JOSEPH HUME.

Nobody, it would appear, has thought it worth while to oppose
Mr. Hume, in that he will probably be returned for his burghs in
the north: Joseph, however, has always been of opinion, that "a:
bird in the hand in Worth two in the bush," and he has lost no
time, therefore, in paying his addresses to his constituents. He
has been breakfasting its Dundee, dining in Brechin, and supping
in Arbroath. He has been going to church with the Magistrates,.
and exchanging snuff-bow with the guildry. He has been eating.
strawberries with the bailie:' wives, and making speeches to the
incorporated trades. It is belause our attention has been attracted by
one of those speeches that w speak of him now at All. We have read
the newspaper report of it with immense amusement. If it be really
what Joseph said, he is not only one of the best arithmetician*,
hut one of the vainest men in the three kingdoms. He has actually
been trying to make the good honest people in the north believe that
every thing done in the last Parliament was done by him ! " I
flatter myself," said he, (the word flatter was well selected) "that
the superior accuracy of the finance estimates, the reduction* in the
expenditure and the taxes, the repeal of the combination laws, the
new views entertained of the impressment arid flogging of seamen—,
of the English and Irish Church Establishments, dim, com-
mutation of tythes, of the Catholic question, and of, Lal. &e.
ice., have all been effected through ray instrumentality." How
thew popular candidates do talk ! To hear them, one would
think that they were each and severally the very life
and soul of the British Parliament, that in the House of Com-
mons they were the Triton among the minnows, the Dr. Andrew
Thomson in the Church Patronage Society. But how soon their
vapouring ends when they find themselves seated opposite a Ro-
binson, a Huskisaon, or a Canning ! Then you may see them
like so many " poor Yoricks"--" quite chop-fallen !" endeavour-
ing to meet clear and luminous statements with heavy priming de-
tails, or sparkling wit and satire with dull, ponderous verbosity.
If honest Joseph had told the corporations of Brechin that in the
last session he had made three hundred and forty-seven motions,
it would have been well enough, but to try to make them be-
lieve that he carried three was a little too much. —Ediabnegli

PRESTON ELECTION.

The subjoined being part of a speech said to have been delivered
by Mr. John Wood, one of the candidates, en evening or two pre-
vious, from a window of the Red Lion, Preston, is extracted from
the Preston Chronicle of Saturday last, June 24th.
" Let him (Capt. Barrie) bear the national flag against the foe
if he will; but, if he were ben, I would till him this—that the
national flag was never more disgraced than it is by being borne in
a procession of men who are brought up to vote against their con-
sciences by the pries of bribery."
Captain Berrie, the gallant Officer alluded to, feeling highly
offended at this, immediately demanded an explanation of Mr.
Wood, and received from him the following, which afterwards
appeared in -a fourth edition of the Preston Pilot on Monday
evening.
" I am not answerable for newspaper reports ; but I haie no
hesitation in saying, that the report of my speech isinaccurate in
many important points, and that I did not utter the words as above
quoted by the Chronicle; and I have further no hesitation in
saying.

in which their operation has proceeded; and it thus puts
it in` our power to form a sounder judgment concerning the
fut urehepes of the country. To teach the people to look to
Parliament with a reference to such adVantages as these, :is
to impress 'Vat them a wise lesson ; but to tell them to call
,upon Parliament to pat anent' 'to evils Which arise not
from legislative.' enactments, but frothE the 'general rela-
tions of society, is to foster a most mischievous delusion.

Man the free exercise of his ,owrr industry, uniunPOed,bY

In order to maintain the institution!,

der which it may be advisable to divert part of those re-
-sources frOm their primary object, and apply them in the:

a course, however, should never be adopted except .under
the pressure of very extreme necessity. In itself it is al-

