Every word which inculcates and , encou rages mutual good feeling, and especially which scrvrs to inspire respect for the suffering work men of the manufacturing districts, now deserve:; to be recorded in every journal of the empire. We quote with pleasure, therefore, in another place, the testimony of the Manc/teaer Times to the general good conduct of the Tore-outs. To some delight fill words from Lord FRANCIS EGER TOX We must give a more prominent place, as we cannot allow them wholly to pass by witliout a courn e n t. What we quote will speak fbr itself, but v - e omit the latter part of the Noble Lord's letter, .which speaks rather the language 'of wounded mill angry vanity than of the good and calm feelings of a reflecting and wise man:— TO TIP EDITOR OF Tun; MANCHESTER CCURIER. AVorsley. Aug . 18, 1842. :.4ir,—Your readers and 3-ourself will, I hope, acquit me of unnecessary ostentation if, at this junc:ture, I re %nest your insertion of the copy of an address which I have just received from a large body of colliers in my em ploy, with some Otplanation of the circums . ances which have produced it:— (Copy.) "Auglist 17, 1842. " To our - great and worthy master, the Right lion. Lord I.'rneis Egerton, his virtuous and most gracious Lady, Mr. Fereday Smith, and all in legal authority over us. " From a consciousness of the good feeling Which pre vailed amongst us when your Lordship addressed us in such an affectionate and kindly manner, we feel, as your Lordship stated, that we arc utterly incapable of ex pressing our gratitude and love tovkards you ; therefore, as with the voice of one ma: , , we declare our design that we arc willing, as far as life and safety seems probable to enable us, to defend your honour and all in connection. Your loyal and obedient Colliers." I shall be utterly misunderstood if I am supposed to desire the publication of this document with the:ohject of bringing under public notice any deserts of mine. The prat iewrgood which, with the best intentions, can be effected by one connected with a large mining popula tion, must be small. Any moral influence he can exert must he gradual, and any physical amelioration of their conditiim which the most felicitous combination of wis dom and liberality in his dealings can produce, must be both gradual and partial. I claim nothing for myself. I do claim, however, for the colliers of the Worsley dis triq!, that their conduct should be known and their feel 's npyreciated. It cannot be ,too` widely known h ow liberally the working chsses ef this country are disposed to reward, with their good will and affection, those to whom, right or wrong, they attribute stifilar feelings towards thew st lees. This is excellent testimony to the character of the working classes; and will Lord F. EGERTON, therefore, condescend to instruct all the mem bers of kis own class, how it is, when the " working classes are liberally disposed to reward with their good will and affection those to whom, right or wrong, they attri bute similar feelings towards themselves," that thcty are not universally respected and ho noured by the working classes ? Lord F. EGERTON, amiable as he is himself, must not shelter his glass under such accusations of others as cowardly instigators, "combined in cendiaries," fi)r the great mob is composed of working elass , es, whose hearts are filled with anv sentiments hut those of love and respect for the classes to which Lord F. EGERTON belongs. What do all the Chartists want? To deprive the aristocracy of their exclusive political' power. Would they seek that, if they loved, respected, and honoured the aristocracy ? Certainly not. The Turn-ouig„ therefore, whom Lord F. EGER TON nevertheless abuses, while he bears so flat tering a testimony to the virtues of the working classes in general, are a decisive proof that Lord F. EGERTON'S class have not so behaved as to merit the good will and affection of the work ing classes. If the working classes deserve, as we believe they do, all that Lord F. EGERTON says of them, why does not he and the rest of his class show them sympathy, and place confidence in them? 