Since we noticed the article in the Journal des Debat3, which epigrammatically ascribed the distress of England to foreign and rival nations borrowing our arts and raising up manufactories against manufactories, we have cast our eye over the returns of our foreign trade. We find from diem that in the years 1829 and 1840 the declared value of our exports was to Russia, respectively, 1,435,805/.-1,604,742/.; to Sweden, • 38,252/.- 119,425/.;t9Norway, 64,234/.-78,0164.toDenmark 135,247/., .401,462/. ; to Prussia,lB9,oll/.,"219, 345 /.; to Germany, 4,475,5551.-5,498,4 5 9 1 . ; to Holland and Belgium, inclusive, 2,050,0141.-4,296,4761.; to Frany, 491,383/.--2,378,149/.; to Portugal, 1,195,6/o/.-1,110,244/. ; to Spain, 861,675/.- 404,=252/.; United States, 4,823,4151.-5,283,020/. These States comprise the principal, and, we believe, with the exception of Switzerland, with which we appear to have no direct trade, all the countries of the world which can be considered in any way as rivals of England, to have bor rowed our arts, or to have established manufacto ries which have interfered with England in sup plying their wants. At the same time, it is well known that the price of most manufactured articles since 1829 has fallen considerably, so that the declared value in 1840 of any amount represents a greater quantity than the same declared value in 159.9. Which, then, of these countries, is it which, by dispensing with our commodities, and manufacturing the same articles for itself, has inflicted a heavy blow on the trade and manufac tures of England ? Is it France, a rival country certainly, and an eminent country—a country growing in wealth— in which the Government has done all in its poWer to encourage native manufactures? Why, that country took, in 1840, nearly five times as much of our commodi ties as in 1829 .Is itGermany,which we rejoice to gnow is making rapid strides in manu facturing industry ?—Germany, notwithstanding that League, which ignorant persons amongst us continually revile, took from us one-fifth more in 1840 than in 1829 ? Is it Holland and Belgium ? Look, reader, at the official returns, and yon will find that our exports to Holland and Belgium have more than doubled in eleven years. The only countries with which in that period our ex ports have declined are Portugal and Spain, which have made, we believe, little or no pro gress whatever in manufacturing for themselves, and certainly can in no sense be said to be rivals of England. Those returns, far from giving us any reason whatever to be envious and jealous of the increasing manufactures and wealth of fo reign European nations, show clearly and dis tinctly that as they haye increased in wealth, like France, Germany, Belgium, and Holland, so has our trade with them increased, and so, we are sure, it will increase. With Portugal and Sp-tin, which have not attended to manufactures, and lOich haVe been engaged in war, our trade has lctsened. As there was this gradual increase in our trade with nearly all the world, up to 1840, and we have no reason whatever to suppose that it has since declined, our readers may ask whence can have arisen the present distress? These returns partly explain that. While our trade with almost all other countries has been progressively in creasing, with the United States it has been subjected to most extraordin . ary fluctuations. Front nearly 5,000,0001. in 1829, the value of our exports to that country rose to upwards of 0,000,000/. in 1831, and sunk to 5 ,400,000/. in 1832. From that period it rose gradually to 1836, when the value of our exports was 12,400,0001., and in 1840 it h a d again sunk to 5,283,000/. Our prosperity was indi cated by the exports, amounting to 12,000,0401. 2 on the continuance of which the manufacturers counted and made their arrangements accord ingly; our adversity is indicated by the 5,283,0001., which falls more than a half below their hopes and expectations ; while the amount of employ ment they can give the people engaged in sup plying that market, now falls more than a half below its amount in 1836. In the great fluctua tions of our trade with the United States, into the causes of which we do not now trouble our selves to inquire, lies the explanation of our pros perity in 1836, and our distress in 1842. The figures we have referred to, are, we think, full of hope for our country. In spite of Corn laws and timber duties, and other unjust and un wise enactments here, and in spite of numerous restrictions on trade abroad, the commerce of England with the world has gone on steadily in creasing. It has increased most, too, with those countries which, like herself, are addicted to trade and manufactures; we therefore see in the progress of other nations, unlike the Journal des Dobats and our own Tory Journals, the assured and certain sign, if our own Legislature will only allow us to share the advantages of other nations, of the continued progress in wealth and prosperity of our native England. We refer our readers to another remarkable Police case, which came before one of the Clerk enwell Magistrates on Saturday. The lady who was taken into custody, it appeared, was highly respectable, and, from all accounts, had committed no offence. Mr. COMBE, consequently, dismissed the charge. Five persons, however, who witnessed the conduct of the policemen, considering it unwarrantable, followed them to the station-house ; and, according to their so lemn asseverations, gave no interruption what ever to the police, but were, nevertheless, attacked by them, and treated with great brutality. Two policemen told a diffe rent story ; and the Magistrate preferring their evidence to that of respectable citizens, fined them in sums varying from 20s. to 40s. It will be remembered that two policemen, em ployed at Kennington-common, swore, on a recent occasion at Union Hall, to what they called facts, but which Mr. TRAILL declared to be falsehoods, and, disbelieving their testimony, the Magistrate fined one, and severely repri manded the other. In the occurrence which gave rise to the proceedings at Clerkenwell, the policemen, according to the Magistrate's decision, were evidently in the wrong. Might not that have excited some doubts in his mind as to their credibility in the second instance, and made him inquire why five respectable individuals should take the trouble of going to a police-station in behalf of a woman, about whom they knew no thing, except that they saw her ill-treated by a policeman ? STEAM NAVIGATION ACROSS THE ATLANTIC. — We see, with much regret, several indications that Steam Navigation across the Atlantic, which is such a noble proof of England's skill, and which has conferred so much