should avail themselves of so admirable an opportu-
nity of ensuring their popularity, we maintain such
a course would be equally reprehensible. It would
be a monstrous tampering with the commercial ar-
rangements of a vast commercial empire merely for
the sake of individual aggrandisement. We persist
in declaring that such a transaction, with such an
object, would be sufficient to entail ignominy upon
any Government. It must be remembered that
Ministers, besides being the supreme governors
of a nation, are likewise, in an especial manners
the conservators of the national interest ; they are
the rulers, but they are likewise the guardians of the
population ; they are the chief directors, but they
are also the protectors of the law. When CALONNE
squandered the revenues under Louis XVI., for the
purpose of ensuring to his Administration the favour
of the Court, he was execrated by the people. They
knew that he wa3 personally responsible for every
centime contributed to the national exchequer, and
that by lavishing those moneys for a merely party
purpose, he was guilty of an enormous crime. To
open the ports, therefore, with the intention of ac-
quiring the applause of the community, would be
nothing less than a gigantic larceny.
The entreaty for the remission of the protective
imposts still remaining must, consequently, as we
have already remarked, be based upon the supposi-
tion that starvation would be thereby prevented in
Ireland, and a dearth of provisions compensated
throughout the British islands. Facts the most un-
deniable prove those suppositions to be fallacies.
First, it is a fallacy to imagine that the Irish would
be enabled to purchase grain imported from foreign
countries, when they actually find their incomes
inadequate to buy the corn cultivated in their own.
Secondly, it is a fallacy to imagine that opening
the ports would diminish deficiencies in England,
when a deficiency does not exist. It is notorious
that the wheat harvest of England has been, this
year, both plentiful and of more than average excel-
lence. It is notorious that, notwithstanding the ex-
portation of considerable quantities of that wheat,
and the universal failure of the potato crop, that
the farmers still retain a very large quantity of
grain, and that wheat, and consequently bread,
'has been forced up to the present high prices
merely by the shameful retention of that home
produce, in the expectation of ultimately realising
famine prices, or something very nearly approaching
to famine prices. Beyond this, it is notorious that
considerable importations are being made in our larger
ports from those of the United States, and from Ham-
burgh, and that, moreover, at minimum duties. The
removal of those duties would only form an ad-
ditional means of nefarious emolument to the
' speculators, without proving in any degree beneficial
to the consumers. We have demonstrated, therefore,
that there is no imminent danger of a scarcity in this
country, and it is equally manifest to every candid
observer, that remote provisions would scarcely find
a market in Ireland, at a time when those which are
perfectly accessible are without purchasers. Food
rendered costly by being the production of foreign
labour, and by the exorbitant expenses of freightage,
would not most certainly be regarded as a boon to
those who are unable to buy grain cultivated in their
own fields. Under these circumstances, therefore,
the decision of the Ministry against opening the ports,
is wise, honest, and in every respect laudable.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1846.

was most excrutiating, and the unfortunate lad was
unable to walk from the scene of violence; he was
carried to the house of a neighbouring surgeon,
who, on examination, declared that if he was
not instantly taken to an hospital he would
be dead in less than a fortnight ; he was ad-
mitted to the London Hospital where he had been
six weeks confined to his bed, and was still suffering
from bad health and debility, consequent upon the
frightful assault committed on him. These were the
simple facts of the case, which were fully corrobo-
rated by the witnesses called on behalf of the defend-
ant, and the magistrate declared that a case of very
cruel and unprovoked ill-treatment had been made
out against the defendant whose witnesses had entirely
failed in establishing the defence he had set up.
We never remember to have heard of, we cannot
conceive a case more horrifying in all its details, and
presenting a greater combination of circumstances
unattended by anything of a mitigating or redeeming
character. The immediate commencement of perse-
cution, the distinct avowal of the master that he
would never teach the trade, that he
would continue to beat the boy whenever
he pleased—nay, the threat that he would
inflict a permanent injury, and would not rest until
he had laid him on a sick bed for six months, a threat
too speedily verified—all concurred and demanded
that the law should be fully vindicated and avenged.
We looked for the punishment, and could scarcely
credit our senses when we heard that the magistrate
had doubted as to sending the case before a jury, and
that he had decided that doubt by dealing with it
summarily, and fining the master 51., or two months
imprisonment. He also directed the indentures to be
cancelled, but permitted the master to retain one
quarter of the fee paid for teaching a business of which
he declared his intention not to communicate any
knowledge. We are, indeed, unable to fathom the
; motives which led to this judgment. Comment ap-
. pears to be quite unnecessary—nothing that we could
urge could add to the impression that must be pro-
duced by the perusal of the simple facts. We can
only say that, although the tyrant has been pro-
' tested by the magistrate's decision from the criminal
consequences of his conduct, he is still civilly amen-
able, and may be compelled to make a heavy pecu-
niary recompense for the injuries he so wantonly in-
flicted on his helpless and unprotected apprentice.

