LONDON :
MOND k.Y MORNING. NOVEMBER 14, :1842.

Tr. O'Coxxon, and every other demagogue, is
I%.proached with seeking rower by flattering the
passions and prejudices of the people. To flatter
lion and prejudice, therefore, in order to gain
power, is an immoral thing, worthy of reproach.
Li what respect, however, does Sir ROBERT PEFL
differ from Mr. O'Coxxort ? He first flattered
the passions and the prejudices of the landowners
the Conservatives to gain, and he still con-
tinues to flatter them to keep, power. He gives
i.%; his own opinions and adopts theirs.
We are aware, indeed, of one great difference
between the men. It is not said, and certainly
not proved against Mr. O'Comkton, whatever may
ho surmised, that he is not hearty and sincere in
believing that the scheme of policy vhich he
proposes, and which would confer power on hitn,
would be very beneficial to the community at
large. But it is asserted by Sir R. PEEL that it
would be fbr the advantage of the community for
individuals to he allowed to buy always at the
ch:atpest market, and. yet he opposes their demands
out of' deference to the men he serves. Mr.
O'CoNNon may be sincere in his flatteries and in
his appeals to the prejudices of the multittide..
Sir R. PEEL is insincere in succumbing to the 1
prejudices of the landowners, and this moral dif-
ference between the two is all to Mr. O'Cort-
NOR's advantage.
There is another difference betwixt them which
is oponsi-dered extremely favourable to Sir R.
Pear., though it appears to have no moral recom-
tymdation. Mr. O'CoNrion flatters the preju-
dices and passions of the multitude, in order to
irca, if he can, great political chanfres • Sir R.
doe- s the same thing to prevent such
otiaziges. He wishes to keep institutions as they
are, .'or only slowly and covertly, as in the case of
the Canada Corn law, to alter them. It is
re(4toned a merit in hint to stand by old institu-
tioas, and a demerit in Mr. O'CoNNoa that he
Wiii.eS to alter them.
The praise of the one and the blame of the
other is just, if the old institutions be good, and
lb proposed institutions bad, not otherwise.
Now no man can foretell with perfect certainty
that Mr. O'CONNOR'S plan would lead to evil,
all the moderate and the influential
clasz;ea believe it would; at the same time, it is
quite certain that the laws and institutions which
SirROBERT ?EEL upholds, have caused
great evil to society. Look at the load of taxa-
tion which is part of their produce. Look
at the gross ignorance, chilling poverty, and ex-
treme misery of great multitudes of the people,
which those institutions have been expressly
trained to prevent, and have not prevented.
Look at the State protecting, the clergy, who
preach poverty as a virtue, in extortinm, year
after year, an immense revenue fromb a
starving people. Look at the landowners,
secured in a monopoly of the soil, making that
advantage a pretext, and passing laws to carry
out the pretext, for stinting Ile people's food,
and stifling their trade. Look at the upper
cla,ses, particularly the landowners, claiming

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.)
The Lord Chancellor did not take his seat in his
Court at Westminster to•day till nearly half-past 11
o'clock.

THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. THE CORPORATION OF

LUDLOW. —JUDGIU EN T.
The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in
this case, in which the information had been filed for
the purpose of obtaining the sanction of the Court to
carry into effect a compromise for the exchange of
certain lands belonging to the Corporation of Ludlow,
for which purpose an Act of Parliament had passed.
The question for the consideration of the Court was,
whether the compromise would be beneficial to
the charity ; his Lordship thought that it would be
so, but as the identity of the lands granted
to the Corporation by the Charters of Edward IV.
and Edward VI., had not, in his Lordship's opinion,
been sufficiently investigated ; and as the Attorney-
General's sanction to the compromise had been ob-
tained, he thought theproper course would be to refer
it back to the Master in the same manner as. before,
with the exception of directing his particular attention
to the identity of the land. The costs must be re-
served, and the petitioner must have liberty to attend
before the Master.
The COURT then proceeded with the part-heard
appeal of " Prendergast v. Turton."

VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY).
(Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.)
TIIE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. HOLLAND.
An application was made for the petitioner in this
case to be heard before the Vice-Chancellor, it having
been partly heard before Vice-Chancellor Knight
Bruce. The original decree was to settle the scheme
of a charity, founded in the time of the Common-
wealth, in favour, it was supposed, of decayed
Royalists, but now applied for the benefit of decayed
gentlemen—bene nati et bene vestiti—of the county of
Essex. The decree in the case was made three or four
years ago, and a petition was presented to the Lord
Chancellor for a separate report, but no separate report
having been made, the case was set down for hearing
before Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce. He declined
to make any order, and nothing had been done to-
wards the case. It was now prayed that the
petition might be heard in his Honour's Court.—
Ordered to stand over, with liberty to make an appli-
cation.

SCANDAL IN HIGH LIFE.

The following letter has been addressed to the
Observer of yesterday, and in giving it insertion we
have only to remark that the report to which it re-
fers has been prevalent for three weeks, and that
the distance between Leeds and London can be per-
formed in less than ten hours :

" Sir,—His Royal Highness Prince George of
Cambridge's name having appeared in the Observer of
the 30th ult., connected with certain infamous and ca-
luranious reports, reflecting upon the honour of a
member of a Noble family, I am commanded by his
Royal Highness to give his most unqualified and
indignant contradiction to them, and to request that,
as you have (though doubtless without any ill-feel-
ing) assisted in giving currency in your paper to
these reports by a quotation from another paper, you '
will, in common justice, give insertion to this letter
without delay.
" His Royal Highness Prince George's absence
with his regiment at Leeds has prevented this con-
tradiction being sent to you in time for your paper of
last Sunday.
" I am, Sir, your most obedient servant,
" JOHN PARKINSON,
" Solicitor to H.R.H.1669 Lincoln's Inn-fields.
" I itli Nov., l84`)."

A Norsy CARGO.—On Monday last the Christina
Maria, a small foreign schooner, arrived in this port,
having on board 37 swine, 351 geese, and 74 ducks.
Of the geese, several weighing about 101 b. each, were
sold for 3s. ; a few of the ducks sold for 2s. Cd. a
couple ; and three or four swine, Weighing from 3?Fst.
to 4st., were sold for 2ls. each. These pigs were all
black ; and if good feeding adds to their flavour, they
will doubtless be delicate morsels, for the sea air had
so sharpened
their appetites as to make them eat up,
on the voyage,
a lot, of their fellow-passengers—the
ducks.—Adl Advertiser.

interfered, and after a slight riot, 13 of the insur•
gents were taken, and have since been committed to
Stafford gaol. •
Owing to the undecided state of the treaty pend-
ing with Portugal, by which

furnished the metropolitan markets with nearly 90,000
lobsters and crabs this season.

ECCLESIASTICAL.
The parishioners of St. Mary Somerset, and St.
Mary Monathaw, have resisted an attempt made by
the parish authorities to enlarge their church, and
passed a resolution that the adjoining churches would
amply accommodate the population, and that these
parishes should be milted to others under these cir-
cumstances. The churchwardens upon this demanded
a poll, when they were defeated by a majority of
.29 to 10.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sia,—ln your article in yesterday's paper you
have stated that the Directors of the East India
Company " spontaneously offered to nominate" me a
member of the Law Commission of India. This is a
mistake ; this was done on my application to Sir
James Carnac, the Chairman, and I subsequently de-
clined the appointment, on learning that I should have
to forfeit, while I held it, the service pension to which
I had become entitled.
I cannot say that the deposed Raja of Sattara is a
stranger to me ; I have been in his presence probably
a dozen times ; however, it is certain that I know
him rather officially, and by reputation, and the re-
ports of others, than personally.
My excellent friend, Mr. Willoughby, was one cf
the Commissioners who tried the Raja for attempting
to seduce the native officers from their allegiance ;
but from that period his immediate oonnexion with
the Raja's case terminates, except so far as his duties
as Secretary to Government bring him into contact
with it.
I beg that you will be good enough to give this
letter a place in your columns.
I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant,
C. NORRIS.

