Her Majesty's packet Pandora, Lieutenant Morgan,
acting commander, arrived at Falmouth on Saturday
evening. Her sailing dates are stated to bo---from Bar-
badoes, June 28 ; St. Lucie and Martinique, 29 ; Domi-
nique and Guadeloupe, 30 ; Antigua and Mouser rat,
July 1 ; Nevis and St. Kitt's, 2 ; Tortola, 3 ; -and
arrived at St. Thomas's the same day. The island ma. ils
in return were brought to St. Thomas's by the inrea. v
steamer, and those from Jamaica by the Tartaru3 on
July 22 ; on the following day the packet sailed ..cur
England. The next packet, the Tynan, arrived at
Thomas's July 19. Passengers by the Pandora—Mr-
Henry Gunter, E. A. Wallbridge, Lady, and family ;f.
Captain Vernon, 33d Regiment : Mr. J. Colhoun, Mr.
P. F. Esponosa, Mr. Robert Mathews, Rev. R. Dallas,
Rev. 0. D. Toosey,lattnd family. A small freight of
240 oz. of gold and 100 of silver.
Vegetation had been considerably improved by boun-
tiful rains at those islands, which our late advices re-
presented as being parched ; the effect thereof on the
coming crops would be highly promising. Trade at Ja-
maica was dull ; but the affairs at Grenada being quieted,
a gleam of hope presented itself of a resumption of com-
mercial pursuits, and the receipt of money, as a con-
sequence, from the main.
By this arrival we have been favoured with the Belize
Gazette to the 12th ult. Of internal matters, the papers
before us contain little intelligence, but what there is ex-
hibits a favourable aspect.
:A general rising had taken place in Bolivia, he aded
by Generals Lara and Irogover, who have proc i ed
General Santa Cruz Supreme Protector.
" This officer (adds the Gazette) was expected at Guy-
aquil about the 20th ult., where he was told to hold him-
self in readiness to embark for Peru with a small force
on the first favourable opportunity ; and as such an op-
portunity is now offered, he is momentarily expected in
Peru. On his arrival the downfal of this degraded Go-
vernment is inevitable. In fact, nothing prevents its im-
mediate overthrow but the want of some officer of rank
and influence, under whom all parties would unite."
Upon this subject a Correspondent further writes:—
" Col. Vivanco has been proclaimed Supreme Chief in
the department of Cusco, ArequipokTip, and Moqiie-
gua ; and notwithstanding"Generallt.atT Roman, who was
placed in command of the former by Vivanco, has de-
clared against him with about 1,000 men, yet he appears
to be rapidly gaining ground, as the whole community
is decidedly against the Government of Gamarra, who
has degraded the country to such an extent as to place
it in the class of a Chihan colony, sustained by Chilian
influence, and subject to Chili= control."
A new subject of dispute between the States of the
republic of Central America, has sprung up, as to the
choice of place where the National Convention should
assemble. The State of Guatemala having sent dele-
gates to San Salvador, where the Convention was origi-
nally appointed to meet, it was found that the other
States had determined to remove it to Chinandeg:a, to
which the Guatemalians decidedly objected, on account
of its extreme remoteness and difficulty of access ; here ,
the matter rests. It is added, however, as a fact no an; •
worthy of observation, that Guatemala is the only Si at a
that has shown any disposition to effect an adjust-mt. su
of the British claims upon Central America. Uncl,n- E
these circumstances, the Guatemalian delegates have ex •-•
pressed their doubts of anything being effectively d 9110.'
for the good of the people by a Convention, be it hold..
wherever it may.
As a natural Consequence of these proceedings the as-
sembly of San Salvador has already formed itself inte a.
new Constitution, based upon the erection of the State
into a distinct republic, to be called the " Republic of
San Salvador," thereby elevating itself into the rank of a
sovereign nation, which example, it was expected, would
be followed by the States of Nicaragua and Honduras.
This arrangement, in the opinion o the Guatemalian
delegates, leaves it doubtful whether the general good of
Central America will receive an attention unbiassed by
the interests of the particular States, or that the specific
objects of the convention can be impartially disclosed
and carried into execution.

THE METROPOLITAN FREE HOS.
riTAL, LINCOLN'S-INN-FIELDS.

