hatred, which is due to sordid oppression, on
their own sacred office. ' -

Neither do we object, 'as we have on more
than one occasion said, to the wives and mothers
of England taking part in politics, but it becomes
them to take the side of humanity and charity.
They must not sacrifice the feelings, of woman-
hood to a theory,, nor side with power against
the suffering people for the preservation of an
abstraction. The lives of the people are of more
importance even than the Constitution, and much
more importance than the Corn••laws. If any
ladies, led by a mistaken party zeal, side, like
Dr. HOOK and others of the clergy, with the op-
pressors of the people, they must not be sur-
prised should even their claims to universal ho-
mage fail, in a time of excitement, to disarm
the hatred of savage hunger.
It has happened that ladies' heads have been
carried about streets on poles, or trailed in the
dirt; and it has happened, sufficiently within recol-
lection to serve both for a warning and an
example, that a priesthood has been compelled
to find safety in flight, and those who
braved_ the popular indignation forfeited their
lives to their temerity. In whatever lands
such scenes have occurred, or may occur, all
the injuries and insults, we are aware, which a
hallowed sex and a sacred calling have been
perverted to heap on the people, have been
forgotten, and one universal sympathy has been
felt for the outraged females and the outraged
clergy. Such a final result is, we ate afraid, too
likely to make all classes forget some of the
earliest links in the chain of which that
was the end. But in the moral, as in the phy-
sical world, events are closely connected by the
chain of causation, and the great multitude no
more does violence to its own nature, and loses
sight of its innate respect for the mothers and
teachers of mankind, without some sufficient
reason, than an apple falls to the ground,
or the moon wends her way in the hea-
vens. To see those who pass their days in ease
and opulence, who have all their wants supplied
by the unceasing exertions of the hardy sons of toil,
solicitous to narrow their reward, and grind them
down to poverty, to servility, and degradation, is
to all rightly-constituted minds as shockingly
disgusting as the slavery of the United States.
When we find such an-unamiable disposition in
the hard and griping dealers in money, it can -
not be too much censured; but when ladies
and clergymen take the same side, and cheer on
the unhallowed bread-taxers in their guilty
career, the moral world seems to us turned up-
side down, and we dread lest it can only be
righted by some terrible convulsion.

LONDON:
SATURDAY, JULY 3, 1841

It seems still necessary, long and earnestly as
Colonel THOMPSON and several other acute
writers and lecturers have dwelt on the subject,
to disabuse the multitude of the notion that
cheap and abundant corn is synonymous with
low wages. That the working classes should, to
any extent, have adopted that fallacy, is a
matter of surprise, but that they should have
greedily swallowed it, when taught-and enforced
by their old enemies, the Tories, whose whole
political existence has had for its object to im-
poversh, degrade, and coerce the labouring
classes into the most servile submission, has
astonished even those who know them best,
and have, through a long life, taken a deep in-
terest in their welfare. But they would not
have been so deceived had the doctrine not had
a Radical origin. It was put forward first by
one who professed the warmest zeal in behalf
of the labourers, conjoined with politics of an
ultra, or republican character. Under the
shield of a humble newspaper writer, without
acknowledging their obligations, Tory Review-
ers, Pamphleteers, and Journalists have fought
their battle concerning wages, and have obtained
more success than .was anticipated. We are
glad, therefore, to see new antagonists and their
old antagonists again taking the field; and we
recommend to public attention the extract we
elsewhere insert, from a pamphlet by a Mr.
THORNTON, who is, we believe, a new antago.
nist, while we shall place here a portion of Mr.
VILLIERS' address to his constituents at Wolver-
hampton, who is one of the staunchest, and on
this point one of the oldest, antagonists the
, Tories have :

Mr. llrmE has been rejected at Leeds. The
most useful man of the House of Commons has'
been repelled by a constituency composed of ma-
nufacturers, which invited him to offer himself
as a candidate to represent their borough. We
are sorry to see the folly and ingratitude of that
great manufacturing community, and can find
for it n. explanation or excuse. A better servant
no constituency can have—a servant more suit-
able to the free-trade-loving and bread-taxed-in-
jured manufacturers of Leeds, could not be found.
Yet Mr: HumE has been rejected. The contest,
which isreally onebetween free-trade and shack le d
trade—between justice and oppression—between
right and wrong—has unfortunately been made
to turn on the respective merits of Whig and
Tory; a ad Mr. IlumE has probably been rejected
on account of the inefficiency of the Whigs,
which ke has not been able to prevent. Leeds
will, ere. long, regret this more than Mr. HumE,
who must, on the whole, be pleased, we think, at
his time. of life, to be honourably released from
longer serving an ungrateful public.