'Why will he not admit them to a full share of political power? If our memory is not trea cherous, Lord F. EGERTON took a prominent part in the session , ,,Which has just expired, in opposing the wishes of the working classes, whom he now discovers are liberally ready to reward those who trust them. As an individual, Lord F. EGERTON trusts them, and they love him; as a le giAlator, he mistrusts them, and converts them into de magogues, incendiaries, rioters, and Chartists. A great master of political wisdom, whose les sons are thrown away on this generation, and whose doctrines,_ under the name of Political Eco,nomy, which the .author of the Wealth of Nations despised and overthrew, are continually sneered at by ignorant witlings, taught the appa rently humble but important truth, ,".that what is wisdom in private life cannot be folly in States." Will Lord FRA NCIS EGERTON reflect on that, and instruct his compeers to reflect on it, while he tells theM that if they trust and respect the working classes, t h e wocking classes will tr us t and respect them ? At the same tune, we are not of opinion that the working classes are treated with respect when Lord F. EGERTON, or' his atents, watches over their breeding as he watches over his cattle, and considers them only as forming part of the wealth of his estate. BA while, accorcji t yg to Lord F. EGERTON, the working classes are so worthy of respect, in what manner are they treated by the military? We say nothing of working girls and working men shot by mistake, as if the hand of. the sol dier were not remarkably steady, and if he could not see, from some blinding cause, the rinpleaders of a mob—but we copy from a Tory Journal the following account of a chase, as if the working classes were to be hunted dwn for the :AM usement of newly-appointed Generals and tl.eir Staffs. The Manchester Correspondent of ife Standard writes eta fhllows, and the article wt s sent by express NIANCHESTER—SATunDAY. To- da v the soldiers have had a !Tule exercise and ex cursion, Int of the most harmless descriptiun ; and on the ‘vlu wethink they would scarcely have had better 31,0 rt if they Inui been invited to a fox-nunt. Vtir srveral days a large tract o land, about three milPs'from Manchester, between The Bolton and Bury ror:ds, ealledKersall-moor, has been the general rendez . v. us of tlAi disittl;t.ettil. • About ten e'clodt" this morning the colliers mustered at the Li 61111.1 place, and 7,one delegates from the distant worl;s ltarangurd them on the subject tsf the great dis tress that existed among their body, but adv7sed them to persist in their refusal to work. In the meantime, a mes senger had been despatched to Manchester to apprise the authorities of their proceedings and intentions. Determined to act with spirit and effect, the two Ge nerals, Sir Thomas Arbuthnot and Sir William Warre, and Staffs, Colonel Wemyss, and Messrs. Wankley and Wood, County Magistrates, with Captain Burke and two companies of the Ist Dragoons, two field-pieces of the Royal Horse Artillery, and two companies of the Grenadier Guards, accompanied by fifty of the police force and two omnibuses, left Manchester at noon for the locality of the rioters. They proceeded out of the Regent's-road, in the direction of Pendleton, and were guided in the track of the rioters, and came in. sight of theta in a field close to the Bury high-road, when the Generals and Staff, with ten dragoons, imniediately started off in advance. One look at the red-coats was suite sufficient ; no fox ever showed a creator desire for the security of his person than did these gentry•on breaking cover ; nor did ever a guerilla band take so many roads to safety. At the words " gallop—charge," the colliers gave leg-bail, setting off in all directions scampering over hedges, climbing gates, runnieg through hushes, leaping ditches, swimming the canal, and wading the river. But the dragoons were on them, and there was no chance. of escape, slid less disposition to resist. The Generals and Staff pur sued a party to the Bury and Bcton Cenci, it-cross which a barge Was !aid, with a plank to communicate with the oppoeite bank ; but in the scrambling to get over the plank gave way, and about a dozen were im mersed in the eater. The dragoons made for a bridge et e little distance, end were in time to cut off their t- cope, end to eateuee nine, two of whom were eo ex hausted by the Sl/using they had in the canal, that they ci add not walk. They were handed over to the police, who handcuffed then, and conducted them to an omni bus. The Staff then forded the river Irwel:, and pro ceeded to Henley, thence to Whitfield Church, got out on the Bury new road, and rode ep to a tract of moss or bog. Bore they found four men, who, on • being questioned, said they were pieeon-fiying to Oldham ; but the General, guspicious of their veracity, ordered them into custody. During this time the remainder of the detechmcnts had not been idle. Dividing . themselves, they made a wire circuit, ;weeping round in line style, and driving as it were the mob into dozene, making them prisoners, and hendieg them