SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
GLOBE.—We extract from a Norwich journal a RAl-
fully instructive description of the interruption by a body
of Chartists, and consequent dispersion, of a public
meeting of the friends and supporters of the Society
for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, at
which Lord Wodehouse, the Lord Lieutenant of the
county, presided. The readers of the Globe will remem-
ber that on many occasions we warned the Tory party
of the danger of fraternizing with the Chartists, in the
hope of embarrassing, and eventually overthrowing, the
Whig Government. They rejoiced in the confederacy
—recounted with delight the successful interruptions by
the Chartists of meetings called in different places for
the purpose of petitioning for the removal of adminis-
trative evils, or for the diminution of fiscal burdens.
By the unprincipled use they made of the New
Poor-law for mere party purpose, they fostered the pre-
judices and goaded the passions of the working classes,
among whom dissatisfaction with the social system had
been extensively engendered by the deep and rapidly-
spreading distress which they experienced, and thus
prepared them for the reception of those wild and de-
structive theories respecting property which ;strike at
the very foundations of society, .and would involve all
classes in one common and inevitable destruction. The
Tories were too much elated with the successes they
obtained by aid of these auxiliaries, to be induced to
listen to the voice which warned them of the facility
with which the weapons used by these irregular and un-
scrupulous assailants would, at no distant Lye be turned
against themselves. We cautioned the Tories, that the
accession of the Chartists to their ranks, and the ad-
vantages thus secured to them by the interruption of Re-
form and Free-trade meetings, were but temporary ; and
that the addition thus made to their party strength
would speedily produce embarrassment, weakness, and
eventually discomfiture and ruin. They persisted in
sowing to the wind, and they are now reaping the whirl-
wind. They planted dragons' teeth, and find armed
men starting up in hostile array on every side. What-
ever antipathy the Chartists might have conceived to-
ward the Whigs, it was obvious to every one whose eyes
were not blinded to the most self-evident principles and
facts, that Toryism was necessarily yet more decidedly
antagonistical to their claims, and more thoroughly de-
tes'ed by them. This their leaders did not conceal.
STANDARD.—In a paragraph, which we quoted
yesterday from the Glebe, are the following words—
" With all the appliances and means' to which we have
alluded, with the application of the screw by the col-
lectors of the revenue to an unprecedented extent of
severity, the increase upon the year amounts to the small
sum of 248,1481." When we quoted this passage we had
a strong conviction that the screw had not been applied
with unprecedented severity or applied at all by the pre-
sent Ministers, but we thought it Lest to make sure upon
the point ; more particularly as we were aware that great
dissatisfaction had been excited in more than one of the
metropolitan districts, by the unusal urgency of some of
the tax-collectors—the result of inquiry has realised
our conviction. We are a& to state with perfect cer-
tainty, that since the accession of the present Government
to office, the Treasury has issued no order whatever to
accelerate the collection of the assessed taxes. If, there-
fore, " the screw has been applied to an unprecedented
extent of severity," as the Globe says it has been, and
as we believe that it has been, the late Ministers are the
parties applying it, and they and the functionaries whom
they have bequeathed to their successors in office
must take all the responsibility for whatever in-
convenience and distress is produced by the system
of rigour lately pursued in the collection of
taxes. As we have had many complaints upon
this subject we think it necessary to make the
truth generally known, upon the just principle cuique
suum. Lord Melbourne and Mr. Baring must answer
for the application of the screw, not Sir Sobert Peel nor
Mr. Goulburn, neither of whom has touched it. But in
what a light does this view of the matter (and it is the
true one) exhibit the late Ministers. At the very
time when waving one hand in pathetic gesticulation
to move compassion for the sufferings of the people.
the other is, we find, furtively employed turning the
screw, to extract beds and chairs, and tables, and
wearing apparel from the sufferers, through the agency
of the tax man. The Globe is our witness as to
the fact that, during forty-six of the fifty-two
weeks ending last Sunday, " the screw was applied to an
unprecedented extent of severity," and many a ruined
householder can tell the effect of the operation. This,
however, is rot the course that will be taken by a Con-
servative Administration. Such an Administration will
not ostentatiously exaggerate the public distress for
party purposes, nor will it aggravate that distress for
official convenience. Wise men know that all deception
is weakness in the end ; and he is a shallow statesman
who does not see tint extreme rigour in the exacting of
taxes leads to ultimate loss, by impairing those resources
from which future taxes are to be obtained.
COURIER.—For some time past a report has been in
circulation, that a worthy Scotch Baronet, not now in
Parliament, is about to accomplish a feat which must
rank high among the patriotic exertions for which his
family is already distinguished. It is said that he is to
close the bleeding wounds of the Kirk ; and to re-
store peace and harmony among the clerical com-
batants that have so long and cruelly torn her
asunder. When we first heard this rumour circu-
lated with great confidence, and traced it to quar-
ters that ought to he well-informed, we did begin to
think that there was a prospect of the venerable
establishment on the north side of the Tweed, continu-
ing, as it has long been, the honcur and the boast of
Scotland. But our hopes have been not a little damped
by the accounts which we have within these two days
received of the conditions on which this peace is to be
brought about, namely, the sacrifice of the ministers
of Strathbogie—the men who have so nobly fought the
battle of civil and religioes in the. nobly

LATEST MA NCHESTER BETTING

MANCLIESTEB.—TIIESDAY EVENING.
THE MOSTYN MILE (TUESDAY NEXT.)—The advance
of the Squire to 5 to 1. repeatedly taken, is the leading
feature. 3to 1 was freely offered agst Lampoon, in one
instance 7 to 2 laid ; 5 to 1 against all the Marquis's lot,
bar her, and offered. 10 to 1 was laid against Satirist,
and offered again. 20 to 1 was, early on, laid against
the Squire winning the Cesare witch and the Mile,
after 100 to 6 offered. 14 to 8, twice over, was laid ob
Iliona agst Welfare; the field agst three. We did not
hear a bet laid on the Clearwell Stakes. The very
latest accounts that we have received place Mona as the
winner.

At the Post Office Hotel the muster was tolerable this
evening, but no business. The demand for the Squire
was "prodigious;" but not one offer was made.

STATE OF TRADE. •
(From the Manchester Guardian.)
11.Asettcsvra.—There was a rather quiet market yes-
terday 1,.r most descriptions of yarn. The season for
export to Russia, being now at an end, the descriptions of
yarn suitable for that market were in little request ;
_but

L ow a better inquiry fir East
were yarn suitable for the ast
ndie numbers, both of water d mule twist,
were also in demand fur Germany, and thean prices of these
showed rather more firmness. The goods market was
exceedingly flat, being injuriously affected by the unfa-
vourable political rumours in circulation, and some de-
scriptions, especially power-loom printing cloths, were
sold at lower prices.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, OCT. ll.
The flannel market has been rather brisker to-day, on
account of a few of the manufacturers who undertook
the
The late Government order, purchasing rather freely.
workmen are employed at present, but at extremely low wages. The Government order for half a million
yards of flannel was to be completed at the beginning
of this month, and it is feared that work will then be-
came more scarce. There is no change in the wool

market ; manufacturers continue to buy fm• immediate
use only, at the old prices.
HITDDF..REFIELD MARZET, TUESDAY, OcreßEn,
This was a dull market ; but, considering the unsettled
state of the world, it exhibited a degree of buoyancy
that can only be accounted for by the great variety of
manufactures that are peculiar to this neighbourhood.
Prices remain tolerably firm. Business in the ware-
houses continues pretty fair; and the mills generally are
working full time.
