Sun Office, 112, Strand. t77 . -w'c ), s , a - LONDON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1850 There are few of the popular representatives who could meet their constituents with better grace than Mr. W. J. Fox. Although we do not share his opinions on every question, we must do justice to his great ability and indis putable honesty. He has not had to apologise for any violated pledge. Every promise has been faithfully performed, so far as it lay within his power, and there are few popular representatives who could better abide the most stringent ordeals between their " sayings and doings," their pro fessions and practice. Mr. Fox could meet the electors of Oldham with an easy conscience, and therefore he did meet them. He could explain, as none but an actor therein could do, the grievous shortcomings of what he truly termed a "Session of Nonentities." He had travelled, it not " from Dan to Beersheba," from the open ing to the closing speech, and found "al , barren." For two years nothing beneficial to the People had been done, on account of tht war. List year, its termination was the ex cuse for inaction. " True as the needle to the pole" have been the Gyeernment to the laissez faire piney. They were intent on doin nothing, and both Houses were elaborately en gaged in helping them in the to k. Every one was waiting for soinebo ly else. As Mr. Fox graphically describes, " the House of Common: has been waiting for the people to agirat3 for re forms, and the people for the House of C.lnamon,, to originate them !" The Lords waiting for bills to be sent up, and the Commons for the re jection in the Upper House of the bills which they had sanctioned. The Church waiting for the re signation of bishops whose advanced years and impaired strength prevented them from discharging the duties incidental to their office. The bishop for the positive assurance of comfortable pensions for doing nothing. The circle has been complete. The faineant policy has triumphed ! and the com munity at large have had to deplore a wasted year I The Hon. Gentleman touched on many interesting questions, and dealt with all in a manly and straightforward manner, which was quite refreshing when contrasted with the twad dle which has been putforward byother legislators, both in and out of Parliament. Everything he alluded to bore the impress of integrity and inde pendence. He might have had a mirror in his breast, so clearly did he explain his internal con-' victions. His language was not given for the purpose of concealing his sentiments, but of placing them in the clearest point of view, so that any man of ordinary capacity might comprehend his intentions, and know the exact nature and ex tent of the efforts which, as one of the tax-paying community, he wasbound to render, in order that those of which he approved might be carried into prictical execution. , The first point to which lie referred was one that must excite the sympathy of the industrious middle classes, those who earn their daily bread by 'skilled labour, physical or intellectual, pro clueing sufficient to bring them within the limits of the impost. The unfair and oppressive ap portionment, by which all kinds of income, whether permanent and certain, or temporary and precarious, was so grievous an injustice that it might seem to be " fighting against shadows," to be proving anxious to enter into argument on the subject. But unfortunately it is an existing fadt, Parliament has sanctioned the anomaly, and many hard-working men, that with all their EMOTtiOLlii OEM scarcely continue to make both ends m o s A ro groaning under the intolerable and ;', i TIC E S LO ,„DON, FRID A v EV7 i SETTEM BIER 26 iniquitous burden. There is perhaps no grosser specimen of legalised robbery that could be ad duced than that which makes a man of advanced years—dependent on health, strength, and per- Inp3 fashion—contribute as highly in proportion to his gross receipts as the owner of Government 3 per Cent. Consolidated Annuities, or of well circumstanced chief rents. The one has many serious deductions to submit to, and is also bound to lay something by for a rainy day, when he may be out of employment, and also when his helpless wife and children will no longer have a husband and father to provide for their wants. Mr. Fox has clearly shown that even if a reasonable hope can be indulged in of its entire abolition at some future period, it would afford no grounds for delaying the equitable adjustment thereof. How much less, then, can any argument in favour of procras tination be advanced, when it i 3 manifest that no Financial Minister can or will consent to surrender so fertile a source of revenue, producing more than 16,000,000 1 . to the National Exchequer. We cannot enter into the various subjects re ferred to by the Honourable Gentleman in the course of his lucid address. He has most credit ably endeavoured to arouse the slumberers from the indolence in which they have heretofore in dulged. He has emphatically called on all who have the real interests of their country at heart to lose no further time in preparing for the ensuing Parliamentary campaign. In this he will have the sympathies, and, we trust, the co-operation of the public, and will, under any circumstances, have the approval of his own conscience, in the knowledge that he has well and faithfully discharged his duty to his con stituents, and to the country at large. We frequently have cases of police officious ness and now and then of cruelty, at ho me which pro voke our indignation ; but what should we think of such police and even judicial proceedings as are of every-day occurrence in Bengal ? It is remark able that in his remarkable minute on his Indian administration, Lord DA.Lsorrsiu, while narrating his military exploits and civil arrangements in every other part of India makes no mention of Bengal. The reason is obvious. It is the blot of the Indian Administration. Lord