rope to the Sandwich Islands and New Zealand.
If it be inferred from what the priests did in the
early ages, and what the missionaries are doing
amongst the savages, that our richly endowed
Bishops and Rectors will have a similar influence
over the " heathen" of our large towns, let the public
study the language and conduct of the Norwich
weavers, and be undeceived.

for the just view he took of the Eastern question. I
He blames the THIERS Cabinet, without excusing
or still less praising their predecessors, who by
their counsels had placed France in a most
awkward position. There were three great
errors he said with regard to French po-
licy in the East—too great fear of Russia, a
blameable negligence in supporting the status qno
as something permanent, and the unjust and exor-
bitant sacrifice of the Ottoman interests to thote of
Egypt. The results were two of the most serious
and unfortunate events of the last ten years, vic.,
the presence of the Russians at Constantinople for
the first time in 1833, and the rupture of the
Anglo-French alliance in 1840. This, he said
emphatically, is what the Paella of EGYPT
has lost the world and us. There is a
great deal of truth in the speech, but unfortunately
it is like those made by some of our own discon-
tented orators, who, in the exuberance of their
fancy, attack friends I and foes alike. Baron
CHARLES DUPIN spoke first, and took a similar
view of the false position in which Fiance had
placed her by supporting Mehemet Ali. To these
speakers, and particulaily that of M. GuizoT we
refer our readers. We have given two "versions of
it, as there is some discrepancy in the reports. Oi
this, however, both reports agree, that France,
wealthy, prosperous and free, should strive to ',re-
serve the blessings of peace."

This is not, however, the only example we have
to produce that the people are beginning to decide
accurately on the merits of the priesthood. On the
18th instant Mr. SYDNEY SMITH delivered his
second lecture on the Corn-laws to about 500 per-
sons at Devizes. He said (we copy from the
Wiltshire Independent)—

