The persons who first forgot the real object fbr which he tells us the constabulary were appointed, and Who taught the police to forget it too, were the middle and upper classes, and, last of all, Sir JAMES GRAHAM. They it was, who, forgetting that the civil powers were appointed for the pro te.wetion of the lower classes, taught them •that their proper business was to assist in coercing them, devoting the rest of . t4eir.labours to the protection of the property and persons of the rich. Doubtless, as a con stitutional doctrine, nothing can be more correct than the statement of the Learned Judge; but in practice it has long become obsolete: A S4cretary of State has pitted . the . con stabulary against the operatives; and the Universal cry now is, that the working classes find, instead Pi protectors, inveterate ene mies in the police. They allege, and we fear not untruly, that more constabulary solicitude is ma nifested for a rich man's dog, than for the life of itu industrious artisan or small shopkeeper, each the father of a helpless family. We.bave the Journals of Madrid and Barce lona of the 30th of August. The Patriote of Madrid says that the statement of the Eco del ':joninaercio, that the Ministry has it in contemp lation, to organise a secret po li ce fb r Spain, is :fit!se."The bands of Estramadura and La Manche still keep the field; they get recruits from the .12 ' 111 comrades of Pidillos and Orejita.

A. FERNANDEZ DE GAMBOA. Nadrid, Aug. 20, 1842." Th ,Right of Search question, the corn e 1 relations of Belgium with Germany, atad the Eastern quest i on, form the principal 16 Pies of remark in the French Journals. fThe C onstitutionnel is quite out of temper with ~X..ngland for not succumbing to the blows of the ,-;nartists, the Affg,hans, the Chinese, and, more terrible than all, the threats of little. Monsieur Tu.ttas. The substance of our Gallic Contem be Porary's complaints of "perfidious Albion" may summed up in the pithy query of the Irish woman, addressed to the bed-ridden consoler of her third widowed affliction, " Arrah, why don't die my jewel?" Th e C onstitutionnel proves st logically that, according to the rules of :! A LEN, HIPPOCRATES, and all the distinguished lelnbers of the faculty of medicine, England ought to have died long ago ; and yet, instead of having done so, and composed herself de- B ntly; in h er grave b y the side of Carthage, " abylo; Imperial R ome , and Venice, the Queen, of the Adriatic," she shouts free dom in the ears of the sable sons of Africa, and engages the United States to co-operat e with. her in;aholishing an inhuman traffic, dear only to avarice and revolutionary France! No ; Eng land is. not dead nor dying; and therefore the I I Editor of the Constitutionnel may save himself' the trouble of writing her epitaph. French po liticians are not over-ambitious of being laughed at 3 nevertheless, insensible as Englishmen gene rally are to the charms of humour, there are few of them who will not laugh at the extract from the .COnstitutionnel, given in our Foreign Sum hary really 'a ge m i n i ts way. Neither e Cligkvari nor Punch has published anything e qual•tO',it.. What new perfidy in perfidious Albjuil.nOt to give u p th e g h ost when invited to do , so accomplished a master of ceremonies the':Court of the " 6iug of Terrors" as M. THIE*S! It is indeed a crime not to be forgiven by t he aQcredited organ of the ex- Minister. But the truth:is, France begins to grow ashamed of her IllondOtt upon the Right of Search question. There4a something so shuffling in first pro- P°Binethat treaty, and forcing it upon the adop tkm or Austria, Prussia, and Russia, and after -IVards refusing to ratify it, that nearly every man 4 Prance, with the exception of M. THIESS and 44 Partizans, hangs his head when the treaty is ' O W Spoken of. Even that faction is mad at the re port of its adoption by the United States, Vthielplaces France a second time in a state he discreditable isolation. The foul abuse" of e6it aitutionnel is, therefore, but a natural 2? I nse'cluence of the false position, in which the 4111 Ens faction have contrives to place France.

SUMMARY OF NEWS AND apintott. " Ino runs may read.' FOREIGN. The leading articles of the Paris journals do ntst possess much interest. Almost the only vii tteserving of attention is in the Deb a t t on tie ordonnance of the King of the Belghns respecting the silks and twines of Germany. Our readers are aware that the Bel gian Government has been very roughly handled by the gentlemen of the Parisian Press, who have ex pressed their opinions upon the pleasure in question. The Debuts, however, has not adopted the same course. This journal excuses the ordonnance on the ground of the national desire of the Belgians to obtain new markets for their produce, and recommends that France, instead of showing resentment against her for attempting to conciliate Germany, should draw closer the bonds of union with Belgium, and make it the interest of that counq in all m a tt ers o f com merce to cling t o France. or this purpose theDebats advises that the negotiations of 1841 for a Customs union between the two countries should be resumed. The following is a specimen of the style in which M. Thiers' paper, the Constitutionnel, speaks of Eng land. rt must have a contemptible notion of the un derstanding of its readers :—" See that perfidious Albion, though her empire be menaced in India, and her armies in jeopardy in China—though insurrection is at the gates of London, and the three kingdoms on the very brink of destruction, see this perfidious and execrable England will not die. The fact is, England hopes to repair all her losses, all her disasters, by ob taining the right of search. Thi s w ill compensate her loss of India, by the tremendous preponderance which it will give her over every slave brig and gum vessel of France. . It will enable her to put Abd-el- Kader on the throne of Algiers, and to sell her cot tons in the markets of the Great Desert; for it is always at opening markets for her manufactures that this nation of shopkeepers aims ; and the right of search, we know, is calculated to throw then to the perfidious Albion all the ports of the world.' The French Government has invited the four great commercial ports to send a delegate to Paris to form part of a Commission, which, in conjunction Kith Al. Galos, head of the Colonial Department, and Al. Maisonneuve, the Director of Foreign Trade, are to inquire into the difficulties which the gum trade of Senegal gives birth to each year. Amongst other remedies which have been tried, was an association of farmers of the revenue, to which the Government of Senegal gave their sanction, and from which much was expected. Intelligence received from Senegal, however, shows that those hopes have not been realised, as the trade has failed this year, the Moors having organised a