THE SUN, LONDON, TI!ESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 23, 1844.

plump Jack's" bread bore to his sack, the vigour of
the public demonstrations made by the Monopolists
bear to that which is exhibited by the League.
" Look on this picture, and on this." In
the one case we have a set of men meet-
ing under the avowed influence of fear and des-
peration, not in large, imposing masses, but in a snug,
small family-party sort of manner ; animated by no
better feeling than a scrupulous regard for the interests
of their breeches-pockets; mistaking stolid prejudice
for enlightened conviction, and making abuse do the
duty of argument—in the other case, we have a vast
and hourly-increasing confederacy, united in the
itrictest bonds of a common necessity ; impressed
with an earnest and conscientious feeling of the
justice of their cause ; full of energy, resolution, and
activity ; familiar with every point of the great
question which they discuss, and able to track it
through all its ramifications ; wielding the weapons of
impassioned eloquence and matter-of-fact reasoning
with equal readiness ; and, above all, prompted to inces-
iant exertion by a well-grounded confidence in their ul-
timate and triumphant success. In the case of the mo-
nopolists, we sec—notwithstanding their frequent ex-
iortations on the subject—subscriptions trickling
forth in a petty, shallow, languid stream ; in the case
of the League, we see them rolling onward in a full,
broad, deep, and rapid channel. The monopolists
remind us of the setting sun, sinking after a stormy
lay in cloud and gloom ; the League reminds us of
the same luminary rising brilliant and unclouded
in the East, exhibiting every promise of a serene
meridian, and " rejoicing, like a giant to run its
course." To descend to the language of plain prose,
the day of monopoly—and Heaven knows it has had
a long enough day !—is fast passing away, and, like
the duration of FAUSTUS' life, must henceforth be
reckoned by minutes; that of free-trade, on the con-
trary, is yet to come, and by' the brightness of its
dawn we may guess what will be its meridian. There
is not a single public meeting held by the League—
no matter whether in an agricultural or commercial
district—that does not give fresh assurance of its
eventual triumph. Is a large subscription, called for ?
It is immediately forthcoming, as though it pro-
ceeded from the inexhaustible purse of FORTUNATUS.
fs an impassioned appeal or a matter-of-fact argument
required ? Mr. BRIGHT is ever at hand to furnish the
one, and Mr. COBDEN the other. In Scotland as well
as in England, the members of the League are re-
ceived everywhere with open arms, and not a day passes
hut they can number their recruits by scores. Would
this be the case, if they were a mere selfish faction—if
they had not the vast majority of the industrious classes
on their side ? The best proof that the League is a
national necessity, is its rapidly extending influence,
and by the growth of this influence we may estimate
the pressure of the necessity. Justly remarked Mr.
GinsoN, at the great free-trade meeting held on Fri-
day last at Manchester—" We were told that manu-
facturers and commercial men had adopted the prin-
ciples of the League because it happened that at that
particular time there was embarrassment in their af-
fairs, there were difficulties in trade, there was de-
pression. But is it so ? Do we find that with changes
in trade, with a partial revival of commercial affairs,
with a falling price in agricultural produce, this agi-
tation has lost ground ? No. Do we not see the
League meetings as enthusiastic assemblies as ever ?
And why do we see this ? Because the great body
of the commercial community of this country see the
question in its true light." This is regarding the
matter in a proper view; and in these few significant
words, we have the true secret of the success of the
Anti-Corn-law League. It prospers, because its ex-
istence is necessary to the best interests of the com-
munity ; but the instant it ceases to represent those
interests, it will sink, like the agitation of the mono-
polists, into mere insignificance.