I have often, in the course of my public addresses,
pointed out to my hearers that we have had four years
of high prices and three of scarcity. I have observed
that the Church of England Liturgy (" part and parcel
of the law of the land") directs its ministers to use cer-
tain prayers in the time of famine ; and have been sur-
prised to find that the Established Clergy have, with
rare exceptions, carefully avoided following the instruc-
tions in this respect of their own rubric.—(Cries of
Shame.) The duty they have neglected, I will perform,
and I ask you to listen with attention to this :—" 0 God,
Heavenly Father, whose gift it is that the rain doth fall,
the earth is fruitful, beasts increase, and fishes do mul-
tiply ! Behold, we beseech thee the afflictions of thy
people; and grant that the scarcity and DEARTH,
which we do now most suffer for our iniquity, may
through thy goodness be mercifully turned into
CHEAPNESS and Plenty, for the love of Jesus
Christ our Lord."—(Hear, hear, hear.) And fur-
ther, in the " Thanksgiving for Plenty," hear this :
" 0 most Gracious Father, who of thy gracious good-
ness bast heard the devout prayers of thy Church, and
turned our dearth and scarcity into cheapness and
plenty ; we give thee thanks for this thy special bounty?'
—(Hear, hear.) These are, indeed, the prayers of a
truly national religion ; but what a mockery of God
must that man's orisons be, who exerts all his social
influence to make the food of his fellow-worshippers
dear, and yet could insult the majesty of Heaven, by
thanking the Almighty for " cheapness and plenty !"
(Hear.) And what are we to think of the piety of
those clergymen who all the week will run over their
parishes to get their flock toTetition Parliament t, keep
up by a tax the price of the bread of the poor, and yet on
the Sabbath will stand up in the " Poor man's Charcb,"
and petition God to avert that calamity which they them-
calves ::re strenuously exerting the,aaselves to perpetuate.
—(Hear.) Nor is this all ;in every palish the clergy
have :loci e ties to promote the better obaervence of
the Sabbath ; and the Bishop of London, in every sec-
tion of his diocese, is a zealous promoter of this object.
One evening, as I passed through Spitalfields, in my
way from a lecture, I heard strange noises in the gar-
rets above me ; on inquiring their cause, 1 found that
still, at the dead hour of the night, the weavers (of his
Lordship's own flock) were at work at their looms ; that
they were compelled to labour 18, 19, and '2O hours a
day, and that the shuttles might be heard quite as re-
gularly when the bells tolled for Sabbath church.—
(Hear, and shame.) The following specimen of a
Manchester hand-loom weaver, at once explains the
cause, and shows that it is not confined to Spitalfields.
It is taken from the Manchester Timer :—" John
White said it was long since the hand-loom weavers
knew the evil effects o the Corn-laws upon their la-
bour. He had severely felt the effects of those laws.
For thirteen years he had toiled for a large, a young,
and a helpless family, that never could assist him.
He had worked early and late, until on three
separate occasions, he had fainted and fallen out
of his loom.—(Hear, hear.) It was a well known
fact that people had worked on the Sabbath—( Hear)
—he had often done it himself ; and lie would work
again on any day on which the Lord permitted him
health and strength to do it, before he would leave his
wife and children starving."—( Hear, hear.) %Web of
you, fathers and husbands, having an ox fallen into a
pit, will not lift it out on the Sabbath day ? and which of
you having a wife and children starving, will not work
on the Sabbath-day for food to dry up their tears ?
( Hear.) But what are we to think of the matchless
hypocrisy of the men who, in the consecrated cathedral,
will teach the hearers to remember the Sabbath-day to
keep it holy ; and in their places in Parliament, will
tax their bread and force them to offend the command-
ment, in earning food for their children ?—(tries of
" That they arc hypocrites.") The Corn-law is the
great Sabbath-breaker—(Hear)—and yet Chri6tian
Bishops defend it.—(Shame, shame.)
In Devizes, then, as well as at Norwich, in the
west, as well as in the east, the multitude cry out
shame on the Bishops, shame on the Clergy, and
shame on the hypocrites. They regard them as
enemies. The clergy are associated in their minds
with the accursed tax on their bread. Will the
people listen to their enemies ? Will they take ad-
vice from their oppressors ? Will they respect
and honour the counsel of *men they despise ?
They will not, and we seriously call on all those
well-meaning people who look for the regeneration
of the nation from the influence of the clergy, to
cast about for some more efficacious means, for
they might as well expect it from the costermon-
gers as from the clergy.
Gentlemen over their wine cups at Tory meet-
ings, may fancy, as they toast the Church, that
their wishes for its strength will realise themselves'.
They may be flattered, too, by hearing some well-
fed rubicund clergyman return thanks, and assure
them that there never was a time when the Church
and the landed aristocracy were so highly respected.
They may cajole one another ; but they will not
cajole the fustian jackets. We hope they will not
attempt, being themselves well convinced that the
clergy ought to be honoured and obeyed, to coerce
the fustian jackets into obedience. That will
only aggravate the sore. It is certainly with
the fustians jacket that the influence of the
clergy is required by the State and the country
gentlemen. The latter do not need it, for them-
selves. If they expect, however, to make the people
love the priesthood by toasting them and praising
them, they will be deceived. To restore the
clergy to their former influence and usefulness,
they must lift up their voices according to the
rubric against the Corn-law ; they must renounce
a large portion of their wealth ; they must become
part of the people and make common cause with
them. Then they may once more be regarded as
their leaders, and guide them to virtue and happi-
ness. But as long as the priesthood preserve their
present character, and strenuously cherish alliance
with the bread-taxers, they will everywhere, as at
Devizes and Norwich, be regarded with contempt
and scorn.

The Monileur contains a royal ordinance, pro-
moting a number of Colonels to the rank of Ma-
jor-General. The other intelligence from France
and also Spain is destitute of interest.

