LONDON
WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 13, 1842.

- Sir ROBERT PEEL'S proposal last night to bring in a
Bill for the better security of her
.MAJESTY, met with
the unanimous and hearty approbation of the House of
Common:4, and will meet with the hearty approbation of
the. country. The Right Hon. Gentleman proposes to
create no
.new treason. but to divest such mischievous
ai6cks as have lately been made of the character and
ilignity of treason —to degrade them to the filth of petty
larceny, and inflict on the offenders whipping-and im-
prisonment. This Bill will subject such offender. to more
siptedy as well as simple justice, and it brings all
possible attempts -on her MAJESTY within the meshes of
the law. That such a measure will be a more effectual
protection for her MasEsTv than the present law of
treason, is, we believe, the universal opinion; and it is
generally thought that if any law can discoumge such
monomaniac-attempts, it will be ene which degrades the
crime end the criminal. Sir R. PEZCS Bill completely
corresponds to the public senthnent, and may almost be
Fai!l to be a law before it is passed.
In the Course of his speech, the -Right Hon. Baront t
informed the Ml'S° that the Judgesohe law officers of the•
Cro..vn, and the members of the Cabimt, were inlaid-
toously.of opinion that FRANCIS should nut suffer tile
penalty of death. It is certainly satisCactory to thera
end public to know that. their mercif..l decision, in
that case, had no influence in exciting the mind of the
present miser:ant to commit the outrage on inn- MA-
JESTY. He purchased his pistol, absented himself from
home, wrote his letter, and laid his plans, before the
decision, we bedeVe, was taken, and certainly before it
was promulgated. The hasty- assumption that mercy
was the parent of a fresh crime, which, in the first in-
stance, was generally adopted, is known to be an error ;
and the Ministers have not to reproach themselves with
any evil effects from misplaced lenity.

Sir ROBERT PEEL quoted On Monday evening some
sile.C.ittiens of _the fallins off and of the 'increase in the
.Customs' duties during the last qUarter, to show the ef-
fects of changes in the tariff. Thus wine had fallen
off 108,0001., timber, 113,000!., and coffee, 31,000/. On
brandy and rum, also, there was a large loss: There
wa; an increase of 113,000/. on sugar, of 34,000/. on
mtdasAes; on cotton wool 26,9801., on tea 16,718/. The
Right Hon. Baronet attributed the fulling off of the re-
'gentle to changes in the tariff, while the increase took
place iu articles which have not been meddled with.
Such' may be the case ; but there are some facts con-
nected with these several articles which Warrant a dif-
fcw;lic iew.

The tariff makes no change whatever in the wine
duties, none in the duties on rum, and none in the
duties on brandy, and en all these articles of luxury
there has been a great falling off. It is erroneous to at-
tribute that to the tariit. A more probable and a more
alarming- cause is that the middle classes—the master-
manufacturers and tip-top shopkeepers—findin4 their
incomes running away from them, have ceased to indulge
in wines and other spirituous liquors. Economy and
morality recommend the giving up of that indulgence as.
one of the first curtailments of expense. That recom-„
mendation has been acted on to a great extent, and the
result is that the revenue on the luxury of wine and
:spirits has fallen offduring the last quarter nearly one-
fourth. This is a pretty sure indication of much in-
creasing frugality in the middle clases.
The reduction in the coffee duties is justly ascribed by
. Sir R. PEEL to his proposed change, for there is good
mson to believe, from the increased consumption of
sugar, and the substitution of coffee for other drinks and
for food, that more of it has been used. As to sugar, Sir
PEEL knows that the increased duty is the result of an
increase in the supply. Mr. GouLnuttx stated last year,
in the debates on Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S proposal to re-
duce the sugar ditties, that an increased revenue would
he obtained from sugar without making the proposed
reduction, because there was a greater quantity to come
to market. 'On two or three subsequent debates the
Tories, including Sir R. PEEL, plumed themselves on their
sagacity, and disproved beforehand Sir R. PEEL'S Mon-
day statement as to sugar.
Of the increase of duty on cotton wool, and on tea,
we know nothing ; but it is to he rather attributed, we
apprehend, to the peculiar state of the New Orleans and
Canton markets, than to the tariff not having disturbed
those duties. As to timber, Sir R. PEEL has on that
point supplied beforehand some materials for doubting
his accuracy. During a debate on the tariff, when he
was asked to give the timber merchants time to clear off
Weir stocks, &c., he taunted them with having last year,
in expectation of a change, and of catching a large draw-
back, imported an unusual qUantity of timber. There
was over-production then and collapse. now, which
wicounts, as well as his change in the duties, for some of
tt. e reduction of the revenue from timber. We hardly
kaiow what Sir R. PEEL meant to infer from the figures
h quoted, but the unaltered duties on wine and spirits,
id the falling off in the revenue on them, is a proof,
1,- /are afraid, that another end a more baneful cause is
sat svork to reduce the Citstom-house revenue than the
to rotary disturbance caused by altering the tariff:
SwittalEtiT, ton, has frequently dwelt with cotn-
pd .on the increase pf exports. Did he include
;n fare eongratnlations the . thousands of ingenious
sl..;Ta.nts and the property they take with them, for
n.O equivalent will ever be gained ? " Over 3,000
says a recent number of the New York Herald,
. aled in the city of New York in the last two days,
_„aiding,- agriculturists and. all kinds of mechanics." We
hat e no doubt that the balk of those persons went frcm

