While Government are busily engaged during the recess—as they have led us to suppose they will be— preparing a scheme of education for the Irish, we trust that they will not omit to take into their considera tion the glaring deficiencies in this respect of the lower classes of the English, both in the manufac turing and in the agricultural districts. That they failed last year in their proposed plan of instruction is no reason why they should not persevere, especially as their failure will have the effect of acting as a useful warning, by showing them wherein their plan was defective, and furnishing them with hints and sug gestions for amending it. The education of the masses is not one of those questions that can afford to wait the leisure of Parliament and the convenience of Ministers. It is pressing—imperative—and the longer it is delayed, and the more it is trifled with, the greater will be the difficulty of bringing it to a satisfactory adjustment. At least one-half of the agrarian outrages that are of such continual occur rence in the south and west of Ireland, may be traced to the deplorable ignorance of the peasantry ' • and who can doubt that th e m i dnight vagaries of Swing have the same origin ? By accounts that appeared a short while since in The Sun, it seems that the ma jority of those recently convicted of incendiarism had received scarcely any education at all ; while of twenty who were convicted of various offences at the quarter sessions in one of the Wilts districts, upwards of fifteen could neither read nor write ! What a com ment is this on the supineness and want of foresight of Government, which legislates with restless officious ness for a variety of petty, partial grievances, while it leaves the great grievance of all nearly, if not wholly, unredressed I We hear much in Parliament of the commercial difficulties of the people, who are some times patted on the back for their forbearance, and at other times taunted with their sullen Chartist heresies; but seldom is their benighted ignorance alluded to in a spirit worthy of the occasion, or any indication manifested of the earnest wish on the part of Parlia ment, boldly to grapple with the subject. Whigs and Tories seem equally to shrink from the task, as though it were surrounded with difficulties beyond their powerc to overcom e . W e are not aware t h at any edu ac al me asures on a comprehensive scale were pro- J ected during the ‘en years of Whig supremacy; and sure we are that our present Tory rulers—not withstanding that year by year the evil has been ac quiring fresh strength—have as yet turned their attention but slightly and indolently to the great busi ness of education. Well, the evil, we trust, is now about to be remedied ; and for the best of all possible reasons—namely, that it can no longer be staved off with impunity. It is good that the people should be provided with the means of subsistence; that the burdens which press so heavily on them should be lightened ; that ample work should be found for them, by liberating trade and commerce from the fetters in which they are at present bound ;—all this, we say, is good, and worthy the most serious -atten tion of the Legislature; but better still is it that the people should be rationally instructed, for by these means —and these only—the ground-work is laid for their advancement in life; principles of common sense, justice, and morality are instilled into them, which in due course will have all the force of a second nature ; and the best of all guarantees is given for real, lasting, national tranquillity. The energies of an uneducated people are never to bo relied on, for in seasons of distress and difficulty, they are far more likely to take a wrong than a right direction. That such is almost invariably the fact, we saw in the ser- , vile insurrection under the leadership of FitosT and other Chartist agitators ; and, still more recently, in the extensive outbreak in the manufacturing districts, which at one time threatened to involve the whole north of England in anarchy. The strikes of work men, too, which are so frequently occurring in the colliery and mining districts, where education is no toriously at a lower ebb than elsewhere, may be all traced to the same source—the besotted ignorance of those who take part in them, and who, as a necessary consequence, adopt the very means which are the most certain to increase their distress. Surely, with these facts staring them in the face, Ministers will be greatly to blame if they hesitate any longer to put their shoulder to the wheel, and grapple with the momentous question of education, in a prompt—con ciliatory—comprehensive and energetic spirit ! The Morning Herald declares that it notices, once more, "with no unfriendly spirit, a charge" which it distinctly stated, a month ago, against Lord MEL BOURNE and his Cabinet—namely, " that his Lordship and his Whig colleagues were in the habit of opening Mr. O'CONNELL'S letters in the Post-office." This charge our Contemporary "regrets to say" rests on such authority as it cannot hastily reject ;" for " the confession was made by Lord MELnoustsiE himself in the most august presence in the country, and in the presence of too many