SUPPLEMENT TO THE EVENING SUN, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1845,

serenity of his mind, or make him forget for one mo-
ment that he had only one paramount duty to perform
—to march straight forward, regardless of all interrup-
tions, to the goal so ardently desired by nine-tenths of
the population. Neither the taunts and unfounded
statements of JOHN WILSON CROKER, nor the bois-
terous and frensied declamations of Sir CHARLES
WETHERELL, nor the cautious, deep, calm, insidious, and
plausible policy of Sir ROBERT PEEL, turned him from his
purpose. Perhaps in no period of Parliamentary
history have we such instances of excited orators,
reckless declaimers, and treasonable plotters, as
during the lengthened discussions on the Reform
Bill. If ALTHORP was not personally attacked,
all his colleagues were—charges were brought against
the Ministry, as if they had taken advantage of the
linm's peculiarity of mind, and purposely, for their own
selfish interests, roused to madness a nation, that but for
their wicked instigations would have been satisfied with
the smallest possible measure of reform. When these
and more grievous charges were made night after night,
and aggravated at every repetition, hopes were enter-
tained that even this prudent leader would become dis-
concerted and thrown off his guard. Never were hopes
so completely falsified, for when the opposing body ex-
pected some outbreak from STANLEY or GRAHAM, or
the more irritable of the party, ALTHORP anticipated
them, rose with his usual calm demeanour, and after a
brief and civil reply to any objections urged, proceeded
in the quiet tenour of his way, and moved the adoption
of the next clause. When he was at last found impreg-
nable, they resigned themselves to their fate, and con-
soled themselves with the reflection embodied in a phrase
of their own coining, that " ALTHORP'S d—d good
nature did it all." There were some clauses in the Bill,
however, of an objectionable character, which he either
opposed too meekly or gave up without opposition,
among others the Chandos clause, or, more properly
speaking, the Sibthorp clause, for Colonel SIB -
THORP first brought it forward. The Marquis of
CHANDOS had as much claim to it as AMERICUS ITES-
PUCCIUS had to the discovery of the New World. If
ALTHORP consented to that mischievous amendment, it
cannot be denied that he was in good company. Mr.
HUME, and many others of the Liberals, approved of
it; it was not resisted with any courage by the press, and
many well-meaning people believed that it was desir-
able that the suffrage should be extended as widely as
possible, without suspecting for a moment that the Tory
landlords would make such a tyrannical use of their
power. When the Reform Parliament assembled Earl
GREY, timidly afraid of the work of his own hands, did
everything i❑ his power to check the popular impulse,
and during the rest of his Premiership thought more
of controlling and curbing the Commons than using the
vast power which they possessed for reforming the
Church, reforming the law, cutting down useless expen-
diture, and rendering justice to the long-oppressed
Irish. In all these great faults, we are to presume that
Lord ALTHORP concurred, for he retained his seat in the
Cabinet till the death of his father removed him to the
House of Peers. But ALTHORP was not fitted for a
great leader ; he neither bad the daring nor the ori-
ginal views suited to such a character—he could fight
well under a chief—he made an excellent general of a
division—and as a proof of his great merit in this re-
spect, the country at large owe more gratitude to
him than to the whole cabinet together. We have dwelt
at this length on the part he took in reforming the
Commons House of Parliament, because it forms the
main feature of his political life, and will be remem-
bered when all his other labours, either as a statesman
or an agriculturist, are forgotten. In his last character
he some years ago gave great offence to the agricultural
body, by advocating the principles of free trade, and
consequently the reduction or abolition of the corn-laws.
But that was only another proof of his honourable and
independent conduct, and such respect was attached to
his name that the offence was speedily forgotten. In
modern times it would be difficult to find a public man
so free from reproach, or so universally beloved—.
" Bonum virum facile crederes, magnum libenter."

