precisely the same end. His 60s. will only pro-
cure him a portion of the corn they would bring
if there were no Corn-law. The law then enacts
a false measure for the sale of corn, which is as
much greater an abomination than the nailing a
penny-piece beneath a scale, as the whole body
of consumers exceed the customers of any single
grocer's shop.
Such being the nature of the Corn-law—now,
we are happy.to say, generally acknowledged—it
follows as a necessary consequence, that all reli-
gious, and all moral men, are bound to demand
its abolition, and lend their aid to abolish it.
They are, we are equally happy to say, now ge-
nerally acting on this view, and their exertions
will give a turn to the public sentiments, and to
many election contests, which will, we trust, as-
tonish the advocates of selling by false weights
and measures. Whatever may be the imnaPdiate
result, though of that we entertain sanguine
hopes, there can be no doubt that the day is not
distant when venality will be extinguished
amongst electors, and honesty be as much ho-
noured in law-making as in private dealings,

In the last Number of the WestlAinster Re-
view, now on the eve of publicatier,, there is an
article entitled the " which dis-
cusses some of the leading por,itical questions of
the day, in a succinct, searr:„;ng, matter-of-fact
spirit, which cannot fail_ to carry conviction to
the minds of a large 'class of readers. Among
other subjects, th' Reviewer glances at the
Penny Postage t'zheme, which he proves, by a
variety of stat;
they the _,tic documents, to have been a
decidedly successful experiment; but, notwith-
standing this fact, he expresses his belief that
sh
Tories come into power, the very first
h
would do, would be " to return to
t
ia.he old rates of postage." We think- it by no
means unlikely they would do so, for there is no
act of folly so suicidal, but these men are ca-
pable of committing it. The experience that
makes even fools wise, passes over their heads in
vain. They are still, what they ever were, and.will
ever continue to be, so long as they constitute a
party, determined foes to all the best and dear-
est interests of the people. We are far from re-
gretting this—on the contrary, we rejoice at it,
for it is our great safeguard against them.
Were Tory shrewdness equal to Tory tenacity of
purpose, we should then, indeed, have cause to
dread the faction as we would dread a pesti-
lence ; but headArong, presumptuous, and in-
consistent as it now shows itself, to a greater de-
gree than ever, we feel morally persuaded that,
for all its noise and bluster, it can never, for any
length of time, make - successful inroads on our
rights. Were the Tories to come into power to-
morrow, they would be out again before
their first quarter's salary became due, so
thoroughly anti-national are they in their
prejudices, and such desperate blunderers in
the mode of giving effect to those prejudices.
We do not forget their besotted resistance to the
motion for enfranchising Manchester and Bir-
mingham, and which led immediately to the Re-
form Bill; their personal insult to the QUEEN
respecting the Bed-chamber appointments
which consigned them over again to the Opposi-
tion bench; or their curtailment of Prince AL-
BERT'S income, which was in flat, bare-faced con-
tradiction to the principles that influenced them
when they granted the QUEEN DOWAGER the
enormous sum of one hundred thousand pounds
per annum! These, and many other Tory freaks
of the like sort, are not forgotten, and have long
since satisfied all rational men of the utter impos-
sibility of the country being ever steadily or
equitably governed upon the principles of Tory-
ism. That the present Ministers have their faults
we are far from intending to deny; they have been
timid when they should have been resolute,and dis-
trustful of the people when they should have
had full confidence in them still, we agree with
the Westminster Reviewer, that, at the present
crisis, we should lose sight of their faults, and
" see in them only the opponents of Monopoly."
They are now engaged in fighting the battle of
the oppressed Many against the encroaching
Few ; they have placed themselves in the van
of the great popular movement against grinding
despotism ; and deserve the cordial support of
every man who aspires to the character of a go,od
citizen.

We received the Dutch Mail last night, with
Papers from Amsterdam and the Hague. Thex
contain no news of importance. The KING, ac-
cording to the accounts in the Papers, was
making a tour through the province of Limburg,
and was received in every place with the greatest
enthusiasm.

The Duke of LEEDS arrived at Amsterdam on
the ‘2lst.