witnesses of inferior, though still of exalted, rank, to be retracted." And it is very delightful to find the Herald discoursing thus em,. phatically on the monstrous practice it now repudiates; .... we are most unwilling b believe, implicitly, an accusation which, if true, must brand the Whig Cabinet with an indelible and eternal mark of infamy and dishonour. To open the letters—of a Member of Parliament—of a man entrusted by the people with the solemn charge of their interests—is clearly a high crime and misdemeanour against the constitution." We entirely concur in—and have, on many recent occasions, in specific terms, advocated—these senti ments. We denounced, in terms of equal strength and reprobation, the scandalous offence to which Sir JAMES GRAHAM pleaded guilty, of having issued official warrants to authorise the detention and open ing of letters in their passage through the Post-office. But the Herald found no offence on account of this in Sir JAMES'S conduct. We, too, contended, in sub stance, that the practice of clandestinely opening letters whilst they were within the assumed sacred trusteeship of the Post-office, was "a high crime and misdemeanour against the constitution." But that which the Herald perceives to be manifestly such in Lord MELBOURNE, it would seem never to have sus pected in Sir JAMES GRAHAM. Although it holds that this species of delinquency in a Whig Premier, if truly charged, "must brand a Whig Cabinet with an indelible and eternal mark of infamy and dishonour," it cannot see that the same offence, in any way, should affix to the Home Secretary of State of a Conservative Administration any such stigma. If our memory rightly serves us, the Herald was quite facetious at the idea of imputing that to Sir JAMES, as officially flagitious, or in itself indefensible, which had been no toriously done by all his predecessors in office. But it rippenrc thnt, ;i> mai bavo boon for the purpose of our Contemporary when this grave charge, in the case of M. MAZZINI and others, was brought forward against one of its Ministerial patrons by Mr. THOMAS DUNCOMBE, to shirk the enormity of the specific violation by falling back on the whole stream of official precedents (bearing on its tide Cabinet Ministers of all parties, and all shades of po litical opinions, for more than one hundred years oast), it afterwards discovered that it had been too preripitate. By this generalizing, it had lost an un foreseen opportunity of " branding" a special delin quency, and this, too, committed by an enemy. Here was a fault to be repaired at the earliest opportunity. ft had allowed a whole flight of butterflies to escape, in order that one, in which it was interested, might not be folded in the 1 - .‘et of a Parliamentary inquiry. But it soon found, that among this flight, there was another, a bigger, a more important individual, whom it could not afford to lose. It ;esumes, therefore, in its own person, the very chace N:ghich it had depre cated in others. Lord MELBOURNE is an "Emperor" of the largest class ; and so he is caught, L 'ud solemnly pinned, and ostentatiously displayed, in the Herald's newest specimens of political entomology, in tsPPosi tion (we suppose) to Sir JAMES GRAHAM, inipal L id in a similar manner in the "glass" cases of the Oppo '47 ti in Collections, as " Papilio inspiciens—(GßA -11A m)"—a description which we humbly tender for adoption. Now, there is something, in all this, more than amusing, though the fun is not small of seeing politi tical disingenuousness reduced to the shameless incon sistency of decrying in its opponents, to-day, as " a high crime and misdemeanour against the constitu tion," that very offence which, yesterday, in its friends, is not only considered venial, but almost went out of its way to vindicate. There is, beyond this absurdity, a legitimate moral to be deduced from such party-serving tampering with principles. It is, that the attempt to compromise truth is sure to entail the discomfiture of him by whom it is made. The. practice so loudly and universally complained of is right, or it is wrong. There is no halting between its justification and its condemnation. Even if its defenders rely on the miserably humble plea of ex pediency, that plea is consistent—intelligible so far as it goes. But it is not intelligible or consistent for one man to-day, and neither consistent nor intel ligible for another to-morrow. If the Herald had had the frankness and the manliness to admit, on a recent occasion, that the opening of sealed letters was a gross and detestable perversion of official privilege in Sir JAMES GRAHAM, it might now, with perfect consistency, denounce it—as we do, without hesita tion—a gross and detestable proceeding in Lord MELBOURNE. The difference between us is this, that, writing under no trammels of party, or inte rested feeling, we as indignantly and distinctly pro test against the constitutional misdemeanour in Lord MELBOURNE, as we have protested against it in Sir JAMES GRAHAM. But the Herald, after overlooking, or palliating, or defending this course of action in its political client, the Right Hon. Baronet, turns round upon it, and holds it up to public execration, when resorted to by its political