benefit on trade, is not successful as a mercantile speculation. The Great Western Company is reported to be un able to pay its way. Cunard's Line, or the North American Mail Company, though it has received 20,0001. a year more to carry the mails than the contract was originally made for, is said to yield no profit. The West India Mail Packet:Com pany seems to be a complete failure. Under these circumstances, any suggestion which promises to be of service in making this important branch of navigation pay its expenses deserves to receive all the cir culation we can give it. Such a suggestion ap peared in the Times on Saturday, and it was on principle to run but one line of steam packets across the Atlantic, and make that line, by branches, serve as the means of communication for the United States, the West Indies, and South America. We think the idea a good one, but possibly the main line might be more ad vantageously chosen than as is proposed, to run to Halifax. It is not our purpose, however, now to enter into details, but at once to remind the public and the Government that the Great Western Company first achieved the arduous task of crossing the Atlantic by steam, and have been great sufferers, we believe, by the competition occasioned by the Government giving to the North Ameri can Mail Company large sums for carry ing the mails. That destroyed fair compe tition. In any arrangements, therefore, made for establishing one general line of steam packets across the Atlantic, that Company ought not to be forgotten if it cannot be incorporated in the undertaking, and have an equal share in any sum the Government may devote to their pur pose. It ought to receive some compensation fbr the injury done to it by the Government patron age having been bestowed on rival Companies. But for that it appears probable that the Great Western Company would for some time have had the whole field to itself. COURT CIRCULAR. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent left her residence, Frog more Lodge, near Windsor, on Satur day, for Bushy House, Bushy Park, on a visit to her Majesty the Queen Dowager. The Rev. Dr. Hughes had an interview with Lord Stanley on Saturday, at the Colonial-office. Mr. Morens, the Buenos Ayrean Minister, has re turned to town from a visit to Scotland and the North of England. Sir James Graham left town on Saturday afternoon for Cowes, Isle of Wight. Sir James was visited at the Home-office by the Chancellor of the Exchequer previous to his departure. Mr. R. Campbell had an interview with Lord Stanley at the Colonial-office on Saturday. Lord Fitzgerald, President of the Board of Con. trol, arrived in town on Friday. The Right Hon. W. Gladstone is staying on a visit to Sir Stephen Glynn, at his seat in Flintshire. The Chancellor of the Exchequer left town on Sa turday for the Isle of Wight. Dispatches for Sir Charles Bagot, Governor of Ca nada, were sent off from the Colonial-office on Satur day evening. Dispatches were also sent off for the Governor of Bathurst in the Gambia. The Earl of Minto has arrived at Farrance's Hotel. Belgrave-street, from pinto House, Scotland. STOCK JOBBERS AND CORN - DEALERS.—Mexican Stock fell considerably on Friday last. The Quaker spe culators in grain sacrificed upon these Bonds, so that they might have ready money to go into the Corn Market and raise the price for their own purposes. It is well known in the City that the Quakers hold this kind of stock al most exclusively, and it became a question with them whether it was better to sell the one at a sacrifice, or to admit unbonded corn. Being large holders of corn, they chose the lesser evil, and made the sacrifice upon their Mexican Stock (the dividend upon which will be due next month), and the result was that the new supplies were readily purchased, without any depression of the market. Another heavy failure was announced on Sa turday, arising from advances made on foreign corn. It appears the parties were holders of Mexican Bonds. 1% hick have been thrown upon the market for the laslitwo or three days, and accounts for the depression in the p"ice. AN EFFECTIVE POLICE OFFICER.—OR Monday, the 15th ult., on the breaking out of those outrages which have swept over the manufacturing districts of Lanca shire and the adjacent counties, a formidable number of females, assuming the appearance of the ancient Amazons, had set out patrolling' the country for the purpose of intimidating the peaceable inhabitants. These female heroes took it into their heads to visit the residence of a certain gentleman in the neighbourhood of Burnly. On one of the domestics threatening to call in the police, they dared him to do so, when he immediately walked up to the farm-yard, and turned out a favourite bull amongst the rude and clamorous agitators, who imme diately took to their heels, to the no small amusement and satisfaction of the inmates of the establishment.— Leeds Mercury, WOOLWICH, SEPT. 2.—EXPERSMEN TS WITH CON• CUSSION SHELLS AND ROCKETS IN THE MARSHES.— At half-past one o'clock, P.DI., to-day, Vice-Admiral Sir William Hall Gage, G.C.H., the Right Hon. H. T. L. Corry, Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, Major- General Drummond, C. 8., Director-General of Artil lery-, Colonel Paterson, Colonel Lacy, Colonel Turner, C. 8., Lieutenant-Colonel Dansey, C. 8., Lieut.-Colonel l)undas, C. 8., Lieutenant-Colonel Chalmers, Lieu tenant-Colonel Macbean, Lieutenant-Colonel Belson, Major Strangways, Captains Pallser, Shone, and Sand ham, and a number of officers of the Royal Artillery, assembled in the marshes to witness experiments with concussion -shells, invented by Captain Norton. The shells consisted of ten ten-inch, fired from a ten-inch howitzer; ten of eight-inch. fired from an eight-inch howit zer; and ten of the same size as a 32-pounder shot, fired from a 32-pounder gun; the whole thirty shot discharged at a range of 800 yards. The result of the experiments with Captain Norton's shells, exclusively to-day, show that five of the tan-inch shells did not burst, and five an swered very well. Of the eight-inch shells one went over the mound, six did not burst, and three burst with good effect. Of the 32-pounder shells one burst short of the target, one was fired into the mound purposely and did not burst, and six succeeded very well, bursting at the time they came in contact with the object aimed at, or on entering the mound. CUSTOM-HOUSE ROBBERIES.