opritur of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
ri:o3l THE 'EVENING PAYERS OF THIS DAY.
GLOBE.—The Anti-Corn-law League held a
meeting on Thursday at Manchester, when 1VI:r.
C0134,.ui made a very powerful and effective
speecit in favour of" total and immediate repeal;"
for which it seems the League are determined
to use the utmost energy in contending. The
coat dente whlch is shown by the Corn-law Re-•
eaters in the justice of their cause affords the
test ground fbr anticipating their ultimate
sac,- ass. They appear anxious to impreAs
oth:tl.s with the truths of which they are them:-
belt es convinced ; feeling assured that the
prilciples they hold, when once fairly brougit
bef: ;re the public, cannot fail to-be recognised.
Th.:. re is no doubt that, feeling as they do thejustice
of fteir cause, the Anti-Corn-law party will
sac 'oecl in bringing conviction to the minds al
othk2rs. It need hardly be said, that if the people
once fairly determine on the necessity for total:
repeal, there will be no possibility of withholding
it. As Mr. Cobden well observed, the House of
Co:amons " answers to the changes in public
°pi:lion as sensitively, and almost as instantly, as
the vessel on the ocean answers to its helm."
But it must be the opinion of the public in
its widest sense, and not the conviction of a
party, however numerous and respectable, that
wit t guide the conduct of the people's repre-
ser. tatives. It is for this reason that Mr. Cob-
den is desirous of making that which is the
• lion of those who have, without prejudice
we.glied the subject, the opinion of the nation
at large. When this result is achieved, he
knows that his cause must triumph. He has
fait in the excellence of the arguments to be
ad, aced in favour of repeal, and for this reason
he recommends "publishing them in news-
pa and stitching them in magazines month
aft .r month, in order that the people may be
te: ipted and forced to read them. If they were
fal acies that he thus proposes to disseminate,
th, y would never work their way to the convic-
tic. is of the people; but knowing them to be
trt:ths, he will not be deceived in the hope that
the. greater the energy shown in circulating
them through the country, the sooner will the
tin .• arrive for their being adopted and acted on.
STA ND ARD.—From the intelligence brought
by the Overland Mail, it seems to be certain
the-: Lady Sale and her fellow-prisoners are not
mcrely well, but kindly treated. They are
pin ced in a fortress of considerable extent, at a
di: :trice of four or five miles of Caubul, and in
ads! tion to the full liberty of the whole circuit
of this fortress, they are permitted to make
excursions at pleasure in the neighbourhood, and
to the city, while all their comforts are amply
pr(.vided for. What adds infinitely to the grafi-
tion which these facts afford, is the knowledge
th: t the kind treatment of the prisoners is no
efl.-et of a tyrant'a caprice, or policy, but the re-
tail tof a necessity on his part. The people and
the clkiefia, upon whom he is dependent for
eve ey hour of life, feel the true nature
of heir position—feel that they are utterly in-
etri4ble of offering any resistance to the ap-
prt-fa,ehing• British army : they thus regard the
Tr as hostages, and as indeed the only
se .:or.ty, for their safety, and therefore it is that
they`-compel Akbar Khan to do violence to his
sa- age nature, and treat his captives with hu-
m Already it appears that the prisoners
ax ~,.;treated by the mass of the people as medi-
ae.-es, and expected protectors. Akbar Khan
hi Aself appears to be placed in circumstances of
th • greatest difficulty. Lately he was left without
as ogle supporter among all the associated chiefs,
an t compelled to stoop to become the vizier of a
de cendant of Shah Soojah (the rival of his
fall• er), whom he has proclaimed King, in
ore or to retain either the substance or the
se: iblance of power. Generals Sale and
Pc :lock will know how to avail themselves
of such a state of affairs, and it is not improbable
th .t the march to Caubul, the recovery of the
pr toners, and an honourable peace, may be
of rcted without another shot fired. It does not
di r.inish this probability, on the other hand it
gr any augments it, that the military operations
ag ti ast Caubul are proceeding upon a scale and
wit' c a firmness to ensure success against any
po' Aible amount of resistance. General Nott's
fox -e in Candahar (the western army) are eva-
cut tin; that province (probably finally), but by
an tdvance, and not by a retrograde movement;
thi ' force is marching upon Caubul from the
sot and west, while, on the other side, Ge-
ne ,:ls Sale and Pollock are making active pre-
pa 'ttions to meet their gallant countrymen and
fe, ,w-soldiers at that city. We have already
sp 1t ,-!n of the moral effect produced upon the ix:-
; tants and the neighbouring chiefs by a
klrf ,wledg,e of these movements.

