SUN OFFICE Viree o'Clock.

Our intelligence from Manchester to-day is of a
gloomy description. In another place we insert the
accounts which we find in a second edition of the
ilfanchester Guardian. Our private letters inform us
that—

" The turmoil seems spreading in all directions; and
through all trades ; to-morrow, I should think, says
one correspondent, there will not be a single factory or
workshop. open. Spinners, printers, dyers, machine-
makers—in fact, from all I can learn, there will not be
an engine running in the whole town to-morrow.
The. report is, that a large party has gone to
Bury, and the adjoining towns, to compel the men to
follow tllo example of Manchester. Stirl►ng, and Beck-
ton and Birlefs are the- only two places working, and
each of t!icse has a strong guard of police and soldiers
to protect the men. This appears a different turn-out
from all that have taken place before. On all former
occasions .turn-outs have been of some particular trade,
but on this occasion the turn-out includes all trades and.
the whole district."

Another correspondent says—
" There is no doubt a considerable diiposition on the
part of a great number of the people to get food if they
can, but I doubt if anything of a really serious character
has been intended. I have just left Oxford-road, where
I should think there are at least 20,000 people assem-
bled, without any visible object except that of getting out
the hands. Special constables are being sworn in, but we
owe it to the moderation of the people themselves that no
st rious breach of the peace bas ensued, for certainly there
is no adequate force to ptotect property for one hour."
" Where this will end," says another Correspondent,
"it is impossible to conjecture. As I came to town a little
before twelve, the Mayor of Stockport was hurrying
into it. He said the turn-outs were in the vicinity, and
were expected in Stockport every moment when he left
lie was coming to solicit the authorities for troops. He
said they had' none at StockpOrt, and the special con-
stables who had been sworn in, had refused to act."

The whole of that crowded hive is, therefore, in
commotion. Other hives will feel and share the im-
pul:e. Such is the condition in which the Par-

!lament is about to leave the country after
six months' wearisome toil. Such is the
condition of England after ten quiet months of the
paternal rule of the Tories. This is not a time, how-
ever, to bandy accusations, and we regret to see some
of the Tory journals, while their own columns bear
witness to this turn-out being caused by an attempt
to lower wages, and while the leaders in it abuse the
Corn-law repealing masters, ascribe the disturbance,
which is ruinous to them, to their manoeuvres.
In the Rev. WM. CooKE TAYLOR'S notes of a tour in
the manufacturing districts, he states that nothing
but the hope still inspired by the Anti-C9rn-
law League kept the peace ; and now that this hope
i 3 at an end, and the masters have begun to lower
wages, fi large turn-out ensues.
,The riot is not caused
by the League, but by those politicians who have
obstinately denied justice to the people.

Lord PALMERSTON last night in a brilliant speech;
which every person will read, made a series of some-
what bitter comments on the conduct of the Tories,
and Sir ROBERT PEEL, with many sly and sarcastic
hits retorted on the Whigs. He declared that the
absence of Lord Jolts. RUSSELL and other ex-
Ministers, implied confidence in his Governnient.
Lord PALMERSTON however is vehemently opposed to
him, as if the Noble Lord took different views from
his friends, and was much more the rival than the
follower of Sir ROBERT. The mutual attacks of
the Ins and the Outs cannot be otherwise than very
advantageous to the public.
The debate was sparkling, and the session expires,
dolphin-like, displaying many beauties, not the least
remarkable of which were the choice allusions made by
Lord PALMERSTON and Sir R. PEEL to each other's
frequent changes of opinion. This was an awkward
subject, and required delicate handling, and accord-
ingly the Whig Lord and the Tory Baronet agreed—
instead of abu3ing—to exchange mutual compliments
on ',the subject, just as those two Homeric warriors,
GrAucvs and DIOMED, exchanged gifts, in the course
of their set7to. lilt Lordship was perfectly satisfied
that Sir ROBERT PEEL' s political • changes
were prompted. by nought but the purest and
most conscientious motive* and the Baronet, in reply,
entertained the strongest possible conviction that his
opponent's inconsistencies sprang from causes equally
spotless and disinterested. Having discussed this
difficult branch of their subject, upon the safe and
discreet principle tht.t the pot should never call the
kettle. black, the rival chiefs renewed their onslaught
with infinite vigour and acrimony. Lord PALMERSTON
accused Sir ROBERT PEEL of excessive modesty ; and
Sir ROBERT retaliated on his Lordship with a charge
of excessive impudence!. Of his Lordship's impu-
dence we say nothing ; he may, or may not, possess
the intrepid assurance common to most diplomatists;
the accusation, whether true or false, is not
of the slighteSt moment ; but we do feel bound
n justice to come forward, and 'rescue our
"lovely Premier"—as SYDNEY SMITH calls him
—from the charge of being embarrassed with
modesty. The charge is as false, as it is black. Of all
existing statesmen, Sir ROBERT,PEEL is the one least
likely to labour under the disease of bashfulness. To
he sure, he may have caught it of the Irish Members,
who "are peculiarly susceptible of this malady ; but we
do not think it at all probable ; and can only account,
therefore, for Lord PALMERSTON'S accusation, on the
supposition that it was meant ironically. These direct
sparring-matches between the Ins and the Outs are,
we repeat, exceedingly advantageous to the public,
whom they will greatly. help' to enlighten respecting
the true character of the two parties.