—Mr. Hastings, ne phew of the Collector of Customs at Limerick, has been dismissed the service, the Board having come to the con clusion, after the most deliberate and anxious inquiry, that he was guilty of aiding and abetting in frauds upon the revenue. Mr. Hastings was a landing waiter of some standing, and had hitherto borne a high character. The only other officers at present charged with participation in the frauds are 3lessrs. Burnaby, Homersham, Foot, Pool, and Lang—all landing waiters ; and their cases are now undergoing investigation ; meanwhile they are suspeaded. The two first-named of these officers seem disposed to make a full disclosure of all that is within their knowledge, not merely as to the system and extent of the frauds, but also the parties implicated in them. The investigation already goes far to prove that some of the very first houses for silk mercery in the City are im plicated ; but obvious reasons prevent us for the present from disclosing their names. The public may, however, rest satisfied, that full and speedy justice will be done in this matter, as there are now no less than four Surveyors- General sitting on the charges, and reporting to the Board the evidence taken, so th at t h e matter may be prosecuted and brought to a conclusion with the dispatch which the public have a right to expect. FOLKESTONE.—Government has at length resolved to sell our harbour, which is advertised to take place on the 23d September. We hear that Messrs. Grissel and Peto have offered a large sum for it. We are in hopes that Folkestone will now raise her head, and become a sea-port second to none on the coast. There are vessels drawing a large depth of water at present in the har bour. Craft that draw from 18 to 20 feet can now get in with ease, as an immense quantity of beach has been taken away for ballast by the vessels bringing imple- I ments, &c., for the railway.—Dover Chronicle. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 5, 1842. RONEY .31ARKET and CITY NEWS. CITY, SATURDAY EVENING. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. CHRONICLE.—The accounts from the Indus read much better than the "decimation by disease and death," alluded to in the French telegraphic despatch ; but the lamentable indecision of the Go vernor-General is viewed as a bad omen, and the arrival of the next Overland Mail will be watched for with unprecedented anxiety. We never could bring ourselves to look upon the appointment of Lord Ellenborough in any other light than as a national misfortune, and we fear that our opinion may not only be verified, but that it will turn out in the end to be attended with national disgrace. Great fears are at least entertained in the City that such will be the result of placing him in the high position which he holds as Governor of British India, and we only trust that his blunders may not be beyond the reach of reparation before means are taken to prevent him doing further:mischief. Under an impression that vigorous measures will be adopted to repair past dis asters, and that the government of India will be placed in efficient hands, the funds have been very little influenced by the news received to-day. Another firm of long standing has to be added to day to the list of victims who have been broken on the wheel of Sir Robert Peel's "new sliding scale ;" the house of T. W. Smith and Co. having been ob liged to suspend payments, chiefly on account of spe culations in foreign wheat. SUN.—On this day of the week but little business is ordinarily going forward in the Funds, and to-day the extent of it has been more then ordinarily limited. Consols left off at 928 for Maley, and 93 buyers for the Account. India Stock, 248 250 ; Exchequer Bills, Old, 51 53 : New, 49 51 premium. Prices of Foreign Securities remain nominally as they were yesterday, but nothing was done. It is to be noticed that some Chilian Bonds were sold at 91*. This fact is the more deserving of attention on ac count of the small number offering, and from that circumstance, there being no regular market for them, much advantage frequently taken unduly to depress prices upon sellers, and to raise on buyers, the jobber pocketing the difference. Some further sales of Mexican were forced this morning, and the quotation declined to 34i. for Money and 35* for the Account. These are solely to be at tributed to the operations of a certain party who is deeply interested in a rise in the corn markets, and who has preferred to sell these Bonds to support a rise in the latter commodity to submitting to a loss in it. The principal business in the Share Market was an advance in the rates of Brighton Shares, consequent upon the improved receipts, and the announce ment that monthly tickets were about to be issued. This latter is thought to be grand step towards a better system of management in all establishments of this description, inas• much as it induces more frequent travelling than would otherwise be undertaken. In this particular instance, it is said that the charges might be reduced beyond what it is at present contemplated, and with benefit to the shareholders, and at the same time members of a family or a nominee should be allowed to partici pate in the tickets, in order to secure the purchase of a larger number ; inasmuch as may frequently occur that an invalid merchant may frequently require the presence of a confidential clerk in prefer ence to coming to London himself. The price: at the close of the business were, London and Bir mingham, 185 187 ; Birmingham and Gloucester, 42 44 ; Great Western, 821 83*; the Half Shares, 65 65*; South 'Western, 5K 60 ; North Midland, 56 58 ; and the New Shares, 65 651, ex div.; South Eastern and Dover, 21i 22* ; Eastern Counties, 81 : Northern and Eastern, 37* 38*; Blackwall, 71 8 : and Brighton, 33 33k per share. The quotations of the Bonds were—Peruvian, 15 16 ; Colombian, 20i 20k; Portuguese Five per Cents., 344 3.1 ; the Threa per Cents., 201 21 ; Spanish Five per Cents. l 6 161; and the Three per Cents. Stock 20* 204. This has been the fourth of the month, and an unusually heavy day arising from it, being one of the quarters of the year, and such bills as might fall due upon the fifth being payable to-day. As far as general business has been concerned it has passed off remark ably well ; it has, however, to be announced, that a serious failure has taken place. Fewer houses in the City have had a higher reputation than this, arising as much from the almost proverbial caution of the part- ners, as from knowledge that speculation formed no part of their business, it being exclusively confined to legitimate agency. Al unfortunate reliance upon par ties who have failedfrom observing similar precautions has led to this result, but which it is expected will not prove ultimately of any serious consequence. The items comprising the fluctuation in the circu lation of the United Kingdom, comparing the present with the last, are as follows : ENGLAND.