to the police. The detachment returned to Manchester about four o'clock, having fifty-seven prisoners, whom they teddy lodged in the New Bailey. One or two such examples as this, and intimidation • will soon be at an end. There was no one the least hurt in the capture. Two Generals and their Staffs found employ ment and •atuuSement in galloping down a poor colliers who, though they met at Kersall Moor, and talked of persisting . in their refusal to work, are not accused ofrioting or doing mischief to any body. Let them speak and spout, and their hearts will be relieved without burning down houses, or embruing their hands in blood. Stop them from speaking, and you make them assassins. It is so gallant, too, in artivA Generals, attended by an armed Staff, and fol lowed by armed dragoons, mounted on heavy horses, with two pieces of artillery, to,ride down English colliers, that it is worthy of 'an ex press to London to tell of it I We regret to see the—we dare not call it what it deserves to be called—but it certainly is not courageous con duct of the Generals and their Staffs, and of the police, now th at the danger is for the presentblown over—now that the people are returning to their work of their own accord—and now that the combination is, by the fine weather and the abun dant harvest, effectually broken up. We regret such conduct more than we can tell, be cause if anything can stir the bile and the blood of the people, snake them spiteful and re vengeful, it is this sort of hunting them by Generals and their Staffs for amusement. If the Turn-out become a great and organised political insurrection by Christmas, we shall be indebted fOr it to such bright achevements as that re corded by the Correspondent of the Standard. It will be seen from our report that a nun bor of persons gathered on and about Kenniugtou Common yesterday, notwithstanding a warning to the contrary, stuck about the neighbourhood by the police. We inquire not into the legality bf the warning, or into its propriety, and we presume not to defend the conduct of those who went thither. At the same time their offence might have been visited by a more appropriate and orderly punishment than was inflicted by the police. Instead of guarding all the avenues to the Common, and preventing persons occupying it— instead of occupying the Common as they might, it seems that the police allowed the crowd to collect, a table to be placed on the Common, a Chairman to be appointed, and speeches to be. commenced, which were stopped short by a fu rious assault of the police when they began tc refer to that body. A party of mounted po lice, it seems, armed with heavy cutlasses, and a party of police on foot, armed with their blud geons, galloped and rushed in on the crowd, knocking down all who stood in their way, and inflicting on several persons severe injuries and wounds. One of the Inspectors is described as taunting the people to a combat by using such language as this, " Come on you devils, we are ready fbr you." Similar words we are positively assured were several times repeated, as if there were a kind of drunken desire to provoke a quarrel in which the armed host was sure to be victorious. The .whole conduct of the police, with the language of the Inspectors, seems to us far better calculated to ensure a breach of the peace than to prevent it. We forbear at present from making any further comments on this proceeding, but if it be desired to fill the land with bloody outrages, if some men, now that tliey cannot carry on war abroad are desirous to engage hi that royal past time at home, they cannot fall on any method to attain their desire superior to that we have described in the present and in another article. For our parts, we think peace and harmony ex tremely desirable for a commercial community, arid we will do our best equally to hold up to public reprobation any stupid violence of the Turn-outs, and any wanton violence of the soldiery and the police. THE ANGLO-INDIAN ARMY IN AFFGHANISTAN..--• Mr. Wyld, of Charing-cross, has just published another valuable map connected with Affghanistan, by means of which the movements of the Anglo- Indian troops in that country are traceable with the greatest precision. The military positions of these routes, the heights of the various passes and moun tains of the country, together with the distances accurately calculated along the line of march, speci fically present to the inquirer a variety of important information. The map is further enhanced by an in sertion of the names of many ancient localities as they correspond to the modern topography. COURT' CIRCULAR.