When, in the memorable year 1829, Sir ROBERT
PEEL brought forward the question of Catholic Eman-
cipation, he expressly stated—and laid great stress on
the declaration—that it was his intention to carry it
out in a spirit of the most perfect good faith, and to
render it as complete and comprehensive as possible.
Henceforth, he said, the Catholics should have no
cause to complain that they were not put on the
same level with the Protestants; the equality be-
tween the two professions should not be merely a
nominal one, but an actual living reality, for the
Relief Bill was one of wholesale conciliation, con-
ceived in a kindly, equitable spirit, and intended to
heal the wounds and redress the wrongs of ages,
Fifteen years have passed since this magnanimous de-
claration was made, and what has been the conduct—
we say nothing of the professions—of him who made
it ? Did he, pursuant to his promise, co-operate with
the MELBOURNE Ministry in their well-meant endea-
vours to legislate for Ireland in accordance with the
just and tolerant principles of the Relief Bill ? Did
he further the progress of the Municipal Reform mea-
sure, whose avowed object was to give the Catholics
such increased privileges as they had every right to
expect at the hands of him who struck the fetters
from their limbs, and told them that henceforth there
should be no distinction between them and their
Protestant brethren ? Did he uphold the tolerant
Government of Lords NoBIeANBY and FORTESCUE,
which for the first time held the balance even
between the Catholics and the Orangemen, and
conciliated all classes of the former, by im-
pressing them with the conviction that at length
something like justice was done them ? Did Sir Ro-
BERT PEEL act in this liberal and enlightened spirit,
for which he took such praise to himself in the year
1829 ? Far otherwise. In order to assist the views
of his party, and throw obstacles in the way of the
Whigs, he fairly " turned his back on himself"—to
quote Lord CASTLEREAGR'S bright metaphor—and
laboured hard to make a mere dead letter of that great
remedial measure which, when he brought it for-
ward, he promised should be an active, living prin-
ciple. Even since he has become Premier, and has
been furnished with abundant means of legislating for
Ireland in the equitable spirit of the Relief Bill, he
has pursued his old, specious, and one-sided course of
policy, giving nought but smooth words to the
Catholics, while he has reserved the substantial
rewards for the Tory Protestants. As if this were
not sufficiently galling, his Irish Executive—for
whose actions he is of course responsible, as the in-
dividual who entrusted them with authority—have
just shown the sister-country in what utter disregard
they hold the spirit of the Emancipation Bill, by
striking off, without a why or a wherefore, every
single Catholic who was on the list of the jury ap-
pointed to try the present State prosecutions. No
wonder that all the members of this persuasion, from
the peer to the peasant, are indignant at such a gross
insult, which indirectly implies that they:are not to be
trusted on their oaths, but will return a verdict in
brazen defiance of evidence ! The proceedings of the
Attorney-General in this case are, to all intents and
purposes, a practical repeal of one of the most
valuable rights intended to be secured by the great
measure of Emancipation ; and we are delighted,
therefore, to find that the aggrieved Catholics intend
to petition the QUEEN on the subject, and also to
bring it fully under the notice of Parliament. Al-
luding to this important matter, Mr. O'CONNELL ob-
serves, in a recent letter to Mr. CREAN, that it should
be agitated distinctly and separately, without the
slightest reference to the question of Repeal. " Re-
peal," he adds, " should not, if possible, even be
mentioned at any of the meetings held for the pur-
pose of petitioning to have the Emancipation Act
rendered perfect. There are many Catholics, non-re-
pealers or anti-repealers, who feel with us the absolute
necessity of a better protection for their lives, liberties,
and properties. Let us then cheerfully follow, assist,
and support these persons ; and I trust that every per-
son in Ireland will, as speedily as may be convenient,
send petitions to Parliament, and an address to the
QUEEN, praying for relief and protection." We cor-
dially subscribe to every word of this advice, for the
agitation which it recommends is a just and neces•
sary one, and, unconnected as it is with Repeal, de-
serves to be strenuously supported by every thinking
and liberal man in Ireland. Mr. O'CONNELL is here
treading on firm ground, and advocates nothing but
what common sense approves, the Constitution allows,

and Ministers are bound to concede. We say, there-
fore, with the Hon. and Learned Gentleman, by all

means let the agitation for perfecting the Relief Act
be carried on in a bold, unflinching, and persevering
spirit; and let the QUEEN he made fully acquainted,
with as little delay as possible, with the feelings of
her aggrieved Catholic subjects in Ireland.

We have received Madrid papers of the rith inst..

city to Queen CHRISTINA, praying that her MAJESTY

been appointed Intendant of the Philippine Islands.
The Three per Cents. were (loft at 26i at 60 days,
and the Five per Cents. at 19i at 60 days.