CANNING may find work enough here to immortalise his name if he will but resolutely and skilfully do it. We have all heard enough for endurance, but not too much to stimulate the requisite energy, of the Madras torturings by subordinates ; but Bengal cannot be far behind, and the impunity enjoyed by the police in their horrid practices is not sur passed in Austria itself. We regret to add that the revenue is too frequently the pretext, and will be while it is farmed out, as we may term it, to zernindars, or to European planters, who since 1833 have been permitted to purchase land in India, and who of course become, like the zemin dars, answerable for the assessment on the estate. The courts of justice also in Bengal are so dilatory in their processes that neither the poor ryat or hereditary tenant, nor the planter think of using them, if they can help it, to enforce the simplest contract, or to obtain redress for the most manifest wrong. They are se many Indian Chanceries, and that for criminal as well as civil cases. We have now before us communications from an intelligent gentleman of the highest re spectability, in which he proves, by documentary evidence, by the testimony of the court records themselves, and of persons in the best positions there for correct knowledge, that the planters, however humane, are driven to do justice in Lynch-law style by the utter corruption of the police, while the ryot has rarely the means to ofer them the requisite bribes. The Lieutenant governor of Bombay, as we learn from the Friend of India, has recorded in a minute that " the police are all thieves and robbers (uf necessity), or leagued with thieves and robbers, insomuch that vlien any one is robbed in a village it is probable that the first person suspected will be the village ,v ttchman." The Editor remarks that " the police ire found guilty before the courts of heinous trim en more frequently than other nen are of the most trivial offences ; and that the execution of justice depends, therefore, in India upon men whose first hope is to escape starvation, and their second, to .sc tpo the expiation of their crimes upon the gal lows." We have adverted to torture in Bengal. The facts are on legal record for the more part. If a theft. occurs the police care little about finding he criminal, that is too much trouble for them ; they frequently, there is reason to suspect, take a bribe of the criminal to fasten the charge on some me else. At the best it suits their indolence and te-uelty to torture S3lllO helpless individual to can Cession rather than to search laboriously for the ;silky party. We read of the most ingenious ednements in cruelty rivalling those detailed in The Hcuse of Lords by Lord ALBEMARLE. Beat ng-, of course renewed till confession is obtained, or perhaps till death relieves the victim, is quite common ; other devices are, literally burning the tlesh from off the bones ; tying the fingers and roes together, and then driving wedges between , hem to the full extent of the tension ; suspon ,ion by the arms, and even by the hair, to the arm of a tree ; beating in that position—starva tion, in one case to a fatal extent ; putting red pepper or chillies in the eyes ; in one instance he ligatures fastened on the toes were loosened, soaked in oil, and set fire to, and the man refus ing to confess he was kept in the guard-house till the members dropped off through gangrene. In fact, the single object of the police in case of a theft is to get some one to confess, and there is no likelihood of the giving up their practice when European eyes are not upon them, unless Magis trates refuse to receive confessions as evidence of guilt. Till this is done they will torture till the anguish of their victim compels him to prefer almost any penalty known to our code. In one instance, of many, the chief of police himself and his subordinates arrested a native on a charge of burglary. They bound him hand and foot in true Austrian style, and beat him ; the superintendent himself renewed the beating with his whip, on the back ; he would not confess— again he was beaten. Iu agony he pointed at some property belonging to the men he lived with as stolen, but his tormentors were not satisfied— he was beaten senseless. The superintendent had him then slung while bound hand and foot to a bamboo, and carried to a neighbouring cow shed, where the police had other victims ; but his tortures were over—when he arrived thither he was dead. This man had been skilfully beaten nevertheless, so as scarcely to show the bruises, by sharp raps on the joints, by pinching and poking, and by rolling two sticks fastened to gether down the leg and thigh ; after all it ap pears that this man was innocent ! In another case a man was not only beaten and rnaltre%ted, but his ,sister was seized, and threatened with violation or torture if she did not confess. In one instance, an Ecglish traveller, passing, has hi s attention arrested by horrid shrieks; he enters the building, and finds the police beating a victim, wh)se hands they had first bound with cloth, lest the marks should lead to detection, and then sus pended to a bamboo rafter. The traveller's inter. vention saved his life. In another case severa persons were convicted and punished, chiefly on their own confession, for burglariously entering the house of a missionary, and killing the native teacher. The magistrate's attention was called to the marks on their feet, but he paid no regard to it. Not long after, a gang of thieves were ar rested, who, it was proved, had committed the crime. The innocent men had been induced to confess the crime by insupportable tortures But there is maladministration in higher quar ters than the police. Recently, as we learn from the Friend of India, fourteen native Christians were attacked by the other natives on account of their change of faith ; their property was plun dered or destroyed, and they themselves detained, carried