iflgoves-:that if the law is too severe in its enactment;
men - will reason for themselves, Iby choosing
ant
alTeentwo"teils acquit a felon, whom, if the sentence
.were tempered to the 'guilt, they would at once convict.
Grievous as is this defect in bur criminal code,, which
_ enables vagabonds of the w,c, •18 .t description to escape
through Its f 0 op:hole8,
Predations ,; 011 again. to commit de-
public, after profiting by
the experience of ,
more guilty associates in pri-
son,. yet he
del,;ect more grievous in cases
of violation, Ir. here the destroyer of fernale,virtue
is
tHabled, bY ':he nature of the law, not only to escape
ttn"'"th-1., but to triumph in his guilt. It mon-
strous to expect that an innocent should know
what i'i meant by the test necessary to convict the
!Air, who has violated her person, and destroyednot
only her own happiness, but 'irreparably wounded the
hou.our of her family. And is such a man to escape,
m'-rely becanse the law has raised insurmountable oh-
' S'atelei in • his favour ? a man less a robber, who,
after knocking down a traveller, takes a piece of mo-
ney from his pocket, and escapes conviction, because
the traveller could not: identity the money, but could
positiyelY swear to having been robbed by. the person
who knocked him down ? And is -a modest woman
to be lett unprotected by the law, because from her
ignorance, she cannot explain what she does
snot.cona;
prebend ? Is the guilt of a ruffian the less who commits
an assault with the intent of robbery, whether he effects
. the robbery or not ? Would a fellow be deemed less guilty
who puts his hand into a raan's pocket but could 6nn.l
no money, than if he took out the ptirse ? Would a
burglar, Who has broken into a house in the dead of
night, to the terror of its helpless inmates, be less
guilty because they could not tell the colour of his
coat,, or tlie lineaments of his face, having never seen
tither, Paid thus prevented by their terror from identifying
him ? But such is the absurdity of our laW. Every
speGes of property is protected but that which is above
411 oriee—the honour and innocence of the fec
male sex, which are left to the mercy of
the spoliator. Surely a . nation. which. :prides
itself upon the excellence of its Constitution,
ought. to be gallant enough to protect the virtue of
its :greatest ornament—the delicacy and, purity of
the fair daughters of liberty. It is 'impossible for. us
to speak too strong upon this subject; but our indig-
notwn, like that of.a dumb man, is the greater, because
he cannot express the very nature of his wrongs. Let
us hope thatthe regenerator of our laws will not over-
look this oubject, but endeavour to correct the
si
ab-
surdity which, has but too long disgraced our Statute-
book. - • '

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

It has been said that Europe owes her independence to
the obstinate stand made by-the Spaniards against Boo-
naparte. It may with equal troth be said, that .E,ttrope
is iodehted to Spain for the general discredit into which
the principles of the Holy Alliance have fallen, t Mee
their triumph in the Peninsula. The Cartes might oc-
eationally beton.sanguine and indivreet, but
.they gave a
stramrkeiternent to the national mind, and iMprovernents
of every description 'were making their opliearance. - But
since the triumph of social order, ot of the Altar and the
Throne, or of Ki»gseraft and Priesteraft, for we will not
quarrel:about names, the energies of the nation are rout-
pletely paralysed. nespotism appears there with a hide-
ousness which revolts even the anthers of its triumph,
and admonishes the nations to guard trgainst a similar fate
by the e6tablisbAent of Constairtional securities, and a
Government, of law. Spain 'has' silenced the oracles of the:
}l6ly she has afforded an adthirahle
cation; of the benefits Which flow from the Monarc:hicalprm-
eir;ie.
MA( the contrast between Spain and England at
Oie 'present moment. The -People of the manufacturing
districts have been long suffering the most dreadful priva-
tions ; but With the exception of the attempts to break
power-looms in a few places some months ago, they have
remained proof against all inflammatory appeals to them,
and little apprehension is entertained of any interruption
of order,' even under the most trying circumstances.-4n
Spain, on the other hand, all is suspicion and fear.
.The
aovernment, like a traveller in the dark, startles at ever),
hound. Such are the fruits of pv4-fling by constraint,
and repressing the circulation of knowledge and inform,-
t Chrmileir.
It has been, suggested as extremely desirable that Par-
liament should interfere to limit the age at which persons
should be allowed to hold public offices of trust and acti-
vity; and that no one, for institute, should be appointed
to 'any such office above the age Of or allowed to
hold it after seventy. The "aye ‘eneseentem!" so wisely
laid down by the, poet, and the jiistice of which is so rea-
dily seen and acquiesced in by every man in the case of
others, is what no one applies to himself.

Lord ALTHOR PE expressed his conviction that it was use.
hss for any Individual Member of that House to attempt to carry
through such a measure. Having had the cordial 'support of
those Members of the Government who sat in that House, they
must have seen the necessity of some legislation upon the sub.

BANK CHARTER.