Much has from time to time been said of the un
equal character of the punishments awarded for
different offences, of the severity with which crimes
of a particular description have been dealt with, while
others of a deeper dye have been treated with far
greater leniency, in our courts. The comparative
immunity afforded to assaults and the most savage
attacks on the person, has especially been exposed,
the public attention most powerfully directed thereto,
and the wide range allowed to the discretion of the
presiding judge in apportioning the sentence most
deservedly and stringently commented upon. As we
have recently stated, it is peculiarly the province of
public journalists fearlessly to speak out whenever
the public interests are endangered by any abuse of
the power entrusted to police magistrates, either
by too great a stretch thereof, and the depriving of
the persons brought within their jurisdiction of the
protection they are constitutionally entitled to, of
vindicating their characters and conduct before a
jury, of receiving the benefit of any doubt, and of
being deemed guiltless, until convicted by twelve
men on their oaths, or, on the other hand, by the
magistrates shielding the offender, and disposing in a
summary manner of charges, which, if well founded,
cannot be adequately punished by any sentence within
his power to pronounce, and the disposal of which
under summary jurisdiction never entered into the
contemplation of the Legislature.

Some months since it was our painful duty to com-
ment upon a case of most heartless and oppressive
cruelty by a master towards his apprentice, who had
taken for his own use a sum of money bestowed on
the lad as a reward fur his good conduct, and
punished the lad in the severest manner
for complaining of the unjust appropriation.
The case at the time excited the greatest disgust in
the mind., of every right-thinking person, and a
general feeling existed that the most stringent mea-
sures were necessary for the protection of poor
lads, w hose future prospects and welfare are so greatly
dependent on the manner in which they are treated
by those entrusted with their destinies. We cannot
conceive anything more deserving of being punished
with the utmost rigour of the law, or where the in-
terests of society more loudly demand that an
example should be made of the delinquents, than
where there has been a wilful and deliberate violation
by the master of the sacred duties he has taken upon
himself on signing the indentures and accepting the
services of the apprentice.
On Friday, a brush-maker, residing in the Kings-
land-road, was brought before Mr. BINGHAM, the
presiding magistrate at Worship-street Police-court,
upon an adjourned warrant, to answer a charge of
excessive cruelty, pursued with the most systematic
brutality, towards his apprentice, who, in consequence
of the atrocious violence of his master, had been con-
fined to his bed in the London Hospital over six
weeks, suffering under the most fearful injuries. It
appeared in evidence that the lad, who was sixteen
Years of age, had been apprenticed in the month of
r April last, and that a sum of 51. 103. had been paid
ith him as a premium to the defendant, who forthwith
on receiving the money commenced a system of gross
ill-usage towards the unfortunate lad; the most op-
probrious epithets were constantly applied, and blocks
of wood thrown at his head by the master, who de-
clared that if the boy remained twenty years under
his roof he was resolved never to teach him the busi-
ness, thus deliberately avowing his intention of not
performing the contract he had so shortly before
solemnly entered into. It is scarcely credible that
this conduct, persevered in for more than three months,
had not the effect of procuring the interference
of the boy's friends, and of having him removed from
the house and the service of a person who had been
guilty of such misconduct. Doubtless the master
had calculated on some such result, and that he would
be permitted to retain the fee, for which he had given,
and was resolved to give, no consideration; he was,
however mistaken. By the-most culpable indifference
or inattention on the part of his friends, the lad was
still permitted to continue in the power of his tyran-
nical oppressor, who would appear to have determined
on some new and aggravated acts of cruelty and
violence. On the 3d of August last this intention
was carried into execution. The boy was humming
a tune, after leaving off his work, when the master
pursued him with a thick stick, and beat him with
such severity that for two days he was unable to re-
turn to his work. The father was at length aroused,
he remonstrated with the oppressor on the impro-
priety of his conduct, but was met with
abuse, and told that he, the master, would
beat the boy as often as he thought proper—nay, he
gloried in his brutality, and declared that he would
never rest until he had laid his apprentice, whom he
was bound to protect, on a sick bed for six months.
Surely this ought to have led to immediate steps for
his punishment, and for the protection of the helpless
lad ; but, no, the measure of cruelty was not yet filled
up, and when able to resume his occupation the boy
was sent back to his persecutor. Within three short
days, while sitting at work with his fellow-appren-
tice, the attack was renewed ; the master suddenly
entered
.the workroom, and, without the slightest
provocation, commenced kicking the boy in the lower
part of his person in the most savage manner; the pain ,

Letters from Constantinople, of the 17th, state that
a serious misunderstanding has arisen between the
Porte and the American Minister, in consequence of
the latter having given protection to anArmenian culprit
who had been delivered up to the Austrian authori-
ties, from whom he had managed to estr.ape.