about in small parties, secreted, and ill used, for forty days. The evidence against their captors was clear enough, and they were sen tenced to six months' imprisonment. They ap pealed, and the judgment was reversed by the su perior magistrate of the Honourable East India Company's servants, named KEMP, and even the plundered property given to the captors 1 He believed, or professed to believe, the absurd in vention that the native Christians had destroyed their own property and secreted their own breth ren, without any motive whatever for such un natural acts. The legal documents, with the two judgments and the grounds of them, are, it seems, published in a pamphlet in India ; and it appears impossible that the case can be passed over. Eng land must let Austria see, by her acts, what she well knows—that atrocities and injustice of the kind we have described are not, like hers, ordered—not even tolerated for a moment when known by the superior power. LATEST N EWS. The Times (second edition) publishes the follow ing important news from its correspondent at Vienna, dated Sept. 22 :-- "The 20th article of the treaty of peace concluded at Paris in the month of March last can hardly fail to lead to a serious misunderstanding between the allied Powers and Russia, should the latter object to its being somewhat modified. The question at issue is one of great importance. When Austria pro• posed to her allies entirely to remove Russia from the Danube, it was agreed that the new frontier between Russia and Moldavia should be formed by a line, " which, beginning in the neighbourhood of Chotym, and following the line of mountains run niug towards the south-east, should terminate at Lake Salzyk." If the original idea had been carried out, Russia would have ceded two thirds of Bessarabia to Moldavia, but when the question of the rectification of the frontier was dis cussed at Paris, the Russian diplomatist spoke in such strong terms of the unnecessary humiliation to which their country would be subjected, should such a large cession of territory be made, that the representatives of the allies eventually agreed to the following conditions : The now frontier shall begin at the Black Sea, at one kilometre to the east of the lake Bourna Soula, shall in a straight line join the road to Ac kerman, shall follow that road as far as the valley of Trajan, shall pass to the south of Bolgrad, shall ascend the river Yalpuck as far as the heights of Saratsika, and shall end at Kotamori, on the Pruth.' " According to the Russian maps produced at the Paris Conference, there was terra firma between Bolgrad and the Lake of Yalpuck, but in reality such is not the case. The English, French, and Austrian members of the Frontier Commission de clare that the object of the Allied Powers will not be attained unless Bolgrad is given to Moldavia, but the Russian Government has suddenly disco vered that the place in question, which, according to all accounts is a miserable nest, is of great strategic importance, and refuses to cede it. As has been said, it was and is the object of the allies entirely to remove Russia from the Danube, but if Article 20 of the Treaty is carried out to the letter they will not attain it, as Bolgrad lies on the Lake of Yalpuck, which is connected with the Kilia arm of the Danube by means of the Lake of Kagurlin and the Repida river. It may be remarked that the Repida river falls into the Danube close to the important fortress of Ismail. A very active diplomatic correspondence is now going on respecting Bolgrad, and the Russians may probably be induced to cede it, if France does her duty towards her allies. The British and Austrian Governments are said to be extremely indignant at the bad faith of Russia, who previously to the sig nature of the treaty of peace must have been as well aware as she is now that no line of demar cation can be drawn between Bolgrad and the Lake of Yalpuok." TIENNA, THURSDAY. Sardinia takes part in the expedition to Naples for the protection of Sardinian residents and their property there. COPENHAGEN, ThURSDAY. The Ling has not yet accepted the resignation of the Minister of Finance. A Ministerial Council was held to-day, at which very angry discussions took pis/oe. The administration is in a state of dissolution. The Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort gives the following details respecting the second note sent by the Western Powers to the King of Na ples. In this note France and England ex press their desire to come to an honourable un derstanding with the King of Naples. They admit that under the present circumstances the King cannot grant a general amnesty, and there fore only request the King to grant a pardon to those political prisoners who may apply for it and make their submission in proper form. But this they particularly insist on, and therefore give their note the form of an ultimatum, which allows the King of Naples a fortnight's time to consider, after which the Western Powers will resort to the measures they think advisable. The Cologne Gazette, in a letter from Vienna of the 21st, states that the great powers only agree on one point with respect to the Montenegro ques tion, viz., that the frontiers of the principality ara to remain as they aro ; but that in other respects their opinions differ widely, Russia wanting Monte negro to be independent, Austria declaring for the status quo, France and England advocating a con stitution for the principality like that of Servia, and Turkey claiming a supremacy over it. THE IttONEtARi LAWS OF INDIA: --~--~ The present state of the silver question and the excitement and alarrtt it i 8 produeni on the conti nent have caused attention again id as ditectld to the bearing of the monetary laws of India. Up id 1835 gold was a legal tender in that country, but a measure was then passed for an exclusively silver standard. In 1841, however, the local Govern ment, finding that gold