The Order of the Day having been read, and the House
having gone into a Committee on the Kink Charter Alteration
Bill,

The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, that it had been originally
imagined that s the law noWitood the Bank of England was
authorised to form Branch Banks of its own thronghout the
country. On, inquiry,:,however, it' had been found that the
Bank possessed the right of' establishing; agencies, but with.
out giving them the discretionary power necessary to enable
them to carryon Banking: A clause had been drawn up with
the view of removing all doubts upon that point, and giving
the Bank fall authority to establish branches of its own when-
ever it should think proper. Although ere' hoped that if the
Bank abstained from doing so. its 4 liberality would alloW
the establishment of Chartered Banks where they were
wanted, yet he' thought it fair' that the power and choice
should be left entirely with the Dank, and that all nbstructiOns
should be expunged out of the existing law. With respect
to the clause which he held, he should propose that it should
be read, the Bill recommitted and the Report received on.
Friday next, when the remaining discussion might betaken Mt
that stage.
The Alarquis of LANSDOWN did, yet wish to offer the
slightest oppoiition to any donee which ,iiisum enable the Bank
to try an experiment mextreniely important to its Own bite-mats
and to those of the country ; but he wished to impress on the.
Noble Earl the necessity, whilst supplying every facility to the
establishment of Branch Banks, that they should be obliged
pay in gold wherever they were established and their issues
were made. Difficulties had arisen on that point in Ireland,
which it would be proper to anticipate and prevent in this
country.
Nord ELLENBOROIJOII considered the clause proposed
one of the most useful of the whole 11111, and that every en.
cotTirhageolm,oe,i:DshOuld be given to the establishment of Branch
Banks, in order to drive the CoUntry Banks' paper out of cir.
culetion.

The Earl of LAUDERDA id would wish to have an op.

he was called upon to vote its adoption. • - •
k The Earl of LIVERPOOL had no objection to the re.
printing of the Bill with its amend:tents, before the discussion
should take place next Friday on the bringing up of the Report.
The House then resumed, and the Bill was ordered to be re:
committed to.rnorrow.—Adjourned.

PAR LIAM E WARY PRIVILEGE.

Mr. TIOLFORD called the attention of the House to a
nutter Which he considered as involving n breach of its prlvi-

attend upon a Jury in the Court of Exchequer notwithstand-
ing the exemption which he understood to he the right of
Members of Parliament while attending to the discharge of
their do ties.•

Mr. DA VENPORT said ho had to complain of having been
placed in a similar situation. •
Mr. SCA R LETT said, :as we understood) that the oecnpa.
tions ofa Member of Parliament might be an excise in such a
case; but he was not aware that any privilege or the House
protected him from being summoned.

Mr: WYNN contendred, that while the Parliament was sit.
ting, its privileges were violated by compelling a Ilember to
attend a Jury in a Court of Law.
Mr. SCARLET!' made an observation which we under.
stood to he in support of the opinion he had before expressed.
Mr. ELLICE said, that he had been one of the unfortunate
persons placed in this disagreeable situation t and that he hod
been fined for ncin.attendance, after his case had been discussed
in the Court. • '

Secretary PEEL said, that his understanding of the
words introduced into the Act was, that it exempted Members
from such attendance. The exemption was not more particu-
larly specified, because he thought the privilege was an under-
stood protection. If, however, there was any doubt upon the.
point, the better way would be to introduce other words into the
Act, which should make them be excused by law.
r. A BE ItORO M B If thought that Members of Parliament
ought to be exempted from such claims on their time during
the sitting of Parliament.
After a few further observations of the same nature from Mr.
SCARLETT, Mr. J. VirttAtAms, and Mr. Secretary PEEL, it
waft agreed, upon the suggestion of Mr. WY NN—.
,•: hiss Ow matter of the said complaint be refered to a Com•

Upon this subject and its causes we offered what ap-
peared to us to be just and sound ob.servations.—Some of
our.Cotemporaries accused us of hard-heartedness, want
of feeling, and sundry other vices, which accusations were,
heaven knows, unfounded. We boldly stated that the
distress, which we admitted to exist to a deplorable ex-
tent, was not in reality felt by those who formed theatrical
processions through the streets, issued inflammatory hand-
bills, and committed disgraceful riots—in fact not by the
operative mechanics, who arc the sworn and devoted sup-
porters of a system of illegal and ruinous combination;
and in 'proof of the view taken by us, we would refer to
the Charge delivered 'by Lord Norbury (than whom a
more acute observer of huMan nature does not exist) to
the Commission Grand Jury on Saturday last.—Evening

