" Who runs may read."

rOTLEIGINT.

The French Papers are entirely occupied with articles on the
frightful heath of the Duke of Orleans. The Debats says :
" A Prince ever to be regretted has perished. Let us weep for
the loss; let us console his noble family by manifestations of
affection. Let France watch over the orphan Princes, the
noble and affecting inheritance left to us by their father. Let
the remembrance of the Duke of Orleans be their protection I
Public grief is but too just for a young and beloved Prince—a
Prince full of hope and promise has perished. But our insti-
tutions remain, and they are our own work. The monarchy is
erect, and the King and his children sustain it. The Chambers,
our Deputies, the Deputies of France are about to give to us
the support of the national will. The Legislature will provide
for everything, and the destinies of a great nation will not, un-
less it should abandon itself, be at the mercy of ono of those
terrible, but ordinary accidents, to which even the most pre.
cious lives are exposed."
_ _

The Constitutionncl speaks thus briefly of the convocation
of the Chambers :—" This measure is entitled to our entire
approbation. On this sad and solemn occasion, the repre-
sentatives of the country must rally round the Throne, and
convey to it the homage and the consolation of France. There
is besides a very grave question to be submitted to it—viz.,
that of the Regency. This cannot be postponed, fur the de-
cision of the Chamber will be an immense guarantee for the
country."
The ourrier Francais, alluding to the Regency question,
says:—" The King no doubt will live long enough to resume
and continue, for the benefit of his grandson, the great task
which falls upon all founders of dynasties. France, however,
requires to be insured against all events that may happen. The
heir to the throne being an infant just out of its cradle, it
becomes necessary to constitute a Regency which may exer-
cise the Royal functions during the minority of the Count de
Paris, in case of a demis,: of the Crown. This will be the
first duty of the Chambers about to meet.. France
still wishes to maintain what she established in 1830,
and she is sufficintly strong to enforce her will. We must not,
however, disguise from ourselves the fact that the disastrous
accident which has snatched the Duke of Orleans from the
Royal Family and the country is of a nature to revive the
pretensions of certain parties, Believing the existing Govern-
ment to have been weakened, they will become more confident
and enterprising. It is, therefore, the duty of the Powers
that be, to do that which will render all these endeavours im-
potent and vain."
The National has an article which does not appear to have
been written under the impress of any great grief at the loss
which France has sustained.
'1 he France, one of the organs of the legitimatist party, has
the following. It is purposely mysterious, but not so much so
that the meaning of the writer may not be seen :—" Everybody
is busy in discussing the prospects of France. The Prince who
bas just been struck in so fatal and so unexpected a manner was
the object of many hope's with those men who remained faithful
to the first illusions of the revolution of July. It appeared to
them that, at his probable accession to the throne, he would
operate a sort of restoration of the principles proclaimed in
1830, and which have been so much departed from since. The
event of July 13 extinguishes those hopes, and opens the way
to other ideas."

A rumour, which we notice only for its absurdity, was cur-
rent in Paris on Wednesday and Thursday, of a rising of the
Chartists in London. According to one version, the Queen had
been made a prisoner by them, and confined in the Tower.
According to another, the had been compelled to fly for secu-
rity to Windsor. The Gazette de France of yesterday evening
has been hoaxed into a belief of the reality of an outbreak. It
says :—" At the moment of going to press, we received from a
source worthy of credit the following information, which ap-
pears to confirm the news which was current yesterday A
vague report has been spread that the Queen has been obliged
to quit London. This news is perfectly true. The flight of
the Queen to Windsor is said to have been occasioned by the
most grave events, such as the assassination of a Minister, &c.
&c. In short, London is in open revolution.'"

