TO THE RIGHT HON. SIR ROBERT
PEEL.

- _
SUNDAY EVENING, AUGUST 14, 1842.
SIR ROBERT While out this evening, I acciden-
tally passed a portion of the Birmingham Railway,
where, observing an unusual number of people looking
over the wall, I inquired the reason, and had for
answer, " The soldiers are coming." I stopped with
the others to see " the soldiers.' In a few minutes
a noise was heard somewhat between a rumble and a
rattle. The train slowly approached—it had not
fairly started. 'Some of the poor soldiers had their
caps out, attempting to cheer. Oh I it was a miser-
able attempt ! ! In what manner, think you, Sir
Robert, were your helpless minions received ? I was
attentively watching. The male spectators hissed and
spit at them; the females were in tears ; one of the
latter turned to me, and sobbingly said, " They are
going to shoot the poor starving weavers ; but they can't
help it, they must go, it's all P eel's fault."
When the train and the excitement had passed, all
seemed to concur in the idea that the soldiers were not
in fault, but that the blame and the blood would rest
at the door of the man to whom the emolument of
office was as nothing, the man who was content to
"do the state some service," having in return the
hallow of an " honest fame." God forbid that ever
I should have such honest fame attached to my name.
Honest !! ! Here is a specimen of your honesty.
I give you, Sir, a statement of the rental of two or
three farms, taken at random from a list which de-
notes the action in a national view.
The farms here alluded to were all let in 1841, anal
are situated in the parishes of Dunse, Fogo, and
Chirnside, county of Berwick.
Previous Rental. Rent al in 1841
First Farm £1,402 14 8 £2,006 14 0
Second l,OOO 0 0 1,350 0 0
Third

Total

Total increase £1,393 19 4
Here, Sir, we have an increase of upwards of X 1,393
in the rental of three farms alone,' which may be
taken as a fair average of the rise throughout the
United Kingdom. This I could prove by many ,
examples ' • the farms of the Duke of Marlborough in
Wiltshire for one ; but you are aware of the fact.
Now, Sir Robert, I ask you, from whence is this
enhancement of rental derived ? I -pay to the baker
and butcher 3s. per week more than I should have to
do were the food not withheld by you ; the baker
and butcher pay this 3s. per week to the rearers of
corn and cattle ; the rearers of corn and cattle then
pay it over to you, and such as you, as a portion of
the 1,3931. advanced rental. Remember, however,
Sir Robert, while you constrain me to pay this 3s.
per week extra, you not only violate my only pro-
perty (labour), but you prevent my wife from buying
many a gown and frock for herself and my dear
children; those gowns and frocks not being bought,
spinners and weavers starve, they cry for bread, and
you send them soldiers by the Birmingham Railway.
Sum this up. Filch from such as myself who are
helpless, 3s. per week, stop the demand for cotton,
&c., starve the spinners and weavers ; render them
, desperate, slaughter them, and all for " honest
M
fame." Most respectfully-,
A TIN-PLATE WORKER.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.
CITY, MONDAY EVENING.
Scarcely any business has been going on forward in
the Funds to-day, and prices must therefore be con-
sidered to be nominal. Although the prices have
)a
de-
clined consequent on the accounts from the north,
still, from the smal uctuation, and the absence of any
large operations, it ybe inferred that no great degree
of apprehension exists of the results, while the mercan-
tile men deeply regret the circumstances which must
necessarily occur before tranquillity be completely re-
stored.
Consols were 914 91i for Money and the Account ;
Bank Stock, 169 171 ; Bank Stock, 249 251; Exche-
quer Bills, Old, 51 53 ; New, 49 51 prem.

has been the day for settling time bargains in those do-
cuments, but as transactions have been at an end since
the withdrawal of the capital created by the forged Ex-
chequer Bills, it has not caused the slightest sensation.

SUN.
14,
Sunday 1842.
Sir,—This morning, at the chapel of the Welling-
ton barracks, St. James's Park, the preacher dis-
coursed from the following text :-
11th verse, 14th chapter of the 2d Book of Chroni-
cles : " And Asa cried unto the Lord his God, and said
Lord, it is nothing with thee to help, whether with
many, or with them that have no power. Help us, Oh
Lord, our God, for we rest upon thee, and in thy name
we go against ells multitude. Oh Lord thou art our
God, let not man prevail against thee."
And he proceeded to exhort the soldiers to do their
utmost in suppressing popular feeling,, and that what-
ever might happen through their instrumentality,
however disastrous, it would never interfere with their
future salvation.—Yours, MODERATUS.
[We hope that this will be contradicted.—ED. Sun.]

