LONDON:
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1841.

The votes of the House of Commons already
contain a notice of a motion by Mr. BODKIN " for
early next Session." The Herald says, that after
the business of voting some unopposed grants,
and passing a continuation of the Poor-law Act
fur a short period, that the Parliament will be
then prorogued with a view to its re-opening by
her MAJts.ry with a speech from the Throne.
These circumstances confirm the reports to the
same effect which are already in circulation.
Supposing them true, some of the consequences
of so acting are worthy of notice.

'First, it is plain that the speech to be made by
the QUEEN, having Sir R. PEEL for her master,
will be very different from the speech lately de-
-li7ered by Lords Commissioners in the name of
the QUEEN when she had the Whigs for her
Ministers. It will at best shadow forth a totally
different line of policy in respect to the food of
the people when drawn up by Sir R. PEEL, Sir E.
KNATCHBULL, and the Duke of BUCKINGHAM,
than when drawn up by Lord JOHN RUSSELL,
Lord PALMERSTON, and Mr. LABOUCHERE. Such
.a proceeding will make it plain to the meanest
capacity that royalty—with all its prerogatives,
is only a puppit in the hands of contending fac-
tions., and that it moves differently as each pulls
the wires. We make no objection whatever to
that important truth being thus forced on the
.attentioß of the people, but the Tories must not
]lope, while they must 1 e aware that it is the
result of their own conduct, that it will'add to the
rvspect and veneration of the people for royalty.
At the same time, we object to royalty being
made the puppet of the Tories, and to a young
and gracious Lady being made the means of
giving credence and circulation to doctrines
which go -to starve the people, by limiting the
supply of food, and taxing the little they are
allowed to get for the benefit of the rent-owners.
Tit e
palpable puppetism of royalty is instruc-
tire in another sense. The men in office are not
the Ministers, they are the masters of the QUEEN.
They have been placed over her, and forced on
constituencies - and we, being lovers
her, by the cot ,
(10 not object to the con-
stituencies over-riding royalty. Not only have
the constituencies forced a master on the QUEEN.
they have changed all her MAJESTY'S household,
and are to change her whole policy. But if
the constituencies may do this for the QUEEN,
there can be no harm in their doing it ibr the
aristocracy; if the constituencies• may do it,
there is no reason why the unrepresented should
not do something of the same kind, which might
be pleasant to themselves, so that the Tory prac-
tices, if not the Tory doctrines, lead directly to
the most extreme democratic conclusions, and
they justify the assumption of power and go-
vernment by the unrepresented. It is impos-
sible to make a puppet of Royalty fur the behoof
of the aristocracy, without giving the democracy
a fair claim to the same power, both over the
Crown and the oligarchy.
Next, the proposed plan of prorogation will
postpone the meeting of Parliament till after
Christmas; probably till the beginning of Fe-
bruary. All attempts at relief by legislation,
then, are to be put off till next year. If legisla-
tion were not the exclusive cause of the evils
under which the country is suffering, we should
have no right to demand its interference to give
relief; but when bad laws—when laws op-
posed to all reason, honesty, and justice—laws
alike condemned by GOD, for his condemnation
is marked by the numerous physical and moral
evils those laws engender—and man, for the
multitude revolt against 'them when bad laws
cause gnat. matiifold mischief—it is a little too
great a trespass on the patience of the people—
it is tasking their obedience too hardly, to ask
them to sit quietly under these evils, without an