If he be not tired of such a task, there is yet
an opening for him in Middlesex. The noble
spirit displayed in Marylebone and the Tower
Hamlets, notwithstanding the base and. sordid
trickery of the City, and the loss of Westmin-
ster by unforgivable carelessness and overweening
confidence, convinces us that Mr.W ooh—Colonel
WOOD, we think the man is called—is not se-
cure for Middlesex, if an exertion be made
to- unseat him. It may not be compatible with
Mr. 1-1113tE'S wishes and views to offer himself as
a candidate, but it is incumbent on the. electors
of Middlesex to put him up, and carry him
triumphantly into Parliament. By so doing,
they will retrieve the damaged reputation of the
metropolitan districts, and show Leeds, with all
its boasting, that the metropolis knows better
than it how to honour worth, and reward long-
tried public services.
We have observed that the Vicar of Leeds,
Dr. Hoox, took an active part in the contest.
He hastened home from the foot of the Alps,
he said, the instant he heard of the dissolution ;
and he hastened to Leeds, to throw the whole
weight of his influence into the Tory scale. We
do not object to clergymen mingling in politics.
On the contrary, we think it their duty to inter-
fere with.xneti in all their relations, so far as ad-
vising and counselling them goes; but it is M-
dispensible that they take the moral and the
just side. In one 'of his latest pamphlets, the
Rev. THOMAS SPENCER says—
„How can they be without excuse who, in the midst of a
pauperised and drunken poor, and with legal di shenesty
and political turpitude amongst the rich,instead of
" warning every man and teaching every man after the
manner of the Apostle, are content with the applause of
an admiring audience. Surely the same responsibilityatta,ehes i
to them as to the prophets of old if they are
wanting in fidelity—" When I Lay unto the wicked, thou
Slialt surely die ; and thou givest him not warning, nor
speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to
save his life, the same wicked man shall die in his ini-
quity ; but his blood will I require at thine hand."
When external profession takes the place of real piety—
when indiscriminate almsgiving usurps the province of
judicious benevolence—when indolence feeds on State
pensions or on parish pay ; when Members of Parlia-
ment, elected by bribery and intimidation, yet falsely
pretending to be the representatives of the people, uphold
oppressive laws ; and when the degraded multitudes be-
take themselves to the intoxicating cup for comfort, then
is the command given to every minister of religion,
" Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet
and show the people their transgression ;" then to the
clergy who receive the tithes, and to the Dissenting mi-
nisters who receive the pew rents from the congregations
to whom they speak smooth things, and from whom they
keep back all faithful admonitions, the language of
Scripture is, " Thus saith the Lord God unto the shep-
herds, woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed
themselves ! Should not the shepherds feed the flock ?
Ye cett the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill
them that are fed ; but ye feed not the flock. the dis-
eased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed
that which was sick, neither have ye bound up• that
which was broken, neither have ye brought again that
which was driven away,. neither have ye sought that
which was lost ' • but with force and with cruelty have
ye ruled them. My flock was scattered upon all the face
of the earth, and none did search or seek after them."
Our charge against Dr. Hoox, and those who
take the same views, is, that they maintain and
uphold oppressive and unjust laws; they lift up
their voices in favour of injustice, they urge un
the tyrant in his tyranny, and administer ap-
probation to his seared conscience ; they fleece
the poor instead of feeding them, to fatten them-
selves. They should be the protectors of the

