LONDON:
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 19, 1840.

The public would have been most happy to
learn from the Standard " that it is known that
nothing can shake the loyalty of the Irish Pro-
testants, a characteristic which we rejoice to think
they will ever maintain," had it not been that the
same voucher for their loyalty openly advises them
to set the present authorities at defiance. The
loyal Standard says—
" Let our Irish fellow-subjects legally organise them-
selves as that distinct party which the finishing stroke
of conciliatory policy has made them for ever. Let the
members of the old Corporations preserve their forms,
according to the charter of more than thirty Kings ;
meet on their usual festive anniversaries, admit so
many Protestants as they think worthy to the honour
of being associated with them ; and though
stripped of all political power, avowedly because
of their fidelity to the principles to guard which
power was conferred upon them,—let them perpetuate
the memory of this glorious fault, and of its ' honour-
giving' penalty, by all means that are not unlawful.
Let the old Corporations be preserved, as far as forms
go, in integro—preserved as monuments of constant
, loyalty on one side, and of the little faith to he placed
in office-seeking statesmen and politicians on the other.
Let :hose institutions be reverently cherished though
no more than a shadow of them remain, but with the
odious things substituted for them let Protestants have
nothing to do. They were engendered between the
O'Connell Ministers and the Conservative aristocracy
and their parasites ; upon these let the hideous progeny
be afliliated—let the parents take care of their own
offspring—Protestants owe nothing to them."

So the Protestants are to bc loyal,.,according to
the Standard, to the thirty dead Kings, and they
are disloyally to refuse obedience to the thirty-first
Sovereign, being her Majesty Queen tICTORIA.
The laws of the present Parliament are to be set at
naught, and the laws of the Parliaments of the
time of JAMES I. and WILLIAM 111. arc to be
obeyed. Altogether that is a good representation
of the principles of the Conservatives ; they are
the loyal and dutiful subjects of dead Kings, and
rebels to living authorities. They cloak their re-
bellion under some fine names, and pretend to
defend the principles of Protestantism, while they
set at defiance the authority of the Protestant So-
vereign. The Protestants of Ireland must prove
by their conduct that they repudiate the advice of
the Standard, or they will stand convicted of
honoui ing her MAJESTY'S predecessors more than
they honour her.

The distress of which we receive continual ac-
counts from different parts of England, we do not
ascribe to the Ministry. They will pardon us for
saying that they could not relieve it if they would.
If Lord MELBOURNE were as well disposed as
Lord CLARENDON to repeal the Corn-laws, the
Ministry could not accomplish it till a more deci-
sive demonstration were made by the people. In
fact, however, the lukewarmness of the metropolis
on this great question, the opposition to the repeal
given by the Chartists, and the steady support
which the Corn-laws have received in the anricul-
-1 ,
1
turai districts, render it
to repeal the Corn-laws, and so to relieve the dis-
tress of the people.
1
However much the English may be flattered to
the contrary, they are on this and some other points
essentially unjust. They keep on the Corn-laws.
Public opinion has acquiesced in this scoundrel
enactment for more than twenty years, and the
public voice yet objects to its removal. To get rid
of it we must enlighten the public. A pressure
from without must be brought to bear, not only on
their Representatives, and on the Peers, who
maintain these laws, but on the constituencies 1
which support them, before they can be repealed.

The public are to blame, therefore, for the conti-
nuance of these laws ; and till the public become
enlightened and just, we can scarcely hope for
their repeal. Every evidence of existing distress
should influence the judgment of the public. If
the Corn-laws answered the purpose and end pro-
posed by them, there ought to be no distress in the
country, no low wages, no want of work, for against
all these the Corn-laws were to provide. The great
want of work, the very low wages, and the great distress
which exists, are all proofs that the Corn-laws have
not answered their object. We have quoted in-
stances of distress during the last two days, and to
these we now beg to add what the Leeds Times
says :

