SUMMARY OF NEVIS

ut)ltt Opinton.

" Who runs may read."

FOREIGN.
Several of our Paris Contemporaries devote con-
siderable space to comments on the Report of the
Com.mittee of the Chamber of Peers on the Regency
Bill,-but they are without interest. It will be suffi-
cient for us in our notice of them to say that they are
in the usual spirit of party praise or censure, being
bestowed rather according to the general political
°Pinions, of the commentators, than the real merits of
the document under consideration.
The- Commerce says ;—" A great change .Its to take
place in the beginning of October in the troops com-
posing the garrison of Paris and the camps. It is
stated that those about to be removed from Paris will
be previously reviewed by the Duke de Nemours."
A letter from Athens, in the Augsburg Gazette,
states that an intimation had been received there from
Paris, that M. Piseatnry was about to be created a
Peer, and sent as Ambassador to Greece.
The Univers states that the Spanish Government
has under its consideration a proposition for the build-
-I,ng of sixty vessels of war, twenty of which are to
ne iron steamers, within a period of four years, the
Contractors for the building of them to be paid by a
privilege to cut down timber in the forests of Libiena,
for exportation. We much doubt the accuracy of this
Statement,

-"ands of the French have been sent to Calais on their

troops, Felipo, who was shot by the Spanish
have hid Aurillac assigned to them as their
Place of residence.

PUBLIC OPINION.
Speaking of the late riots in the mining and ma
districts, the Times says :—" We ear-
.aestly trust that the mass of the workmen have been
, `ntra
,pped by their reckless and designing leaders into
f,'
vtion in which they have appeared as advocates
c i
to a c
be ause to which they are not, and do not intend
, attached. We hope this may be so. But it is
v°lll.able view which cannot and ought not to be
eo') carelessly ad
to topted. Their first ,
but words may have
vie injustice heir designs it is at least
possible that they may not. The failure of
e Chartist cry may have resulted from a want of
bu,l3atily in them from whom itprofessed to emanate,
may have proceeded.from a perception of those
ni°tiles of policy to which we have already alluded.
la,to lay hope the former, but we cannot forget the
sy''r alternative. We cannot shut our eyes to the
e~ours which have appeared that Manchester was
pout ,° apt as a kind of forlorn hope to an Organised
er,Zle' I movement ; and that by the success which
tal,led the efforts in that neighbourhood (we are
14;„_lag especially 'to what appeared probable at
tli,-."'Yr) was the course pursued in distant parts of
thstl°ll,ntry to be determined. And being aliye to
symptoms, we cannot but provide against the
t4r, Which they menace. The law of self-defence,
duty to society, and to the cause of order, bind
') gain a marked victory to defeat this power which
tipi,..,ll' led
its strength with the law ; they have
from justice to power, and it must be—we
aiC °as been—clearly shown where that power re-
th-",• So only can we check in our present opponents
4:11',; exaggerated notion of their own strength which
1:: produce the most fearful results?'
clev''.hn following is from the Post :—" Amongst the
Ices resorted to by the interested clamourers for
oti'e-trade and low wages, we know no more favourite
?. than that of an allusion to the disposition of other
a'l°ns to deal with us for manufactured articles if
t:aueal with them for corn. It is coolly advanced
cli2,foreign countries are animated by a more than
tC,l,stian anxiety to keep us stout and thriving on
ve beef and bread, if we but forego the care of pro-
vni'llg beef and bread for ourselves. And, this bene-
to ent disposition is plausibly accounted for. We are
re to
them manufactures, and they, in exchange,'
t° send us food. TVery good,' say the half-witted
tt, ueeiles whom the knaves of the League have im-
(o
kB,ed. upon ; if this be so, let us have free trade and
‘,"`-law repeal by
all means.' We should not cry
tr,,ell good,' even supposingthe representation to be
for we believe labour in nature's glorious garden
jastrar more condncive to man's happiness than the
1)1,,,°,14' performed in the unwholesome air of the thril-
' l'ledicated to selfish avarice. But setting this aside
g,se ',aye another reason for refusing to cry very
ta"-;,' viz., that the prospective representation of a
.colltll, al interchange of productions with other nations
tangent on England's abandonment or discourage-
11erit of her native agriculture, is not true, but quite
-true, and we shall presently prove it to be so.
The
11 Herald says:—" Lord Auckland has had no
4ttjtence of reception from her Majesty. Strange and
it)itlQus as is this circumstance, we still can scarcel
iy
laillitige in the hope that there is left in any man s
; f tis'l connected with public affairs sufficient gravity
ght to counsel such a reproof on the part of
-alajest, towards a man who has had the dis-
W:tien ofd being the instrument of great crimes.
-,again implore that so circumvented Nobleman
tieigh himself against his coadjutors, and to con-
whether it is safe for him to.put himself in their
and whether it is possible for him to retain

tlE with those .whOm he must know have
,kitfalsely with him, have spoken falsely of him,
r,re that to serve no object that he can comprehend.
144,1,4,re as yet but at the beginning of our Indian
'l.sia-:'eg, dishonours, and dangers. Lord Auckland
14.0 t only brought upon us enemies from without,
ca,e;rection from within—he has not only brought
li'o„Asla and over India the 61ark shadow of the
litit-"ern Colossus ; but he has destroyed the sense of
~ri„
in British officers, and of subordination in the
`l3ll service. What can we expect but insubor-
of and disaffection in our troops when thousands
!Lta)t,„'e,lll, in peri.hing, went to the grave with the
hp :Ledge that their dying 'anguish was commanded
`4° stern necessity, and imposed by no. national
kts-that they were the victims of the -"intrigues
women and of secretaries ?"
e Chronicle, alluding to the present state of the
I,amilfacturing districts, observes,—" The question of
taZespis now the only one which seems to affect the
t 4 illaeturing districts. At Aberdeen the Chartists
and agreed not to turnout for the Charter
kt,,,T,Ything else. An attempt to get up a Chartist
tll',l-I,ng at Glasgow on Saturday last, turned out a
t'ete failure. Still we perceive that in Lancashire
\vt,'len do not return to their work so generally as
anticipated. The accounts from Manchester of
,tll4llf.daY night distinctly state that the greater part of
414 they will not resume their employment until their
llikt'ers‘ advance their' wages. One account states
Po all the power-loom weavers, and a great

la of the fine spinners are still out, and some
eat°hs accuse the manufacturers of being impli-
la n•-`4 in the prolonged cessation of work, in order )
beget rid of their large stocks, which they have
Pyle enabled to do at a considerable advance in the

theers and others are subscribing to the support of
14,M:0rktnen in order to enable them to continue out.'
Ivh, Interruption of the public peace by bands of men

tiOria IS quite a distinct matter.from such combina-
ipp are above alluded to. Of the prudence or
Ipea,,lency of the latter, the unitiated are without the
'hat s ''finflging. We know it has often been stated
titiwealthy millowners occasionally supply cora-
eor,,, at°PB with funds, to secure themselves against the
rtition of rivals who would extend their opera-
the by means of reducing wages. In all trades
be I:ftre secrets. The masters and workmen must
