore to protect, profitable industry—not industry in
this or that department, for which it may be supposed
the country affords the greatest amount of natural faci-
lity, but all branches of industry. If any profitable
branch can be introduced over and above those branches
for which the country affords natural facilities, great is
the merit of the introducer. If any nation be dependent
upon foreign countries for any commodity of general use,
and tending to general comfort, the Government which,
by judicious encouragement and protections, enables that
nation to produce for itself the commodity which f'or-
'merly it had to obtain from abroad, deserves the praise
of a wise, an able, and a patriotic Government."—
We agree with the Post that the great object of Minis-
ters should be to encourage and protect profitablein-
dustry; but do they so? Assuredly not; on the contrary
they throw every obstacle in tho,way of industry; they
hamper it with vexatious restrictions; they manacle its
legs, and then say " walk;" they tie its arms behind its
back, and then say " work !" Indeed it seems the chief
object of their policy to make industry as little profitable
as possible. Trade—commerce—industry, in its every
form and shape—all are ruthlessly sacrificed to mono-
poly, because the monopolists happen to have power on
their side, while their opponents have nothing but jus-
tice and common-sense to recommend their cause.
The Heron remarks, in allusion to the character and
tendency of the Puseyite doctrines—" Puseyism, like
the Papal policy, concedes all things to all men to meet
the exigencies of a present purpose. It abandons not an
iota of its propositions, in subsequently carrying out the
extensive scheme of its organic innovations. There is
little resulting difference between the infallibility boldly
challenged for itself by the Romish Church, and the in-
herent fallibility imputed, almost contemptuously' as
a Protestant divine has well observed, by Puseyism to
the established Protestant Church of this country.
Either pretension,—the claim of the one, or the demur-
rer of the other—if well founded, is equally fatal to the
purity of the creed, the antiquity of the discipline, the
legitimacy of the episcopal succession, the prescription
of the rights,—or the constitutional and national cha-
racter of the true, existing, ANGLICAN Church."—
'The besetting defect of Toryism is, that it denies the
claims of man to the character of a thinking being. Its
main object is to keep his mind in leading-strings ; to
treat him as though he were a child ; to build up a wall
around hini, beyond which he shall not pretaime to pass.
It is the legitimate offspring—fashioned, however, accord-
ing to the altered tone of the times—of that spirit of
bigotry which instituted the Inquisition, and kept Catho-
lic Europe in darkness for centuries. Dissent is of a far
nobler character. Whither right or wrong in some of
its tenets, it is at least a struggle for freedom of thought,
an attempt to rescue the human mind from the galling
chains flung round it by bigoted and intolerant High
Churchmen

We quote the following from the Times :—" Although
we cannot wonder that Mr. Sharman Crawford, and
other respectable Irishmen, welhwishers to their coun-
try, should feel indignation when they see the Chief
Magistrate of Dublin coquetting with treason in the
Corn-Exchange, and boasting of the American succours
whom he can at a fortnight's notice import into Ireland,
we think the patriotism of these honest men greatly mag-
nifies the mischief which they expose. Upon this side
of the Ch:.nnel the performances of Daniel O'Connell
and his dupes have become merely ridiculous, and fail to
command public attention, even when they are most
magniloquent, and when there is the greatest dearth of
ordinary topics of interest. As for their raising appre-
hension m the mind of any well-informed Englishman,
we should as soon expect to hear of the Duke of Welling-
ton and Sir Robert Peel quaking before the exterminating
edicts of the Emperor of China."
The Dublin Evening Post thus alludes to Sir Robert
Peel's Irish policy :—" We all know the real value of
Orange support in Ireland. Sir Robert Peel well knows
that the ' vagabonds' once destroyed his Administra-
tion; and Sir Henry Hardinge has avowed, that he would
sooner lose his only arm, than attempt to govern this
country through a faction so overbearing, yet so power-
less. But it is the policy of the Tory Government, to
proceed to extremes against the popular party, and,
therefore, the Orange faction, hateful and puerile as it
is, are adopted as the most fitting instruments of the
Executive."
Speaking of' the birth of the Prince of Wales, the
Cheltenham Examiner remarks :—" Our congratulation is
not without its measure of alloy. We are sorry her Ma-
jesty has been so ill-timed in her favours ; the party
which now surround her is not the one to which we
would confide the education of a Prince, destined perhaps
some fifty years hence to preside over our councils. If
the Tories are lugging behind the spirit of the present
day, how can they legislate for the succeeding generation."
The York Courant ob.:erves, in reference to the alarm-
ing increase of incendiary fires :—" But there is a
quarter to which these beacon fires ought to speak with
a voice of solemn warning. What must be the thought
of the continuance of the tranquillity of that country
where such things as these are matters of daily occur-
rence I Does it not indicate that some deep and secret
discontent is brooding, of which, like the fitful flashing
of the volcano, these are but the forerunners of the
overwhelming eruption which is about to follow ? Yet
still with all these serious portents, supineness and pro-
crastination is the established principle of policy acted
upon by our new governors."

