SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FPDX THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—The long-delayed " Royal fiat" has at length reached Dublin. " The Lords Justices have received the Queen's letters empowering the Lord Chancellor or Keeper of the Great Seal to issue letters patent, appointing Joseph Devonsher Jackson, Esq., a Justice of the Common Pleas, in the room of Mr. Justice Foster, deceased ; and Thomas Berry Cusac Smith, Esq., Q.C., to be Solicitor-General, in the room of Mr. Jackson, promoted to the judicial bench.' This has brought matters to a crisis. The perplexity into which the London oracles of the Government are plunged by the untoward state of things in Ireland, is most amusing. The Post implores the Irish Go vernment, and those in this country who have the power of directing its policy, to pause, and retrace their steps before it be too late : " It wAI not conduce to the advantage of the Con servatiie cause is Ireland, or to any other practical good; to create a division in the University of Dublin on the present occasion, by presenting to the choice of the electors any other Ministerial candidate in op positipn to Mr. Hamilton The Govern m-''nt will act wisely in putting an end to the controversy which arises from its pursuit of an object, important we admit, but clearly unattainable, and which, so long as it lasts, is calculated only to engender heats and tlis , ensions among its friends, and to lend a colour to the misrepresentations of its foes." The Standard, on the other hand, supports the Irish Government in its course, and Mr. Smith, its oandlclate. Objurgations are heaped and reproaches hurled upon the heals and hearts of the soi-disant Pro testauts of the faithful University. We really cannot comprehend the Standard. So adroitly does it shift its ground—with such facility adapt its views to its changed position, that with every possible desire to egard its policy as consistent, we find it utterly impossible to reconcile its present with its for mer advocacy. What agreement can exist, we ask, between the low Protestantism now urged by its reasoning upon the Dublin University, with the high Protestantism of the most exclusive caste, which it formerly held up as essential to the safety of the Church, and the maintenance of the Protestant religion in Ireland? Mr. Hamilton ex pressly states, and his supporters reiterate, that the Maynooth grant, and the .National Education ques tion, on both which his views are opposed to the Government, form the grounds of the opposition he is doomed- to encounter from the Ministerial candi date ; and yet the Protestant Standard urges the withdrawal of the opponent of the Maynooth grant, and of the Government scheme of National Educa tion in Ireland, in order that a candidate who is hound hand and foot to promote both may walk over the course ! STANDARD.—As rewards the apology for the capture and detention of the Caroline, it is just such an explanation as every just and rational man, how high-spirited soever, gives when he has inflicted a merited chastisement. It tells why the British au thorities seized and destroyed the pirate steamer, and it tells nothing more. The British Minister was not surely to say, "We destroyed the vessel in wicked wantonness, or for the purpose of in sulting the United States Government." He was to tell the truth. The pirate was destroyed be cause she was a pirate engaged in a piratical war against the British possessions, and she was destroyed on the United States territory, because there she was found, and because the United States authorities had proved unable or unwilling to put a stop to her continued acts of piracy—a circumstance which, as well as its proper consequence, the British Government regrets. Mr. Webster calls this an apology, but an apology in the humiliating sense of the term it assuredly is not. If, however, at the other side of the Atlantic the term apology is soothing to the self-love of the Republicans, there is no reason why we should grudge them whatever consolation it affords. We know that Great Britain never will refuse such apologies —we trust never will be wanting in firmness to furnish occasion for them, when so pro voked. There is a character in one of (we think) O'Keefe's plays, as happy in interpreting apologies as Mr. Webster himself—a Cockney, who, offering some affront to a gentleman, is knocked down by the offended party ; an officious friend of the O'Trigger school successfully urges a challenge, a challenge is delivered, parties meet, but the challenger's courage being exhausted, an explana tion is proposed ; the challenged, however, will give no more than this—" I am sorry that your conduct rendered it necessary to knock you down ;" the challenger is contented, and walks away exulting in the apology that he has received. Lot us not, however, be misunderstood ; we do not quote the little fable as reflecting upon the courage of the American people. They are too true to the cha racter of their fathers to be open to imputation in this respect. If they have been compelled to submit in the matter of the Caroline, it is not from want of gallantry, or from want of power, but from want of a cause which just and honourable men could vindicate ; we have borrowed from the dramatist merely to illustrate the folly of considering