SUMMARY OF NEWS public Opintott. Who runs may read.' FOREIGN. The French official Moniteur denies 'that the Go vernment ever entertained the project of creating a bench of Bishops in the Chamber of Peers. " The Courcier Francais, who first mentioned the report, ought to know, sari the official journal, " that the members of the h rench episcopacy, however 'com mendable they may be for their instruction, and ve nerable for their virtues, are not comprised in the categories established by the 0 3d article of the Char ter 1830.'1 ?he Sieele denies that there is the slightest proba bility of the adhesion of the United States to the Treaty of the Right of Search. They may, perhaps, say s the. Siecle, acknowledge the right under certain restrictions, and in certain zones only; but how, it asks, would such recognition justify the French Go vernment. in ratifying the treaty in opposition to the declared opinion of the Chamber? The French Minister of Marine has appointed a commission to inquire into the gum trade. The people of Marseill es comp l a i n of the monopoly at Senek,ral of the gum trade ; the 'Bordeaux people, that, unless the Moors are traded with by a company, they will raise the pric e o f t h e gum. The Marseillais reply, that the price is raised by the English ; and the Moors prefer burying it, and bringing it to them at Portendic, rather than l sell it a t. the limited price offered by the g a Company. NAltgweritillsa, taa bodyln nding the triumph of the Fr enc h arms of 5,000 foot and 600 cavalry of Arabs attacked the blockhouses in advanee of "gie , on th e 25th , an d h oped to surprise that town. They - were beaten back with loss. • The Madrid papers of the 4th have been received, Mbut their contents are wholly destitute of interest. ae Augsburgh Gazette of the 7th inst. announces that a camp of manoeuvres would be formed in the beginning of October, on both banks of the Mincio. It is to be composed of 34 battalions of infantry, 22 actuadrons of cavalry, and 12 batteries of artillery. The evolutions are to be commanded by Count Ra detzki, 3 eneral-in=Chief'of the Austrian forces in the Lombardo -Venetian kingdom. The Warsaw Journals of the Ist inst. publish a te • legraphic despatch from St. Petersburgh, announcing that the Grand Duchess Mary, wife of the Imperial CroWla Prince, had been safely delivered of a daughter, who,nceived th e name of Alex an d r i na.! • IVIONNY—TICAXIE—COMMERCE. Large imports of grain have arrived during the past week in upwards of 20 vessels from Constan tinople, and the ports of the Black Sea. The gum trade at Senegal, it is said, will not pro duce this year -one-half of its usual amount, and the numerous vessels at present on their way to St. Louis Will have to seek freight elsewhere. A feeling of great discontent prevails against the existing mono- Poly by privileged parties. LAW' AND POLICE. Yesterday Captain Thomas Jamison, master of the ship Euphemia appeared at the Thames Police-office to answer the claim of a seaman, named John Thomp son, who sued for a balance of 14/., wages earned by him on a voyage from Greenock to Newfoundland and Jamaica. There were seven other claimants, but it was agreed that this case should decide the whole. Captain Jamison resisted payment on the round of th e cargo h av i ng b een plundered.

He also admitted that occasionally he had given his servants permission to take apples and pears, but de nied that he had ever given the prisoner permission to take the wasp-eaten or wind-fallen pears as his per quisite. The policeman who took the prisoner into custody, said, that he had searched a cupboard in the prisoner's house for varnish, but he could not recollect who had told him about the varnish. No varnish had been found on the prisoner's premises. Mr. WALLINGER having addressed the Jury for the defence, calleri Mr. Thomas Pratt, a draper, residing at Mitcham, who had carried on business there for 40 years, and to whom Mr. Harland, when asked if he did not think that Browne had undergone punishment sufficient by being in the cage all night, replied, " It is not for the pears." Mr. Russell, in whose service the prisoner had been for ten years, gave him an excellent character. He had frequently employed the prisoner to gather pears, and it had always been usual to allow the person ga thering pears - the windfalls and the inferior fruit as his perquisite. He would have no objection to take the prisoner into his service to-morrow. Mr. Kirtland, of Mitcham,- who went with Mr. Pratt to the prosecutor, corroborated the evidence of Prat as to the expressions made'use of by Harland. The CHAIRMAN having summed up, the Jury re turned a verdict of Guilty, but strongly recommended him to mercy, and expressed a hope that the verdict would operate on others, for that many persons in the situation ,of the prisoner were in the habit of taking fruit and other articles of small value, without think ing that they were •doing wrong,' much less that they were committing a felony, and were consequently unaware of the serious consequences with which such conduct might be followed. The CHAIRMAN sentenced the prisoner to seven days' solitary confinement in the House of Correction at Brixton. Marti Stephenson, aged 64, was indicted for steal ing, at Chobham, a hurdle, the property of S. Turner. The prosecutor, who farms some land at Chobham, had frequently been robbed of hurdles, and in conse quence determined to set a watch. His servant, John Stevens, who was watching on the night between the 3d and 4th of September, saw the prisoner on his master's premises with a hurdle under his arm. Stevens stopped him, and the prisoner said he would pay Mr. Turner for the hurdle. The prisoner admitted taking the hurdle, but said he only intended to borrow it. The Jury found him Guilty, but recommended him to mercy on account of his age. The Ch AIRMAN was not surprised at their recom mendation, but would not accede to it, inasmuch as the prisoner had been twice previously convicted, and had been transported for seven years. Under these circumstances, the Jury withdrew their recommendation. The prisoner was then removed, the Court taking time to consider it 3 judgment. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL--(THIS DAY.) James John Reveley was placed before Mr. Alder man Hooper, having been remanded upon a charge of obtaining money under false pretences from Mr. Pol ston, a barrister in the Temple, and a great number of other persons. Mr. Volston stated that the prisoner called at his chathbers on the 9th of August, and said he was in great distress, and was a native Of Durham. He said he would refer witness to Mr. Cassidy, the incum bent of St. Giles, Durham. Witness gave him 2s. 6d., and a feW days afterwards he called again, and he gave him . 2s. 6d. more. He came .the next day and said he was going to return to Durham if he could get ss. Witness gave him 55., and he was surprised to meet him in town a few days after wards, and he then said that he had obtained a situation at 18s, a week, but upon inquiry he found that this was untrue, and the prisoner was given into custody. Other witnesses gave similar testimony. Mr. Alderman HOOPER said he had received a letter describing the prisoner, stating that he had been several times charged with a similar offence, and he should therefore commit him for three months. The prisoner, who had been up to this time very quiet and well-behaved in the dock, when he heard the decision of the Magistrate, attempted to make a resistance, but was overpowered, and taken back. BOW-STREET. —(THIS DAY.) John Gray, Augustus llPCarthy, Sarah M'Carthy, and Sarah APCarthy's baby, who has not yet undergone the ceremony of christening, were placed at the bar, charged with a ssau lti ng William White and Su sannah, his wife, in the following manner : The complainant, who is a peculiarly sedate, prosy looking individual, commenced, in &hollow sepulchral tone—" In the dead of the night there came a noise at our door, in No. 1, Denzill-street, Long Acre. Mv wife Susannah and me turned ourselves round, as we lay on our straw, and a voice came to the door, and ses, Now you —, I'll have your heart--I'm sober and I'll have your heart.' Then there came the pressure of the hand against our door, the foot and the body followed, and at length the frail timber yielded to the profane pressure of.those publicans and sinners, and Mr. Al'earthy and that fine gentleman made their way in amongst us, and they beat me and they beat my wife as long as they could stand over us. Amen !" Mr. TWYFORD—WeII, now. you've told me a very long tale, but you havn't told me the reason for this. It appears at present to be a very outrageous pro ceeding. Complainant—They live in the same house as I do, and the only reason is, that I, being destitute for want of employment, could not pay ray relit. My goods were seized, and the rule being, " one d own, another a-top of him," they want to get, rid of me. Amen ! Susannah White complained of the female prisoner and the baby, that they urged the other prisoners to violence. Mrs. M'Carthy, who acted as spokeswoman to the party, said, that ever since the complainant had been in the house, there had been nothing but onecontinued turmoil in the neighbourhood. rl heir house, which was once a little paradise, was now a complete hell. Their once happy home had been rendered desolate. The front kitchen had become an invalid from the complainant's violent conduct ; the first-floor back was far advanced in pregnancy, and a miscar riage was likely to ensue ; and the second floor front had been in fits ever . since Friday last. The complainants had taken the trouble to fetch in a number of great large paving stones which they kept cop inually rolling about the floor to annoy their fellow-lodgers. Several witnesses gave the ccimplainants a bad character, and, under these circumstances, Mr. TWYFORD fined the prisoners only ss. each, or five days' imprisonment, with a special exemption in favour of the baby, who was discharged. MARYLEBONE.-(THIS DAY.) . _ _ Margaret CGreney, a well-dressed girl, about 12 years of age, was placed at the bar, charged with having stolen a gold seal and other articles, the pro perty of her master, Mr. Wm. Crouch, 34, Church row, St. Pancras. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner had been in the service of the prosecutor a few daA , s, and had been discharged on Sunday evening. It was soon afterwards ascertained by Mr. Crouch that two seals, one of them gold, with a brooch, a gauze handker chief, and other articles, had been stolen from the pre mises. Information was given to the police, and a portion of the property was found in her possession. The property was produced and identified by Mrs. Crouch, and the prisoner, who had nothing to say, was committed for trial. Elizabeth George was fined 40s. for using abusive anguage towards Sarah Dolby. UNION HALL.— (T. HIS DAY.) Jane Jane Evans was charged on suspicion a gold watch and seven sovereigns, the property of Mrs. Mary Jones, carrying on the, linen drap drapery business in the Waterloo. road.. The complainant stated that the prisoner, who is 15 years of age, was in her service, and had access to all the rooms in the house. That she (com plainant) had a gold Watch, seven sovereigns, and various articles of plate locked up in a drawer in her bed-room, and that she missed the watch and money on the preceding morning. The, prisoner, being suspected , was questioned, but she denied having been concerned in the robbery ; and when asked who the boy was who had been observed lurking about the house, and with whom she had been previously seen, she also denied that she knew anything about him. She was then threatened with being given into custody if she did not tell the boy's name, upon which she exclaimed, " then I shall take the poison you bought for ,the rats.". She then ran down into the kitchen, and before complainant had time to pre vent it, she swallOwed a quantity of arsenic, which was subsequently extracted by • means of the stomach pump.—The prisoner adhered to the assertion of her innocence, and was remanded. Yesterday morning the body of a well-dressed moman, With several rings on her - fingers, was taken out of the riv.r off Cuckold's-point, nothohithe, and con veyed to the dead-house. From the description of the deceased, as reported to the Thames-police, there is no doubt it is the body of the unfortunate woman who com mitted suicide by throwing herself from Waterloo tridge a t'ew nights ago, and was carried away by the current, and drowned before any assistance could be ob tained, THE RI NT, LONDON, TUESDAY FY:ENING, SEPTEMBER 13, 1842. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO, THREE. The markets to-day are generally flat, and prices rather lower, but without any particular reason. Consols are 924 92i for Money,. and 93 for the Account • New Three-and-a-half. Cents., 101 i. ; Indian JI Stock, 249 250 : Indian Bonds, 35 ; Exche ► quer Bills, Old, 49 51 ; New, 49 prem. Attention to- day has been principally confined to Brazilian Stock, in which some speculation has been going on; it has, however somewhat receded from the highest point, and fl:e nearest price is fin. A transaction in 'the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 52i includes all the other business in Fo reign Securities. The quotation for . Maxican Bonds is tits° lower, but the exposure the attempt hy certain parties to npe'- - rate largely for a fall in these, and to raise the rates of Spanish, has had the effect of putting a stop, for the present at least, to such business. It has long been known that individuals who were mixed up with the Exchequer bill affair, though not publicly, have been trying to raise speculations .similar to that which the proceeds of the fbrgeries were applied to sustain. And it is strongly rumoured, among* parties likely to be well informed, that the principal actor in that scheme is again engaged in the market by means of agents. The first endeavours were made upon our own funds, but these having proved unsuccessful, speculation in bonds was again resorted to; but it is expected that the operations . even in these will be dis countenanced. The quotations to-day are Mexican 3511; and Spanish Five. per Cents. 16i. With the exception of a' slight advariee in London and Birmingham Railway Shares, which have been sold at 1811, this market presents no feature. South Eastern and Dover have been sold at 22f ; Croydon, 10i; Bristol and Exeter, 461; and Edinburgh and Glasgow, 488. It would appear that the proceedings in regard to the circulation of the forged Exchequer bills have not terminated, the Committee having taken steps for a more thorough investigation.

LAYMOUTH CASTLE, PERTHSHIRE, FRIDAY NIGHT, TWELVE O ' CLOCK.—This day was not so favourable for out-door exercise as yesterday, inasmuch as it rained continuously during the greater part of the morning; but, nevertheless, her Majesty walked cut in the reserved grounds, and his Royal Highness Prince Albert went to the preserves shooting at the early hour of nine o'clock. Her Majesty and the Prince were witnesses in the afternoon of a set of highland dances in front of the Castle, with which they seemed to be very much de lighted. This national exhibition•was attended by a great number of the neighbouring nobility and gen try, as well as by those who happened to be visitors .in the Castle. Sir Robert. Peel was among the number, and . the Right Hon. Baronet looked on the sport very gravely. --Alt-Pox Made was also present, very actively engaged in arranging the dancers and placing the swords in the sword dance. His Royal Highness Prince Albert returned at half-past three o'clock to luncheon, after having had a good day's sport. _ _ A grand ba"11, to which 100 persons were invited, closed the evening in the most brilliant manner.

Thursday morning was ushered in by dense ' ' clouds of mist, enveloping the sides and completely conceal ing the summits. of the surrounding hills and moun tains, and shortly after the hour of sunrise these misty clouds fell in alternate h eu ey.showers and drizzling rain, filling the gravelly bottomed ravines and bents of mountain-rills with gus hi n g streams of water, e( d s adding to the freshness of the verdure on their banks and the richly wooded country,, and greatly enliven ing's the whole scene. The rain continued to fall until past nine o'clock, but it did not prevent Prince Albert from proceeding with his noble entertainer, the AI quis of Breadaibane,the summitof T to su ullohoule to enjoy the. truly highland sport of deer stalking. ih . e Prince and the Marquis left the Castle on horseback, and were joined by Sir Alexander Campbell, Bart., powder horn slung of Barcaldine, having• under his charge the game keepers_e and foresters, upwards of thirty athletic and t fin .• looking men, all dresOd in full Highland cos ume, made of shepherd .. tartan, each having a marched in military shoulder.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. CHRONICLE.—WhiIe Parliament is not sitting, and official men are realising the pleasant anticipations Of Sir James GrahaM in the sports of the field, the policy and proceedings of Government can be known only from such revelations as are permitted to be made by the Ministerial press. This must be our apology for again adverting to the sort of defence, if we must so term it, that is put forward by the only journal that still ventures to defend the, conduct of 1 Lord Ellenborough. On the 11th of March, in reply to a question from Mr. S. Wortley, Sir Robert Peel observed, " By an act, marked with a perfidy and treachery almost as gross as that by which Sir W. M'Naghten lost his life, the English troops were at tacked three days after they had entered into a capi tulation, and had certainly sustained great loss. Her Majesty's Government would take every measure that it might be advisable to take to repor this partial disaster. Under the circumstances, h laud no doubt Parliament would give her Majesty's Go vernment its confidence and support, whatever might be the demands which they should feel it their duty to make, in order to repair the disaster that had occurred, and to satisfy the public in this country, in India, and throughout the world, that they were deter mined to spare no sacrifice in order to maintain their Indian empire." Subsequently, upon the Bth of April, in the most effective speech which he made upon the Income-tax, Sir Robert • Peel remarked, " This disaster, I trust, will be speedily repaired by the spirit and vigour of your counsels, mid by the gal lant exertions of your armies • The loss, I say, is not irreparable. Every effort Ought to be made, and every effort shall be mode to restore it. And shall we not have the means of doing so ? How can we judge of the moral effects of these occurrences ? (I low indeed !) Recollect what efforts it may be necessary for Government to make for the purpose of retain ing that great