REMARKABLE AND UNPRECEDENTED FACT.—RA-
PIDITY OF STEAM NAVIGATION. The British and
North American Royal Mail steamer, the Columbia,
sailed from this port on the evening of the 19th ult., and
arrived at Boston early on the morning of the Ist inst.
The Acadia left Boston on the afternoon of the Ist, and
reached the Mersey in the forenoon of the 13th inst..
bringing replies to letters dated Liverpool, July 19.
The interval between sending the letters and receiving
the replies to them was a few hours more than twenty-
four days. This is, we believe, the most rapid convey-
ance of letters between the Old and the New World ever
known.--Liverpool Albion. -
When the Teviot left Havannah sickness prevailed
to an immense extent on board the shipping in the har-
bour. A large number of English and American Ves-
sels were there, and almost all with their flags half-niast
high. A large number of officers and men had died on
board.

HAMBURGH MAIL.
BERLIN, AUG. I.—lt is said that his Majesty the 1
King of Prussia during his visit to the Russian
court, only once honoured the city of St. Petersburgh
with his presence, and then stopped but for a few
hours. Various conjectures, which, however, are not
suited for publicity, are made on the subject. It is
said that the interest manifested by the northern
capital in the joyful celebration of the 25th anni-
versary of the marriage of its august sovereign, by
no means answers the expectations, that were en-
tertained. The cause is alleged to be the discon-
tent of the Russian nobles who are displeased that
the humane Emperor endeavours more' and more to
civilise his people, because the despotic power which
they have hitherto exercised over their vassals is
thereby diminished.—Dufield Gazette.
CASSEL, AUGUST 3.—The Commission of the navi-
gation of the Weser is to meet this year at Carlshafen.
Deputies take part in the Conference from Prussia,
Hanover, Ilesse, Cassel, Oldenburg, Lippe, Detmold,
and Bremen. The Commissioners do not seem to
expect much from the Conference. The expense of
improving the navigation of the Weser would be very
great on account of the number of shallow places
which would have •to be dispersed, and this is the
great obstacle to be overcome.
ILticovEit, AUGUST B.—The King again left the
capital this morning at eleven o'clock to pass some
days at Celle.
HADIDURGII, AUG. 11.—DUTY ON COTTON TWIST.
—The Prussian State Gazette contains a remarkable
article on the wishes of some cotton-spinners to raise
the import duty on English twist. The writer ob-
serves that the very same complaint was made, and
the same remedy proposed ten years ago; that a Com-
mission was appointed, to which the following ques-
tion was proposed :—" Can the cotton yarn manufac-
tories flourish and increase with the duty now levied
on the importation of foreign twist ?" The answer
of the Commission was, "No, they cannot exist with
the present duty ; an increase of them is not to be
thought of, as experience has proved." The duty has
not been augmented ; and if this measure had been
well founded, there should now, after a lapse of eight
years, be no increase of their establishments in our
country. Instead of this, we find that they are
doubled—nay, that the increase took place at the
very time (1835 and 1836) when all prospect of
higher protection was taken from them, for
some considerable time at least ; that this increase was
effected by extremely costlyestablishments, partly by
the same men, experienced and grown old in their
business, who delivered and signed the above answer,
and now repeat the same complaint. All these con-
tradictions are to be accounted for by the fluctuations
in the cotton manufactures of Great. Britain, and the
great difference in the price of raw cotton and those
of yarn,
The writer adduces various arguments to show that
a duty sufficiently high wholly to render ineffectual
the influence of England would inevitably ruin the
cotton manufacturers, and that nothing could justify
so dangerous an experiment, of risking important
existing establishments which have proved beneficial
to the prosperity of the country, in order to support
others far less important, and which besides could not
exist without the former.
So far as is known the very great majority of the
commercial authorities in the Prussian State, that
have been consulted on this question, have declared
against the augmentation of the import duty on
twist.

