fused to concur in the Vote of the Livery. It
has taken the election into its own hands. We
do not accuse it of party motives, for Mr. Alder-
man HumpnEav belongs to the same party as
Mr. Alderman WOOD. The former, indeed,
seems to have no repugnance to oust his friend.
A spirited man would have declined being the
nominee .of the Court of Alderman iu opposition
to the ivill.of the Livery.

In the eloquent address of M. DE LAMARTINE,
which appeared in our Paper of Wednesday,
there is an observation which, though not new,
deserves now to be impressed on the public for
the sake of its consequence. After describing
the " universal monarchy of intellect, commerce,
industry, and thought," as " nigh and certain,"
he said " the world is changing, and becormes
more and more industrial and democratic. The
one must follow the other." According, there-
fore, to M. DE LAMARTINE—WIIO is nut by birth
or opinion a democrat, but one of the aristocracy
of France, professing ultra-Conservative opi-
nions—democracy is gaining ground in society, in
consequence of the increase of industrial (by
which we understand manufacturing) occupa-
tions, and bringing about, iri conjunction with
commerce, a universal monarchy of intellect and
thought.
In substance M. DE LAMARTINE agrees with
M. DE TOQUEVILLE, another of the French aris-
tocracy, who has been at some pains to demon-
strate the inevitable progress of the democracy,
and to. influence statesmen rather to guide
than resist it. Both speak in accordance
with facts which had previously been in-
terpreted and explained in the same sense by
many English writers, particularly SMITH, who
dwelt on the influence of commerce to raise up a
middle class, and make the aristocracy barter

their power tbr the indulgences which commerce
supplies. The raising up of a middle class is a
step towards demoCracy, and the general fact
which is thus established by the concurrence of
these writers—that commerce and industry are,
in their nature, hostile to aristocracy, and carry
in their train the ascendancy of democracy and
the monarchy, of intellect—teems at this time
with much instruction.
We have never argued the Corn-laws as a
mere question of high and low prices, or. as a
contest between agriculture and manufactures ;
we have always treated it as a question of power
between the Few and the Many. The Corn-law,
like the new Poor-law, was avowedly passed to
preserve
,in the hands of their then possessors
the estates of the aristocracy. It was intended,

