ECCLESIASTICAL.

Mr. Harris, of Alford, Lincolnshire, a talented Dis-
senting preacher, has added another convert to th.
Romish faith. As an independent preacher, he for a
number of years inveighed against " the horrors of
Popery," and denounced the doings of Catholics as mad-
ness itself. He is reported to have lately had corre-
spondence with Mr. Sibthorp. His chapel is now closed,

appear a very doubtful one.

INSOLVENT' DEBTOR'S COURT, Nov. 20.

IN THE NATTER OF EDWARD HALL.

The insolvent applied to be discharged on bail, and
offered as sureties Win. Rogers and Robert Howe.
The latter person was examined by Mr. COOKE for
the opposing creditor, as to his solvency, and his state-
ments created astonishment and disgust in the Court.
He swore he was worth 1,0001., and resided in Gros-
venor-mews, as a job-master, and. had ferty-seven
horses ; that he held a situation in the Tower, and
that he had a large quantity of property. In his
cross-examination, he could only account for two
horses, which were let to a Mr. Burrell, who bad been
at Rome; but where he or the horaes were now he did
not know, but thought they were " somewhere" on
the Continent. Ile also thought he let two of them
on hire to Lord Lowther ; but, again, so far as Howe's
statement went, his Lordship was " non est." He also
stated that he had a quantity of plate, which, upon his
cross-examination, turned out to be a few spoons, and a
Britannia metal tea-pot.
The Learned COMMISSIONER, in disgust, ordered him
to leave the bar and similar objections being made so
the other surety, the insolvent was remanded to prison.
Sir William Cathcart Boyd, Knt., appeared before the
Court to receive judgment.
Mr. Commissioner Lam, in giving judgment, said that
in this case of Boyd he had to pronounce the judgment
recorded. There had been a pause in the case by seve-
ral persons claiming to be creditors, and he had given
them an opportunity to take the cases out of the statute.
They had, however, failed, and on the ground of the age
of the debts the insolvent had objected to insert them in
his schedule. The insolvent would take no protection
from the parties who appeared, and he was at their
mercy in any other proceedings against him. They
were not inserted in the . schedule, and he was liable to
any further means they might adopt. The Learned
Commissioner remanded the insolvent for eight calendar
months from the vesting order, for fraudulently con-
tracting the debt with Mr. Hall.
The insolvent, who has been twelve months in prison,
will be detained some months longer. He originally
called himself a doctor of medicine ; but the Court held
that he was not entitled to the designation, and he then
described himself as a " medical attendant and author."
His case created considerable interest, He was removed
to the Fleet, to undergo the judgment of the Court.

LAW AND POLICE.

A man at W ootton Bassett was lately taken into
custody for threatening to beat a woman. Whether
acting under Mpgistrate's advice or not is unknown, but
he was unceremoniously put into the Blind-house, and
from the Saturday to the ensuing Thursday confined
there. After an undecisive examination, he was again
thrust into this miserable hole—unallowed to breathe
fresh air, or obey the calls of nature. He has since
been dismissed. Surely investigation is required here.

The French Journals of Wednesday devote their
leading columns to an examination of the conduct of the
Government at Toulouse. The Constitutionnel condemns
the arbitrary conduct -of M. Duval in enforcing a Royal
Ordinance which he had wrongly transcribed, and:whith,
being consequently illegal, the late Mayor was justified
in resisting. The Courrier Francais says, that the Mi-
nisters have hitherto been wanting in energy and
prudence with respect to Toulouse, and that‘ in
this deplorable affair they heap fault upon fault.
The National contends that if the Crown be al-
lowed to dissolve municipalities by a mere ordinance,
without providing for a new election, it may one day or
other attempt the same with the Chambers. The France
hurls defiance at the Cabinet, and dares the Procureur-
General to pr)secute the late Mayor. The Debuts
wishes the Government to give some explanations
which France .has - a right to demand, but
expresses no decided opinion upon the question. So
much for the political tone of the French journals. We
understand that the Government has accepted the chal-
lenge of the France, and will proceed to the prosecution
of the late Mayor of Toulouse before the Court of Cor-
rectional Police. This indeed is the very height of mad-
ness!

