and misery, are infinitely more to blame than the
suffering and goaded masses.

Scripture says " men do not gather
,giapes from
.thorns, and figs from thistles ;" and when, instead of
grapes, which they expect, they • find only
thistles and thorns, the in'erence is, that they have
not planted, as they intended, the vine and the
fig tree. Now the bulk of the population is
in a sad st:.lte of des ilution
.and suffering, and.
there is a w de-spread disturbance calling fur the
exertion of the military and police. It requires all
the energies of the middle and upper classes to save
their property. It puts the public to great additional
expense and inconvenience. These are undeniable
facts, and being great and serious evils, what must
the system be which bears them ? They are much
more the consequence of our laws than the extension
of cultivation, which is only supposed to grow from
them. In forming our opinion of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S
plans, and his capabilities of governing, we must no
more omit this present disturbance and its conse-
quences, than the present introduction, of which he
boastF, of a few thousand quarters of corn. To sup-
pose he can escape from the dilemna, by hurling false
accusations at the Anti-Corn-law League, or against
restless agitators is absurd. He was bound to be aware
that disturbances might ensue, and to take as much care
to prevent that misery which makes the people the
tools of demagogues, as to provide a remunerating
price for farmers. He may have effected the latter,
he has not the former ; and the present insurrection is
the condemnation of Sir R. PEEL. The terrible evil
exists—it is tenfold greater than all the evils he has
warded off by the laws which has brought this on—
and the preent condition of the people proves him
to be a most short-sighted politician.

(From. our Afternoon Edition of Saturday.)

Great activity has prevailed throughout the whole
of the morning at the Home-office, where intelli-
gence was received at an early hour from the dis-
turbed districts.. The gentlemen who arrived were
introduced, and had interviews with the principal
Ministers. In the first part of the forenoon, orders
were issued to summon a Cabinet Council, to meet at
the Foreign-office at twelve o'clock. Soon after that
hour Sir ROUERT PEEL, the Duke of WELLINGTON,
iir JAMES GRAHAM, and other Ministers arrived;
dl, however, were not present, some having left
-own previously. Communications have also been
brwarded from the Home-office, to the authorities at
he Horse G uards.

After the breaking up of the Cabinet Council this
afternoon, Sir ROBERT PEEL left town for Windsor
Oastle, where, it is understood, a Privy Council will
ae held this evening.

Several companies o the Guards, 4nd also some of
he Royal Artillery are under orders for the North.

The hints thrown out by. Sir JAMES GRAHAM on
Friday in the House of Commons respecting public
meetings, are by no means of a nature to increase the
_tonfidence of the country in a Tory Government.
Cautiously as the Right Hon. Baronet felt his way ;
liscreet and guarded as were his remarks ; and dex-
terously as he endeavoured to conceal their full im-
oort ; still we can gather enough—first, from what
ae did say, and secondly, from what he refrained
from saying—to convince us that it is his intention
henceforth to look sharply after public meetings,
and to weigh Nell the language spoken at them,—
with a view or discovering whether it may not
afford scope for the mild and righteous in-
terference of the ATTORNEY-GENERAL. He seems
—considerate creature !—to entertain no earthly ob-
jection to public meetings, so long as they are con-
ducted in a spir it unobjectionable to the party with
which he acts; but if stern and unceremonious truths
happen to be blurted out ; if things are pourtrayed
as they really exist, and not as they appear to pur-
blind Tory eves ;—then, the Right Hon. Baronet
will feel it his duty to exercise a strict supervision,
and give a Legal hint or two that the " naked
truth is e xceedingly unlovely," and not to
be spoken it all times with impunity. Sir
JAMES GRAN -AM has become wondrously sensitive
of late. We are old enough to remember the time
when " inflarn ma,tory language "—as he somewhat
vaguely styles it—occasioned him not the slightest
mental uneasiness ; but when, as a member of the
Reform Government, he rather encouraged its utter-
ance than otherwise. We do not find that in the
-memorable year 1832, when the most violent anti-
Tory meetings were held all over the country ; and
language was made use of, such as was never used
before, and has. never been used since ;—we do not
find that in that year of universal agitation, the Right
Hon. Baronet, as an influential Cabinet Miniskr, Pzot
up in his place in the House of Commons, and formally
protested against such inflammatory language ! Still
less do we find that he threw out, hints about the
necessity of exercising a supervising authority, with
a view effectually to check the expression of such sen-
timents. No.; and the roason is obvious. The lan-
guage, " inflammatory " as it was, was then all on his
own side the question. Its vehemence furthered the in-
erests of his own party. It was specially directed against
the Tories, whom, in those days, he did not look on
with his present eyes of esteem and reverence. But
now the case is widely different. Circumstances have
altered, and he, like a sensible man, must alter Nil ith
It is his duty to look to • the interests of
Number One ; and the interests of that deeply-
:herished Number are j eopardied, when " inflamma-
,:ory language" is directed against that party from
.vhich he derives the inestimable privilege
if making his bow at the Treasury, four
Imes a year on Quarter-day. This, we believe, to
,e one of the main reasons of the Right Hon.
Baronet's new-born horror of "inflammatory lan-
;nage." But the truth will out, in spite of him.
_lass legislation will still , continue to be denounced
.t public meetings, and monopolists to be pourtrayed
u„their proper colours, no matter how strict be the
upervision that it may please Sir J. GRAHAM to
exercise. Check the ebullition of popular feeling in
Manchester, and it will instantly break out in
ilasgow. Crush it in England, and it will bid
defiance to you in Scotland. Lop off one of the
heads of the Hydra, and a hundred others
will sprout up to alarm and confound you.
Are the people to suffer, and not be allowed the poor
arivilege of complaint ? Are they to groan under
ibuses, and not express their opinions of such abuses?
Are they to starve, and be silent ? And all because
a Home Secretary—who was once a Whir, and some-
thing more, and now styles himself a Tory, and some-
thing less—has a nervous horror of " inflammatory
language ?" We have written warmly on this sub-
ject, because we feel persuaded that more is meant
than meets the eye, in Sir JAMES GRAHAM'S insidi-
ously worded declaration on Friday. Anticipating
apparently, many animated public meetings during
the recess, where the sentiments expressed will be by
no means favourable to the Tory system of class
legislation, we are not without apprehension that he
and his party will use their utmost endeavours to re-
press, as far as in them lies, all manly expression of
public sentiment, under the plausible pretext of pre-
serving public tranquillity.

