- without the countless hives of industry spread over one-half
of the English counties, the price of land would not
amount to even one-half, of what it has been
for the last fifty years. In fact, no proposition can be more
clear and undisputed, than that the power of this small
island—small as compared with many continental States—
woulds be speedily annihilated but for the vast in-
fluence of its manufacturing industry, and the supply
which it furnishes to the numerous colonies. Landlords may
talk as long as they please about the importance of the landed
interest—they may represent it as the first—and demand
for it on that account the greatest protection at the hands of
the Legislature, but only a few of the incorrigible bigots,
who detest every improvement, and would, like madmen,
sweep manufactures from the soil of England, pay the
slightest attention to their one-sided views. Nearly all the
leading men of both parties, in both Houses of Parliament,
are fully convinced that the days of the sliding-
scale and exorbitant protection are numbered. i
Many of them believe that protection does only
mischief even to those for whose benefit the law was made.
These symptoms, within a few months, have been mani-
fested in no doubtful language, at various agricultural
meetings, and as a proof of the revolution which has taken
place, nearly all the speakers on the subject, who have at-
tracted public attention, have belonged to the old school,
that school which made it ene of its first principles to sup-
port the glorious corn-laws at all hazards. Captain Rous
breaks silence one day, Lord ASHLEY another, and Mr.
Escorr joins with the two Arcadians in denouncing the
present system as ruinous—nay, to use a French phrase—
" impossible," and warn their party that in a very brief period
the whole fabric must necessailry fall to pieces. When we look
to the Cabinet, the same phenomena are visible. Possi-
bly two or three of those who regard themselves as fathers of
the miserable abortion may wish to prolong the existence o
the ruinous impost for a time, but all the active, experienced,
and most able of the Members are fully convinced that no
party whatever in the State can ward off its destruc-
tion. Sir ROBERT PEEL'S saying, that "we ought to buy
in the cheapest market," is so evident to common sense, that
no practical minister can, or even dares, for a moment to
gainsay it. His free-trade principles, too, are well known,
and their effects have already been felt. He has compelled
the few remaining monopolists to yield to his policy as
regards cattle and a variety of agricultural produce. The
Canada Corn Bill was a grievous inroad upon the corn-laws;
it was supported too by one said not to be too favourably
disposed towards the Prime Minister, and should, from some
unknown cause, a rebellion rise up against him in the Ca-
binet, what could they do without him ? Could the
old Tory party govern the country for six months,
or, unless they roused up a foreign war, keep at the
helm? and even that would not be of much avail. The
House of Commons is not as it was in the days of yore,
when it was half filled by the nominees of the landlords, and
when the Minister of the day, if he only yielded to their
terms, might carry any measure. The great towns—the
marts of industry—are represented, and they will not lose
their trade nor throw away their money at the nod of any
Minister. In short, the merits of the question are settled,
and it remains only for the people to urge on
the Minister and his willing colleagues to do
their duty. The concluding remarks in Mr. COB-
DEN'S speech, a little abridged, are most appropriate at
the present moment :—" Let the opponents of monopoly in
every county in England obtain for themselves votes by the
outlay of 501., as had been done in South Lancashire. The
aristocracy would probably then give up the corn-law, lest
they might otherwise be compelled to give up a good deal
more. This was a paradise of a country for an aristocracy if
they only knew how to behave themselves, he would
not say as angels, but as decent, honest, rational men.
And yetP their aristocracy seemed disposed to risk all
the undisputed advantages which they securely possessed,
for the maintenance of that miserable tax upon bread,
which was of no benefit to them in the end, while it in-
flicted on the community at large incalculable injury. He
predicted that next session would bring on a crisis con-
nected with that question. There would be agitation at
head-quarters which would augur impending changes ; but
his advice to the people would be, not to mind who was in
or who was out of office, but to keep their eyes steadily
fixed on the corn-laws until they saw the question settled
at once and for ever. Let them, when the fitting time had
come, with one mighty effort level to the ground, with all
its crimes and all its painful associations, that fatal system,
and establish on its ruins national prosperity, peace, and
contentment."