PUBLIC OPINION.
'The Times finds fault with the present Administration for
being too liberal, and following up too closely the policy of its
predecessors :—" It will be generally admitted, that few causes
contributed more to the downfal of the Whig Administration,
than the utter want of confidence of the Church of England,
and the whole respectable part of the nation, in their principles
of action upon moral and religious subjects. Under these cir-
cumstances it deserves to be noted, that every discussion upon
questions of a high moral, religious, or social importance, which
has yet taken place under the auspices of the Conservative Go-
vernment, has exhibited the strictest identity of view between
the members of that Government and their predecessors. As
impartial chroniclers, we call attention to the fact, without for
the present drawing from it all the inferences which it might
warrant. As a fact it is undeniable, that statesmen who but a
short time since either abetted, or at least did not check, the
csatcry of their friends and supporters against measures whi,:h
were then stigmatized as immoral, irreligious, anti-social, and
unconstitutional, are now the most zealous and eloquent main-
tainers of those same measures and the principles on which
they are founded. Whatever may constitute the difference be-
tween the political sect of Sir Robert Peel and that of Lord
John Russell, it is clear that it does not consist in the posses-
sion by the former of any theory or code of practice, or rule of
expediency, as to matters of this nature, which was un-
known to or disregarded by the latter. There is an end of
that dream fsr ever. Sir Robert Peel may be an abler
and a stronger Minister, more patient, cautious, and prac-
tical ; of counsels less fluctuating ; less accessible to the
sinister influences from the dregs of his party, more deter-
mined to take experience for his guide, less jaundiced in his
view of the past, more incapable of being led by faction into
any dangerous excesses. But men of different principles they
are not? and it is only due to the Whigs to say, that Sir
Robert Peel, Lord Wharntliffe, and Lord Eliot, have, by
their recent conduct and speeches, plainly shown that they '
have studied in the same school of moral and political philosophy
with their predecessors. The debate on the estimates on Fri-
day contained as many evidences of this, as any previous de-
bate has done, those en the Poor-law only excepted. The
subjects discussed were, the Committee of Council on Educa-
tion in England, the Government plan of education in Ireland.
and the payment of ministers of religion in the colonies. Upon
every one of these points, it seems, the present Ministers have
satisfied themselves, on official acquaintance with the facts,
that nothing better than the plans of the late Government
could possibly be devised, and they are applying themselves
earnestly to carry out those plans. The hopeful converts arc
applauded to the echo by Liberals of every shade, by whom
this policy was always advocated, but who never before found it
in so fair a way to prosper as at present."
We quote the following from the Herald :—" The princi-
ples of a great party are not indicated by the extreme opinion
which may he uttered by the more enthusiastic or violent of
its members. Sir R. Peel and his colleagues are no more
bound by the sentiments uttered or the course adopted by Mr.
Plumptre or Colonel Sibthorp, while in opposition, than is
Lord John Russell or Lord Melbourne by the nonsense of
which Mr. Joseph Hume now nightly disburdens himself.
Push the opinions entertained by Sir Robert Peel, to excess,
and we have ultra Toryism; carry out Lord John Russell's to
their legitimate conclusion, and we have ultra Radicalism.
This comparison between the ultima thole of either views in-
dicates the superiority and wisdom of those entertained by the
Premier."

The Post remarks that the attacks of the Tory press on some
of the measures of the Tory Government, are convincing
proofs of the great strength of the latter, observing—" The
animadversions of the Conservative press upon some of the
measures of the Conservative Government, indicate the earn-
estness, the zeal, the independence, and the integrity of that
press, and of its readers, in the performance of what they deem
their duty to the interests and the rights of the community ;
bat indicate still more clearly their conviction that there is no
danger whatever of so great a national calamity as the resump-
tion of power by any such Administration as that of Lord
Melbourne. It is one of the advantages of a strong Go-
vernment like that of Sir Robert Peel, as contrasted with
a weak Government like that of Lord Melbourne, an advantage
to which no genuine English Tory can be inebfferent, that the
former revives the monarchical principle, and gives to the Exe-
cutive, as such, a considerable share in determining the course
of national affairs and events. Sir R. Peel is not, as Lord
Melbourne was, a nominal Prime Minister of a nominal Crown.
This is a great change."
The Chronicle, after alluding to the present distressed state
of the manufacturing districts, goes on to say :—" When men
possessed of a deep stake in the country are made desperate by
circumstances which they are unable to control, and hold lan-
guage like that which we have cited, the time calls for deter-
minate action. Englishmen are not easily thrown off their ba-
lance. They abhor, too, all means which are not strictly re-
concileable with constitutional forms. But it is obvious that
in the manufacturing districts society is rapidly approaching to
a state of utter disorganization. Under such circumstances it
behoves all men of property to reflect how much depends on
making a proper use of the interval which still admits of delibe-
ration. The motion of Mr. Thomas Duncombe, on Thursday
next, holds out to the despairing multitudes a last ray of hope.
Should they be disappointed, we tremble to think of what the
consequences may be. The edifice of British industry is mag-
nificent, but should one part of it fall, who shall say what may
be the fate of the remainder?"
IVIONEY—TRADE—CONINIERCE.
At Blackburn trade has been worse this past week, and
slacker also at Halifax and Rochdale. At Bradford, Leeds,
Manchester, business has been brisker.
A meeting of the creditors of Messrs Acraman, Morgans,
and Co., the large iron .founders of Bristol, took place on Fri- ,
day in that town. The liabilities of the firm are estimated at '
about 300,0001., in addition to those of their several estates.
Debts to the amount of nearly 84,0001. were proved. Trea-
surers and assignees were elected.
Two additional cotton-mills at Manchester, belonging to Mr.
Guest, and which employed some 500 or 600 hands, stopped
last week. The extensive Salford mills, employing 1,000 men,
women, and children, are also standing still.
The Potteries are still in a most disturbed state, many of the
shops are closed. The colliers are levying contributions in
several places, and even stopping provision-carts going to
market. 'They are also armed with sticks and bludgeons. It
is stated that if the colliers do not resume work next week, the
potters will be thrown out of work for want of coal, and the
distress amongst thousands of families will then be dread.ul.
LAW AND POLICE.