resistance to the association. According to the Quotidienne, the amount voted by the Chamber of Deputies for the fortifications of Paris will fall very short of the expenditure. Of the 140 millions voted, 75, it says, have already been ex pended, and 25 are due to the contractors, so that 40 millions only remain. The Quotidienne, in order to show that these 40 millions vt ill not go very far, observes, that the forts of Mont-Valerien, I'Est, St. Denis, ?antin, Noisy -le-Sec, Rosnv, Vincennes, Cha renton, Ivry, and Issy, are not halt finished ; that the forts of St. Denis, l'O ues t, N ogent, Bicetre, are not a quarter finished; and that those of Vanvres, Mon trouge, Courbevoie, Aubervilliers, St. Maur, and Vine d'Avray, are not begun. A Berlin letter, of the ht instant, informs us that the King of Prussia has issued an order for the meet ing of the Committees of the Provincial States on the 18th of next month, in order that he may consult them before coming to a decision on the following points ;-1. The arrangements for the diminution of taxes, promised for the Ist of January, 1843. 2. The establishment of a general railroad communication be tween the States, at the expense of the Government. 3. A Bill respecting river navigation. Letters from St. Petersburgh in the Augsburg Ga zette admit the bad news from Circassia. It was brought by an officer who arrived a little before the intended fetes in July. The struggle lasted four days. The Russians lost a great number of men. The Court leave St. Peterburgh for Zarscjezelo till the winter. MONEY—T RADE — COMMERCE. A meeting of the South Staffordshire iron and coal tnasters, and a deputation of men from the various pits, took place at West Bromwich on Wednesday, with a view to an amicable settlement. Lord Dartmouth presided, and during the course of the meeting it was stated that nearly all the pits had been set •to work during the last two days at the old prices, the pro posed reduction having been abandoned by some masters. The whole district, it is hoped, will now quickly resume labour. The Paris and Rouen Railroad, owing to English industry, will be now fully completed by three years' labour. From the Report read by Mr. Locke, the engineer, at the late meeting, it appears that without the continuation of the railroad to Havre, the journey from Paris to London will, by May next, be able to be effected in seventeen or eighteen hours, including stoppages, so that any person leaving London in the morning at five may arrive at Paris at about eleven at night. At Manchester the weavers are the principal parties now standing out for increased wages; the other ope ratives are mostly at work. Two or three small mobs and petty outrages occurred on NV ednesd ay,an d the ring leaders were apprehended. Stockport still continues somewhat excited, but the " Ashton boys" have re turned to the mills. AGRICULTITR.A.L. Hop-picking, in the districts of Mereworth, Canter bury, Ticehurst, and Battle, will be general this week. At Nlaidstone, it is feared, the bines will only afford a " top-crop," and in other places shortness of yield is expected. ELECTIONEERING. Mr. Hamilton has issued his address to the electors of the Dublin University, in opposition to the Go vernment candidate, Mr. Smith, whom he pledges himself to stand against, or any other person. He states his opinions as opposed to the grants to the Board of National Education, and the College of Maynooth. NAVAL AND MILITARY. The Hon. Lady Pakenham will present the 16th or Bedfordshire Regiment, with new colours on the 30th inst., being deputed in the stead of its Colonel in Chief, General Lord Beresford, who is labouring under ill health. LAW AND POLICE. It is understood that a Special Commission will be issues for Cheshire for the trial of prisoners committed for offences connected with the turn-out, to be held in October. The number for trial is at present below 100. Several prisoners charged with riot were examined on Monday at Ashton, and remanded. The trials of the rioters at Heywood, near Bury, came on at the Salford Sessions on Tuesday, when upwards of 85 prisoners were found guilty on dif ferent counts, 19 of whom were recommended to mercy as having been misled. The sentences were deferred. TINE ARTS. Twelve statues of the following remarkable per sonages have been ordered by the Prefect of the Seine to decorate the Hotel de Ville :—They are Michel Lallier, who being a Provost of the Trades in 1436, drove the English out of Paris ; La Vacquerie, who said to the Parliament, "We are here to render jus tice, and for nothing else." William Bude, cele brated for his learning , Mathieu Mole, Vincent de Paule, Robin, the Abbe de l'Epee, Jean ',Aubry, Hardouin-Mansard, Le Voyer d'Arenson, kobert Etienne, the printer ; M. Frochot, Pretect of the Seine in the time of the Empire. THEATRICAL. The new play, to he called Love's Sacrifices, or The Rival Merchants, is in daily rehearsal at Covent garden, and will be brought out on Monday next. Drury-lane is to open on Saturday, the Ist of Oc tober, when the performances are to consist of Shak speare's As You Like It, with Mrs. Nisbett as Rosa lind ; and a new farce. The opening is a week later than was anticipated. c OURT-PASEMON.A ELE. The Archduke Frederick of Austria, commanding the Austrian frigate Bellona, is on his way from is bon hither, and apartments have been taken for him at Mivart's Hotel. _ The Duke of Beaufort has arrived at Badminton Park from Brighton. The :Marquis of Winchester has left town for Brighton. The Earl of Pembroke, from ill health, is staying at the waters of Aix la Chapelle. Walter Savage Landor, Esq., the author of the " Imaginary Conversations," is at present on a visit to the Countess of Blessington, at Gore House. NXISCthadiNEOUS. Lord Eliot has enclosed a subscription of .50/., in a letter to the proprietor of the World newspaper, to wards a fund for defraying the expenses of a prosecution against that journal. Her Majesty has assured two Noble Dukes, it said, that she will not fail to visit the west of Scot land next summer. The Duke of Luxembourg, it is rumourod in the fashionable circles, is about to lead to the hymeneal altar Miss Cochrane, sister to Baillie Cochrane, Esq., M.P. for Bridport. There is not the slightest truth in the report of the intended resignation of Mr. Phillips, the Under Se cretary for the Home Department. It is a singular coincidence, that when Queen Mary came from France tc her Scottish dominions, she ar rived in the Leith roads before the members of the Council-chamber were stirrirg. Provost Maccalzeon flew down the street with the silver keys in his hand, and made as much haste as any member of a city corpo ration could do, but neither he nor the Baillies arrived in time. Two houses fell down in the village of Marsden at PIE SUN, LONDON', MID AY MORNING, 81"1 1 EMBER 9, 1842. Nottingham on Wednesday last.