MANCHESTER, TUESDAY, AuG. 15.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
Our market to-day has presented no improvement,
either as to demand or prices, and we think upon the
whole, that it is not in so healthy a state as it was the
last fortnight. The buyers who flocked in upon us
last week haVe not, it appears, made very extensive
purchases, and from the general appearance of things
to-day, we cannot help feeling afraid that a relapse is
at hand ;: and if so, the consequences will be truly dis-
heartening. Hence, every day confirms our opinion
that one great cause of the confined limit to our
transactions is really the want of bona fide Capital in
those hands who have hitherto been accustomed to
invest it in trade. And; much as it is to be regretted,
as our manufactUrers have lost the ineins which they.
have been years in accumulating, they are now unable
to give that credit which the comparative poverty of
the buyers seem to require, and which, in ordinary
imes, would have been willingly granted.

ROCHDALE, AUG. 15.

The only factory now unemployed in the township of
Rochdale, is an extensive one, which was the property of
the late Mr. Itolme, of this. town. After that Gentleman's
death, it, became, the subject of a suit in Chancery, andits
operations were suspended, by which 305 weavers were
thrown out of employment, who, with their families, con-
sisting of 1,200 persons, became dependent on charity for
support. A petition, signed by a number of those per-
sons; has been forwarded, through the Curate of this pa-
rish, to the Lord Chancellor, praying hit Lordship to take
such steps as will enable 'the parties clairning the factory to
set it to *ark; to which his Lordship immediately replied,
by Calling for such information as would enable him to
ascertain, whether he could meet the wishes of the peti,
tioners. I send, you a copy of the letter, which I procured,
from one of the. petitioners, who warmly. expressed hil
gratitude for the ready and polite attention which their
application received from his Lordship :--
" 81R-I should he extremely glad to be of any use to the
persons whose petition you have sent me; • buti am wholly un-
informed, except by this petition, of any will of Holmei of Roch-
dale, being in the Court of Chancery, and, of course, I cannot know
what such a will, would authorise the Court to do in any respect.
If the will is the subject of any suit in the Court of Chancery, and
the parties could give the name of the cause, or of the suitors and
solicitors concerned in it, I might, by inquiry, be able to learn so
much of the business, as to know whether the Court can do any
thing useful to the petitioners. If I could be supplied with any
such information, I would readily•inquire into the matter. As
;to setting the late factory to work by any authority ,that I have, I
apprehend it cannot be thought I have any such authority, And
for the reason I have mentioned, I cannot know what the litigating
parties can or cannot do.

• " I am, with the respect which I learn is due to you,
" Sir, your obedient Servant,
(Signed)
" To the Rev; J. Atpinall, Rochdale."
The particulars called for by his Lordship' have been for-
warded, and the . poor weavers 'expect to hear, in a few
days, whether it is in his power to relieve them.

FRENCH PAPIRS.

(From the Etoile, dated Tuesday, Aug. 15.)
PARIS, AUG. 14.—We have received news from Lisbon
dated August 6.
The Military Governor of Trits-os-Motites, D. Correa'
de Mello, issued, on the 224 July, thefollowiug Proclaim'.
tion, from his head-quarters at Chaves. '
Inhabitants of Chaves, Valiant and Obedient' Soldiers
of the Garrison of this place !—At the sante time that per-
fidious men, disturbers of good order, dare to form associa-
tions in manifest opposition to the sovereign orders of the
King, I must hasten to inform you, that several of the
chiefs of those criminal associations were arrested last
night, and deprived of power to disturb the public trim-
quillity. Measures have been taken, that such illegal at-
tempts may not be repeated. The authors of the disor-'
der have been seized With such Promptness and secrecy,
that you could not hear of it till after their arrest.
These happy resultsare due, soldiers, to your firmness,'
to your obedience to your superiors, and the fidelity which
has always distinguished you, I shall constantly depend
on you to execute the important mission which his,Most
Faithful Majesty has entrusted to me.
'The same General Correa tle Mello addressed, on the
29th July, the following Report to the Minister of War:--
Most Excellent Sir—The 24th regiment of the line bits,
had the audacity to arrest all 'its superior officers, and
openly to rebel against the orders of the King, our master,
in the night of the 26th instant.
I have At least the satisfaction of informing yi?ur Excel-
lencY, that the 12th Reginient of Cavalry retired tinder
the fire of the abOve-mentioned Regiment. I shill hasten
to march against the rebels with the faithful troops that
remain in this province.