The depressed circumstances of our labouring popu-
lation—forming so large a proportion of the consul:lin::
public—render it impossible that our home trade will
experience that speedy and lasting revival which is so
much required ; and the continuance of our restrictions
upon our intercourse with foreign countries, tenders
still more improbable the prospect of a permanent re-
vival of our foreign trade and commerce.
An intelligent Correspondent,
in a northern commer-
cial town, thus writes :

.‘ What the cause of all this distress—not yet ended,
I fear—may be, no one can tell. Our Scottish stocks
are droopirg fast, and are likely to get still lower ; and
as to trade, there is nothing to warrant an expectation
of improvement. Some people even go to the length
of maintainiKr that trade is leaving the country never
to return. This, hors ever, I cannot believe. One
thing is indeed certain—that if trade do not improve in
the course of autumn and winter, we must have many
more failures among the manufacturers, the consequence
of which would be, that trade would get into fewer
hands, and then probably get round again."
We were in hopes that the fine weather, which
had, as our Contemporary states, given confidence to
trade, would have at once made its influence felt on
prices. But no fall has occurred. Now the weather
has changed, not for the better, and our hopes and
expectations are at an end. Good judges say that
whatever may be the harvest weather, the crop will
be short, and that, if it be bad, the distress will be
extreme. We were willing to hope that it would
not be so, but the price in the markets unfortunately
confirms the announcement of those who are en-
titled to credit. High prices and great distress
will therefore most likely prevail during the winter,
and the suffering people. will have to curse the
Legislature, or curse the agricultural interest, as the
cause of their sufferings.
`We should urge this with less vehemence if the
Legislature interfered less with the people ; but
when it regulates the supply of their food, it should
also interfere to regulate the quantity of employment
and the amount of wages. Its interference with
one part of the production and distribution of
wealth makes it responsible that every part of it
should be adjusted ; and distress, from such a cause
as want of food or employment, should not exist.
It is because the Legislature has interfered in one
direction, that its interference in another is now
indispensible. Whether it can look on tile task
which awaits it with complacency, whether it really
imagines that it can regulate and control every part
of society better than it is controlled by the laws of
competition and free trade, we cannot say; but we can
say that undertaking such a task leaves very little dif-
ference between it and Mr. OWEN, who denies the
propriety of trusting to the principle of competition,
and only proposes for his parallelograms what
our Legislators actually undertake to carry into
effect. Like him, they distrust the principle of
competition, and will substitute for it their own
schemes and devices.

We recommend to the careful perusal of the ad-
vocates of Church-rates, the report of the pro-
ceedings at Rochdale, since the close of the poll at
that place. A public meeting, attended by up-
wards of 4,000 persons, was held on Thursday
last, for the purpose of concerting measures to- pro-
' tect the inhabitants against the fraud attempted to
be practised upon them by the .6 friends of the
Church," as the exactors of the conscience-tax
ludicrously enough denominate themselves. At
this meeting speeches were delivered, and resolu-
tions passed, breathing a spirit of the inoq deter-
mined defiance to Church-rates both in principle
and practice. The conduct of the Vicar—Dr.
HoLEswoRTH, of Canterbury notoriety—is held
up to the well-deserved reprobation of the public,
as contrary to common justice, and insulting to the
parishioners ; the system of iniquity acted upon,
during the late contest, by the partisans of that
Reverend and loyal personage, is denounced in ap-
propriate terms of severity ; and the meeting so-
lemnly pledges itself to use all legal means to pre-
vent the levying of the "unholy and infamous tax,"
and to defend those who may be prosecuted for not

paying it.

This is exactly what we expected would take
place. It was not to be imagined that six or seven
thousand persons, after struggling against the im-
position of the rate, with all the zeal and self-devo-
tion which distinguish those who rally round a prin-
ciple from the hirelings of a party, should quietly
sit down and acquiesce in the decisicn of a tyrant
majority, even if that majority had been obtained
by honest and fair means. Much less could they
be supposed to follow this submissive and pusilla-
nimous course under the actual circumstances of
this case, stained as it is so deeply with injustice,
violence, fraud, and corruption on the part of their
opponents. No ; the natural result of the contest,
carried on as it has been, is to arm the anti-Church-
rate party with tenfold enmity, both against the
iniquitous tax itself, and against the Church which
resorts to means so iniquitous to fix it upon them.