attempt to remedy them without even an
inquiry into them through the approaching
dreary months of winter, till next spring. The
law-makers having made the starvation law, may
then shoot game, but must not be troubled to
inquire into their own acts. Against such a post-
ponement of buriness, of relief; and of the aboli-
tion or letiening of a curse, we feel it to be our
duty at •ence to protest, and we hope whatever
fair trial some of the Radicals may be disposed
to concede to Sir R. PEEL, they will not concede
to him the right, without forcing him to a division,
to postpone all inquiry into the effects of the
starvation laws, and all relief till next February.
Indeed, we may say that we are sure they will
not. There are some honest and bold hearts who
not questioning those prerogatives in Parlia-
ment—the wires which move the royal puppet
which Tories and Whigs alike work to their own
advantage--but making some direct motion, will
bring the House of Commons to a decision on the
question, in substance, whether the patience and
the obedience of the shivering, half-fed, and half-
clothed people, shall be put—while their suffer-
ings are unrelieved and uncared for—to the test
of the winter. If it be the first plan of Sir R.
PEEL'S Government to prorogue the Parliament,
and throw the people on their own resources,
while that Parliament, by its laws, cuts up their
resources by the root, we must hold him and his
colleagues up to the indignation of the living
generation, and the execration of posterity, as
the provokers of disobedience, disturbance, and
rebellion. If the power of the Executive Go-
vernment is to be employed in upholding such
laws—laws infinitely worse than no laws at all—
the very existence of such a coercive Govern-
ment will be itself anarchy, and wild anarchy
will be the result of its acts. The Tories will, no
doubt, wish to shuffle off the business, and pro-
rogue Parliament, that they may enjoy office
and salary undisturbed by the complaints of the
wretches whom they se inhumanly doom to star-
vation; but we doubt if they will dare to•hazard
the peace of the empire.

Prorogue now ! Why, it rains—it's unplea-
santly cold : the weather has a November feel,
and the harvest is not yet gathered in. Fields
of corn are yet unharvested, and even uncut in
the south, while in the north they are not yet
ripe. The supply which can be obtained from
abroad, if we ransack the whole world, will not,
as the Herald has informed the public, exceed
two millions of quarters of wheat. Week after
week the aspect of public affairs changes with
the weather. The fate of the people, and with
that the fate of the Government, hangs on a few
days' sunshine or rain. Making sport as it were
of knowledge, science, and all human discretion,
and reducing civilized society to the condition of
the savage, who from ignorance cannot provide
for to-morrow, Tory legislation has brought so-
ciety and the Government to a sorry dependence
on contingencies, against which human prudence,
if not interfered with by brutal legislative rapa-
city and legislative ignorance, can and would
provide.. The QUEEN is dependent on Sir R.
PEEL; Sir R. PEEL is dependent on the consti-
tuencies; the constituencies are dependent on
the weather; and the weather, in spite of con-
stituencies, PEEL. and the QUEEN, positively for-
bids the prorogation of Parliament till it has
taken some steps to abate the sufferings of the
people. Parliament does not possess the power,
indeed, to undo the mischief it has done. It
cannot wipe out the effects of its own deeds. It
cannot raise crops on the sudden, though it has,
with great malignity, forbidden them to be
raised. What it can do is to show sympathy
with the people, and abolish its restrictions on
raising food, which will immediately encourage
persons to prepare for next year; and imme-
diately stimulate the capitalists to give employ-
ment to more labourers here, and enable them to
buy food while it will point to the employment of
as much land as possible in the cultivation of that
species of food which will next year be the earli-
est ripe. It may be the wish and intention of
the new Prime Minister to prorogue Parliament
till after Christmas. We beg to tell him most
plainly, but most respectfully, that he must not,
without first doing something for commerce and
the people, unless he desires to provoke a wide-
spread sedition. If it come, on his head be the
guilt and the punishment.

The following paragraph was carefully copied
into the Post yesterday morning:—
THE FACTORY SYSTEM.--It must be apparent to every
one residing in a manufacturing district, that the indis-
criminate mixing of the sexes in our factories is a most
prolific source of demoralization and pauperism. In
almost every case of application of illegitimate children
that has come before the Magistrates here or at Hud-
dersfield the mother had been working in a factory, and
in order to that application it was necessary that she
should have received relief from the parish, thereby
making herself a pauper. It is high time that some
legislative enactment was in force to put a check to this
growing and debasing evil.—Leeds Intelligence,.
Though the palpable explanation of the circum-
stance of all illegitimate children being born of
mothers who work in factories, is probably to be
found in the fact that the majority of women
who work at all work in them, the factory
owners and those who consider the manufactu-
ring system, though perhaps not carried on ex-
actly to their theory on the present plan, as an
essential step in the progress of society, will
ne-
vertheless see in this paragraph a specimen of
those systematic attacks on the factory system
• which the allies of the landlords are now making.
The paragraph is not more rational than if we
were to say of any agricultural district—Almost
every case of application on account of illegiti-
mate children that comes before the magistrates
of hundred, the mother has been working
in the fields, or has been a farmer's servant, and
therefin.e agriculture must be a prolific source of
demoralization. If we were able to prove that in
proportion to population the illegitimate births,
and mothers seeking relief; are greater than
in the factory districts, we might well exclaim
it is high time that some Legislative enactment
was put in force to check this growing'und de-
basing evil. But that would be as foolish a
mode of meeting the complaint as the complaint
is a foolish mode of retorting on the factory
owners. We shall not have recourse to such a
mode. ‘Ve call the attention of factory owners
to it in order to show them that all kinds of
means are now employed to make them and
their system odious to the public.