Above [all (says Mr. Villiers) do I feel proud, as
your representative, that you have been proof against the
idle things that have been said to you to shake you in
your opinion, and to induce you to think well of laws
maintained for the purpose of making a few men rich at
the expense of the many.—(Cheers.) You have seen
through the dishonest purpose for which they' have been
uttered, and you have treated them with the scorn they
deserve.(Hear, hear.) You have not believed that
stupid lie, that abundance of food will make your con-
dition worse, or, as they call it, give you bad wages.—
(Hear, hear.) You were not cheated by the idle non-
sense that tells you, that less food in a country was better
than more.(Cheers.) You know too well what has
been the effect of dear food on your trade, and on your
wages.—(Cries of " We do !") You can settle that
question by the answer you give to the question, Are
your wages good now ?—(Loud cries of " No, no •
bad !") Is your trade good now ?—(No, no.) Is food
dear now ?—(Yes, yes.) Have you got the Corn laws
now ?—(Yes, we have.) Well, then, suppose you had
had a doubt as to whether scarcity was a blessing, as
they tell you, and abundance a curse, it might be worth
while to change the Corn-laws, if it was only for mak-
ing the experiment of plenty.—(Cheers and laughter.)
But you are not such dolts as to be gulled by such rub-
bish. You know, as all men who have brains in their
heads do know, that mens' wages depend upon the de-
mand for them, not upon the price of bread ; and you
know better than I can tell you what the difference is
between five men seeking one master, and five masters
seeking one man—(" We do, we (16," and loud cheers)
—and you know that free trade means more trade, which
means more demand for men, which means the time
when men can get more wages.—(" Right," and cheers.)
That'is putting an important truth in a homely
and useful way. Had our cause a few more such
sturdy champions as Mr. VILLIERS, our success
would be speedy ; at present it is assured, though
the day of triumph may be distant. The decree
of a majority cannot turn wrong into right, and
no number of monopolists, however overwhelm-
ing, can give the bread-taxers the security that
agitation on the subject is at an end.
To add our mite to the heap we have bor-
rowed, we must observe that it is quite sickening
to find the hypocritical Tories, the constant ad-
vocates of impressment, corporeal punishment,
disfranchisement, and every hard, brutal punish-
ment and treatment which degrades the people,
opposing the abolition of the Corn-laws, because
a free trade with Germany and Russia will re-
duce, as they say, our labourers to eat black
bread like the Germans. Our toil-worn millions
might, and would, heartily rejoice, were they as
wel l fed,
clothed, and housed as those black-
bread-eaters.The people at the same time can-
not forget, though the bread-taxers seem to
forget it, that the abolition of the law, which
would extend our commercial intercourse with
the serfs of Poland would also extend it with
btheafdreies men
of
the United States. There white
re
abundant and cheap, and there wages
are twice or thrice as high as in England. While
the Tories pretend to fear lest the degradation of
the Polish serfs should be the lot of our people
o
from free-trade, their real apprehension, we

b
of our drawing large supplies of food from the
United States than from Germany or Russia.
In these latter countries all the land is occupied,
and enterpriSe is comparatively unknown. From
the settled habits of the people there is no pro-
bability that any demand for food from England,
however extensive, would prompt them greatly
to improve and extend their cultivation. In the
former country much of the soil is yet unappro-
priated, and yields abundantly ; the people are
enterprising and are pushing cultivation in every
direction ; it is especially adapted to their situa-
tion and manners. If free commercial inter-
course, therefore, is to bring the labourers of dif-
ferent nations to the same level, it is much more
likely to raise the English to the condition of the
American than lower it to that of the Polish serfs.
Already, as our readers are probably well
aware, the United States take more of our pro-
i ducts than the whole_ of the North of Europe, ,

_ •
poor, and the smiters of the oppressor; but they
league themselves with the strong and the
wieLed, to crush the honest and the weak.
When the clergy take part in' politics, they
ought to take the right side. To unite them-
selVes with the bread-taxers, is to direct the

including the Netheilands, the inhabitants
of which are certainly not worse off than the
people of England. In 1836, according to Mr.

PORTER, the exports to the •United States were
of the declared value of 12,425,0001., while the
exports to the North of Europe were only
9,999,000/. The United States is a rapidly pro-
gressing country, Germany is not ; and, with
free trade, our traffic with the United States
would undoubtedly increase much more rapidly
than our trade with Germany. This is what the
Tories'are afraid of ; and they have laboured to
humbug and terrify the people with the black
bread a Germany, in order to prevent them
from sharing the abundant white bread and
high wages of the United States. Above all
things they dread lest extended intercourse with
America should inspire our enslaved labourers
with a desire for greater feedom, and means of
obtaining it. The working classes have listened
to the Tory falsehoods; they have again believed
their old enemies and betrayers, and have not
demanded cheap bread because the Tories told
them that would bring low wages.

In the course of his speech at the close of
the Westminster election, Mr. LEADER said,
" There was a large and influential body of
electors, the Licensed Victuallers, opposed to
the Government, and whe, therefore, furnished
Westminster with • a Tory candidate." Mr.
LEADER and the Government have found out
the truth too late. The cruel treatment of pub-

licans, and those who frequent their houses,
under certain provisions of the Police Act,
passed last Session, have alienated from the Go-
vernment probably one half of their supporters
in London and 'Westminster. However strong
may be a man's political principles, these must
give way to personal interest and convenience ;
and when it is admitted by all, except some of
the Police Magistrates, that publicans and trades-
men were harassed beyond endurance by the
wilful misconstruction of one of the clauses of

that Act, without serving any one useful pur-
pose, can Mr. LEADER and Colonel EVANS and
the Government, be surprised that the electors
have taken vengeance at the election for this
wanton interference with their liberty? We
know several "publicans who were fined by Mr.
HALL, the Chief Magistrate of Bow-street,
51. each for serving refreshments a few
minutes after twelve on Saturday night policr...