empire,_ which depends less upon your physical force than upon the moral power which you exercise over its numberless inhabitants. If some decisive effort must be made for the res cue of the troops—(prisoners, we presume, too) who are still in Afghanistan—if some strenuous mea sures must be taken for the reparation of that great disaster—if some glorious feat of arms must be achieved for the retrieval of that temporary slur which has been cast upon your commanders and your forces, if that must be done, cannot you perceive the positive necessity of your making here, at home, some vigorous exertions for the sake of supporting Government in those e f forts which you admit that it is absolutely requisite that the Government should take ?" At the very time, upon the very day, we believe, that Sir Robert Peel was entering into these engage ments with the representatives of the people of Eng land, Lord Ellenborough was issuing his commands for "the withdrawal of the army serving north of the Indus within the British provinces." What a com mentary upon the promises of the Prime Minister are the proceedings of the Governor-General ! Of this apparent inconsistency, let us hear the ex- ' planation, or rather one of the explanations, of the Government journal. " We think it is very injudicious," says that most judicious scribe, "to be jumping at strained conclusions from the few words uttered by Sir Robert Peel in the house of Commons just at the moment when the news of that fatal qlliiir had arrived. Every man's mind was at that time in a state of very painful excitement on the subject, and it was impossible that these delibe rations should have been gone into by the Government, and the decisions arrived at which so momentous an occa sion demanded. Sir Robert Peel gave- utterance at the moment to the sentiments which were burning in the heart of every man, but to fasten upon his words as if they were pledges to a scheme of policy, which at that time could not possibly have been considered, is un worthy_ of any rational commentator upon . public affairs." This we extract verbatim et literati?"' from the Ministerial journal, which appears to have been entrusted with the defence of Lord. Ellen borough. Admitting for a moment (extravagant though the admission be), that when Sir Robert Peel made his first declaration on the 11th of March, his mind was in that " state of very painful excite ment," is it, may we be permitted to ask, " un worthy of any rational commentator upon public affairs," to suppose that by the Bth of the following month he was sufficiently calm and collected,to give a dispassionate reply upon the very same 'subject? Referring to the Right Hon. Gentleman's speech of the Bth of April, it seems as little to have resulted from " a state of painful excitement" as any speech we have ever heard measured out by the same cold, calculating dealer in parliamentary common. place. Sir Robert Peel, indeed, " give utterance to the senti ments which were burning in the heart of every man !" Not only the passage we have quoted, but the whole . speech from which it is taken much more resembles . the counting-house calculation of some 'skin-flint economist, than the outpouring of a heart capable of feeling any degree of excitement, except such as pre vailed upon that memorable night of the Bth. of April, ' lest the Minister might not have been able to bring up his report upon the Income-tax. POST.—We should hope, from the tone which public discussion has taken in the Journals for some time past, that statesmen will begin to think more se riously than they have ever yet done, of looking very earnestly into the condition of the working masses of our countrymen, and determining what is to be done. It appears very probable, and almost certain, that something must be done for the relief and support of industrious poverty, different from anything which has yet been attempted. Contemporary journalists remind us that the harvest is abundant—that, besides the produce of our own fields, the nation has posses sion of a large quantity of foreign grown .corn—that there is, in short, great abundance secured within the kingdom, but as 'yet there is no impulse given to cora -1 mercial enterprise. To come more directly to the point, the case is this—that a sufficient stock of comforts ex•• ists in the country, but. the means of their distribution do not exist. Now, the problem for statesmen to work is this—to find additional and sufficient means of dis tribution, which shall nevertheless give no rude shock to the existing arrangements of society, and which shall not award to the wilfully idle, or to the violent, that share—amounting to a decent subsistence-- , .which all who are -willing to work and to obey the laws %tight to have. The Minister has said that, after considering the state of the country,. and the distress of the working people, the only remedy he saw was in the extension of commerce. But if the Minister should see that after all he can do to extend com merce it does not extend, or at all events, it does not remove the distress, and the difficulty of finding decent: subsistence by the exertion of labour, then -he will no doubt take a wider view of the great question, and try to find some honest method by which. the accumu lated wealth of the country may reach the labouring classes, and be reproduced." In - the existing state of things commerce may be very much extended, and much may be added to the wealth of the manufactur ing and mercantile capitalists, without -materially be nefiting the labouring masses. For the existing machine power is capable of greatly extending its pro ductions, with very little extension of the employ ment of manual labour, and thus, while the work of accumulation goes on extensively and rapidly, the work of distribution is very little and very slowlx increased. Formerly, the necessity o femploying manual labour, in order to make a profit of capital,. was a sure guarantee that a considerable amount of the profit. , would be distributed among the working people. Machinery greatly interferes with this mode of; distribution. We do not want to say anything against the use of machinery—all we desire to sug gest is, thst its employment is a very serious abridg ment of those means of distribution . of wealth among the working people which formerly existed, and as distribution is the object to be attained, it is right that this hindrance should be taken into account. It is said that landlords live on the produce of other men's labour, as if they were in an especial milliner bound to take the responsibility of all the difficulty ' which exists. But the lords of cotton-mills, am i d o f money lent out at interest, or embarked in trade, equally live on the produce of other men's labour. The pity is that they all do not require a much greater amount of men's labour upon which to live; for if. they did, then the poor, vho are willing to work, would get a larger proportjo) i of the rents and 4 ......