not the exports, enrich a country ; and Sir ROBERT
PEEL is in the singular position for a Prime Minister. of
rejoicing over the double evidence of the nation's decay.

Mr. FEBBAND presented a petition on Monday from
workmen in Queenshead, praying for a law to regulate
wages according to the price of wheat. Earl STANHOPE,
in the House of Lords, on the same evening, stated that
an old Tory manufacturer of Yorkshire had assured him
that unless the Parliament protected the wages of labour
the consequences might be Krious ; and Mr. COBDEN
pointedly and emphatically assured the House of Com-
mons that as the Legislature had taken on itself to re-
gulate the price of food, so it was bound to ensure profit
to the manufacturer and good wages to the labourer.
Now, all these different authorities, two of them being
at opposite political poles, point to the same conclusion
as the necessary consequence of the Legislature under-
taking to regulate the price of wheat—the establishment,
namely, of a maximum and a minimum price for all
things, for which the first French Revolution in its pro-
gre-s was s.o fiercely condemned.
What a task dues the Lczislature thus impose on
itself. It must not only adjust the wages of the common
manual labourer to the price of food, as that varits with
the seasons, but it must adjust the rewards of skillcd
labourers in proportion to the time and education re-
quired to lean an art. It must also establish the
rewards of new arts as they arise, and must equally
apportion, in all cases, the profits of any new rna
chine, between the capitalist who merely owns it,
• and the labourer who makes and uses it. To every man
willing to work, to every man able to work, it will be
bound to secure a fitting reward, as well as to the owner
of rent and the owner of tithL s. In truth, the practical
establishment of St. Simonism, of which the main prin-
ciple is that the State should reward every man accord-
ing to his works, is the necessary and inevitable conse-
quence of making a law to regulate the price of corn.
Theprinciple of the maximum and the minimum has been
adopted for the landowners, and the starving labourers
now justly demand its equal application to them.
Such a system may be very benevolent, fur the bene-
volence of our legislators, at least to themselves, is great;
it my be wise, for the wisdom of our landowners is to
us quite inscrutable; but though wise and benevolent, it
is impossible. No human power cats by design and will
accomplish any such equal and just distribution of wages,
profit, ar,d rent amongst the different classes of the com-
munity. No Government that we are aware of has
ever attempted it, unless it was that of the Jesuits in
Paraguay ; and no Government can accomplish it for a
society which is more enlarged and more complicated
than that of a monastery. This impossible system, dis-
guised under the name of protection, is the system of our
landlords. We must warn them, from the three examples
we have quoted, that the plan of protecting native agri-
culture by securing a certain price for corn, involves for
the State the impossible duty of securing an adequate
and just remuneration for every labourer in the empire,
and-ensures, by making the Government itself un that
principle an impossibility, the destruction of the Govern-
ment.

The Alipisters carried their object last night of con-
tinuing the Poor-law Commission for five year.; never-
theless, it is again stated that they mean to give up the
larger portion of the Bill, fearing that to pass the whole
would prolong the session beyond endurance.

