We have great ple=re in publishing the fol. lowing gratifying intelligence. All the prisoners c: , eopt one, have been restored. What will the p:•ophets say now, who foretold that AKBAR K HAN would murder every prisoner the moment the forces marched on Caubul?

T make my official report on this subject wl_liever they reach my camp, which will no dolibt be to-morrow. I sent a lightly equipped tbr..e, under Sir IL SALE, to meet teem; and the these truths must be steadfastly remembered, otherwise the hopes and expectations of an ex tended trade may paralyze the exertions of the League to get rid of the real cause of our diffi culties. An increase of trade with China will benefit both countries, but nothing can rescue the people of England from want and pauperism but a completely free trade in all the articles of human subsistence. The noble meeting at Manchester has inspired us, we must say, with renewed hopes that this object is not far off. As the perception of the manufacturers there, of the ruin which hereafter awaits them, grows clearer, their language be comes bolder, ands their contributions larmer. e, We have already adverted to their subscriptions. To notice their language, it was well said by Mr. B. GREG that "rent is not a necessary ingredient in the cultivation of the soil." That is , we do not need land owners to provide society with to means obtain of thatsu 1) prime s i s te n c end and e . . Theon classes required i object of all social institutions are the actual cultivators of the soil. The receivers or rent perform no part of the in dispensible,operation. If they will persist in in creasing their rent by a law, therefore, ruining trade and starving a portion of thepeople, they w ill so impress on the community a conviction that they are useless as landowners, and mischievous as law-makers, as by and by to compel it to cAst them aside and trample them down as a perfect nuisance. Unless they do justice, and allow the community to have as much food, and We publish this day some additional dispatches have it as cheap as possible, they may he assured d ' er l'ing the gallant conduct of the British that merchants, manufacturers, artisans, and la f"'Tes in Mfghanistan and China.

Orders received by 211 Booksellers. muster courage to demand a share in advantages to which their country contributed nothing. Two or three of the Opposition journals certainly claim an equal right with the English to the commer cial fruits of the victory,but that affair they must settle with the "Bright Eye," who will probably tell them that one "barbarian "is quite sufficient. The cheering news from China and Affghan istan, particularly from the former, is extremely well calculated to inspire our merchants and manufacturers with hopes of a new and a more extensive trade. We rejoice much with them at the prospects of future commercial prosperity which opening four new ports in China to our shipping, and opening a road into the countries beyond the Indus, hold out to our people. At the same time, we cannot admit that the two wars now so I►appily and so gloriously concluded, have had much, if any effect, in interrupting our trade, or causing our present commercial embar- rassment. With respect to China, Sir ROBERT PEEL at tempted to make {se of that argument last ses sion, but was driven from his position by Mr. Ins Tin, and obliged to acknowledge that he was in error. Our chief import from China is tea, a full supply of which we have always obtained, and we have always paid for it with our own produce. Canton has remained open to our ships during this singular war. Though we share, therefore, the cheering hope that the peace with China will much extend our trade, which GOD grant, we must remind our readers that the extension will be a new trade, not the revival of an old and in terrupted trade. As to the trade with Affghanistan, though the war there has interrupted the communication which that country had with India and with other neighbouring countries, in Alt trade the interests of our merchants and manufacturers was extremely small. The presence of our army in Affghanistan may lead hereafter to consider able traffic with that country, but the war there has been of the smallest conceivable influence in producing the present distress in Great Britain. It is of importance to remind the public of these circu mstances, because the writer of the City article in the Morning Chronicle, with a want of consideration which we should not have expected in a journal so devoted to Lord PALMERSTON, yesterday, after alluding to the peace with China; and the brilliant success of the British arms by the re-capture of Gliuznee and Caubul, said— " The tone of despondency which has been so long general as regards our trade and ma nufactures, has given way also to confidence, and all men engaged in business look forward to an early revival (7f commercial enterprise. The moral eact of the news will be great at home awl ,abroad; it will put new life into the hearts of our