A curious custom prevails among the Solonais, in the department of Orleans, when a young couple marry without the means of commencing housekeeping, as is ordinarily the case, the contributions of the neighbour hood being always forthcoming to supply the deficiency. The mode of collection is whimsical enough. Five young peasant girls, dressed in their best costume de fete, proceed to make the quete among the assembled com pany, which consists of nearly the entire population of the parish. Their operations are thus conducted :—The first girl holds a distaff and spindle in her hands, which she presents in turn to the company, while she sings— " L'epousee a bien quenouille et fuseau, Mais de chauvre, helas ! pas un echevau ! Pourra-t-etle done filer son trousseau !" The second damsel receives the offerings produced by this appeal in the husband's drinking cup ; the third acts the part of Hebe, and pours out a draught of wine, which she offers to each contributor to the store ; and the fourth carries a napkin, with which she wipes the mouth of the guest after his draught ; and thus prepared the way for the performance of the duty entrusted to the fifth—always the prettiest of the party—that of rewards ing him for his generosity with a kiss. SUICIDE OF A MAN AGED 92.—Yesterday, John Nicholson, who resided with his son and daughter-in law in Queen-street, Webber-street, Lambeth, destroyed himself under the following circumstances :—lt appeared that on the deceased not appearing at the breakfast table yesterday morning, the son went to his bed- room , w h en he discovered his aged parent weltering in blood, and his throat cut from ear to ear. In his right hand was the razor with which he committed the dreadful act. Mr. Adcock, a surgeon, of Short-street, New Cut, instantly attended the case, but the deceased had ceased to exist many hours before the discovery. It is stated that the deceased was in great dread of ultimately being obliged to apply to his parish in the country, which no doubt greatly affected his mind, and caused him to destroy himself. An inquest was held lately before Mr. Chapman, the Borough Coroner of Manchester, on the body of a child under one year old, which had been entered by its parents in no less than six burial clubs, for which they would receive the sum of 34L 3s. Another child had died about twelve months ago, for which nearly a similar sum had been obtained from different burial clubs, and what rendered the matter more striking and suspicious, was the statement made at the inquest, that not less than seven children of the family had die d . under the ag e o f 18 months. The jury, after some deliberation, returned a verdict that the child died for the want of proper nourishment, but how death was caused they knew not. It seems to be understood that Mr. Phillips, Under- Secretary of State for the Home Department, is about to retire from his of and that his successor is to be Mr. Gregson. Mr. Gregson has long enjoyed the per sonal intimacy of Sir IL Peel, and is known to have been his principal agent in preparing his Bills for his Conso lidation of the Criminal Laws when the Right Hon. Ba ronet presided over the Home Department. - ' p , S l / 4 - 11 , 4* 441# published in the Semaphore of Marseilles, has the fol lowing intelligence : The Druses, whom Omer Pacha had secretly supplied with arms, in order to enable them again to attack the Christians, are ready to renew their recent cruelties : but we are happy to believe that the presence of the French men-of-war on the coast ofziyria will defeat all these fatal projects.

" Who runs may read.' FOREIGLT. There is nothing of real interest in the leading articles of the Paris Journals. The Courrier Francais, in a notice of the last news from India, expresses an opinion that the power of England in that quarter of the world, having reached its apogee, is now in its decline. The Univers announces that Pope Gregory XVI. had sent to Mr. O'Connell a splendid cross and gold medal. M. Cullen, the Director of the Irish College in Rome, now on his way . to Ireland, had been charo,ed to present to Mr. O'Connell those gifts of the Holy Father. An official return has just been published of the, imports and exports of corn and flour in France, for the first seven months of the present year. The im ports ere as follow in metrical quintals (the metri•• cal quintal is 221f1b. English) :—Wheat, 202,541 ; other corn, 45,539 ; flour, 1,342. The exports were: — Wheat, 325,645 ; other corn, 200,037 ; flour, 70,194. The quantity remaining in the entrepots, on the Ist ult., were :—Wheat, 44,672 ; other corn, 16,123 ; flour, 8,479. The French Government granted, in 1841, three grand crosses of the Legion of Honour, seven crosses of Grand Officers, forty-eight of Commanders, and two hundred, and two Officers. The number of Knights' crosses conferred has not yet been officially stated. We quote the following from the Sentinelle of Toulon :—" The American squadron in the Mediter ranean has been reinforced by the Congress, a 60-gun frigate, which has lately arrived from Mahon, and a ship of the same nation is also expected. The differ ences which have arisen between the represen tatives of the United States and the Emperor of Mo • rocco are not likely to come to an amicable settle ment. An Envoy sent by the Commodore to the government of Morocco has not been received, and the Commodore only waits positive orders from his Government to commence hostilities." The Univers states, that the persecution com menced by the Emperor Nicholas against the Ca tholics of his empire had hitherto only served to in crease their numbers. In the city of Warsaw alone no less than 400 Jews abjured Judaism and embraced the Catholic religion in the course of 1841. The number of those who conformed to the Greek schism was comparatively small, although great advantages are held out to the Israelites who embrace the reli gion of the State, whilst those who become Catholics have nothing but persecution to expect. A Madrid Journal gives the following as the pre sent state of the Spanish navy :—Three ships of the line, 6 frigates, 1 corvette, 10 brigs, 9 schooners, 4 armed steamers, 3 armed sailing packets, and 2 small vessels of war. The ships of the line are at present not in a state for service, but one, the Sobe rano, is fitting out at Cadiz; only 3 frigates are fitted out, but one is getting ready at Ferrol, and another will soon b e ready for sea. It was reported in Rome on the 23d ult., that the Russian Minister, on receipt of despatches from his Court, had waited on Cardinal Lambruschini, the Secretary of State, with whom he had had a lively altercation. Should the influence of Russia