as Lord GREY avowed, when he said, in reference

to it, that he would " stand by his order," and,
as Sir EDWARD KNATCLIBULL naively confessed,
to secure the ascendancy of the landed gentry.
Consistently with their avowals, we find their press
continually overflowing- with diatribes against in-
dustrial or manufacturing occupations, denounc-
ing the use of machinery, anathematizing our
town population, and consigning, in their
thoughts and wishes, half the democracy and
their business to annihilation. The Corn-law,
therefore, had and .has a far more impor-
tant aim and scope than merely keeping up
prices and rents; it is intended to keep down
democracy, at whatever cost to the industry, the
commerce, and the peace of mankind. When
we see, as we elsewhere notice, signs of a some-
what better spirit growing u p amongst the lauded
gentry, we almost regret to refer to such a topic;
but the consequence made apparent by the
writers we have referred to, that in endeavour-
ing to keep down the democracy the Legislature
keeps down industrial occupations, and checks the
ascendancy of intellect and thought, is by far
too serious fur us to allow any considerations to
guide our pen but those of truth and duty.
It is such a novelty to find law-makers pro-
fessing themselves quite unable, like the Duke
of RUTLAND, to " form any judgment of the
effects of the laws" they nevertheless ordain,
that we again refer to this expresssion of the
Duke's; and, with a view to make such amiable
modesty more general than at present amongst
his claSs, we
propose to point out some of the
consequences of their legislative efforts to keep
down the democracy. At present, both the agri-
cultural and manufacturing districts swarm with
people earning from 7s. to 12s. a week, or in al-
; most the lowest state of destitution. Whether
they be influenced by demagogues, or by the
factsoafreextremelytheir
tir condition,cr at the lame time that
they peoeodr:
they are extremely
and they are nearly
discontented. The most ultra kind of political
democracy is their
Chartists to a man. It is perfectly clear, there-
fore, that the aristocracy have completely tailed
to put down, or keep in check, the democracy,
though it is to be apprehended they have made
it fierce, intractable, and dangerous. At the
same time, the conduct of the aristocracy has
given just occasion for such severe comments,
that, in spite of old associations, and the posses-
sion of means to dazzle the lower classes, they
are, we believe, no longer loved, and no longer
feared. In fact, their privileges and power are
endangered; while their wealth is lessened,
from the necessity to maintain an ex-
pensive police, by the great number of poor
and discontented there is in the land.
But what would have been the moral conse-
quence of their having allowed industrial occu-
pations free scope? It is calculated that the
mechanical power possessed byEngland is equal to
perform the work of several hundred millions of
human beings as they worked about a century
ago. In other words, the productive power
of the people. of England has increased, within a
century, thirty-fold. Machinery has come more
and more to the aid of man, and has worked fur
him. An increasing proportion of the commu-
nity is in consequence enabled to live without
any or without much personal and irksome toil.
The more machinery supplies the place of
manual labour, the greater will be the increase
of the easy and opulent classes; and
those who live without irksome toil will
be comparatively numerous and powerful. So
striking is this effect of machinery,:that weknow
some persons who believe that it is calculated
gradually to put an end to all mere labourers for
wages, and convert all men into capitalists using,
and living by the produce of, machinery.. At
present the owners of :machinery or capitalists
are amongst the most, influential supporters of
the aristocracy; and the more the use of ma-
chinery is extended, the more numerous will be
the upper . classes, and the more elevated the
general level of society. .
Now, in agriculture few Machines are em-
ployed ; the proportion of manual labourers to
the value produced is ihr greater in agricultural
than lit manufacturing 'labour ; and, by
trying to prevent the increase of manu-
factures, and to promote the increase of agri-
culture, the law has tended to increase the num-
ber of agricultural labourers, and to lessen the
amount of machinery and the number.of machine
owners. It has discouraged the growth of an
opulent class, and has expressly encouraged the
growth of destitute and ignorant men, who are
now the most formidable opponents of the aris-
tocracy. To what extent machinery would have
come into use, both in agriculture and manu-
factures, had there been a perfectly free trade in
food, it is impossible to say ; but we feel assured
that it would have been much more in use than
at present, and that, though it might not, and
would not, have prevented the comparative de-
clension of the landowners, by raising up many
have multiplied through-
to their level, it would
out society the middle
and easy classes, lessened
the Dumber of the destitute labourers, and re-
moved all fears of a violent change. The present
fearful condition of the working classes of Eng-
land is the consequence of laws, of which, when
the law-makers, like the Duke
they were passed,
of RUTLAND, were who'ly unable to appreciate
the effects, but which we now know have, con-
trary to the intention, weakene4aq endangered
the power of the aristocracy, , 7„.r ..:.:: . •
It is to be . apprehended that the aristocracy,
in spite of this experience, will persist . in their
endeavoursto check the progress ofindustry, in the
vain hope of checking the progresSti4deniocracy.
They will attempt, also, tOkeeptiitell(-ct in sub-
mission. They act in general from precedent,

and all precedents must, from the progress of so-
ciety, be drawn from times less skilful and less
enlightened than the present, The vast deve-
lopment of human power by means et
chmery, to which we have ;.; of modern
date; and hence it must happen, without any evil
intention on the part of the Legislator, but
merely from following precedents, that his laws
will be hostile to the progress of manufacturing
industry. This view leads to the conclusion that
those persons who, like Sir R. PEEL, have
risen from the bosom of commerce and then be-
come the partisans of aristocracy—the followers
of precedents which were laid down, and of
opinions which were formed before machinery
came much into use—must, even unwillingly,
and perhaps without knowledge, in supporting
the aristocracy, act in hostility to the spe-
cies of industry which was the source of their
own and their families' greatness. Commerce or
manufactures and democracy going together, ac-
cording to M. DE LAMAIITINE, it is impossible
to direct any blows at democracy, as Sir it. PEEL
dues on behalf of the • aristocracy, without also
aiming at commerce and manufactures. let
Sir R. PEEL, inconsistently, still professes to ho-
nour manufactures.