We cannot but express our regret that her
MAJESTY'S advisers did not consider it their duty to
make some reference to the progress of the war in
China in the speech from the Throne with which she
closed the late session of Parliament. True there
would have been something very inconsistent in in-
forming the Legislature that her MAJESTY continued
to receive "from all Foreign Powers assurances of
their friendly disposition towards this country, and
in the next paragraph admit that we were at war
with 360 millions of people, constituting one of the
most powerful monarchies in Asia. Our trade
with China has long been one of the most im-
portant branches of our foreign commerce; and
the last Overland Mail brought the sad in-
tern -ence that, owing to the desultory way i
in which the war has been carried on, and the
41ence observed as to what is really to be achieved
by it, not only all the regular trade, but nearly the
whole of the smuggling along tf:e coast from the
Macao roads to Ningpo has been destroyed. Surely
it is not intended that our war with China is to be
conducted on the model of the war of succession in
Spain? It i not meant that we shall keep skirmish-
ing with the Chinese till we teach them to beat us, by
the adoption of our system of warfilre? Nor can re-
gard for the safety of the public service be pi<edied for

THE SUN, LONDON, MON

The Imper!•11
son of "leaven ar.,l cother of the sun and moon" by
no Ambassador at our Court to convey the Royal Speech
to Pekin, and even if he had Nye have little doubt
that the " vermilion pencil" would be employed in
writing an edict dooming the bearer of such an insult-
ing document to loose his button, and seek a resi-
dence on the north side of the Great Wall.

86mething more explicit was called for relative. to
the war in Afghanistan than an expression of regret
for the Caubut massacre, and a compliMenttothe
gallant General SALE and the heroes of •Xellalabad.
Am assurance that in withdrawing-from that country
we. Should retire with hono_ur-xas,_`required to satisfy
even those who, like ourselves, think that our troops
might, be better employed within our own_ territory
than in fighting the battles of rival barbarian chiefs
west of the Indus. Enough was known by the Govern-
ment not to have allowed Parliament to separate
without some word of explanation upon a subject
which, throughout India, is exciting a very distres-
sing interest. _ _

Lord ASHBURTON has surely been long enough in
Washington feasting Members of Congress, and
turning the heads of candidates for the Presidency
with his " dinners served .on gold plate," and his
" sixteen tall footmen in magnificent liveries "—the
envy of the greatest men of " the greatest nation in
all creation"—to have afforded the Government an op-
portunity of making allusion to his diplomatic labours
in the Royal Speech. Yet there is not a syllable
about his Lordship's mission in the QUEEN'S Speech.
Nevertheless New York Papers of the 25th ult.,
received this morning, assure us that Lord ASHBURTON
has not been idle, as the boundary question is about
to be settled. The line agreed upon does not differ
much from the award of the ex-Kin.,- of HOLLAND,
mid in what it does, the advantage is supposed to be
in our favour, save that the United States is to have
the free navigation of the St. John's River, although
both banks of the river below the Great Falls will
belong to great Britain. In time of war, therefore,
the navigation of the St. John's would be, in the case
of the United States, a dead letter.

