! are not' shrieking fkb," and the Corn laws crushes
1 them out of existence, without a murmur being
i directed against the real cause. The bread. tax
Inot only degrades the labouring classes, and actually
starves out of Existence the weak and the sickly of
I the poor, it fills our streets at this moment with
those hideous forms of wretchedness which conti-
nually remind us of Portugal or Italy.

in another part of The Sun appears a " Letter
to the People of England," &c., by the Rev.
HENRY ERSKINE HEAD. Though we do not
share Mr. HEAD'S opinions in the first part of the
letter, favourable to the law-made Church, we much
admire his observations on the danger to which
it is exposed by the profession of a modified
Papacy by many of its members. Other warn-
ings besides his have been given, but his im-
pressive warning will not, we tiust, be ne-
glected. The Church now boasts of several
Reformers, and, though some may be more able,
none, we believe, are more honest and more sin-
cere , than Mr. HEAD. His description of the
avowed Papists and the disguised Papists of time
Church of England is happy, and makes it quite
clear that to all the priestly vices of the former
the latter add consummate hypocrisy. Blow after
blow, then, from without and within, now fall in
rapid succession on the Church, reeling from its
own intoxication; and though Mr. HEAD protests
against its destruction, he will contribute to hasten
it. The reform of such a body will come too late
—its foundations are thoroughly rotten—no under-
pinning can keep it aloft ; and whenever it is se-
riously proposed to amend it, down it must tumble.

It will be seen, from a report in another part of
the paper, that Sir JAMES DUKE has come for-
ward as a candidate for the office of Alderman in
Farringdorn Ward, and that he will contest it to
the last with Mr. BUTTERWORTH, the Tory. It
would indeed be a disgrace to the Liverimen in this
district, so long represented in the Corm of Alder-
men by men of Liberal principles, if they were
tamely to stand by, while one of that hypocritical
party, that insulted them in raising a wicked cla-
mour against their late Alderman, quietly took
possession of his place.

The Times, by the impudence, of its assertions
this morning, surp3ses itself. " The Conservatives
have prosecuted the present Government to a con-
viction for offences beyond the reach of mercy,"
and, " there is scarcely a newspaper to be found
amongst the various interests of the metropolis
which ventures a word in their defence," are speci-
mens of its unshrinking boldness in making false
statements. The only jury before which the Mi-
nisters have been prosecuted by the Conservatives
is the House of Commons, and on every accusation
there presented the verdict has been an honour-
able acquittal. On Sir J. YARDE BuLLER's
motion at the beginning of the Ses-
sion, on Sir JAMES GRAHAM'S motion
concerning China, the Conservatives were convicted
of bringing false accusations. The abusive articles
in the Times have carried complete conviction to
the mind of the writer, and as he has accused,
without ever noticing either the delence or the ac-
quittal, he has retained the false and the firm con-
viction that the Ministers were found guilty. lie
is a memorable example of a person, not shut up in
Bedlam, reasoning himself into a permanent delu-
sion., which he perpetually seeks to force on the
public.
The accusations of the Times have led, we ad-
mit, to a conviction—but it is of the Times itself.
Over and over again it has been convicted of mak-
ing unfounded asseitions. On the question of the
famous new instrument of war, it was convicted of
an imposture ; while on the question of the
number, size, and completeness of our ships, and of
the number of their crews, it was convicted of fac-
tion and an endeavour unpatriotically to depreciate
the navy. It dreams of conviction, and raves of
conviction, for " offences beyond the reach of
mercy," like asman betrayed by his own conscience,
who intimates by one word, though applied to
another, the harrowing feelings of his own breast.

As to the other assertion, what need have the
Ministers of defence ? The only part of their
policy now questioned is war or peace, and on
that point they are supported by the Conserva-
tives. They have no more zealous advocates than
the ultra-Conservative Standard, and Sir R.
PEEL'S organ, the Morning Post. The Times
would fain find fault with their policy, but meeting
with no sympathy from its party, though it began
by scoffing, it ends by praise. If the Ministers
have few or no defenders, it is because on this point
they are not attacked. They are in opposition to
their Radical supporters, who, however, arc now
willing to believe that the Ministers are as desirous
of preserving peace as themselves, and as resolute
in preserving it, though they do not take the same
view of the best means of attaining that end, as
Sir W. MOLESWORTII and the friends of peace
at Manchester.

