On Monday afternoon, the Queen of the Belgians,
the Duchess of Nemours, and the Princess Clemen-
tine, went out on horseback in the neighbourhood of
St. Cloud.
It is stated in a letter from Carlsruhe„ October 18,
published by the Mannheim Gazette, that as none of the
tenders for a loan to enable the Government of Baden
to execute the projected railroads are acceptable, it is
intended to apply to Turkey for an advance of funds.
M. Lamartine is to undertake the direction of the
Paris journal La Patrie on the Ist of November.
The consumption of butcher's meat in Paris during
the month of September last amounted to 5,963 oxen,
2,257 cows, 6,524 calves, and 38,212 sheep. It ex-
ceeded the consumption of the corresponding month
of 1841 by 1,151 oxen, 566 cows, 656 calves, and
4,400 sheep. This increase, it is said, was occa-
sioned by the great number of strangers who visited
during the month of September, and not to a fall in
the price of cattle, which is still very high at the
markets of Sceaux and Poissy.
The commeroial treaty between Belgium and Hol-
land had been definitively concluded.
It is stated that there is still a probability of the
King of Prussia visiting Paris.
A. Turkish Ambassador has just set out for Tre-
bisond. He is the bearer of the ultimatum of the Ot-
toman Porte concerning the difference with the Shah
of Persia, and is to proceed to Teheran.
The Commerce and the National state that a ru-
mour is current of an intended modification of the
French Ministry, and leave it to be inferred from a
previous rumour, that the cause is a misunderstanding
in the Cabinet on the question of the proposed Cus-
toms Union with Belgium.
The celebrated collection of pictures of the late M.
Aguado is, we understand, to be sold in the course of
the winter.
The St. PaterBburgh Journal of the 2d inst. states
that a fire took place lately at Troisk, by which the
public school, the prison, the Custom- house, the bar-
racks, the bridge over the Ui, and 293 private houses
were destroyed.
The number of students in `the different Universi-
ties of Russia in 1841 was 2,465; and the number of
volumes in the libraries of the Universities was
282,265.
A party, named Leroux de Beaulieu, who has been
three times sentenced to ignominious punishment, was
arrested on Sunday last by the police near Paris, on
the charge of having broken his ban. On the road he
shot himself with a pistol. This suicide is said to be
connected with more important facts, which are now
under investigation.
PUBLIC OP: UM. -

The Times thus adverts to a new scheme of the
Non-Intrusionists to keep alive the flame of discon-
tent in Scotland, and afford an opportunity for making
attacks on the civil power :—" We have received a
copy of a general circular which has just been ad-
dressed to all the ministers supposed to adhere to tha
cause of resistance in the northern kingdom, for the
purpose of convoking a general meeting of the whole
Non-Intrusionist clergy at Edinburgh in the course
of next month. A note intimates that it is consi-
dered indispensable that all the brethren from the
country should lay their account with being absent
from their pulpits on Sabbath, the 20th'—a hint which
may perhaps serve to convey a distant, suggestion that
these worthies should lay their account with being
absent from their pulpits altogether. To suppose that
a mere convention (for the term convocation' is pe-
culiarly inappropriate to the proposed assemblage),
irregularly constituted, and summoned from one side
only, will have more weight than the real and general
representation of the country, is absurd. The very
existence of such a body is wholly new and strange
to the Church of Scotland, to the law, and to the
Constitution : and to substitute a device of this kind
for the regular assemblies of the Church is ii itself a
schism. A declaration issuing from such a meet-
ing is the declaration of a party, and in joining it,
the ministers of the Kirk would divest themselves
of all the authority they owe to their position.
These consequences are so obvious. that we suspect
the real object which the promoters of the projec?
have in view is not so much to produce an effect on
Parliament and on the public by their remonstrances,
as to stir the enthusiasm which already exists in
Scotland on the question, and to pledge the waver-
ing adherents of the party to all the lengths which
their more fanatical leaders already contemplate.