SI2"N, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING-, AUGUST 23, 1842. SERIOUS DISTURBANCES ON KENNINGTON COMMON LAST NIGHT— CONFLICT WITH •THE POLICE. (FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.) Placards were extensively issued yesterday and circulated on the other side the water, fot the purpose of calling a meeting, to be held on Kennington-com mon, of the Chartists, to discuss the principle of the Charter and the pi-esent distressed state of . the eoun try. In consequence of this placard a public notice was immediately issued by Mr. Commissioner Mayne, cautioning persons not to assemble on Kennington common, end warning the public, that if a meeting were persisted in the utmost exertions would be made to take the persons so assembling into custody. These placards, of course, caused the neighbourhood of Ken nington to be in a very excited state. Several divi sions of police were stationed on and near the Com mon, fbr the purpose of preserving peace. Several troop of soldiers were also in the vicinity, with two or three pieces of cannon. By about half-past four o'clock in the afternoon the avenues leading to Ken nington-common showed the same appearance as on the days of the races at Epsom, ex cept that there were no carriages. The crowd continued to increase till about half-past five, when, on the Common and round it, there could not have been less than five or six thousand persons, com prising men, women,, and children, there being a great number of the later. The congregation con sisted chiefly of working men, with a great number of the white jackets. At six o'clock the Common had the appearance of a fitir. The:e were those well known gentlemen who place snuff-boxes on sticks to be thrown at with short sticks " three a penny." These gentlemen were there in abuncianee s On another part of the Common a party was playing at cricket, and everybody seemed in search of amuse meta rather than the .t!iscusson of politics. At about half-past six o'clock several of the persons appointed to address the meeti4arrived. on the ground, and a large table having 'been procured, was placed hi the middle of the Common, and an immense concourse of te;rsons gathered round - it. It was then moved that i Mr. Nortley do ..t `so the Chair, which, being seconded, the motion was carried amidst loud cheers. Tilts • Chairman their erdaliesel, a:few' observations to the assembled mulLitridtef- 'upon them to pre 7 serve good order towanititmiest,of‘thcir power. and to show a due submission Wthe hiwg. .1.-le -, then called upon Mr. Anderson to move the first resolntion, who commenced by saying that meetings like those could be defended upon erery principle of liberty. Ile was proceeding to condemn the conduct of the Blue bottles," as he rather aptly termed the police, when a loud cry was raised of " The Peelers, the Peelers !" On turning round, it was discovered that about e dozen of the horse patrol, armed with heavy cut• lasses, and backed by several divisions of police., were rapidly advancing upon the crowd. In another moment the horse patrol galloped into the assem blage, knocking down several persons, some of whom were severely injured. The vast multitude was then Seen flying m all directions, pursued by the horse patrol and the other police. The conduct of the police at this time, we cannot but say, was most in judicious. Persons who were on the Common as mere spectators, were knocked down with their staves without a word. From all parts of the Common, men were seen coming away with the blood streaming from their heads. One poor man, who said he had attended merely as a spectator, was struck to the ground, and a frightful wound was inflicted upon his head. Ile came into the road which runs along the side of the Common, and held up his neckcloth, which was completely saturated with blood, and cried out, " Englisninen, look at this ! Is this England that we live in ?" If any poor fellow happened to make the slightest resistance, he was knocked down, and then beaten severely about the head. Our reporter saw at least a dozen instances of this sort. But this was not all. We regret extremely to be obliged to say that the conduct of the Inspectors of police who were on horseback, was most unwarrant able. One of these individuals who appeared to be "the General," a short thick-set man, with a great quantity of silvery hair, and who appeared to be near sixty years of age, mede himself culpably conspicuous. Ile walked up ai d do ai the street waving his staff, and crying out to the filen in white jackets, " Come on you devils, we are ready for you." Some persons in the crowd called out " White headed Bob," and he turned round and said, " Let those people come up by my horse, and I will soon lay thorn down," at the .same time flourishing his staff over his head. Several times he cried out, " Come on, we are quite ready for you ;" and on one occasion of his doing so, some one in the crowd said, "We are not ready now, we shall be ready on Wednesday," and ho replied, " Very well, come when you will we are ready for you." One of the Inspectors came up to this man and said, " Shall we gallop them down ' and he gave him the order. to do so, and the man galloped off at full speed across the