was apparently becoming scarce and increasing In - Valde throughout the world, authorised their collecting officers to re ceive it whenever it might be offered. This state of things quietly continued for several years, the practical result being just the same as that of a double standard such as exists in France. But the gold discoveries in Australia immediately produced an extraordinary disturbance. Considerable remit tances soon arrived in India from that country, and it was, of course, found that as the value of this metal began to depreciate in relation to silver the population availed themselves of the privilege of making their payments in it, and that it would thus rapidly displace silver in the various treasuries. Prompt measures were therefore necessary. If the new movement had been allowed to go on the Go vernment would have been in the predicament of having to make all their payments in silver, since, silver being the only absolute legal tender, every one could demand it from them, while all their revenue receipts would be in gold, and they would thus not only have been placed in an inextricable difficulty, but would have sustained all the loss from the relative difference daily extending between the value of the two metals. Hence the only ques tion was whether they should bring silver again into exclusive circulation by rescinding the autho rity granted to their officers in 1841 to receive gold, or at once substitute a gold for a silver standard in harmony with the English practice, and establish a debased silver coinage merely as tokens and for convenience. The former was the course adopted. The Indian Government, taken by surprise at the threatened revolution in all their financial relations, and apparently apprehensive that they were about to suffer in some indescribable way from gold being poured into the country without limit, resolved to demonetise that metal. Accordingly in December, 1852, a notification appeared that from the Ist of January, 1853, no gold mohurs would be received in the public treasuries. On the arrival of this news in England the injudicious features of the mea sure were forthwith pointed out. It was seen that it would tend to check the trade rapidly opening up between India and Australia, that it would in orease and complicate the disturbances about to re sult from the gold discoveries, and that it must also be highly impolitic for a Government with a pub lic debt of about 45,000,0001. sterling and heavy liabilities to a multitude of annuitants to shut themselves out from the advantages which the new order of things was about to present to all who were labouring under fixed obligations. It was true that the argument against any fixed change in the standard required to be taken into account, since when debts have been contracted to be paid in one description of currency no Government can have a right to alter the terms by decreeing that they shall be paid in another ; but at that time, al though silver was nominally the standard, gold and silver had both been virtually recognised as currency for many years, and the selection of either one or the other as the exclusive standard for the future could have been made without ob jection. These views, however, did not prevail. The India and China Association of London enter ed into correspondence with the India House on the subject, but the East India directors restricted themselves to a _general intimation that it should receive their watchful attention. The new order by which gold was effectually put out of circulation went into operation, and has prevailed ever since. The result has been exactly such as was antici pated. In return for the large balance of her ex ports over her imports India will receive only sil ver, and, unless preventive measures are adopted, she may thus perhaps in the course of years drain Europe of that metal. As far as she is concerned, the only evils produced are those originally pre dicted—namely, the obstructing her trade with Australia, and the large relative augmentation that will be created in the burden of her public debt. She also has to pay a more than relative dispropor tion of price for the silver she receives, owing to the expenses of suddenly collecting and shipping it in large quantities ; but this is perhaps made up by the gradual increase in value of that which she has already obtained. Neither to England is the point one of vital importance. France and the other countries of continental Europe are chiefly concerned, and the question is how long they will persevere in the palliatives of raising their rates of discount or of buying specie at a loss before recog nising the measure to which they must come at last, and which was wisely adopted by the United States almost at the outset of the movement.—Times City Article. tion to the Queen until he should have spoken with her, 1 she proposed shortly doing. " Accordingly, at fl on the evening of the 13th, Es parfefd r'flirt to . the Queen, related to her all that had passed, and entreettad her, in his own name and that of his colleagues, not to adOpt the; resignation either of ( f.f?Jnnell or of Escosura, eft the same time, the reaeoile !