adversary, the Noble Vis- count. The fact is (for reasons which, having urged in former articles, we will not press again upon our readers), the; power of sealed letter-violation, whe ther authorised in the Secretary of State by the Act of ANNE, and continued by Mr. LAnoucumiz's Post- office Acts Consolidation Bill—or not—is morally inexcusable in theory ; whilst for reasons of sound policy, as well as on the ground of immutable rights, and national honour and public faith, and even on the much-relied one of political expendiency itself, it is absolutely indefensible. The accident of %Vhig or Tory connexion cannot affect, by one jot, the strength of the principle. What was thus tainted with wrong and fraud in the official acts of Lord MELnounNk r cannot have been more pure or less to be execrated in Sir JAMES GRARAM. But it may be that the Herald's emphatic instance of the letters " of a Member of Parliament," is meant to suggest a difference between the case of Mr. O'CoN. NELL'S correspondence and that of M. Meaux'. Be it so. The " difference " is even then worthless, for it leaves the case established against Sir JAMES Gamum untouched. It was charged by Mr. Dux- comnz that his own letters had been opened at the Post-office. The charge was not answered, but it was not denied. Mr. 'WALLACE stated, in the broadest terms, that his letters for some time met with the same treatment. The accusation was not repelled, for it was true. Besides, it was admitted that diplomatic correspondence of foreign Ministers had been, shall we say, habitually opened, under a Conservative Go vernment. The Herald surely does not mean to in timate that it was a greater crime in a Whig Go vernment to have violated Mr. O'CoNNELL's corre spondence ? Again, we say—in few words—the whole practice, from beginning to end, with its sta tutable authority, Ministerial precedents, and official usage, is in all respect► base, pitiful, and inexcusable ; —a degradation to the Minister who resorts to it, a reproach to the country which tolerates such a Minister. Private letters from Paris mention that there is every probability of the Otaheite affair being settled amicably. It is said that Captain BRUAT, disapprov ing of the arrest and expulsion of Mr. PRITCHARD, had reprimanded M. D'AuniGNr, and suspended him till further orders from his Government. We shall rejoice to find this statement confirmed; but as no dates are given, nor any mention made of later arri vals from the Pacific, it must be regarded as a mere report, though one which is extremely probable. Captain BRUAT was selected by the French Cabinet as a prudent and skilful man to succeed Admiral Do- PETIT Tuouias, and it is not at all unlikely that he at once disowned an act involving such heavy respon sibilities. The following telegraphic dispatch was received by the Government on the 22d instant :—" The last accounts from Marshal BUGEAIJD are of the 9th. At that date the Marshal still occupied the camp of Lella Magrina. The negotiations with the Moorish camp had yielded no result. The Marshal's army had been abundantly supplied by our steamers. The squadron of the Prince de JonsvlLLß was still on the 9th in the waters of Tangiers." A later dispatch, which will be fouled under the proper head, brings intelligence from Marshal Bu- GEAUD, of the 14th, and announces that he had gained a great victory over 20,000 Moorish cavalry. The journals are still almost exclusively occupied with the affairs of Morocco ; and we regret to find that owing to some indiscreet articles in the London newspapers, the tone of even the Ministerial press is somewhat al tered. The Globe thus alludes to these articles:— " Some days ago the Presse said that the journals would fill up the forced silence of the Chambers on both sides of the Channel, and that their mission became the more important in proportion to the increased gravity of circumstances. Yes ! the mission of the periodical press would indeed become great and high if it would devote itself to enlighten men's mitrls instead of disturbing them. But it had rendered itself little because it has undertaken a miserable task—a task of rancorous and narrow recrimination. No—the press cannot supply the forced silence of the Chambers, because the Chambers are the soul, the intelligence, the justice, and the inte rests of a nation, and the press in general is but its igno rance, its passion, and often its raging even to delirium. We apply this to the journals of England as well as of France. On both sides the journals are spirits of dark ness, hatred, and barbarism. On neither side do they stand forth as the sentinels of justice, peace, and civilisa tion. The harsh task which we had imposed upon our selves of making known the French press to French readers has been too faithfully accomplished to leave any necessity for our further demonstrating how well founded are our charges against it. It remains only, therefore, for us to establish by the proofs that are in our hands, that the English press is in no great degree be hind our own in irrationality, inconsistency, and evil instinet. We regret to be obliged to produce the Ti.res, a journal of so much importance, as a specimen of the bad spirit which seems to predominate over