We are indebted to our respectable •continental
Contemporary, Galignanis Messenger, for the .fol-,
lowing interesting letter from China. It is from the
pen of a French Officer on board the French corvette,
the Danaide. The date is " Macao, April, 1842"
The result of this campaign has been that the Eng-
lish are at present in possession of five important
points, Hong-kong, Amoy, Chusan, Ching-hae, and
Ningpo ; thnt the commerce of forty millions of inhabi-
tants of the four maritime proiinces of the Celestial Em-
pire are in their hands ; and that these conquests have
been made with 4,000 men, and 16 men of war,, of which
the fitting out has cost considerable sums. The loss of sol-
diers has been about a sixth, and this loss proceeds from
illness, privations, the climate, &c.. The arms of the Chi •
neGe have destroyed but few. By their occupation of Hong-
kong and Bocca Tigris, the English command the
province of Kouang-tounee- ; by holding Amoy, they are
masters of Foukian ; and the occupation of Chusan,
Ching-hae, and Ningpo enables , them to intercept the
commerce of Chekian and Kiansou. When the popu-
lation of those provinces is considered, as well as the
little resistance that they have made to the English, the
question arises--is the war at an end ? The greater part
of the English officers are of Opinion that it is not, but
all unprejudiced persons must see that England eanncrt
continue it, tOr the expenses are incalculable, and the
profit as yet has been nothing whatever. The sums taken
from the Chinese, although considerable, are very
far ' from indemnifying the East India Company
for their outlay •, they are, in fact, already absorb-
.• ed. The silk trade of China is what the English will
prefer to all the other branches of trade. The Aimed
. trans, also, will transport Chinese silks to their markets,
and it is to be feared that French silks will suffer con-
siderably in the American markets. There will be, it is
stated, a difference of 40 or 50 per cent. in favour of
Chinese silks. It would be important if French com-
merce would pay some attention to that of China.
Numerous commercial connexions are about to be esta-
blished between China, Europe, and America, and several
cargoes have already been sent to the United States. The
climate of Ningpo, Ching-hae, and Chusan, is cold and
moist, and woollen goods are-quite unknown there. To de-
fend themselves against the temperature the Chinese
wear silk stuffs well wadded. • There can be no doubt
that if they could have woollen goods they would adept
them, and therefore it is supposed that if the French
traders, who go as far as Canton and Macao, were to ad-
vance to the latitude of Ningpo, they would have •an
excellent chance of disposing of their .cloths. The
Danaide is the first vessel of war which has appeared is
the north of China. This vessel, which has been for four
years in those latitudes, has shown the French flag to
many nations unknown to Europeans, and has opened
an easy road for French commerce in the north of the.
Celestial Empire. French shipowners ought not to let the
opportunity thus offered escape. The Danaide is on
her way home, and her crew has only one regret in
quitting China—that of ii:?.einc,e- so few vessels in com-
parison with those of the United States and other
European nations. The French officers havi gone
through all the 'Chinese towns without ever having
suffered 'the slightest insult from the Chinese ; the
natives made a wide difference between the French
and English, and the former were in all cases the
object of much attention and kindly feeling. They could
have brou&lit away
very considerable 'presents offered in
tk way of friendship, ti au!), not fear to excite the
5741157,4*--:: *en.. tisy of the English, and give them reason to think
t they desired to profit
,by the late occurrences, and
hlts
estrablish a connexion with the Chinese prejudicial to
En4ish interests. The best inteb*ence has always
übs-liited between oar sailors' and the English, and