Among the many items of intelligence which give to
the last extraordinary express intelligence from India
and China an unusual degree of interest, and of poli-
tical importance, we have only time, to-day, to notice
the very strong rumours which they advert to of Russian
ifilrigue being once more at work, in Persia, against
British supremacy in India. It can hardly be necessary
to direct the vigilant attention of our readers to any in-
timations of this kind applying to such quarters.
The very remarkable and hitherto wholly unexplained pro
ceedings of the Russian agent at Herat, in exciting the
Arab and Seikh soldiery to the several attacks and
demonstrations against that fortress, which were so
gallantly; defeated by the late Major, then Lieutenant
POTTINGER, sufficiently detected a sinister community
of purposes in the secret councils of Russia and of
Persia. Nor is the significance of the presumption
weakened either by the manifest conclusion, that in any
case Russia is acting by Persia as her unresisting and
convenient tool, nor yet by the ostensible disavowal by
the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh of the acts of their
agent in Herat. The fact of that unhappy man's
having laid violent
,hands upon himself on the night
preceding the day, or on the very morning in which
he had been summoned to appear before an Imperial
Council, will in no way weaken the inferences which
establish the fact of this compacted intrigue. They
who have been at the trouble of informing themselves
upon the morals and the measures of Russian diplomacy,
will easily understand how the Imperial Agent may have
been justified in anticipating the treacherous disclaimer
of his employers. Neither the mutual confidence, nor
the feeling of honour, which in the business of other
Cabinets renders confidential instructions binding on
both parties, the issuer and the recipient, is a plant that
grows on the banks of the Neva. The agent, doubtless,
too clearly foresaw the cruel doom that the failure of
his mission would entail upon him, and which, therefore,
his own hand anticipated. Certain it is, that the
British Legislature and people have never been favoured
with the sight of any official disavowal, on the part of the
Russian Government, of at least a guilty knowledge of
this man's attempts and cabals against our flag at Herat.
But we now learn that at that same Herat, between the
agents of the Schah of PERSIA, and YAR MOHAMMED,
the usurper, intrigues have been long carried on, founded
upon representations of the overwhelming influence of
Russia in the Persian Councils, and allegations of a
peace for thirty years having been concluded between
the two Powers, of which a main condition is said to be—
that Russia shall assist the Government of the latter
"in overcoming all its enemies in Central Asia."
With her usual disinterestedness, Russia, it is reported,
stipulates, as the price of her active alliance, for one-half
of the conquests which may be made by the arms of
Persia; and the reigning SCIIAH, with his usual infatua-
tion, is said to have acceded to these terms. In all this
there is quite enough to justify—nay, to demand—the

time the
our
cabal must be rigorously watched. Explanations must
be demanded in a tone to admit of no paltering or eva-
sion; and it is high time that Russian duplicity should
succumb, despite itself, to the plain speaking of British
honour. If the charges be unfounded; Russia will have
no right to complain of being called on for a categorical
and distinct disavowal of them, after the unremoved
presumptions against her good faith, left by the former
transactions at Herat. If the charges have any founda-
tion at all, the sooner the acknowledgment is exacted
from the Russian Government the better. The sooner,
in that case, will the necessary attitude be assumed by
ourselves for vindicating our own rights, and preven.ing
future tampering with them by enforcing satisfaction
for, or, in the alternative, by punishing present
attempts upon them. It should not be endured
for a single moment, that this ambitious Government
should, with impunity, renew those treacherous and un-
principled designs against the dynasty and authority of
Great Britain in the noblest empire of Asia, which, in
the judgment of all Europe, we believe, only escaped de-
tection two years ago by the suicide—or the violent re-
moval—of the Russian agent who then set them in
motion.