DEATH OF SIR EDMUND CURREY, K.C.B.—Sir
:;:dmund died at his seat, Eriwood, near Bagshot, on
Saturday last, in his 64th year. " He served in the artil-
lery in the campaigns in Holland and Egypt. He vva-
appilinted Aide-de-Camp to his late Royal Highness the
Duke of Gloucester in 1303, and Secretary and Comp-
-iroller of his Household in 1805, and received the rank of
Lieutenant-Colonel from William the Fourth, and was
humoured with the Guelphic Order. Married 1828

reference to this subject, and which has been treated
in the City article of the London Times with that
wonderful ability so observable in the daily metro-
politan journals. The absence of all experiments
likely to incur risk is a distinguishing feature with
the North American mail line. All the vessels are on
certain well-tried principles. Experimental or theo-
retical science must not be brought to bear on At-
lantic steaming. On certainty and safety all its
merits and recommendations depend. All parsons,
who consider what a limited thing a ship is for space,
may dispose at once of the many theories for improve-
ment on engines, boilers, &c., which may have a
feasibility of being at least worth trial on shore. Since
the time of James Watt, so little new has been added
to the stock of knowledge regarding the steam-engine
that we are forced to confess quackery has run riot in
patents for improving engines, boilers, paddle-wheels,
fuels, &c., &c., but that no real improvement has been
made on the principle of such engines and boilers as
are now used in the Navy and those present Atlantic
steamers.

We have taken thus much trouble in obtaining in-
formation of an authentic character from a sense of
duty and conviction that in so treating the matter
we render service to the whole mercantile public.
The statements we have set forth are facts not to be
disputed, and the straightforward manner in which
all information has been rendered, whenever applied
for, contributes in no small degree to stamp truth on
all that has been asserted. The present is an age es-
pecially remarkable for bubble companies and stock-
jobbing trickery ; the whole trading community are
pestered by a set of schemers, whose ingenuity is per-
petually employed in devising new plausibilities,
whereby they may gain advantages to themselves,
without any regard for those whose means are trifled
with. Any new contrivance in the shape of an At-
lantic Steam Company must of necessity come under
such classification, as it cannot be originated with
honest views of profit to shareholders, but, on the
contrary, would swallow up any amount of capital
embarked. It is a duty of the Press to aid in increas-
ing the efficiency of what exists, and to denounce
whatever would have the effect of impairing its in-
fluence and weakening its resources.

MAW AND POLICE.

O'Neill, the Chartist, was re-examined on Monday
at Dudley, with John Blanchfield ; they were both
committed to Stafford gaol, two sureties however
being accepted on the part of O'Neill, in the amount
of 100/. each, and his own recognizance of 2001. In
lane hfield's case only half the sum was required.
Isaac Morgan, an elderly and respectable man, and
John Henry*Morgan, his son, were charged on Monday
at Worship-street, with obtaining various sums of
money by means of forged checks on the Bloomsbury
Branch of the London and Westminster Bank. Both
the prisoners were committed.
Mary Lancaster, an attractive young woman,
aged 25, was committed for a month at Clerkenwell
on Monday, for attempting to swallow a quantity of
sugar of lead last Saturday. She had lived with
several gentlemen at various times, with whom she
had travelled the greater part of England, but having
fallen into dissolute habits, sank from one grade to
another.

John Ross, a young man lodging in the Old
Bailey, near the back of the premises in Seacoal-lane,
which were consumed by fire on Saturday night, MS
charged at Guildhall `on Monday with assaulting Wil-
liam Harding, a pcliceman. It appeared that during
the fire the prisoner applied to pass, in order to get
his child, who was at home ; the policeman refused to
let him, alleging his orders, upon which a struggle
ensued. The Magistrate dismissed the charge, stating
that the policeman, as well as the prisoner, had both
shown a want of temper and coolness in the case.

