Report of the Prince de Joinville to the Minister of Marine, on board the Steamer Pluto, Aug 10. M. LE MlNlsTuz—Not having time to give you an account by the last courier of the state of our affairs, in detail, as well as of our operations before Tan giers, I take advantage of the first moment of lei sure to fulfil this duty. I informed you that on the 2d August, the day fixed for the reply to the ultimatum of our Consul- General, nothing reached us. I waited then for news of Mr. Hay, before corn mitting hostile acts. On the 4th a letter of Sidi Bousselam Pacha, of Larache, was sent as more measured, more concilia tory, than precedent ones ; it renewed, nevertheless, the insolent demand of the punishment of the Mar shal. The letter of Sidi Bousselam said not a word of the dislocation of the corps of troops collected near Ouchda. As to Abd-el-Kader, Sidi Bousselann asserted that he was no longer on the Morocco terri tory, and that orders bad been given to prevent his returning to it. Nevertheless, the Marshal learned at the same time that Abd-el-fader had gone into the interior of Morocco. These accounts had but one object, to trifle with us. Annoyed at learning nothing of Mr. Hay, I sent the Veloce steamer to inquire and bring news of him. The Veloce came back on the sth to Tangiers, bringing me word that Mr. Hay was in safety at Mogadore. In fine, on the evening of the sth, the Olna, coming from Oran; brought me your dispatch of the 27th, ordering me to commence hostilities, if the answer to the ultimatum was not satisfactory. It brought us news, also, of the Marshal proving the falsity of the assertions of the Moors respecting Abd-el-Kader. Hesitation was no longer possible. We were amused with deceitful messages while they were pre paring war ; and we were thus obliged to have re , course to arms. On the morning of the 6th I attacked the batteries of Tangiers. My instructions were to destroy the exterior fortification, but to respect the town. I could easily have attained this aim by disembark ing; but I preferred employing cannon, and render ing the batteries useless, whilst respecting the quar ters of the Consuls, which but five or six stray bullets reached. We attained this result with the loss of three dead and sixteen wounded, the ships receiving very slight injury. The enemy confesses a loss of 150 dead and 400 wounded ; but it is impossible to ascertain the num ber of dead, since they were only drawing them from under the ruins on the Bth. During the engagement, Mr. Hay arrived from Rabal, where he had stopped to see the Emperor. I received him the next day. He told me he found the Emperor much depressed. The news of the retire ment of the Consuls had reached him. Mr. Hay thanked me for the solicitude I had shown with re spect to him. I now proceed to Mogadore, at the other extremity of the empire. Mogadore is the private property of the Emperor. The town itself, as well as the public revenue, is his property. He lets the houses and the ground. It is, in a word, one of the principal sources of his revenue. To attack that city, to destroy it, or to occupy the island that forms the port, until we obtain satisfaction, is to give the most sensible blow to Muley Abderrahman and all the south of his empire. I shall limit myself for the moment to these two operations in order to prove to the Emperor that he is deserted by all the world. The affair of Tangiers has sufficiently proved that, and that we have the means of doing him serious injury (which we shall try to prove at Mogadore). Moreover, our presence on the coast will recal the Moors from the frontier to the defence of their homes, and will thus facilitate the Marshal's operations. We can then warn the Emperor, that in spite of what has passed, we still desire peace, and that what we have done at Tangiers and Mogadore will prove that he must not trifle with us. If he wishes for peace, let him hasten to grant us what we demand, and let acts follow words. If not, if he is not con tented, and if he continues to receive and encourage our enemies on the frontier, he must expect extremi ties from us. The later dispatch of the Marshal Bugeaud con tains the following particulars :—Our loss in the day was fourteen killed and sixty-four wounded, including one officer. The island taken, it only remained to us to destroy the batteries of the town, which lie oppo site the harbour. Our cannon had already damaged them, but it was necessary to make them completely unfit for service. Yesterday, when under the cross fire of three steamers and two brigs, 500 men were disembarked; they met with no resistance; we spiked the guns and threw some