journalism in the free countries of Europe." It afterwards adds : " If it be true that order would be disturbed in France, that our new-born dynasty would be endangered, that our railroads would remain unfinished—that Paris, that great seat of industry, would be deserted by foreigners, and that with them employment, profit, and wealth, would depart; that every hranch of our national industry would receive a rude shock ; it is equally true that on the day when the flames of war should break forth the voice of O'Connell, now smothered, would be heard aloud ; the element of democracy would make the aristocracy pay dear for the aid it might lend. You would sow dis order and uneasiness amongst us, but you would not pro duce a revolution. Go to ! neither you nor we, nor any portion of Europe, have anything to gain by a war. All of us have need of order, undisturbed industry, and sta bility, and we all depend upon each other. The first cannon-ball you fire against us will strike all Europe to the heart. It is for this that we wish for peace, and not from want of confidence in our own strength or from fear of yours. When you talk of your strength you commit an enormously great act of impru dence—you place yourselves on a ground from which we have never stirred. England would be against us I But we have had all Europe upon us, and she will long bear the marks of the wounds we have inflicted upon her. Would you know what has greater influence over us than the strength of England—than all the might of Europe? We reply, justice and equity. Convince us that we are wrong, and though we will never yield a step to dictates issued from the cannon's mouth, we will give way to the arguments of good sense and truth. All this would be very alarming if France and England were governed by journals. But this is not the case. The journals, through the calumet which is called a pen, blow storms and tempests in the ocean, which is called an ink-bottle. All this comes from no ,great elevation, and penetrates to no great depth. Those who rule are, like travellers seated on the summit of the Alps—the storm is at their feet, but a calm is around them, and the invariable canopy of Heaven above their heads." The Journal des Debats adopts nearly the same strain, but the writers in these journals ought to re member that the English newspspers were not the first to begin the war of words, and that many inju rious epithets were for months applied to England without any retaliation. The Journal des Debats, in reference to such angry discussions, says : " The English press shows far more anxiety about the results of the bombardment of Tangiers than that of France, and exhibits its uneasiness in a manner which, we must declare, does it but little honour. The French Government has formally and publicly expressed its re solution to wage only a defensive war ; it has declared several times that it has not the slightest intention to an inch of territory to its African possessions, and yet it io in presence of th ese re it era t e d d ec l ara ti ons t h at t h e fnglish journals take the trouble of protesting against 1 111 permanent occupation of Morocco by France. We have already asserted, and we now repeat it, that such a proceeding is what is called showing courage and firmness at a cheap rate. It is most ungracious to impose on France limits which she had traced out for herself beforehand, of her own accord, and with out the permission of any one. The French Go• vernment has nu desire to take Morocco, but it wishes to keep Algeria. It may suit the English press to deprecate what is taking place in French Africa, and to say that we are losing our time, men, and money there. That may be the case ; but, at all events, that only regards ourselves, and we are but little sensible to the interest that is so kindly shown for our finances. We know not what England would have done with Algiers, if she had got it ; but we have it, and will ex. pend, if necesary, Millions of francs and thousands of men, to keep it. We conjure the English press to watch more carefully over itself, for it plays a part but little worthy of itself, and of the great country the opinion of which it represents. It turns a particular and accidental question into a general one, threatens us with a coalition, makes an appeal to the passions of 1815, and boasts of the support of Russia, Austria, and Prussia. There is but Hale honour in thus threatening with the sword of others. England, if she accepted the responsiblity of such a language, would strongly contradict herself. She saluted with an enthusiasm, which, in spite of every thing'we havo not lost the memory of, the revolution of 1830, because she beheld there the triumph of constitutional principles, and the victory of legal liberties. It is owing to the union of the two great liberal nations of the west that Belgium was able to found her nationality, and that Portugal and Spain could give themselves a Parlia mentary Government. Would England be now disposed to repudiate this glorious obligation, and to repudiate the cause of civilisation, progress, and liberty ? We think not."