If the old adage be true, that " quod Deus vult perdere,
priusquam dementat,” there is a certain section of the ministry
of the Church of England who must be a doomed and irre-
trievable race. Their infatuation being, in the language of
the pleadings of our Spiritual Courts, " true, public, and no-
torious," it should seem that their destiny is sealed— their
case hopeless. At a time like the present, when for the
sake of reviving obsolete and exploded ceremonials, or with
the avowed object of restoring in more essential particulars
the doctrine and preaching, as well as the discipline of the
Church of Rome, in the churches of the Protestant reformed
faith in this country, so many of our clergy of the Establish-
ment are parties to the creation of unseemly dissensions be-
tween themselves and their congregations, it is surely not ne-
cesmry to devise new subjects of heartburning and animosity on
the part of the laity against the ministers, who should be their
friends, their pastors, their examples. But it is not enough
that Puseyism should have shaken the stability of the Estab-
lishment to its foundations, convulsed its orthodoxy, diso--
ganised the unity of its teaching, and marred the majestic
simplicity of its worship. To these sad beginnings of "all
unchaiitableness"—to the mischievous working of such
institutions and claims as those connected with the collection
of tithe and the payment of church-rate—we are now to have
the superadded grievance of being subjected to all the intole-
rant bigotry of the Romish Church of the middle ages, touch-
ing its authority to permit or prohibit the interment of bodies
within consecrated ground ; admission to, or rejection from this
last melancholy offices of the ministry of our common faith
being determined by the fact of previous baptism, or no baptism.
Now it is obvious that deficiency of baptism, especially in
those who die in absolute infancy or early childhood, or
among the very poorest classes, even at a maturer age, may
be the result of sudden' uncontrollable accident in some
cases—of downright destitution and the absorbing claims
of present famishing penury in others. Far from the circum-
stances of death intervening without this rite having been
duly performed, inferring, as of necessity, that it had been
neglected out of any disregard for the sacraments, the ritual,
and the doctrine of our Church, or from any disparaging
opinion of the efficacy of this impressive and solemn cove-
nant, the very adult who dies without have been thus for-
mally:admitted into the community of Christendom may have
been, to the last moment of his life, the man of all others most
anxious to have participated in it. The child suddenly cut
off must, of course, be held to have been an irresponsible
agent in the matter; and on that very account the cruelty
of the attempt to punish its unconscious deficiency, as if it
had been a designed sin of omission, by refusing to its
remains the rites of Christian sepulture, becomes the more
intolerably oppressive, wanton, and absurd. In our morning
impression of yesterday we published a statement that, last
week at one of the churches in the city of Norwich, a curate,
officiating for the incumbent, refused to perform the burial
ceremony over the body of a child, in consequence of its not
having been fully baptised 1 After the body had been de-
tained in the church unburied, for two hours, the parish
clerk—more regardful, it should seem, of the first duties of a
Christian church than the rigourous vindication of its forms,
persuaded another clergyman—less solicitous of the
reputation of a bigoted priest, than of a sympathising
teacher of the humanity of the Gospel, to bury
the only " half-baptised" child with the usual forms—indif-
ferent, perhaps, in themselves, but dear to every Christian
from the force of the most tender of human affections, as well
as the most solemn of religious associations. In other parts
of the country, cursed with high-flying Churchmen of the
same inflexible severity of rule as this obscure parson of St.
Saviour's, Norwich, we have seen ministers of the Establish-
ment refusing to bury the bodies of Protestant Dissenters.
Even when the law courts have been invoked, and have
ruled against the powers of exclusion thus assumed by these
pharisaical formalists, or the diocesan has pointedly remon-
strated with the incumbent against the overstraining of these
invidious distinctions, distinctions still more invidious have
been adopted in evading the spirit of the decree of the
ecclesiastical jurisdiction or the rebuke of the bishop. The
churchyard has been ostentatiously divided : the Dissenters
being committed to keep company together in one portion of the
burial-ground—the orthodox Churchmen in another. Than
this sort of arrogant assumptions of superior sanctity, privi-
leges, claims, and recognitions, as between the miserable relics
of our mortal existence, committed to that common earth, to
the corruption and obscurity of which the dust f emperors,
and kings, and peasants, mitred prelates, and the humblest
of apostolic missionaries and teachers, is alike destined to be
returned; we can imagine nothing more profane—nothing
more congenial to the gross materialism of heathen

_
theology-. It may be very shocking to the pride of
a few beneficed parsons to contemplate the possibility

of their being laid side by side in the tomb with
some Gospel teachers, " whom nobody knew," and who

wore in life black gait "r. or corduroy inexpressibles, instead

of mere canonicalhabilinlents. But we are confident that

the great majority of our a4I:U are far above the vanity as
well as the impiety of such pi:et ensions. Nothing could be

in the 171eanwhileY
more accurately adapted, in to keep alive the
discontent and reprobation of the 2/lily of the Established
Church, so naturally excited througli'ogt Protestant Britain
by the disgraceful scandal of the M.:4Kyite innovations,
affected by some of its ministers, than a rig;►Ur of caste and
a vindictiveness of ritual (we know not how ei4 to term such
offences) which prompts gentlemen of the Norwii.l curate's
" truthfulness" (as the Bishop of EXETER terms this 6Q-vt of
contumacy in his parsons), to manifestations of contempt Or
anger for doctrinal opinions, and even ceremonial omissions'
of a purely accidental nature, that extend beyond the
grave itself. We think the Bishop of Nonwlcti will do well
to notice the conduct of this Norwich curate (as we presume
the Mr. BECKWITH referred to to be)—ikoffering such needless
violence to the feelings of a bereaved parent, on the prepos-
terous plea that the child hal been but half-baptised—with
wholesome and severe animadversion. Such exhibitions o
bigotry and bad taste cannot be tolerated in an age so en-
lighted
as our own..

