WAKLEY.  Mr. WAKLEY is for giving Sir ROBERT PEEL a fair trial. Why, Sir ROBERT is decidedly opposed to the repeal of the bread-tax ; Sir RoBERT took office to support that tax. He was carried into power by the monopolists; Mr. WAKLEY'S constituents are free traders. He is the servile instrument of the priesthood; Mr. WAKLEY is supported by those who are hostile to the Church. Sir ROBERT PEEL is the declared enemy of Extension of the Suffrage, of the Ballot, and of shortening Parliaments—he is the decided enemy of further organic change ; and how Mr. WAKLEY, who justly condemned Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S principle of finality, can show any favour to Sir ROBERT PEEL'S determined Conservatism surpasses our comprehension.  We cannot help Sir ROBERT PEEL being Prime Minister : the electors have so decided. We must submit to that evil, but it is something new not to regard the triumph of our opponents as an evil, and glory in the chains they impose. If Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S mere declaration of finality—to quiet his Whig friends, while, in fact, he always kept moving in his own direction, and at his own speed—was bad, Sir ROBERT PEEL'S determination to remedy no abuse he can maintain by the help of a maj9rity of corruptionists is detestable. To give him and the monopolists, the iniquitous bread-taxers, a fair trial, is like granting a notorious and detected pickpocket an opportunity of practising on the passers-by in the street, instead of placing him in the dock at the Old Bailey. If Mr.WAKLEY be sincere in avowing Radical principlcs, his conduct in smoothing the way of the starvation and aristocratic Alinjsters sexcessively silly. If he be not sincere the l e :natter rsohmotitslded, Navthleenast at the end first elected, o[7. tnheee necessary atlsiat:hehep procurehis trust into tl • the sanction of the. electors of Finsorreslgn nrydsf.br his conduct,  The Paris Journals of Tuesday have all reached us. Their contents are of no political interest. The National complains loudly of the injury done to its circulation by seizures upon charges which a Jury cannot be brought to entertain, and expresses a belief that the Government intends to crush political discussion altogether. No serious disturbances took place on Monday night. The following extracts from the Papers include what news they contain of any interest : The total amount of the receipts from the Octroi duty  of Paris, from the year 1830 to 1840, both inclusive NA 3007055,655 n  A. letter fr(  Several F  Berlin  be Swabian  ii;•eurv, says  .in par&ular lee Priif fia the • Order of the  , Eagle.

The presence here of General de Rumigny, and that of General Hocheleben at Compiegne, may be regarded as a favourable indication."  The Havre papers mention that the English steamer, the Grand Turk, on coming into harbour on Saturday, ran against the head of the jetty, broke her bowsprit and sustained other damage.  A few days since a servant girl at St. Omer having been told that to steam potatoes was the best way of cooking them, closed up an iron pot, in which she had put some to hod, with a luting of clay round the edge of the cover, and placed a heavy iron weight on the top to keep the steam in. An explosioii of course ensued, and the girl was severely scalded, but not dangerously. A correspondent at Mechlin writes to the Independant of Brussels :—" Two young men, one 21 and the other only 19, who, from their language and manners, seemed to belong to a wealthy family in Holland, committed suicide a few mornings since in the garden of one of our principal:hotels. Their names are unknown ; they had no papers with them ; and all that is known is, that they have been several weeks in Belgium, going repeatedly from Brussels to Antwerp in the public vehicles ; that they had a great deal of money with them • and passed a gay life, spending upwards of I,ooof. a-day. They left a note for the master of the hotel, in which it was merely ,aid that their parents would pay their debts." " Pope Gregory