Lord Ashburton s explanation as an apolagy in any humiliating sense. Finally, if the questinns of the right of search, of the right of im pressment, and the affair of the Creole, still remain unsettled, these perplexing topics are of themselves in no worse position than before, and their con dition is otherwise greatly improved by what has been adjusted. It is the accumulation of causes of quarrel which generates serious enmity— by removing two or three from the heap you do Rot merely diminish the aggregate—you detract in finitely from the importance of those that remain. We believe that Lord Ashburton's Treaty has laid the solid foundation of a lasting peace between this em pire and the United States. If nothing else were gained towards such a foundation, much is gained in the proof afforded that differences may be accommo • dated without war, and even without menace of war, by just and equal negotiation. AFFGHANISTAN. • (From the Dublin Evening Mail.) We have been favoured with the following extremely affecting and graphic letter, written by a ung officer of Engineers in the East India Company's ser vice, communicating some particulars of deep interest, and some details of great novelty. It was addressed •to his family in this country, and is dated— CUndahar, June 11, 1842. You had accounts of the Caubul news before any thing was known of it by most of the people at Canda f_ har, or an account of the roads being closed by both the. enemy and the snow ; so it was with the greatest dif ticulty we at Khelat-i-Ghilzie could keep up our communication with this place. The political officer was obliged to write on a slip of paper about an inch square, and either conceal it in wax, or more gene rally in a hole made in a walking-stick, and some times in a small hair -comb ; but even with these pre catitions, our Dawks were frequently cut off, so you may well imagine the difficulties we had in procuring any information from Caubul or Ghuznee. We had rumours of the fall of the latter place, but it was not till lately that we received any authenticated account. I must tell .you that every person was unprepared for the insurrection ; and it entirely originated at Caubul : the chiefs in our part of the country knew nothing of it ; so, till the commencement of the out• break, the works at Khelat had never been stopped, and as long as the weather permitted we had Some 800 or 900 people at work. The plan proposed at first was as follows :—A wall twenty feet high to be built all round the crest of the hill, and in rear of it about thirty feet, the buildings to be erected forming a second line of defence. When we commenced the work —or rather, in July last, when our part of the coml.. try was all quiet —no person ever dreamt of the dis trict being disturbed during the winter; so the build ing' °ect `P i ed ray chief attention ; still , so lon g as I had work /390 0, ' ayaila ble I continued building at the outer wall ; aid, fortunate it was, as when the work was stopped, We were in a more defensible state than what could be expected when you take into conside ration the sho r t t i me I had been at work. In a small have marked .sketch which I send, I h a out the line of buildings—these formed the side near the stables our defence on two sidense. feet high. The extreme point a wall eight or made _ e int(la regular full wall ; and the other and 'lad e officers' quarters round to rear —the side, from th ate partly palli -.Saded and scarped. A good deal of - tbli , ork, though, our u•arrisornetliril wa.s done after Colonel INPLaren's b rigade returned to Caudahar. Fortunately for us, teintOrced by 250 Sepoys and 42 European artillery Aiien, making a total of 1,000 fighting men. e Th; •Zuropeans were a great catch ; th ey were left in :,,lace. of some Sikh artillerymen, who w ou ld , no . ilkubt, have deserted; fifteen went over in a body from this, We had four 6-pounders and two 18-pound ers, • will * an abundant- supply of ammunition, an d a fine :sprinion the hill which could not be cut off. With this -garrison, you will . not be surprised when I say w e were determined to make no surrender, no matter how affairs turned out. During the commencement of the viivr our defences were not very strong, but with out parapets" to the buildings, and the works uncon nected ; .still we formed a bold face on it ; and when the enemy came round us in December, we defied them, as they could do nothing, and the cold weather having set in, they broke up their camp about the 18th of December, and left us to ourselves for the winter. This we have reason to be thankful for, as, had they attacked us during the cold nights, it might have gone hard with us. January was our colest month: we had the thermometer at sunrise 8 deg. below Zero. but the high wind that blows continually at Khelat tried the Sepoys cruelly ; still we were very healthy dining the whole time, but it was not till the sth March we could recommence strengthening the place —this was absolutely necessary then, is the enemy collecting, and we made sure that . la rge force . • would march dawn, now that Caubtl and Glinznee Pad fallen ; so to w(irk we went, acid by the tim e th e enemy collected we were all prepared, parapets batte ries constructed, and a ditch and scarp dug round the ' point. In April the enemy pitched their tents, and formed