+et existed for preserving the cabinet as it wag. He added ti;:tt hf should inform O'Donnell he had seen the Queen, in order fleet be might in his turn seek en audience, and act as he thought fit. The Queen re plied that she would hold a council that night, And de sired that aft ± - ,7e Ministers should attend, ins lectibee O'Donnell and Eicafjvra, and she fixed 1 o'clock in the morning fts the hour of Meeting, Espartero had his col• leavice, welrhed, and they were all in attendance at the prescribed hotii. The Queen then announced to them that she had accepted Becostera's resignation and refused that of O'Donnell. Espartetti and the other Ministers agein entreated her to refuse both, but she insisted that Escosura, and he alone, should quit the Cabinet. There upon, Espartero and his colleagues, seeing thd t the Queen preferred the advice and opinion of O'Donnell ta theirs, gave in their resignations and retired. eldter Espartero had left the room, he went back again and reneWed his entreaty to the Queen that she would retain both Escosura and O'Donnell, which would have prevented the break up of the Government. The Queen, how ever, was to he moved by no arguments, and O'Don nell, whom Espartero also urged to a conciliatory course, remained obstinate. " I repeat my request to General O'Donnell," said Espartero, "and if he persists in his resolution, the evils that may result to our country, and the blood that may be shed, will be upon his head ; fur he alone it is who has brought about this conflict." The Queen several times asked Espartero to remain at his post, bnt still with the condition that Escosura should go, and Espartero naturally refused to retain office on such terms, since it was evident that, if he did e although he would still be nominally the President of the Council, the real power and the confidence of the Queen would be vested in O'Donnell. His only choice was to retire at once, as he did, into private life, and leave events to take their course, or to put himself in open opposition to the Queen. The latter course would not only have been inconsistent with his whole previous career, but it would have served only to involve him in the defeat and disgrace of the National Guard. With the army he had little influence or popularity, for O'Donnell and the lricalva rists had been carried to pack it with their own adhe rents, in anticipation of the reaction they had long pre pared and at last brought about. Compelled, by the revolution, to combine with the Liberals and adopt their policy, the little knot of Generals had never ceased treacherously to work against that party, and those prin. cirnes which had saved them from destruction in 1854, only to be destroyed by them in 1856."

The meeting of the ironmasters of South Stafford,hire and East Worcester, preliminary to the quarterly assem• blages of the trade in the ensuing month, was held at the hotel to-day ; Mr. P. Williams presided. Considerable interest was attached to the proceedings, and with few exceptions all the principal firms of the district were re presented. - The question of future prices in the first instance occupied the attention of the meeting, but was speedily settled. It was moved by Mr. Barrows, of the Bloom field Works, and seconded by Mr. Bought, that the rates of the last quarter be adopted as " the trade" prices of the future. The general opinion appeared to be, from the few observations which occurred, that the prices of raw materials and the wages paid to work people fully sanctioned such a course. It was stated, however, that some description of Iths bad been offered in the Liverpool market so low as at el. per ton, but, as might be expected, from its wretched quality, had been returned upon the hands of the makers, the Cl. per ton being really more than its worth. Such is, notwithstanding, the system of underselling pur sued by needy masters, and the inferior quality of cinder-pigs used in the manufacture, that tke reputation of Staffordshire iron is greatly damaged, and the interests of fair traders seriously injured. Against this system the first houses of the district pro test, and to-day resolved to exact at the rate of 9/. per t m for best bars, and for other descriptions of iron in proportion. The scale thus agreed upon was adopted ur.animously, and there is little doubt that it will be maintained with firmness during the ensuing quarterly meetings. At the conclusion of the ordinary business of the meeting relating to the settlement of prices, Mr. W. Mathews, of Corbyn's-hall Works, introduced the sub ject of Mr. Cod's claim to a testimonial from the trade, in acknowledgment of his father's eminent discoveries and inventions. All present acknowledged the services of the late Mr. Cort, and appeared disposed to benefit the son ; but it was thought by some that the benefits conferred, and for which an acknowledgment was sought, were conferred upon the public generally rather I than upon the ironmasters of the country in particular. But although this feeling operated in some degree, the proposed testimonial or subscription was generally en tertained, and there is little doubt that a considerable rum will be raised in aid of the proposed fund. No for mal resolution was passed upon the subject, it being thought better to leave the result to the spontaneous inclinations of individuals rather than dictate the course which the members of the trade as a body ought to adopt in a matter, as it was considered, of a purely personal nature. As a matter of course, when the leading members of the iron trade were assembled at their first quarterly meeting, since the announcement of Mr. Bessemer's in vention, its merits became the subject of conversation, an , l, it may be added, of adverse criticism. In this ❑eighbourhood, if a judgment is to be formed from the testimony of scientific and experienced masters, Mr. Bes sewer's theory is practically a failure. Such were the opinims expressed to-day. THE EX-QUEEN OF THE FRENCH.—The ex-Queen of the Fr.neh, Queen Marie Amalie, accompanied by their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of NetnouN, the Count d'Lee, Doke d'Aleneon, and the Princess Marguerite and suite, will visit Oxford on Sunday next —apartments having been secured for the distinguished party at the Angel Hotel. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—The marriage of Lord Raglan, only surviving son of the lamented Field-Mar shal Lori Raglan, and Lady Georgiana Lygon, daugh ter of General the Earl Beauchamp, was solemnised yesterday morning, at St. Paul's Church, Knightsbridge. Prince Napoleon is expected to arrive at Havre to nards the end of the present month from his excursion to the Northern Oce an . _ _ M.