Forty=nine Members of the House of Commons, and
fourteen Peers, are all that are to be found to vote for
the appointment of Parliamentary Committees to in-
quire into the present distressed state of the country.
In the House of Lords the subject was well and ably
brought forward by Lord Brougham on Monday ; but
buerowing as_ were the details of misery—frightful as
were the pictures of wide-spread and wider-spreading.
distress exhibited by his Lordship, only sixteen he-
reditary Legislators, out of an assembly of four
hundred and fifty-nine voted for an inquiry into its ex-
tent, with a view to the suggestion of a remedy. The
Peers take the matter very coolly. The distres of the
working classes dues not affect them. They would not
drink a glass of Burgundy the less, or dispense with the
attendance of a single liveried menial in their all Lut
regal establishments, were the operatives dying in ditches
like rotten sheep. Lord BROUGHAM well and feelingly
reminded their Lordships that the suffering millions had
no hand in making the laws, under whose accursed
operation they were dying of hunger. They did not
contribute to the passing of the Corn and Provision!
laws, which had reduced them to a state of misery, coin-
pared with which all the famines within his recollection
were periods of comparative prosperity. These• facts
made no impression on the Peers, till followed by an
account of villages becoming depopulated, and a decrease
in the rental of the country. Thu motion was weakly
and un:uttiA.actorily resisted by the Earl of RIPON, Lora
MEr.nounNE (!), and the Earl of WINCHILSEA ; and sup-
ported by Earl STANHOPE, Lord KINNAIP,D, the Mar
quis of CLANRICARDE, and Lord RADston. - The
speeches of Lord K.INNAIRD and the Marquis of
CLiNRIcARDE wt re excellent. Lord KINNAIRD, proved
that the distress of the country could be at any mo-
ment relieved, and the Federal Government of the
United States preserved frorn a state border.ng upon in-
solvency, by allowing American corn to be imported at
even so high a duty as six shillings. The Marquis of
CLANRICARDE warned their Lordships of what might
be expected to take place next winter, unless prompt
measures were taken to 'remove the misery of
the people. They might think it inconvenient to
go into such an inquiry now, and trust to the
employment of troops by the Government to keep the
people quiet ; but unless they did inquire, and did re-
move the evil, they would soon be compelled to submit
to something worse. But their Lordships, unwilling to
forego the pleasures of the approaching season of field-
sports, treated the threat of the Noble Marquis witt
silent contempt. Lord BROUGHAM'S reply was more
temperate than we should have expected under such
circumstances. He had evidently, however, brough'
forward his- motion under a conviction that it would IN
rejected. He knew the assembly he had to deal with,
and how little it concerned itself about the miseries of the
poor, so long as they suffered in silence. Accordingly.
as we stated above, only fourteen votes were given for an
inquiry into the extent of the distress that now over-
spreads Great Britain and Ireland ! Gon help the
perishing people ! They have no longer anything to
hope from the wisdom and humanity of the House of
Lords. -

Complaints have long been made in England against
the anomalous and unjust state of the law in the United
States, in reference to the piracy of British works, and
Mr. CHARLES DICKENS, taking advantage of his stay in
that country; laudably exerted himself to make
the subject one of general discussion, and to impress
upon the pirates the conviction that they were not so
honest as they should be. A petition to Congress was
also drawn up, signed by WASHINGTON IRKING, Coot.Ex
PaEscort', and every man who has distinguished himself
in the literature of America; earnestly praying fur the
enactment of an international copyright law. The petition
was presented to Congress by Mr. CLAY, and referred to a
&led Committee. This was met by a counter-petition
foal] the classical city of Boston—the chief city of learn-
ing and letters in America—in which the petitioners
state that if English authors were invested with any con-
trol over the republication of their works, American edi-
tors would no longer be able to alter and adapt them to
the taste of their countrymen. This very moral resolu-
tion was adopted at a public meeting with only one dis-
sentient voice. It is to be hoped, however, that the Se-
lect Committee, and President TYLER, a man ef high
moral character, will discountenance such proceedings,
and agree to the prayer of the learned men, who, by
their writings, have conferred high honour on their
country, by recommending the subject to the serious
attention of Congress. While all the great works written
in the English language originated in Great Britain,
the Americans, of course, were great gainers by this
unfair traffic ; but circumstances are now changing ra-
pidly ; American writers are successfully competing
with those of this country, and it is therefore for the
mutual advantage of both that an• international law
should be established, by which every author would be
entitled to a fair reward for his labours. All honest
men on both sides of the Atlantic must admit that it is
downright dishonesty to obtain the works of such men as
BYRON, SCOTT, and MOORE, with all the delight they
afford to 'the reader, and at the same time refuse to
make them any compensation. These two great coun-
tries; enjoying the same language, customs, laws, and
the same representative system of Government, would
become more and more united by being placed on
the same footing as independent nations, and
would thereby contribute to the improvement as
well as the diffusion of a language, which in a few
years will in all probability be more general than any
ever spoken by the human race. In the meantime Mr.
DICKENS purposes, and he recommends the plan to other
authors, that no correspondence should be hell with the
pirates, and that no negotiation for the sale of early
proofs should be entered into with any but the most
respectable American publishing houses.