Common, appearing determined to execute the order to the utmost. The crowd continued to increase till about nine o'clock, when the place 'became a little more tranquil, and by eleven o'clock, the time at which our reporter left, the multitude had. very con siderably decreased. The police were, however, to remain on duty all night. They continued to take parties into custody who refused to . "move on," and the police station must be crowded with charges. A great number of persons were, of course, wounded — many of them seriously. We cannot conclude our account of what took place without expressing our conviction that if . the police had not interfered all would have passed off quietly, as at the beginning of the evening, as we before remarked, the appearance of the place was more like a fair than anything else, the people appearing to be in search of amusement. THE WOMEN OF THE INSUR- RECTION. One of the most hide6us features of the present in surrection among the working classes, is the turn-out of women! Many thousands of women, mothers of families, have travelled from Lancashire into York shire during the past week, urging on the men, and supporting them in the daring work they have un dertaken to do. Can any one measure the vast amount of suffering which has been necessary thus to invert all the laws of nature, and to draw woman forth from her home, which is her true sphere, into the bustle, turmoil, rioting, sabreing, aid shooting, of this frightful insurrection? From the commencement of the strike, the women have mixed in all its excitement, and taken part in all its dangers. Thousands were to be obs&ved on Skircoates Moor, near Halifax, on Tuesday, many of them fifty miles from home, as determined in their strike as any of their male companions. They urged the men to retaliation, raising the howl of indignation against their " oppressors" and " tyrants." Is not the entire scene calculated forcibly to remind us of the early events of the French Revolution, which, in the striking language of Burke, arose " Amid the fierce cries and violence of women !" Picture the scenes on Halifax-heath=the encamp ment of about fifteen thousand people on the purple heather, the women collected together in groups, singing Chartist songs, and stirring up the men to rescue the prisoners which had been made ! These women also entered Halifax - almost at the head of the mob. When they reached the North-bridge, where the military were drawn up to oppose their progress, numbers of women sprang forward and seized the horses' bridles to turn them aside, exclaim ing to the soldiers, " You wouldn't hurt women, would you ?" On one of the infantry presenting his bayonet at a woman's heart, she put it aside, saying, " So, no, we want not bayonets, but bread !" words which furnish a key to the entire movement of the working classes. The " rebellion," from beginning to end, is one of the belly." It is only those who are, or have long been in want of bread, who have joined it. There . is no wealthy person among the turn-outs—no middle class man or shopkeeper, and exceedingly few of the . better-paid class of operatives. '1 hey are all of them of the worst paid class, wretchedly b oar, and reduced by long continued starvation to a state bordering almost on the condition of savage life. There is no bread in the homes of the Lancashire mothers; hence are they driven out like famished hyenas in search of food for themselves and their offspring. We observe that the same feature — characterizes the strike in every part of the country. In the Stafford shire Potteries, the women cheer on the men, hoot at the soldiers and the magistrates, and take part in all the riots and assemblages. Can any one predict the end of these things ? Remember, the class to which these women belong, constitutes the nation : the children which they rear man our fleets, and sup ply our armies. It is the women who train an I rear them, who instil into them their opinions, principles, and feelings, be they right or be they wrong. What may be the issue of the present state of things, if not promptly remedied ? Whv, that in a few years the entire working population athe country, soldiers and sailors included, will be trained into deadly hatred of the Government, the authorities, the upper classes, and the entire institutions of the State Surely, these considerations ought to be sufficient to induce all classes to combine heartily for an ame lioration of the bitter grievances of which the working classes have so long complained.—Leeds Times. We have learnt within the last few days that Lord John Russell has signified to Lord Palmerston, in an swer to representations made by the latter, ai to the ne ces,,ity of the Liberals advancing with the popular feel ing, that, closely connected as he (Lord John Russell) is with the Bedford family, be could not consent to be a party to further reform ; and that therefore he thinks it were better if the Opposition would look out for some other leader before the crimmencetnent of another Par liamentary campaign.--Morning Advertiser. LRRATUM.—WQ have to apologise to Sir Benjamin Heywood. We remembered yesterday his exertions to found a Mechanic's Institute at Manchester, and to promote the improvement of his fellow-men.