Mehemet Ali is intriguing for the Regency of the
Ottoman Empire, should the Sultan be gathered to his
fathers before his brother is of age to gird his loins with
the sword, and envelope his shoulders with the mantle of
the Prophet. •

The Sultan has directed brilliant decorations to be
prepared for all the members of Mehemet Ali's family.

All the tailors and other artizans in a certain vil-
lage of Franco have lately coalesced for the purpose of
making known to each other the names of such customers
as are uncareful of payment, and are determined to give

the former debts. A Counter Company of young men
has arisen, who intend to expose every master tailor,
boot►naker, and hatter of this elique in Brussels.

rOREIGN.
The Levant, Mail brings the important intelligence
that the insurrection in Candia is nearly at an end.
What no force at the disposal of the Porte could accom-
plish,has been effected by conciliation. The Divan lis-
tened to the advice of the Great Powers, and by pro-
mising the immediate redress of the evils complained of
by the Cretan Christians brought them to lay down their
arms. We trust that England and France will take care
to see the pledges made by the Porte fully redeemed.
Three rather important rumours were circulated at
Constantinople—first, that the old Emir Beschir was
about to be re-instated in command of the Mountains in
Syria ; second, that Ahmed Fethi Pacha, brother-in-law
of the Sultan, was about to be appointed Ambassador
at the Court of London ; and, third, that .Hr. Ongley,
British Consul at Candia, had been ordered by Lord
Ponsonby to proceed to Constantinople, to account for
his conduct relative to the insurrection in that island.
What truth there may be in these rumours we know not.
The Shah of Persia is playing the despot to admi-
ration. According to a military correspondent of the
Constitutionnel, he amuses himself by cutting off from
thirty to forty heads daily. This is a luxury in which
only Oriental despots can indulge. By the
theory of the Ottoman Constitution, as inter-
preted by the Sheik -ul-Islam, the Sultan may
with his own hand cut off the heads of
fifteen of the Faithful daily without assigning
any cause for such an extraordinary mark of
Imperial condescension ; but as Abd-ul-Mejid's tastes,
and the progress of European ideas, are opposed to such
Royal pastimes, this branch of the prerogative of the
Khalifat is likely to fall into desuetude. What bitter
satires upon Monarchical Governments are many of the
prerogatives of Kings.

The latest accounts from French Africa represent
the progress of disease among the troops as really
alarming. In a column of 4,000 strong, 800 are reported
sick. The Arabs have fought well of late. The French,
in fact, are teaching them to become their masters in the
art of war.

The French Minister of Commerce, AI. Gridaine,
and the ex-Empress of Morocco, have been interchang-
ing civilities and presents at Marseilles, where her Ma-
jesty is performing quarantine. M. Gridaine presented
himself before the Lady as Vizier of the Sultan
of the French, upon which she presented him
with a cake and two boxes of pastiles. Not to be out-
done in acts of munificence, the French Minister made
her Majesty an offering of pastry which she accepted,
and relished amazingly. Her Majesty is quite an Afri-
can beauty,. weighing a couple of tons and upwards. She
is very anxious to visit the harem of the Sultan of the
French.

THE CORN-LAWS.

" In the abstract, it can be of no consequence to the
people, it is supposed, whether they receive commercial
reform, the needed reform of the present time, from the
hands of Sir R. Peel or Lord J. Russell. What we
want,' say a great number of persons, is a reduction of.
the corn•tax and the ingar duties, With an extension of
trade; and if Sir R. Peel wiltgiVe us that, as he can curry
measures through the Lords which Lord J. Russell could
not, we shall be as well pleased to see Sir R. Peel in
Ace as Lord J. Russell.' That is a prevailing sort of
worldly wisdom to which Sir R. Peel owes much of his
success."—Sun.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.
MANCIIESTER, Aug. 4.