In one of them we find a letter from Algesiras confirm ing the intelligence from Marshal BUGEAUD, conveyed by the French telegraph. "A report is current," the writer states, "that the bombardment of Tangiers TEE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY MORNING, AUGUST 26, 1844. was decided by the arrival of a telegraphic dispatch for Marshal BuGEAun, in which the Prince de JOIN VILLE was informed that the Marshal's troops had had another engagement with 20,000 Moors un der Ann-EL-FADER. It is added that the Marshal has been wounded in that action. Time will tell what truth there is in these reports ; but, whatever the cause may have been of the bombardment of Tangiers, it is certain that the fortifications of the place have been destroyed." Accounts from Barcelona of the 17th announced that the QUEEN reached Valencia on the 15th. On the Madrid Bourse the Three per Cents. were quoted at 27* at 60 days. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. RETURN of the PACHA of EGYPT ABDICATION RENOUNCED. PARIS, FRIDAY, THREE o'CLocR. The annexed intelligence has reached the French Government to-day : " ALEXANDRIA, Aua. 7. " The Viceroy has abandoned his previous reso lution to abdicate, nor %ill he persist in his in tention of making the pilgrimage to Mecca. his return to Alexandria from Cairo is expected every moment." FRANCE AND MOROCCO. News from Marshal Bugeaud of the 14th has been received. The Marshal, - wishing to prevent the re union and augmentation of the Morocco army, which every day received additional reinforcements, marched forwards from his camp. The Moroquing stood upon the defensive, with a mass of cavalry of about 20,000 men. It appears that the Marshal has gained a complete victory, but parti culars are not yet known. Bourse dull at 801. 10c.—Herald. AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY EVENING. By the arrival of the New York packet-ship Europe, Captain Furber, this evening, we have re ceived papers of the Ist of August, one day later than before. There is not much of interest, but we take the following:— FROM Sr. Do:mi.:co.—Captain Silvester, of the brig Osceola, from the city of St. Domingo, 16th July, informs us that General Santa Anna came be fore that place on the 13th July with seven hundred troops. On the 15th the gates were opened to him, and he took possession without bloodshed. He was proclaimed President, at that place, of the Spanish part of St. Domingo the same day. Most of his troops had been sent home, and be remained in the city when Captain Silvester left. The negroes had sued to him for peace, which had been granted. A French man-of-war steamer had been off that place for some time, and sailed six days previous for Aux Cays. The. British frigate Inconstante had also been there and sailed for Aux Cayes. THE ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC.—By an arrival at Key West, a few days since, of a vessel from the Spanish Main, we learn that the French Government have been actively engaged for the last two months in laying rails, grading, and otherwise making pre parations for a steam-conveyance from Porto Bello to Panama, thus connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and doing away, for the present, any intent upon cutting a canal at the Isthmus.—St. Augustine News, Jul? , 23. THE IN EMI MONARCH OF MORMONDOM.—The Mormon mantle has fallen upon Sam Smith, elder brother to Joe, the late Prophet, who has been, or is to be, inducted into office with all due solemnity, and take upon himself the entire government of the " Latter Day Saints," as prophet and patriarch in chief. UNITEDSTATES LAND SALES.—The President has ordered sales of the public lands in Missouri, as fol lows :—At Pittsburg, on the 21st day of October; at Clinton, on the 24th of October; at Fayette, on the 28th of October; at St. Louis, on the Ist day of Oc tober ; at Jackson, on the 4th day of November ; at Springfield, on the 7th day of November next. All these sales are of lands which were surveyed or made ready for sale during the past year, awl afford an ex cellent opportunity to those who may desire to enter lands. There will also be sales at Dixon, Illinois, on the 7th, and at Chicago on the 10th of October next. On Tuesday week a duel took place opposite Grand Gulf, between M. W. Allen, Esq., of Grand Gulf, and Dr. Maesteller, of Millikin's Bend, La.; weapons— pistols loaded with buck-shot, distance ten feet. One was shot in the thigh, and the other in the hip— neither supposed to be dangerous. The agricultural prints have a story of a cow in Illinois, which suffered herself to be sucked every evening by pigs; they sat on their hams, and com pleted the milking process in short order. The bookseller Campe, of Wurtemburg, has pub lished the calculation that a woman reading sixteen hours a day, must live nine hundred and sixty-three years to peruse all the books on cookery issued in Germany. Mr. Sable Rogers, of Springfi e ld, M ass ., was brought before a justice on the 15th inst., on the charge of violating the Lord's day in mowing and making hay, &c., and convicted and fined ten dollars and costs of court. He appealed, and was put under 100 dollars bond for good behaviour and to keep the peace, &c. The wife of Mr. Carvey, residing in Poplar-lane, was on Wednesday d N e o l i r v t e h r e e r d n o L f i f b o e u r r t i c e h s d P r h e d three elph i finea, healthy boys and one girl. The mother and children, we are happy to state, are doing as well as can be expected. NEW YORK MARKETS, JULY 31. The sales at the Stock Exchange were to fair extent. Norwich and Worcester Railroad advanced ; Long Island Railroad, ; Canton Co., 14 ; Ohio Sixes, ; Indiana Bonds, ; Farmers' Loan, I ; Stonington Rail road, ; and Reading Railroad, per eent. Illinois Sixes and Pennsylvania Fives fell off 4 ; and Paterson Railroad, • At the Public Stock Exchange, Farmers' Loan ad vanced ; Canton Co., ; and Nor w i c h an d W orce ster Railroud,.