'he first bills returned were as William Moor-
ho Wild, James Wild, Stephen Shirt,
Jo. = Fairhurst, and Samuel Lees, for a conspiracy

one of the Hollinzworth rioters, who asked to
be along with the other conspirators. After the
exa .11nation of the witnesses, and Lord Abinger had
deli ered his charge,
e Jury expressed a wish to retire with reference
to c, le prisoner. They did so at half-past three,und,
tifte-;• an absence of half an hour, returned into Court
wits a verdict of Guilty on all the counts ag inst the
wEt :e of the prisoners, with the exception

'aylor was acquitted, but the Jury returned a
vex' act of Guilty against Martin and Kershaw.
aylor was subsequently indicted for a conspiracy
11arple, and found Guilty.

FRIDAY, OCT. 7.—Several persons were convicted
during the day of unimportant charges of rioting at
Bollington.

APPREHENSION OF MORE CHAR-

TISTS AND RIOTERS AT MANCHESTER.

On Wednesday last, a man named James Chippen-
dale, a journeyman sawyer, living at Halifax, was
apprehended at that town by Feathers, of the Halifax
police. On Thursday night, a man named Thomas
Guest was apprehended in his own dwelling in Sal-
ford. On Thursday, John Eccles, a watchman at the
foundry and works of Messrs. Nasmyths and Gaskell,.
at Patricroft, was apprehended there by Superinten-
dent Wovenden. They were examined at the New
Bailey yesterday, Chartisti'and rioters, and the result
was as follows:
Guest was committed for trial, at the Special As-
sizes, commencing on Monday, at Liverpool, the
amount of bail required being two sureties in 60/. each.
James Chippendale, for conspiracy, was remanded
till to-morrow (Friday).
John Eccles, for sedition, was committed for trial
at the approaching Special Commission; the amount
of bail to be taken being fixed, as in the case of the
three prisoners, Williams, Braid, and Forrest, com-
mitted in August last, for the part they took in the
same proceedings, at two sureties in 601. each.;

GERMAN CUSTOMS UNION.
(From the Canstitutionnel.)