Some statistics relative to the fisheries carried on by the citizens of the United States, received by the last arrival ; have, to a certain extent, caused an alarm among our merchants. These accounts show that the produce of oil from American fishing is increas ing, while that carried on by our vessels in the North Seas is falling off. Each of these facts is correct, but at the same time that this admission is made, the larger import of Southern oil, and the circumstances under which the Greenland trade has declined, must be taken into consideration. For a number of years the Dutch were the first who fished on the shores of Greenland, where large settlements were formed fbr the puipose of carrying it on, and they had for a long time the monopoly of the trade. By degrees the whales migrated north ward, and our more enterprising countrymen took up what was to them a new branch of commerce, and which had been abandoned by the original dis coverers of it as not being sufficiently profitable. The same cause which led the Dutch to give the trade up, has obliged us to abandon it in a great degree, and the fish, from the in terruption they have received, have now proceeded to such a distance as to render it impossible to follow them ; therefore, while the produce of our Northern fisheries has dwindled to a mere nothing, it has been pushed so far that no competitor can be found to take it up. These circumstances, and the progressive colonization of the British possessions in the Southern Ocean, have led to the prevention of it in those seas, for which the deficiency has been supplied. The Americans have been fishing there also. The manner in which it is now obtained has caused a complete revolution in the trade. It was the custom to fit ships out at an enormous expense for a voyage of certainly three years, which was frequently protracted to four, and with the prospect of an uncertain return, :nade consequent loss to all concerned in the adven ture, inasmuch as each man on board had as much in terest in the cargo, pecuniarily, as the owner of the vessel. The increasing commerce of New South Wales caused the first step in an improved arrange ment ; and the quantity of oil procured now is in reality greater, although it would appear from figures that our fisheries are greatly decreasing. The solu tion of this apparent contradiction is here :—The British residents in Australia send out ships at a small expense, and upon voyages of short duration, and land their cargoes at Sydney, &c., from whence it is brcught to this country, as an item of general cargo, instead of fishery, although more ton nage is employed in carrying and taking it ; and by this division of distance, much saving is effected to the ship-owner, with an increased profit to him, and a reduction to the consumer. For instance, the quantity of oil shipped from Van tiiemen's Land in 1835 was 2,154 tuns ; in 1838 it had increased to 4,801 tuns ; in 1832, New South Wales employed amounting twenty-two t nßa w ginrn O di t vessels, itisolnhB 311881286 w 75 hi thu fifty - threens. broughtwThhi whi c h h back vailiau de 1,6 0 9 f 5 tu t hn cargoesthe in w g as im n p ,2 orzd . ; i l n B t 3 o 7, V l3 al s l ,2 D lo i l e . -; oilm e n o f and from the official accounts published it will be seen that all these figures will have materially increased since those periods. It will thus be seen that the trade has merely been transferred from one name to another, but has not been diminished in favour of any other country. The quantity'of oil brought into the United States, shows an increase in the last over former years, but nothing in the proportion above given, or in fact not equal to what might have been expected from the rapid improvement which has taken place in the commercial marine of that na tion ; and by the accounts which for some time past have arrived from the Southern colonies, it would appear that the number of American ships decrease as the British make greater progress in forming towns and sea-ports. The conclusion would seem to be, that no great fear should exist that this branch of commerce, so valuable to us, is in any danger, if it be properly fostered; and as New Zea land and its immediate neighbourhood have now become the principal fishing grounds, and any ag gressions in that quarter, which are increasing both by . France and America, who are endeavouring to gain a footing there, should be most jealously repelled. (From The Sun of Last Night.) The Money Market is extremely flat, and very few bargains have been entered into this morning. Con sols are 921 93 for Money, and 934 934 for the Account. Three-and-a-Half per Cents, 1011; New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. 1014 1014; Bank Stock, 166 for the opening. The abundance of money causes Exchequer Bills to maintain their price, the New being 49 51, and the Old, 51 53 prem. Foreign Securities have been neglected, but prices are firm : business to-day has been confined to Dutch Five per Cents. at 1021. The quotation for Mexican Bonds has given way from 36 to 351. In Shares, Great Western have been sold at 831, the Half Shares 604; Bristol and Exeter, 451 454; London and Birmingham, 183 ; Birmingham and Gloucester, 43 ; York and North Midland, 904 ; and Brighton, 331. A bargain in the Spanish Five per Cents. at 161, and another in the Three per Cents. at 214, comprise the whole of the dealings in the Bonds. A better feeling has been exhibited in the produce market within the last few days, and more disposition has been shown to purchase goods. This is parti cularly to be noticed in regard to such articles as form part of general consumption, or are employed in ma nufactures. The amount of the probably small quantity of indigo which will be made this year has induced holders to ask higher prices, but previously to the arrival of the last mail 2d. to 3d. per lb. advance on quotations of the July sale had been freely paid. This, and a corresponding sale in co chineal, gums, &c., would lead to a belief that both capitalists and manufacturers entertain expectations of an improved demand for goods for shipping, which is somewhat confirmed by the intelligence from most foreign ports, in which commerce had been so much depressed.