The articlei in the Paris papers relate-chiefly to the settle=
ment of the differences with the Ottomp Porte, the retire-
ment of SoULT from the Ministry of War, and the dispatches
of General BIJGRAUD describing his late razzias. The chief

Government journal regards the concessions made by th '
Turkish Government as important in their character, and
showing, at the same time, the firmness of the GUIZOT Ca-
binet. It seems to admit that the Baron DE BoURQUENEY
had to carry on the contest alone at Constantinople—that he
received no co-operation whatever from the representatives of
the other powers ; and, therefore, it assigns to the conces-
sions of the Porte an importance for France which would have
been much lessened if they had been made on the joint ap-
plication of the Ambassadors of the five powers. We know
not yet what the real facts of the case were, but it appears
that the French Consul was the only person, in the first in-
stance, who protested against the order of the Turkish
Commissioner in Syria for the expulsion of the Europeans,
and the Journal des Debats mentions this as a proof of
the exercise of a right of protection in Syria by
France having been tacitly recognised by the other great
powers. The other powers, we think, will admit no such
conclusion as regards only one power. In reference to the
appointment of General ST. YON to the situation vacated by
Marshal SOULT, the Constitutionnel says, it is but a despicable
appointment, and for two reasons :—" In the first place, the
Cabinet applied, before it thought of M. DE SAINT Yon, to
several generals, peers of France, or deputies, in a position to
hold the vacant portfolio. M. DE SAINT Mx was for his
present colleagues only apis-aller. It was even compelled to
make of the new Minister a peer of France, as there was no
member of either Chamber who would allow himself to be
made Minister. It will next be remarked, that the former
director of military operations has his share of responsibility
in the affairs of Africa. M. DE SAnrr Yon becomes Minister,
therefore, under sad auspices, at the moment when the Go-
vernment, by a culpable neglect of fifteen months, has com-
promised the repose of the whole of Algeria." The dispatch
of Marshal BUGEAUD adds but little to the previous intel-
ligence, but he expresses a hope that the insurrection will
not extend to the province of Algiers, and will be circum-
scribed in that of Oran. We here subjoin an outline of it,
It is dated the 28th of Oct., at the Bivouac de Cherita, four
leagues east of Tiarel.
" The preparatory movement and ambuscade of my cavalry in
the night of the 24th could not be rendered of any service. On
arriving at Turkeria I learnt that the hostile tribes had moved
themselves seven or eight leagues further off towards the south,
near the chain of the Nader. I again decided upon trying a pre-
paratory step, and with this otject I gave General Jussuf the com.
mand of two battalions of infantry, whose knapsacks and baggage
were carried by 150 mules. This light column arrived before day-
break at Feddeul, where it concealed itself in a ravine during the
whole of the 26th. At half-past five in the evening this small
troop again moved on, directed by our Bach Aga, Ameur Ben
Ferhat, but the enemy was still sixteen or seventeen leagues off.
It was feared that the cavalry could not reach the spot before
broad day, and that the infantry would be able to give only a
tardy support. This, however, was not the case, At dawn
our horses were quite close to numerous Douars of the Ouled
Krelifs, and the Beni }Ludas,. These were the tribes of the
two faithless Ages, El Karoubi and Bachti. The dispositions
for the attack were soon made. The Spahis, commanded by Cap-
tain Jauzen, were to surround the enemy on the left; Chef-d'Es-
cadron Rivet, my orderly officer, commanding all the goums, ex-
ecuted the aame maw:mere on the right; and Colonel Richepanse,
with two squadrons of chasseurs :and a strong platoon of gendar.
merie, was to attack the centre. These different movements were
executed with complete success. Routed on every point, they
took to flight, leaving on the ground 300 men killed. The pursuit
continued for three leagues. At last, the horses being hard worked
and out of wind, it was deemed advisable to stop, and give them
some repose, and afterwards return to the encampment of the
Arabs to collect the cattle that remained behind. This vigourous
and rapid coup de main, joined to the success which General La-
moriciere has obtained over the Kabyles between rafna and
Djemma Ghazaouat, cannot fail to exercise a great and happy in-
fluence on our affairs. I can at present give you the hope that the
insurrection will not advance in the province of Algiers, that it
will be circumscribed in the province of Oran, and that it will
every day lose ground in the East and West."