The Paris papers are almost entirely occupied
with the interesting discussion which took place in
the Chamber of Deputies on Saturday, and with com-
ments on the speech made by M. GUIZOT on the
It was one of the main speeches of the
session, and displayed much frankness and ability,
on every topic connected with the foreign
of the country, and dwelling at considerable
policytlength i
on the peaceful relations between England
and France. As regarded Greece and Spain the two
countries had a perfect understanding. The French
Cabinet, on learning the peaceable revolution which
had taken place at Athens immediately, without con-
sulting the English Cabinet, sent instructions to the
French Minister at the Court of Greece to recognise
the new order of things. England adopted the same
course, and the two countries were in harmonious
union, though Russia took a widely different view of
the same facts. He then adverted to the charge
brought against the Government for allowing an
English Consul to reside at Algiers without
having obtained an c.requatur from France, and
defended the course pursued, on the ground that
the Porte had not recognised the sovereignty of
France in that part of Africa, and certain Powers
who maintained friendly relations with the SULTAN
had observed a strict neutrality on the question.
France, he said, under similar circumstances, would
probably have done the same. After pointing out the
harmony which prevailed between these two great
nations, in reference to the possessions of France
in the Pacific, the independence of the Sandwich
Islands, and other questions of general policy,
he concluded by making an eloquent appeal to the
early fruits of the new alliance, and to the gratifying
visit of Queen VICTORIA to the Court of France.
" It is rare," said he, " that Providence allows the
friendly policy of to gather so quickly its fruits.
It is very rare indeed that those who have sowed have
been destined to reap, and I hesitate not to say, with
pride, that the fruits of that policy which I have
described are already manifest and undoubted,
not only by us but the world. We wished
a real and sincere peace. We conceived,
and it was likewise conceived in London, that there
was room in the world for our two independent and
national policies, provided they should be kept
within the bounds of justice and good sense. Both
Cabinets, to their honour, as well as to the advantage
of their respective countries, have commenced and
inaugurated that policy of real and sincere peace—a
policy both novel and difficult, but nevertheless the
only good and honourable policy—which, although
prudent and moderate, is not divested of grandeur,
and which for being honest is not the less useful.
This is what we call the cordial understanding'
between the two Governments. I will not dwell on
facts purely personal, which were alluded to yester-
day with so much disdain ;—I will not speak of that
mark of friendship given by a young and charming
Queen to our King, our Government, and our revo-
lution ;—I will not speak of the fact which followed
that visit—the treatment experienced by the Duke
DE BORDEAUX—who was not received in London by
the Sovereign who had come to France to meet our
King. These are striking facts, which have pro-
duced in Europe a deep impression on Kings and
nations—facts, which have everywhere been justly
appreciated, and which have occupied the imagina-
tions and conversations of all Europe. I leave them
aside, however serious they are in reality." These
remarks were received with loud approbation, and the
Chamber adjourned.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)
On Mr. Maltby, the presiding magistrate, taking his
seat on the bench this morning, Mr. Clements, the chief
officer, handed to him nine letters, addressed to the sitting
magistrates of this Court, all of which had been re-
ceived by post, or otherwise, since yesterday.
Mr. MALTBY said there was no doubt they contained
contributions for the poor box, but he should not open
them until he bad communicated with his colleague, Mr.
Hardwick, on the subject, as ho felt quite con-
vinced that great evil was arising from the
distribution of alms from that Court, in the
way it had been done for some time past. The
office was daily beset with shoals of applicants for relief,
and the numbers were daily increased ; 51. per day were
given away, but it would require 100/. to relieve all that
applied ; it was also producing a very bad system in the
neighbourhood, many persons neglected their work to
apply for relief, and others resorted to deceit and fraud
to obtain it. Upwards of thirty donations were received
yesterday.
Mr. Fitzpatrick said that the practice, if persevered in,
would bring upon them the whole of the vagrants in the
parishes comprising the district of the Court ; for they
began to think they had an actual right to claim relief
from the poor-box. It was originally intended for 4lie
succour of deserving objects in sudden exigency of dis-
tress, and not for permanent relief.
The chief officer said, that for many days past the
mothers of families, and others, were loitering about the
Court during the day, taking the chance of being re-
lieved. When one obtained it she directly sent another,
and so the continued applications were kept up from day
to day ; they were also acquiring habits of idleness and
drinking.
Mr. MALTBY said some steps should be taken in the
matter, and the conversation dropped.