men entered the houses of the most respee.able
licensed victuallers, like the Bens Grmes of
France. Nay, they did what never was done in
France, they acted the part of eves-droppers,
peeped through the key-holes, reported to the
Magistrates that they heard people talking, and
saw them drinking; and the Magistrates, in due
course, inflicted a penalty. These, however, were
not the only grievances of which the people had
to complain. The theatres in Westminster, as is
well known, are barely over on Saturday night
by twelve, but no refreshment could be had at a
public house for the hundreds that left the
houses parched with thirst, and repeatedly have
we heard the most violent imprecations uttered
against those who so cruelly and so uselessly in-
terfered with the comforts of the people. Did
the Members for Westminster take any steps to
remedy the evil? None. Are we then to be
surprised that they were to be regarded by such
apathy by some, and with such dislike by others,
that an aristocratical Tory, totally unknown to
them, should have been placed triumphantly at
the head of the poll ? The framers of :this ob-
noxious clause never contemplated the mode in
which it has been carried into effect; and so
ashamed are the Magistrates, who were the most
violent in enforcing the utmost penalty, of their
impolitic and atrocious decisions, that houses are
now kept open till one o'clock, and no inspector
or policeman ventures to interfere. But the evil
has been consummated. The Government has,
we verily believe, lost two votes in London and

Letters and papers from Madrid of the 24th ult. have

CONFESSIONS AND. REITERATED FALSEHOODS-OF THE
"TIMES."--In the Times of to-day is the following para-
graph, speaking of Mr. Roebuck's speech at Bath :
" The first thing we have to do, in criticising this speech,
is an act of justice—namely, to state that Mr. Roebuck
disavows the placard (upon which we have commented
more than once) in which he was represented as offering
to relieve the people from the national debt by the sum-
mary process of the sponge. Mr. Roebuck disavow.; not
only the placard, but its principle. It is, of course, unneces-
sary for us to state, that our information concerning this
placard was derived from a source which we supposed to
be credible • nor were we aware that it had hem con-
tradicted till we read Mr. Roebuck's speech in a Go-
vernment paper on Thursday last. There is nothing in
the Hon. Gentleman's political creed which could have
led us to regard his adoption of such a placard as at all
improbable or inconsistent."
Ten days after the true nature of that placard had
been pointed out. in this Journal, the Times, having in
the interim, twice charged its 'contents on the Radical
Member, admits that it twice told falsehoods. How
candid and how honest. Who will believe in the teeth
of such a confession that it does not to-day tell another
story, when it says that the "information con-
cerning this placard was derived from a source
which we opposed to be credible." We tell the
Times it kifows better, that it knew from the first
the true nature of the placard, and that it does by this
apology only add, if that be possible, to its misconduct.
It would not at the same time even confess its guilt
without endeavouring to fasten an imputation on Mr.
Roebuck. There is nothing in that gentleman's political
creed which warrants the Times in implying that his
adoption of the plan announced in the placard was pro-
bable and consistent,
LYME REGIS, DORSET.—A large sturgeon, weighing
upwards of 1001bs., was taken off Lyme this morning,
and forwarded immediately, by the humble Conservative
voters of Lyme Regis, to the Right Hon. Sir Robert
Peel, as a mark of their admiration and esteem for his
political conduct.—[The sturgeon is called a Royal Fish,
and is generally sent to her Majesty. The Lyme Regis
Conservatives would seem to regard Sir Robert Peel as
already on the throne. We know that he aspires, as the
head of the monopolists, virtually to dethrone the Lady
patroness of free trade and increased revenue without in-
creased burthens, but this is the first recognition we have
yet met with of his actual sovereignty. We, however,
are not disposed to make the cotton-spinner's son—be-
come a great bread-taxer—our sovereign, and we shall
decline following the example of the Conservatives of
Lyme Regis, and shall withhold our homage till the
monopolists have forced him on the throne.—ED. Sun.]
THE REPUBLIC AND THE MONARCHY.—FeW weeks
pass without the Times and the rest of the Tories howl-
ing against the manners and morals of the Great Western
Democracy. We have, in the cause of truth and justice,
on those occasions, directed the attention of our readers
to the quietness and order with which their elections are
conducted. At the late election of President, when the
suffrages of the whole adult male population were col-
lected, not a single row or broken head disturbed the
peace and harmony of the people. Our elections are not
yet over. Suffrages not above the tenth part of those
collected in America have here been collected. We have
had rows at Nottingham, Carlisle, Wigan, &c., and eight
lives have been lost. With an example before us so
pregnant with instruction, we must recommend the To-
ries not to provoke comparisons which cannot be advan-
tageous to the Monarchy.

to complain of the publicans or the electors.
While their constituents were subjected to a sys-
tem of espionnagc hitherto unknown in this
country, and to heavy penalties for an imaginary
offence, they were nightly performing the part
of " dumb dogs that could not bark." Months
ago we confidently stated what would be the
consequence of such fatuous conduct, and to our
great regret the prediction has been fulfilled?