Letters from Constantinople of the 23d of June, re-
ceived on Monday in Paris, announce that the
Sublime Porte had sent two frigates and three corvettes,
laden with troops, munitions o£ war, and a supply of
money,. to the coast of Syria. Notwithstanding the re-
monstrances of Great Britain, Austria, and France,
the Divan had resolved to adhere to its own Syrian
policy of maintaining the power of OMAR PAOLA, and op-
pressing the Christians of Lebanon. What a commentary

is this upon the Morning Chronicle's flourish of trumpets
about Lord PONSONBY'S eStablishment of British influ-
ence in Stamboul) . The note of triumph was Sounded
on Monday in that journal, to soothe the temper of thy
Noble Lord, probably ruffled by the fatigues of his
journey, and his reception by his late colleagues ; and
the wail of woe and disappointment is recorded to-day
by the same veracious and consistent oracle of undiluted
Whiggery. Yes, Lord PONSONBY left the British power so
paramount at Constantinople that we cannot effect the
removal of a renegade Pacha from
‘a country yet reeking
with British blood, shed in restoring it to the dominion
of the Sublime Porte OMAR PACII4 is by birth an
Austrian subject, and was, or professed to be, a Chris-
tian for many years of his life. He went to Turkey
as a pennyless adventurer, and renounced his faith to
obtain the means of living.- He is a wretch pol-
luted with the worst"- crimes ; and yet all the
boasted influence bequeathed by Lord PONSONBT'S
Cbronitb-lauted diplomatic career to Great Britain,
joined with the prayers of the Christian tribco of Lcba.
non, cannot effect the removal of this bad man from u
province purchased by British valour for the SULTAN.
Does not this one fact attest all that we have ever said
of Lord Porisot.arti ?

The French elections exclusively occupy the co-
lumns of the French papers. According to the
returns known in Paris up to an t arly hour on
Monday morning, there was a considerable increase on
the side of the Opposition. The Ministers have all been
returned. We must await the returns from the remote
departments, before predicting whether the present
Cabinet has a chance of continuing in office.
From the accounts which we receive from Toulon, it appeals
that a general impremirin exists that the events which have
lately taten place in Algeria may decide the future destiny of
the colony, if they are wisely turned to account.
Thus it is now out of doubt that the whole country
from Algiers to Tlemcen, included between the first
chain of Mount Atlas • and the sea, is completely
subdued. Only some bands of marauders are met with,
in the country, a thing which is inevitable, after a war of several
years' duration. Peace now rests on a solid foundation.
We have made no treaty with a powerful chief ; the tribes have
been obliged to submit unconditionally, and instead of with-
drawing, or even diminishing certain garrisons in the interior,
they are increased. We continue to maintain strong garrisons
at Aledealt Milliana, Mascara, and Tlemcen, by which we are
able to suppress, immediately, any hostile movement,
But it is necessary to think of something else.
besides war. We have already seen moments in which•the
Arabs seemed to be entirely paralysed. Then we committed
a series of faults, and their energy revived.
Whatever may be the Cabinet to which the elections are
going to give power, it. will have great duties to perform with
respect to our possessions in Africa. Ministerialists and Oppo-
sitionists all have agreed, when addressing the electoral body, to
come forward as the adveriaries of England in the affair of the
right of search. The prolongation of the ptov;sional state of
things in Algeria would likewise be a conmesion to England.
A letter from Alexandria of the 21st of June, in the Augs-
burg Gazette, sa)s :—" The news from Syria of the 11th is
very deploranle ;, it proves that the accusation brought against
the Porte of fermenting the disturbances in that country, are
well founded. The Turkish policy manifested itself more and
more openly."— Cornine;•ee.