STATE OF THE WEATHER
AND CROPS.
Ten days of glorious sunshine have done more to
forward the harvest than we ever remember. By the
close of this week so considerable a portion of the
wheat will be stacked in Norfolk, that little will re-
main, except on the coast. We are happy also to
find that opinion with respect to that abundance of
the crop rises. It seems now to, be thought to be a
full average. The barley crop is very large, and the
second clover wonderful.—Norwich Mercury.
Lymg.--Throughout the whole of West Norfolk,
harvest is now progressing with great rapidity, and
should the weather during the week continue favour-
able, much -wheat, and a considerable quantity of
barley and oats will be carted. The new wheats ap-
pear, for the most part, to be of good quality, and
promise to be of greater weight, upon the average,
than the wheats of the last harvest. Though in some,
places the wheat is rather thin of plant, yet this
seems, in many instances, to be -nearly compensated
by the size and weight of the ears. In the Uplands
of West Norfolk, the wheat is, perhaps, upon the
whole, better than in the Marshland district, and in
many of those fields the wheat is backward, and will
scarcely be fit to cut in a fortnight from this time.
The barley crop in West Norfolk promises generally
to be good, as does also the oat crop, and the beans
and peas have a very fair appearance.—Cambridge
Chronicle.
The long-continued delightful weather has pre-
pared the grain for the sickle generally throughout
this neighbourhood ; much has already been gathered
in, and the remainder is in a forward state. The
crops on the whole may be considered favourable—
rather thin in ground, but good in the ear. By way
of caution to 51eaners we mention an act of dis-
honesty by an individual of this town, who was de-
tected in carrying away three sheaves from the field,
the property of Mr. D. Rutter ; he is now in custody
awaiting the course of justice.--7 Somerset Paper.
The harvest is going on very rapidly, and if the
fine weather holds a few days longer most of the
wheat will be cut in this neighbourhood. The crops
are quite an average. Barley is also excellent, while
the beans are looking luxuriant, and turnips are
favourably progressing.—Cambridge Chronicle.
Tun WEATHER AND THE CROPS.—We continue
to enjoy excellent weather for ripening the crops, and
we are glad to say that, in every district of Aberdeen-
shire, there is the prospect of an early and abundant
harvest. In Buchan, the crop of oats and barley is
rather light, having suffered a good deal from the
grub ; but, in ithe upper districts, they have mostly
escaped the ravages of this destructive insect, and pre-
sent, in general, a most healthy appearance.--Aberdeen
Herald.
Tan HARVEST.—The splendid weather which we
have had during the last month still continues. In
this neighbourhood several fields of oats were cut last
week, and many have since fallen before the reaper.
here and there wheat has been cut; but, generally
speaking, it requires another week or fortnight's ripen-
ing to fit it for the sickle. A friend, who has lately
traversed several parts of the southern division of the
county, speaks of the general appearance of the crops
as most promising, though thin in places, the pasture
lands presenting almost the only exception.—Leeds
Times.
The wheat harvest in the neighbourhood of Aber-
gavenny is, become pretty general, and the song of
praise will be heard amongst our agriculturists for the
bountiful harvest, and genial weather.—Monmouth-
shire Merlin.
The hop-grounds around this town and the neigh-
bourhood present a very rich and beautiful appear-
ance. The bines are literally festooned with blossom,
whilst the plantations have been less liable to aphides
pove the e affording
this year than has been the case for many years past.
The crops look well, and
rnow the
m pick
ans in
of g season is
at hand, the harvest will
remunerating employment to many industrious fami-
lies.—Hampshire Chronicle.
THE HARVEST.—ReaPiIT in this country, is now
general, and farmers are looking forward with much
in some uations anxiety, as as we have bad some heavy rain during the
week. All accounts agree that the crops, generally
speaking, are good, though
Taints are made that the plant is thinsit
.—Canzbrian.m

SUN OFFICE Three o'Cloch.