In another part of The Sun appears in a very
abridged form a report of the proceedings which
have taken place at Leicester in relation to Mr.
11A INEs. It is especially worthy of the atten-
tion of the public, and particularly of the Pro-
Church-rate party. There breathes throughout
these proceedings an air of sincere conviction
which cannot be mistaken, and which entitles
Mr. BAINES, Mr. THOROGOOD, and their sup.
porters to the character of martyrs for conscience'
sake asjustly as that character was ever conferred,;on
any men. The humanity of the age does not allow
their stupid and selfish antagonists to burn them ;
but if it did, we feel assured they would as steadily
profess their doctrines a- the stake as they now
braveimprisonment in resisting Church-rates.
How long, then, is this legal plunder to be conti-
nued, which excites against it such hallowed and
honoured feelings ? How long is human nature
to be outraged because a law is suffered to remain
in existence, which might havr been suitable to
foirt
spirit n
e but is as uncongenial to the
ti
!Is e age as the old law for burning
s.ftinis it not enough for the law established
w t r
o
priesthood, that they must direct on their devoted
heads the hatred of all the suffering bread eaters in
the kingdom, but they must also invoke against
themselves the religious zeal, the sincere piety, the
conscientious convictions of all the honest Dis-
senters in the kingdom. Whom GOD means to
destroy he first drives mad ; and if the priesthood
do not at once interfsre to stop the revolting course
of the law carried into execution for them and .by
their Courts, must we not conclude that GOD
des-
tines them to destruction, and that his decree is
already visible in their madness. Do they
and their crazy abettors imagine that the deep wells
of human feeling are to be dried up or diverted at
their bidding ? If they do not, let them make
their laws and carry them into exertion consistently
with these feelings ; if they -do, let them proceed
in their present career, one of the least calamities
of which will be their certain and swift destruction.

At the meeting of the Commission of Assembly
at Edinburgh, on Wednesday, the case of the Strath.
bogie ministers was again discussed at great length.
The seven Ministers suspended by the Assembly,
and supported by the Court of Session, objected by
Counsel to the relevancy of the indictment against
them for obeying the Civil Court, and the Non-In-
trusionist party, by a large majority, repelled the
objections, and sustained the indictment. They
prudently, however, delayed hca-ina the •evi-
dence on both sides till the month of March.
This delay shows a consciousness of impotency
on the part of these law breakers, and a de-
termination to throw the whole responsibility
of a collision with the Supreme Civil Courts
on the General Assembly. They sustained the in-
dictment also against Mr. EDWARDS, the pre-
sentee to Maruoch, who, nevertheless, proceeds
with his action for damages against the five minis-
ters of Strathbogie for depriving him of the living.
The contest is a very novel one. Five ministers,
backed by the General Assembly, are opposed to
seven ministers, backed by the Court of Session
and the House of Lords. It will be strange cer-
tainly if, in these days, the Church can dw
pity set the laws at defiance, as in the
nods of Papal dominion.

We have received the Paris papers of Wednes-
day, which, as well as the letters of the Corre-
spondents, contain news of considerable importance.
In one of the letters the following report is given
on good authority :—" Yesterday evening there
passed through Paris, for London, a courier,
coming from Constantinople, via Vicrina, with ME-
HEMET ALI': acceptance of the terms offered him
by the Allies. The respectability of the quarter
whence I had this information compels me
to regard it as certain. It no doubt Peached other
parties, for )ou will find that the funds -rose consi-
in spite of certain sinist
..tr reports re-
derably to-day,
specting the prospects of the present Cabinet, and
of the alleged indisposition of the m ajority of the
deputies to vote any but a strongly w circled address
in alluding to the treaty of the 15th J. aly.
" If MEHEMET ALI have, as a bove stated,
submitted to the dictum of the allies„ the arrival in
Kondon of Prince ESTERHAZY will be immedi-
ately followed by negotiations pn a • more extended
subject— the general peace of Europ ,e—which the
quarrel of the Porte and the Vieetol was so near
compromising."
These papers gave at considerab, le length the
debate in the Chamber of Peers on the address.
It was very animated, but at the s ame time peace-
able. The speech of the Count M. aNT/ALENIBERT
was the most remarkable) both for- locluence and

BOROUGH OF MARYLEBONE RE-
FORM AND REGISTRATION ASSOCIATION.