The Sheik-ul-Islam, or chief priest of the Mussul-
mans at Constantinople, alarmed at the progress of in-
novations which at last extended to the uncovering of
the lips and noses of the Turkish fair sex in their pere-
grinations through that city, to the great scandal of the
faithful followers of the Prophet, has, like a true son of
the " church in danger," hurled his spiritual thunders
against the heads of the imitators of those " daughters
of burned mothers," who expose their olfactory organs
to the admiring gaze of strangers and infidels. Though
the :sty-lo of the sacerdotal: firman for recalling Turkish
ladies to a sense of their duty is not exactly suited
to the fashionable pages of the Court Journal,
we have little doubt that the fair subscribers to
Almacks' will be exceedingly anxious to learn what ob-
jections a Moslem could have to a lady's showing her
nose. We must 'gratify a curiosity so natural. The
first firman is to the following effect :-
6, Whereas, it has come to the knowledge of those whose duty
it is to watch over the morals of the faithful and to see that
none shall presume to transgress prescribed rules, that certain
women of unblushing boldness and frivolous demeanour have,
in imitation of those daughters of burned mothers, the she
Kiaffirs of Pera, permitted their noses, and even their lips, to
be exposed to the wanton gaze of passengers—it is enjoined,
in the name of the most Merciful, the recompenser of all virtue,
that the wives and daughters of the faithful shall cautiously ab-
stain from all such indecencies, and that they shall carefully
wrap their yachmeks ( veils) round their faces, in such a man-
ner as to conceal their lips and noses, and only leave a sufficient
aperture for the purpose of seeing that they do not defile them-
selves by coming in contact with any male infidels. Let them
attend to this, or it will be the worse for them."
We can now comprehend how it was that the Moslem
faith could only be propagated by the sword. What
mother or daughter, sister or wife, maid or widow, would
ever think of voluntarily adoptini, a religion in which
she could not show her nose ? And what other proof is
required of the slavery of the Turkish women than that
they are constrained to cover their noses ? Shades of

Tht whole of the Paris papers of Wednesday have
be",-At received. The .Presse has a long article suggested
10y the. ealousy of English influence in Spain, and the
dread of having to compete with our manufactures in the
markets of the Peninsula, so common among all classes
in France. As we give no credit to the facts which it
alduces, we shall take no further notice of it. A report
was in circulation that the Finance Minister, instead of
wanting to borrow eighteen millions sterling, finds that
he can do for the present with half that sum. This re-
port had no effect in improving the funds.
The Debuts has an article on the high price of
butcher's meat in France, with some remarks made upon
it by Galignani's Messenger of Wednesday.
There is no political news of any interest in the Paris
papers of Wednesday.
BRUTAL Multi-MR.—At the last Court of Assizes at Salutes,
a disgusting case of infanticide was tried. The criminal was a
man who had destroyed his illegitimate child, by a poor idiot
girl of that place. He had thrown the infant on the ground
as soon as born, and had stamped on its head, producing instant
death. His character had been for many sears of the worst
description, and he had long treated his wife and children with
the utmost brutality. The verdict of the Jury was guilty, and
he was condemned to death.

Lord Alvanley has arrived in Paris, at the Hotel des Princes,
from the East. . .