prevail at the Papal Court, Cardinal Lambruschini will be obliged to vacate his post, in favour of Cardinal Ber netti, who has acted as Nuncio in Russia during several years. It was likewise stated that some dif ferences had taken place between the Cabinets of Vienna and Rome, but nothing serious was appre hended so long as M.Lutzow who is entirely devoted to the Court of Rome, should continue there as Am bassador of Austria. The National publishes a letter from Pesth, from which it appears that the Austrian Government was determined to prevent, by every means in its power, publicity being given to political as well as criminal trials. - The Court of Pesth having lately refused to sit with closed doors, the hall was immediately sur rounded by a battalion of infantry, and the artillery of Buda, which commands the city, was pointed against the building, in which the Judges were as sembled. The latter, compelled to yield toforce, man fully protested against the illegality of the proceed ing, and resolved on bringing the matter before the Hungarian Diet, at its next session. The Nile having reached the height of 18 ells, the haliche or embankment of the canal of Cairo was cut with the usual ceremony on the 17th ult. This rise in the river was considered to insure an abundant harvest in Lower Egypt, and an additional increase of four ells would produce the same beneficial effect in the upper part of the country. M. Keiser, who had arrived from England, with the prospect of be coming Secretary. to Beghos Bey, had left in the Great Liverpool, for Malta, on his way back to England. Private accounts from Alexandria come down to the 22d ult. The Paella issued fresh ,orders on the 18th for the fleet to hold itself in readiness to put to sea, and in the course of a few days three months' provisions were shipped on board. The vessels under sailing orders were 18 in number—namely, six ships of the line, two frigates, five brigs, and as many schooners and cutters. The Nile steamer, with the eight horses intended as presents for King Louis Philippe, was to sail on the 25th, directly for Mar seilles. *rtonbEttition SUN OFFICE Three o'Cloch. The conduct of Lord ELLENBOBOUGII, with respect to the war in Affghanistan, is severely criticised in nearly all the Indian journals received by the Over land Mail. Letters from Jellalabad of the Ist of June, published in the Bombay Times, the sole advocate of his Lordship's policy, state positively that General PocEocx had received an order recalling the whole of the British troops from Affghanistan, which he suppressed, determined to risk the responsi bility of waiting for instructions from England. The writer of a letter of the 29th of May, from the " Camp, Jellalabad," says :—" It is currently believed in camp that the General (PoLcocK) has received an intimation from the Governor-General, that the war in Affghanistan is not to be prosecuted any further; and it is said instructions have been received directing PoLEocR to retire immediately ; to which we hear that he has written in reply that he hesitates to obey them for three reasons :-Ist, the want of water on the road ; second, the impracticability of crowning the heights at that season of the year, in the event of his meeting with any opposition ; and, third, the impossibility of his returning without suffi cient carriage for the conveyance of his stores and baggage." In another letter, from an officer in the camp at Jellalabad, dated the Ist of June, we find the following :—" The disgraceful order has arrived. General Porxocx is ordered to re turn with his army to India, and thus has ended the war in Affghanistan. They would have gone to war with America if one man had been hung; in Affghanistan thirteen thousand men and women are cruelly butchered, and the affront is swallowed. The troops are dreadfully disgusted ; all wanted to go to Caubul to pay off old scores, and then retire, if you please." General PoLEocii, how ever, refused to peril the lives of his troops, and the rumour went that before his refusal had reached the General-in-Chief, the plan of an expedi tion for the conquest of Affghanistan, drawn up by the Duke of WELLINGTON, had arrived in Cal cutta, with instructions from the Govern ment at home to prosecute the war with vigour. Immediately the order sent to PoEcocK was countermanded, and something alleged about the blunders of Sir JASPER Nicola., who misunderstood the instructions of the Governor-General. In fact, a series of blunders had been committed somewhere, which produced the very worst effect upon the minds of the officers and men in garrison at Jellalabad and Candahar. The evacuation of Khelat-i-Ghilzie, by command of General NOTT, was likewise much condemned by the India papers. The dismantling and abandoning of works only commenced seven months before, and which, when completed, would have presented the strongest fort of Western Afghanistan, had greatly disheartened the troops at Candahar, who regarded it as a symptom of acknowledged weakness and danger. This fort was a place of great natural strength ; had an ample supply of excellent water, and was in the midst of a highly cultivated country abounding in provisions. Being only 80 miles from Candahar, 150 from Ghuznee, and 227 from Quettah, it formed an excellent central base for operations against Eastern Affghanistan. Had General NOTT been apprehensive of danger from the enemy, the abandoning Khelat-i- Ghilzie would have excited less surprise. But at the time he sent Colonel WYMER to execute that measure which he accomplished and returned with the garrison to the camp of Candahar, on the 6th of June—NoTT's force was upwards of 11,000 strong, with 24 pieces of artillery and nume rous mortars. Besides other supplies he had also re ceived a supply of seven thousand camels to convey the baggage, and twenty- lacs of rupees. He was, therefore, in a condition to move in whatever direc tion he pleased, and to maintain the garrison at Khe lat-i-Ghilzie. Our own impression, however, is, that Norr received the order of recal from the Governor-General about the same time as PoL- Locx, and that he prepared to obey it. His evacuaticn of Ghilzie was, therefore, but a pre paratory step to his march towards the Indus. In oo other way can we account for the evacuation of one of the strongest, best supplied, and most easily retained fortresses in Affghanistan. Altogether there is something ominously mysterious about the whole designs of our Government with respect to the Afghan war. The disturbances which prevailed in the manufac turing districts have, we are happy to say, almost en tirely ceased, and the working people in general have returned to their several