_ , profits and annuities of the Tie than they do. Let us steadily bear in mind that distribution is the main point to be held in view. It is not as if the country did not contain enough to maintain .the people. In that case a totally different kind of remedy should be thought of. The thing to be done is to distribute without wasting. . . TIMES..—The uflicial statement respecting the commercial relations of Russia and Prussia, which has been put forth by the.PruisianGovernment, and which appeared in the Times of last Thursday, does ' far more than the sp e C u l at i ons of all Europe to confirm' the view we have taken of the circumstances which attended the recent interview. of the two Sovereigns at St. Petersburgh, and of the consequences of that inharmonious conference. The whole tone of the paper which has been inserted in the official journal of the ' Cabinet of Berlin is one of hostility to the commercial policy of Russia, and of the apology for the apparent concessions, or rather arrangements for reciprocity of na vigation which have been made on the present occasion. 'le Prussian Government declares .", that a more ex tended trade, such as formerly existed between the eastern provinces of Prussia and Russia, to the ad vantage of both, cannot in the present situation of Russia be restored ;" and that although an attempt was made in 1836 to place the commercial relations of the two States on a better footing, "unfortunately the regulations having reference to the commerce and intercourse of the frontiers since then made have been &mid more embarrassing and oppressive." Nor is this all. It is added, with a brevity which by no means diminishes the importance of the fact, that " the cartel convention with Russia expired on the 29th of March, and is now only continued till the 29th of September." That is to say, that after the expiration of the provisional prolongation for six months the treaty will not be renewed. In themselves these cir cumstances may not be of very gTeat interest to this country, but when we recollect what they imply, it is hardly possible to exaggerate their importance. The language in which this document of the Prussian State Gazette is couched is plain, and severe to a de gree not often used by one Government in speaking of or to another. Yet it is the authorised language of the official press of Berlin, sr caking not only to the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh but to. the world, and with a harshness which is considerably augmented by its publicity. This is a declaration in favour of a liberal commercial policy emanating from the principal State in the German Customs League ; and it is no exagge ration to assert that Prussia is most able and ready to detach herself from the political influence of Russia when she speaks on behalf of the interests of that great body. By her internal administration of her Polish province, and by the pledge which the King has given to respect its nationality, Prussia ha s resolutely adopted a system which contrasts most powerfully , with the vindictive and deStructive administration of her powerful neighbour. By the refusal to renew the cartel treaty, and by the pub lication of these views of the Cabinet of Berlin, a no less serious blow has been aimed at the commercial policy of. Russia in Europe. It need scarcely be added that the King of Prussia, owes the power to assume his present position to his deserved popularity in his own :dominions, including the Polish and Rhenish parts.of them, and to the support which the German League cannot but afford him in a discussion which orginates in the defence of the commercial interests of Germany. From these sources he derives an indepen dence and a security unknown to his predecessors. Prussia, speaking and negotiating in the name of the whole population of the League, and feeling that her d;plomatic operations are supported by the unity and strength of the German people, is a very different power from the Prussia of 1815. ' Her open territory and her imperfect influence in the Federal Diet, ba lanced by that of Austria, . then obliged her to rely on foreign alliances, and to conform to the policy ot her neighbours ; but the Commercial League is a home alliance, and more than ' an alliance, since it has identified the interests of a nation with her 'own. That League was perhaps not formed for political objects, and its commercial origin strengthens the probability of its duration; but politi cal consequences of the greatest importance cannot fail to arise from the external relations of the German Customs Union ; indeed, the distinction between a commercial union and a political alliance is an ima ginary one, since whatever unites the interests of a nation must combine their policy, their diplomacy, and, in case of danger, their strength. MONEY MARKET and CIT Y NEWS. CITY, MONDAY EVENING. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. POST.