At a meeting of the Waltham Agricultural
Society, held on Monday, the new Corn Biil and
new Tariff fbrmed topics of observation, and -as,
the President, the Duke of RUTLAND, and the
three hundred gentlemen who sat down to
dinner, have all great interest in these measures,
the public may be desirous of knowing their
opinions. We have pleasure, therefore, in stat-
ing, that the meeting displayed none of those
uproarious exiiiitions which have been imputed
to the agriculturists in other districts, but cordi-

ally assented . to the brief remarks of his Grace,
when lie intimated that he felt no alarm
on the subject, that the farmers must trust
chiefly to Weir own exertions, and by improve-
meats in agriculture and the breed of cattle en-
deavour to aise the greatest quantity of con-
sumable food from the laud. " lie was unable,''
he said, " to form any judgment as to the pro-
bable efiects of the recent changes. The pro-
posers of the alterations were probably in the
saint! predicament; those who raised the cry of
alarm, he was sure, were equally incompetent; and
he therelime advised all to join with him in sus-
pending their judgment till the new plan had a fair
and complete trial." These sensible and con-
ciliatory remarks were received with loud
cheers. The slim* spirit pervaded his allusion
to the admission of foreign cattle, and the meet-
ing seemed to agree with him in the opinion that,
as far as he could discover, there had not been
any material reduction in prices. We rejoice to
see feelings like these prevail among landlords
and farmers, and trust they will in time change
their opinions still further, and admit the justice,
the necessity, and also the policy of making
even greater reductions. The American Minister,
Mr. EVERETT, was present at the dinner,
and on his health being proposed received a cor-
dial welcome. He concurred with his Grace in
doing honour to the negotiators who had con
chided the treaty between England and his na-
tive country, and expressed his confident hope
that the candid and friendly manner in which
the proceedings had been carried on, and the
settlement of a long-disputed and troublesome
question, would have the effect of uniting the two
nations in the bonds of friendship, and promoting
the prosperity and happiness of both. These semi-
( titnentS were responded towith cordial approbation
In the course of his speech Mr. EVERETT alluded
to the new Corn Bill, and stated what has been
frequently adverted to in this Journal, that,
owing to the great distance, and the uncertainty
caused by the sliding-scale, Annarica would
reap but little benefitfrom the modifications. Time
meeting altogether was of a satisfactory descrip-
tion, and highly creditable to the members of
this Society.

The Special Commission appointed for the
trial of the Chartists and Operatives engaged in
the late riots in the northern districts, wilt be
opened on Saturday, at Stafford. There are
many prisoners to be tried, and a Morning Con-
temporary says of them, that " they are all de-
cent, industrious-looking men, and most of them
with large families;' adding, that " Mr. THOMAS
BRUTTON, the Governor of the gaol, speaks
highly of their demeanour,while under his care."
We trust that the Judges appointed to try
these misguided men will evince the same
humane and considerate disposition that
was evinced by Lord DENMAN at York,
and bear in mind that there are occasions
when mercy is the best policy. We are
not such puling sentimentalists es to require that
the laws of the land should be evaded, in order
that those who have set them at nought should
wholly escape retribution; we simply ask that
justice should be administered in a spirit
of becoming leniency—that is to say, with
a careful and earnest regard to all the mi-
tigating circumstances of the case. There
needs no exhibition of judicial severity to
act as a warning. The most efficient warning
will be that which is given by a timely and
prudential display of humanity, so far as is
consistent with a due vindication of the law.
There are many arguments which may be urged
in favour of mitigating the punishment of the
northern rioters—nun y reasons alleged why
justice should relax the frown on her awful
brow 3. They were starving, and they refrained
from the bloody excesses which hunger and
desperation are so apt to prompt. They
imagined themselves aggrieved, and they for-
bore to indulge—to the extent that might have been
anticipated—in " the wild justice of revenge."
Lastly, they had for some days the entire north
in their power; city—town—village—the palace
of the peer, and the factory of the capitalist, lay
alike at their mercy; yet there was no whole-
sale plunder—no incendiarism—none of that
fierce, vindictive spirit which used to distinguish
an English mob in the much lauded-days of
GEORGE THE THIRD ! These are striking facts,
which should not be forgotten when the prisoners
co:lte to be arraigned at the bar of justice.