Madrid papers of the 27th have arrived.
It was reported in Madrid that an attempt had
been made at a pronunciamento at Saragossa, which
had, however, been suppressed. The cry of the

other intelligence in these papers.

We have received the Paris papers of Sunday.
It is said that the coolness between the French and
English Governments still continues, and that M.
GUIZOT has ordered Count ST. AULAIRE to return to
his post at London, as his cooler judgment is needed
to tame the impetuous zeal of the Count DE JIRNAC.
The following appears in the Constitutionnel on the
subject of the rumoured modifications in the French
Cabinet :

" Some days ago we announced some Ministerial
changes as probable. On one point only were we in
error. It appears that there is no truth in the retire-
ment of M. Lacave Laplagne, and the entry into the
Cabinet of M. Passy. But the retirement of Marshal
Soult, and the promotion of M. Guizot, were quite de-
termined, A few days ago this fact was certain, but to-
day it is no longer so. The Ministry appears to have
adjourned all projects of modification, and especi-
ally the advancement of M. Guizot. Different ver-
sions are given as to the cause of the postpone-
ment. It has been said that the objections were raised
in the Cabinet itself, but we do not think that these are
the most considerable. Amongst the men of the Minis-
try, M. Guizot is the eminent one, and it is natural that
he should preside over the council. It is said that the
obstacles come from England, that the British Ambas-
sador paid a visit to the King, and expressed a hope
that M. Guizot should not he named President of the
Council. We do not believe that matters passed so ;
England is a constitutional country, and it is difficult to
suppose that such a request, under a form almost official,
should be made to the King by her representative—it
would, in fact, be a sort of direct intervention in the
choice of Ministers. But it is confidently stated, that it
was to M. Guizot himself that the English Cabinet de-
clared the impropriety which would appear to be con-
nected with his succession to the Presidentship under
present circumstances, in the midst of the discontent of
the English nation. On this advice, M, Guizot, it is said,
has resigned his promotion, and has postponed, at least
for the present, his Presidentship. Notwithstanding his
temporary resignation of this office, M. Guizot appears to
hrve bitterly felt this opposition of the English Cabinet
to his personal views."
It is so absurd to imagine that the British Am-
bassador should at all trouble himself on the subject o
M. GUIZOT'S promotion, that we at once express our
disbelief of the story. Another story, equally im-
probable and equally untrue, is going the round of
the salon 3, to the effect that the Count DE JARNAC
had presented to Lord PALMERSTON a note, com-
plaining of the tone adopted by the English journals
in speaking of the Montpensier marriage. Both
Count DE JARNAC and M. GUIZOT have been long
enough in England to know that neither Lord PAL-
MERSTON nor any other Minister has the least power
to prevent the journals publishing what they choose,
and in what manner they choose. W e have no laws
of September here.
The Debats announces the following diplomatic
changes : Boas LE COMTE, ambassador at
the Hague, to succeed the Comte DE PONTOIS in
Switzerland—the latter to be created a Peer. M.
BUSSIERRE goes to the -Hague. M. D. ERAQUE3 to
remain at Dresden. M. LANGSDOREF replaces M.
DE BA.LaNvAL at Carlsruhe, the latter going to Rio de
Janeiro.

"A week since," says our Paris letter, "the
French Three per Cents. were at 82f. 60c., and the
English Consols at 95f. to 951 f. To-day (Sunday)
the French Three per Cell's. are at 82f. 80c., while
Consuls are announced at 9.4 f. This will show you
how successfully the Funds are maintained by a
party, in presence of circumstances that would have
justified a fall of a franc in the Three per Cents."

EAST COAST RAILWAY.

An adjourned special general meeting of the share-
holders in the East Coast Railway Company was held
yesterday morning, at the offices of the company in Moor-
gate- street, for the purpossof considering and determining
upon the propriety of breaking up the concern, in ac-
cordance with the provisions of the Railway Companies
Dissolution Act; Mr. Morley, one of the directors, in the
chair. It was found, however, after waiting upwards of
an hour, that there was not a sufficient number of share-
holders present to constitute a meeting, but it was sug-
gested that the chairman should continue to attend
throughout the day till a meetins: could be made.
In the course of the day a sufficient number of scrip-
holders were got together, and the requisite quantity
of shares collected to constitute a meeting, and, a vote
having been taken, it was announced that there was a
large majority in favour of going on, and against a dis-
solution.
The meeting then broke up.

Against the propriety of a further prorogation of
Parliament there are no dissentient voices whatever
In reference, however, to the determination of her
MAJESTY'S Ministers to abide by the recent decision
of that Parliament as to the continuance of a variable
duty upon importations during the three years ante-
cedent to the realisation of a perfect commercial free-
dom, we observe that there are still individuals so
perverse as to gainsay the necessity for such a deci-
sion. Let us examine the matter for a moment sim-
ply and dispassionately. Let us see clearly the rela-
tion of the objections to this proposition, and the ad-
Tentage such a remission of duties is intended to
insure.