manufacturing capitalists and their workmen, While it will cause British influence and power to be re spected as they should be by all foreign nations." As might be expected, the evening organ of the Tories seizes on these words, and holds the passage up as admitting that the war, by " ob structing our trade, has had a most injurious effect on our manufacturing industry." It goes, in fact, to relieve the Corn-law from the blame of the national sufferings, and throws it on the war with China. The writer does not mean that, but his language implies, as the peace is to " revive commercial enterprise," that the war had inter rupted it. Such was not the fact, and the peace will, we hope, call a new trade into being, and ' extend the old, not revive an interrupted trade. We agree with Mr. R. GREG, that as this war did not cause our difficulties, putting an end to it will not relieve them. "To open the empire of China to our trade," he said at the great meeting on Tuesday, " would give no effectual relief, in conjunction with our present system of Corn laws." TUE SUN', LONDON, TITURSDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 24, 1842. • farmer who would stand between an altered Corn-law ' and the destitution of the people." If such are the sentiments of the landowners, Sir ROBERT PEEL will find no obstacle in com plying with the demands of the manufacturers, and in carrying new laws coincident with the principles of freedom and of justice. Before concluding, we would beg our Contem poraries, for their own interest, to look at some facts mentioned by Mr. R. GREG :—" The Athenwurn at, Manchester is likely to be sold up to pay the debts on it. The Zoological Gardens, that innocent source of amusement for the popu lation of the town, were broken up. At Bolton the public news-room was closed for want of sufficient funds to keep it open." Now these are places at which several newspapers were taken, and to shut them up is to cut off sub scribers to the journals. Newspapers are, to a certain extent, a luxury, and their sale is closely connected with the public prosperity. Journals of all political opinions must suffer by the closing of Athen=ms, News-rooms, and Literary Societies; and our Tory Contemporaries contend, with great disinterestedness, against their own interest in advocating a line of policy as to trade which cuts up by the roots the national prosperity. The melancholy termination of the Niger Ex pedition, the last wreck of which, the Wilber ' ftirce, has just returned to England, is a pointed • lesson to those well-meaning philanthrophists, who are guided more by impulse than knowledge. At the cost of 63,0001. to the people of England, previously pressed to the earth by taxation, that expedition left our shores upwards of two years ago to carry civilisation into Africa. It was to • ascend the Niger, plant a model farm, promote trade, and instil into the savages a love of peace, humanity, and order. Merchants, in the habit of trading to Africa, cautioned the philanthro phists that their project was impracticable and would only impede the civilisation which trade was promoting. They were ridiculed and vilified for their pains, and told, in good set terms, that they encouraged the de gradation of the Africans to gratify their own thirst of gold. The merchants, however, were right, the philanthropists wrong, and the costly expedition has sacrificed the lives of many of our countrymen without conferring the least benefit on the Africans. The model farm became the home of slavery, and the communication that was to carry only love and kindness, seems to have imparted moral, and received physical, conta gion. Never was there a greater failure, though probably no expedition ever originated in purer motives. To the self-conceit of philanthropy the lesson thuS taught is most humiliating. We wish it may generally be taken to heart by those who believe that a stroke of the pen, a grant by the House of Commons, or the united will of the'Legislature, can at once alter 'the course of events, and change the character of man. • A great public meeting of merchants, manu facturers, &c., was held on Tuesday, at the Town-hall, Manchester, on the subject of the Corn-laws, at which the best possible spirit was manifested, not by words only, but by deeds, for a sum of no less than 4,0001. was raised—it may almost be said, on the spur of the moment—for the purpose of furthering the patriotic efforts now making by the League, to obtain a total repeal df the Corn-laws. When men part with their money thus freely, it is proof "strong as holy writ" that their whole heart is in the cause to which they subscribe; mere declama tion is no voucher for their sincerity, since the most specious and eloquent speakers are often the most insincere; but when they once begin to draw their purse-strings, and substitute solid cash for sounding rhetoric, then there can be no posAbility of doubting their earnestness. Such is now the case with the great merchants and manufacturers