THE SUN, LONDON', SATUR:DAY,-JULY 17, 1841.

then, the Tories, true to their hatred of all reform,
will resist the needed improvements of the day.
The objects may be changed, but the tactics and
principles of the Tories are unchanged; and .as
they, in opposition, denied the distress, and .itt•
sulted.the sufferings of .the people, in office they
will make or enforce laws to silence complaint,
and crush complainers.
It is not so long since the Tories were in office,
that this generation should have forgotten the
effects of their rule. Under their management
the South of England was a prey to sedition
and incendiarism. Mobs traversed the whole
country, and the blaze of nightly fires distv),,ed
every family's repose. The KING did got dare
to pay a promised visit to his metro-d'olis. Ire-
land was only kept in peace by an ;:nimense army.
England allowed France, aim
oi".i without a remon-
strance, Africa. Russia did as
to establish herself;
she pleased with Turkity, while England looked
on an almost pas:; -re spectator. The Govern-
ment, worsted a* home in contests with its own
subjects—to -whom it was an avowed enemy—
was powerless abroad. It had submitted to the
Catholics, whom the Tories had falsely stigma-
tised. as rebels and idolators ; it was weak and
despised. Society, in fact, seemed on the verge
of dissolution when the Tories gave up the helm
to abler steersmen. What occurred under their
former administration will occur again—they will
again act on the principle of opposing the needed
reform of the hour—organised Chartists, un-
known in 1830, and organised Repealers, then
little heard of, will most likely turn the next
sedition into a wide-spread scheme to overturn
the Government and dismember the empire.

Them is no political news of interest in the French
Journals of Thursday, and the papers of Friday, received
by Extraordinary Express, are for the most part occu-
pied with the riots at Toulouse, of which, the latest intel-
ligence will be found in another column. A telegraphic
despatch, from London, officially announces the re-entry
of France into ttie great European Alliance, but the cir-
cumstance, tlmugh condemned by the opposition jour-
nals, wad expected, and therefore excites no popular at-
me Moniteur states that the amount of indirect taxes
P.m the first half of the current year is 341,989,000 francs,
being an increase on the previous half year of 8,272,000
francs, and on the year as compared with 1839 of
28,241,000 francs.
The Levant mail is expected to reach Paris this day.
The dates are—from Constantinople and Alexandria of
the 27th, and from Smyrna of the 29th ult. It is too won
yet to expect any overland news from China of a nature
to gratify public curiosity.
Count Toreno and family are just arrived in Paris from
their tour in Italy, and alighted at the Hotel Bristol, Place
Vendome.
A letter from Athens, of the 27th ult., says—" M. Pis-
catory has left, on a journey into the interior. He will be
absent a month. It is said that the French squadron, com-
manded by Admiral Lasusse, which is expected here, has al-
ready been seen off Hydra. The Didon frigate, which' brought
M. Piseatory, is still at Salamis. The English ship of the line
Benbow is at anchor in the roadstead of Phalerum. '
The Gazette de France says :—" Ministers held a Coun-
cil, at one o'clock yesterday, at the hotel of Marshal Soult. In
consequence of the alarming accounts from Toulouse, Ville-
franche, Saint-Gaudens, and other towns in the Haute-Ga-
ronne, it has been resolved, it is said, to send an extraordinary
Government Commissioner into that district."
According to the Dutch Journals, the last accounts from
Batavia state that, after the disturbances had broken out in
February in the upper part of the territory of Padang, as was
previously mentioned, the insurgents made simultaneousattacks
upon three forts, one only of which was taken by them. On
the 26th February Colonel Michiels, commandant of the wes-
tern lint of Sumatra, marched with a considerable force to
the relief of the two forts which held out, and, after several
combats with the insurgents, succeeded by the 4th March in
subduing them, taking possession of their head-quarters, and
making their leader prisoner. All has remained quiet since.
This news has produced a favourable effect at Amsterdam,
causing the funds and other quotations on the Money Market
to rise.

The excavations in front of St. Germain l'Auxerrois
have led to the discovery of a wooden coffin, containing a
skeleton in good preservation, having irons round the ankles,
wrists, and neck.
" We learn from the Ain," says the Moniteur Parisien,
" that a few days ago, as a young man named Riviere, of the
commune of Villette, was on his way to a meadow, near the
Chateau de Riehemont, he saw two wolves, and having sent for
his double-barrelled fowling-piece, followedthem until he came
within gun-shot. He fired, and brought down a she wolf
which had just littered. On going up to her, with the inten-
tion of completing his work, if she was not dead, she flew upon
him, although severely wounded, with fury. The young man
kept her off with his gun, which she seized between her teeth,
and a terrible struggle ensued, in the course of which the gun
broke in two. He then took the stock, and with a blow on the
head put an end to the existence of the enraged animal."
The Journal du Havre says, that the Ville de Bordeaux,
the ship which the English papers have recently mentioned as
having carried off some British Custom-house officers from
Heldfast Bay, in Australia, is probably no other than a French
whaler, commanded by Captain Largeteau, whose long absence
and operations have already given rise to several sinister ru-
mours, and the condemnatien and sale of which, at Sydney,
was noticed in January last.

