SUN OFFICE Three o'Cluch.

The meeting of the Delegates assembled at Palace.
yard this morning, fully justifies the anticipation that the
hostile feeling of the public in reference to the operation
of the Corn-laws is not in the least abated. The Depu-
tation is already most numerous, while every hour wit-
the fresh arrival of gentlemen charged to repre-
sent the depressed condition of every manufacturing
interest, and the poignant sufferings of industrious, but

nesse:

ow compulsorily idle, multitudes of our fellow-sub

jects. The gentlemen now sitting wear an aspect, in
many respects, wholly different -from that which they
have heretofore assumed. On former occasions they
appeared to vindicate the righteousness of their claim,
and the claim of our national industry to a free com-
mercial intercourse with the world at large, and rather
spoke of evils which they apprehended than of those ac-
tually experienced ; now, however, they appear to re-
present, in their own persons and on behalf of their
perishing constituents, the frightful and often fatal effects
of that policy which before they solight to change. Every
man appears ()Ran errand of life and death. The speakers
seem too full for utterance. The scenes of ruin from which
) they have come, and which rise before them in all their
horrible features and disorganising- tendencies, deprive
them alike of the power and inclination to discuss the
abstract principle, and force thetn to speak chiefly of
the awful danger which at this moment . menaces the
safety of the citizens and the most precious institutions
of the country. The speeches of Mr. BRIGHT and Mr.
PUNT, so full of just indignation against the callous and
deceptive conduct of the Government, were responded
to with a fervour and unanimity which proved that the
entire body of the Delegates deem the time come to use
a language of remonstrance much stronger than any_be-
fore employed. Heavy indeed is • the responsibility of
our rulers ! Will they awake to duty before it is utterly
too late ? We shall see.

We are surprised to find a Liberal Morning Contem-
porary advocating the policy of our permanently occu-
pying Afllghanistan. The most imperfect knowledge 0,

hat country—of its immense distance from the seat of
)ur Indian Empire—of the warlike tribes by whom it is
inhabited—and of the fierce nations which surround it,

ought to open the eyes of any person capable of think-
ing rightly upon any subject, to the extreme folly—:he
utter madness of such a proceeding. Talk of the am-
bition of Russia ! She is moderation itself compared
with a large class of British politicians. They think
as little about swallowing up eastern kingdoms as chat-
tering monkeys do of cracking as many nuts. While
railing against Russia, they would first take Affghan-
istan, where it would be impossible ever to sheathe the
sword. As Lahore and the country of the Sikhs would
then be between us and our Indian territory, another
war must be undertaken to dethrone the Sovereign
of the Punjaub, and thus subject to our sway
the dominion of the late Maharajah, RUNJEET
SINGH. .Commercial pretexts would be set up
for the seizure of Herat ; and thus, supposing
success possible, would we have pushed our frontier to
the confines of Persia, by a series of acts as imprin-
cipled as ever were hatched by the Czarina CATHA-
RINE 11., for the conquest of the Crimea, or by the Arch-
duke CONSTANTINE for the prostration of Poland. The
whole world is already arrayed against the unceasingly
aggressive policy of Great Britain. There is not a
people on the surface of the globe in the smallest degree
conversant with our history, who can be persuaded of
our sincerity when we profess to make war vith no
view to extent or territory, but simply to vindicate our
honour. Our Contemporary may make light of this
matter if he pleases, but to us it wears a very serious
aspect. It proves, as Dr. CHANNING has well remarked,
that there is something radically wrong in our system
of foreign policy. We have not the art of inspiring
confidence and love ; suspicion and fear herald all our
approaches even to the aid of our friends. But our Con-
! temporary shall be heard in his own words. We sub-
join an extract from his article :

From the renewed success of our arms in Affghanistan,
there can remain no question whatever on the nature of the
policy ultimately to be pursued—of the absolute necessity of
our retaining power ever a region which either Russia will
mould to the accomplishment of her own stratagems, or Eng-
land must govern in toto. Of the facility with which its milt.
tary re-conquest is to be secured, there is abundant tvidence in
the favourable change which the character of events has taken.
General Pollock's triumphant passage through the Khyber,
combined with his arrival to the relief. of Jellalabad, together
with the movement effected by General England, in reference
to Candahar, and his success at Hykulzie, where be attacked
and carried the enemy's position without the loss of a single
man, are events in illustration that the complete military sub-
jugation of the whole territory cannot engross more than the
briefest period, and that then the question of the political policy
to be pursued must be adopted with a decision allowing of no
divergence to plans imperfect, and not containing an inviolable
principle.