their camp within two miles of the fort, and on the 11th of May our foraging party was : ttacked under the fort, and we took eleven followers. From that till the 2lst we were closely invested ; the enemy constructed small matchlock batteries within from two to four hundred yards of the fort, and kept up a con stant fire, which did us no harm. The weather now was all in our favour ; every man was, therefore, ready at a moment's notice. We got information that the enemy were preparing for the assault ; and when the rush was made, the enemy received a warm recep tion. No men could have behaved braver. The assault was made at three different points—first, in rear and between the barracks ; second, in rear of the stores ; and third, at the extreme point ; and it was at the latter that the most determined onset was made ; but they found their match. Three times their standard was planted at the muzzle of the gun and blown away, and one man was dragged in, and killed on the gun. This was my station, and you may imagine it was rather hot work. The rifle you sent out did some execution. The attack was made at a little after three o'clock, a.m., just as the moon went down, and continued till day-break, when the fellows ran on all sides, leaving 104 dead. Our loss consisted of only one follower killed, and six wounded. Not an officer touched, with the exception of a few bruises from stones. The enemy broke up instanter, and by the afternoon not a man was to be seen, while the day before we had some 6,000 round us. Altogether the affair happened most fortunately for us, and was a good end to all our trouble and watching during the winter. It was very satisfactory having disposed of the enemy before the brigade arrived, which was then on the way out to relieve us, and which arrived on the 25th. General Nott had received positive orders to relieve us, and destroy all the works at Khelat. As soon as the brigade arrived we joined their camp, and com menced the destruction of the fort ; this did not take long, and what cost so many months' trouble and above a lac of rupees, was in five days a heap of ruins. We returned with the brigade, greatly to the disappointment of all, as we were in hopes that a for ward move would have taken place. But, no ; our poor prisoners are still at Ghuznee, and whether any attempt will be made to relieve them, has still to be proved. It is the general opinion that we retire from the country in a couple of months. The Caubul busi ness has swept away many a fine fellow. It is a cala- Mity dreadful to think of, and if the Government of Xndia retire without striking a blow, it certainly will Ile a disgrace to their names. In every encounter here We have been most successful, n3r will the enemy stand for a moment ; and, were we well supplied with cavalry, not a man would show his face : but we are very badly off in this arm of the service, and the enemy know it. We have no European dragoons, and the native Cavalry are rather looked down upon by the Affghans; but they will find their mistake, and if their infantry snake a stand the slaughter will be dreadful. General Nott has now a fine force under him—between 11,000 and 12,000 men, with artillery in pro portion. General Pollock is at Jellalabad with 14,000 men, waiting for orders to move into Cabool. At the capital the chiefs are fighting among themselves, so I dare say there would not be the least opposition. I forgot to tell you that about forty ladders were taken by us—fourteen were round the point. We also took six standards. We have yet to learn what Govern ment think of the affair. We were getting short of flour, but had plenty of wheat in store ; so it was rather fortunate that I succeeded in making up a hand-mill, after a plan I got out of Nicholson's Me chanics,' and we should have been able to carry on, had General Nott been prevented from relieving us." THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 17, 1842. That, as our Irish brethren are prohibited, by I exclusive and oppressive laws, from sending represen tatives to such a Conference, we especially invite, and will receive as visitors, all who approve of the object of our meeting, and who share the confidence of the people of that country. Should the police or the authorities of any town, in their desire to stifle public opinion, wilfully interrupt or unjustly interfere with the right of public meetings, called for legal objects, we advise that the people in those places cause proper evidence to be taken of such interruption, so that the question may be tried in our higher courts of law; so that Englishmen may learn whether those rights of which they are proud to boast, the rights of publicly assembling and reasonably de claring their opinions, are sacred and inviolable, or whether they depend on the fiat of some local 'Magis trate—on a portion of those who hate liberty—or a servant of Government armed with staff and sabre. Believing that the above objects are perfectly just and legal, being in conformity with our ancient con stitutional usages, being the only rational and proper means for ascertaining the public opinion of the coun try upon any great question affecting the general welfare, we especially invite your co-operation and support. \%re remain, your friends and fellow-citizens, the Members of the Complete Suffrage Council.