GREAT WESTERN OF CANADA.—lriformattou ham been received by telegraph from Montreal, that at the meet ing of the shareholders of this company held at Hamilton, Canada West, on 11th instant, the directors married by the shareholders in this country were duly elect, d, and a dividend declared of 4 per cent, for the half-year. THR UNITED STATES AND THE TREATY OF PARIS.-- A report has reached Paris yesterday that the United State; have it in contemplaikon to form an alliance with those European Powers, not parties to the treaty of Parts, who may be disposed to adopt the additional ar title respecting the immunity of merchant vessels and merchandise from capture even by men of war. THE 100-GUN SUBSCRIPTION.—In-tractions have been sent by the French G,)vernment to prefects of depart ments, in case the subscriptions for the guns of Alle,- sandria, already opened in Paris by M. Mania, should he extended to provincial towns, not to interfere with it so long as it is carried on privately ; but if application be made to them fcr permission they are not authorised to grant it. THE NAVIGATION OP THE NlLE.—Messrs. Chas. Mit• ehell and Co., the extensive iron shipbuilders at Walker on-the-Tyne, are building five paddlewheel iron steamers of a peou:iar construction and of light draught of water. They are a p )rtion of a large fleet of iron tugs that are building in this country for the Egyptian Steam Towing Company—a company that had recently very liberal concessions made to it by the Viceroy of Egypt. Those steamers will be employed towing long trains of lighters down the Nile laden with corn and other produce for export at Alexandria, and they are another instance of the rapid application of iron steamers to purposes of navigation upon many of the large rivers in the world. WHIRLWIND AT GLASTONBURY.—A. tornado or whirl wind passed over this town on Monday last. About 2 o'clock p.m. a terrible commotion in the air gave notice of its approach, and in an instant it swept across the lower end of the town, in a direction almost due east, stripping thousands of tiles from the houses, carrying ~ ff the roofs of several buildings, and uprooting or tear. ing limb from limb the trees sta❑ding in its course. In an orchard behind St John's Church 24 large apple trees were completely destroyed, and further on several hun dreds of apple and other trees shared the same fate. A party of giants bent on mischief could not have produced a scene of greater devastation. Northload-street was covered with fallen tiles and chimneys, and the stables of the George Hotel suffered severely. It moved with a,stoni,hing rapidity, producing a noise like a railway train; but the breadth of its destructive infloence, could not have exceeded 100 yards. A SADLEIR MYSTERY.—A correspondent, upon whose high character we place the utmost reliance, inquires what became of the body alleged to be that of John Sadleir, which was shipped in the month of February last, in one of the City of Dublin Company's steamers, and landed at the Custom house ? It was deposited in a shell, rezularly booked and docketed ; but since that period no one living can tell, except the parties con cerned, V* hat became of it, or where it was interred, as oar correspondent affirms it was never heard of in Ttiurles, Tipperary, or Clonmel where inquiries took place subsequently on the subject, with a view to ascer tain the place of burial. That the body found'at Hamp stead-heath, and interred in a neighbouring cemetery, was raised and sent to Ireland is a fact placed beyond doubt ; but from the moment of its arrival at the Cus tom-house quay all further knowledge of it terminates. Here is another Sadleir mystery ; who will unravel it ? It is an important question in elucidation of the eventful history of John Sadleir,--Carlow Sentinel. FRANCE. PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING. A Council of Ministers was held yesterday at the residence of the Minister of Justice. The Moniteur publishes decrees containing a number of promotions and appointments in the judicial ranks both in France and in Algeria. Rear-Admiral Lavaud has been named second in command of the squadron of evolutions ; Rear- Admiral Jehenne, maritime prefect at Lorient, vice Admiral Lavaud • and Rear-Admiral Bonard, Major-General of the Marines at Brest, vice Admiral Jehenne. "It is rumoured," says the Debats, "that Baron de Hubner is expected at Marseilles from Naples, on his way to Biarritz, to wait on the Emperor." " Until lately," says the Assembl6e .Nationale, " there was no instance of the Sultan's wearing foreign decorations. France was the first who got this practice to be broken through, by induc ing the reigning Sultan to accept the Grand Cor don of the Legion of Honour. The other powers are about to follow the example of France ; and it was said at Constantinople that on the very day that Baron de Koller presented to the Sultan the insignia of the Austrian order of St. Stephen, Lord de Redcliffe had requested his Majesty to accept those of the Order of the Garter."