The following summary of the movements made by the
MAnsiiaL since his arrival appears in the Journal des Debats,
and we give it as the most favourable view taken of the state
of affairs by the Government, but still there is nothing to
boast of. After describing the rencontre mentioned in the
above dispatch, the writer adds :
"The result of this razzia was a loss on the part of the enemy of
300 men killed, the capture of 10,000 sheep, 1,000 oxen, and 150
camels. We, moreover, made 150 prisoners, chiefly women and
children. The tribes attacked were Benimada, the Ouhd-Bessen,
and the Ouhd-Krelif. At their head was one of the Aghas, called
by us Be-Khety, whom we formerly captured and sent to Milianah,
whence he made his escape at the commencement of the insurrec-
tion. He lost in this affair the whole of his treasury. The booty
taken besides by our horsemen of the goums and our Arabs is con.
siderable. The news which the Governor-General received from
the subdivision of Orleansville obliged him to return to Ain.Toukeria,
to scour the mountains of the Ouarensenis,where Bou.Maza,taking
advantage of the temporary absenceof troops in that part of the pro-
vince of Algiers, which are at present employed upon the Mina, Is
labouring to excite the population to revolt, The agitation was
commenced in the first instance by the assassination of Si Mo-
hamed, one of our most faithful and capable Aghas; he was mur-
dered in the market of the Shiah at the moment when he was ad-
ministering justice. A column, under the orders of General Gen-
til, is about to start from Algiers to go to the east to contiuue the
works of the defile of Aicha, and at the same time watch the
country. We will, moreover, add that the late rains will enable
the Arabs to recommence their labours, and will render them less
accessible to the predictions of the appointed of the Almighty.
With respect to Abd-el.Kader, according to the reports of the
Arabs, he was with his Khalija, Bon-Hamedi, overrunning the
circle of Tlemcen, emptying the Silos and compelling the
tribes to move into the interior of Morocco. This driv-
ing of the populations into Morocco, in creating an
army for the Emir, will he the means of giving us no slight
trouble when the time arrives for us to follow the Emir into that
country. Their sojourn, however, ought sooner or later to cause
collisions with the tribes of Morocco, which will at first receive
them for the cause of Islamism, but which may probably end by
their no longer patiently submitting to the usurpation of their
territories by those strangers. In the east of our possessions the
insurrections of the Djebel-Dira and the Ouenrougha are brought
to a close. The counterfeit Beu.Maza, after compromising the
populations, found himself obliged to retire to the mountains of
the Jurgura, where the Kabyles, so far from following him, turn
him into ridicule. The column of the Setif, under the command
of General Bedeau, which is operating on that side, will commence,
no doubt, by putting down the insurrection as soon as possible, In
order to secure our communications with Constantine, and destroy
the focus of all the insurrections."
The Esprit Public says :—" It is reported that the Directors
of the Bank of France had met to deliberate on the present po-
sition of the money market, and to decide if it were necessary to
lessen its discounts and raise the rate of interest. It appears
certain that a meeting was heid for this purpose, and that strong
measures were supported by some of the heads of the bank; but
the majority were of a different opinion, and it was finally agreed
that at present the rate of discount should not he augmented.
However, Count d'Argout proceeded to the Minister of Finance,
and represented to him that, in the state of crisis in which the
market is at present placed, it was indispensable to come to a de.
termination as soon as possible relative to the lines of Paris to
Lyons and of Lyons to Avignon."
The Duke de Montfort, ex-King of Westphalia, has written a
letter, dated " Florence, Oct. 29," to his friend, M. Vatry, Deputy,
requesting him to contradict the reports that have lately appeared
in the French journals, relative to the health of his eldest son.
The report of the young Prince having been affected with mental
alienation is declared to be a perfect fable. His malady, the letter
states, was an affection of the spine, which the baths of Aix-la-.
Chapelle has almost removed. His uncle, the Duke de Wurtem-
berg, had given him leave of absence to pass some time in a warmer
climate, but he was still at Stuttgardt, waiting for the marriage of
his cousin, the Princess Catherine of Wurtemburg.
The stock and share market on the Paris Bourse opened
very firm on Wednesday, and continued so to the close. The
Three and Five per Cents. had risen 20c. each, and nearly all
the railways had advanced. The Northern had risen
about 10f.
