A report has been received stating a case of Spasmodic Cholera
to have occurred at Pittington, three miles and a half north-east
of Durham, which terminated fatally.
(Signed) WM. MACLEAN, Secretary.

The Quarter's Revenue will not be made up
till a late hour this evening. Reports are various
—but they are only reports.

We learn that the negotiations with the French
Government, in regard to the details of the
treaty of which the Protocol may be considered
to have been already made, are in such a state as
to afford considerable hope of the desired con-
summation being attained. One of the Com-
missioners of the Customs is, we understand, in
Paris, endeavouring to arrange the minor points,
and it is satisfactory to hear that the disposition
of the French Ministry continues favourable to
the spirit of the modifications proposed. The
success of the proposition will not only reflect
credit upon our Government, but will be, of
necessity, of the highest public benefit to both
countries.

The basis of Mr. PITT'S treaty, of 1787,
affords an excellent model for the proposed mea-
sure, and the great increase of the trade between
the two countries which followed it for the few
years of the treaty's continuance, is a sufficient
pledge of the beneficial results to be now antici-
pated. Nothing can be more disgraceful than
that the intercourse between two such countries
as Great Britain and France should be so limited
as it is ; but it cannot be otherwise whilst the
French prohibit our cottons and hardware, and

we impose duties, amounting to prohibitions, on
the brandies, the wines, the oil, the fruit, and
the silks of France. It is, perhaps, hard to sa3
which of the two tariffs is the most abominable,
but it is so far plain, that it does not lie in the
mouth of a British Minister to reproach France
for following aZ illiberal policy, as compared with
our's. There is much to be conceded on both
sides, before the system of retaliation can be
brought to an end.

It was an opinion of the late Mr. HUSKIS.
SON'S that the period for commercial treaties had
gone by, and assuredly there would be no need
of them if each nation would take for the prin-
ciple of its tariff that sound maxim of leaving
industry alone, with which a system of protection
is altogether inconsistent. If France, for ex-
ample, had framed her tariff solely with a view
to revenue, and not to the forcing of particular
branches of industry to the exclusion of others,
her wine-growers would not have been ruined by
the loss of a vent for their wine. The vice of
interference is unhappily an old and inveterate
one in the French Government, and has ope-
rated also upon the silk manufacture to a very
great degree. If the silk trade of Lyons had
been allowed full energy and sway, instead of
being restricted in foreign markets, for the sake
of forcing the cotton of Rouen and the iron of
Charenton, the silks of England, Germany, and
Switzerland would not now have rivalled those
of Lyons and Tarare ; nor would the Spaniards
and Italians have wrought their own coarse fa-
brics for home consumption. The destitution
of the Lyons workmen, and the consequent dis-
turbances, are, we believe, to be traced without
difficulty to the mischievous system of restriction
which has for some time past paralyzed the pro_
ductive energies of France.

The French Papers of Tuesday contain little
news. The Funds improved at the close of

We have received American Papers to the
16th of December, but we have no room for
extracts. The packet ship Manchester, respect-
ing which some fears were entertained, had ar-
rived safely at New York on the 16th ult.

Montreal Papers to the 7th December, and
Quebec to the sth, have been received. The
port of :Montreal was clear of square-rigged yes
sels, and the winter had only just set in—a cir-
cumstance unusually late. The navigation at
Quebec remained open on the sth ult.

It will be seen by The Sun of this day, that
five of the six Bristol rioters, who were put on
their trial, have been found guilty. Sentence
has not yet been passed on them.