Their intention is to strengthen their ascendancy
over the followers who have been attracted by this
revival of the spirit of the Covenant; and to add the
weight of numbers to the project for seceding from
the Church of Scotland. Hence their anxiety to ob-
tain the personal attendance of the n.inisters, though
at the risk of leaving more than half the pulpits in
Scotland empty on Sabbath 20th.' If this scheme
is carried into execution, and there is very little
doubt that the strong feeling of the majority of the
Scotch Church will induce numbers to join it, the first
act in this schism will be consummated ; and the
misguided men who may have abandoned their hum-
ble pastoral dd. es to take a more active part in the
high controversies of Church discipline and ecclesias-
tical polity, will find themselves embarked in a course
which can only lead to the most disastrous conse-
quences to religion, to their country, and to them-
selves."
The Post observes, in reference to the Penny-post-
age scheme :—" Our readers are aware that the great
man of the Anti-Corn-law League, who not only con-
centrates within himself the wisdom of all the 'seven
wise men of Greece,' but adds thereto the eloquence
of Demosthenes in making known his wisdom to tho
world—they are aware that this great man, the decres
CiAtialae Perm of the League,' was once upon a day
as wise and aS eloquent upon the subject of penny
postage as he now is upon the subject of the Corn- laws.
Mr. Richard Cobden was quite as ready to • prove,'
and to prophecy, anything or everything brilliant and
advantageous, from the penny postage before the ex-
periment was fried, as he now is to do the very same
things in respect to Corn-law repeal. In the year
1838, he was quite as confident in the wisdom of Mr.
Itavtlend Hill as he now is in his own wisdom, and
probably With just about as much reason. This
consideration, together with the plaintive notes of
some Whig Contemporaries on the subject of Mr.
'lowland Hill's cessation to receive a salary for assist-
lft Lords of the Treasury, has led us
to look into sofHt± of that gentleman's promises, and to
compare them with his performances. Our readers
will be so good as to bear in mind that he was infi-
nitely. more plausible than even the most plausible of
the Uffrtzla* repealers : that his glowing accounts of
the prodigious befit is which would flow from his
plan were earnestly adopted by thq sage judgment of
Nir. Richard Cobden, and that that eminent personage
put the projected Post-office revolution as all but
?van all equality with the repeal of the Corn-laws in
tie trfudigitifis advantages which would accrue to com-
merce from carrying it into effect. The country has
tried the plan, and even the wonderful ingenuity of
the eloquent Mr. Cobden himself will scarcely be able
to point out the prodigious advantages which com-
merce has reaped since the revolution in favour of
•theaptiess has been established. We call attention to
this, because it is fair to judge of one quackery which
hits noticieen tried by another which has been tried,
eSpeeitilly *ll6l/ the loudest and most confident pro-
moters of quaeltery the first are also the loudest and
most confident promoters of quackery the second."
The Chronicle says :—" At all the Conservative
agricultural meetings the Tories are perplexed by a
difficulty from which, we trust, they will ere long be
relieved by Sir Robert Peel. They voted for the
tariff, and the arguments by which the tariff is de-
fended go equally to defend a fixed duty on corn.
They say that the population of this island has nearly
doubled since the first authentic enumeration in 1801,
and that this enormous increase of population justifies
the substitution of a low import duty on cattle for the
prohibition which previously existed. True, worthy
sirs, but why distinguish between corn and cattle ?
The addition to the population is an argument for
more corn as well as more cattle. In a good

system of agriculture, green and white crops
ought to bear a due proportion to each other.
To obtain the means of - properly manuring the
land, so that extension of tillage may be followed
by a corresponding produce, more cattle ' must
be fed. To give to foreigners a - preference in the
supply of cr'at'e rather than corn, is not only irre.
Lut tendsi to injure agri-
concileable with principle,
culture. Sir Robert Peel maintained that the pot•ipk I
would be benefited by the reduced price of animal I
food, in consequence of the tariff, and in the same.
breath that the fa4..mers had nothing to apprehend
from importation. Some of the Tory speakers at the
agricultural dinners follow the same inconsistent
coutse. They tell the farmers that they ought to
sstnyttthisO with the manufacturers in their distress,
and reconcile themselves tO a reduetion in price, and
in the same breath they tell them that they have
nothing to fedi' froth iMportation, as there are no
cattle on the Coniiiiett pt 14(it dill' tiititk6t, It will
soon be seen whether cattle can or entiet he 'obtained
from the Continent ; but if they cannot be sifr ob.
tained, it must be because the price* tire ai high on
the Continent as here."