In 2" Vols. By Sir Bietard Henry Bonnycastle. London, Henry CuBurn. • We are not acquainted with any work which we could so honestly recommend for the guidance of settlers in Newfoundland as the volumes now before us, from the fertile pen of Lieutenant-Colonel Sir It. Bottnycastle. As a sequel to his " Canadas in 1841," it supplies a body of information exceedingly valuable —the accumulation of extensive research, and laborious personal investigation. First, •we have a very interezting historical sketch of the early settlement of the island; next, its history down to the current year—an account of its mineral, vegetable and animal productions—its climate and meteorology--its agricul tural resources—its moral and physical relations, go vernment, and policy—its fisheries, trade, shipping, and revenue, lightened off with an abundance of anec dotes of the manners, customs, and "pe&iliarities of ears testimony that politics,its hab i s ta i r n Bon oug n n y c c o a n s s t t e an b tly squa bbli ng a b ou t " the people are very orderly, and respectful to their superiors ; temperance has enrolled under its banners the greater proportion, and housebreaking and serious crimes are actually unknown ; and that it is univer sally admitted that there is no country in the civilized world, where greater simplicity of manners, or less crime exists, than in Newfoundland." The future historian of this fine colony will turn to this work with pleasure and profit. It is embellished with Lome good views, an excellent map of the island, and a portrait of the GoVernor, Sir John Harvey. POLICE ABUSES, TO THE` EJiITOII OF THE SUN. " Lords of the street, and terrors of the viay."— DR. &lift; Midi : I SlR,—Amng the many noxious weeds which have didt up from the soil of a corrupt system, few, if any, are more rampant than those disgraceful abuses which have, for some time past, dishoticatred the character and operations of our "Police Force." While s how' ever, I would express my sentiments (and that freely) With reference to this important subject, I must ac knowledge that I dci riot rank myself with those who oppose the institution in tote. The police force, as a protective body, might be productive of benefit the most essential to the community. A number of trained officers constantly on duty, to guard the pro perty of a wealthy city, and overtake the outrages of public delinquents, are, indeed, almost necessary to the well-being of society. The many deep stains which are continually blotting the calendar demand some preventative regulation ; and when we take into consideration the daring and blood-thirsty violence of the majority of offenders, or the eluding manoeuvres practised in evading justice, we must necessarily conic to the conclusion, that a vigilant body of police, constantly on duty, is a desideratum in civil economy, too important to be slightly regarded; but while (free from abuse) the institution of a constabulary force, like that of the police, would be an essential blessing to society at large, it is capable of becoming an abominable nuisance, little or nothing short of a national curse. This latter conclusion has, I think, teen fully established by the scandalous outrages which have so long been perpetrated by the vulgar members of this detestable body. From the moment of their entering on duty the police officers have been on the retrograde in point of public decorum ; and nosy they have arrived to such a pitch as to be alto gether intolerable. Not only do they assume the haughty consequence of high legal authorities, but in numberless instances inflict summary chastisement on their victims. In addition to this crying evil there is another, which, though of a more latent description, is equally blasting to the safety of the community. I allude to the testimony given by many of the station house pests at Police-courts, &c. In hundreds of in stances the depositions of police constables are made the groundwork for the establishment of a Magis terial decision ; and yet it has been positively proved that to clear their own character, they will combine in a concocted band to colour, misrepresent, and falsify the truth. The police have always been led to entertain too h:gh notions of their authority ; they have had far too much license afforded them; the Magistrates (generally) have not paid sufficient regard to complaints against the body; their secret manoeuvres have not been suffi ciently watched; these are the causes of those sad abuses which society has now to lament. A worthy Magistrate once said to a gentleman making a com plaint against the police, that he would not have the " force" interfered with in the execution of their duty, and that he would not hear any thing which might call in question their authority. Look now at the tendency of such language on the part of a Magis trate; the police, of course, began to look upon them selves as personages in whom high legal powers had been vested, and no sooner did opportunity offer, than they thought proper to carry it out. Policemen are the last individuals in the world to have authority. For the most part, they are men taken from the lower classes, and any elevation to power carries them be yond themselves ; and leads to all those insults and outrages which are now occupying so great a portion of the public press. Sir, I trust that the matter will be brought under strict investigation, and be made the subject of a radical and permanent reform. JOHN TEMPLE CHIPCHASE CLOSING BRITISH PRICES. FUNDS.

CHINESE POLICE.—So summary is th e mo d e i n which the object of the police is effected in Canton, that it is no light matter to be once in their hands. The Chinese emphatically express their sense of this unfor tunate condition by the popular phrase, " The meat is on the chopping block." Not u n f recillentl Y , i n m i nor cases, a man receives the punishment, and aga i n goes tree, th e same h our i n which he Com m i ts the crime. The forms of trial are simple. Th ere is no Jury, no pleading. Th e criminal kneel s b efore the Ma gistrate, wh o h ears the witnesses, and passes sen tence ; he is then remanded to prison, or sent to the place of execution. Seldom is he acquitted. When witnesses are wantin g , he is sometimes tortu re d unt il h e gives in evidence against himself. There are four gaols in Canton, which together cantain several hundred pri soners. The gaol is commonly called to-go, hell, or lite rally " earth's prison."