Messrs. de Tocqueville and G. de Beaumont have arrived
in Paris from Africa, where their stay was somewhat shorter
than they intended. They visited the provinces of Algiers and
Oran, and were proceeding to traverse that of Constantine.,
when M. de Tocqueville was attacked with an endemic fever
between Constantina and Philippeville. This induced him
and his fellow traveller to come home at once.
Advices from Bogota of the sth of March have been re-
ceived ; they show the republic of New Grenada to be still
in a state of the most deplorable anarchy. Some of the
leaders of the opposition party had been lately put in prison,
when a party of insurgent troops had shown themsclves -
before the gates of the city, but the authorities, when things
became more calm, had ordered them to be released. The
populace rose in tumult on the news of this decision becoming
spread, and attacked the houses of the authorities, trying at the
same time to get hold of the prisoners, upon whom they would
have vented their fury. They were able, however, only to se:ze
une prisoner, who was much maltreated by them, but who was
ultimately rescued by a party of national guards. Night put an
end to the distu-bances, but the Authorities had the weakness
to order the prisoners, who had been set at liderty, to he again
arrested. Some of these unfortunate individuals had taken re-
fuge in the houses of the French and English Ministers, who
courageously refused to give them up. By the sth the calit al
had become tranquil again.— Galignani.
A serious riot took place, some nights ago, in the theatre of
Toulouse. A new actress made her debut in the opera of
Guillaume Tell, but her endeavours to please were met, by
a part of the audience, with marks of disapprobation. Her
supporters resented this, and a violent conflict ensued. To
suppress this disturbance, the Commissary of Police not only
employed his own officers, but, without demanding permission,
called in some of the foot chasseurs stationed there. This ex-
cited the intlicnation of the public, and a resistance was made
which might have led to the most serious consequences, had
nut the commanding officer of the chasseurs, hearing of what
was going on, entered the house, and having called out his men,
reproved the Commissary for thus bringing them forward
against the people without his authority. The Mayor of Tou-
louse also presented himself, and by his conciliatory address,
restored order, and induced the audience to retire without fur-
ther opposition.
A letter from Vienna states as positive that the amount of
the tribute to be paid by the Pacha of Egypt to the Sultan has
been fisted, by the new hatti scheriff, at only 40,000 purses
(2,500,000 fr.), and not 80,000 purses, as had been stated by
the Augsburg, Gazette.
A letter from Neu-Strelitz says :—" At the marriage of the
Crown Prince of Denmark with the daughter of our Grand
Duke, the bridegroom was led to the altar by the King of
Prussia and the reigning Duke of Mecklenburgh-Schwerin ;
the bride was led thither by her mother and the Grand
Duchess of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. On the return of the
newly-married couple and their illustrious friends to the palace,
there was a grand reception, and afterwards a supper for 300
persons. The King and Prince Royal of Prussia left yester-
day for their own States.
DIED.—In Paris, on the 21st instant, in the 79th year of his
age, the Rev. Thomas Gilbert, of Cotton Hall in the county
of Stafford.

The following appears in the Correo Nacional of the 15th
instant :—" A few days ago the Queen of Spain and her
august sister were taking an airing on the Caravanchel road.
The Queen, who had been bestowing her bounty upon all the
poor whom she had met, bad no more money, when a poor girl
came up to the carnage and implored charity. Her Majesty,
having taken out htr pulse and found it empty, hastily took off
her shoes alut threw them to the beggar. The Marchioness
of Saete...Cruz having asked her Majesty why she did this, she
replied, Do not scold me ; I had no more money in my purse,
and therefore gave my shoes, which I can very well spare,
whereas that poor girl is destitute of everything."
A letter from Toulon of the 18th has the following news :
" The Euphrates steamer has arrived from Algiers. It
brings the following intelligence, dated Algiers, June 14 :
" The army has again taken the field. The expedition,
about 10,000 strong, including the 10th Battalion of Sharp-
shooters, left Blidah on the 10th, escorting an immense convoy
destined to revictual the garrison of Medeah and Miliariah.
On the 11th the troops passed the Cot de Monzaia without
obstacle, and on the 12th left 250,000 rations at Medeah. On
the 13th the column preceded on its march to Milianah. All
these partinu'ars have been transmitted to us by the telegraph.
The weather is cool and favourable to the expedition.
" The most perfect tranquillity prevails in the plain. The
Sahel is protected by a considerable body of troops,
who have just been reinforced by the 3d Battalion of
Sharpshootei s landed from the Isere corvette. General De
Bar has just inspected the garrison of the town and forts, and
found them in good condition. The procession of Corpus
Christi has passed through the streets of Algiers amidst the
firing of cannon, and with the kcreatest pomp. This religious
ceremony makes a great impression on the natives."—La Ga-
zette de France.
We find the following statement in the Report of Captain
Soreau, of the Bisson, which has arrived in the Loire from the
Isle of Bourbon :
" On the 4th of June I found, to the north of the Atom.,
a broken bowsprit, covered with shells. This mast, on which
blocks (mopes) were still in the places, as well as a piece Of
chitin about six fathoms, for the gammonings (Hurt), ifilist
have belonged to a very large vessel, a iship of the line or a
frigate:_ Did they belong to the President?"—Le Commerce.