In the continued absence of all official dispatches concern-
ing the affair at Tamatave, the capital of Madagascar, in
which a conjoint force of English sailors and French soldiers
and sailors were fairly beaten back, though not ufitil after they
had accomplished the main object of their enterprise (to
rescue the persons and property of the Europeans resident in
the place), we forbear to offer any commentary on the facts
which attended the operation. We must, for the present, ab-
stain, for similar reasons, from animadverting on the bar-
barous tyranny of the native QuEEN—the widow of the noble
RADamA, our ancient ally, and, in his life-time, a generous
convert to the policy of discontinuing domestic slavery and
the trade in slaves with foreign Powers. As we should
rather say, perhaps, that we will treat these matters, for the
present, hypothetically only—as establishing the inferences
necessary for our purpose ; namely, that the QUEEN had
been guilty of intolerable oppressions and cruelty to the
French and English subjects settled, under the faith of
treaties, in her dominions—that the English and French au-
thorities of the Mauritius and Isle of Bourbon were fully jus-

By this time, we doubt not, the failure ofrtelpleairei,ftnasirop,s,evrir-
tions has been amply and memorably
GOMM, we all know, is not a man to put up with failure W.
Or to furl the flag he has once planted until it has fluttered in
the breeze of victory. But we are anxious, on the asAtnip-

tion that the tyranny and contumacy of this Malagash,
QUEEN have been such as they are reported in the last ad-
vices, to extract a lesson of political experience for those
maritime powers which, oflate years, in variousregions of the
globe, have been over forward and under scrupulous in enforc-
ing from feeble states or unarmed savages excessive reparation
for trifling injuries. The last voyage of discovery by an ex-
ploring expedition fitted out by the United States, com-
manded by Captain Wiums of their navy, supplies us with
the last instance of one of these wholesale and indiscriminate
slaughters which civilized man, armed with the terrible en-
gines of destruction and death that modern science has
helped him to, can at any time inflict on naked islanders for
offences, or even for crimes, the natural consequences of their
untutored impulses, their benighted ignorance, their head-
strong wilfulness. We could not help contrasting, on lately
perusing Captain WILKES'S " Narrative," the conduct
of the United States' officers in command of this
expedition with the generous forbearance and thought-
ful humanity of our own FRANKLYNS and LYONS,
under similar or more exciting circumstances of provocation-
The French, in their excessive exactions in the Rio Plate, on
the pretence of compensation to a compatriot pastry-cook,
whose pattypans had been pillaged, in a popular tumult; in
their seizure of one of the Marquesas, in their chivalric enter-
prise against Otaheite, and other such operations, have lately
been busied in enlisting the indignant sympathy of the Eu-
ropean public in the cause of those who have been the vic-
tims of their superior and overmatching force. They have
gained nothing by their successes. Loss of life, damage of
character, and large outlay of money, have been the only
realised results at which they have arrived after wading
through a dreary series of acts of injustice and aggression for
their attainment. Is it nothing to have weakened
the moral influence of their name in Madagascar, where it
has stood so high, for upwards of a century, by a species of
piratical " occupations " really not more justifiable by the
law of nations than Captain Mozaox's seizure of Panama
whilst ransom was being collected, or the earlier peccadilloes
in this sort of Sir FRANCIS DRAKE, or the later operations
of Sir Jomx NARBOROUGII, or Old DAMPIER? The facts of
the Marquesas and Otaheite affairs had been as well known,
for months prior to this conjoint expedition of a French
and English force at Tamatave, as they were in London or
in Paris.

We were assured, long ago, by parties connected with the
trade of Madagascar, and who have occasionally resided in
that magnificent island, that there was a feeling of jealous
animosity towards the French, half fear and half hatred,
growing up among the Malagashes, which had its immediate
origin in apprehensions of their ultimate designs on the inde-
pendence of the country. This feeling, we have no doubt,
was that which emboldened the ferocious and licentious
" RANAVOLA MANJAKA" and her black ORLOFFS and Po-
TEMKINS to refuse, with insolent contempt, all previous con-
cessions, or even negotiations, when applied to by an officer
of her Britannic MAJESTY'S navy. Now, the lesson we
read in these facts is—that that retribution which all of
us recognise in the system of the moral, equally pervades
the scheme of the political world. If this be so, in-
deed, we would fain hope that the Government of France,
taught by the experience of the past, will in future find no
reason for acknowledging in catastrophes of this kind that
its own conduct has challenged them.