occupations. Manchester continues, on the whole, in a satisfactory state, though the power-loom weavers still remain out, owing to a disagreement between them and the masters as to prices. At Birmingham, a better spirit manifests itself among the workmen, and from Rochdale, Preston, Wigan, and Disley, the accounts are equally favourable, the mills generally being in full operation. As the necessary consequence of a month's cessation from labour, there is an increased demand for goods, And trade and commerce are gradually improving, though slowly, in the port of London, as well as at the principal outports. These results must afford satisfaction to all parties, and we confidently trust that both masters and men will see the advantages of cordial union and, by due forbearance, and avoiding all clues of offence on both sides, prevent for the future tse recurrence of such painful and mischievous out breaks. The Government, too, are interested in these unfortunate disputes, and if they act wisely, and have a sincere desire to conciliate men who have borne their sufferings with such meritorious patience, they will be lenient to their offences. It is highly creditable to the people, considering the vast number thrown out of employment, and the starv ing condition of thousands, that so little seri ous damage has been done to property. This circumstance requires some acknowledgement, and it would therefore be an act of policy as well as of justice on the part of her MAJESTY'S advisers, to conciliate the sufferers, by leaning to the side of mercy, and showing them that they are a ctuated by no spirit of revenge, but by a paternal regard fur the best interests of the people themselves. There is a c onsiderable deal of miscellaneous news in the French journals of Friday and Saturday re ceived this morning. For the more interesting details, we refer to our Foreign Summary. The following extract from a letter in the Conqitutionnel, dated the 26th ult. from Berlin, is well worthy of attention. We apprehend that we are nearer another Revolution in Russia than most people in this country imagine:--= There has been Petersburgh. The hi s t ory o f the silver chair was a no explosion or disturbance at St• pure invention, but it is true enough that several regi ments of the Guards, in garrison at St. Petersburgh , w ere tampered with b y t h e disaffected. Money was distributed, and pretty cons iderable sums were found and men. on officers, sergeants, The secret police of the Emperor, under the command of General Benkendorf, received information from the consp irators them selves, and to the dis c l os ures thus made, we must a tt r ibute the terribl e d ue l b e tween the Princes Dol gorucki and Jasc hwyl seconds, and in which the w hich took place without former was left dead on the spot from his adversa ry ' s b a ll. In fact, the conspi racy failed completely ; the well-inclined regiments were informed of what wa s going on ; the people of St. Petersburgh meanwhile remained completely neuter, or rather fa sc i nate d by the ascendancy of the Emperor, so that the conspiracy was purely confined to the military and the nobility. If you desire to know what was the aim of this movement, I think I am able to inform you that the life of the Emperor was in danger, and th a t th e intention was to proclaim the young Grand Duk e . M exa nder, now 22 years of age, and to form for him a sort of Council o f Re g enc y to direct his affairs, whil st t h e young Prince would only reign in form. Th e d ange r has been avervd_ T for the moment, but the p os i t i on of the Emperor IVicholas remains exceedingly cr i t i ca l, having, on one side, a disaffected nobility, and, on the other , Poland held subjection, and Ger many t i re d of the Muscovite Caucasus, which an noys in in fluence, and slippin g - away ,complet el y from the Rus sian alliance. Add t o thi s the unfortunate war in the n o small degree the na tional pride, and that ambition which desires to plant the Russian flag at C ons t an tinople, and you will have a tolerable idea of the actual state of the colossal Em pire of All the Russias." There are reports of a widening of the breach between the Emperor of RUSSIA and the King of PRUSSIA, in consequence of the refusal of the former to mitigate the tyranny exercised against the Poles. " A letter from Alexandria, dated 22d August, and A MONEY-TIZADE-COWZMZRZEI. At Manchester, Bolton, and Bury, most of the mills are at work ; at Bolton about 120 persons have been apprehended for riot and outrage. At Stock port, the master manufacturers resolved on opening their mills this (Monday) morning. In Staffordshire, also, the return to work is expected to be general. At Bradford and Blackburn, trade has improved; and business promises better both at Halifax and Lei cester. At Leeds, also, there has been some amend ment. At Rochdale since the riots the woollen trade has resumed its full activity, and there is now a good de mand in the market. At Wigan also, in the hand loom weaving department, there is considerable im provement. It is computed that in consequence of the disturbed feeling of the operative classes at Stockport, and their determination not to return to work except on spe cified terms, upwards of 21,000/. has been withdrawn from circulation in that borough. This evil is already beginning to be felt by the Middle class and tradesmen. ECCLESIASTICAL. The two candidates for the vacant Bishopric of Meath, are Archdeacon Packenham and the Rev. Robert Daley. NAVAL AND DTILITA.RY. Major-General Sir Arthur Clifton is spoken of as successor to the late Lord Vivian, in the Ist Royal Dragoons. Lord Greenock is to take the Colonelcy of the 11th, or Prince Albert's Hussars. Joseph Randalls, a young Englishman, was ordered to receive 150 lashes in the barrack-yard of Nenagh last week for desertion. After receiving 100 the rest were remitted ; but he still persisted that he had been illegally enlisted, being taken while intoxicated. After receiving the infliction he put his jacket on his lacerated back, saying, "Is that all ? ru be dom'd if that'll make me li sojur either." The sentence of the court-martial held on Ensign Archibald Armstrong of the 41st Regiment of Foot, for conduct unbecoming an officer, was promulgated at Chatham on Saturday f i it annuls its former finding, and in lieu pronounces him guilty of striking off the hat of Ensign Lee, for which it orders him to be admonished. LAW AND POLICE, Mary Evans, the wife Ofar;.lnnlieeper near Llan trissent, murdered her child in that village on Thurs ,iay last, and then committed suicide by hanging he "self. L:.nney, the Chartist, was finally examined at Him ley, on Saturday. He