On Saturday the Times contained a long article,
being an account of the life of Wm. Donn, a
factory cripple, which was obviously intended
to nurture a prejudice against factories and
against the factory system. It is absurd, we are
well aware, to meet the demands of the manu-
facturing capitalists for a free trade in corn by
pointing to the cruelties which may be practised
possibly in his establishment. It is no excuse
for the rent owners, that the factory owners are
unjust. Let them first pull the beam out of
their own eye, then they may possibly see
clearly to pluck the mote out of the eye
of the factory owner. At the same time
it is palpable that such statements will make an
impression on the community; and the factory
owners, if they wish their cause to prosper, must
be prepared to meet and repel them. Jf they
cannot repel them, at least they should be pre-
pared to show that the factory system has many
compensations for those cases of individual
cruelty. It sometimes cripples a youth, as what
employment does not, but it nourishesmanyithou-
sands or millions. The case of DODD, quoted by
the Times, might be easily paralleled in the agri-
cultural districts. Scores and even hundreds of
persons may be found there whose limbs have
been bent and crippled by exposure to the wea-
ther, by sleeping on the damp earth, or by rheu-
matism, caught by exposure to the atmosphere
hi all seasons, and at all hours.

But the factory owners must do more than
that ; they must show that their system is a ne-
cessity ; that it is full of blessings, teeming with
freedom, improvements, and inventions and
that it only requires a little subsidiary care to
become as ornamental as it is useful. They have
unfortunately neglected the embellishments of
which it is susceptible. They must adorn their

workmen's houses to relieve them from f.e cha:-
meter of stables or barracks.

A great deal is effected by appearances, and
the dingy look of our manufacturing towns,—
the rows of small unadorned houses, though
they may abound in comfort, give to sentimental
travellers a very unfavourable impression of our
manufacturing towns, and lead them readily to
believe that they are the abodes of all that is
physically and morally abominable and pesti-
lential. If the factory owners wish to have fair
play, they
.must exert themselves to place their
system in its proper light before the public.
If they cannot effect that, and sentimental
horror continues to afford'a pretext to the hu-
mane and charitable, but perhaps unthinking
portion of the community to support the unjust
Corn-laws, they are likely to suffer under them
f'r some time longer. This class affords a power-
ful support to the landlords, and to that nume-
rous class of labourers who see in the capi-
talists, as they invent and employ machi-
nery—without reflecting to how many per-
sons the new machinery gives employment—only
avaricious men, who, utterly regardless of the
labourers, deprive them of employment to en-
rich themselves. There is, on this account, no
inconsiderable degree of hatred between the capi-
talists and the labourers of the manufacturing
towns. It has been carefully nourished by poli-
tical demagogues, we admit, but as long as it
exists, and as long as the sentimentalists can
discover nothing in these towns but barracks and
chimnies, they are not likely to obtain from the
Legislature that justice which is due to every
class and every man in the community. They
constitute a comparatively new portion of
our society, and are regarded with repug-
nance by the older portions. They have
no adverse interest, but they have a differ-
ent appearance, which enables those who wish
to plunder also to decry them and generate an
opinion that in resisting the repeal of the Corn-
laws they confer a favour on the labourer, and
only oppose the greedy desire for riches of the
factory owners. The subject is worthy, we think,
of their attention and we may, perhaps, recur
to it.