—The dealings in the Consol Market are still limited in amount, while in the Foreign Market the transactions were quite destitute of novelty, with the exception of what occurred in the Mexican and Brazilian Funds. An attempt was made to depreciate the former, but on what ground is not at all apparent, nor does it seem to have been attended with much success. It is the impression of most persons inter ested in the financial progress of Mexico, that the pre:ent Government is resolved to act with good faith towards the foreign creditors of the Republic to the utmost practicable extent, and of this, indeed, a satis factory earnest has been afforded in the prompt liquidation of the Treasury certificates issued in dis charge of overdue Coupons ; so that little attention is paid to the factious proceedings of a party not ranking very high at the Stock Exchange in disparagement of this Stock, as will be seen by the quotations. They are barely * worse than on Saturday. There was in Brazil Stock an advance of 11 to 2 per cent., the rate standing at one time as high as 68*, but which at the close of business had receded to 68. The Market for this Stock has doubtless acquired greater firmness through the generally favourable advices received on Friday from Rio Janeiro, the accounts from the in terior having, according to those advices, proved more encouraging than any that had preceded them for some time. The financial position of the Ministry was, moreover, sufficiently easy to furnish something like an assurance of due provision being made for the dividends maturing in this country for a time to come. SUN.—The Funds continued flat, and Consols left off at 921 924 for Money ; India Stock, 249 251 ; Ex chequer Bills, Old, 51 53 ; New, 49 51 premium. In the Foreign market the prices of the Securities were—Belgian, 102 103 ; Dutch Two-and-a-half per Cents., 521 52*; the Five per Cents., 1021 102/ ; Danish, 83 84 ; and Brazilian, 661 671, this last showing an improvement. The quotation of Mexican was 35i 35*. This de cline is attributed to operations which have been car ried on by parties who have occupied a very conspi cuous position in a large blue book, lately presented to Parliament, and who, within the last two days, have been endeavouring to depress these bonds ; and f'ollowing the example of Messrs. Solari and Eapallo, to raise that of Spanish. In the Share Market, London and Birmingham were 179 181 ; Birmingham and Gloucester, 42 44 Great Western, 83; the Half Slares, 591 591; South Western, 58 59 ; North Midland 56'58 ; the New Shares, 27 28; South Eastern and 'Dover, 22 221; Eastern Counties, 81 81 ; Northern and Eastern, 38 381 ; Blackwall, 371; and Brighton, 33 1 1- 338 per share. The quotations for the Bonds were :—Colombian, 201 21 ; Peruvian, 15 16 ; Portuguese Five per Cents., 35 ; Spanish Five per C en t s ., 161 10; 1 and the lhree per Cents., 21120 A. The greater demand for money was most:visible in the afternoon, but a higher rate than two per cent. could not be obtained, at which there were eager lenders. Letters to the 14th of May have been received from Port Phillip. The intelligence from the settlement is favourable; both as regards imports and the prospect for colonial produce. The large quantity of cottons and other articles had been gradually worked off, and prices had proportionably increased. This intelligence, coupled with that by the overland mail, appears to lead to the conclusion that affairs in Australia are in a state of progressive advancement. Although the re sult of the last sales of wool did not show such high prices as those previously bud done, vet it would seem that a high profit was given to the grower. It may be here remarked, that quite, a new feature has of late arisen in this article—that of large quanti ties of our colonial produce now being exported to Germany, upon which country we for years were wholly dependent for our supplies. Intelligence from the Mauritius to the 4th June has come to hand. The crop of sugar had all been made, and had proved greater than had been expected. The planters generally having determined to ship the greater part on their own account, in preference toe e selling it in open market, as had usual l y case, prices were nominally higher. t labour continued, and the late measure the been the s with regard of to the Hill Coolies had been received, and gave satis faction, leading to the expectation that the crop next year would far exceed that of the present. A few letters from Buenos Ay res u p to the Ist of July, state that no alterati on had occurred eithe r in political so w r e commercial frairs ; the latter w ere as b ad u ßosas was exerti ng every llcould h e n . effort to get money, in order to provid e f or hi s attempts against the Monte \ ideans, which com pletely paralysed all commercial operations. No a l. terations hadtaken place in the rate of exchange. E-OPENINGOF LONDO N BRIDGE FOR VEHICLES.— Thi4 bridge, which has been undergoing a thorough re paving since the 15th .of la s t month, was opened yester day morning : The new pavement is laid down in gra nite stone, with a strong layer underneath, so as to with stand the wet and the great daily traffic. The carriage way has been raised a few inches, so that the bridge is now a straight line. The appointments of the Royal Artillery have at last been decided, and orders have been given for the ma nufactrire. of the car bi ne with which they are to be armed ; is somewh a t l onger than the Victor i a c arbine,. and altogether a most appropriate weapon.

We are not aware whether the belts are to be pipeclayed or blacked ; but for the sake of th l e comfort and a p pearance of the soldier, we trus t they will , be made of black leather.—Naval and Mildal Gazette. CORONER'S INQUEST. SUICIDE BY A PROFESSOR OF MUSIC.—This morn ing, at ten o'clock, an inquest was held at the Board- room of Middlesex Hospital, before Thomas Waklev, Esq., M.P., the Coroner, on view 'of the body of Mr. John Taylor, aged 62 years, a the of music, who committed suicide under the following circumstances :—The deceased, a widower, resided at No. 60, William-street, Albany-street, Regent's- Park, and was in v ery .comfortable • circumstances. Latterly he has become very strange and eccentric in his manner, and laboured under the delusion that a crowd of persons were continually fbllowing him about and slandering him. At times he stated that the persecution he endured was such that he wished he was dead ; and at others he would say that he knew it was a delusion, hut he could not divest himself of it. On Saturday last, having remained in his bed-room until a much later hour than usual, one of the inmates proceeded to call him, when he was heard groaning. On entering his room be was found in an insensible state, and about the apart ment were three bottles, which had con tained laudanum. He was immediately brought to this hospital, but although the stomach-pump was used and electro-galvanism applied, he expired shortly afterwards. On his dressing-table was found a note, in his own hand-writing, addressed "To the Coroner." The contents were :—" My persecutors and slanderers have at length induced me to commit this most horrible crime. I could hear it no longer. call God to witness that this is the truth. I have no care for man, but with the Deity these words will not avail."