The German Customs Union, such as it exists at
present, was definitively fixed in 1834, and compre-
hends a population of 26,048,970 inhabitants—of
whom 14,319,711 reside in Prussia, 4,319,887 in Ba •
varia, 1,667,901 in Wurtemberg, 1,652,114, in Saxony,
652,761 in Electoral Hesse, 792,736 in the Grand
Duchy of Hesse, 941,580 in the Thuringian Asso-
ciation, 1,264,614 in the Grand Duchy of Baden,
383,730 in the Duchy of Nassau, and 63,936 in the
free town of Frankfort. The consumption of colonial
produce has gradually been on the increase since the
formation of the Union. Thus the imports of sugars
and molasses which, in 1837, was only 422,600 metri-
cal quintals, were, in 1840, 512,136, giving an average
of 2 kilogrammes a head. In 1841, the imports did
not altogether reach 500,000; but, if the quantity of
home-made sugar which has been consumed be added,
there will be 2 kilo. 60 per head, and this average, in
1833, amounted only to 1 kilo. 77. It appears, there-
fore, that the consumption of sugar is almost as great
in Germany as with us. In England it is 8 kilo. per
head; in the Netherlands, 61 kilo.; in Belgium,
21 kilo. ; and in the Austrian Government some-
what less than half a kilo. The imports of coffee were,
in 1839, about 275,900 metrical quintals, being 18,000
more than in 1837, and nearly a kilo. per head . The con-
sumption of tea is insignificant in Germany, and kas been
stationary since 1836. One of the most remarkable
symptoms of the increase of business in the As-
sociation is the prodigious increase of the coal-trade.
In 1831, the quantity raised in Prussia, from the
pits amounted to 13,600,000 metrical quintals; in 1836,
18,000,000, and in 1839, upwards of 24,000,000.
This last quantity is valued at 19,000,000 f., and more
than the half of it was exported. It is the Rhe-
Dan province which for the most part supplies the
wants of other countries, and which furnishes
such large quantities of coal. The whole of the
combustible minerals raised in the year 1839 is valued
at 20,500,000 f., the metals raised at 28,000,000 f.,
and the salt at 6,500,000 f., giving a total of
55,000,000 f. for the whole of the minerals obtained in
the kingdom of Prussia only. In 1835, this amount
was only 36,800,000 f. • the surplus arising principally
from the increase of coals, iron, copper, salt, and
alum. In the amount of 1839, there is not
included the produce of quarries, the asphalt
and quicksilver amounting to 3,600,000 f. more. In
the other States of the Union, the metallurgical
affairs have followed the same upward movement,
and, in this respect, Saxony particularly is on
the increase. Trades and manufactures are also im-
proving, and there is scarcely anything but hand-
weaving that has fallen off. The less important
hranches of manufacture, as well as those of silk, cot-
ton, and wool, are increasing prodigiously. The
comparative revenue of the customs will give a tole-
rably exact idea of this advance. The net receipt of
the customs' duties in the Union, in 1834, was
59,000,000 f. ; in 1837, 74,000,000 f. - and 1839,
83,500,000 f. Of this last amount, there are about
3,500,000 f. of export duties. The articles which have
paid the most are sugars, wines, and tobaccos. These
articles have produced more than 50,000,000 f., manu-
factured articles, and the objects necessary for their
production, have given the rest. It is evident from
this that manufactured goods are not very heavily
taxed. In fact, the cotton threads, which were
brought into the territory of the Union in 1839, and
which represent a value of more than 63,000,000 f.,
paid only 3,500,000 f. duty. After the articles which
we have named came woollen and cotton cloths, articles
in iron and steel, fruits from the south, cattles, silks,
groceries, brandies, oils, corn, &c., as those which
have produced most money to the revenues of the
Union. Prussia, which in 1834 obtained more than
58 per cent of the amount of the custom receipts, in
1839 had only 54 per cent. Bavaria's share was 161
per cent.; Saxony, 6 1-3; Wurtemberg, about the
same; the Grand Duchy of Baden, 4 4-5 ; Electoral
Hesse, 3 ; the Thuringian Association, 3 ; the
Duchy of Nassau, 11 ; and the town of Frankfort
not altogether, 1 per cent. The average of all the
imports for the years 1837, 1838, and 1839, is found
to be 280,000,000 f. The principal imports have been
cotton threads, sugar, coffee, drugs, raw skins, indigo,
silks, cattle, tobacco, &c. The exports also represent
an average sum of 280,000,000 f. for the same period,
and consist principally in cotton goods, amounting to
63,000,000 f. ; corn, 43,000,000 f. ; woollen cloths,
36,000,000 f. ; linen and hemp goods, 34,500,000 E ;
and wrought metals, 17,000,000 f. The manufac-
tured goods, of which the exports have particularly
increased, are cotton and woollen cloths, silks, hard-
ware, and earthenware.

BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, OCT. 7.—Our offices
are well supplied with samples, but the greater part
on show are of a description not wanted. The low
prices of refined goods afford no encouragement to
the manufacturer to work, and the grocery demand
seems to be confined almost exclusively to the better
sorts, which are very scarce. The result is, that
low, grey, and soft sugars are declining daily in
value, whilst any thing good or bright readily fetch
extreme prices.—Bristol Mercury.
DRAYTON MANOR, THURSDAY.—The Earl of Aber-
deen and Lord Stanley hare joined the party assembled
here to meet his Imperial Highness the Archduke Fre-
deric's. of Austria. His Excellency Prince Esterhazy,
the Austrian Ambassador, has left for Chandos House.