Some persons seem inclined to regard SIR
ROBERT PEEL'S Cabinet as composed of Liberal
in equal proportion with Orange or Starvation
politicians. Those persons, however, reckon Sir
JAMES GRAHAM, Lord STANLEY, and the Earl
of RtroN, amongst the Liberals, while the fact
is, that all these, being apostates and renegades,
will show their Tory zeal to be more Tory than
the Ultra-Tories themselves. Add to these the
Duke of BUCKINGHAM and Sir EDWARD
KNATCHBULL and the Cabinet appears
to us as unfavourable to all the ptinci-
ples of personal and commercial liberty as
could be framed. To give it a full measure of
Orangeism Colonel PERCIVAL is now a Lord of
the Treasury, and nothing is wanting but Lord
RODEN in the Household to make it as complete
an Orange Ministry as the PEEL Ministry of
1834-1835. We shall soon learn, however, as the
new writs will be moved for this day, by the ad-
dresses to the electors of Tamworth, Lancashire,
and Dorchester, what are the principles to be
espoused in common by Lord STANLEY, Sir Ro-
BERT PEEL and Sir E. KNATCHBULL. We look for
no details, but the principles on which this mix-
ture of Reformers and anti-Reformers have
agreed we shall expect to see. It has long been
the opinion of all sensible men that nothing is
to be got from any Ministry but by dragging it
from them, and therefore, whatever may be Sir
ROBERT PEEL'S opinions, the Reformers, to have
reform, must drag it from the clutches of the
Tories.

We have received the Pe Papers of Mon-
day, which are unusually barren. For some time
past the change in our Ministry has formed the
principal topic of discusSion for them, but that
seems now exhausted, and they have not yet
found another subject of equal interest. The
disarmament recommended by Sir ROBERT
PEEL, which is so truly a Whig sentiment, and
and so truly conformable to Whig policy, that it
was much more cheered by the Whigs than by
the Tories, continues to be discussed by the Na-
tional, and is noticed by the Presse. Between
the Liberal or Democratic Journals of France
and England, each "speaking, we believe, the sen-
timents of the people, there is this differ-
ence, that the former hate disarming, and
are all for war, while the latter are all for peace
and the cultivation.of commerce. The National
sees, on the accession of the Tories to power—and
in this takes a juster view than when it con
&inns disarming—the complete reconstruction
of the Holy Alliance of the Restoration against
all that appertained to the Empire. The Presse,
speaking, we believe the language of the Prime
Minister, and expressing Ills:hopes, takes an op-
posite view. It says : '
The political horizon was lately rather overclouded.
The elections in England, and the advent of a Tory
Cabinet, might have given rise to some agitation
abroad ; and with us the census had produced dis-
turbances which, though not serious, still kept the pub-
lic mind in a state of alarm. But now all appre-
hension, all uncertainty has vanished. England was
never so tranquil. The Tory Cabinet proclaims the
policy of peace, and as a manifest token of its
intentions, gives the first example of disarming. By
the Ist of January the British navy will be reduced
one-third. On the Continent we behold the same spirit
of peaceful policy. Prussia 'will disband the greatest'
part of her army, after the . autumnal reviews of this
year. We learn from Vienna that the Austrian army
likewise will be considerably reduced. In France the
Government will have the good sense to follow such
salutary examples. The disturbances that had but lately
agitated some parts of the kingdom are appeased. Never,
in short, has our external and internal situation been
more satisfactory, or held out better prospects for the
future. And it is at so favourable a juncture that our
Three per Cents. are kept down to 76, when only a year
ago they were at 85, and at this very moment the Eng-
lish Three per Cents. arc at 90. Is not such a rate in
complete contradiction with the tendencies of public
opinion and the state of public credit ?
" The budget of 1843 is balanced. Our attention,
then, is now drawn to the wants of the Treasury for 1841
and 1842. After paying off the half-year due on the 22d
September, the Finance Minister will still have at his
disposal a sum of 100,000,000 francs, to which must be
added the daily receipts and the produce of taxes. With
this capital before hitn, the Minister, who doubtless
knows how to count, does not think it necssary to listen
to the advice of those who are continually crying out to
him to make haste.
~.More confident, and better able to
judge, than those advisers of the future destiny of France,
lie hopes that our funds will rise to be more on a level
• with our resources and our great national riches.
" We are not, therefore, surprised at a delay of which
others seem to complain. We rather rejoice to see it
adopted, because it proves that Goverment sees no dark
cloud on our political horizon, and fears no chances un-
favourable to our general prosperity, which would of
course influence the price at which money might be
raised when it shall think In to make a loan. • Know
1101. to abide your time and good will Come.' was the
motto of a very able predecessor of M. Humann, Count
de Villele; the maxim is, at the present day, both useful
and easy of practice, for no situation calls less for haste
and hurry than the actual state of the country."
Whence the Presse may have derived its in-
formation of the reduction of our navy we are
not aware, but if Sir It. PEEL take any such
step, where will be the thunder of the Times, and
the lightning of the other Tory Journals, which
have incessantly deMandyd a great increase Of
the navy. The Presse is probably completely
misinformed on this point, and has interpreted
Sir It. PEEL'S verbal communication to the
French Government, that the English fleet in
the Mediterranean will be reduced; into a pro-
mise of a general reduction of our navy, which
the circumstances of the country and the policy
of the Tories will not warrant.