This is clear, too, whatever support they msy re-
ceive from the Press, is perfectly disinterested.
During the anxious time the question of peace or
war has been agitated, we cannot trace more than one
single fact, one interesting announcement, which
the Ministerial press has been made the vehicle of
communicating to the public. The Foreign-office
has kept all its secrets for itself. The Tory
Herald, the Tory Post, and the Tory Times, have
first obtained and published every document con-
cerning these interesting negotiations, except
one, which has been laid before the public.
Even the announcement that Lord PALMERSTON
had signed a commercial treaty with General HA R-
'moll as to Texas, so honourable to the Govern-
ment, was first communicated to the public by the
journal which to-day calumniously says of
the Ministers, that they have been convicted of
offences which leave no hope of mercy. If they
find any support from the public journals it is
as perfectly disinterested as that which they re
ceive from the Standard, the Post, and the
Times, on the Franco-Syrian question.

'e have copied from the Liverpool Courier, an
account of the wreck of the Lord Nelson, of Mil-
ford, in the vicinity of that vast emporium of trade,
which painfully illustrates the disregard of human
suffering which yet exists in some of our greatest
and most enlightened hot-beds of commerce. The
crew of the wrecked vessel, after being exposed for
a whole night to the fury of a tempestons sea,
lashed to the ringing of the only remaining mast,
were providentially descried by the generous-hearted
crew of a river boat, and after the most praise-
worthy exertions brought, more dead than alive,
to the office of the Merchant Seamens' Society
for Shipwrecked Mariners in Liverpool. The Se-
cretary of this institution, deeming the charge ex-
tra-official, or not being provided with instructions
to meet such a case in the way dictated by hu-
manity, referred the perishing sufferers to the chari-
table consideration of' the agents at LLOYD'S.
These gentlemen were of opinion that the ease
came within the province of the Humane Society,
and, however painful it might be to their feelings
to forego the performance of a good wolk, they
deemed it the most prudent course to refer them
to the parish office. Unable to go further, a coach
was here provided for them, and they were conveyed to
the workhouse, where they at last found a tempo-
orary asylum. The Master of the wrecked vessel

and his son, a mere lad of thirteen years of age, were
almost in a state of utter insensibility when the
workhouse door opened to receive them T.
This sad narrative of human suffering on one
side, and selfishness on the other, reflects great dis-
credit upon the mercantile community of Liverpool.
That in a town which owes everything to com-
merce, the famishing crew of a vessel wrecked upon
its coast should thus find every door closed against
them but that of the workhouse, is a reflection
distressingly humiliatitig. Explanations we shall
have no doubt, from the persons at whose doors the
perishing saiiors knocked in vain, all bearing tes-
timony to their unbounded charity, benevolence,
alacrity in relieving the distressed, and so forth ;
but the only explanation which shall satisfy us is
the adoption of some measure by the peopl2 of
Liverpool for preventing the recurrence of an
affair so disgraceful to a civilized, opulent, and
Christian community ; and we trust that something
more than empty praise will be awarded to the
brave boatmen who saved the lives of the crew of
the Lord Nelson. The conduct of these gallant
fellows almost atones for the inhumanity of their
fellow-townsmen.

Up to the hour of ou
going to press, the
French Journals of Wednesday had not arrived.

THE MARKETS:--(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
This week's arrivals hare been moderate of both Grain
and Flour. The indifference which has lately been com-
plained of continues to be manifested by our millers, and,
in consequence the Wlmat trade remains extremely dull,
with a disposition to lower prices. In Barley, Beans, and
Pease little doing. Oats held;firmly at Monday's terms,
with a moderate demand.
SMITHFIELD MARKET.
The trade for Beef was good, tho supply being short,
and a few good Scots fully realised ss. Mutton was much
in demand, and good Downs went off readily. Calves
were moderately supplied, and sold well. In Pork there
was but little alteration. .13e4sti, 552; Sheep, 3,230;

small from most parts, but_several ships are near at hand.

Extract of a letter from the Persian Gulf, received
by the last arrival fro India
The arrival of the CI-Ole:lel Binney With a full cargo
from Calcutta, has cheered the drooping spirits of the
merchants of Bushire. Our market has assumed a very
lively and animated appearance, and our town is now
filled with speculators from the interior of the country,
who eagerly compete with each other in effecting their
purchases of sugar, indigo,
and sal-ammoniac. The
prospect is certainly encouraging, and we all expect to
reap a handsome profit at the end. Ose thing I must
let you into the knowledge of—the unusually tardy
arrival of the Calcutta ships at our port has become a
subject of general complaint with us all."

BOURSE OF AMSTERDAM, Nov. 17.—The news more
or less disquieting from Paris on the march of events,
has caused a slight fall in the Funds.
Ardoin's Spanish was very animated, and several
purchases were made for houses at Antwerp, neverthe-
less the prices receded ; after 'Chew hour they re-
mained at 221 5-16.