Last evening a very numerous meeting, including many
of the most influential electors of the Borough of M irk le-
bone, members of the Borough of Marylebone Reform and
Registration Association, took place at their spacious
rooms, Warren-street, Fuzroy.square, for the purpose 01
receiving the Report of the Committee as to the political
position of the Borough since the result of the Revision of
the Lists of Voters in the late Registration Court.
Major REVELL occupied the Chair, and amongst the
gentlemen present were Sir James Duke, M. P , Captain
J. W. Deans Duridas, R.N., Professor Key, J. B. Bacon,
Eiq., Joseph Ivimey, Esq , R. Nelins, Esq., &c. &e.
The CHAIRMAN having explained the objec7 of the meet-
ing, read a letter from John Bagshavv, Esq , the Presi-
dent of the Association, expressive of regret at his inabi-
lity, through illness, to ba present, and then called upon
the Secretary to read the Report of the Committee.
Mr. ALLEN, the Secretary, then read the Report, as
follows :

The Managing Committee, in presenting their third
Report to the Members of the Borough of Marylebone Re- '
term and Registration Association, congratulate them upon
the important services rendcred by it to the Reform inte-
rest. Without the lab.Jur of such an Association, it is
evident to your Committee that the cause of Toryism in this
borough would be triumphant. With it they entertain the
most sanguine hopes that, whenever another election shall
occur, that cause will be most signally defeated.
The following statements—and of their accuracy the
Committee challenge any possible investigation—will show
those of the Tory Association arc not only incorrect, as far
as figures are concerned, but that the real victory is with
the Reformers of this Borough..
The accounts furnished by the Tory Association to
the Tory Newspapers as the result of the last revision of
voters for this borough, is stated to give a majority in
favour of that party of 61.
If the vaunted triumphs of the Tory Associations in
other boroughs are not more correct than their account of
this, a dissolution of Parliament, so far from being a mat-
ter of dread to Reformers, ought to be an event most de.
voutly to be desired.
In the three rariihes of Paddington, Marylebone, and
Pancras, the whole claims amontited to 265. Of these
this Association made 106, sustained 58, and failed 38.
The Tory Association made 71, sustained 38, and failed in
33; other persona made 88, of which 24 were sustained, and
64 failed.

In the three parishes the thole objections made amoun:-
cd to 1,002, of these 206 were made by both Associations
to the same persons, and 29 were made by overseers, which
deducted from the total number, leaves 767 ; of these thin
Association made 336, sustained 248, and failed in 90.
Tile Tory Association made 429, sustained 235. aril failed
in 134. Adding, therefore, together the claims and ob-
jctions eustaiL;:d Associatien, they wou!d amount
is 316, and thoee cl the Torics to 333, leaving a majority,
in their favour of 17 only, instead of 61, the number of
ishich they have boasted. Ot the 24 claims made by other
parties and atoned, the Committee are happy to state that
more than sufficient are of, thy' Reform side to convert the
Tory majority into a minority.
The actual result of the ufforts of this Association and
that of the Tories, may be thus shortly stated :
Reformers' claims allowed 6B
objections sustained 248-316
Tory claims
objections failed 134-167

Tory claims allowed 3`3 vv
objections :)ustained 295-333
Reformers' claims dis6liorved
-- objections 90-128

461
D,fference in favour of R:furmers 22

It will thus be seen that, without the efforts of this As-
sociation, the probabilities are that the Tories would have
struck off 134 more voters, and caused the insertion on
the list of 33 more Tories. Adding these to the 6ti
claims sustained by this Association, and the 246 objec-
tion=, allowed there would have been a loss of 483 voters on
the Liberal side, and probably more than sufficient to de-
cide the fate of an election had one taken place on the
Register as it would have then stow!.