In another part of The Sun will be found a
report of the Aggregate Meeting held on Satur_
day last in Dublin. With the sentiments uttered
at this meeting relative to tithes, and even to the
Reform question, we find no fault ; our only
cause of complaint is that they are delivered, ex
cathedril, prematurely, and at a most inauspicious
season, when those who are struggling to gain
for Ireland, as well as for England and Scot-
land, the blessings of a free representation,
are surrounded with difficulties, and exposed
hourly to the restless, subtle, never-ending
intrigues of the most corrupt, malignant
faction of which history makes any mention.
Mr. O'CONNELL himself seems to be partly of
our way of thinking ; he seems aware that his
present position is no very commendable one,
by the extreme pains he takes in his speech to
justify his measures of agitation, and to prove
that he could not, from necessity, act otherwise
than he is now acting. But granting to this
arch agitator that agitation at a fitting season
is productive generally of great good, we
would simply ask him, is this the fitting season ?
Are not the friends of Ireland, the zealous anni-
hilators of her rotten boroughs, the advocates
for improvements in her system of represents:
tion, now the present Ministers ? And is it
wise—is it just—is it generous—nay, is it
reconcilable . with common sense, to en-
deavour to harass them with difficulties,
to barricade every step of their progress ?
Is it thus that Mr. O'CONNELL would serve
Ireland, by doing his very utmost to in-
crease
the power of her enemies, by crippling
that of her friends ? Truly it is, to say the least
of it, most questionable patriotism, which in-
duces a man to lend new energies to an ascend.
ancy faction, by throwing stumbling-blocks in
the way of a Reforming Administration. The
Whigs are Reformers. Mr. O'CONNELL is
also a Reformer. The difference between
them—for they both agree in principle—is one
only of degree ; but is this a sufficient reason
for throwing a whole nation into convulsions ?
Because two Reformers differ, is, therefore, the
very principle of Reform itselfto be jeopardized ?
Really, Mr. O'CONNELL should be cautious
how he acts, or by his incendiary appeals—ap-
peals which scarce lunacy itself can justify—he
may be the occasion of mischief, for which no
after recantation can atone.

We deprecate the whole system of agitation
now going forward in Ireland. It is absurd,
useless, suicidal, and can answer no end but
that of endangering the Reform question. The
true patriot joins sagacity with zeal ; he chooses
his time well ; he directs his energies into a
proper channel ; but the itinerant brawler is the
same at all times and all seasons—a firebrand
whom all good men have equal interest in en-
deavouring to extinguish.
We repeat, we do not quarrel with Mr.
O'CONNELL'S opinions of tithes, nor even with
those on the Irish Reform Bill ; we deprecate
only the time chosen for promulgating them.
When new Peers have been created, and the
Ministers have found their strength ; when the
great question is placed beyond the power of the
Ultra faction, then will be Mr. O'CoNNELL's

time for action ; then may he justly declare the
grievances of Ireland, in the firm conviction that
they will be listened to and redressed by a liberal
Whig Administration. But to agitate now, is
after the true Irish fashion, to put the cart be-
fore the horse ; to begin at the wrong end ; to
bluster when repose is needed.

Brussels and German Papers have been re-
ceived this morning. The former infer that the
Emperor of RUSSIA has not withheld his ratifi-
cation to the Belgian Treaty, from the nega-
tive circumstance that the Dutch Journals
are silent on the subject. The German
Papers, on the other hand, say that
he has refused to ratify—and further, that hav-
ing now arrived at St. Petersburgh, NICHOLAS
is determined on paying particular attention to
Foreign Affairs, and settling the peace of Eu-
rope in his own way. Portugal is to be
taken under his especial protection, but a regret
is expressed at the difficulty of affording assist-
ance. It is considered unfortunate that the views of
France and England upon this subject do not
coincide with those of Russia. However, the
Autocrat is resolved to set all things to rights--
and Europe has only to hear and obey.

The following is a list of the arrivals in the
port of Antwerp for the last five years :—ln
1827, 831 ; in 1828, 955; in 1829, 1,031;
in 1830, 719 ; and in 1831, 398.

By way of America we have received Mexican Papers
to the 27th October. They state that the difficulty of
collecting the revenue from the Custom-house had led to
long debates in the Congress as to the propriety of extending
the time on the bonds, and that many were due to a large
amount, and which the exigencies of the Government re-
quire should he paid. The Secretary of the Treasury
stated in the Lower Chamber, on the 27th September,
that immense sums were due, and if longer credit was
allowed, the Treasury would be deprived of resources which
were indispensable. A proposition was read, authorizing
the Government to take effective measures for preventing
the introduction of the cholera into Mexico, which was
adopted by a proclamation, dated 3d October.