Address in full, Benjamin Falgington, '2, Duke-street, South wark. A Warehouse at 20:4, Piccadilly. C7 7l' 4'4 tgL . to j Rte', , SUN OFFICE Three o' Clock. We gave an account this morning ; , furnished by one of our own reporters ; of the meeting at Kenning ton •common last evening, and of the violent conduct of the police towards an unarmed multitude. As the violence of the police seemed so totally inexPicabie, we suspected tilery might be some exaggeration, and therefore modified the report till we could a certain whether the circumstances were so bad as represented. From various parties we now learn with regret that the account given of the violence used by these preservers of the pub7ie peace was not at all exaggerated ; but, on the contrary, did not come up to the whole truth. ,Alen, women, and chil dren were thrown clown by the galloping of the mounted policemen; persons were severely beaten by the police constables, without the slightest grounds for such a wanton assault ; and . even some of the men themselves were knocked .lown in the furious el arge in ;de by their mounted Superintendents. Whilo a, gentleman belonging to this office was walking quietly along, suspecting no danger, a policeman came behind him with his baton, unawares, struck him, and kneeked him don n, A Su perintendent or Inspector, came galloping upon him it that moment, and it wv,s only. by a miracle that he escaped being trampled to death. We have from at least seven persons accounts of FiL , milar outrages, all of thiir committed without the 's!ightcst provocation, or even warning.. This .is not merely cruel and disgraceful conduct, it is dangerous to the peace of the ( community, and if per sisted in; will render this new police fore the most obnoxious body ever constituted to preserve public order. It appears, besides, to have been totally uncalled for. There was no violence used by the people, and no confusion or disturbance, till a general,nssault was made by some thousand policemen on about four times the number of. unoffending men, women, mid children. Ave will make no further remarks on this painful subject at present, from a hope and belief that the Home Government will institute a rigid inquiry and bring the guilty parties to condign punishment. Other Journals also notice the violence of the armed force. The Tory Post states that the police made a general charge, and several persons were knocked down in attempting to escape. The Tory Herald takes a still stronger view of the bad conduct of the police, and animadverts on it in the following judicious remarks : These dispersions by the police were nut conducted with the order and moderation which are always expected from a well-regulated civil force. In the first place, a few very small sections could easily have prevented the assembling together of the per sons alluded to ; in the next place, the pell-mell style in which the police ran towards and scrambled over the railings, had a very ridiculous appearance and produced a very ridiculous effect. Such a mode of action is not at all calculated to gain for a civil force the merit of being operated upon by a cool and unimpassioned sense of duty. Besides, there was in fact, nothing to warrant a sort of running attack npcn the idle and curious. It may be good policy to cool down the ardour of the political incendiaries and rogues and vaga bonds who assemble on such an occasion, but this is to be done rather by clever tactics and determined firmness, tem pered by moderation, than by the very'hurried, somewhat immoderate, and impolitic way in which the thorough fares in the vicinity of the common were cleared by the police yesterday evening. We believe that a few cases of slight resistance to the police on the part of several Chartists and some obstinate and foolish spectators oc curred ; that a few fellows were taken into custody ; and that a number of• persons will have reason to re member the policemen's barons. There was an over whelming police force in requisition, suffieient indeed to have held in check all the Chartists in and within 100 miles of the metropolis. Acts of Parliament, .as has been often observed, are by - . no means remarkable for conciseness and per spicuity of language. Generally speaking, their prin cipal object seems to be, to convey the least possible quantum ormeaning in the largest possible quantum, Of verbiage. As the Diitchladiea of old, according to the amusing historian, KNICKERBOCKER, used to envelope their persons in ten or a dozen pairs of petticoats, so in the majority of our Acts: of Parlia ment, the simplest facts, which might be sufficiently explained in a line, are not unfrequently encumbered by at least a dozen. sentences—to say nothing of clauses,•riders, and such like supplemental serve no other purpose than to nuisances, which teaze, perplex, and mystify. This is particularly the ease as regards the Income-tax Act, which—if ob scurity be a source of the sublime—is certainly among the sublimest prose compositions in the language, and every way worthy of that Minister who told his " faithful Commons " the other day, that the guiding principle of his legislation was a generous love of fame ! We have made many at tempts to fathom the meaning of this most enigmatical Act, but hitherto with but very indifferent success — and no wonder ; for even its framers seem perfectly aware of its unintelligible character, and accordingly refer all those who may be - in the same blessed state of ignorance as ourselves, to . their respective local Assessors, who are enjoined to play the part of schoolmasters on the occasion, and "teach the young idea how to pay!" We see also by several advertisements in the daily journals, that certain gifted individuals, who, like cats, can see in the dark—that is to say, can grope their way even through the Cimmerian gloom of an Act of Parliament—undertake to explain all the mysteries of the Income-tax Act for the small charge of one shilling, discreetly adding, however, that this charge will be raised in proportion to the time employed in explanation. How complimentary is this fact to the clear and lucid understandings of those who drew up the notable Act in question ! One would actually suppose that they had drawn it up in Sanscrit, and needed the aid of dragomans or inter preters, to make - its meaning obvious to the public ! We understand that people are rushing in all di.- rections, in order to seek a solution of this financial Conundrum, and that there is scarcely an Assessor in the metropolis who cannot - boast of as many pupils as Doctor HAwTREY of Eton. For our own parts, we are hopeless of ever being able , . to discover any other meaning in the Income• tax Act than just . this— namely, Ministers want money, and Ministers will have it! • The Paris papers of Sunday have been received, accompanied by the usual continental advices.