was committed to take his trial at the Stafford sessions, but would be admitted to bail. vv Five prisoners were tried at Stockport on Saturday for being concerned in the late riots, but John Den nerley was the only person convicted, and committed to the Chester Assizes. PINE ARTS. The old and handsome fountain in the Court of Trinity College, Cambridge, which has been much corroded by time and disused, is ftbont to lie repaired and furnished with water. SPORMXINTG. The Duke of Norfolk has arrived at Arundel Castle, to shoot in his extensive preserves. Sir John Trollope, M.P., and Colonel Hall, of the Ist Life Guards, have returned to London from their grouse-shooting excursion in Westmoreland. COihIT-PALSRIONA23LE. The Earl of Minto has arrived at Farrance's Hotel from Scotland. Lord Fitzgerald, President of the Board of Control, arrived in town on Friday. Lord Brougham was expected to reach Brougham Hall on Saturday. His Lordship intends to remain two months longer in Cumberland. The Right non. W. Gladstone is staying on a visit to Sir Stephen Glynne, at his seat in Flintshire. NITSC2gIaiANEOUS. Grisi, Mario, and the Lablaches have gone to Dublin, where during the present Week they will give concerts and operas. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

Among the latter London and Westminster have found purchasers at 22i ; Union Bank of London, 98 ; National Provincial Bank of England at 351, and the new Shares, 101. In the former, Brightons have changed hands at a further advance upon the prices of Saturday, and are now marked 338 331; Great Western, 85 ; the New Shares, 60:1- ; Fifths, 7/ 8 ; Blackwall, 71; Bristol and Exeter, 451; Manchester and Birming ham, 24 ; and Midland Counties, 604. The Bonds in which time bat-gains have been made to-day are Spanish Five per Cents., 161; the Three per Cents. 21 211; and Portuguese ive per Cents., 35. Private letters from the manufacturing districts are of rather a more favourable nature. Several orders had been received for goods by the last mail from India, and, in consequence, business had im proved. The mills not being yet at full work, these had to be supplied from stock, and for which advanced rates were being obtained. They state also that, although the workmen have not returned to their labour, yet no appehension existed of any further disturbances ; that tl.e differences be tween them and the masters appeared to be about to be amicably adjusted very shortly.

This bankrupt was described AS a bill-broker and foreign merchant. The amount of debts and liabili ties were stated in his schedule f o be 27,8001., while the available assets at present amounted to 5,750/., and a further sum of 4,0001. was expected to be realised from a consignment to tit e West Indies, made by the bankrupt and a person na i ned Weston. This day being appointed for the final adjourned examination of the bankrupt arid . a proof of debts, a number of creditors were in at tt !ndance, and further claims for 8,7651. were establishes t. The body of the creditors not ( •ffering any opposi tion, and the bankrupt having rendered the usual ac counts, he was declared entitled to pass his final exa mination. POLICE INTEL LICENCE. -------- GU ILDHALL—(T7 t IIS DAY.) James Jackson, a mechanic: Al instrvment m a k er , I was placed at the bar, charged - with atten. pting to st ea l l icroperty of the Patent Mo a, gate -stre t . rt. a piece of broad cloth, the Woollen Cloth Company, The prisoner was seen to •put his. ha nd in at the window, which is about five feet fror n the . ground, and try to lift the piece of cloth in question 0. ef the shelf. He was therefore given into, custody. TE e prisoner was well known to the polio., having been tl iree times convicted of felony. `he p.o f e..iy was not removed, The MAGISTRATE said he could only commit the pri soner to the House of Correction for a month., BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) Two young men, the one a waterman and the other a labourer employed at the Iron Steam Boat Pier, were charged, the latter with resisting the police and the former with attempting to rescue the latter. Policeman F 82 stated, that in consequence of what he heard:' he went down to the Adelphi-stairs, when he tound two men who had fallen into the water and were drunk, sitting shivering on the side of a barge ; they were surrounded by a number of people, and witness thought it was wrong to allow tbem to remain there, and he wanted to take them on shore when the former prisoner told him not to inter fere, and said that the police were always poking their noses into places where they were not wanted. Wit ness was nearly shoved into the water, and in at tempting to take that prisoner into custody the other interfered and attempted a rescue. The prisoners said that they had just saved the two men in question from drowning; the labourer had held them up in the water for nearly five minutes, and whin the policeman came up they were both very much exhausted, and could scarcely breathe. He (the policeman) was excessively overbearing in his conduct, and knocked them about in a disgraceful manner. A gentleman named Russell here came forward for the purpose, as he said, of bearing testimony to the very improper conduct of the policeman. So lJng as the men were in the water the policeman did not come near, but directly the men at the bar rescued them from the water the policeman came bustling up to the place with much importance, and shoved every one about in a most disgraceful manner. He wished to shove every one away who bad been concerned in saving the men. Mr. HALL said the evidence of the policeman had not been at all disproved. He should fine them 10s. each, or in default commit them to the House of Cor rection for seven days. We suppose the poor fellows must go to prison. TRIAL OF THE RIOTERS. NORTHERN CIRCUIT—York, Sept. 2. Lord Denman and Mr. Justice Maule are energeti cally engaged in clearing the heavy " supplemental calendar." Every case is but an echo of the preced ing. The major portion of the prisoners were appre hended among the rioters. The unfortunate men are arraigned by the dozen or the score, and in but a few cases are there acquittals, where perhaps the evidence of identity seems questionable, or where witnesses are produced, to substantiate what is the commonly urged defence—viz., an accidental or involuntary en tanglement in the crowd. A batch of near twenty were tried at one time by Lord Denman this morn ing (some of them defended by Mr. Wilkins) for in timidating by tumultuous proceedings in Leeds. The evidence being clearly conclusive, Mr. WILKINs, on the part of his clients, said he re gretted he had not seen