The Sents'nelle de Toulou gives the following ac e )unt of the military colony of Ain-Fouka, in the province of Algiers :—" The colony is well situated near the sea, and occupies a very favourable position with respect to fresh water, which is plentiful. Tim ber is also abundant. The lamb have been distributed and are now fit for tillage. Each family is to be provided with a stone house two stories high, composed of three rooms and a kitchen, and a garden of tolerable size, close to the habitation. The whole colony at present possess a herd of oxen, 400 goats, and a flock of sheep. The members are subject to a sort of discipline, a captain commanding them, and the Colonel of the camp of Fouka having the superintend ence of their whole proceedings. The colonists have each 3,000 fr., and the girls who have consented to take them for husbands receive each 500 fr. portion. The Municipal Council of Toulon has voted a sum of 4,000 fr. amongst the twenty young women which the town may provide. Every year a similar number of colonists will proceed to France to be married on the King's birth-day. This colony will become an im portant place in a commercial point of view, for vessels will make it the point of landing for mer chandise intended for Milianah and Coleah, it lying midway between the two places. The ten first mar riages of colonists took place at Toulon, nine being Roman Catholics and the other a Protestant. Others are to leave Africa for the same purpose, when the present married couples return to the colony." An amusing scene was witnessed yesterday before the Tribunal of Correctional Police. A strong healthy-looking fellow, named Charnblant, had been arrested as a vagabond, and having beer. brought be fore the Court last week, declared that he had a wife who, although separated from him, would, if applied to, engage to provide him with a home. The case was adjourned to allow for the appearance of the wife, who yesterday attended, and the following con versation took place :—President :—You come to claim your husband ?—Wife : ,Not I, indeed ; I should like to see him in prison for the rest of his life. I must tell you, Sir, that, many years ago, we were servants together in the family in which I am still cook, lie spent his wages and my own, and beat me into the bargain. One fine day he disappeared, and went to live with another woman, and I had hoped that I should never again behold his face.—Presi dent : But he has told us that when he quitted you, he made a division of the property ,which belonged to you in common as man and wife.— Wife : Did he ? He carried of all the furniture, and all my effeets, and left me with our three chil dren—if that is what he calls a division of property —The prisoner herc exclaimed—" Anastasia, you en joyed my esteem, but you have forfeited it from this day !" The tribunal sentenced him as a vagabond to three months' imprisonment and five years' surveillance of the police. A few evenings ago, says the National de l' Ouest, a bright light in the house of M. Albourg, a banker at Chateaubriand, attracted the attention of the neighbours. His apartment was entered, and it was discovered that his papers were burning on the hearth, and that he was himself lying on the bed, his face covered with a bolster, and perfectly motionless. On removing the bolster a horrible spectacle presented it self, for M. AlboUrg had been murdered with blows of a hammer on the head. It is supposed that he was struck down whilst sitting in his chair, and that the body was afterwards placed on the bed, and the mur der completed. No trace of the murderer has been as yet discovered. A violent storm, says the Memorial Agennais, burst over Lusignan-Petit on the 28th ult. The electric fluid fell on a windmill near St. Denis, and struck down the son of the owner and a man-servant. The former was after much care and violent frictions re stored to life, and hopes are entertained of his even tual recovery, but the servant was killed instanta taneously. The effects of the fluid were curious in the two cases ; the nails were drawn from the boots of the son of the miller, and the boots themselves were torn from his feet, and thrown to a distance of ten paces. His legs were as if struck with paralysis, and the colour was like that of a dead body. The servant's watch was completely perforated in the outer c ase, which was of silver, leaving behind a greyish powder between the two cases, whilst the inner case of copper remained uninjured, and the movement was not even stopped. The hair of this man's head was completely burned off; his feet were sunk into the ground, apparently in the direction which the electric fluid had taken. A species of gourd, known to botanists by the name of cucurbita leucantha lagenaria, has this year attained an extraordinary size at the Jardin de Plantes. This plant, which assumes the form of a bottle pressed cicsely in at the neck, and swelling out below, is 40 centimetres in diameter, and 60 in height. As it stilh continues to grow, it is not . improbable that it may reach half a metre in diameter, and two-thirds in height. A letter from Mostaganem, Aug. 24, in the Con stitutionnel, has the following :—" General Changar nier having learned from spies that Abcbel-Kader had appeared in the territorl of the Beni-Zug-Zug and the Djendel, proceeded in haste to meet him. IVe learn to -day that he fell in with the cavalry of the Emir in a place callechthe Three Valleys, to the south of Milianah, and the enemy, surprised by his sud den appearance, at once took to flight, leaving be hind, to the. mercy of our men, the worst mounted of their troops, and their camp-equipage. A squadron of the Ist Chasseurs pursued the enemy, but without effect. The kalifas of the tribes which the Emir had visited in the hope of exciting a rising in his favour, came afterwards to pay their respects to General Changarnier, and thank him for the aid he had af forded. The General assured them that, provided they remained faithful, they might always reckon on the same assistance. lle then made them presents in the name of the Governor-General, and dismissed them. The General remained in the neighbourhood six days, living on provisions paid for most scrupulously, and at last took his departure, escorted by an immense 'number of men and children. It is said that the bat talions of the Ist regiment of the line are to pass into the Algiers division, and that no troops are to replace them. - Some say that even Toulon is to be their place of destination. This would be a great error , as thereby the tribes would be left to the mercy o th e En*, The construction of the public roads is urged on with activity, and that between Mostaganem and Arzew is already ih a forward state. We shall soon receive convoys from Oran hi twelve hours," HEALTH OF PRISONS. (From the &pot on the Sanitary Condition of the Labouring Poptilation of Great Britain.) Since Howard succeeded in gaining national attetz lion to the condition of prisoners, the evils of prison management have been removed. A large proportion of the prison population, is taken from the worstregu lated and most confined ne i g hb our h oo d s , w hi c h h ave been the subject of examination; and, with the view to judge what might be effected by sanitary regulations, jt hiwe made frequent inquiries as to the effects of sanitary nlOlO/ . 