HANGING THE PRoPIIETS.—In speaking of the dis-
tresses of the country on Monday in the House of Corn-
mans, Mr. Gahy Knight seems to have lashed lihnself
into a very distressing state of wrath. " The loud dv-
nunciations and prophecies of evil," observed the Hon.
Member, "which had been so lavishly indulged in, could
nut but inflame the passions of those to whom they were
addresseJ ; when he heard men predict the possibility
of insurrection, all be would say was, that if an insurrec-
tion broke out, the first thing which ought to be done,
would be,to hang theFophet ."—Mr.G.Knighthere shows
himself a Tory of the -stiff, old George the Taird
one of those rough, unceremonious gentlemen, who, if
they had lived in the days of Isaiah, would certainly
have hanged him, for predicting the fall of Nineveh
We agree, however, with the Hon. Member, that there
is much virtue in hanging, but the virtue lies, not so
much in the experimrnt it,elf, as in the proper applica-
tion of it. Hang all tho,e who predict disasters to the
country from the selfish class-legislation of the Monopo-
lists, and you leave matters in no better state than you
found them ; but hang the Monopolists themselves, who
sow the seeds of such disasters, and you at once ensure
a remedy, which—however inconvenient and unac-
ceptable it may be to the individual sufferers—wil
be attended with inestimable benefit to the community
at large. "Four-and-twenty Tories all in n row," strung
up, like so many, dried haddocks, on a genteel and con-
fortab!e gallows, erected for their express accommoda-
tion, would be the best practical form in which the Hon.
Member's "hanging" argument could possibly develop°
itself. The experiment, it will be observed, does not
originate with us ; Mr. Knight is entitled to the honour
of its suggestion ; we contend only for its just and fitting
application.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.
PARIS, JULY 11.

The elections are by no means favour-able to -the
Ministry. In Paris they have lost two members—
ia Rouen on?. They hare gained one in Strasburg
---th© other great towns return the same members.
In smaller pine-es opposition has prevailed. The
Legitimists have especially gained. At four o'clock
on Monday the OppoLition calculated o❑ having already
gained seventeen votes—an important change, one that
would indicate the nmessity of a Pussy and Death%)
Cabinet.

Delessert, Piscatory, and several 31:nisterialists, re-
jected. M. Guizot has been elected at Lizieux.
The remaining elections being for smaller and remote
places may restore the balance as before.
The funds were agitated on• the Paris Bourse. The
Three per Cents. fell, at one time, to 79 20, but closed
at 79 55.

The elections, as announced early, were unfavourable
to Ministers ; later iu the day, the accounts were of a
different kind.

On the Bourse it was said that the new Conservative
Deputies elected amounted to 184, the Radicals to 148,
but the feeling on the Bourse was not of security in the
maintenance of the present Ministry.

SCHOLES RACES.
TO THE EDITOR OF !'HE SUN.

SlR,—lierewith I beg to hand you or.e of our Bolton news-
papers. An article you will find—viz., " &holes Races."
I think if her Majesty can attend scot, Newmarket, &c.,
and greatly support them with her purse, the very poor of
Scholes ought not to be deprived of this national treat, after so
many other privations.--1 am, Sir, moat respectfully,
Bolton, July I I, 1842. NO CANT.
. .

The following is the paragraph referresi to
SCHOL ES itA cEs. —This dangerous and disgraceful practice
was resumed on Monday evening last. These races have, fur
a number of years past, been kept up annually ; but owing to
an accident of a serious nature which befel one of t.he
" jockeys," last year but one, they were put a stop to
on the following anniversary. The reason of their again
being resumed, we are at a- loss t conjecture. By
this practice being allowed, a vast concourse of men,
women, and chldrcn are collected together ; and while the
horses are ' capering and prancing,' many serious accidents
m;ght occur. We think it would be highly praiseworthy
were the authorities to put a stop to such practices."—Bolton
F. es Press.

Lts our Liberal Contemporary really serious when he pro
poses to put down races because men, women, and children
meet together in their best dresses, with joyful countenances—
because horses " caper and prance," and serious accidents may
occur ? He would of course put down all fairs, for a wild bull
might break loose amo‘g the men, women, and ehildren—he
would put down all balls, all religious and convivial meetings,
because the floor might give way, or the roof, nay, perhaps,
the sky fall, and cause 'many serious accidents ;" there would
be an end to fox-hunting, to boat-racing, to cricket, to swim-
ming, which sometimes ends in drowning, and even to walking,
which risks the safety of the tibia and fibula. Horses were
made for running, men for active and daring exercise, and
those who arc afraid to do what nature teaches, should hide
themselves in sequestered holes and corners, and sleep with
the moles and bats. Our Contemporary, however, cannot be
serious, and must have put forth this solemn warning to show
the hypocrites a perfect specimen of the reductio ad absurdum