There had been no Church -rate heard of in
Rochdale for five years. With the Reverend dis-
ciple of Canterbury BRADSHAW, came a new era.
This clerical firebrand has re-kindled a flame in his
parish which will not soon be quenched, and which
we hope to see extend to many other parishes. It
must have been a spectacle ne less grateful to the
feelings of this godly man, than edifying to the
community, to witneEs—as was witnessed on Sun-
day last, in Rochdale—a clergyman of the Church
of England, guarded by policemen, passing through
the streets amidst the hootings and execrations of
his parishioners. With such a sight before his
eyes, it was no wonder that one of this unhappy
man's own friends exclaimed,
" Whoever wing,the
Church will lose !"

.4.
We always rejoice when an act of oppression or
gross outrage falls on the shoulders of some person
of note, a Member of Parliament, or a Church-
warden, or a Vestryman, for instance, becauie such
an occurrence attracts the notice of the Legislature
as well as the public, and
generally leads to a re-
medy of the evil. We are therefore, glad to see,
from the Marylebone Police Report, that Mc.
KENSETT, one of the Board of Guardians andVes-
affair between the police constable
trymen of that parish, has had a little personal
experience of the treatment to which many of the
lower classes are oblicied to submit without redress.
Had it been an
and a hodman, the latter would probably have had
a cold bribing,, o,
in a cell for the night, and next
morning would have received a lecture from
die Magistrate for interfering with officers on
In this case Mr.
duty. KENSETT appealed
to the Inspector, who no doubt knew him.
He was instantly set at liberty, and the
constable who committed the assault was fined 51.,
et. in default of payment committed for a month.
The particulars of the case will be found in another
part of the paper. This,
we regret to say, "is by
no means a rare instance of the brutal and tyran-
nical conduct of police constables. It is of fre-
quent occurrence ; and however blameable their
conduct in the street, respectable persons are de-
terred from interfering, from the conviction that
their humanity would be rewarded with a night's
imprisonment. With such extravagant powers
given to the police, no man is• safe. We sincerely
hope, therefore, that this affair of Mr. KENSETT
will lead to a change of the system, and that in all

cases in which an insult to the official dignity of
these gentlemen, the police constables, is the
question at issue, no charge will be sustained
without evidence also from other witnesses. It is
certainly a monstrous anomaly that a parish-officer
for doing his ditty, should be dragged along the
streets like a felon by two servants paid by the
parish, for the maintenance of order and the pro-
tection of the innocent.

There is no news of the slightest interest in the
German Papers just received, save that the failure.
of the crops in Southern Russia had led to agra-
rian outrages, and the burning of five hundred vii
lanes by the starving serfs. In New Russia the
periodical failure z,f crops, and the difficulty of pro-
curing corn by land carriage from Hungary and Po-
land has from time to time, since the founding of
Odessa, produced great misery among th serf
population. One year corn is so abundant
as to be really valueless ; the next a
bliElit falls upon it, or it is burned up by scorching
winds, and man a:id beast are doomed to all the
horrors of lingering starvation. Everything that
an absolute Government could do in the way of
providing granaries, and making provision against
the approach of such calamities, has been done ;
but the evil has been only partially mitigated.
The outrages committed by the starving peasantry
in the provinces of Orel, Tula, and several of the
central provinces of Russia, are thus related in a
letter from Frankfort, of the 15th instant :
" Tae country people, after exhausting their last re-
sources, carry away the valuable articles their cabins
contain, and then set them on fire, and proceed with their
families to the nearest,village. There they remain until
the country affords them no longer any means of existence,
when they burn the village and emigrate to another
district. The entire rural population of those govern-
ments is thus in movement, and it is calculated that
about 500 villages have already become a prey to
the flumes. The landlords have every-were aban-
doned their estates, and notified to the Govern-
ment their inability to pay the capitation tax. Some of
them arc reduced to such a state of destitution that a sub•
scription has been opened at Moscow on behalf of the
suffering nobles of the devastated districts. The Emperor
Nicholas has sent his Minister of the Interior to Tula, in
order to devise means of quelling this novel species of in-
surrection, and placed a quantity of g:ain for seed at his
disposition."