-1 per cent. There was some inquiry for Foreign Exchange during the forenoon. Sales of Sterling were made at 1091 a 1091; and of Francs, at 5.25 a 5 . 2 64. We have no alteration to notice in the C o tt on m a rket; the sales are moderate at yesterday's prices. Flour remains as last noticed. Sales of Genesee are made at $4,371 ; Ohio and Michigan, 84,25 a 4,314; Pennsylvania, 8 . 4,12} a 4,25; Georgetown, $4,37f a 4,50; Petersburgh, Alexander, and Fredericksburg at $4,25. Rye Flour, $2,75 a 3,00. Corn Meal, $2,432. a 2,62 i. 20,000 bushels Southern Corn sold at 48c., and 1,200 bushels at 48ic. The market for Ashes is unsettled ; a few small lots of Pots sold at $4,12, and of Pearls at $4,374. DUTCH MAIL, FRANKFORT, Aua. 18.—We have reason to believe that their Majesties the king and Queen of Prussia will arrive in this neighbourhood by the 20th of Sep tember. The changeable and rainy weather which we have had for some tune has revived, in some measure, the hopes of the speculators for a rise in the price of corn. They give out that the wheat has suffered great in jury in several districts, and that though .a great quantity has been housed, the quality is by no means as good as was expected. These reports, however, are not confirmed by the assurance of intelligent far mers in the principal corn districts which have been received.here; they rather expect a further decline in the price. TREES, Auc. 14.—We learn that the Duke of Bordeaux and Viscount Chateaubriand, and several other distinguished legitimists, will shortly arrive here. RUSSIAN FRONTINR, AUG. 9.--EXtreTnely unfavour able accounts have been received at St. Petersburg') respecting the operation in the Caucasus ; but nobody ventures to speak of them. It may, however, be taken for certain, that at the end of May, and in the beginning of June, the Russians lost in the combats with the Circassians nearly 10,000 men, two im portant fortresses, several small forts, a number of cannon, and some very important positions. Besides this, many tribes, hitherto neuter, have joined the mountaineers. It 'is reported that the latter have since obtained further advantages. The war depart ment seems to b e engage d i n preparing measures to repair the losses that have been sustained. There is no doubt that the Emperor will go to the Caucasus as soon as the uncertainty respecting the illness of his daughter shall be ended.—Elberfeld Journal. Tint HAGUE, AUG, 21.—The Court goes into mourning for three weeks on occasion of the death of the Grand Duchess Alexandria. We have received several accounts, from different parts of the kingdom, of violent storms and inunda tions, which hare done great damage. HAMBURGH MAIL. BERLIN, AUG. 13.—The contagion of the riots of the workmen has extended to us. Yesterday evening there was a disturbance in the great Dannenberg cotton manufacttry. The workmen refused to work for the same wages as hitherto. The cause of this discontent is said to be the following:—Some time since a mode of finishing with new colours was introduced in this manufactory. As the work did not proceed so rapidly as by the old mode, the manufacturers allowed higher wages for this kind of work. The workmen, however, have since become so expert in the work, that they find it as easy as the old method. The manufacturers have therefore reduced their wages to what they were before. This has made them dissatisfactory. The police directly repaired with a sufficient forc e to the spot, and all means of persuasion were used to quiet the men, and the neces sary-precautions taken to prevent excesses. Unhappily, the evil has spread, and this morning the workmen in some other manufactories havo declared that they will not work but for higher wages. Mr.' Goldschmidt, the proprietor of one of the largest establishments, was busy in making arrangements for the exhibition of the German manufactures, when he was called away. lie told the men that he should not raise their wages, which was amply sufficient to support the workmen (to earn five or six dollars a week, and if very diligent seven dollars). and thus every one was free to return to his work or to keep away. . - BRESLAU, AUG. 15.—The magistrates of the circle of Pless have issued the following proclamation : " In several parts of the monarchy a feeling of irrita tion against the Jews has manifested itself, and in some places has broken out in acts of violence. The expe rience of former times teaches us such feelings are con tageous, and that everything must he avoided which can tend to increase them. I am, therefore, instructed by superior authority to direct the police to pay especial at. tention to this matter, and not only to prevent and stifle in the very beginning every outbreak of wantonness, in sult, and fanaticism against the Jews, but, if contrary to expectation, such hostile disposition should actually manifest itself, in words and deeds, to interfere with judg ments, and produce to the most decisive and energetic measures against the persons so offending." MONEY AND COMMERCIALNEWS. (From The Sun of Saturday Evening.) The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 4,000 bags, the market being flat. Shares were in moderate request, as regards Manchester and Sheffield, Manches ter and Leeds, and Liverpool and Manchester ; but not much was doing in the others.