The very trifling majority, as shown by the Tories, so
fir as mere figures are concerned, is altogether reversed
ashen the calculation is confined to those, whose votes have
already been recorded upon previous elections, and are
now expunged. The analysis of the whole is as follows:
Registered in 1838, and not then voting, t 34; on the two
last registers, 88; on the last register only 67. New
voters not before registered, 335 —524. Voted !or Tories
127; for Reformers, 83.-204. Total expunged, 778.;
and it will be observed of the ❑umber who have voted there
are 38 mo-e Tories than Reformers.

The different nature of the objections sustained, the parties
by whomiradde, and their numbers, are classed ad follows :

. „
It is curious to observe that nine Peers were erased on
account of the objections made by the Tory Association.
The above analysis shows that a very considerable portion
of the Tory objections arose (as they always have dono
from the non-payment of assessed taxes. None were made
by Reformers on that ground. One certain proposition
(and which is arrived at from the actual experience of that
Association) may be safely affirmed, that, as a body, the
assessed tax collectors are against the Reformers, and in
favour of Tories ; and that to fervvard the interests of the
latter they are most active partisans, supplying them vsicl
every possible information in their power. If it be asked
What proofs can be adduced ? the answer given, in tin
first place, is the fact itself, that the names of 67 person,
ate suffered by these collectors to remain on tee list, a,
made out by the overseers; whereas their duty was
to have expunged them. Nut having done so,
the information is then given to the Tory As-
sociation, and thus their account of objections sustained
is to a great extent increased, and their boastings propor-
tionably so. No such information is given to this Asso.
elation If the mischief rested here. it might be said that
there was no very great cause of complaint, as those names
are properly erased ; but the misfortune is, that if per-
chance after the objection is made it is discovered that the
voter is on the Tery side, then it is instantly withdrawn,
and the Barrister tias no power to expunge a name which
is not objected to, or where the objection is withdrawn.
Various instances of this kind occurred during the revi-
sion, which leads this Committee to the full belief that
these functionaries (who ought to confine themselves
strictly to the discharge of their duties, and not to inter-
fere on the one side or the other) purposely allow persons
of their own political views to be placed on the list
not withstanding their assessed taxes are not paid.
When to this is added then unremitting activity
in getting their Tory friends to pay their assessed
taxes on or before the 20th of July, and the same activity
alter that day, as regards the Reformers, the wonder is
that having such odds to contend with, the Reformers in this
borough number the amount they do. W hen all parties pro-
fess an axiety to amend the present system of registration,
this glaring evil ought not to be overlooked. Indepen-
dently of objections furnished from information thus pecu-
liarly derived, they arc never found wanting in giving any
other testimony they think will be serviceable to their
friends. Among other instances, two may be advancA
in which a collector supported an objection to two voters,
ou the ground that he knew they were females. The
voters themselves subsequently attended and proved the
contrary, one of them having been a rate-payer for a pe-
riod of three, and the other upwards of twenty-five years.
Whether any benefit is derived by these gentlemen, other
than the gratification of thus actively serving their friends,
it is impossible to say. Nevertheless, it has been awes-
tainest, that after their registration labours are over a good
dinner (not at their own expense) is provided for them at
the Yorkshire Stingo.
Your Committee conclude this Report with the follow.
ing statement of the present Register:--
Persons who have voted at one or both of the
last elections 6,225
Persons registered in 1838 and not then voting 966
Persons registered in 1839 and omitted from
last register
Persons registered in 1839 and 1840 again
registered 1,058
Persons on the last register only 1,258
New votes not before registered
----. 5,334

Total number of votes on the new register 11,359
being 66 lets than that of last year.
Of the above 6,225 persons who have voted, 114 were
split between Reformer and Tory in 1837, and nut given
to either party in 1838-3,158 voted for Reformers, and
0,953 for the Tories, which gives a clear majority of known
voters to the Reformers of 205, Of the 5.334 who have
not yet recnrded their votes no certain calculation can be
made; but it is gratifying to your Committee to state that
the majority will be found in those districts roost favourable
to Reformers, and the minority in those in which the Tories
bale hitherto bees the most successful.

The Report concluded by expressing regret at the apathy
of Reformers, and by urging them to enrol themselves as
members of the Association.