A trial for murder, attended with a remarkable in cident, took place on the 3d inst., before the Court of Assize of the Indre-et-Loire. A man, named Cathelin, was charged with having poisoned a widow, named Porcher, by mixing arsenic in ,her soup. The evi dence against the prisoner was circumstantial, but very strong. The existence of a considerable quan tity of arsenic in the body of the deceased left no doubt of the poison having been administered. Cathelin, who had an interest in her death. as he had to pay to her a life annuity for some property, was alone in the house whilst the soup was preparing, he was present with his wife and mother-in-law whilst 'the widow was dying, and his mother-in-law swore that he had thrown away the remainder of the soup, in which were, she said, grains of a substance like broken sugar. He had applied to the Mayor of his village for a certificate authorising him to purchase arsenic to poison rats, which, however, the Mayor had refused, and it was sworn by a witness that Cathelin, in a conversation with him, had stated that he was not troubled with rats. The only circumstance in his favour, with the exception of the following incident, was that the possession of arsenic could not be very clearly traced to him. The evidence of the Cure de Manthelan, who came forward on the behalf of the prisoner, produced a deep impression. This eccle siastic stated that, a short time before the death of the widow, who had a bad reputation, she had called on him, and, after saying that she was very unhappy on account of the number of her enemies, and a charge of theft that had been made against her, added that she was resolved to destroy herself. The Cure remonstrated with her, hut without effect. When he heard of her death, and that Cathelin was accused, he went to the examining Magistrate of Loches, who was charged to receive the depositions in this affair, and stated the above fact, but the Ma gistrate refused to take down his deposition. Against the probability that the deceased had poisoned herself, was the declaration of several witnesses on the trial, that, after having taken the soup, she said some body had been guilty of a grande sottise, meaning that some hurtful ingredient had certainly been put into her soup, and recommending that what remained of it should be carefully preserved. The statement of the Cure, however, was considered so important by the Jury, that, after a deliberation of only a quarter of an hour, they returned a verdict of acquittal. In the interval between the two days that the trial lasted, the President of the Tribunal sent an express to the examining magistrate, to inquire why he had refused to receive the deposition of the Cure. The answer communicated to the Court was, that the examining magistrate did not consider that it bore upon the case. THE OPERATIVE PROTESTANT ASSOCIATION. Last night Mrs. Martin held a meeting at the Assembly Rooms, Theobald's-road, for the purpose of discussing the merits of the Protestant Operative Association. She commenced her lecture by in forming her audience that if she would condemn any religious association in London, it would be the Protestant Operative Association, on account of its intolerance ; and as Hugh Stowell was the main abettor of that association, him :she would attack. In describing the appearance of the meeting at Exeter hall, she said she need not inform her hearers that a great portion of the audience consisted of those most interested in the success of the association—the clergy. Females formed the majority of the audience. There were also certain persons there, employed ostensibly to preserve order, but in reality to elicit applause. Claqueurs were to he found in other places besides theatres. She then proceeded at length to combat the ' opinions and assertions expressed by Mr. Stowell, but her address was not of an argumentative character: [t was indeed little more than a flat denial, accompanied with some smart pleasantry, of the most objectionable parts of Mr. Stowell's address. She contented herself with asserting that if Catho licism were bad, a s Hugh Stowell rcpresented it to he, Protestantism was as bad—if the Catholics were anxious about their money matters, the Protestants were not neglectful of the loaves and fishes. If the Catholics said, " No money, no Mass," so did Pro testants say "No money no christening, no money no matrimony," and, as in the cane at St. Clement's Danes, "no money no interment." On concluding she -,xpressed the happiness she should experience in hearing the opinions of any person present, whose views differed from her own, or who was desirous of , xculpating MO Stowell and his colleagues from the charge of intolerance. None rose to reply, and after a short pause she declared the meeting at an end. We have . received the Muniteur Algerien of the sth inst. The following is an extract :—" On the 30th ult. the whole of the tribe of Isser made its submission. All the chiefs are come to Algiers, with the Hurses of Gada, to receive investiture.