The right-hearted and well-principled address
of Sir JOSHUA WALMSLEY to the electors of Li-
verpool is one of the neatest and best written
to which the elections have yet given birth.
While Sir JOSHUA renders all honour to the
courtesy of his opponents, he does not scruple
to denounce the numerous flagitious means
which have been employed to defeat him.
While he gracefully acknowledges his defeat, he •
strenuously contends for the righteousness of his
cause, and expresses a well-founded confidence,
such as upright men feel, that in the end it will
certainly triumph. He does not spare the
electors of Liverpool, which owes its greatness
to manufactures and foreign commerce, for not
having done justice to themselves; and he pro-
mises them that, as far as he is concerned,
they shall not want opportunities to re-
cover their character. The present contest
is only the first of those contests which
must finally compel the Tories to adopt the mea-
sures they now oppose, or to look on passively
and sullenly while the good is achieved—for
achieved it must be—by their opponents. We
cordially recommend Sir JOSHUA WALMSLEY'S
address to our readers, and must say that, though
defeated, he has rendered our good cause a noble
sevice. Liverpool will ere long repent its rejec-
tion of one of the worthiest of its citizens.

We are in receipt of Paris papers and letters of Thurs-
day. Our correspondent mentions under that date the
arrival of the Indian mail, via Marseilles, which reached
the French capital that morning.
The KING and Royal 2amily have left Neuilly for Eu.
It appears that no"avithstanding the positive denial of
the papers in the pay of the French Government, that
the fortifications were about to be conducted on a re-
duced and economical, that is to say, inefficient, scale for
the continuous wall, as was asserted by the Liberal pa-
pers ; it appears that there was not only some truth, but
a great deal of truth in the assertion. A proposal was
made in the Committee of Fortifications to that effect,
and was only lost by a very small majority—the offi-
cers composing which will not thereby rise in favour at
Court. The opposition papers continue to call loudly
for explanations ; but their adversaries observe a pru-
dent silence, and leave the matter, as being a bad one,
alone. There are so many discontented officers of all
ranks in the army, and so many of these again are in,
Paris, that any flaw in the conducting of the fortifica-
tions runs a great chance of being detected, and it is con-
sidered bad policy on the part of the Government thus
to be playing fast and loose on a question so intimately
connected with the continuance of the present dynasty
on the throne of France.

It is pretty certain that Admiral LALANDE is not
desirous to have the command of the Mediterranean fleet,
even if it should be offered him, which is very doubtful.
He is now on a visit at Brest, and is not
at all desirous of " sailing in the same boat "
with M. GUIZOT and Marshal SOULT. There
is a rumour mentioned by several papers that Marshal
SEBASTIANI is intriguing to get re-appointed to the Em-
bassy at London ; and we have reason to know that the
report is not without foundation. The Marshal has al-
ways expressed himself in terms of regret at having been
forced to give up so eligible an appointment, and to re-
member the delights of English dinners and English
aristocratical society too well not to wish to get back to
Manchester House. The carrying that wish into effect
is not so easy. M. GUIZOT is personally opposed to
him ; he looks on the Marshal as a man without bottom,
not stable enough for critical times, and too open to the
cajolery
M. DE ST. AULAIRE, however, has not of any one who may take him in hand.
ac-
cepted the post, and the Marshal has been try-
ing the effect of a personal application, indirect of
course, to the KING, by whom he has always been pre-
ferred to men of the GUIZOT school as more tractable,
and more inclined to fall in with the KING'S own views.
That Austria objects to the son, of Marshal SOULT
coming to Vienna as Ambassador with the title of
Marquis de DALMATIA is positive. Prince METTER-
NICE has given it to be understood that his Cabinet does
not object so much to titles taken from any decisive en-
gagement won by the person bearing it, but that it will
not admit one taken from a province conquered, or rather
said to be conquered, by a stroke of a despot's pen.
The Northern Powers are about to recognise the Go-
vernment of DUNA. MARIA in Portugal, now that the
obstacles on the part of the Papal Court are done away.
Such a measure would necessarily bring about a demand
from Spain for a similar recognition ; but this the
Northern Courts will not agree to make until some posi-
tive pledges, or rather meoures, are extorted from the 1