Mr. CHAMBERS moved the adoption and printing of the
report, when

. -
Captain DUNDAS observed, that he feared if that was
done it would be giving their opponents a little Information
which would perhaps operate against themselves.
Mr. NELMES seconded the motion. He conceived that
there was nothing in the report that ought not to forth to
the electors. It would not only disabuse the minds of Re-
formers as to the real political position of the borough ;
but it would also refute the false statemtnts put forth by
the Tory Association in the Tory journals, and expose the
gross conduct of the Queen's tax collectors in becoming
partisans of the Tories to aid them in the Registration
Courts. It was also an important fact for the public to
know that but for the eff,rts of that Association there
would have been a loss to the Reform interest of nearly
500 voters, which would have been enough to have turned
any Hear.)
Captain DUNDAS observed that the conductto the o
ofthectwo
collectors ought to be at once reportedoffice of
stamps and taxes.—( Hear, hear.)
Sir JAMES DUKE said he was himself in the unfortunate
position of having lost his vote through the misconduct of

_ .
The Report, on being put, was carried unanimously.
A letter was read, announcing the death of N. A.
Vigors, Esq., M. P , one of the Vice-Presidents of the AH
sociation, when, on the motion of Sir James Duke, se-
conded by Captain Dundas, and after a lengthened eulogy
on the consistent character of that gentleman, both in his
private and public capacity, a resolution of condolence to
his bereaved family was unanimously adopted.
A vote of thanks was then passed to the Secretary, Mr.
Allen, for the talent and assiduity he has invariably dis-
played in advancing the objects of the Association. A
similar compliment having subsequently been paid to Mr.
Ivimey, for his defeace of the Reform interest in the Re-
vising Barristers' Court, and also to ths Chairman, the
meeting separated at a late hour.

CONSTAnTINOPLE, OCT. 21.—We begin to feel the bad
effects of the season. On the night of the 14th a.A.I 13th
we experienced a terrible gale from the south-cast, which
took place in the Black Sea, which has caused much
damage. Several ships have been damaged ; some of
them have been obliged to throw a part of their cargoes
into the sea.

The only Continental news this morning of consequence
is a report that Mehemet Ali has submitted to the Allied
Powers. This intelligence is stated to have been received
at Paris by a courier passing through that capital from
Vienna, going to England.
Up to the present hour we have no tidings of the Pre-
sident, from New York. Fears arc entertained that she
has received some accident, and been obliged to put back.
There was not much business done in the foreign ex-
changes yesterday afternoon, and the market closed flat ;
Hamburgh was rather lower.

a report was prevalent that Colonel Stoddart had been
poisoned. This, however, i 3 contradicted by a report
from Colonel Stoddart, received at the neighbouring sta.

hara caused the unfortunate Colonel to be circumcised
before all the people ; on the 12th had his grave dug, threw
him into it, and ill treated him, but they spared his life.
Will Government ever interfere in the unfortunate man's

be correct ; if she had arrived on this day evening at Li-

The British Market, which had a heavy appearance in
the course of the morning, when Consols were at 89k for

BLIND ASYLUM.—JOHN
singularly interesting individual, who has been an inmate
of the Asylum for the Industrious Blind in Edinburgh
since its foundation in 1793, died on Saturday evening.
Ile was a native of Edinburgh, and lost his sight by
smallpox when a child. The powers of this singular man's
memory are nut unknown to many of the community of
Edinburgh by whom they have' been often witnessed
at the public examination of the younger pupils; and
those visiting the Institution, both from Edinburgh and
from a distance, have been constantly in the habit of
testing this faculty in the extraordinary measure in which
be possessed it. Ha had, with little exception,
o e
the whole
Bible on his memory, and could repeat the passan th
Bible being opened at any place, and chapter ge
and verse
named to him; and conversing he could cite the chapter
and verse where any passage that might be quoted to him
would be found. As he get on in years, later events
would elude his recollection, but what his memory had se-
cured in earlier life rem iced to the very last distinct. The