in the commercial districts. From all quarters they are pouring in their contribu tions to the Anti-Corn-law League Fund, not by dozens or scores of pounds, but by hundreds; and this earnestness, backed by perseverance, is destined, ere any great length of time hips elapsed, to carry all before it. The League will as surely carry the repeal of the Corn-laws, as the Cutholic Association carried Emancipation, or the Birmingham Union the Reform Bill. Madrid papers of the 14th, with letters to the loth, have been received. All was tranquil in the capital. There appears no probability of the Cortes being dissolved, but it is not impossible that there may be some modification in the Cabi net. Neither the Barcelona journals, nor those of the south, throw any further light ,on affairs in that quarter. The Three per "Cents. were done at 21 15-16 k at sixty days, and the Fives at, 26. j for cash, and 263- at sixty days. The Paris papers, with the exception of those froM which we gave extracts yesterday, and La France, abstain from all comment on the im portant news from China. The latter journal contains the following lamentation on the sub ject :---" The English have made peace with China. They have obtained the commercial ports) which they were anxious for, as well as a large compensation for the sacrifices which the war has cost them. The star of England, so dimmed in India, rises quite radiant over China. This peace is a great event, and England will take good care to ex tract from it the natural CODSC. qucnces, for she never stops short. The East is in commotion, and fldls to pieces, in order to unite again under the powerful hand of Russia. England and Russia find new elements of force and greatness, whilst France holds more and more apart, and declines. What a melancholy spectacle ! What a • humiliation for a nation which, during two centuries, bad always been the pivot and the sun of Europe !" The Court of Assizes at Paris, have at last brought to a conclusion the trial cf the five offi cers employed in the Prefecture of the Seine, charged with fraud, corruption, and abstraction in the exercise of their functions. The Jury, which had been occupied for fourteen days in hearing evidence, acquitted SOLET and PIIILIDOR, and found MORIN guilty on one count only, in a fraud of 1,515 francs on the Government by means of Use papers, negativing eight other counts relative to _ the abstraction of plans; BOUFET guilty on eight counts out of sixteen, for corruption in office; HOURDEQUIN guilty on one count only, viz., that of attempting to extort a sum of twenty-five thousaud francs from the Baron nn CTRANDMAISON, to the prejudice of the City of Paris. The President sentenced Aloatx to three years' imprisonment; a n d a fi ne of 100 francs; BOUTET to three years' imprisonment; and HOURDEQUIN to four years' imprisonment and a fine of 100 francs; the costs of the trial to be defrayed by the three prisoners conjointly, each, however being held responsible for the others. All the prisoners were much affected on hearing their sentence, and they appeared to be suffering months)deepl which they had undergone previously to the long confinement (nearly nin e to their trial. HOURDEQUIN was in so weak a state during the trial, that lie was at times almost unable aitd%s,he t n o reply hi questions ti ons passed of he eiw as President, obliged n t ettilicee be led out of Court between two of the mu- nieipal guard in attendance. Before the Jury separated they signed a letter to the Prefect of the Seine, requesting, that as PHILIDOR had been proved to be innocent of the charges brought against him, he might be restored to the office which he had hcld previously to his being arrested.

There was no increase of activity in the English Yunds, nor did any alteration of moment occur in the quotations. The fluctuation in Consols during the Account, and taking the entire range, has been full 1,4 per cent. Consols for Money closed - 941 to 94i, and for the January Account, 958 to 1. The Unfunded Debt was still dull, but India Bonds advanced to 545. premium. In the Reduced Three per Cents., 5,0001. were invested for the Savings' Banks. East India Stock supported tha advance to 264 and 265 ; and Bank Stock seems to be again getting into favour, as the price is 1701 t o 172. N ew Th ree - an d -a- Half,per Cents. were not higher than 1011 to 1011; and the Reduced brought 1001 to 1008. - The Foreign Bonds were a shade worse this after noon. The Active Spanish closed at 171 to 18, and the Three per Cents. at 22 to 221. Belgian and Dutch Stock were at 102 for the former, and at 1061 for the latter. Mexican Stock left off at 32 for the Five per Cents, and the Deferred were 9 3 to 1. Brazil Bonds were rather higher, being 651 to 66. Portu guese New Five per Cents. receded upon one' or two sales, from 378 and 371 to 37a 4 ; and the Converted were down to 311 for time. A slight addition of activity took place this after noon in the Share -market, and firmer prices were realised.