EXPERIMENT WITH CAPTAIN WARNER'S LONG
RANGE.—Colonel Chalmers, R.A., attended by Captain
Warner, has selected a range of marsh on the east side
of the Essex coast, where no danger can arise from the
experiments with the long range. The Lords of the
Treasury have granted the sum of 1,5001. to defray the
expenses consequent upon these trials, which are to take
place in the course of a few days, and both the Gallant
Captain and the Government have, it is stated unani •
mously selected Colonel William Dundas, C.B. Royal
Artillery, Inspector of Artillery, to carry out and decide
upon the merits of these experiments.
THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY PASSAGES ON RE-
CORD.—The new Clyde ship Deogautn, built by Messrs.
William Simon and Co. sailed from Greenock 22d
September, 1845 ; arrived out in Calcutta in ninety
days ; sailed again 28th January, and arrived at
Greenock 19th May ; left there again 13th June ; and
was out at Calcutta on the 12th of September ; thus
making the three passages, including the time in port, in
355 days.
OPENING OF AN HOMCEPATIIIC HOSPITAL.—On
Monday the house No. 17, Hanover-square, was publicly
opened for the reception of gratuitous in-patients. There
are upwards of 800 out-patients suffering under chronic
diseases at present on the books, besides a multiplicity
of individuals daily applying for relief. The institution
is under the presidency of the Earl of Wilton, Lord
Robert Grosvenor, the Earl of Shrewsbury, &c.

Why is there this earnest adjuration to the
Government to avail themselves of the extraordi-
nary authority with which they are invested, and to
open the ports ? It must evidently be from an
anxiety to prevent starvation in Ireland, and to supply
certain presumed deficiencies throughout Great
Britain. No other reason could be advanced with
uny degree of plausibility. If it be said by the ultra-
free-traders—" Never mind whether the panic be
actual or deceptive, avail yourselves of that oppor-
tunity, and, by a very specious plea, precipitate the
total destruction of monopoly,"—we maintain that
such a proceeding would be opposed to the dignity,
the candour, nay, the very honesty of any adminis-
tration. It u culd be a disgraceful employment of
the prerogatives of office, it would be indefensible
by any of the laws of political morality. If, again, it
be observed by the upholders of what is mis•
0411 ed Machiavellianism, that a sagacious Ministry

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of Last Night.,
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
5,000 bales, including 600 American on speculation.
The market was steady, but quiet ; American sorts
realised 4d. to 61d. per lb., and Surat 3id. to 4id. per
lb. Shares were much the same.
Intimately connected with City matters and the
extension of liberal principles in banking matters, the
mme of Patrick M. Stewart has, for years past, stood
pre. eminent. And deep is the regret which hundreds
of people moving in the higher walks of commercial and
monetary transactions felt at the news received of the
demise of this talented and estimable gentle-
man. To him, and to J. W. Gilbert, the manager
of the London and Westminster Bank (the
deceased gentleman was, wo believe, chairman of the
bank named from its commencement), the public are
indebted for organising under great difficulties—under
opposition the most intense from various quarters-
-1 the principle, which is now held to be most safe, of
joint stock banks being suitable to the mercantile
and trading wants here as well as in Scotland and else-
where. The deceased, affable in every respect, required
but an introduction to impart to those who asked it
every species of information which he possessed. And
the writer of this article has upon many occasions b+ en 1
indebted to the late Mr. Stewart for many articles of in-
formation given with the freedom and promptitude which
rendered interviews with him a source not only of intel-
ligence, but of delight. Too much is it the ease that in
other banking quarters strict reserve is the rule—to
give information the exeeption. In concluding these
few remarks with respect to the memory of the man
deservedly esteemed by all who knew him, we feel it
a duty to express deep regret at the termination
of the life of the man whose public and private career
has endeared him to all who had the pleasure of his ac-
quaintance.
There are not any late colonial arrivals announced in
the City this morning.
The market for the Public Securities has been
very animated this morning. Indeed a very
large amount of business has been transacted. Con-
sols for the Account have been quiet at 941 -I,
but for immediate transfer the more current
value just now is 94:i. There have been some
sales of the Three-and a-Quarter per Cents. at
9.54, and of the Reduced Three per Cents. at 931. Ex-
chequer-bills have ranged from 6s. to 9s. premium.
Bank Stock opened at 205, and is now at 204. India
Stock is quoted at 257, and the Bonds of the Company
at 225. premium.
Many transactions have cccurred in the Foreign
Funds to-day, but the fluctuations in prices are slight.
Spanish Actives are at 26, the Three per Cents. at 37,