The following paragraphs include all the mis
ccllancous news in the German papers, which we
may here observe entertain no fears of a war be-
tween the Four Poweis and France. On the con-
trary, they treat the grave discussions of the British
Press upon this subject with unmitigated ridicule :

HANOVER, AUG. 10.—We learn on good authority, that
the celebrated oculist, Jaeger, of Vienna, will shortly
come to Hanover, to perform the operation on his Royal
Highness the Crown Prince.

His Majesty, the King, is going to-day to the Gohrde.
BERLIN, Ace. 6.—Privy Counsellor Eichhorn has now
finaliy accepted the post of Minister of Ecclesiastical
affairs, the conditions which he proposed having been ap-
proved and granted by his Majesty.
The place which Mr. Eichhorn held in the Foreign
Department will, it is conjectured, be given to the emi-
nent Privy Councillor of Finance, Dr. Erchmann ; and
Baron Bulow, our Ambassador at London, holds a high
office in the Foreign Department, which may, in the
sequel, entitl^ him to a place in the Ministry.
BERLIN, Ace. 11.—The King and Queen are gone to-
day to Dresden, where they will stop a few days, and then
go to Fischbach, which is hardly spacious enough to afford
accommodation to all the distinguished persons expected
there. Their Majesties are expected to return to Berlin
on the 29th.

Should Baron Von Billow take the place lately filled by
M. Eichhorn in the Foreign Department, Count Maltzan,
now Ambassador at Vienna. is expected to take his place
in London, and M. Von Brockhausen, now at Stockholm,
to go to Vienna. —Harnburgh Papers, Aug. 14.

-France is resolved to alarm Russia. The
nister of the Interior, according to the Constitu-
lionnel of Monday, has granted permission to all
the Polish refugees sent out of France in 1838 to
return, and fix their residence in the capital. Pass-
ports for Paris have been forwarded to all the Poles
of distinction in the Islands of Guernsey and
Jersey, and, we believe, to a few who sought a re-
fuge in Great Britain. For those in pecuniary
distress a suitable provision in pensions, accord-
ing to their rank, has been made, so that Paris will
soon be the head-quarters of the Revolutionary
Propagandists. Austria, always easily frightened by
the bug-bear of revolutionary principles, has already
taken measures for rendering any political communi-
cation between the Italian refugees in France and
the inhabitants of her Lombardo. Venetian terri-
tory more difficult. The French Government is
not likely to allay her terrors. We learn from a
,private source that a simultaneous revolutionary
movement in Italy and Poland is one of the en
gines which M. THIERS is resolved, in the event
of a war, to bring to bear upon the Governments
of Austria and Russia. This would certa3nly be
very embarrassing, inasmuch as England could not
move a finger in support of Imperial domination in
these countries. No alliance with Russia could
prevent England from witnessing with joy the re-
suscitation of unhappy Poland ; and whatever
might be the primary motive of France, no British
Minister would dare to oppose her in the accom-
plishment of a work so glorious as the re-instating
Poland in the rank of an independent kingdom.
The preparations are going on with unabated
vigour in every part of France. In less than a
year France will have 28 ships of the line, 30 fri-
gates, 12 corvettes, 40 brigs, and 150 other ves-
sels, all afloat, fully manned and equipped for war.
The French are so proud of their fleet, that we
have a fresh enumeration of its strength in one or
other of the Journals every day. Comparisons, so
odious in most things, are here glorious. The
National has only to quote in parallel columns an
article from the Constitutionnel, setting forth the
naval prowess of France, and a leader from the
limes, deploring the wretched condition of the old
hulks that constitute all , that remains of the
" wooden walls of old England," to raise a hubbub
for war among all the shirtless adventurers in Paris.
This is the only instance in which the excessive
modesty of the Tines has proved injurious.
We have received the following letter, dated Toulon,
August 12:—