Dr. Whitfield, the botanist, has lately returned
from Africa, with a large collection of rare plants and
animals. They have been consigned to Knowsley Park.
The Doctor has devoted upwards of a quarter of a century
to his favourite pursuit, and in the course of that time
has visited the, four quarters of the globe. His last voyage
was undertaken expressly at the request of the Earl of
Derby, who has in his menagerie many objects totally
unknown in our public collections.

EER MAJESTY'S BRIGANTINE BONETTA.-010 atten-
tion having been directed to an account given in the In-
dependent, of the 2d April last, of an action between the
boats of the Bonetta, and an armed slaver, we find that
we entirely omitted the name of a gallant officer, Mr.
Macleod B. Cockraft, Mate, who was at that time iu
command of the Bonetta, Lieutenant Austen beinz in
sick quarters at Ascension, and Mr. Kenyon not having
joined when the action took place.—Devonport lndepen.
SHEERNESS, OCT. 4.—An order has been received
here to increase the complement of the Camperdown to
the peace establishment crew ; she will therefore carry
620 men. Volunteers are coming forward smartly for
the navy ; the Ocean has now a full complement of men,
who have been entered for general service, and in conse-
quence of their coming forward so fast they are drafting
all the Ist class boys from the Ocean to the Camper-
down. A number of very fine young fellows are amongst
the general service volunteers at this port, which gives a
very striking proof that the new regulations in the ser-
vice are duly appreciated by them.—Devoifort In depend.
The Marquis and Marchioness of Waterford, after
a residence of a fortnight at Ford Castle, Northumber-
land, have taken their departure from that ancient ba-
ronial mansion. The Noble Marquis and Marchioness
were escorted to the extremity of their estate by the
stout yeomanry on his' Lordship's demesne on horse-
back ; and, indeed, their leave was only equalled by the
enthusiastic display with greated their arrival at the
Castle from Ireland. Many of the poor cottagers have
been visited by the amiable Marchioness, accompanied
by the Marquis, and we happy to hear, by their consi-
derate benevolence, the hearth of many a humble cot-
tage has been gladdened.
The Duke and Duchess of Richmond, Earl March,
and Lady Caroline Lennox, and a party visiting at Gor-
don Castle, were to leave that princely seat on Tuesday
last, for Inverness, to be present at the Northern Meet-
ing. The Noble Duke is patron of that, annual exhibi-
tion of Highland games, and the Marquis of Douro, Lord
Lovat, Lord Ward, Hon. W. Fraser, Cluny Macpherson,
I and The Chisholm, are the stewards this year. The
meeting was to commence on Wednesday last.
Two eagles of extraordinary beauty have lately
been shot by sportsmen in the environs of Mans (Swale).
One is the Falco branchydactylus' which was brought
down at Coulaines, and the other aFalco haliactus, killed
at Yvre-le-Poulin. This list, when struck, had in its
talons a carp of two pounds weight.
The Marquis and Marchioness of Normanby, after
visiting the Duke of Devonshire at Chatsworth, and
Earl Fitzwilliam at Wentworth House, went to Ravens-
worth Castle, Durham, the seat of her Ladyship's
father, Lord ltavensworth, to join the distinguished circle
invited to meet their Royal Highnesses the Duke of
Cambridge and Duchess of Gloucester. Her Royal
loanucdesatesre,kcatccpoamrtpy,
leftied the
Highness R
D_uachyeenssmvort
of
Lord and Lady Gli
Castle on Tuesday last, attended by Lady Caroline
Legge, for Alnwick Castle, to honour the Duke and
Duchess of Northumberland with a visit. The Royal
Duchess was received' with all the honours due to her
elevated station.
Yesterday Mr. Blackburne received an official noti-
fication of his appointment to the Mastership of the
Rolls. We hear it is likely that Alphabet Smith will
advance to the Attorney-Generalship—a very sudden
jump from the Solicitor-Generalship.—D /46411E1:en. Post.

FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.
At the Court at Windsor, the 24th day of September,
1842, present, the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty in
Council. It is this day ordered by her Majesty in Coun-
cil, that the Parliament be prorogued from Thursday, the