THE FUNDS.
The Belgian Loan contracted for by Messrs. Roths-
child and Co. of Paris, has been brought into the

CHANCERY COURT-(THIS DAY.)

RAWSON V. SAMULL.
Counsel concluded their argumercs in this CtiSe, which
occupied the Court the whole of yeEterday, a: well as a
Considerable portion of this day.
The LORD CHANCELLOR postponed his judgment.
ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. IRONMONGERS' COMPANY.
The remakider of the day was consumed in hearing
counsel in this case, which came before the Court upon an
appeal from a decision of the Master of the Rolls, who
dismissed the information with cots. The facts of the case
were fully and aceuralely reported in The San wilco be-
fore the Rolls, and it is therefore unnecessary to repeat
them now.

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

The Court resumed the hearing of motions.
• HAWKE V. HEMP.

Mr. Anbts moved that the defendant as executor, might
be ordered to leave with his clerk in Court, the papers
and documents ac'ruitted by his answer to be in his poAs,:es.
sion, and also to pay into Court a suns of GOA, admitted
by hint to be in his hands.
Mr. Fot.t.ETT appeared for the executor, and stated
that a course had been punated in this case, which
he knew would meet with the stro»g disapprobation of
the Court. The plaintiff was an annuitant entitled
to fifteen shillings a..vireCk, charged upon the testator's
property. The executor, by his answer, admitted that
WV/. was in his hands, and that he also had certain deeds
and papers. The plaintiff's solicitor had given two dis-
tinct notices of motion ; one for the production of the
deeds and papers, and another for the payment of the
money into Court ; whereas one notice would have an-
swered the purpose. The consequence was, that
there bad been two notices of motion—two briefs
and two appearances, and the costs of course would be
double the amount they ought to have been. Had one no-
tice only been given the executor would have consented
to the motion, but as that course had not been pursued he
had thought proper to appear and to represent the circum-
stances to the Court.

Mr. Anuns said that the extra costs which had been
so grievously complained of could not be very great, for
the " briefs" consisted only of one sheet each.
The MASTER of the ROLLS observed that there had,
however, been two briefs and two appearances, and he
thought it was quite fit he should take such a course of
proceedings. lie would make early an order upon the
two notices, and that order should direct that any addi-
tional costs, occasioned by_the two notices, should be paid
by the plaintiffs. • _ _

A leis- other motions, chiefly of cause, were disposed of,
and the Court then proceeded with the cause of

THE ATTORMRY—GENERAL V. TOR GOVERNORS OF wisißoßNlc.
MINSTER GRAMMAR senooL.
This was an information filed by the Attorney-Gc-
ncral on the certificate of the Charity Commisioners,
praying that it mieht be declared that the whole of the
tithes of the parish of Winsbourne- Minster ought to be
applied to the charitable purposes mentioned. in the charter
of Charles the First.

The case was being opened by Mr. Pemberton when we
went to press. We shall give a full i °port of it to-morrow.

QUEEN'S BENCH..-(THIS DAY.)

( Sittings in Banco.)
DOE DEII. GRAHAM V. lIkWKINS.

The COURT gave judgment in this case, in which a rule
fur a new trial bad bcen moved for by Mr. Sergeant
Bompas, on a point reserved on tl;e mortmain. The
Court granted the rule. • •

COMPTON V. NUTT.

In this case the COURT rchisecltherule for a new trial.

WARNER v. COLTON.
In this case, which was an action upon a bond for which
the defendant pleaded payment, and obtained a verdict, a
rule was obtained for a new trial in the course of last term.
The COVET now gave judgment. The pica of the
defendant was payment, and although the money happened
to be the money of the Leamington Bank, yet it was paid
as any other money would have been. The plail..tiW hav-
ing received the amount for which his bond we.s assigned,
the Court saw no reason for disturbing the verdict.—Rule
discharged.

ENYS V. RENNETTS AND OTHERS.
This was an action of trespass tried before Mr. Justice
Coleridge, at the last Cornwall Assizes. The declaration
charged the defendant with breaking and entering a cer-
tain close belonging to plaintiff, called Croft Walker.
The pleai were first not guilty second, that the plaintiff
was not possessed ; third, that Croft Walker was part and
parcel of the Duchy of Cornwall, under which the defen-
dant held as lessee. After a trial of two days, the Jury
found for the plaintiff, and a rule was subsequently ob-
tained by Mr. Sergeant Bompas for a new trial, on the
ground of misdirection.
Mr. ERIE was yesterday heard at some length against
the rule, and the argument was resumed on the same side
this morning, by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL. The details
which related chiefly to the locality of Croft Walker, the
property in dirpiste„ were of no public interest, and occu-
pied the Court the entire day.