The Madrid Gazette, of the 25th of September, publishes
a royal decree of some importance, relative to the Univer-
sities of Spain. A royal college is to be established at
Madrid; the Universities of Barcelona, Grenada, Madrid,
Oviedo, Salamanca, Santiago, Seville, Valencia, Valladolid'
and Saragossa are to be maintained ; and those of the Ca-
nary Islands, Huesca, and Toledo are to be converted into
secondary institutions. The Universities of Madrid, Oviedo,
Seville, Valladolid, and Saragossa are to have faculties of
theology, and those of Madrid, Barcelona, Santiago, and Va-
lencia, faculties of medicine. The decree appears to give
general satisfaction.

Colonel D'ORTEGA, a member of the Cortes, had been
arrested at Saragossa, and sent under escort to Madrid, but
the charge against him is not published.
According to accounts from Gibraltar, of the 18th of Sep-
tember, the treaty con ,luded by Sweden and Denmark with
Morocco on the sth, respecting the suppression of the tri-
bute hitherto paid by those two Christian Powers, were ex-
changed at Tangiers on the 14th.

morning to new companies, whose competition becomes a
danger for public credit, and compromises the very existence
of railway communications. The Government is warned. The
law furnishes it with sufficient means to disarm an irregular
and immoral competition, and it must use them. We trust
that the superior Committee, guided and supported by public
opinion, will display the utmost severity in the examination
of the titles of each company.: Serious competition must be
expected ; such is the object of the law ; but jobbing is not
competition. It was not the desire of the Chambers that
railroads should fall into the hands of hawkers of premiums
and insatiable gamblers. A crisis in the railroads might
cause serious financial embarrassments, and probably br►ng
about a political crisis of which it would be difficult to cal-
culate the consequences. The anarchical factions openly
speculate on such a crisis, and the Government would assume
a very great responsibility if it did not adopt the measures
necessary to moderate er prevent it."
'We subjoin miscellaneous extracts from the continental
papers :

. .
The Presse says that it appears to be certain that a
new creation of Peers will be made very shortly.
A Marseilles journal announces that Don Carlos and the
Princess de Beira were to leave that city .on the 2d, for Nice.
The Dusseldorf and Aix-la-Chapelle Gazettes publish a
Berlin letter, stating that the Prussian Cabinet has decided
upon not recognising the present order of things in Spain
until a marriage of conciliation with the Prince of the As-
turias hay given a certain guarantee to Europe.
The official organ of the deparment of foreign affairs of
Russia has just published an article explanatory of the Im-
perial ukase of June 19, which has been considered by the
French merchants as an act of reprisals against the modifica-
tions made in our customs' duties, in what concerns some of
the articles which come to us from Russia.
We read in the Leipsic Gazette:—" Letters from Odessa
confirm the accounts of the reverses experienced by the Rus-
sians in the Daghestan. The army of Prince Woronzow had
arrived at Gersel, a fortress on the extreme frontier of the
Caucasus."

The Cologne Gazette states from Berlin, that a project of
convoking a general council of the clergy of all sects in Prussia,
with a view to hearing their opinions on the religious ques-
tions which agitate the public in that country, is under con-
sideration.