'Sir,—Though taken from the Radical Sun, theabove
extract is quite true ; hundreds here voted for Sir George
Murray on this express ground. In Leeds and other
towns the same ; the people were sick of the Whigs, and
supported the Conservatives because they expected some
good measures from them, which the Whigs had not the
power to carry. But should Sir R. Peel disappoint their
expectations, I need not tell you that these would all
oppose him in future, and another election would
tell a different tale. No more Leeds Conservative
Members
,then, You may depend. You, Sir, have
more :power than all the press besides, and I do trust
you will warn the Conservatives- from splitting on that
rock of non-attention to the public will. You, Sir, must
know that any measure on the Corn-laws short of placing
corn in such a position as to cause it to be a regular
trading article from abroad, will not be satisfactory, and
you also knew that a sliding scale,- of whatever amount,
will prevent merchants from trading in it regularly as in
other things.
Now, for Heaven's sake, do
.say• something on this
point, and show the farmers, as' you very well can
do, that they can prosper in the long run only as
the manufacturers prosper, and point out the supe-
riority of a fixed duty to a sliding scale—in a
thousand ways I need not tell you. But don't forget
that with a sliding scale, corn, if wanted, must al-
ways be paid for in gold: not so with a fixed duty,
when it would be imported by merchants, like all
other produce, and only when wanted, for the law
•of nature would keep it out when it would not pay.
You 'mist see, that if the Conservatives are to stand
or fall by adhering to the sliding scale, their fall is
certain, and that before long. Let them give us
good measures—duties to protect sufficiently, but not
to prohibit. You have written in correspondence with
these views before, many times ; now is the time for you
to do so again, and if you could succeed in prevailing on
the Conservatives to meet such molerate views, they aro
safe in power for years to come ; but not else, as you
Would say if you lived in Lancashire, and kneW any
thing of the present state of 'manufacturers. Unless im-
provement come SOON, convulsion is inevitable.

I'Silt it. PEEL'S MANIFESTO.
In the present dearth of domestic news, trifles which
would otherwise be despised, rise in value and are
greedily devoured. On no other principle can wr.
count for the prominence given to Sir Robert Peel's re-
cent speech at Tamworth. A more empty at, -1 unsatis-
factory harangue was never delivered, and ye; during
the past week it has supplied-daily food for the press.
Sir Robert has paid his addresses to the public, but re-
fused to satisfy them that his intentions are honourable.
In place of setting forth the principles on which he means
to act, or indicating the measures by which he proposes
to make up the deficiency in the revenue, the Right lion.
Baronet amused himself with trifling newspaper on flits,
and candidly declared that he would keep his counsel
until fairly ensconced in office.
All this seems very strange, and has laid him, open to
the charge of a degree of reserve and concealinent, un-
worthy of his position as leader of the party about to re-
sume office. Let us, however, do the Right Hon. Baro-
net justice. Our Liberal Contemporaries proceed upon
the assumption that he possesses some secret—that
having condemned the measures of the Whigs, he has
something to propose in their stead. But no such thing.
To us it appears that he stands very much in the situa-
tion of Canning's knife-grinder,—
" Story! God bless you, I have none to tell, Sir!"
His great object and that of his party has been to defeat
the Whigs. To accomplish this, they have toiled for
years, and, through the apathy of the people, they have
at length succeeded. They proposed no measure of re-
form—they came not forward as the advocates of any
popular principle, and the country has no right to expect
any boon at their hands. They are pledged to nothing,
and will yield as little as possible—the object for which
they have struggled being attained the moment they
enter the Cabinet. Why, then, expect from Sir It. Peel
a manifesto of how he will act? He has been lavish
enough of the stale cant about "maintaining the institu-
tions of the country in Church and State," which means
that he is determined, if possible, to uphold every abuse;
and the result of the elections has shown that in the pre-
sent state of ignorance and apathy, it is enough for his
purpose. He, therefore, proposes nothing—first, because
the corrupt constituencies of England have accepted him
at his own tefms ; and, secondly, because he wishes to
do nothing if he can help it. He may be forced to make
concessions to the people, but these are not matters of
which he is anxious to claim the initiative, or of which
he can be expected to boast. Hence the bareness of his
recent speeches, and his refusal to indicate the kind of
measures he will advance. He neither
,knows what ho
may be suffered to do by his party, nor what he may be
compelled to do by the people ; and in this st;ste of ig-
zserstneu as to. the future, anything very explini: respect-
ing the line of policy he may find it necessary to adopt,
is of course out of the question.—Scotsman.