Edinburgh and Glasgow New Shares were 'at par - . (From The Sun of Last Night.) The accounts from the Liverpool Cotton Market are more favourable. Yesterday the sales increased to 7,000 bales, and a large busineis SITS done, comprising 700 bales of Surat, and 1,400 of American on specu lation. Common to middling American qualities were per lb. higher ; 1,500 bales Surat sold at 3id. to 4d., and 1,100 bales Carthagena, 32d. to 4d.

The Times thus alludes to the recent encouraging news from India :—" Confident as .we ever were of the valour of our troops and the character of their leaders, Ave were not prepared for the flood of success of which the late arrival from India has brought us intelligence. Not only is peace restored with China on the most advantageous terms, but Ghuznee is de stroyed, and its Atighan Governor routed in the field by General Nott. Three hundred .and twenty-seven Sepoys and a large part of the English prisoners arc already rescued from the hands of the enemy. Akbar Khan, with 16,000 men, is utterly defeated at Tezeen (the scene of our own past disasters) by General Pol lock, and our two gallant commanders have met in quiet occupation of Caubul. For ourselves, we can only express our unfeigned thankfulness for the happy issue with which all our operations appear to be crowned, and our fervent prayers that by no cruelty, ambition, or avarice of our own, may we again merit or: incur that s i gna l pun i s h ment which so lately fell Upon. us during a similar heyday of good fortune. Nor is it less gratifying to find in this climax of our success, that we have -to acknowledge the .frank and cordial co-operation of those Indian allies from whom there has lately appeared reason- to apprehend a less satisfisctory feeling. " The admirable condUct" of the Sikh' army ap pears to have been warmly panegyrized by General Pollock in his report to the Government, and thus even the small and gathering Amid which appeared to threaten our peace has been replaced in this season of triumph by an omen of quiet and concord. We need ,hardly say how warmly we feel that debt of gratitude which the country owes to those whose courage and conduct have restored her to that com manding position which she appeared for a moment to have lost. It will be some time before the names of Pollock, Nott, and Sale, •are out of the mouths of Englishmen ; nor de we at all apprehend that they will have reason to complain that their merits or services are underrated. It will be observed that fuller details have arrived concerning the movements which led to the settlement of the Chinese war. It is impossible to view that contest with the same ex citing interest which attaches to the terrible realities of our Affghan warfare. A course of operations, conducted in comparative safety on a line of coast commanded exclusively by our own fleet, and de fended by droves of helpless and un warlike, though not spiritless, people, with the power to choose our time and place, to advance or recede, to treat or bombard, how, and when, and where it seemed most convenient to our own able Plenipotentiary, is indeed a different matter from a mountain warfare conducted in almost impassable defiles against the hardy and practised Affghans ; and we have found it so." The Chronicle says :—" If for a moment we recur to the discussions that have hitherto taken place upon the Chinese war, it is but to observe that the very surprise created by the unexpected intelligence of a peace brings before us in the strongest light the in justice of the only ground of complaint urged againgt those who were accused of having wantonly involved the country in these hostilities. The resolution of censure rejected in 1840 rested upon the allegation that Ministers had- by their omissions' cre a t e d the difficulties which then existed. It. was said they had neglected to send out sufficiently precise instructions for the guidance of the Commissioner. In vain was urged the impossibility ofcon trolling by minute instruc tions the conduct of our relations with a country more than 15,000 miles distant from us. To no pur pose was it pointed out that instructions sent from England to-day might, most probably would, be wholly inapplicable to the state of facts existing at the period of their arrival. How conclusively, - however, is the validity of this argument proved by the intel ligence which is just now creating so much gratifica tion through the country ! Twelve, eight, or six months ago, if the Minister of this country, listening only to the discouraging anticipations of the public writers who support him, or acting upon the views held by himself and his party befbre they became pos -sessed ofthe Government, had, sent out' definite instruc • tions' to Sir H. Pottinger, would they to-day be able to congratulate themselves upon the peace just concluded? Not less fortunate is the successful termination of military operations in central Asia. Fortunate,' we say, for it is to the accident of a retreat being impos sible at the moment it was ordered, that we are in debted for one of the most brilliant chapters that will be found in the military history of British India, and that we are spared one of the most disgraceful chapters that would be' found in the whole history of the Bri fish Empire. Caubul and Ghuznee have been taken ; the prisoners, at least a great portion of tham, have been recovered, and the reverse of the last campaign has been redressed, in spite of Lord Ellenborough's order to fly, before one human being was recovered, or a single wrong was avenged. We'have before us a private letter from a friend in India, whose authority is unquestionabl e , the writer of whi c h says —' Y on were right about Lord Ellenborough' s or d er t o with draw. Lord Ellenborough did order a retreat; he did grant a 'reprieve, upon the representation of • General Pollock, and it was only when commanded to do so by the Home Government, that he has tardily • allowed our troops to conquer Ghuznee and Caubul.' How much more reason, then, have we to be satisfied with the success of the operations in Affghanistan, when we reflect upon the disgrace and disaster from which we have so narrowly escaped." • The following is from the Herald :—" Success has brought peace in its train in China • let us h o p e th at tliese victories in Central A s i a will be followed by the like blessing there. The restoration of peace to Asia, Lord Ellenborough declares, is the first ob ject of his desire;' he has the means of restoration. in his own hands; he has retrieved and avenged all past disasters on every score on which they were sustained;' he has advanced the glory and esta blished the accustomed • superiority of the British arms;' he has avenged the Affghan violation of the laws of war, and he has convinced India of the ultimate invincibility of our power.; he can then— so soon as every prisoner is restored —evacuate Affghanistan without danger and without dishonour ; and, surrounded with the prestige of military success he can afford to be magnani mous , an d seek without reproach, within the Indus, those substantial glories which are denied even to successful warfare when the cause of hostilities is unjust. Lord Eilenhorough now occupies a 'vantage point, whence he can terminate a war with satisfaction to all moderate persons—whence he can disencumber himself of responsibility for the crime and guilt of its originators—whence he can throw his own policy into a most advantageous contrast to the madness of his predecessor—whence he can retrieve Indian financial difficulties, and whence he can restore prosperity to the empire he governs, and assist the welfare of the home dominion of his Sovereign."

WIGAN.—About dusk on the evening of Friday last, a very extr aor di nary an d lamentable accident befel Mr. Henry Latham, agent of the Wigan Sav ing; Bank, which has been attended with fatal conse quences. We understand that the unfortunate de ceased, having been engaged in some business which he usually transacted on a market day, had drank rather too freely, and had wandered through the gates (which are generally open) under the Commercial Hall, and traversed the long bottom room (probably 100 feet long) of the right wing of the buildings, at the top of which is a door way about three feet:from the ground floor. He had passed through this door-way, and thence fallen head long into a stream of hot-water, which flows down a passage about four feet wide, from Tennant's mill, in which he was found after a lapse, it is supposed, often minutes, in a state of utter insensibility. Although the hot water flowing at this particular place is never known to be more than three inches deep, the de ceased's legs and arms, and almost the whole of his body, w ere mos t dreadfully scalded ; showing that his body had obstructed the stream, and thereby the water accumulated and flowed over his person, his head only escaping. He expired on the following evening in great pain.—Manchester Guardian. DESTRUCTION OF A LARGE STEAMER BY FIRE.— Tl.e following has been received at Lloyd'sLloyd's:— "New Orleans. October 12.—The ship Hero, Capt. Ensor, master, which arrived here lyesterday,ast about f rom Havannah, reports that on Thursday , a one o'clock in the morning, they were surprised at observing the reflection of an extensive conflagration in the horizon.