To overrun Affghanistan is not to subdue it. The know-
ledge of this fact has been purchased at an expense of
thirteen millions sterling of British treasure, and more
than twenty thousand of British subjects, whose life-
blood has saturated its passes, its mountains, and its
capital. The late gallant Col. DENNIE, who served fur
thirty years in India, and who led the forlorn hope which

captured Ghuznee under the command of Sir JOHN, now
Lora-KEANE—an officer as distinguished for high mili-
tary talent, as for bravery—has left on record his con-
viction. that nothing could be wilder than our whole
scheme of invading Caubul, except the attempt to remain
in it an hour after the complete triumph of our arms.
Nor have our reverses in Afighanistan b: en so few or so
isolated as to justify us in speaking contemptuously of
the valour of a people among whom we expended nearly
as much hard cash as bayonet thrusts and musket-bullets.
Let us just enumerate a few of our reverses, the first
twelve of which we find in Col. DENNIE's correspond-
ence :—There-was first CLARKE with his detachment and
convoy massacred ; 2d, a similar escort and convoy under
a native officer destroyed ; 3d, Clibborn's detachment of
1,100 men nearly cut in pieces, guns and all material
captured ;, 4th, Khelat retaken ; sth, Quettah besieged ;
6th, defeat at Pushoot; 7th, M`Gregor's party cut up, and
guns captured on the frontier of Bajore ; Bth. Dadur in-
vested ; 9th, retreat from Balghur and Syghan with loss
of tents, arms, ammunition, provisions, &c. ; 10th, defeat
at Joolgan ; 11th, 2d Cavalry scattered and driven off the
field, and our retreat from Yuman Hurrah ; 12th, late
disaster near Bagh (in Scinde) repulsed with great loss ;
13th, murder of the British Envoy, and frightful mas-
sacre at Caubul ; 14th, repulse of General PoLLocK's
advanced division in theFtyber Pass; 15th, recapture of
Ghuznee, and massacre of the garrison ; and last of all,
the driving hack of General England from the Khyber to
Quettab, whole he remained till commanded by General
Norr to fight his way to Candahar. All these reverses
show what a brave and resolute race we have to deal
with, and that, unlike the indolent castes on the plains
of Hindostan, they are not to be conquered by the loss,
not of one battle only, but of twenty. The Affghans, like
ourselves, know not when they bre beaten ; and peace-
ably to rule their country would be, in fact, to desolate
it by the sword. Having impressed the Affghans with
a speedy and a wholesome dread of us, our wisest policy
is to abandon their country voluntarily, and at once, and
thus secure both their respect and friendship. Having
taught them to dread our power, let us show them in
what way they can maintain our friendship and secure
our aid. It is faithful, devoted, and vigilant allies, not
territory, that we want on our North-Western Indian
I frontier.

There is an absolute dearth of news in the French
journals of Sunday. An Express from Paris of Mon-
day's date states that a commercial treaty is about to be
sinned bet Ween France at.d Belgium, by one article of
which Belgian linen and linen threads are to be ad-
mitted into France at the rate of duty paid prior to the
date of the late Royal Ordinance, Belgium agreeing to
lower tile duties upon French wines. This will turn our
linen trade into a new channel. Instead of supplying
France directly with linen, we shall now do so by way of
Belgium. at an increased expense to France.
The Phare de Pyrenees of the 29th June says :
" An extraordinary courier arrived at B lbao' on the 2.3 d, in

morning, taking the road to Vittoria. He will go to La-

ready half of the Commerce of this morning is filled with a
map representing the fortifications of Paris, and the range
which the mortars of the detached fortresses would have in the
event of their being at any time turned against the capital.
According to thi4 map the whole of Paris is included, with the
exception of the Quartier en Louvre, and that of the Tuileries,
the Chansse d'Antin, the Champs Elysees, and externally the
environing the route de Nettilly.

CRIM/NALCOURT.—(THIS DAY.)
OLD CO UR T. , 1
Francis Cooke aged 22, and Alfred Barnes 20, cli.scribea'j,
as labourers, were charged with feloniously receiving on the
14th of June last, 12 yards of silk, six yards of calico, and eigu
yards of fringe, value 20s. the property of Thomas Warren,
`
well knowing the same to have been stolen. ".s4
Mr. Philips appeared for the prisoners.
Thos. Warren, the prosecutor, who is the well known up' 5,e0
holster in Oxford-street, deposed that he entered into a on: 63
tract with the Committee of the Spitalfields Ball to furnish the si
Italian Opera House with decorations on the occasion of the ina!'
,00
niticent ball which took place at the Opera House, under the
auspices of her Majesty, for the relief of the distressed Spit'r:e
fields weavers. The decorations on being returned to witnesh
were found to be deficient in several instances, and the proPeill
now produced composed a part of the deficient decorations.
John Jobnforth, C 182, stated that he was on duty n'
Pall-mall on the 14th of June, when he saw the prisonffi
loitering about under the Opera collonade. He shortly aft' ~ "
wards observed Cooke go into No. 4, Pall-mil, and in a 014
time come out having a bundle under his arm, which costal!, "1/1