Some excitement had prevailed at Paris, in
consequence of a report that the French corvette
Victorieuse had been seized on by the Spanish
Government at Mahon, but the Moniteur has
twice denied the statement, which seems there-
fore unfounded.

•
The following are all the miscellaneous extracts
which are of any interest :
M. Tests, Minister of Public Works, is at present at
Lyons, visitin,,,r the most remarkable of• the manufac-
turing establishments in that city.- •
According to the Magdeburg Gazette two capitalists of
Leipsic have obtained from the Russian Government the
contract for making a railroad from St. Petersburgh to
Moscow, the conditions they offered being much more
favourable than those of the Russian speculators.
M. Saglio, Deputy and Vice-President of the Council-
General of the BaS Rhin, was coining fr.3m the sitting of
the Council, a few days since, at Strasburg, when lie
fell down in an apoplectic fit, and died immediately.
The members of the bar of Age% have pronounced

~lieir opinion again,,t, the legality of the Ordonnance for
I dissolving the Municipality of Toulouse.

- The Civil Tribunal-of Caen has recently decided that
the`29th of July being a legal fete day, no debtor is lia-
ble to be arrested upon it.
" Prince Milosh," says a letter from Vienna, " wore a
most magnificent costume when he was presented the
other day to the Emperor. He had a sort of tunic of
sky-blue, embroidered with gold and pearls • on his
breast were the insignia of several orders in diamonds,
and the Grand Cross of the Iron Crown ; on his head
was a kind of Slavic kolpack of the finest sable, to
which a heron's' feather was attached by a magnificent
diamond agraffe ; by. his side he wore the sabre, studded
with gold and precious stones, which the late Sultan
Mahmoud sent him six years ago. His appearance has
produced quite a sensation in our Court circles."
The Director of the central House of Detention at
Clermont has contradicted the statement of several apart-
men' being prepared there for Mme. Laffarge. So far
from this being the case, he states that it is impossible
to allow her even a cell entirely to herself'.
Various papers in Normandy, and in the north-east
of France, state that the harvest has turned out much
better than was expected. The graziers near Caen have
had every reason to be contented with the season.
The Courrier de Lyons relates an anecdote of the Duke
d'Aumale, who was marching some days ago near Cham-
forgueil, accompanied by two of his officers at a little
distance from the regiment. His Royal Highness was op-
pressed with heat, and thirsty, and meeting two country-
women carrying milk, asked them for some. He was at first
refused, the women looking at the young dusty soldier with
suspicion as to his means of payment. At length they gave
him some, and the prince having taken a hearty draught,
gave a piece of gold to the woman to pay for it. The
latter, not having anything like sufficient change, said
to her companion—" This is always the way with these
soldiers ; they offer you money which they know you
cannot change, arid so they get off without paying at all,
but I shall not be caught again," and she was going to
give the money back ; but the Duke, who had been
laughing heartily at her, said—" Never mind, my good
woman, keep it, and give me the change when I come
this way again." The woman overwhelmed her customer
with thanks, and left him without the slightest suspicion
as to he was.