The accounts from Turkey give more faVour.
able symptoms of the state of that distracted
country, but we fear they evince only a remis-
sion of the fever. The disease appears to be in-
curable. There is no statesman of sufficient ta-
lent or authority to control the intrigues of the
Court, or keep in obedience the Governors of the
distant provinces; and, least of all. to carry into
effect the commercial and political reforms which
are necessary for- the existence of the empire.
Indeed, old MEHEMET ALT may be said to
be the only real bulwark of the tottering
fabric. Friendly interviews are constantly tak-
ing place between him and Turkish Envoys from
Constantinople ; he shows every disposition
to efface from the memory of the SUL-
TAN the dismay caused by the Syrian
expedition, professes the utmost loyalty and at-
tachment to the SULTAN, and is busily engaged
in manning and exercising his fleet, with a view,
as some state, of placing it at the service of his
Imperial master. Sudden changes like these, how-
ever, are suspicious, and no doubt excite the vigi-
lance and anxiety of the different representatives
froin Foreign Powers at the Ottoman Court ; for,
notwithstanding all appearances, the SULTAN HIUSt
:.rust ultimately to them tbr protection. They
have certainly no easy task, and will have no
little difficulty in balancing different interests, so
as to prevent this worn-out and disjointed empire
front becoming a prey to its powerful and ambi-
tions neighbours.

By the arrival of the Levant Mail, we have
news front Persia, Syria, Egypt, Turkey, and
Malta. From Constantinople the accounts are
to the 7th inclusive, conveying the intelligence
that since the disinis-z:al of the Grand Vizier,
IzzET, a great number of changes had taken
place in the provinces, as well as at Constan-
tinople. By an Imperial firman of the 4th,
the late Grand Vizier was appointed Governor
of Adrianople and of the provinces of Tchirmen,
in the place of SAID PACHA ; the latter was
.transferred to the Government of Angora;
ESSAD PACHA, former Muschir of Aleppo,

was invested with that, of the provinces of Saida,
Tripoli, and Syria; IsgAIL PACHAi ex-Mus-

rescript, together with a decoration, similar to
that worn by the Grand 'Vizier, as delivered,in
the presence of the SULTAN, to SAMI PACHA,
WhO was to sail in a few days fur Alexandria.
• The private letters from Beyrout are dated
the 4th inst. On the 20th Ult., MAILUMED PACHA,
011 hearing that some misunderstanding had
occurred between sonie of the Christian chiefs
in kesrouau, had taken possession- of Gilazir,
under pretence of restoring order; so that the
Turks may now be considered musters of the
three most important points in the Mountains.
The French squadron, under Admiral LA
SUSSE, left that harbour on the 3d inst. for
Smyrna, and the British ships Vanguard and
Cambridge were to have sailed for Alexandria
on the 4th. The best understandiog had sub-
sisted between the commanders of the two
squadrons during their stay at Beyrout. The
.Jlktipe chiefs were still prisonert:, but treated
with the greatest kindness by the PAcHA and
Beys. The building of the Protestant Church
at Jerusalem was going on slowly; Bishop .I.ILEX
ANDER V. as not yet entirely recover from his
recent illness.

The accounts from Malta of the 15th inst. an-
nounce the arrival there on the 13th from
lieyrout of Lord CASTLEREAGII and suite in the
Pinenix steamer.

Lieutenant PLACE, of the Queen, had lately
been tried by court-martial and honourably ac-
quitted. The squadron was expected to go to
sea in a few days. _ _ _

The intelligence from Alexandria is of the 6th
inst. The crews of the different vessels compos-
ing the Egyptian fleet having been paid one
year's arrears on the 28th ult,, three ships of the
line were towed out by the steamer Nile, and on
the 2d inst. six more, with three frigates, two
brigs, and four corvettes followed. The fleet
was cruising in sight, 'communicating with the
land by means of two steamers. Ou the 9th,
immediately after the. departure of his daughters
for Cairo, MEHEMET ALI intended to repair on
board the Admiral's ship, and to remain at sea
during five or six days. The PACHA had been
suffering during some days from want of sleep.
and expected to derive some benefit from the
freshness of the sea air.

IBRAHIM PACHA was shortly expected in Alex-
andria. SAID EFFENDI, the Turkish Envoy sent
at the time from Constantinople to regulate the
accounts of the administration of Syria, was still
at Alexandria. The PACHA treated him with
great attention, and often took him out in his
carriage.