Since his elevation to the episcopal bench be has regularly done duty and preached in his parish church, wearing, however, his episcopal robes. A. gentleman, who has attended ser vice in the bishop's church, says that Mrs. Baring, or one of her daughters, leads the parish choir with the seraphine, which they play with great taste and address. —Bath Chronicle. Ttie Rev. 11. L. Cousins, the curate of St. Augu•tine'9, Bristol, has been presented to the incumbency of Kings wood, Gloucestersbire. The Glasgow Times states that two sisters of Sir Wm. Maxwell, of Monteith, Wigtonshire—Viz , Cherlotte and Georgina—have been received into the Catholic Church in Palermo. EXECUTION AT ROUEN.—The murderer Crochu was executed at 9 o'clock on Monday morning at Rouen. A rumour of the intended execution was current the preview,' evening, and from an early hour in the morn ing every street leading to the place from whence a sight of the scaffold could be obtained was densely crowded ; even the roofs of the houses were covered. Crochu, on being informed in the morning of his approaching fate, received the intelligence with the greatest composure, saying that he was prepared t , r the news in consequence of the bustle he had heard in the prison during the night. He refused to hear mass, saying that he could not do so with proper attention, and bagged to be allowed to pray alone. This was refused, :eating that he might be contemplating suicide, and he then knelt down and prayed in the presence of the chap lain an the persons who bad come to perform the cere mony of the last toilette. On leaving the prison he e nnraced the sister of charity, and thanked her for the kindness which she had shown to him during his confine ment./ To the very last be refused to make any dis closure. On reaching the scaffold he appeared weak, and was assisted up th e s t eps by the executioner and the chaplain, but he still retained his firmness to the last. Before being bound to the plank he kissed the chaplain on both cheeks, said a short prayer, and im mediately after all was over. ESPARTERO'S FALL FROM POWER. An eye-witness, whose veracity is unimpeach able, thus relates Espartero's fall from power, and O'Donnell's a - isumption of the reins of Govern ment. Although the lapse of time has diminished the interest of the affair, the many representations that have been male of it, and the strict authenticity and curious " minuteness of the details induce us to publish the follow ing, as it places it beyond a doubt that the expulsion of the Liberal party from power was the result of a plan concerted between the Queen and Marshall O'Donnell. In this conspiracy the part assigned to the latter was to pick a quarelle d' Alleraand, a sort of wolf and-lamb quarrel, with his colleagues, and that of the Queen was to support him through thick and thin, and to accept anybody and everybody's resignation except his. On the 11th of July the usual Friday's Council of Ministers was held at the residence of its President, and commenced by the reading and approval of a project of decree relative to the importation of corn, presented by the Mbuster of Public Works. After this, the Minister of the interior, Escosura, read a rough copy of another project of decree concerning the press, but, before it could be discussed, Gen. O'Donnell addressed the Coun cil, and declared it necessary that the Goveramentehould publish a programme, indicating to the country the eye. tem of government it proposal to follow. Espartero and the other Ministers pointed out to him that such a pro gramme was never furnished, except to the Queen on the formation of a Cabinet. They consequently opposed the proposition of O'Donnell, who insisted on it, and, among other things, on the necessity of re-organising the National Guard, expelling from its ranks persons unde serving of confidence. His colleagues pointed out the inconvenience and illegality of such a measure, which attacked the Constitution itself and the law passed by the Cortes, by which it was ordained that persons who showed themselves unworthy of belonging to the Nationa Guard were to be judged by councils of discipline, and that if the National Guard as a body, or any part of it, failed in its duty, the Government had a right to proceed to its dissolution and reorganisation, as had been done at Se ville, Malaga, Valencia, Barcelona, and various other places. Unable to refute these arguments, O'Donnell shifted his batteries, and declared himself gravely offend ed at Escosura's having presented to the Council a writ ten project of law, without having previously verbally communicated it. Escosara replied that such had always been his practice ; the other Ministers declared that it had also been theirs; and Espartero cited, as an instance, the project just presented by the Minister of Public Works, written in the same form as that of Escosura, and to which none had objected, seeing that it was in confor mity with the custom of all the Ministers, including the Minister of War himself. Thus