In a communication we have seen from Gibraltar, it is mentioned as a fact that the French Admiral's ship dis charged not less than 3,000 to 3,500 shots during the bombardment at Morocco. The Oporto wine trade have been relieved from all doubt as to the progress of any further negotiations with Portugal on the subject of an alteration of the duties. It has been officially stated that no further correspon dence between the two Governments is expected. The correspondence upon this subject will, no doubt, be found in another column of The Sun. This is quite a blank day in the City, as far as ar rivals from the colonies of later dates are concerned. The value of Consols has this morning scarcely been so high as it was yesterday. In the morning, for Money, there was a purchase, for transfer next week, at 98i, but now the price is 98.1-for Time and for Money. The premium upon Exchequer Bills is a shade lower than it was in the early pact of the day. Bank Stock is again at 1994, and India Stock at 282. A full amount of business has been done this morning in the Foreign Funds. French Fire per Cents. have been firm at 119 E 50e., the exchange remaining at 251:50e. Belgian Bonds are a shade lower than they were. For the other foreign Stocks the demand has been very slight to-day. An improvement in the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway Shares has taken place this morning to 7s. premium. In other respects the market for most of the shares has been flat. The British North American Bank Shares are at 74 discount. PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS AT ONE O'CLOCK (From the Official List.)

On Tuesday afternoon the King of the French, ac companied by General Athalin, the Duke d'Estissac and MM. Fontaine and Cailleux, paid a visit to St Cloud. His Majesty returned to Neuilly at seven o'clock. In the evening their Majesties received Vice- Admiral Massieu de Clerval, Generals de Laplace and Monthion, Counts Dumas and d'Etchegoyen, Baron de Bussiero, M. de Saint Marc Girardin, and M. Robin. The Duke de Nemours reviewed the garrison of Metz and the national guard of that town, on the 19th, after which he gave a grand dinner to the principal officers, and one officer of each grade. An immense assemblage of the inhabitants witnessed the review, and loudly cheered the Royal Duke. The Archbishop of Paris arrived at Havre on Tues day, and took a passage on board the steam-packet Rot terdam for Holland. The trialof Meesrs. Toutain, Couchard, De l'Espinois, and Charhonnier de Guesnerie, implicated in the charge of conspiracy, will be brought before the Court of Assizes on the 29th inst. It appears that the Duke d'Escars and the Prince de Robecq, who were also in culpated, will not be arraigned at the same time—the ordonnance of the Chamber of Council of the Criminal Tribunal having declared that there was not sufficient evidence of their complicity in this case, and that the Prince do Robecq was also under another indictment before the Court of Assizes for the sale and distribution of emblems of a nature to disturb the public peace. The tribunal of Premiere Instance of the Seine on Wednesday pronounced a separation between Marie Taghoni, the well-known dancer, and Count Gilbert de Voisins, her husband. Count Boinfim, who took refuge in Spain, after an un successful attempt at revolution in Portugal, has arrived at Bayonne. The Princess Royal of Prussia has arrived at the waters of Homburgh, near Frankfort-on-the where the Prince Royal will join her on his return from England. The Princess Lieven arrived in Paris from Baden on Tuesday, and left on the following day for Dieppe, where ,he intends to remain a fortnight. Mr. lbce Sombre, who has been six or eight days at Boulogne, was expected in Paris. The Revue de Paris states that a new branch has been organised in the Foreign Department, which is to be exclusively occupied with American affairs, and that M. L. de Lavergne, well known in the political and literary world, has been appointed director of that office LAW AND POLICE. In the Bankruptcy Court, Jamesßradshaw, late a woollen-draper in Marylebone-street, passed his final examination. In the course of an insolvent case, which came on during Friday, Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque re marked upon the impolicy of insolvents employing, as agents, persons who hung about the various prisons. This was bad enough; but he had seen advertisements, purporting to be from attorneys, and he had now the prospectus