According to letters from Cairo of the 4th inst.
mortality among the cattle in the chiftliks of the
PACHA had been of late very considerable. No
less than 13,000 oxen had died there, and 2,700
on the lads of IBRAmiu PACHA. Not a single
beast bad sure ved on those of SAMI PACHA. It
was accordingly feared that the ehiltiiks could
not be cultivated this year.
The Nile had at that date reached the height
of 22 cubits.

The French papers received, with the ex-
ception of the Journal des Debats, are chiefly
occupied with domestic subjects. ' That journal
contains a long article on the late change or
Ministry at Constantinople and the present state
of the Christian populatum throughout the Otto-
-111:111 empire, and contends, that from France
aloiie they can expect sympathy and protection,
From the Turkish Government, the writer adds,

they can expect Hone, for it is the victiut of an
incurable disorder, and no skill can ward* off the
derail blow. The Constitutionnel contains a
long statement of the revenues and expenses of
the French Post-office, and proposes that the
whole system should be reviewed and a reasonable
Lbateineil . made on the postage of letters. The
nplilet of General BUGEAUD still affords topics
for discussion. The Commerce infers, from the
singular statements it contains, that there is a
a division hi the Cabinet, and that, unless some
new accidents occur, the present Ministry will
not meet another session of the Chambers.
They had on the 25th sustained two defeats in
the electoral colleges—M. DE SALVANDY and M.
DUPONT DE L'EURE, the Ministerial candidates
having being rejected by the colleges of Nog-eat
de Rotron and Bernarg and Brienne.
The Armoricain of Brest of the 24th inst. an-
nounces that the Prince de Joinville and the Duke
D'Aumale were expected on the 10th of October at
Brest, where they would embark in the Belle Poule
frigate for Lisbon. There they are to be joined by
the Ville de Marseille line-of-battle ship, on board
which M. de Lansdorf is to take his passage for the
Brazils. The Duke D'Aumale would part from his
brother at Lisbon, and sail in a steamer for Algeria,
and the Belle Poule and the Ville de Marseille would
continue their vo=yage to Rio Janeiro. According to
La France, the 1 rench Government contemplated re-
calling M. de Varennes, the French Minister at
Lisbon, in consequence of the apathy he was accused
of having shown during the negotiation of the treaty
lately concluded between Great Britain and Portugal.
The Moniteur of the 27th has no otiScial part.
The Indicateur, of Bordeaux, of the 25th says :
"We are informed that the misfortune which we
announced respecting a barque containing sixty vil-
lagers going to Listrac is not so fatal as -we believed;
it-seems that there were only twenty-two persons on
board, and that several of them were saved.'
A letter from Oran of the 10th of September,
which has only reached us to-day, confirms that the
`new hostile measures of Abd-el-Kader are- of more
importance than the last report of General Bugeaud
would allow. The actions in which General d'Ar-
bouville was engaged near Tekedempt were very
serious ; several battalions of regulars were observed
among the Arabs. Accordingly the Governor-
General, after receiving these reports at Mostaganem,
hastened to send the Phare to Algiers to countermand
the movement of troops prepared for a continuation
of operations which these events had interrupted.
The Pbare met the Euphrate and the Vaulour
steamers, which were coming to take on board the
Ist Regiment of the line in the province of Oran, and
transmitted to them orders to return to Algiers.
Our letter from Oran says in conclusion It is
announced that a pretty considerable number of
tribes have again taken part with Abd-el-Kader.
Tracts which were lately covered with tents belonging
to tribes allied to us are now desertqd. The several
actions which have taken place show that Abd-el-
Kader has succeeded in collecting a force which it
is absolutely necessary to repulse to a distance."—Le

We have heard it stated that the long-established
an wealthy firm of Baring, Brothers, and Co., have
returned their F otits to the Income-tax Commission-
ers, on the average of the last three years, at less than
1504 and that they have requested the proper autho-
rities to send clerks to examine their books and
ascertain the correctness of the returns. This strange
circumstance is attributed to their dealings with some
of the repudiating States of America. It cannot, how-
ever, affect the stability of the house, for some of the
partners are kno►vn to be the richest merchants in the
world, but there are thousands of rich firms in this
country which could not afford to make such a return.