We have received the French journals of Tuesday.
The debate in the French Chamber, up to the hour
of post, is of great interest. There was, first, the
nomination of the Committee of Address in reply to
the Ento's Speech.; secondly, the presentation of
the Regency Bill; and thirdly, the carrying of
Onimort BArtaar's motion for a ritrliamentaryin.
quiry into the elections. This last affair was regarded
as a serious defeat of the Ministry.
The Committee of Address consists of the following
members :—MM. BERVILLE, LAVALETTE, AMILHAN,
Viscount DEJEAN, JACQUES I.EFEBVRE, DUMONT
(Lot et Garonne), DENIs, DE LAMARTINE, and BIG-
NON. MM. Baavuxt and LAVALETTE are of the
TRIERS Opposition (Left Centre) and the others are
Conservatives.

The Monitcur of this morning announces in its official
part the receipt of letters of condolence from the Kings
of Sardinia, Naples, Saxony, Hanover, and Denmark,
and • the Duke of Lucca, on the death of the Duke of
Orleans.

Yesterday at noon the King came to the Tuileries,
and soon alter held a Council o Ministers. After. the
Cornell his liajesty gave private audiences to Marshal
Sebastiani, the Count de Montalivet, and Count Mole.
The Duke tie Nemours also came to Paris, and held con.
ferences at the Padillon Marsan with several Generals
and superior officers appointed to commands at the camps
of St. Omer and Chalons. At four o'clock his Majesty
and the Duke de Nemours returned to Neuilly.
The Moniteur publishes the Quarterly Report of the
Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, from which it ap-
pears that;during the months of April, May, and June,
they have purchased 232,333 f. Three per Cent. Rentes,
which cost 6,270,2501'. 40c., the average pt ice being

A letter from Munich, of the 2d instant, states that,
new post-office regulations were agreed upon, and settled
between Austria and Bavaria, by a treaty signed on the
27th ult., from which great advantages to both countries
are anticipated. It only wants the ratifications of the
two Courts to be carried into execution.

A uniform rate of postage, equal to twopence English
per letter, has been established throughout the Austrian
dominions, and came into operation on the Ist inst.

We have news from Constantinople of the 20th of
July, by way of Vienna. The two private Secretaries
of the Sultan;lzzet Bey and Tewlik Bey, were deprived
of their offices on the 19th, and have lost the titles and
privileges attached to them.
The Madrid Journals of the 2d instant state that
thanks to the good understanding between the Spanish
and Portuguese civil and military authorities on the fron-
tier, the band of the Chief Sermental, which .infested
the country on the frontiers of Estremadura, lias been
overtaken. Sermental and his companion Mata were
killed.

The two Governments had set many troops in motion
for this operation.
The Iberia says—" The Minister of War is busily en-
gaged in the levy of 25,000 men voted by the Chambers.
The class of 1836, consisting of the same number of
25,000 men, will be sent to their homes as soon as the
recruits arrive, unless some extraordinary circumstance
should render it necessary for those veterans to remain
with their regiments.
The Minister of Marine is taking measures to equip
for service the Sovereign of the line, and the Pearl and
Bilbao frigates. He intends also to re-establish the
yards for ship-building at Cadiz.
" A frigate, commanded 'by Captain Daral, is going
from Cadiz to Monte Video, tbr the purpose of pro-
tecting Spanish commerce in that country.
"The Infant Don Enrique, second son of Don Francisco
de Paula, who has lately been appointed midshipman,
will act as such on board the vessel."—Le Com-