SUMMARY OF NEWS

" Who runs may read."

FOREIGN.
On Saturday evening the King of the French had
a very large party to dinner, and seemed in good
health.
Rumours of a change of Ministry were prevalent
in Pori's, on the supposition thzt M. Billault's amend-
ment relative to the phrase " entente cordiale" would
be carried. The Courrier Francais gives the follow-
ing list of names that would probably form the new
Ministry :—Count Mole, President of the Council
and Minister for Foreign Affairs; M. Billault, Inte-
rior ; M. Dufaure, Justice ; 11. Passy, Finance ; Mar-
shal Valee, War; Du Came, Religion; Admiral
Bergeret, Marine ; Cousin, Public instruction ; Gouin,
Public Works ; Salvandy or Bignon, Commerce. The
Ministry, however, have no fear of such a result.
At Tortoni's on Sunday the Three per Cents, were
quoted 82f. WC.
The Presse states that on the 30th of November
last the French ship of war Coquette brought to Rio
Janeiro the draught of a convention concerted be-
tween England, France, and the Brazils, for the pur.
pose of putting .an end to the war in La Plata.
The Journal of Havre says that Admiral Hamblin
is to replace M. Dupetit Thouars in the command of
the French naval force in the Pacific.
The _lmpartial of the Rhine has the following:
_ _

" Positive news of the death of his Royal Highness
the Duke d'Angouleme has directly reached Stras-
burgh from Goritz, This event was expected. Symp-
toms which left no doubt as to his approaching end
had manifested themselves a short time before in the
state of the Prince's health."
The election of M. Charles Laffitte at Louviers was
annulled, owing to his having engaged to procure his
constituents, in return for their patronage, a branch
railway from their town to the Paris and Rouen line.
Puna.= OPINION.
The Times observes, in an article on the Irish State
trials :—" The present disaffection throughout Ireland
is, we believe, most conscientiously, a fabric, not a
natural production. There was nothing like it fifteen
years ago, before the Roman Catholic Relief Bill.
There was nothing like it before the reform in Parlia-
ment, or betbre the Corporate Reform. Where dis-
content, therefore, and grievance do not maintain
their relative proportions, but when one swells as the
other diminishes, it is too much to lay down as an
unvarying principle that the Government must be
exclusively to blame. At all events a transfer of
Government to the Whigs would be but to encourage
voluminous, and practised, and long-detected little-
ness. As a party they have not one atom of bold or
national feeling. They are a coterie of empirics.
They would sacrifice O'Connell to-morrow if they
could exist without him. But being, as lie is, their
patron saint, they are content to sacrifice the empire.
They play into his hands and repeal the union by a
separation of the spoil—the English patronage for
themselves, the whole of Ireland for O'Connell.
Against this precious prospect, it behoves the Minis-
ters, if they have wisdom and courage worthy of
their office, promptly and at once to interpose."
The Herald says :—" The spirited movement that
has recently commenced in opposition to the Anti-
Corn-law League, seems to have taken the Leaguers
so completely by surprise that they hardly know how
they ought to speak of it. The first impulse of the
free-trade journalists was to sneer at the notion of a
successful move been made by those who have con-
tinued so long inactive. The reluctance hitherto
shown by the classes interested in agriculture to enter
into a contest with the League, fully warrants the in-
ference that they will be as slow to abandon the task
they have commenced, as they were deliberate in un-
dertaking it. It is in the nature of Englishmen to
evince a sluggishness amounting 'almost to apathy on
public questions in which their own interests are
more or less remotely involved, but when they have
once made up their minds to act they are not easily
deterred from the pursuit of their object. The per-
sons engaged in British agriculture are likely to be
more essentially British in their habits and feelings
than those whose views on free trade cause them to
yearn with liberality and sympathy towards every
country—except, perhaps, their own. When, there-
fore, we see English landlord:, farmers, and agricul-
tural labourers united at last for their own protec-
tion, we have every reason to believe that they will go
on steadily and stubbornly towards the accomplish-
ment of their purpose."
The Chronicle, speaking of the Irish State trials,
says :—" It was supposed that the case for the Crown,
which has yet made very little way, would occupy
another week. None of the newspaper publications
have yet been tendered as evidence. We may take
this opportunity of briefly adverting to the unfair
end discreditable course pursued by some of the
journals for the prosecution. The Standard continues
to give garbled extracts of the evidence, and to abuse
the counsel for the traversers, simply because they
discharge their duty to their clients. The Times,
affecting indignation at an expression which appeared
in this journal before the jury was even sworn, and,
using this as a pretext, throws out a plain intimation
that when the verdict is returned, the Judges will
pass sentence, and her Majesty's advisers will execute
it. We have hitherto refrained from offering any
remarks either upon the speech of the Attorney-Gene-
ral, or upon the evidence as yet brought forward, not-
withstanding the tempting materials for commentary
with which they abound.'
The following is from the Advertiser :—" It is time
that commercial principles come into operation the
exact opposite in character of those which have so
long maintained over the world a baneful influence.
It is preposterous to cry up the advantage, or for
England to wait for reciprocity treaties. With what
countries is it our trade has decreased—with those
who have levelled hostile tariffs against us, or with
those against whom we have shown an inimical front ?
With the latter, as may be proved on statistical
data. It is not with France, nor Prussia, nor Russia,
that our commerce has so lamentably fallen off, but
with Brazil and the United States. It is for this
country to misunderstand its own interests, to assume
that foreign countries lose and itself profits by pro-
hibitory enactments against foreign produce. It can
never be too often impressed that it is by what na-
tions bring home to their own shores they are en-
riched—not by what they rid themselves of. It is
when Manchester, for example, has exchanged her
eotton wares for the tea of China, the sugar of Brazil,
the wheat of America, that she has reaped the fruit of
her toil ; and so with the other parts of the United
Kingdom."

