question, for the purpose of taking measures to avert Cx
cons?quenccs of it.
France, we know, is not so directly interested in this
affair as Portugal and the United States ; but there is an
interest which predominates above all others ; it is that of
justice and cf respect to international rights. We therefore
willingly believe that our Cabinet, notwithstanding its pre-
dilection for England, pereei% es all that the Ord-_r in
Council, of the month of April, contains, ar,d that it will
unite its remonstrances with those of other commercial
nations, against the repetition of violations by Grost Bri-
tainof the rights of nations.

There are many reports respecting the appointment 'f
Admiral Mackau, in the room of Admiral Bau-il. We
refrain from repealing them. We will reimrk, however,
that Admiral Mackau is not, like Admiral Baudin, ap-
pointed " Commander-in-Chief of the French naval force
employe.d in seas of South America," but rcer,ly
" Commander of the naval division charged with the
blockade of the ricer Mite." M. Thic:s dezlared ;n the
Chamber last month that Almi..al Bau,i a was going to
Buenos Ayres to terminate the" sffiir by a treaty, it pos-
sible, by war if it were necessary. Does this change in
the title given to Admiral Mackau indicate other intentions ?

ELOPEMENT.-011Monday morning last, the
inhabitants of Ludlow were thrown into a state of sui prise by
the announcement that the daughter of a yeoman, resident in
the neighbourhood of the town, had eloped with a jolly young
Irishman well known on the turf; this gay lovemonger was an
entire stranger in this part of the country, and had not been in
the company of the lady many times before he struck the bar-
gain with her for elopement. In the evening of Sunday last
the Irishman went in a chaise about a mile out of the town,
and, on the wings of love, the fair one sprang, almost as quic&
as lightning, into the vehicle containing her new and fond
lover. —Het eford Times.

LITERATURE

THE DREAM, AND 01HER POEMS.
Co!burn, London.
There are many passages of deep and unaffected ten-
dernesl in the principal poem in this collection, and not
a few in which the idea sought to be conveyed is so en-
cumbered by verbiage, that it is scarcely pasale to get
at it, Mrs. Norton has an uncommon command of
langthige, end is never at a loss for poetical forms of
expression ; but she Silcuid not make too frequent a
parade—like the late Mrs. ilernans—of her qualifica-
tion in this respect, or she may lead her readers to
imagine that her genius is more remarkable for its
foliage than its fruit. For ourselves, we like her most
:here she is the.simplest and most unlaboured, and ex-
presses tiatttrial emotions in an easy, natural manner.
Hence we prefer the minor poems to the chief and most
mtvitious one, from which the present volume derives
its name. We shall be pleased to meet with her again
. -
in print, for sue as both feeling and fancy in no stinted
degree,and :wri!es not film'h the recollections and asso-
siations furnished by preceeding poets, but from her
own vivid impreisions of things.

SUNDAY HABITS; of THE LON
DONERS.

The whole of London airs itself on Sundays. We
bare already noticed this change in the metropolitan
habits. The shoals of the working classes who are ex-
changing their pothouse Sabbath habits for the fresh air
of the surrounding country, are creating an era in the
habits of towns. It is the opinion of medical men that
the increased healthfulness of London is materially pro-
duced by this Sunday air-taking. It must not be. supposed
that the churches are deserted for the country jaunts ; it
is the gin temple, not the hlouse of God, that suffers by the
change ; they who went to church before go still. There
are churches in the country,and the scenery, of nature is at
as the
might be
asettiocaebffileietyt, oitf any least as inspiring in the worship of "Natures God "
fumes and vapours of crowded streets and reeking beer.
shops. There are no class of persons whose motives are
more to be respected, or judgment to be deplored, than
they who oppose the innocent recreations of the sal).
bath. Could we suddenly spiritualise the whole
popu-
lation, and achieve a millennium of religious perfection,
wherewith there could exist no vices to be shunned,'

fallowing
from a contrary
course, appears from t but statement made
by Mr. Joseph Hume,of which 1 have not
been able to ascertain the accuracy, though I be-
lieve it is founded on fact :—., In the first five
months of 1838 there were. 2,3. 80 arrests in London
of disorderly persons
ddrklB-40"1 the
same period
of 1839, 2,9.20,--an- of _ , 1,320." The ques-
tion is, whether the Sabbath is better kept by sobriety
or drunkenness ; they who think by the former must
cease to think that the better observance of the Sabbath
can be effected by deriving the poorer classes of coin•
partitively innocent enjoyments, . and of the utmost faci-
lity for country airing and recreation. We are con-
stantly told of the breach of. the Sabbath abroad, and
yet if amount of Sunday sin is test, the Sabbath is at
least twice as much broken in this country as in any Con-
tinental one. Not only as a Physical remedy but as a
moral one, not alone as a means of healthfulness, but
for the sake of the better observance of the Sab-
bath, it is surely most desirable that every description
of recreation which may
tendto refresh the body with-
out injuring the mind, and to elevate the mind without
Y be opened to the people on the

The public sales were large ; they consisted principally
of East India and Mauritius Sugar. There was little spi-

been small from all quarters. Several public sales have
been declared, some of them important.