6% on the worst class of persons, the larger proportion of whom are t a k en f ront t h e worst neighbourhoods, that is, as to the effects of living in the same atmosphere, on a less exp ens i ve di et t h an that of the general labouring population, but provided with clean and tolerably well-ventilated places of work and sleephig-reoms, and where they are requi re d ini-rooms, to be cleanly in their persona. The medical practitioners, who are well acquainted with the general state of health of the population surrounding the prisons concur in vouching to the fact, upon their own knowledge, that the health of the prisoners is in general much higher than the health almost of any part of the surrounding population ; that the prisoners, as a class, are below the average of health when they enter the prisons ; that they come from the worst neighbourhoods; that many of them come from the lodging 'houses, which, in those towns, as will be shown, are the constant seats of disease; that they are mostly persons of intemperate habits; that many of them come in in a state of disease from intemperance and bad habits ; and notwithstanding the depressing influence of imprisonment, the effect of cleanliness, dryness, better ventilation, temperance, and simple food, is almost sufficient to prevent disease arising within the prison, and to put the prisoners in a better working condition at the termination than at the commencement of their imprisonment. At the Glasgow Bridewell, the prisoners are weighed on their entrance and at their discharge, and it is found that, on the average, they gained in weight by their imprisonment.* At Edinburgh, there were instances of poor persons in a state of disease committed from motives of humanity to the prison, that they might be taken care of and cured. The tables are to be taken as showing imperfectly the comparative e reds of the different circumstances ; because, when a labourer is obliged to leave work he loses wages ; and it is known cf large classes of them, that they often work impro vidently and injuriously to their chances of recovery by continuing at work in impaired health too long ; the prisOner, on the contrary, by absence on the sick list, gains ease and exemption from slave labour ; and the officers have constantly to contend against feigned sickness to avoid task-work and punishment. It should also be noted that a large proportion of the sickness of the .prisoners is of a character that is ex cluded from the tables of all insurance, from the be nefit societies, as being specially excluded from their benefits, The returns from the prisons in England up to the year 1834-5 (which do, not, however, give the days of sickness, but only the number of prisoners attacked with sickness during the period for which the return was made) further corroborates these results. Even in I the Milbank Penitentiary, the situation of which is insa lubrious, the average annual amount of sickness to the prisoners who are confined two years and a half is only about eight days to each person, which, for the ave rage age, is little above the standard obtained from the experience of the East India Company's labourers. The sickness amongst the Metropolitan Police is about 10i days per annum for each of the force, 21- per cent. being constantly on the sick list. The sick ness in the army is on the average 141 days each sol dier. Mr. Finlaison informs me he can venture to state, that were any benefit society to use scales of premiums founded on the prison experience, they would inevitably be insolvent in less than three years. M. Villerme has shown the diminution of mortality that has taken place in the prisons of France, chiefly from stricter attention to cleanliness, ventilation and diet, to be equally striking. At Lyons, from 1800 to 1806, the annual mortality in the prisons was 1 in 19 ; from 1806 to 1812, it was 1 in 31 ; from 1812 to 1819, it was 1 in 34 ; and from 1820 to 1826, 1 in 43 : a similar amelioration has also been remarked in the prisons of Rouen, and some other large towns in that kingdom. * Thirty-three males who were imprisoned for six months giined 37 lbs. total weight ; five females gained 19 lbs. ; twenty-two males, confined during twelve months, gained 3 lbs. ; eight females, during the same period; gained 5 lbs ; seven males in eighteen months gained 24 lbs. ; and two females 10 lbs. At Edinburgh also they were weighed, and, on the whole, they gained. PORT OF LONDON. Captain Fisher, R.N., principal Harbour Master to the Port of London, yesterday reported to the Lord Mayor that he had removed the wreck of the Vesper collier barque, sunk off Gravesend, with the exception of a few planks, which are in no respect an obstruc tionto the navigation. _ _ The plan Captain Fisher adopted for the perform ance of this service has been by exploding charges of gunpowder in and under th e w reck, creep i ng , sling ing, and raising the dispersed timber separated by the explosion, 1,300 pounds of gunpowder having been used in accomplishing the removal. As the wreck lay close to the shore, he was prevented from using larger charges, and thus more delay took place than would otherwise have occurred. The cylinders were, in conformity with the direc tions of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, made at Chatham Dockyard, under the orders of Mr. Fulcheon, master builder of that establishment. The cylinders were fitted, charged, and fired by Captain isher and the people attached to the harbour ser vice, and from the practice they have had upon this oc casion, there will arise no difficulty in future in remov ing wrecks in theßiver Thames, the navigation of which it is now more than ever necessary to secure from impediments in consequence of the enormous increase of shipping. The charges of powder were fired with Mr. Smoe's galvanic battery, supplied by Mr. Palmer, of Newgate-street, by order of the Navigation Com mittee. Captain Fisher expressed himself much in debted to Mr. C. James, the Harbour Master at Gravesend, and Mr. William Downes, the diver, for their assistance. No accident occurred during the performance of the service. The London Harbour Master also reported that the wreck of the Apollo has been surveyed, and found clear of land and sand, and her decks are entire. A rope had been made fast to her main shaft as a guide for weighing her at any future time. The Apollo lies sunk in a great many fathoms' water. A bank has formed about 120 feet above the vessel, rising 22 feet above the bed of the river, which in all proability will increase if the wreck is allowed to remain where it is. Several anchors and chains are foul of her, but as the season is so far advanced, it is not likely that any active measure will be adopted until next spring. DIOCESAN BOARD OF EDU CATION. (From a pamphlet entitled " Strictures on Church Commercial Schools, addressed to Parents and Guardians of the rising Generation : being the First Lesson for the