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was exceed-
ingly dull. Sales 2,500 bales, all to the trade. There was
no alteration in prices.—Shares were quiet, but steady, and
prices were fairly supported.
• So numerous are the issues of new railway projects, that it
is with very considerable difficulty that we can, in the
ordinary space allotted to this department, to keep pace, so
as to notice those projects, which rarely have the appearance
of bona fides about them. In such cases as these we must
consider it a duty to refer to them, and also:to point out the
liabilities of failure when upon the face of the scheme doubts of
success exist. The prospectus of a Direct West End and Croydon
line bas just been placed before us, and it is well supported.
As the whole details will appear in the advertising columns
of to-morrow (the arrangements being scarcely yet com-
plete), we would rather defer comment upon the matter for
a day or two, so as to afford time for full consideration.
The Wheat trade has been scarcely so brisk to-day as it
has been, though there is an apparent firmness in prices The
duty is on the advance, and considerable samples have been
taken for home consumption, but moreespecially for exporta-
tion. The wholesale departments of trade continue in a
satisfactory state. The anticipations of the yield of the re-
venue for the present quarter in the City sre of the most
satisfactory character.
The Consol Market has been rather flat this morning, with
an inconsiderable amount of business going on. At present,
however, there is more firmness, and money is pretty plen-
tiful. Consols for the Account are at 98 to 98%, and for
Transfer 98 lA. There is no alteration in the value of Ex-
chequer-bil ls.
The Foreign Funds are more in request. The Portuguese
Converted Stock is firm. Spanish and the other Bonds have
varied but a little.

The Railway Shares are very firm, but the official list of
prices has been issued so late that an extended reference to
quotations is impossible now.

DENDRE VALLEY RAILWAY AND CANAL COMPANY.
—The Directors of this Company, which connects both by
rail and canal some of the most important towns in Belgium,
will shortly publish their report. The estimation in which
this line has stood, is fully shown by the fact that the shares
have always been at a premium. The operations have been
commenced, and are in active progress, and junctions with
the State lines may be expected to be announced. The ad-
vantage of rail and canal carriage is very important for the
peculiar traffic of this district.:

MARKET NEWS --(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

The arrivals of English Wheat for our market since Mon-
day have been on a very moderate scale; hence the show of
samples of that description of grain here was by no means
extensive. However, as the attendance of buyers was ccm-
paratively small, the demand for it was in a sluggish state.
The finest parcels of both red and white mostly sold at full
rates of currency ; but all other kinds could not be sold ex-
cept at a slight depression in value. Very little fine
Foreign Wheat was on offer, yet it was fully
adequate to meet the wants of the buyers. In all
descriptions very little was doing, at barely late rates.
The demand for bonded Grain for export to Holland hav-
ing ceased, scarcely a transaction took place, and prices were
almost nominal. No new English Barley at market. Grind-
ing and distilling sorts were without alteration. We had
only a retail trade for Malt ; but, as very little was on offer,
late prices were maintained for the best parcels. A full
average quantity of Oats has reached us this week from Ire-
land, yet the trade was steady, and the quotations were well
supported. In Beans, next to nothing was doing, and the
currencies had a downward tendency. Maple and Grey Peas
were dull and cheaper to sell. In Flour no sales reported.

SIVIZTHFXELD.
In to-day's market the supply of Beasts was remarkably
good as to numbers, but very deficient in quality. Owing to
the unfavourable state of the weather for shughtering, the
Beef trade was extremely dull, at barely stationary prices.
The supply of Foreign Stock consisted of only 50 Beasts and
20 Sheep. The numbers of. Sheep were small, yet the sale
for them was heavy, at late rates. For Veal, the inquiry was
very inactive, at a decline in the quotations of 2d per Blbs.
In Pigs a fair business was transacted. Milch Cows moved
off slowly, at from 151 to 191 each.

nortouGH HOP MARKET.

During the present week several parcels of new Hops have
arrived hither from Kent and Sussex, yet the demand has
ruled firm, and prices are well supported. Picking is now
very general; but the accounts relative to the produce are
by no means favourable. The duty is called 160,0001. to
165,000/. In yearling and old Hops comparatively little is
doing New Sussex pockets, 6/ 6s to 71; nen Kant ditto,
6110 s to 71 7s.