THE COUNCIL OF TILE NATIONAL COMPLETE SUFFRAGE UNION TO POLITICAL REFORMERS OF ALL SHADES OF OPINIONS. We address you, fellow-countrymen, deeply im pressed with the moral obligations of men and citi zens, whose duties have been imposed on us by an authority greater than princes or rulers, commanding us to " do unto all men as we would wish others to do unto us," consequently requiring us to lend that aid which ourselves would desire, to extricate from their condition the millions of our brethren who, by the op pression or neglect of rulers, are plunged in the lowest depths of misery, groping in ignorance, and daily sinking in crime. Though we believe that that great Christian obliga - tion calls upon all men to assist in freeing their brethren from the power of the oppressor, yet, at this crisis, we address ourselves especially to you, the Reformers of the United Kingdom ; because it is for you—the active and intelligent spirits of progres sion—you who desire to see justice established, where injustice is enthroned; it is for you, in your energy, union, and self-sacrificing resolution, to determine whether our country shall rise in freedom, knowledge, and happiness, or sink as a land of beggared serf's, beneath the paralysing power of a corrupt and selfish oligarchy. In thus addressing you, we desire not to arouse your passions, we would only awaken the nobler feel ings of justice, humanity, and Christian duty, con sidering our cause too sacred to be promoted by vio lence, or benefited by wrong. To you we need not depict the wide-spread misery of our country ; most of you are familiar with it in all its sickening forms ; and vast numbers of you are already its victims. But we ask Toil, with all the sober earnestness of men and Christians, whether you will unite with us in one general bond of brother hood ; and, by persevering, peaceful, energetic means, resolve, at any personal sacrifice, to stay the progress of our national debasement—to check the ravages of starving poverty—to remove the drag-chains of mo nopoly, the over-burdening pressure of taxation, the progress of crime, the race-destroying curse of war, and, under the blessing of heaven, free our country from the accumulating evils of corrupt and selfish legislation ? Fellow-countrymen, we are not desirous of interfer ing with your present local arrangements, but we call upon you to meet us in the spirit of truth and justice, to determine with singleness of purpose what is best to be done to effect the political and social deliverance of our country, and, having once determined, to concen trate all our energies to the accomplishment of such a glorious consummation. This we think can be done, without the amalgamation of societies between whom differences of opinion and modes of action exist; this can be done legally, constitutionally, and effectively ; all that is necessary for its accomplish. ment is union, energy, and self-sacrifice, on all points of agreement, and forbearance, toleration, and Christian charity, where differences of opinion exist. But in the election of representatives to meet in such a Conference, all party spirit must be excluded, all efforts for forcing individual views through the power of numbers must be avoided ; a victory ob tained by such intolerant, overbearing policy, would be defeat to our object—that of having a fairly con stituted National Conference, a body in whom all shades of Reformers among the middle and working classes may place confidence, and under whose peace ful and legal guidance we may unitedly contend, till we have secured the blessing and fruits of freedom. We are also desirous that the ensuing Conference shall be the means of effecting a better understanding and closer union between the middle and working classes than has hitherto existed ; feeling convinced, that so long as the enemies of the people can keep them divided, so long will they both be victimised by a corrupt and liberty-hating aristocracy. We call, therefore, upon the middle classes to send their re presentatives to confer with those of the working classes, to see how far they can remove the cause of animosity, apprehension, and disunion ; how far ar rangements may be made to secure our mutual ob jects speedily and peaceably, and thus free ourselves from the grasping influence of faction, guard against the storm of anarchy, be secure against military des potism, and, unitedly raising up the intelligence and virtues of the democracy on the basis of free institu tions, hasten the consummation of that happy period, when " our swords shall be beaten into plough-shares, and our spears into pruning -hooks," and when every man shall sit down in peace and security to enjoy the fruits of honest industry. Having been appointed to make arrangements for the calling of a Conference to consider the details es sential for the carrying out of the principles on which the National Complete Suffrage Union is founded ; and as its paramount object is to effect a union be tween the middle and working classes, to obtain a full, fair representation of the whole people, and to submit such propositions for the consideration of the confer ence as may be best promotive of the end in view ; we therefore submit the following propositions for the consideration of the Conference, which we submit to you, the Reformers of the United Kingdom :- 1. To determine on the essential details of an An nual Parliament necessary for securing the just repre sentation of the whole adult male population of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland ; such Act to embrace the principles and details of complete suffrage, equal electoral districts, vote by ballot, no property qualification, payment of members, and an nual Parliaments, as adopted by the first complete suffrage conference. 