to the masters and to the slaves. If, indeed, it should still be
found that neither education nor religion will stimulate to reason-
able exertions in a tropical climate, which no man acquainted with
the subject will positively assert or deny, then the question will
arise—abandon the West Indies altogether, or continue to culti-
vate them by slaves. In the discussion of this question no unim-
portant consideration will be the probable consequences to the
slaves themselves, of being abandoned to their own discretion and
management. Suppose the sacrifice made brEngland of all her
Weat Indian Colonies; suppose the slaves allsmancipated. They
will work only when it is necessary for -hare Sustenance. ; But the
soil yields without any labour enough to satisfy their wants. In
these circumstances what could be looked for, but their ultimate
extermination by wild wars, as formerly in Africa, by famine, or
by pestilence? And 'the crimes
.and the. horrors of intermediate
events, what heart can conceive unappalled ? "But I run away
with prospective and very doubtful reasoning. What it at pre-
ient to be attended to, is to raise the moral condition of the slaves
by an abundant supply of xealotla indefatigable schoolmasters, and,
ministers of religion. This, at least, will be conferring unequi-
vocal good, and perhaps qualifying and- fining- fir the frill rues-
sion of " the rights of man." -

RETURN POST-CHAISES,

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Mft. EDITOR--I shall feel obliged if you, or any
of the correspondents of your loyal and widely-circu-
lating journal, will inform me, whether or not a law
has lately come into 'operation which forbids a return
post-chaise carrying passengers, under a severe penalty?
I have been told, but am unwilling to believe, such is
the case, since it would ill accord with the liberal and
enlightened Conduct so uniformly
.displayed by, his
Majesty's Government. If such, however, be :the
law, do' pray inform me on what Act of Parliament
this excrescence, this fungtis of legislation, has been en-
grafted ? What has the country suffered by the prac-
tice ? and what is expected to be gained by depriving
the inferior, but not therefore less deserving, orders of
his Majesty's subjects, of an accommodation they have
hitherto enjoyed!' For such I believe are almost the
only persons who benefit by it.—Mark its operation.
A few days since, a' man in humble circumstances
in the country, had a distance of nearly thirty miles to
travel on business that was to him important, and to
whom it was equally important he should return as
speedily its possible to his family and his usual avoca-
tions. No stage-:coach could afford the deSired ac-
commodation on the day he was able to set out; a return
chaise, however, was going nearly twelve .miles on the
road, to a point from whence he would have been en-
abled to get on with facility, but the driver declined
to take hum, in consequence of this alleged enactment,
and the carriage returned empty and useless, leaving
the humble traveller to wait or walk, his circumstances
not allowing him to incur the expellee 'of u a
is
chaise." I repeat my inquiry, Mr. Editor, what is to
be gained, and who is to be benefitted by this enact-
ment, if such exists? Was 'it intended for the benefit
of stage coachmen ? Surely, the public are already suf-
ficiently at the mercy. of. these worthies, who,, of all
classes of his Majesty's_ subjects, may, perhaps, '.be
most safely left to take care of themselves. VVas it
intended' to benefit the Revenue ?—impossible,—the
liberal and enlarged views of his Majesty's Ministers
would never have allowed them to countenance any
such pitiful regulation as a matter of finance, had the
subject :been fairly before them--::it looks like an in-
terpolation of some clerk of the fourth class.
Revenue is necessary for the purposes of the
,State,
and no right minded Englishman will object to taxes
fairly levied, and hOnestly applied, but a shilling exacted
by petty fiscal regulations will always be more unwil-
lingly paid than a pound levied by any direct and open
system ; and I verily believe a great majority of the'
public would readily acquiesce in an equitable property
tax, if thereby relieved from minor, but vexatious ob-
jects of taxation; at all 'events such is the feeling a
yoUr obedient Servant and constant reader;

ried round the head, until the hand arrives in a perpendieuler
line above the shoulder, with the large end of the club pointing
in a diagonal direction to the rear.

2. ,The dub in the left hand is raised in a similar manner, and

will remain perfectly steady the first petition.
S. With the body rather leaning forward, circle both clubs at
the same time, on the right and left of the body, until ordered
to halt.

The club exercise should be intermixed with the firelock
drill, particularly in cold weather.