Upon coming up to her, at about that — hour had large ship-111n d The be fire re very by sever t i io o n ' ques • , almost overboard, and she was rapidly burning to the water's edge. They cruised round the wreck for an hour or two, till she went 'down, which took place almost instantaneously. Upon first coming up, no person appeared on board, nor was any boat about. They,.however, saw a bark bearing away to the westward, which it was supposed must have received the crew and passengers. From the mark of an anchor, which was hanging at the cathead, and the appearance of several spars winch were overboard, they judged the unfortunate steamer to be English."

Giurt of Delegates will meet on Saturday next at Dublin to fix the time for giving judgment in the case.of the Deanery of St. Patrick's. . ..SUGDEN .v. BLA CK BUR,NE. . A considerable sensation was excited in the Hall Of the Courts on SatUrday, by the strong and uncourteous terms in which the Chancellor commented upon a de sion prenouneed by the Master of the Rolls in an ap peal from hiS Honour's judgment, brought before his Lordship. The case was briefly this :—The plaintiff '(Walsh) filed a possessory bill, praying for an injunc tion against the defendant (M`Kenna) and others, to restrain them from plying certain ferries on the River Liffey. The Ma.ster of the Rolls has- granted the ap plication for the injunction, with costs. In the progress of the discussion the Chancellor is reported to have used the following strong expressions : LORD CHANCELLOR—" You put in your bill a title upon which you never could sustain an injunction; nor can I collect anything from your bill which would authorise the Court to interfere in the way you re quire. It is the most naked bill I have seen ; I don't know that I ever saw such a pleading. You cannot (said his Lordship, addressing the counsel for the plain tiff) ask me to maintain your case and support this in junction in any thing y ou did not b r i ng f orward your self. Indeed, the case is presented to the Court in a most extraordinary manner. I must repeat that I cannot see how this injunction can be supported. If I were to allow this order to stand, the defendant would be without remedy."—Dublin E vening Mail. AN OTHER FIGHT IN OUR FIELDS At the petty sessions, on Monday last (before the Rev. J. S. Birley, and R. Heywood, Esq.), Samuel Cowburn, a middle-aged man, from Westhougton, was brought up, charged with poaching on a farm belonging. to William Hulton, Esq. Mr. Holden stated the case for the prosecution, and said that there were several other persons charged in the warrant, but they had absconded ; and the prisoner was the only one that the officers had been able to appre hend. James Scholfield, gamekeeper to Mr. Hul ton, said, on the ni g ht of. Friday, the 23d o f Sep tember, I, James Partington, and three others, were in a field occupied at Westhoughton, for the purpose of protecting the game. The four persons with me concealed themselves in a . slack, or hollow, about twelve o'clock at night; and I went down the field. The men had not been concealed more than ten minutes when I observed seven men approaching, armed with long and heavy bludgeons. The men proceeded towards the gate, where I had seen the marks of nets having been set, and hares taken, when *one of my assistants rose from the hollow, to look round. One of the poachers then called to the others, " Stop ; he's going for more men." The prisoner Cowburn was one of the seven. My assistants all got up ; and upon that the poachers went in the direction of the railroad; but I followed, and brought one of them back by the collar. On my return, the poacher s h a d commenced attacking our men with ieir bludgeons, and I heard them calling out " Strike, lay on !" Th ree of our party lay upon the ground, with their hads cut, and completely stunned. The poachers then ran off. On the following morn ing, I found a net in a hedge in the direction in which the poachers made their escape. The prisoner was asked if he had any questions to put to the witness; upon which he replied, " No; I know nothing at all about it." Two of the bludgeons were pro ducd, and were apparently young trees, re sembling huge walking sticks, having the roots rounded with a knife. The witness, in answer to a question from the Bench, said he had known both the prisoner and his dog for some time past.--The prisoner was fully committed for trial. He is a widower, with six children, by trade a weiWr, and has resided at Daisy Hillock, in Westhoughton, for a number of years. T A EAST, INDIA SHIPPING.