from the stones of our globe, in which metallic iron has never
been found, probably on account of the rapidity with which this
metal passes to a state of oxidation. The surface of the stone
is covered with a crust caused by the heat arising from the
great rate of its passage to the earth, and its contact with our
atmosphere."
—We find the following in the Cologne Gazette, from the
frontiers of Turkey, Ist inst. :—" Accounts from Jassy state
that a conspiracy has been discovered in Moldavia against
Prince Sturdza, the President of Justice, the head of the po-
lice and the Metropolitan. At the head of it were some fa-
milies of Bojards, the Bischkamy, and the Kusas. Several of
the accomplices having been arrested, a tumult ensued, which,
however, was promptly suppressed, and without violence. The
conspirators reproach the great dignitaries with the com-
mission of various illegal acts. We learn from Nissa in Bul-
garia that the merchants who were arrested there had been set
at liberty a little before the arrival of Yacub Pacha, hut the
greater number of persons brought in by the Albanians were
still in chains. Yacub Pacha, however, will soon release them."
The Dukes of Orleans and Nemours had a rand stag-
hunt on Tuesday in the forest of Fontainebleau. g
The game
was roused near the Carrefour du Grand Veneur, and after a
run of an hour and a half, at a very severe pace, crossed the
Seine opposite Fontaine Port. The Princes with the piqueurs
crossed the ferry with their horses and a division of the hounds,
and resumed the chase on the other side of the river, the Count
de Cambis remaining with the rest of the pack in case the stag
should be headed back over the water. This, however, did
not occur, for the noble beast kept gallantly on his way till
seven in the evening, when he at last took soil in a pond at
Villefermoy, beyond Melun, where he was taken. Only two
sportsmen besides the Princes were in at the death. After
t tking some refreshment, the Princes made their way back to
Fontainebleau, having rode over little, if anything, lets than 30
leagues of ground. They did not reach the palace till eleven.
We are informed that M. Romiguires, formerly At-
torney-General at Toulouse, has been summoned to the
Council, which doubtless wanted his advice. It is certain
that to-day (the 14th) M. Romiguires, who was sitting in the
Court of Cessation, received a letter so pressing, that he
quitted the Court while a cause was pleading, and that M.
Portalis, after having suspended the proceedings for a short
time, he resumed them, saying that M. Romiguires had been
called away by business of the Government.— Le Temps.
NEUILLT, JULY 14.—The King has received to-day from
his Majesty the King of Hanover, a letter concerning the death
of her Majesty the Queen, his consort. This letter was de-
livered to his Majesty by Baron de Stockhausen, Minister Re-
sident of the King of Hanover. The King will go into mourn-
ing on this occasion for twenty.ene days.
The King has received a letter from his Royal High-
ness the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg, announcing the mar-
riage of the Princess Caroline Charlotte, his daughter, to the
Prince Royal of Denmark.
The superior of a nunnery at Valence, being at Paris on
business, was, some days ago, passing along the Rue de Clery,
when she saw a woman drop down in convulsions. With the
aid of other persons, she so far recovered the sufferer that she
was able to speak, and, in a low voice, confessed to the nun that
she had poisoned herself. While the Commissary of Police
was coming, the sister endeavoured to give religious consolation
to the dying woman, and presented to her lips a relic, which,
however, was repelled with marks of terror , and yet, when
the woman afterwards came to be undressed, several conse-
crated wafers were found wrapped in a paper, and placed near
her heart. According to information afterwards obtained, the
poor creature carried on the shameful trade of a prostitute, but
was frequently visited by violent feelings of remorse, in one
of which excesses she had attempted to destroy herself. There
are hopes of her recovery.
It has been ascertained that the young man, who was
killed by his imprudence on the Versailles and Saint Cloud Rail-
road, the other day, was a clerk in the office of the Minister of
Public Instruction,where, as well as by his family, his untimely
end is much lamented.

assured that it it liiiistake, and one which next election
will thoroughly rectify.
The Norfolk Chronicle is quite heroic in .des-ribing
the triumph of its party. " Conserv:aim," it says;
" with its noble principles, will place Sir Robert Peel
in a position of prouder elevation, and even more solid
strength than perhaps was ever yet held by any British
statesman—the illustrious William Pita scarcely ex-
cepted." It speaks of it "as drawn out in its gigantic
array."

"It is said " (Leicestershire Mercury) " that
during the dreadful hardships of the disastrous Peninsular
war—such was the severity of some officers that the
smothered cry went round—' Thank God ! G— is
down.' So are we thankful that Walter is down—

whether he fell by shots received in front from his
enemies, or in the rear„ by friends, we care not a rush.
He's down, that's enough for us, and so is Fitzroy Kelly,
and his partner in sin and shame—and Dawson and
Herries, and Murray—all down."
The Dublin Evening Mail says, " that it is not
altogether unprepared for the cry of distress in the
Money market, nevertheless it fancies that the Tory
journals have begun to croak too early."
" The ejection," says the Hull Advertiser, "of Lord
Howick from Northumberland has been, we have rea-
son to know, a rather sharp piece of practice. It is
quito certain that, from the paces declarations of the
leading Conservative landlords, he was induced to ab-
stain even from preparation."

The Coventry Herald jeers at the excessive joy which
the Tories show, " Suppose," it says, " that the Tories
have stepped into place, is there a single soul of the
hundreds who are now so fantastically merry, who can
even conjecture what Sir Robert Peel will do ? No,
the capering simpletons are all thoroughly dumb."