LAW AND POLICE.

On Monday an inquest was held at Hendon, before
Mr. Wakley, on the body of Mr. Ilalten, a farmer,
who died from injuries received through his gig having
been upset by an omnibus. The circumstances have
been detailed under the head of Marylebone Police
Court. The jury returned a verdict of manslaughter
against Gilbert, the driver of the omnibus.
At the Eton Petty Sessions, on the 22d, two men,
named Edmund Langley and Alfred Amsden, the
former keeping a petty chandler's shop at Langley
Broom, between Slough and Colnbrook, and the other
a shoemaker, lodging in the same house, which was
rented by Langley of a person named I)ewley, were
committed to take their trial for arson.

At Guildhall, Henry Harris, the driver of Thum-
wood's Windsor waggon, was fined 20s. for driving
two horses unfit for work from sores.

James Brown, the begging impostor, said in the
Clerkenwell Police Report to have been remanded,
was committed to the House of Correction for one
month, with hard labour.

At Lambeth-street, William Gulleck, a ruffianly•
I,)oking person, was charged with committing a violen
assault on a laundress, named Turner, and her hus

band. The complainants having declined tosprose-
cute, Mr. henry convicted the prisoner in two penal-
ties of 51. each; or two months' imprisonment.
Three coal-porters, named Thomas Swaine, Richard
Donnelly, alias Coffee Joe, and John Symons, were
brought before Mr. Broderip, and severally charged
with assaulting James Terry, Joseph Key, and others,
under very aggravated circumstances. The prisoners
in their defence, said they had been engaged by Mr.
Wright, coal-merchant, Ratcliffe-cross, and on pro-
ceeding to the wharf they found others were engaged,
who agreed to do the work at a lower price, and that
exasperated them. Mr. Broderip sentenced Swaiue
and Symons to pay a fine of 51. each, or be imprisoned
for two months, and Donnelly to pay 31., or in default
to be committed for six weeks.

Messenger, accused of the murder of Gadesby, un-
derwent another private examination before the Lei-
cestershire magistrates, on Saturday, and was agair.
remanded till Wednesday.