It appears, however, that they have been a little checked at Tlernecen, in consequence of a consi derable duty,imposed by the Emperor Abdherraman, on cattle and wool exported from Morocco. We have in this town the Colonel and Lieutenant-C&onel of the 2d Regiment of Chasseurs of Africa. These officers have applied to .have their regiments collected at Oran, in order to prepare for the inspection ;. but it appears that the superior authorities have not been able to comply with their request. The country, it. is • true, had sub mitted, but it i; still in arms, and it is thought proper to leave untouched the division of Mascara and Mosta ganem, which are to be constantly in readiness to march against Abd-el-Kader. The Emir has still some hun • Bred horsemen with him. By his promises and threats he has succeeded in awing some fractions of the tribes whose horsemen are gone to join him. It is necessary, too, that the chiefs lately given to the -Arabs by the French authority, should be able to depend, till further orders. on prompt and effectual assistance.—Le Ton lonnais. THE WEA T ER VRIDAY .—The heat of the weather increases in 'intensity. Even et twelve o'clock on Wednesday night the thermometer was as high as 27.2-10 of the c;ntigrade scale, Si of Fahren heit ; and, although at six yesterday morning it got dfmn to 22 5-10 C., 79i- F., by two in the. afternoon it had risen to 35 C., 95 F.; the highest point it has realised this year, and, indeed, for many years. A complete change took place on batv.ri:ay morning at an early hour, and refreshing showers faliin; nearly all the after noon, relieved the apprehensions which had existed from the great heat. Slight symptoms of cholera had been manifested, but the returns from the hospitals exhibited 'no great degree of . siehness.

In this time the Chamber has lnid fifteen public sittings, in some of which M. Laffitte presided, and in the other six M. Sanzet, the President. The examination of the validity of the elections occupied six sittings—two were devoted to the contested elections, and to the de bates on the inquiry. The organisation was made in these sittings. Lastly, the Regency Bills occupied four sittings. The Minziteur, of the 2lst, has no official part.

A, German journal, called the LatSenbat, gives the following account of what it. designates as one of thotie wonders .in which electrical chemistry is so fer tile :—" A. pupil of Berzelius, who was occupying himself in Sweden with galvanic gilding, having used. in his apparatus. the skin of a sheep, on which there was some of the wool remaining, perceived that they became partially covered with the gold. Struck with the incident, he followel up the idea it suggested, and in time produced an. entire golden fleece, pre serving the wool in its original and natural state as to its texture and flexibility.. Living in a village, the young savant showed the wonderful production to his. neighbours ; but the fanatical and ignorant peasants, regarding him as a practiser of the black art, called his laboratory the devil's workshop, and compelled him to fly with his fleece to Upsal, where, however, the members of the University established a new laboratory for him, and aided him in applying his new discovery to the manufacture of woollen cloth. We may therefore expect to have shortly cloths of gold, silver, and platina (for this mode of gilding is very • durable), which will entirely supersede our present gold lace and embroidery.

His debts, which were 'considerable (amounting to between 11,0001. and 12,000/.), were chiefly upon bills of ex change, many of which were stated in his schedule to he without consideration, having been contracted in connection with sporting transactions.

The prisoner told a very straightforward story. He had been at work all last week at Mr. Pousford's, of Paddington, and was going there to fetch his tools; seeing a mob of persons he went round by the embankment to avoid it. He positively denied hav thrown a stone, or ever having attended a Chartist meeting in his life. The policeman must have been mistaken. . Thomas Beardon, a respectable carpenter an d a housekeeper, who until called on had been out of Court, confirmed the prisoner's statement in every particular. Two other witnesses came forward and gave the prisoner an excellent character for quietness, honesty, and sobriety. The policeman still persisting in his assertion, Mr. JARDINE remanded the prisoner till to-morrow. Bail was accepted for his appearance.

They were doomed to be disappointed, as a ll the charges will be investigated before the Magistrates at, Bow-street. Finding that their friends who were i . ll custody did not mak e th e i r a ppearance, they vented., their spleen on the police, by hissing and shouting at every one that passed. Several men were taken unto custody, and held to bail for their future conduct. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEW S. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