—Verdict, " Temporary mental derangement." LAUNCH OF THE SUPERB, 80-GUN SHIP.—The long-anticipated launch of this two-decked ship took place on Tuesday evening last, from her. Majesty's dock yard at Pembroke. She is truly a magnificent ship, with an elegant bust figure-head of her Most Gracious Ma jesty Queen Victoria. The day• was beautifully serene, and at an early hour every avenue leading:to — the town was thronged with per Sons of every grade, in vehicles, on horseback, or on foot—in fact, the town became so full, that it was impossible for the different inns to fur nish accommodation to the various applicants. The river exhibited a most animateil scene, being literally covered with ; vessels of every class and denomination, with their gayest colours flying, and bands of music playing. After the ceremony of christening had been performed by Miss Smith, the Superb. glided, gracefully into her destined element, amidst the acclamations of the vast multitude assembled to witness the imposing and never-tiring sight of the launch of a British man-of war. The Superb burdens in tons 2,583 38-94thr, and her dimensions are as follow ;--Length extreme 190 feet, ditto keel for tonnage 153 feet 6 inches ; breadth extreme 57 feet, ditto for tonnage 56 feet 3 inches, ditto moulded 55 feet 6 inches ; depth in hold 23 feet 4 inches. The mould-loft in the Dockyard was fitted up as a bazaar and fancy fair, the proceeds of which are to be approL printed for the erection of a national school in the town. —The Cambrian. During the entertainments at Taymouth Castle her Majesty selected several Jacobite songs, and among others—" Wae's me for Prince Charlie," and "Pibroch oThonuil Dhu," which were sung in excellent style by Mr. Wilson. A YOUNG WOMAN BURNT TO DEATH —At about a quarter to eleven o'clock on Sunday morning a lire was discovered in the house, No. 40, Fore-street, Lime house, inhabited by Mr. hirter, a mariner, and the ex citement and alarm of the inhabitants increased when it was ascertained that the daughter of Mr. Porter was in_ that part of the house where the flames were seen. This was in one of the hack rooms ; and on an entrance being forced, the young female in ques tion, Miss Elizabeth Potter, a fine young woman, about 19 years of age, was found enveloped in flame, and in the extreme of agony.

DovEit, SATURDAY E V ENING, SEPT. 10.—We Wl.' lIVIStaDd t hat Sir James ( ; valiant has sent a gentleman down to I)uver to investigate the case Of the ;"titting oil . of the hair of Messrs. Fitzjames and Glad Stone, , ' comedians, in Dover gaol, by order of the gaoler whilst they wore waiting 'for bail on Wednesday,. the 3i tt of Au g u s t l as t ; and that th e i nves ti gat i on w ill • I take place on Monday next. The spirit of indigna- I tion which' this arbitrary act has aroused is highly creditable to the public; and its being brought to j light gives another proof of the immense power and I te,efulnesa of the public Press, without whose aid th e ii!-treatinent of these poor players might . liave.been confined to a very narrow sphere. As this cwe has created no little interest in the i public mind, _we think it proper to narrate.the;cir [ cumstances out of which it arose. They are briefly these :—Mr. Frederick F ox C oo p er was .the manager of Dover theatre at the time of the fracas between him and his performers, which, it appears, called.formagiste ' rial inte r p os iti on . Th e business had for weeks previous been but i n diff erent, an d t h e manager had 'got in ar rears wit'l his company, certains members of - which, among others the cropped comedians, thought he did • not pay l . them up in anything like a flAir and honest proportion, according to the receipts of the house, and consequently, on the night of his benefit, after the audience had assembled, they struck, telling him that they would not go on till he either paid - up their sa laries or compromised the matt er . Ihis•proposal was rejected, the actors still stood out, and the hbuse was consequently dismissed. Next morning Messrs.. Fitz • james and Gladstone appeared at the bar of the police court, charged with assaulting Cooper. - Mr. Fitz . james was convicted of the assault, and fined 10s. ; after which the same parties were held to bail for threateaing l Cooper, and not having bail at hand,' com mitted, and remained an hour or two in custody of the Dover gaoler, during which time the crapping of the hair and other indignities were inflicted on them. On the Friday following Messrs. Fitliames and Glad stone took out summonses against Mr. Coulthiird, the Dover gaoler, for assaults ; and for the report of tino case, with the singular decision, the public are in debted to the Darer Chronicle, though we perceive the London papers give the credit of it to the Kentish Observer, which copied it from the Dover paper. The gaoler, in his defence (it ought to particu larly observed), stated, as an extenuation, of his bar barity towards Messrs. Fitzjames and Gladstone, that other gentlemen—a Mr. Beresford and ti Mr. Baring —had also been cropped in Dover gaol ; but he died not add the fact that the operation was performed on these gentlemen (who were in his custody for some time—one of them for months—and were denuded of their hair) by a fashionable barber in the usual style, while Messrs. Fitzjames and Gladstone ,were • rudely deprived of theirs by the inexperienced hands of a common felon. Previous to " clearing the Court" of reporters and all (an universal practice with our Dover Midwies, befbre they come to a decision, however plain-sailing the case may be), Mr. Fitzjames, who is a spirited young fellow, and an excellent light comedian, called on the Bench to visit with its censure the treatment they had met in Dover gaol ; and expressed a hope, that whatever prejudice might exist against actors, they would not be influenced by such •pre,:udice. Though he was now a poor play er , h e was by birth and education a gentleman ; and, as could be attested by individuals in Dover, he had at no distant-period occupied a situation in