The Committee of this most admirable establishment,
for the gratuitous relief of the sick poor of every nation.
and class without letter or other introduction, have just.
issued their published report, which states that upward s
of 7,000 of their suffering fellow-creatures had been re-
lieved during the past year, and that the calls upon the
Institution had been so great that a considerable amount
was due beyond the funds at their immediate disposal,
and that they apprehended that, unless the friends of th e
charity generally, made a strong effort to increase its
pecuniary resources, a diminution must take place in the
benefits of the hospital, by limiting the relief hitherto
afforded, or discontinuing it altogether, a calamity they
earnestly implored their friends and the public at large,
to assist by a liberal and extensive contribution. The
report states further, that since the hospital was opened,
five years ago, the number to whom advice and medicine
was supplied, amounted to 33,489 persons, that the per-
sons who constitute the bulk of patients, are derived from
amongst the poorest classes in the Metropolis, and con-
siderably more than one-half are women and children,
and that every thing in the establishment is conducted
upon principles of the strictest economy.

BODY FouND.--:This morning, about ten mi-
nutes to six, as a young man named Thomas Anderson
was proceeding to his employment at AiiDank, he ob-
served the body of a female, apparently about 28 years of
age, lying face downwards in the mud near the shore,
close to Johnson's stone-wharf, lifillbank. She is about
five feet six inches high, with sandy hair, and had on a
plaid cotton gown and black apron, but neither bonnet,
shawl, nor shoes. He procured assistance and had the
body conveyed to the workhouse in Dean-street, West-
minster.
On Friday morning a man employed in cleaning
the drains outside the prison wall at Vilvorde, Belgium,
was overpowered by the foul air, and fell in; his father
and brother hastened to his succour, and met with the
like fate; and a fourth man, going down after the

LONDON:
TUESDAY, AUGUST 17, 1341.

The Tories are frantic with rage because it is
now understood, that, in meeting the new Par-
liament, the Ministry will bring on the question
of the Budget. After all the windings and
doublfngs of Sir R. PEEL and his supporters,—
after all the tricks and devices by which he con-
trived to evade an exposition of his trade and
financial policy, Lord Joux 11.ussELL determines
to seize the first hour of his triumph to wring
from him the details of his projects, or a confes-
sion of his incapacity. This is dreadfully morti-
fving to the Tories. They have misgivings as to
PEEL having any plan, and they are fright-
ened out of their wits at the idea of his
being obliged to acknowledge in the face of the
House of Commons that he sees no safety for the
country
save in a. partial adoption of every mea-
sure proposed by the Whigs. They fear that,
disgusted at the outset, many of the new Mem-
bers, returned as Tories, would refuse to follow
such a leader; and that to be as Conservative as
his Sovereign, and as tenacious of aristocratic
institutions as one of the most distinguished mem-
bers of the House of RUSSELL, might satisfy, to
his heart's content, any country gentleman called
to occupy a seat in the House of Commons.
But from whatever source springs the terrors of
the Tories, the Ministers owe it to themselves, to
the country, and to their principles, to affbrd the
new Parliament a fair opportunity of adopting
or rejecting that Budget upon which an appeal
has. been made to the nation. This is a question
gib direct and so momentous that nothing should
be ass*med respecting it which has not been sub-
mitted to the strongest proof of which it is capa-
ble. Defeated in the late House of Commons
the Ministers have appealed to the country.
Now, whatever may be surmised respecting
political complexion of the new House, it has
as yet expressed no opinion, either upon the
Budget or anything else. The proposed Corn_
law and the Sugar duties must be submitted to
the House of Conn/fens before it can be as.:Amed
4o have rejected them; and the Go.Jvernment
would indted act with culpable precipitancy
were Ministers to regulate their official conduct
in an affairnot of such gravity, by the votes of
the House of Commons, but by hustings,'
ad-
dresses, Ta.mworth qedack speeches, and the ad-
vices of Tory newspapers.
The Tories want the Ministers to desert the
Quensf- without waiting for the opinion of Par-
liament upon their policy. They want to have
an opportunity of representing her MAJESTY
as
shamefully abandoned by her advisers, that Sir
ROBERT PEEL may claim the merit of covering
her with the shield of Conservative protection,
and thus establish
his Sovereign aclaim

defeat by a shameful flight. The battle is yet to
be fought, and it is of the last importance that
the country shall ascertain the precise number of
its enemies.

The Tories affect to feel indignant that the
QUEEN should have language put into her mouth
which the future Premier may feel it his duty
to advise her to contradict. This considera-
tion was of as much moment when her
MAJESTY summoned her first Parliament as
it is now. The QUEEN'S Speech is always
constitutionally regarded as the speech of her
Cabinet, and nobody but some hair-brained Tory
could suppose for an instant that a speech com-
posed by Lords MELBOURNE and JOHN RUSSELL
would be so framed as to receive no contradiction
in a speech written by Sir ROBERT PEEL and Mr.
GOULBURN. The Tories have, however, hit
upon a method for preserving the consistency
of Royal speeches, and a very droll one it
is. The Speech is to be dictated by the chief of
the Opposition, and thus a change of Ministers
can effect no change in the language of Royalty.
When the Whigs are in office Sir ROBERT PEEL
is to compose QUEEN'S speeches, and when the
Tories gain power, Lord JOHN RUSSELL is to
dictate the terms in which it will be proper for
her MAJESTY to address her Parliament.