PEEL THE EMPIRIC.

DEFINITION OF A QUACK.—A Quack—a boastful pre-
Under to arts which he does not understand. A Quack—one
who proclaims his own medical abilities in public places. A
Quack—an artful, tricking practitioner.—See English Die-.
tionary, and the Tamworth speech.

And if a man did need a poison now
Here lives a caitiff wretch would sell it him.
Romeo and Juliet.

There are strange things spring up now-a-days,
There's Peel—'tis the strangest of any—
Whose proper vocation you know
Was to manage the spindle and jenny,—
Late has clapped on a big powdered wig
And a suit of atrocious deep sable,
And swears he has got all the cures
In the pharmacopceical table.
But before he his practice begins
Or poisons, or punctures, or throttles,
He arrays with true doctorly skill
Ilis phalanx of flame-coloured bottles.
You may see them superbly arranged
Any one of these fine summer evens,
If you'll just take the trouble to peep
At his physic-shop down at Stephen's.
Doctor Peel sought a patient, and soon
With his card upon sickly John, Bull he
Made a call—cried his medicals down—
" They knew nothing, and he knew him fully."
Felt his purse—shook his head—grew alarm'd -
Spoke abuse of his last doctor—Russell,
Breaded of speed—symptoms—physic and death—
Said he'd save him—and left in a bustle.
Doctor Peel to his surgery sped,
And loftily ehmlcled when so/us,
There concocted with true quackish skill
First, a draught, then a " No Reform " bolus.
" Mustn't let go my practice," quoth Peel ;
" Must reduce and bleed Bull's' constitution,
Just allow him to gasp and to breathe,
But—no word of complete restitution.' "

But, parbleu! Doctor Peel the next day
Calling, caught John deliciously greeting
Cups of well-sugar'd coffee and ruin,
While a chicken's white wing he was eating—
" Sacre Dieu !" cried the DoctOr, prophaned,
" Rare food that for you, my fine jewel I
Fowl, indeed ! no, no, black bread and grits
I alone can allow, with grey gruel."
" I'll be whipt"—said John Bull in a tiff
(For John's stomach will very soon rumble)
If your quackship shall reign over me ;"
While he rose with a growl and a grumble :
High the old lion lifted his paw,
Swung in fury, then, with a loud roar, he
Spurned the Quack—sent for Russell again—
Aud owned him " salvation and glory."
Hurrah ! There's some hope for John Bull
Now the Quack is consigned to perdition,
That again he'll wax jocund and full,
And be rosy and plump of condition ;
For the Quack is in Tophet—and " John"
Is on diet, now, choice and nutritious,
And Russell will make all his days
Thrice-salubrious, sweet, and delicious.
London, England, 1841-08-07

not be ministerially trifled with. Such a rebuff as Sir
Robert met in 1839, will not be forgotten, on either
side. fur years to come. The Duke of Wellington says,
that Peel has no manners for Court. Manners he must
find and wear, suited to the Queen's taste, before he can
sit easily as her Minister."
The Dublin Eneiling Post observes that " Sir RO-
bert Peel may talk moderation, and possibly may be dis-
posed to practice it, but as well might he essay the tam-
ing of a herd of tigers or hyenas as to attempt the im-
possible task of reducing the Ultras, who form the bone
and sinew of the faction which he leads, into habits of
quietness and forbearance. -No—that faction pant for the
restoration of Toryism as much for the means of exer-
cising unbridled power, as for the pelf and patronage
belonging to office."