IN RE THOMAS ELLIS-LOIN SOCIETIES.

The detaining creditor against the insolvent in this
case was the Secretary to the London General Loan
Society.
Upon looking over the schedule the Learned COM-
MISSIONER said he found that all the creditors named
there were treasurers and secretaries to different loan
societies both in town and country, to whom the in-
solvent had become liable, either as a borrower him-
self, or surety for another. It was truly surprising
that a person so circumstanced could raise so much
money from such a source.—The insolvent was libe-
rated upon bail.

CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC.

The compesi;ion with which the footway in Whitehall ,in
face of his Grace the Duke of Buccleuch's, and that at Rich-
mond-terrace, which is now being laid down, being called
Bitumen (another name for Asphalte), a general impression
prevails that the abovenamed work is made of Seyssel As-
phalte. This, however, is not the case, the composition being
different in very many respects from the Seyssel Asphalte. It
is needless-to point out more than one distinguishable quality;
namely, that the Seyssel Asphalte emits no disagreeable smell ;
whereas the composition now being used in Whitehall, sends
forth a most nauseous and horrible effluvium. The fears of
the inhabitants of the neighbourhood, as well as of those pass-
ing through this great thoroughfare, that their vital action may
be suspended by the effects of this composition, have induced
the Seyssel lAsphalte Company thus publicly to repudiate any
connexion with it.

ROWING MATCH.

PococK AND JAMES MAYNARD.—The scullers'
wager between these two men for 201, came -off on
Monday, and was decided in favour of Pocock. We
have rarely met a match in which the one so com-
pletely run away from the other, as in this match, to
the dissatisfaction of many who had considered them-
selves good judges. Both men ply at Lambeth stairs,
and have acquired considerable repute as scullers.
They were generally considered an even match, but
the result has proved the contrary. Pocock gained
much note by defeating some good men in Lyon's
sovereigns match this season, after he had almost been
lost sight of as a waterman for half a dozen years,
and Maynard, who had signalised himself in various
contests, won the Vauxhall prize last season. Pocock
took the lead from the first moment, had three lengths
a head at the Horseferry, half a dozen at Vauxhall-
bridge, and continued gaining, winning easily.

TURKEY.

CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 10.—The negotiations on
the Syrian question, which, owing to difference of
opinion, had been referred by the Foreign Ministers
to their respective Courts, have once more been re-
sumed at the Porte. Sir Stratford Canning had a
secret conference with Sarim Effendi on the 7th inst.,
and I think it highly probable that he has recently
been furnished with more cogent arguments than
those he has hitherto had recourse to by his Govern-
ment. I know that he has just received a long report
on the subject of the Lebanon from the Consul-Ge-
neral of Syria, Colonel Rose. On the 9th (yesterday)
M. de Bourqueney had also an interview with the
Minister of Foreign Affairs, and I presume the sub-
ject was in substance the same as that discussed by
the English Ambassador. Lastly, and apparently, as
the immediate consequence of these two con-
ferences, a third is this day being held between
Sarim Effendi and Monsieur Titoff, accompanied
by Prince Hautcherli, who, by the way, re-
turned here from Russia last week. I cannot help
conjecturing that Sarim Effendi has addressed
himself to his Russian friends to assist him in
the scrape into which it is generally suspected they
have contributed not a little to involve him ; and in
which he is, to all appearance, fairly run down and
brought to bay. If so, it is probable, that in regard
to Russia he will find himself in the predicament of
the " hare with many friends," that is to say, he will
have abundance of good wishes, and little beside, I
apprehend. According to the last accounts, Selina
Bey was making a circuit of the Lebanon, collecting
votes in favour of Omar Pacha. The Seraskier had
commanded the Maronites to avow their opinions
openly ; but only 4,200 signatureS had yet been givers
in favour of the Shehabb dynasty, and these, as the
Turks assert, are chiefly composed of those of the
Christians of Antioch who have been influenced by
their Patriarch. Selim Bey and Ali Bey will both of
them shortly return to Constantinople, when the re-
sult of their mission will be laid before the diplomatic
body. The Baron de Bourqueney went yesterday to
the Palace, to present to his Majesty the Sultan the
letters he had recently received with respect to the
death of the Duke of Orleans. In consequence of a
circular from the British Consulate, the English resi-
dents here have put on mourning, which is to last for
a week.