baffled, O'Donnell de sisted from such trivial pretexts for discord, and started upon another tack. " Well, gentlemen," he said, "my policy differs widely from that of the Minister of the Interior," and he proceeded to speak of the bad choice made of Civil Governors of provinces, adding that Es cosura had filled up posts in his branch of the adminis tration even with democrats. To this charge Escosura made the triumphant reply that whether the Civil Gover nors were good or bad was no fault of his, since with extremely few exceptions they had all been proposed by his predecessors and approved by the Council of Minis tern. O'Donnell closed the discussion with these words: " Well, gentlemen, it is impossible that Senor Escosura and I should remain in the same Cabinet. Let Senor Escosura leave it or I resign." Escosura replied that, while feeling, as must also his colleagues, how unreason able General O'Donnell was, he was also conscious of his own small importance, and how desirable it was that the Minister of War should not quit the Cabinet, and accordingly he tendered his resignation. Espar tero and the other Ministers opposed this, declar ing that neither Escosura nor O'Donnell should re tire, and that it was th e d u ty o f th e Mi n i s t r y t o re main united and hold together until the Cortes had, completed their mission, and the country was consti tuted. O'Donnell, however, insisted on resigning, and said he would give in his resignation to the Queen her self. Escosura handed his to the President of the Coun cil to be tran sm itt e d to t h e Q ueen. E spartero opposed theimmediate Creaking up of the Council, and the pro ject of taw concerning the press was discussed, O'Don nell proposing amendments, which were admitted. The Ministers then separated until noon on the following d , y, when they re-assembled and signed the above named project of law, but O'Donnell sent word that he was ill in bed and could not come. The Ministers of Finance and Public Works, and afterwards Espartero, went to see him, and all left him with the impression that he desisted from his intention of resigning, when sud denly.he presented himself in the Council Room and re n!itved his previous pretensions. All trio arguments of his colleagues were fruitless to turn him from his pur pose, and he and Escosura left the Council. The other Ministers remained together and agreed to ad vise the Queen to accept neither resignation, on the ground that the Cabinet ought to undergo no change until the Cortes had completed their task, now draw ing to a close, and in this opinion they were confirmed by General Infante and Senor Portilla, President and First Vice-President of the Chamber, whom they sent for to consult, and who afterwards went to O'Donnell to urge him to remain in office. He Mill refused, and Es partero then requested him not to give in his resigna• NAVIGATION EXTRAORDINARY. Mr. W.

The present week's arrivals of English wheat , up to our market, coastwise, and by land carriage, have been very moderate, and the show of samples here to-day was small. For most kinds, however, the demand was in a sluggish state, at Monday's prices. The imports of foreign wheat are 13, WO quarters. Sales of all kinds progressed slowly, yet we have very little change to notice in the quotations. A large quantity of foreign barley was on offer, and th© b a iley trade ruled dull, at barely Monday's decline in valuct. The business doing in malt was limited, yet we have no actual change to notice in prices. Good sound oats were rather dearer, and other qualities ruled steady. Beans, peas, and flour act on Monday.

James Baines and Co.'s "Black Ball" line of packets left Liverpool for Wellington, for New Zealand on Wednes day afternoon. with 300 passengers on board, and a full cargo. As previously announced in The Sun, she is the pioneer vessel of a new monthly line which her en terprising owners inaugurated by a banquet on board the Great Tasmania last week. She is the largest vessel ever dispatched from any port to New Zealand ; and the fact that she is filled with passengers and cargo augurs well for the success of this new line. The next vessel will be the Indian Queen, which is advertised to sail the latter end of October. FRIGHTFUL MURDER —The province of Oran has just ' been the scene of a dreadful crime. As Si Mohammed Ben Abd Allah, Agha of Hemeen, was proceeding from Oran to that place, in the coupe of the diligence, the vehicle was stopped and surrounded by a baud of 15 Arabs on horseback, supposed to belong to the tribe of the Beni Snous, and a number of others on foot. All who could come within reach discharged their muskets at the Agba, who fell covered with wounds. His inter preter, who was with him in the coupe, was also killed. One of the other passengers in the other part of the car riage was struck by one of the balls, and died on the following day. The murderers escaped by the frontier of Morocco, which is not far distant. An old private quarrel is supposed to be the cause of the crime.