Though the mining and manufacturing districts
still continue in an uneasy and unsettled state, yet, on
the whole, the intelligence received from them is of a
more tranquil character than could have been hoped
under the circumstances. The sea still runs high, but
the tempest seems to have pretty well exhausted its
fury, and we may shortly expect a calm. From Hanley,
indeed, the accounts furnished by our Correspondent
are, it must be confessed, somewhat ominous, and things
begin to wear a gloomy appearance at Derby and
Nottingham; but we have every reason to believe that
the prompt and vigorous precautionary measures of
Government will effectually, prevent any outbreak in
these towns. As regards Manchester, all is quiet
there ; and the proclamation of the civil authorities,
warning the people of the illegality of their as-
sembling, under existing circumstances, in large
masses, will no doubt have the effect of convincing
them that to attempt to better their condition by
means of a system of lawless agitation is an utterly
hopeless task. The influence of Manchester is great
throughout the manufacturing districts, and we may
calculate with tolerable certainty on finding the
tranquillity that now pervades this metropolis of
the cotton trade extending itself to all the great
towns of the north. Meantime it cannot be de-
nied that the' danger has been most imminent;
and that we shall at all times be liable to its
recurrence, unless Ministers take an early op-
portunity next session of adopting remedial measures
of a far more directly efficacious character than any
that they have passed in the session that has just
closed. Something more is required than an Income-
tax, a Tariff, and a lame and halting Corn-law Bill,
to tranquillize the minds of the working classes; and
if Sir ROBERT PEEL, when next he meets Parlia-
ment, does not meet it with a firm and generous reso-
lution to abandon altogether the system of class legis-
lation, which has Already been productive of such a
world of mischief, and to which vie undoubtedly owe
the origin of Chartism, he will find that a spirit of
disaffection will be roused in the country which it will
be wholly out of his power to checic or control.

We have received the French Papers of Sunday,
but they contain no news, being chiefly occupied with
the ipeeChes of Lord PALMERSTON and Sir ROBERT
PEEL, in the House of Commons on the 10th inst.,
and the disturbances in our manufacturing and
mining districts.
The Committee of the" amber of Deputies appointed
to examine the Regency Bill, held its third sitting yes-
terday. It heard the Marshal President of the Council,.
the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and Keeper of the Seals,
on the whole of the clauses of the Bill. The Committee
adopted unanimously two amendments, the first to the
effect that the Regent shall take the oath, before enter-
ing on his functions, and by a solemn document inserted
in the Bulletin des Lois, the oath shall be repeated before
the Chamber ; the second amendment reduces to forty
days the time within which the Chambers must be con-
voked. The Committee will meet to-day (Sunday) to
hear the report of M. Dupiti"' which will be presented to
the Chamber on Tuesday. The debate may, therefore,
begin on Thursday. The Committee for inquiring into
Elections is summoned for to-day.
The Deputies of the ,wine-growing countries met
yesterday, M. Zesmeres presided. At the meeting there
Were representatives of the following departments :
the two Charente, the Gironde, the G and, the Yonne, the
Herault, the Var, the Saone and Loire, the Upper
Rhine, and some others. The meeting decided that a
committee should be appointed to collect all the docu-
ments necessary for the examination of this important
branch of French agricultur6, an-1 to make to the Go-
vernment all the representations which circumstances
may require, and which may lead to put an end to the
distress of the wine departments.—Le Constitutionnel.
The Ministry, it is said, hesitate to publish a pretty
considerable series of supplementary and extraordinary
credits, calculated to alarm the Chamber as to the state
of our. finances. We have already seen how many
millions were asked by the Minister of Finance. We
will add, that for the war department, the supplementary
credit for Algiers exceeds twenty-six millions. It is
said that, after the Regency Bill is passed, the Chambers
will be prorogued till the 15th of January. The Minis-
try, we see, are resolved to take advantage of the
facilities which the Opposition prepares for it, by setting
aside all political discussion.—Le Commerce.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS,
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
Besides the published accounts from the country,
which are most copious in The Sun of to-day, the
contents of • the private letters have been eagerly
sought after. From these it may be gathered
that the differences are likely soon to be arranged.
One gentleman, whose avocations have obliged him to
visit most of the districts in Lancashire, writes—
" Matters have become more quiet, and scarcely
any apprehension is now felt ; the generality of
the people from the first were averse to the movement •,
and, although labour is still suspended, it is expected
that all causes of complaint between the men and the
masters will be satisfactorily adjusted to -morrow, or
this day. (Tuesday). The intelligence from Liver-
pool gives a very melancholy account of what must
be the effect on trade, if the present system be
persevered in. Vessels are detained, and labourers
discharged, in consequence of the non-arrival of cargo,
all which had been previously ordered, and should by
this time have been received. Business in the
produce market here, as well as among the
warehousemen, is virtually suspended, and the
quantities of goods forwarded into the country Saturday
and yesterday, were smaller than had been known for
years.