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.

The tidal dock at Southampton was opened on Mon-
day. This dock is the largest in England, and covers
an area of 16 acres, it will always have 18 feet water
at low spring tides. It was commenced about three
•ears ago at a cost of about 140,000/. ; and the Royal
I'Pest India Mail Company have contracted for the
use of a portion of it, at a rental of 2,000/. per annum.
There is another dock, now in progress, called the
inner or wet dock, which covers an extent of 14 acres,
and is the nearest to the town.

NAVAL AND IiarLITAR.Y.
The staff of the Northern district of England has
been remodelled. Lieut.-General Sir Thomas Ar-
buthnot takes the entire command. General Brother-
ton and Colonel Broke have been added to the staff.
The head-quarters are to be Manchester and Bradford.
The present disorganization of the various parts of
the Royal Dockyards is much complained of at pre-
sent. For all the yards there hre not more than 6,000
men, who have been divided into companies of thirty
men. Often two or more of these companies may be
employed upon ship or service, and very little scrutiny
as to physical or moral requirement is observed on
taking the men for the establishment.

AN INVALUABLE AILDICIAL.

QIMCO'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS
LY supply a desideratum which has long been sought. The
torments of Gout and Rheumatism are unfortunately so well
known as to have become proverbial, and the unhappy suf-
ferers from those complaints will appreciate, with a gratitude
which such martyrs- alone can feel, the astonishing effect of
this remedy. It is equally serviceable in Rheumatism, Fever,
Lumbago, Cramp, &c., arid the testimonials as to its efficacy
are numerous and conclusive.
These Pills are.sold by all Medicine Vendors in-town and
country, in boxes at Is. lid. and 2s. 9d. each. Purchasers
should be especially careful to ask fur " Simco's Gout and
Rheumatic Pills," and riot be prsuaded to buy any others.

EVENINti CONCERT. Al 1116
NATIONAL.AsSOCIATION HALL
HOLBORN.

this concert, which took place yesterday evening in the-
above Hall, was most ereditably.got up, and equally
well per-
rimmed and attended. The vocal part of " Hark ! 'tis the
Indian drum," accompanied by one of Bishop's fine 4 Cutlet..
was excel sot as an echo to-the sense. The Gratias agimus
of Miss Cubitt, breathed the full sweetness of this old Catholic
church chant. :Hiss Williams and her sister, in several dnetts,
comported themselves with their accustomed grace. A Scot-
tish air, descriptive of a brave wooer in love with the " bonny
black e'en" of the. sintzer, was tripped off as the light&
of love-lilts by Miss P. Horton ; while Leffler, who we believe
came in fresh from the Surrey, gave his glorious laughter-bit'
from " Counts," which has won him such honours this season .
and subsequently in "Mighty Jove," pealed out his round:
tones nobly. Of the instrumental part, a symphony by 3301,11
haven, was performed, and one of Rossini's use: tares,—thafßif
the " Italiana in Alger'," which. like all that
positions, abounds in brilliant fioritures, and bea.uti. s.
Blagrove led, and Mr. Holderness conducted the movements 'At
a very efficient band. The audience alone was -iniudicionsiaT
the indiscriminate encore which it bestowed on aimost evel-
piece. This rapacity for, repetition was most ill-judged, aP,'
some future correction should be found for it.