Practical Preceptors of the Diocesan Board of Education.") Much has been said, and more written, on the subject of education. Scheme after scheme has been suggested, and partially acted upon, and, doubtlessly, each was very well in its way: it might have its merits and its demerits, but until of late it never entered into the imagination of man, that the clergy, invading the privileges, and openly violating the rights of the laity, would form themselves into a Board of Diocesan Education, with but one aim and end in view—to take the monopoly of all school profits into their own hands, and effect the total ruin of a large and most respectable body of persons, by whom, from generation to generation, the minds, the morals, and the intellectual faculties of men, have been formed; who have upheld by their teaching, and their example, the Church and the constitution, and I may add, taught even the clergy themselves all they know. Injustice, nay, ingratitude, is apparent on the very surface of the scheme; and I would ask by what right, human or divine, the priesthood arrogate to themselves the power of monopolizing education . It is contrary to the true spirit of the British Con stitution ; and, what is worse, they come _feorw t hey under something very like false pretences, w set themselves up as Diocesan. Commerc ial School masters. In this they boldly profess to_ teachth at which their education and pursuit s render t he m in capable of teaching. We have heard of fox-hunt ing parsons, of 'quack-medicine parsons, f ns, a_ or somepicture-• dealing parson, for which he was si l enced years by a Bishop of London' but we never b e f ore heard of a commercial body of Bishops, Priests, and Deacons ! With the Lord Primate of England at the head of his clerical-commercial fraternity, the mass of the multitude, who content themselves with merely looking at the outline of the plan as put forth by this Board of Scholastic Control, may be deluded, for a time, into a belief of its utility ; but, if they were to l oo k a little behind the scenes, they would fi n d it i s but the dawning of a system of domination, which is intended, in the end, to enslave the rising 'genera tion and by the influence which a well. organised fraternity possesses, render them mere puppets that they can pull to and fre by a string. I look upon this institution in the light of a domestic inquisition, and many evils are to be ,anticipated from this clerical interference with the system of general edu cation. The system is founded on a wrong basis, and the Diocesan Board of Education already begin to feel their sandy foundation becoming a little unsafe, or why should they have an idea of making it a re gular Government job ? I would ask my Lord of 44 0 4 6 :1ni if the idea ofOrganitiugs compai 4141aie4g inspector of schools, to be paid out of the hard earn ing Of the people, a salary of five hundred pounds, each per annum, WAS not suggested to his speculative brain by the failure of another bright scheme that emanated from the same source, viz., the refusal of the majority of the Metropolitan Incumbents to subscribe two guineas each annually, to "."441 to the income of some of his pet inspectors ? Unfortunately for this brain-teaching monopoly fraternity, I happen to be a little in their secrets, and know their unfitness to carry out their schemes. Under all cir cumstances I would ask my Lord of London, who is himself the son of a schoolmaster, why he should be one of the first and strongest persecutors of the mem bers of his father's profession ? I will even go further, and inquire of his Grace of Canterbury, who was also the schoolmaster to the Abercorn family, by whom his first living was purchased and presented, and whose interest procured him his first and second mitre, whe ther his conscience does not smite him when he con siders that by patronizing this monopoly, he is vir tually depriving thousands of the most useful and re spectable members of a learned and honourable pro fession, of the means of obtaining an existence ? DAN TZ IC, AUG 25.—The news of the bankruptcy of the house of Borker, in London, has caused a great con sternation here. This bankruptcy has given occasion to the present state of things, since the 12,000 lasts of wheat which belonged to that house must be brought to market to satisfy the creditors that the decline of every shilling per last caused a loss of 35,000 dollars to that English house. The failure is for 400,000/. sterling.-- Dutch paeer. THE HAGUE, SEPT. 6.—His Majesty will leave . the Hague on Friday next, to meet the King of Prussia at Cologne. CHUNIE'S KEEPER.—Richard Cartmel (or Carter, as he was generally called), once the keeper of Chunie, the celebrated colossal elephant that. was some years since destroyed at Exeter 'Change, died a few days ago at his residence, near the Surrey Zoological Gardens. Carmel had been for many iears head -keeper to Mr. Cross, the proprietor of Exeter Change, and subsequently of the Surrey Gardens, and was well known to all lovers of zoology and ornithology, as well as to many of the nobility, for whom he was HI the habit of purchasing animals and birds. RESPONSIBILITY OF AUTHORS IN RUSSIA.—Wi ni t the Russians think of authors may be collected from ano. then plate, in which part of hell is represented. In the fore-a - round are suspended two kettles ; in one of them is a ro bber, in the other a bad writer. Under the kettle of the latter the devil is busily engaged in makink a roast ing fire, whereas under the bandit there is nothing but a. heap of dry wood, and be seems to be enjoying a comfort able warmth. The author, who has lifted up the lid of his kettle a little, casting an envious glance at the robber, complains to the devil that he torments him niore than so a vile a criminal ; but the devil fetches him a thump on the head, and says, " Thou wert worse than he, for his sins and misdeeds died with him, but thine continue to live for ages."— Kohl's Russia and the Russians. FALMOUTH, SEPT. 6.—lntelligence has reached here that the Captain and all the crew of the Marquis of Queensberry, a merchant vessel belonging to the firm of Pollock and Gilmore in Glasgow, r elied of the fatal sick ness prevailing at Havannah. The Spanish authorities at Havannah took temporary charge of the Marquis of Queensberry. The Dowager Marchioness of Conyngham has joined the congregation which assemble at Portland Chapel in Southampton, under the ministration of the Rev. Mr. Pulsford, a very able and exemplary Baptist preacher. The Postmaster-General has decided on returning to the old method of paying the guards on mail coaches 10s. 6d. per week, and allowing them to take fees from passengers. The guards on railways are still to be paid salaries without fees; but such salaries are to be on a reduced scale. The cause of the contemplated alteration in the mode of paying the mail-coach guards is, the con tinued discoveries that they receive fees. Six of them are n ow sun; for taking tees, but Lord Lowther has re solved not to dismiss them, because he declares it im possible to prevent persons who are paid only 70/. or 801. a year from taking gratuities from passengers, when, os in most cases, it has beppened the gratuities have been voluntarily offered. MELANCHOLY DEATH OP A CLERGYMAN 'AND HIS WIFE.