" At St. Petersburgh, on the 18th ult.," says the Pos
And Gazette, " the audience at one of the principal
theatres, perceiving a great light behind the curtain, an-
ticipated some grand display of fireworks, and began to
express their delight by, clapping and shouts of applause.
This delusive joy was only increased, instead of being
converted into terror, by the appearance in front of the
stage of an actor, vociferating the house was on fire ; for
the people believed that this was a trick of the
scene, and continued their noisy acclamations. To unde-
ceive them, the manager ordered the curtain to be raised
and exposed to them the flames, which soon invaded the
whole building. The' rush to the door became instantly
so violent, that many persons were killed or dreadfully
injured before they could make their escape. There
was another issue, but it was closed, and in ordinary
times is not to be opened without the authority of the
police-officer, who had not yet arrived. A man, seeing
the urgency of the occasion, rushed through the flames,
and, at the risk of his life, forced the way open, and thus
saved many from destruction. We have not heard the
details of the results of the accident, but have learnt that,
on the following day, the brave man, to whom so many
others owed their lives, was invested with an honourable
distinction by the Emperor's own hand, and bad secured
to him a pension for life of 2,000 f."
On,Saturday an experiment was made, on the Meudon
and -Versailles railroad, of an engine made by M. Pau-
wels. The Ministers of the Interior and Commerce,
M. *rand, Under Secretary of State for Public
Worki, M. Bineau, Chief Engineer of Mines, M. Se-
guier, of the Institute, and other personages, had been
invited to witness the experiment, and were con-
veyed by this engine in two waggons to Versailles and
back. The traject from Paris to Versailles was made in
15 minutes, giving a velocity of 64 kilometres, or 39
miles 6 furlongs per hour. At Meudon the feeding pipe
burst, and from thence to Versailles little or no power
was derived from the steam. The return was effected in
14 minutes, the hole in the pipe having been stopped.
If the pipe had not burst, there is no doubt but that the
distance would have been done in 12 minutes, being at
the rate of 80 kilometres, or 55 miles 7 furlongs per hour.
PARIS, SEPT. 6.—The Moniteur of this morning has
no official part. We find the following article in the
Maniteur Algerien of the 30th of August :
" All the latest accounts from Oran agree in stating
that the nomination of Hadji Mustapha Ouli d'Osman
Bey to the post of Bey of Mostaganem and Mascara,
has given the greatest satisfaction to the tribes which
live near the Chelif.

".At the departure of the packet Mostaganem was full
of Arabs, who came to pay their respects to the new Bey,
and to offer him hostages as pledges of their submission.
The number of the partizans who have already declared
for him, was already sufficiently considerable for him,
if he had thought fit to put himself at their head and
shown himself in public, but he had judged it best to
wait for the return of his brother, the Khalifa Ibrahim,
who has come to Algiers for the standard, the band of
music, &c. with which it is usual for the Bey to be ac-
companied. Ibrahim, who left Algiers on Tuesday, pro-
bably arrived at Mostaganem on the 25th of this month.
The Illoniteur Algerien subjoins to this article extracts
of letters received from Mostaganem, which describe the
actual departures of the tribe. The same journal says,
that some tribes in the province of Constantine had ma-
nifested intentions to rebel, and had committed depreda-
tions, which were speedily put a stop to.—Le Conslitu-
tionnd, Sept. 6.
PARIS, SEPT. s.—We have spoken of the report that
the Municipal Council of Paris would shortly be dis-
solved. From the further inquiries we have made, we
believe that we may affirm that this report is wholly un-
founded.. The Minister was much vexed, as we know,
by the protest of the municipality on the subject of the
census, but his vexation has passed over, and he would
imprudently strike a blow at such an Assembly. In pro-
testing, whether with or without reason, against the mea-
sures which alarm it, the Municipal Council of Paris only
exercised a right. We may blame the use it has made
of it, but not punish it for it. It is not such protests
that the Government should repel, but those that are
armed.—Le Temps, Sept. 6.

Zeitung, Sept. 2

We have accounts from Madrid of the 30th
and 31st ult. The representative of France has
expressed much displeasure that the lease
of the Isla del hey, at Mahon, has not
been renewed. Some apprehensions were en-
tertained that the anniversary of the Conven-
tion of Bergara might give rise to tumults,
but it passed over quietly. Preparations were
making to celebrate the anniversary of the
Pronunciamento of September, but that was to
be all festivity. The Spanish Five per Cents.
were 26 3-16 for cash, and 261 at G 0 days.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

The accounts from . Madrid of the 21st ult.
state that the anniversary of the conclusion of the
treaty of Bergera had passed over without any
official manifestations, but that great prepara-
tions were making for the celebration of the an-
niversmy of the pronunciamento of September.
The Government bad not yet obtained the ad-

mencement of the partridge shooting season. Birds are

until the crops shall have been housed.—Somerset