General Corben has returned to France. He arrived
yesterday on board the Phare

" Great exertions arc making to complete the battalions
of the Regiments which are selected to make part of the
great expedition which is preparing in the province of
Oran. There arrived here yesterday 130 tirailleurs of
Vincennes, and 430 men who are intended for the Zouaves.
The preparations for the expedition will be prosecuted
with vigour on the arrival of General Larnoriciere at
Oran. _ _ _

47 lieutenant-Colorwl Cavaignal arrived at Algiers on
the sth, and on the Bth took the command of the regi-
ment of Zouaves, at the head of which he will prove a
worthy successor to the brave Lamoriciere. This regi-
me is to embark for Oran, to take part in the expedition."
ALGIERS,nt AuG. B.—We have received interesting news
from Oran up to August 3. The Dragon brig, which
had been sent to Tangiers had returned. It touched sue-
ccsaively at Tangiers, Ceuta, and Gibr'altar. The news
which it brings is interesting. Our Consul at Tangiers
had no apprehension, and had no reason to complain of
the conduct of the Emperor towards him. Abdherraman
desires to remain at peace with France, but he asks our
support in eisa his subjects, who are naturally inclined to
ku.sist Abrl-d-Kader, should not listen to his orders. In
the first instance he has not been able to prevent them
from praying in the Mosques for the success of the holy
cause proclaimed by the Marabouts in the name of
Abd-el-Kader.
At Ceuta the Dragon was likewise well received. It
obtaimed certain intlirmation that there was an agent of
Abd-el-KAer at Gibraltar, commissioned to purchase
arms cf the merchants. During the last war quantities
of twaraunitieti were sent from that place to Abd.el-
Kader —Cimstitlitionntl.

INSOLVENT DILBTORti' UOUT.
(THIS DAY.)

IN THE MATTER OF WESTROPP.
The insolvent in this case applied on his petition to
be discharged.

He was opposed by Mr. COOKE on the part of several
creditors, who complained of fraudulent alienation of pro-
perty. The insolvent had in 1836 purchased a house and
business for the sum of 8001., and contracted several debts
up to last October; at which time by deed of asf.ignment
he conveyed his interest in the business and premises to
his son, a young man about twenty-one years of age,
who assisted him as shoprnsu. Some three or four of
the creditors bad signed a document to the effect that
they would be satisfied with an immediate payment of ss.
in the pound, and a subsequent one of 2s. at the end of
three weeks.

Evidence having been adduced,
• Mr. Commissioner REYNOLDS said that he considered
the assignment between the insolvent and his son to be a
decided attempt at fraud. As for the document alluded to
by the Learned Counsel, it was void, inasmuch as it was
executed by only is fra2tion of the creditors, beside there
was no proof of the subsequent instalment ever having
been paid. He should, therefore, order the condit;onal
thsch,tri;ze of the insolvent—that he be released from cus.
tody when the property was given up for the benefit of the
creditors; and it was his (the Commissioner's) determina.
lion to remand the insolvent from time to time, until these
terms had been complied with.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
(Tins DAY.)

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Baron GURNEY.)
RAPE —John Tooley, a labourer, 40 years of age, was
indicted for a rapt: on Maria Boddy, on• the sth of the
present month, at Illingford. The facts of the case are
unfit for publication.

Mr. Jones conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Phillips
appeared for the prisoner.
Mr, Baron GURNEY summed up, and
The Jury found the prisoner guilty of an assault only.
Mr. Baron GURNEY sentenced him to twelve months
imprisonment and hard labour.

