Eustache, and several other men, were arrested under a

PUBLIC OPINION.
The Advertiser has an article suggested by the circum-
stance of a great Anti-Corn-law meeting in Manchester,
and the object of the article is to show that the system
of popular agitation on this question of questions must
be resolutely persevered in. " Let vigorously-worded
petitions," adds the Advertiser, " for the immediate and
complete abolition of the bread monopoly, be forthwith
prepared in every city, borough, village, and hamlet, in
the country ; and let them be ready for presentation by
the time the Legislature commences its sittings."
The Chronicle, referring to an announcement in yes-
terday's Times, ;hat Lord Ashburton is about to proceed
to the United States on a special mission, with the object
of settling all existing differences between that country
and our own, states that from his Lordship's con-
nexions, and the extent of his property within the Union,
his personal influence must be considerable ; and adds,
"we believe the mission originated in the best of mo-
tives, and could not be entrusted to a fitter person."
The Times, alluding to the ladies who have taken a
share in the Corn-law agitation at Manchester, observes,
" We have no time and no taste for enlarging upon
this painful subject. Presently we shall have the petti-
coat politicians of Manchester schooling us on the most
recondite questions of national policy."