But here the cloven foot peeps out. The dis-
guise of an overweening tenderness for the feel-
ings of the Sovereign is so scanty, and so ludi-
crously put on, that it only serves to draw atten-
tion to the deformity which it is intended to
hide. From the eagerness of Sir R. PEEL to
keep Lord J. RUSSELL'S mouth shut, we suspect
the Tamworth Doctor proposes to drug her MA-
JESTY with Whig medicine. It is not be-
cause he has quite a different speech from them
to put into the mouth of the QUEEN that he
wants the Whigs to allow her to say nothing,
but because he has pilfered the ideas of the
speech which her MAJESTY'S present ladvisers
are bound to submit to her. Sir ROBERT PEEL
knows that he would cut hut a sorry figure
in the Cabinet of the Sovereign tendering to
her a second edition of a speech, which, as
leader of the Opposition, he had caused to be
rejected by the House of Commons. Even he
would blush to be thus compelled to admit that
his opposition to her late Government was fitc-
tious, and that his were struggles, not for the
triumph of great principles, but for the sordid
emoluments of office. He wants the
.present
Cabinet to rid him of this annoyance—
to save him this humiliation. He war,is,
by their silence, to be allowed to say
much of what they will tell, and *what
he feels convinced that he must tell the
country. The Ministry, we are confi-
dent, will do nothing of the sort. It is no part of
their business to clear the road to Downing-
street of those obstructions over which the Tories
are stumbling.

Accounts of commercial distress reach 113 from
all parts of the country. Trade is in a de-
plorably depressed state, and failures in manu-
facturing districts, to ruinous amounts, are af-
fairs of daily occurrence. From Manchester,
Leeds, Bolton, Bradford, Glasgow, and Paisley,
we receive, by every post, harrowing details of
the sufferings of the poor thrown out of employ-
ment, and obliged to subsist on an allowance
of the coarsest food, falling far short of what
is allotted for the maintenance of convicted
felons in our gaols and penitentiaries. The tri-
umph of the bread-taxers during the late
election has greatly increased the general dis-
tress. Many of the manufacturers now despair
of realizing- for themselves, and their workmen,
those advantages which they know would follow
from a more extensive commercial intercourse
with foreign countries, attendant upon a
comparatively free trade in corn. Their
care now is to keep what they have got, and
to risk as little as possible. The workmen
are gloomy and desponding, and in some places
desperate. They have lost all confidence in
public men, seeing that the rich care
nothing for their misery, when weighed in the
balance against high rents and dear bread. Every
day widens more and more the bi each which sepa-
rates the wealthy from the productive classes.
The workman sees himself thrown out of employ-
ment, his labour rendered valueless, and his wife
and children starving upon a dry crust and a
few potatoes, to increase the rent-roll of
some idle aristocrat, or force a higher market for
the surplus produce of the wealthiest class of,
agriculturists, and he regards both as his ene-
mies. This utter separation of the poor from the
rich is one of the very worst signs of the times.
Society must tumble to pieces if two of the
main bodies that compose it come to regard
each other with fear and aversion. No State can
stand after the extinction of those sympathies
which recognise in wealth a claim to respect,
and in poverty a right to support and protec-
tion. In this country the poor trusted
everything to the rich, and the depth of their
wretchedness shows the extent to which they
have been betrayed. It is in this stage of the
State malady that Doctor PEEL presents himself
with quack nostrums, which he refuses to show
unless we guarantee to swallow them whether
we like them or not. This mode of treat-
ment will not do. The case is too urgent.
Something must be done, and that right
speedily, or the worst symptoms will exhi-
bit themselves. To drop metaphor, the state
of the country is so alarming,—the misery
is so wide-spread, the disruption between
the idle and the productive classes is
so great,—that if a radical remedy be not
provided, we fear a state of things will
shortly prevail in England, to which we
would rather not give a name. The Tories called
their late election a triumph, the triumph of the
Monopolists and the Church. That would be
bad enough, but is something still worse. It
is the triumph of popular infidelity in the
pledges of public men. The Tories triumphed
because the mass of the people, distrusting them
and the Whigs alike, left both to fight the battle
of monopoly in any way they liked.

Sun of yesterday, will be found in another

may derive from the establishment of the Papal

this manifesto cannot fail to fill the breast of