This morning at eleven o'clock, the Sheriffs, accom-
panied by the Secondary and the other City officers,
proceeded to the Guildhall, to open the poll-books and
cast up the poll. This being (lone, no alteration was
made in the numbers as they were placed on the poll
last night. The Hall was then adjourned to to-morrow
at one o'clock, at which hour the state of the poll will
be officially announced, and the return made by the
Sheriffs to the Court of Aldermen. There were very
few persons present to-day.

Mr. CRAIG resumed the revision of the list of voters
for the parish of St. George, Hanover-square to-day,
but the cases which came before the Learned Gentle-

on account of the defect of their occupation, and non-
Payment of their rites. None of the cases possessed
any interest.

There have been moderate fresh supplies since Monday,
and few buyers. Transactions in any kind of grain were
difficult to effect, and for Wheat and Oats Monday's prices
were scarcely obtainable. Flour as last reported.

ex-
cited considerable attention. We are surprised,
however, to see that one Journal has quoted thi;
case as a proof of the necessity of " a discretionary
summary jurisdiction, under prescribed limitations,
in cases of petty larceny." We should like much
to see the " prescribed limitations," before ap-
proving of extending summary jurisdiction ; for if
such a case as this were tried before two Magis-
trates of the present race of country squires, it
would surely be followed by conviction and punish-
ment. We are sensible of many imperfections in
Jury trials, but they have an inestimable advantage
in the publicity which attends them ; and we do

EVENING EDTTION'._,

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin—Permit me to oiTcr a few words on Lord Jobn
Russell's letter to the Dissenters of Stroud.
His Lordship's expressions of respect for dissenting Mi'
nisters are much too vague to neutralize the bitter con-
tempt which pervaded his speech on Mr. Duncombe's Bill.
My present purpose, however, is to point out a fallacy
which his Lordship at'empts to palm on the Dissenters, for
high constitutional integrity.
His words are " I cannot admit that John Tborogood,
or any other person, is to decide for himself what laws be
shall obey, or what courts he will attend."
The impression intended to be made is, that public duty
requires every man to attend a Court to which be may be
summoned.
Lord John knows this is not the fact. He knows that
an individual summoned before Justices for any de-
mand on which they have jurisdiction, or to a law
court in an action, may consult his own pleasure
whether to attend or nct, and in default of his appearance
a verdict on the matter at issue is taken against him.
will
This is just and sensible ; but Lord John says he willnot admit such discretion.

In the Ecclesiastical Court a man declining to appear
will be imprisoned for his whole lifetime, though the mat-
ter in dispute be but a single penny.
This is barbarous and unconstitutional ; but Lord Jolla
declares it is " neither cruel nor unjust."
Dissenters denounce Ecclesiastical Courts, as founded
on a monstrous claim of jurisdiction by one religious sect
over other sects ; and that, too, in the name of Him who
declined all earthly jurisdiction, and said, " Man, wl3°
made me a judge or a divider over you ?"
This is their pi imary complaint. It is an additional
grievance that in these Courts the Judge is a Churchman,
and so interested in the question at issue; that the deci-
sion is wholly in himself without control by a Jury ; thati
witnesses are secretly examined ; that the expenses 0"
proceedings are drawn out in a way which amounts to a
denial of justice ; and that neglect of its antiquated fora°
is visited with the most atrocious punishment.
But Lord John Russell says, the present state of law is
" neither cruel nor unjust."

The Bombay Gazette, of the 31st January, says :

" We receive most unfaveurable accounts of the state
of the crops in and about the Cuttarh and Balascore dis-
tricts. About two-thirds have been totally lost from
drought, and grain is consequently rising every day in
price in the town of Bulsaore. The last quotations were

This is an establishment for nervous and mental invalids of

principles, and managed by a Conimittee of Gentlemen on a
scale of very superior comfort and elegance.
Th• medical department is entirely confided to an able and
experienced physician constantly resident in the house (J.
Anderson, Esq., M.D. ), whilst a number of well-educated
and talented persons, male and female, are conducting the
moral and social treatment of the patients, which is here carried
out to an extent never before attempted ; and with a success,
even beyond what was ever anticipated.
Those who have visited Denham Park have admitted that
no correct idea can be formed of this establishment, except by
personal inspection ; all detailed description is therefore avoided
in this advertisement, and those who have friends or relatives
r.:quiring kind protection and constant medical care are ear-

This Society, in,addition to the general business of Insur-

persons of very moderate means to attain those objects hitherto
confined to the more wealthy, viz. :-
Ist. Insurii.g their lives in sums from 5/. and upwards, se-
curing Deferred Annuities as a provision for Old Age ; Weekly
Allowances during Sickness ; and Endowments for Children,
the Premiums being divided into Monthly Instalments for the
convenience of the Insured. Also for the protection of such
as possess only a small personal property, Insurances are effect, d
against loss by Fire, in sums from 10/. to 1001., by Quarterly
Payments ; thus Household Goods, Wearing Apparel, Stock
in Trade, Workmen's Tools, &c., to the value of 20/. can be
Insured, on payment of Sixpence every Three Months, duty
incl uded.,
The attention of the Public is particularly directed to this
very novel feature, for the man to whom this fact is known, will
hence:orth deserve little sympathy should he become the victim
of a calamity, against the evils of which he could so readily
have guarded.
Prospectuses, detailing at length the various modes and rates
of Insurance, can be obtained on application at the office, 351,