" The real qualities of the quack doctor," says the
Coventry Herald, "are completely betrayed by his late
words ; but the most engaging part of the whole is the
mysterious silence of the man of specifics, about the medi-
cine and treatment suitable to the case ; while he never-
theless points to the box of physic which he has carried
at his back 'ever since 1835, and hints that the cure and
cordial are both surely there."

BANKERS.
IN PARLIAMENT.—In comparing
the present with the last Parliament, it will be found
that the Bank of England has lost one member—Mr.
Patison. The London bankers have lost two members
—Mr. Grote and Mr. W. Attwood. The country
bankers have lost two members—Mr. Hector and Mr.
Bickford. The National Provincial Bank has lost two
members—Mr. Courtenay and LA rd Hallyburton. The
LondoA Joint Stock Banks have lost three members—
Mr. Muskett, Mr. Wyse, and Mr. Jervis. On the other
hand the London Bankers have gained one—Mr. Mas-
terman ; and the London Joint Stock Banks have gained
two—Mr. P. M. Stewart and Mr. Rennie. The Irish
and Colonial Joint Stock Banks remain the same. Thus
it will appear that the Bank of England and the private
bankers have, upon the balance, lost four members, while
the Joint-Stock Banks have, upon the balance, also lost
four.

Fox HUNTlNG.—Arrangements are now in
progress for the Fife hounds hunting the Linlithgow and
Stirlingshire country, and not for twenty years has
there been the same stock of game to begin work upon.

zurmouns OP THE DAY.

The Duke of Buckingham is not to have a seat in the
Peel or Shuffling Cabinet, and the consequence is that
the Right Hon. Premier expectant will find a consider-
able difficulty, notwithstanding the lists handed round by
his friends, of forming a presentable Ministry.

Since the Post announced that the Tories are to
have a Whig Speaker, and particularly since the Times
announced yesterday that there must be a fixed
duty on corn, and which is supposed to speak on that
point the sense of Sir G. Murray, and all the commer-
cial supporters of Sir Robert Peel, and to shadow forth
the Peel policy on corn,--- there has been quite
a commotion in the Carlton Club. The Ultras,
headed, we belieVe, by Lord Lowther or Sir Richard
Vyvyan, are resolved not to submit. At any rate, 'they
are caballing, and mean, it is said, as they have not much
confidence in Sir R. Peel, tu propose Sir Eardley Wilmot,
in opposition to his recommend ition, as Speaker. They
say that the conduct of Sir Robert in 1829 con-
vinces them that they musk not trust him, and to
make him useful they must begin by convincing him
that he is dependent on them.
The Tories say that Sir Robert Peel was dis-
creet at Tamworth, and refused to state his policy ;
but in his letter to Mr. Shaw Lefevre he as-
sumes that he is already Prime Minister, and an-
nounces that he means to favour the Whigs. They in-
fer, therefore, that the policy which he conceals is in-
tended to throw more of his friends overboard.

Sir Richard Vyvyau, whOm the Standard formerly
designated as Foreign Secretary, in case of a
change in the Ministry, is not • to have any
post under the Peel Administration. Sir Robert
looks on him, not only with suspicion, but
with distrust. He is too straight-forward and un-
compromising a person for the slippery Baronet, who
sees with much repugnance that Sir Richard has a
seat in Parliament. The two Baronets are in some sort
rivals, and Sir Richard Vivyan is already spoken of as
the leader of the honest and uncompromising Tories.
—• Bets are offered in the sporting circles that Sir R.
Peel, as the head of a Tory Administration, will not be
six months in office.

The Salopian Journal states that a rumour is cur-
rent that Sir It. Bulkeley will shortly be promoted to
the peerage, and that Mr. Stanley will, in consequence,
be elected for the Flintshire boroughs.