2. To determine what Members of Parliament shall be appointed to introduce the said Act into the House of Commons • and in what manner other Members of the House shall be called upon to support it. 3. To endeavour to ascertain how far the friends of unrestricted and absolute freedom of trade will unite with us to obtain such an Act of Parliament, provided we resolve to use our newly-acquired franchise in favour of such freedom of trade, and to vote only for such as will pledge themselves in its favour. 4. To devise the best means for maintaining compe tent Parliamentary candidates pledged to our princi ples ; the most effectual means by which assistance may be rendered to them in all electoral contests ; and also the best means for registering the electors and non-electors throughout the kingdom, who may be disposed to promote our objects. 5. To consider the propriety of calling upon the municipal electors to adopt immediate measures for securing the election of such men only to represent them in their local governments as are known to be favourable to the principles of complete suffrage. 6. To call upon our fellow-countrymen seriously to consider the great extent to which, in various ways, they willingly co-operate with their oppressors; and ascertain how far they may be disposed to prove their devotion to the cause of liberty, by refusing to be used for the purposes of war, cruelty, and injus tice, and particularly by the disuse of intoxicating articles. 7. To express their opinion as to the propriety of the people giving their countenance and support to all those who may sutler from espousing their cause. 8. To determine the best legal and constitutional means for energetically and peaceably promoting the above objects ; for checking all kinds of violence .and commotion, by which the enemy triumphs ; for the dissemination of sound political knowledge, and for spreading the principles of sobriety, peace, and tole ration, throughout the country, and, by every just and virtuous means, preparing the people for the proper exercise of their political and social rights. • 9. To devise means for raising a national fund for the purpose of promoting the above objects, as well as to protect all persons who, in their peaceful prose cution of them, shall become victims of unjust laws or despotic ordinances. In order to convince the middle classes that the working population have no - ulterior object inimical to the general welfare of society, we advise that they meet in the forthcoming Conference on terms of per fect equality to discuss these important propositions, feeling convinced that our principles need no other aid than their own intrinsic excellence ; having truth for their basis, and the happiness of the, human family for their end, and affording the best guarantee for the security of private 'property, which we regard as sa cred and inviolable, equally in the poor man's labour and the rich man's possession. We, therefore, advise that public meetings he called by advertisement or placard, of not less than four days, in every town throughout the kingdom, inviting the inhabitants to elect representatives to hold a National Conference at Birmingham, on Tuesday, the 27th of December, 1842, for the purpose of deciding on an Act of Par liament for securing the just representation of the whole "people; and for determining on such peaceful, legal, and consitutional means as may cause it to be come the law of these realms. That two representatives be sent from the smaller towns and boroughs having less than 5,000 inhabi tants, and four from the larger ones, excepting that London, Edinburgh, Birmingham, Manchester, Glas gow, and Liverpool, may send six representatives, but no more. - That one-half of the representatives shall be ap pointed by the electors, and half by the non-electors. The meetings for such purpose to be held separate, un less that both classes can agree in having all the re presentatives chosen at the meeting, which we ear nestly recommend ; but where they do not so agree, the two classes are not to interfere with each other's meetings, otherwise the election shall be declared void. causenoenadtiinogn men prevent e of f t th That, should the aut horities interfere or tr espass on this constitutionalasse right of public meeting, so as to any e p lists to be made out, reco mmendin g their res p ective s r shall held, the nomination lists notified, and left l ignatures of the in two meeting ci from cand idates, situations such tti ati o n listss to t r o e e b receive v p e ubl the s ; habit a nt s , those having the greate st number of sigma • -tUriis-to-}ie declared duly •eleeted, - That the places sending representatives make 1 arrangements for defraying their expenses.