society equal to themselves. If the Mayor of Dover and the majority of th, brother Justice Shailows that were on'the bench on Friday, the •2d inst., came to the conclusion that the "governor" of Dover gaol was "perfectly justified" in his brutal treatment of Messrs. Fitzjames and Gladstone, we know that many of his brother Ma gistrates hold a ver y diff erent opinion, and that they= t.el extremely sorry that the place has been disgraced by this outrageous proceeding, which has called forth almost•universal condemnation. The Dover people have of late been 'not a little astonished at some former curious decisions of the Magisterial bench, which the local Press, it would appear, is • not independent enou g h t o - ex p os e ; but now titat.the London journals have got access to th© secrets of the prison -house, it is to be expected that it will ,not fail to inflict upon them that degree' of ani madversion which they may hereafter merit. SUGAR INSURANCES. A Correspondent makes several observations on the charge for insurance of sugar, which, he'says, has a tendency to injure the port of London, charge from Jamaica to London being 50s. per cont., to Glasgow 355., .and to Bristol or Liverpool 30s. The reason assigned for the difference of premium to Lon don is the Channel ; and our Correspondent, .remark ing that, on an average, vessels bound to - London and Bristol would keep together till 30 or 40 miles S.W. of the Land's End, observes that we have. only to cal culate the amount of risk from that point to London or Bristol, to judge if the premium to the former be overcharged or. not. Now, it seems the, insurance paid on sugar from Bristol to London is, at most, 12s. per cent., and that this sugar must exactly traverse from Bristol to the point where the Jamaica vessels parted company, and then traverse N London the ground taken by the London vessel. From the dan ger of the Channel, the premium is then apportioned as follows :—namely, 3s. 6d. to the point where the Jamaica vessels parted company, and Bs. 6d.--tVence to London. According to this estimate, the premium from Jamaica to time point referred to being obtainM by deducting 3s. 6d. from 80s., is :IGs. Gd., and if 85. Gd., Le added to this for the risk of theClannel, the premium to London ought only to be 3s. •We do not by any means design to vouch for the correct ness of the calculation, but as it seems to he worked out with some care, we state it without comment.— Morning Paper. Mr. Andrew Roxburgh, manufacturer, accompa nied by Provost Henderson and Bailie Blnith, repaired! on Wednesday to Taymouth Castle, to present a shawl to the Queen, as a mark of pr o f o und r e s p ec t f or t h e kindness she had manifested in so liberally patroni s i ng the manufactures of Paisley, and to show her Majesty the degree of perfection to which the manufacture of shawls had been carried. Next moraine- they obtained au interview with the Marquis of Breadalbane. Such access at such a time could not, probably,- have been ob tained by any private parties, but the manes of the Pro voft and One 0( the Magistrates of Paisley proved effec tual. The deputation, having made known their object, was most courteously received, and, as the Noble Mar quis was going; out with Prince Alb e rt, he yeferred them to the Marchioness. The Provost accordingly sent a note to that noble lady, and was admitted to an audience, when he was informed that her Majesty bud been graciously pleased to accept of the shawl presented, and it was accordingly delivered to the Marchioness to be put by her into the hands of the Queen. The 'shawl pre sented is a splendid eight-quarter one, made of' the finest wool and silk. It is qu ar t ere d— t h at i s , i t i s divided into four quarterly departments, each of the same pattern, but of a different ground co:our—the four colours being black, scarlet, Royal blue, and avanturine. .The pattern Is of great richness, taste, and beauty, and has been ma , . nufactured for Messrs. Harvey, Brand, and Co., under the superintendence of the Messrs. Roxburgh, of Paisley. The deputation left the Castle about one O'clock on Thursday, and had the good fortune, in . oue of the ave nues, to meet her Majesty, who graciously acknowledged their salutations. We may notice, and we do s l o iad w th pleasure, that several of the Noble Ladies whd_f lst _ t. as sembled to meet 'the Queen at T a ydript h ith est C o . f. - ‘ l , i li o ci n t Wednrsdny, wore shawls, some of . t 12. of the Forth at this were of Paisley manufacture.—Pat k i r A r lvrtiser.

At this early period, also, another Royal Personage visited t hi s place. Prince Edgar Atheling, the brother of Queen Margaret, was pursued by Willian4 the Conqueror, and, sailing up the Forth, landed at a rock a furlong further west, which was called from that circumstance tort Edgar. The rock remained in all:its rudeness and roughness for many centuries. indeed,,-it is only about 30 years since it was hammered and ehiselleddown, and a commodious quay and breakwater erected on its site. In this improved state it was honoured i - O'Years ago, as the place from which his Majesty George IV. embarked after his visit to Scotland. But, besides thiipier, there are four others, which were all erected or improved at the saute time as Port Edgar. The one at Newhulls, on the east of the burgh, is the general landing-place, and it was here that Prince Leopold landed from the north, after his and the nations hopes were blighted by the death of his consort, Princess Charlotte. And it is this slime quay at Newhas that has now become the scene of hovel visit that is more interesting by far to Edinburgh Erening Courant. We are proud to he able to record the following anecdote coiniected with her Majesty's reception. We give' it not on rumour, b e t on most respectable authority, such as we can in every respect rely upon. On her Majesty's returning from the visit to Edinburgh Castle, a Noble Lord in irttendanec, whom we could name, in quirts( how her Majesty was pleased ? The gr ac i o us reply was, ,d I in n delighted with the country and the people. I did not think there was such a spot in my do • • s ; and I shall not fail to pay Scotland a visit again in a differtnt style."—Stirlina Journal. • NEW Om:sit:vs.—There will shortly be started from Paddington some omnibuses upon a new : plan.