of one before him, by which it appeared that their charges were most exorbitant—far beyond the charge made by any respectable attorney. Insolvents might rely that the employment of regular attorneys would be found to be much the cheapest in the end. As regarded the advertising attorneys, he (the Learned Commissioner) should watch their practice very closely when they came before him. A person named Comber, head-guard of the mail train on the Eastern Counties Railway, recovered 81., in the Secondaries' Court, from the keeper of the Eastern Counties Railway Tavern, for the service of his wife as barmaid in that establishment. Thomas Wood and Samuel Poulson were convicted at Gloucester, on Thursday, of burglary, and sentenced each to fifteen years' transportation, upon which Wood impudently exclaimed, " Thank you, nay Lord, I'd sooner have that than a twelvemonth in this prison." A man arid his wife, named Sims, were also convicted of burglary, at the same assizes, and sentenced to ten years' transportation. An old man, sixty-seven years of age, named Watkins, was sentenced to fifteen years' transportation, for a simi lar offence. He had been before convicted. A young brute, named Thomas Goatman, who was only 17 years of age, was sentenced to twelve mouths' hard labour for having, on the 10th of April, feloniously wounded a mare, from which she died, the property of Hunipidge. The wretch had beat the unfortu nate animal unmercifully, and then poked her with a stick, which penetrated her intestines. In the ease of Latham andothers v. Oliver Clerk, which was an action directed by the Lord Chancellor, for the purpose of ascertaining the right of the parishioners of Barlaston, in Staffordshire, to certain exemptions from tithes of a large tract of land, of about nine hundred acres, the jury returned a verdict for the parishioners. Mr. Godson held a Court in the Grand Jury-room, i❑ order that the business of these assizes might terminate in time to give the Chief Justice an opportunity of devoting a day or two to the consideration of his judgment in the important case " O'Connell v. Regina." In Mr. Godson's Court, a respectable-looking young man, named David Evans, was indicted for robbing his master, Mr. Mills, shopkeeper and Methodist minister, of Oldbury and Tarringtoa. The prosecutor gave his testimony in such an unsatisfactory manner that the Judge stopped the case, and addressed the prosecutor as follows :—" Let me tell you, Mr. Mills, you have done yourself no credit by your conduct here ; I shall hardly do my duty if I allow your expenses ; go away, sir." In the case of Smith v. Boucher, tried at Liverpool before Mr. Justice Cresswell, and which was an action to recover a sum of money alleged to be due to the plain tiff; a broker, for his services in obtaining a charter for a ship of the defendant's, the jury found for the plain tiff—Damages 35/. A verdict for the plaintiff, with 50/. damages, was returned in the case of M'Clure v. France and another, which was an action of assault. The evidence was of a very contradictory character. Patrick Larkin, a letter-carrier, was convicted at the Central Criminal Court of stealing a letter containing valuable securities, and sentenced to transportation fur life. James Carroll was charged with the wilful murder of Elizabeth Hobbs. The jury found him guilty of man slaughter, but recommended him to mercy ; and Mr. Justice Wightman sentenced him to be imprisoned for one month. Sarah Hyland, the late house-maid at the Savoy public house, the particulars of whose case have been repeatedly before the public, was indicted for the wilful murder of her male illegitimate child. The jury were locked up nearly eight hours, and at length returned a verdict find ing the prisoner guilty of concealing the birth, and not guilty of murder. Faith Bowerman, indicted for the murder of her female illegitimate child, by casting it upon the ground, and thereby giving it divers mortal wounds and frac tures, of which it then and there died, was found guilty of manslaughter. Amelia Alfrey, 26, was indicted for feloniously as saulting Mary Anne French, and casting her into the water, with intent to drown and murder her. This was the unfortunate woman who had attempted to drown her self and her children in a pond at Wandsworth-common, in consequence of being deserted by the father of her children, with whom she had cohabited six years. It will be remembered that the mother and children were rescued by the courage of her brother, Wm. Alfrey, a little boy. The jury, after a very short deliberation, acquitted the prisoner on the ground of insanity, and she was ordered to be detained during her Majesty's pleasure. The prisoner's brother was then re-called by Mr. Baron Gurney, who told him that the courage he had shown, and the manner he acted at the time, did him great credit. Mary Page, a genteel looking young woman, was convicted in the New Court of enticing away a child named Maud, and robbing it of its clothes. Five men, farmers' servants, were indicted for stealing oats from their respective masters ; and Thomas Harvey, a respectable-looking old man, was charge d with feloni ously receiving the same, well knowing the property to have been stolen.