Close to him, at the same time, he perceived a stranger searching his pockets with an air of great uneasiness. " What are you looking for ?" demanded the officer. "My watch that I have lost," replied the stranger ; it was a remarkably fine one, and cost me 500 f. in th e Palais Royal." " Here it is , " said the other ; " take better care of it for the future; for see, seine dexterous fellow has been rather too solicitous about you, a s thi s ring - bears evident -marks of having been e'ut neatly through." MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of September 16.) SUGAR.—Although the arrivals of West India Sugar have been numerous, amounting to 10,900 hhds, &c.. since this day week, still merchants have shown firmness, and the late demand has been very good for all descrip tions, both for the scale and refining ; the prices paid have been fully equal to those of Friday last. To-day there was less activity in the British Planta tion Sugar market, and from both grocers and refiners there was only a limited demand, but the merchants re mained firm, and refused to submit to lower rates. The purchases for the week are 1,850 hhds and trcs. The large arrivals appear to have had some influence amongst the trade, but as they arc indifferently supplied, a reaction in the market may be shortly looked for. REFINED.—The market has presented a firm appear ance for refined Sugar this week ; the demand has been good for all qualities fir home consumption ; and full rates have been given. Brown melting lumps at 73s to •74s 6d, brown patent 75s to 775, Standard lumps 78s. Tittlers ordinary 77s to 77s 6d, mid 78s to 795, good 79s 6d to 81s, fine 82s to 86s, Hambro loaves, common 78s to 795, mid 79s Gd to 81s,good 82s to 83s, fine and very fine 84s to 89s per cwt.

Of Treacle large parcels were taken at 23s 9d to 30s according to quality. Other articles are unchanged.

FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS. o f The Constitutionnel gives the following accountA the Mr. Scott, whose visit to Algiers was annou in the last letters from that place :—" The prete nd Colonel Scott is the same person that published 1"; May, in London, a volume entitled ' Journal of a P I „ sidence in the Camp of Abd-el-Kader, and Travels:, Morocco and Algiers.' In his book the Colonel T. declared himself to be the intimate friend and een..,; dent of Abd-el-Kader, and there is no sort of n suiting expressions or epithets which he does ,' apply to France. The whole of Europe, he says ell is to protest against the conquest of Algiers, effect of contempt of all laws, divine and human. He fi t: his hero the ' African Napoleon,' and the m ost fr it i tering epithets are lavished upon him. By ab s to e accusations against France he endeavours to ro m., the sympathies of England in favour of Abd-el -K si and in his enthusiasm for the virtues of his frienu to , implores all the powers of the world to leagile„to gether immediately to drive away the French ,Piet Africa, and proclaim Abd-el-Kader 3upreine. chi. Mr. Scott served in Spain on the side of Don Cars and through hatred for France, after the Preten d o discomfiture, he fell in love with the African h e ed . crossed the sea, and went to bow humbly 1)6 0 '4 the Emir. Mr. Scott is not a very. dang e a nd enemy for our soldiers, but his intriguing is dangerous spirit may easily find dupes of Morocco, or amongst the Arabs who are unfavoulito to the Emir, and trouble the peace and good fee, that the Government is trying to estabi,:sh there. or appears that Mr. Scott's intrigues are known to the . . 4 , vernor-General, who, in forbidding the COionel to 0; o used his power with moderation, for he muit be Oi. that a considerable number of Englishmen, ael 9 04 embarking in Morocco, and others at Trieo P ,. o o Tunis, keep up with the hostile tribes communiamtv both in the East and West injurious to our tl blishments." A retired jeweller, named Prevot, says the ia quitted Paris Paris a few days ago, for a journey in 40 (1 ' mandy, leaving his apartments in the care ota 0,,,,,,0 Francoise, who had lived with him as his housetoo for, ten years. On his return, the portress of the n, with a look of astonishment said to him—W/0 4 101 you come back; have you forgotten anything?'. o 0 said M. Prevot ; but I am very tired, and Wi tt 5 '4 0 bed.—Bed ! you have no bed here. Three daga $ Mme.