INZONLY-TRAIDZ-COILVIIVIERCE.
Java Tea is now selling in Holland at the same prices

as Chinese tea, which is expected to be wholly super-
seded by it in the market.
Another adjourned meeting of the masons and dele-
gates of the Trades' Societies of the metropolis was
Meld yesterday at the Craven llead, Drury-lane. It
was asserted that Grissell and Peto were backed by some
party, and that was believed to be thd Government.
There were now 230 men on strike, receiving twelve
shillings per week, who were for the most part sup-
ported by the 4,000 masons in work.
The accounts from the manufacturing districts are of
a most gloomy description, without any prospect of im-
provement for the winter.

with having caused the death of a Sheriff's officer were.
again brought up, when Kennot was admitted to bail on
finding security, himself in 10C1., and two others in 501.

cure bail, were sent to Newgate.

SPORTING.
A large flight of dotterels, accompanied by a flock of
golden plover, were on Monday last observed upon the
downs near Amesbury. The farmers of the neighbour-
hood say that when these rare birds are seen in their
sheep-walks at this season of the year, an early and
rigorous winter is certain.

The anglers (says the Kelso Mail) during the .last
eight days have assailed the Tweed in fine order. The
Duke of Roxburgh° has fished the Kelso water, and
taken from 12 to 17 salmon daily. Sir C. Dalbiac has
had good sport in the Sprouston water. The Birgham
water was fished by Captain Hudson, the Duke of
Leeds, Lord John Scott, &c. Lord Bentinck, the Earl
of HardWicke, Lord Ossulston, General Carfrae, &c.,
have all been engaged in this excellent sport, which has
now finished for the season.

a cathedral, was founded by Offa, King of the Merciams,
about A.D. 900. At the Abbey Grammar School ad-
joining, the Rev. Dr. Aubrey Spencer, the present
Bishop of Newfoundland, and his brother, the Bishop
of Madras, were educated.

able opposition was made by the Chartists, but all the
addresses were ultimately agreed to.
A Mr. John Liavesley, a young man, twenty-six years
of age, has been committed to Chester Castle for wilfully
setting fire to some farm buildings leased by his mother

ture, nor is there at present any prospect of their being
relieved.

27th of October, was 1,135,052 dollars in silver, and
134,129 in gold.

approach of the settling- day in the English Stock
Market, continue to operate very much against the

HALF-PAST ONE.
Sales of Stock for Money, in Consols, to the amount
of 64,0001., have been effected this morning, which has
also tended to depress the market. Consols are now

In addition to the other: causes which are acting upon
the Money Market, such..as the dullness of trade, causing
parties to fall back upon' their private or reserved funds,
the want of confidence, and the high rate of
discounts, another circumstance is on the tapis
calculated to tighten it still more. We allude to
the reports current in I. 'Pricing-lane, and at the Stock
Exchange, of its being tl ie intention of the Directors of
the Bank of England to take some protective measures
against the demand map°, upon them by the country
bankers and others, for bullion in exchange for notes.
There is one thing certain, namely, that the circulation
of the Corporation must. be diminished, if this state of
things continues, for of all the specie received lately
from North and South .A.znerica' and other parts, scarcely
any seems to be left in. the London market.

Brown, in return, has subsequently challenged 1)r. Sleigh,
which the Doctor has sects pled ; both parties have de-
cided on holding the iliscaa ssion at Bristol, at the latter
end of this month, and ha Ye agreed to the terms of de-
bate. Mr. Brown inten cB . to take up the question as a
matter of moral and reli, gi, Dos principle. His position is,
"That the existing Con a-lawe• are repugnant to the re-
vealed character, will, and precepts of God ; are con-
demned by the tenor aid spirit of Christianity ; are
fraught with injustice to the labouring classes ; and
pregnant with injury to, th e national welfare and pro-
sperity." Whether Mr.. Br, iwn may manage his argu-
ment convincingly, we ',mow not; but of this we are sure,
that the position he la .s take n is, if ably defended, " the
munition of rocks." Faincie th ;first agreement was signed,
an alteration. has been sug ;ested by Dr. Sleigh, with
reference to the in9de o f te:.'mission, as it respects the
audience. The rlisputan .ts are to meet at Bristol on the
22d inst., finally to arra!, ge preOminaries. Should aught,
however, arise to induce. Dr. Sleigh to decline meeting
his opponent, Mr. Brown. has engaged to deliver his lec-