the depositions previously to the trial. Had he done so, he should certainly have advised them to retract the plea of " Not Guilty," for he had made up his mind all through these cases (in many of which he defended) never to advisedly aggra vate the offence of a prisoner by an unjustifiable alle gation of innocence. It was natural, looking at the crowds of unhappy men who were brought to the bar, to feel the deepest indignation against those who, for purposes of mere selfish vanity or for darker de signs of faction, had gone to the hovels of ignorance and poverty, and endeavoured, too successfully, to urge men on to acts of violence and lawlessness, the bitter fruits of which would be long lamented in many a family, and would be sorely felt through the whole country. Nor could too much anger be felt at con duct so cowardly and cruel, when it was pursued, as it had been (unless his information deceived him), by men occupying the station of Magistrates, who had dared thus to excite the people against the laws, simply because, in the bigotry of so-called " Libe ralism," the laws did not suit their notions. Lord DENMAN here interrupting, said—Mr. Wil kins, I hardly think that I ought to hear that said— that Magistrates have incited the people to insurrec tion ! Besides, this question is not relevant to the matter on inquiry. Witnesses were then called, who gate the prisoners good characters--one or two of them having been teachers in Sunday schools. During Mr. Wilkins's address most of the pri soners sobbed with grief, and seemed heartily sorry for their folly. • Lord DENMAN, in addressing the Jury, said it *as of the utmost importance that all men, especially those in the situation of the prisoners, should clearly understand, that by the law of England any man voluntarily lending—even if by presence only—his sanction and support to riotous and unlawful mobs, was guilty of a participation in the offences in which • they were involved. For it was the very numbers which gave force and invested with terror these illegal assemblies ; and each individual present, and silently aiding and abetting in their lawlessness, was as $ private in a large army of rioters carrying the terror and the violence of invasion into peaceably disposed districts of her Majesty's dominions. Still, however, on the part of the people of this country, he must assert the right of free discussion, and of peaceable statement of grievances. But there was a very wide difference between meeting for the purposes of peace able discussion, or of petitioning the Sovereign and the Parliament—there was a wide difference between this and assembling riotously, and to the terror of the peaceable subjects of her Majesty, and with the view of committing acts grossly illegal and tyrannical. Nor was it fair or just to trace to perfectly legal and constitu tional discussion all the unlawful acts which might thereafter be committed. Unfortunately, it was mat ter for astonishment and lamentation that, after all that had been done to enlighten and educate the peo ple, and, he would fearlessly add, to improve their condition and promote their comforts, there should be found in this country men, by the hundred and the thousand, ready to assemble together for the absurd, the insane, the suicidal purpose of throwing men in their own circumstances out of employment, and thus increasing terribly the distress which unhappily ex isted. The Judges would certainly endeavour to give full effect to every circumstance of palliation ; but the monstrous and unheard-of tyranny of preventing' men from working who were willingly engaged i n work, must be met with condemnation ; and it WO far from mitigation—it was aggravation—that men of education and of religious profession should have taken a share in these proceedings, which might have pro duced bloodshed. The prisoners were convicted. In the next case, about a dozen men were arraigned for attempting to stop works near Leeds, and the evi dence was similarly conclusive. Lord DENMAN, in summing up, said, in the present case two of the men had asked for money to depart and were it not th a t th e fi rmness o f t h e propr i etor 01 , the works had resisted the demand, they would no have been taking their trial, not for misdemeanour , but for felony of a most serious nature. The Jury convicted all but one, recommending several to mercy.—The sentences were deferred. Mr. S. Wortley and Mr. Baines, with Mr. Pollock/ prosecute. _ SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 3. A great many of the rioters, on being arraigned' pleaded Guilty. The delusion all the prisoners seemed to have la boured under was, that it they abstained from violence they could not be convicted—an error expressively exemplified in the language of many among thew •:vhen asked to plead to the indictments, that language very commonly being, " Guilty only of having been present." Their error was abundantly7corrected, the Learned Judge taking care to have it well under stood that any man voluntarily present with an un lawful assembly incurred the guilt in which they wer e , collectively involved, whether or n o t h e were prov en to have actively participated in the proceedings ; that what was done under dread of or by means of the terror inspired by a large mob, was the effect of cri minal violence, in which all persons present (unless involuntarily) were involved. The Judges went on rapidly clearing the calendar' though some 30 cases were added since it was printed , prisoners being arraigned in parties of from one or two to a dozen, and the evidence often occupying more than a few minutes, the short simple facts to he' deposed to being the presence and participation riotous proceedings when the stopping of works NO attempted. Mr. S. Wortley and Mr. Baines left to-day, ah 4 the prosecutions w ere th en carried on by Mr. H a ll , ' Mr. Granger (M.P.), Mr. Denman, &c. great satisfaction was universally expressed at the careful consideration and humane feeling which th e Learned Judges displayed throughout these tedious trials, every circumstance of palliation, or extenuation being attentively and kindly elicited. The conduct of the Counsel, too, employed fot• the prosecution, has called forth g enera l appro b elion, they having ' dis charged thei r d u t y w i t h as ranch forbearance as ability,. About half-past five o'clock, nearly simultaneous of in both Courts, the trisls terminated, and the Learnw Judges congratulated the Jurors on the close of pe r' haps the most arduous assizes ever known. The Sentences were to be delivered this mor fling (Monday.) POST-OFFICE NOTICE.—The following 'notice 1 10 ken put up at the General Post-office, St. !