portation for life at the Bedford assizes on Friday, for setting

been passed on the on), two cases.

has been forwarded by the people of Manchester to M. Philips,
and M. Gibson, Esqs., Members for that borough, far pre-
sentation, which shows that they believe the country to be on
the eve of a revolution; that they are utterly without hope
that the Legislature will accord them justice, and requesting
their representatives, in common with all the Liberals of the
house of Commons, to stop all supplies to Government.
There are five competitors from Oxford for the Head-mas-
tership of Rugby school, and seven from Cambridge. The an-

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NE WS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The market for the English Funds continues firm, with a
prospect of further improvement; the extent of business is,
hots ever, trifling. Consols are 908 904 for Money, and 904
91 fur the Account. Three per Cents. Reduced, 914 9l*-;
Three-and-a- Half per Cents. Reduced, 1004 1001 ; New

Bills, Old, 47 ; New, 43 45 premium.
l'he remark as to our own Stocks applies exactly to Foreign
Securities; Dutch only have been dealt in, the Five per Cents.

'the intelligence by the Britannia, from South America,
though extremely meagre, is rather satisfactory for the holders
of Mexican Bonds. Although the relative position of the various
provinces is not changed in the slightest degree, yet the probabi-
lity of a serious war against Mexico, orany expensive expeditions
on 'her part appear to be more remote. This State has hitherto
fulfilled its engagement of setting aside a certain portion of the
Customs' revenues for the payment of the dividends ; and there
seems to be every desire to continue in this course if tranquillity
he maintained. The quotation for the Stock to-day is 364 37*.
The Share Market is rather better, without many transac-
tions, which have been chiefly in Great Western, 661/2, the
Half Shares 614; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 451/ 46; and
Brighton, 3414 341/2.
The Bands quoted to. day are—Colombian, 21i ; and Spanish
Five per Cents., 21.
The most important part of the intelligence by the Britannia
is the fact of the President havir'r put his veto to the Tariff
Bill. His reasons assigned for so doing appear to be satisfac-
tory to most thinking minds, and the unwillingness expressed to
alter tae fundamental principle of the " Compromise Act," for
the sake of a temporary expedient, is viewed as correct. The
excess of duty over 20 per cent. was by this law to cease in these
proportions : —One-tenth one the Ist January, 1834; another
tenth at the commencement of 1836, 1838, and 1840, one-half
the residue on the Ist January, 1842, and the remainder on the
Ist of this present month, so that now no higher duty than 20
per cent. is levied. This intelligence is of great consequence
to our manufacturers, as, by the proposed arrangement, most of
our productions would have been virtually prohibited. Trade
appears to be still exceedingly dull, and the anticipations which
had been formed of a revival in the autumn, are now not near
so strongly supported as they had been. A copy of our new
tariff had arrived out, and the markets for provisions and lard
had become brisk, so that some extensive importations of these
articles may shortly be expected.
Occasion has been frequently taken to point out the
real nature of American State Stocks, and the rea-
sons then assigned as a caution against dealing in them on
this side of the Atlantic find additional force in the fact that
Arnansas has been added to the list of repudiators. The ex-
cuse given for this proceeding is, that the banks have failed in
fulfilling their engagements ; if such he tenable, and payment
of State obligations be dependent upon banking institutions,
then it may be fairly surmised that not one single State is
solvent.

THE MARKETS.—(T Ills DAY).
CORN EXCHANGE.
The past week's arrivals of English grain were good, and
of foreign Wheat very large, and the fresh supply was again
good. Wheat sold very heavily, and little clearance was made
at 2.. to 3s. per quarter reduction from last week's prises. In
Barley, Beans, and Peas little done at their former value. Oats
dull, and 1.. per quarter lower. Flour met a moderate demand
at last week's prices. The weather continues splendid for ripen•
ing the crops.