VIOLENT ASSAULT.-Jame ; Brennan, aged 39, an Irish
labourer, was indicted with feloniously wounding Peter
Anthony Cullen, a comedian, with intent to do him some
some grievous bodily harm.
Mr. Jones conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Phillips
defended the prisoner.
Peter Anthony Cullen said he was a comedian. On the
evening of Sunday, the 2d of August, he was in the Coach
and Horses, Lambeth. The prisoner was there also. The
company were talking about Ireland, and, on a reference
being made to him, he said he liked the boys (meaning
the Irish) very well, but he did not like their bogs. Upon
which the prisoner said he was " a d—d impostor ;" to
which witness replied that he was a dirty carpenter. This
was between eleven and twelve o'clock. Liquor was then
called for, which the landlord refused to serve, and witness
went away. He was immediately followed by the pri-
soner, struck violently on the head with an iron poker, and
deprived him of his senses. The blow cut his head dread-
fully, and he had.been under a surgeon's hand ever since.
The landlord of the Coach and Horses, and several other
witnesses, corroborated the prosecator's evidence as to the
assault, and

Mr. Thompson, a surgeon, of Lambeth-walk, stated that
the wound had been of a most dangerous nature, that in-
flammation had supervened, and that Mr. Cullen's life was
in danger for upwards of a week, and lie had no doubt if
the prosecutor had not had a hat on, the wound would
have caused instant death.

Mr. PHILLIPS addressed the Jury for the prisoner.
Mr. Baron GURNEY summed up.
The Jury convicted the prisoner, and the Court sen•
tenced him to twelve years' transportation, obsr.rving tha
these acts of violence, which were now becoming- so fre.
quent, could only be put a stop to by severe punishment.

NEW COURT.
(Before the COMMON SERGEANT.)
John Horton and John Smith, convicted of stealing
12s. Id. of Thomas Young, from his person, were each
sentenced to one year's imprisonment and hard labour.
Thomas Baher was indicted for stealing a handkerchief
from a person unknown.
City police constable Greenland, No. 282, was on duty
on Holborn-hill, on the 21st of July, in the evening. He
saw the prisoner take a handkerchief from the pocket of a
gentleman, and immediately seized him. A crowd col-
lected, and he was unable to apprize the gentleman of his
less. On searching the prisoner, the handkerchief was
found upon him. The prisoner offered no defence. The
jury found him guilty, and he was sentenced to six months'
imprisonment with hard labour.

William Charrington, convicted of stealing IS pair of
stays, the property of Robert Gay, was sentenced to seven
years' transportation. The prisoner had previously been
convicted of felony.

her furnished lodgings, was sentenced to nine months' im-
prisonment and hard labour.
Edward Hill, aged 16, and William Belcher, aged 14,

good character, bnt Belcher was well known, and had
been in trouble before. Hill was sentenced to one
month's imprisonment and bard labour..
When Belches- was called by the Clerk of the Arraigns,
he commenced bellowing most lustily for mercy, and pro-
mising to be a model of good conduct if he were not
transported or sent to a ship.
The COMMON-SERGEANT—WeII, we will give you one
more chance, although it was ycu who brought 11;11 into
the scrape. The sentence of the Court upon you is that
you he imprisoned for three months in the House of Cor.
rcction, and before your discharge that you be well whipped.
Belcher (in a moat melancholy tone)—Thank you, Sir.
---(Laughter, in which the Common-Sergeant joined.)
The prisoners were then removed.

lynch, a young woman of respectable appearance, but
.who has been sent from this office to the House of Cor-
rection at least twenty times for being engaged in street
broils, was again brought up in custody, although she was
only diFeharged on Monday last from the New Westmin-
ster Bridewell, where she had been committed for a month,
and placed at the bar before Mr. Long, the presiding
Magistrate, charged with having been found, at two
o'clock thi.; Morning, in Oxford street, drunk, and behav-
ing in such a disorderly manner as to disturb the inha-
bitants, and cause many of them to rise from their beds in
a state of great alarm.
Mr. LONG—You are quite incorrigible. I shall send
you to Bridewell for one month.

Defendant—Then I won't go for nothing; there._ take
that, you old —; and before the gaoler could prevent
her, she flung with amazing force a handful of perm)
pieces at Mr. Long. Only two or three of them struck
slightly his worship's person, but the rest completely rid.
died the windows at his back.
She was removed with great difficulty to the lock -up
cells.