We regret further, that her Majesty has not told
us that her Government is taking measures for a
friendly co-operation with the Great Powers, to re-
4ore tranquillity to Syria. NeVer were the Chris
tians in that country so -persecuted as since we re-
stored them to. the dominion of the Turks. As we
were the instruments for reducing 'them to such
misery, we tire bolind to afford them.some succour.
Now; ve cannot believe but that this might be done
without disturbing the peace of Europe. France, we
know, will readily support us in ootaining any relief
for the Christian inhabitants of Lebanon. .
We dislike the introduction of extraneous matter
in a Royal Speech, but we cannot regard in that
light a fatal event which
,has thrown a gloom of
sorrow over a great neighbouring country. Consider-
ing the events to which it has given rise there, in the
convocation of an extraordinary session of the Cham-
bers, and the condolence of all classes, we cannot but
regret that the Quutot was not advised to give public
expression to her feelings of sorrow and those of her
people, in the solemn and national presence of her
Parliament. Such an act would have tended greatly.
to soothe the sorrow of an afflicted family, and ex-
torted the praise of a brave and chivalrous, although
choleric people. .

We have received. the whole of the Paris Papers.
The discussion upon the Address in the Chamber
commenced late, the sitting having been occupied
with the election of M. DE GIRARDIN, who was ad-
mitted. The four paragraphs of the Address were
then voted, and of course the Address itself. The
leading articles of the French journals severely criti-
cise it.
The Commerce gives the following account of a
circumstance said to have occurred on Monday, but
orwhich we had not previously heard :
"'The King left the Tuileries about half-past four
o'clock to return' to Neuilly. Between the Place de la
Concertle and the Bond Point of the Champs Elysees
the 'holies ran away, and the right -hand reins were
found broken on the carriage being stopped near the
basin, bUt whether this was the cause or the consequence
of the running away is not known. The Duke de Ne-
mours and the Prince de Joinville were followini, his
Majesty in a caleche. They got out, notwithstanding
the assurances of the King that it was not necessary, and
the Prince de Joinville got into the King's carriage to
embrace him. Ilis Majesty did not show the least signs
of alarm. A crowd was beginning to collect, when the
reins were mended, and the two earriages proceeded on
their way without further impediment."
The Madrid Journalti are of the 4th and those of Bar-
celona of the sth. Nothing important had occurred
at Madrid, but at Barcelona - the projects of the Joval-
lenists still engage the public attention. Meetings of the
Moderados had taken place at Barcelona to celebrate
the anniversary of the- birthday of Queen Christina.
Officers of the army had taken part in them. Several
of 7 them have been deprived of their commissions, and
others arrested. The brother of Maroto, was one of
them. This latter having obtained from the Governor
of the citadel leave to. go' out on his parole, has, it is said,
gone-on board one of the French ships stationed there.
The day before yesterday there was a kind of riot at
Montrone, at the place where the fortifications are
being executed. The following was the occasion :—Some
English mechanics have invented a machine for tra-
velling the .ground, by the aid of which two men
do the work of twenty workmen. The labourers,
t 4, whom this machine does serious injury, soon
collected together, and uttered threats against the
English. The peasants in the environs joined them,
and the assemblage began to assume an alarming ap-
peatance. The authorities, being informed of what
was passing, immediately took measures to restore order.
A number of Municipal Guards, police-officers, and
troops of the line, were sent to the spot ; and, thanks to
this display of energy, the disorder immediately ceased.
The machine now acts without hindrance.
it is reported at the Hague, that the King of Holland
has resolved to grant entire amnesty to all those who,
during the list • reign were pimished with fine and im-
prisonment, for having taken part in religious meetings
not legally authorised. It may be recollected that these
condemnations, which were every where very numerous
under the Government of William 1., did not a little
contribute to make the old King unpopular.—Le Com-