—The Rev. S. R. Ctirver, hipumbent of Stanning ton, was throwneut of his carriage on Monday, near that lace, and killed on the spot. Mrs. Carver, a lady of fortune, to whom the deceased was only united in De cember last, was also thrown out, and so severely hurt that she expired on Friday afternoon. The unfortunate couple had just set out for a drive in their one-horse chaise from Stannington to Sheffield, when the horse started off at full gallop towards Mal-bridge, a very dangerous construction, narrow and crooked, almost in the form of the letter S., and with large projecting cop ings. One of these stones caught the wheel, throwing the carriage over upon the deceased. The bridge has previously been the scene of two fatal accidents, and will probably now be taken down and rebuilt.—LiverpOollimes. The fraud discovered to have been committed a day or two ago by a clerk in the Money-order depart ment in the General Post-office, by forging money orders and advices as if drawn on Camberwell Post office, at Sittingbourne, has suggested a very simple plan which would effectually. prevent all frauds of the same kind. The plan is for the Postmaster-General to issue orders to his deputies to pay no order, nor enter any advice, unless each bear the stamp of the office. at which the order is drawn. At present any clerk could forge orders and advices on a neighbouring office for 100/. or 2001., and get them cashed without exciting the least suspicion. ACCIDENTAL DEATH.—Yesterday morning, be tween the hours of four and five o'clock, two young men were discovered by the watchman of the Ballyhooly road attempting to rob the garden of Mr. Junes The watchman endeavoured to secure the offenders, who immediately fled in the direction of Clifton-terrace, which overhangs a rock of some 50 or 60 feet in ha;glit, being aware of the One of the young men, probably not unprotected nature of the precipice, missed his footing, and was dashed with such violence to the bottom that, when discovered in a short time afterwards, he was en tirely dead. This is the second death, and the third ac cident, which has made this rock notorious.—Corh E.r.• andner. THE GLOVE TRADE.—As an instance of the state of depression of this branch of manufacture, which for merly supplied so-large a portion of employment to the male and female population of our city, and to the wives and daughters of agricultural labourers in the county, we may state that a manufacturer recently sold ,470 dozens of gloves at 6d. a dozen, the mere cutting of which did not cost less than Bd. a dozen.—Worcater Chronicle. PRICE or BREAD.—A correspondent at Exeter writes to us, under the date of Sept. 2, as follows " Noticing in the Bath Chronicle of yesterday your re marks on the subject of the price of bread, I trouble you with a letter to inform you; that in this city the Ch. loaf (full weight) is from sd. to 63d ; and none higher than that. There cannot be better bread." We suppose that what may be done in Exeter mayialso be done in Bath. —Both Chronicle. THE ROUTE BT BRIGHTON AND HAVRE.—We ob serve by the published report of the half-yearly meet ing of the South Western Railway Company that great alarm is felt at Southampton on account of the steam-packet communication recently opened between Brighton. and Havre. A letter was read by the Chairman from Mr. Lock, the engineer, then at Paris, in which he says—" Great efforts are making at home and here, - to` divert the English traffic from the . .South Western Railway, and I feel quite sure that 'unless great exertions are made to en sure a better class of steamers between Southampton and Havre, that we shall lose a great deal of the traffic now passing on our line. The Brighton and Havre boat recently , took over sixty passengers, who would otherwise have taken the route by Southampton. No thine., I believe, can stop this interference but im p rovin g the c lass of s' earners between the two ports, and offering better accommodation. I never felt so strongly as Ido running L now that unless you make a corresponding ext that ertion to secure this tra ffi c, you will lose it." _ there is some foundation for this al arm, eve l earn that on e l of the -Southampton steamers, re cently Havre, has been taken off s i n ce the Lord Melville was put upon the Brighton and Havre statioL,. The map to which we alluded last week, showing the graft supe • riority of this route over all others in point of tiliwnee, was, we understand, issued by Mr. Dean, one of .he most valuable officers of the London and Brightoti Railway Company, by whom it was, in fact, prepared for publication, and not by the General Steam Navi gation Company- It will be seen, on r e f erence to t hi s map, that white the routes by Southampton a n d D o ver, as well as that by the river Thames, are all exceedingly circuitous, the entire distance from London through Brighton to Havre, and ag a i n f rom Brighton through , Di e ppe to Paris, is a perfectly straight line. These are advantages which must ultimately give to the route b , B r ighton a preference over all its rivals.—Brighten. Oazette. The funeral of Dr. Ireland, Dean of Westminster, took place yesterday within the Abbey immediately after the morning service. A number of the dignified clergy were present. The Chancellor of the Exchequer arrived in town yesterday from Ryde, Isle of Wight.. Whilst the Anti-Corn-law League vigorously and successively pursues free-trade, it deserves the support of every Liberal. For the first time in this country, it presents an organised and able resistance to the land lord -combination in Parliament. It seeks only to place the corn-grower and the manufacturer on the same fair ground of competition for the general good. Agri culture is just as much a trade as any other ; governed by the same laws, followed for the same objects. Gain is the stimulus to both, and free trade is more gainful than any monopoly which landowners can frame for themselves.---Examiner. BUTCHER'S MEAT AND VEN mow ~--Beef and mutton are always in season ; but the best, meats during Ibis month of the year are veal and lamb. It s9inetiirms happens that a larger quantity of meat is purchased than can be consumed ere it becomes tainted, which takes place very rapidly at this season of the year. Its preservation from taint, during many days, mar be secured without imparting to the meat any perceptike flavour, by the fol lowing means :—To two parts of the common pyroligneous acid, which is the vinegar distilled from wood in its first or impure state, add one part of water. With a com mon paint brush, quite new, give the meat a coating of this mixture, taking care to cover evert , part of the exposed surface, even' where there is a bole. It may then be hung up in the cool larder, where it will remain period free fro m fly tain t ililv f l or a week .cr ten days, during whi ch in this w main sweet during a fortuiglit.—Magazins of Donle4:-"c ay. in thlishlatetehstit.parlt‘,7.eofs4.l%4t m eat sum p m re e ac r, r' r7e, fiGagnty. •