of them into the sea. We carried away some of them, the powder magazines were swamped ; in fine, we carried off or sunk all the vessels which were lying in the harbour. I believe that we could at that time have penetrated into the interior of the town without danger, but it would have been only a promenade without an object or without other result than useless pillage. I therefore abstained, and brought back the troops to the island, and the crews on board the ships. I am busy establishing on the island a garrison of 500 men. The occupation of the island without the blockade of the port would be but half a measure. I therefore follow your orders, in closing the port of Mogadore. The town at this moment is on fire, pillaged by the Arabs, who have taken possession, after having driven out the Imperial garrison. The English Consul, his family, and some Europeans, have just come to us. FRANCOIS DE ORLEANS. Mogadore, Aug. 17. PARIS, Auo. 29.—At Tortoni's in the evening the funds opened at 80f. 35c., but soon afterwards they fell to 80f. 20c., at which they closed. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS TROY THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAT. GLOBE.—This morning's Post publishes the fol , lowing paragriph2—__ "FRANCE AND ENGLAND. " At an early hour this morning we were informed, on what we were assured was good authority, that an important crisis has now arrived in the relations between England and France. "According to our informant, the receipt of the in telligence from Mogadore on Tuesday night was im mediately followed by the dispatch of a special courier to Paris as the bearer of a communication from Lord Aberdeen to M. Guizot. His Lordship is said to have demanded the immediate evacuation of the island of Mogadore by the forces under his Royal Highness the Prince de Joinville, and to have intimated that, in the event of a refusal to withdraw the French troops, measures would forthwith be taken, in comformity with the established usage in similar circumstances. " The deep interest involved in this statement makes us regret that, at the period at which we write, it is not possible for us, of our own knowledge, to affirm or deny the truth of it." We have, of course, no official means of confirm ing, or contradicting, this piece of intelligence ; but we think we have sufficient previous evidence to lead us to disbelieve it. Our Ministerial prints of yester day made out the Mogadore doings rather satisfactory than otherwise ; and we do not suppose they would have thus treated so serious a matter absolutely without hints from head-quarters. Independent of this apocryphal piece of news, there is abundantly enough of undoubted authenticity to justify no ordinary anxiety in the consistent friends of peace in both countries. Amongst those friends of peace we take leave to claim our, however humble, rank ; and to deny altogether the soft impeachment (from a soft source) of " our warlike Contemporaries." Warlike we are not, most assuredly; but we assuredly would have been better prepared for war. The charge of faction we repel with condign contempt. We are not of that faction which soundel the war trumpet five years back or so, when nothing like war threat ened. We are not f that faction which, while in Opposition, made it a merit to encourage increased armaments ; and which no sooner obtained place than it made a merit of cutting those armaments again down. We are not of that faction which cried " wolf! wolf! " in 1839, and when the wolf really prowled, had lulled the nation to sleep with the entente cordiale. STANDARD.--The Morning Post, of this day, publishes an an nouncement of a communication made by Lord Aberdeen to the French Government. It is one of those convenient statements, which, for the day at least, it is impossible to contradict, because there is no one who can directly con tradict, except the Foreign Secretary himself, and his lips are sealed. Lord Aberdeen might, indeed, if he looked only to the particular case, say (as we are sure he can with truth assert) i • 4 Loot 0 .., 41 13 4 100 1 9 100 1 0 All aid 100 0 • Stock Stock 147 9 0 Stock M 1 • 50 0 0 63 2 8 50 9 • 100 0 0 70 10 $ 500 8 • 25 0 0 100 0 0 100 0 0 5000 250 • 0 750 0 • 100 • 0 100 0 • 50 0 • 1000 • 0 20 • 0 20 • • 20 0 0 Stock 100 0 • 25 0 0 25 • • 500 • • 100 • 0 100 0 • 100 • 0 50 0 • 25 • 0 25 • 0 20 0 0 50 0 • SO 0 0 20 0 0 100 • 0 5 • 0 Stock 100 • 0 100 0 0 900 0 0 40 0 0 58 1 1 100 0 0 100 • • 100 0 0 50 0 0 25 0 0 100 • 0 10 0 e 90 0 0 100 I I 20 0 0 51 0 0 95 0 0 50 0 0 20 0 • 40 0 • 21 0 0 77 10 0 50 0 • 21 0 0 20 0 8 20 0 • 100 0 • 101 0 • 76 0 0 50 • 0 50 0 • 51 0 0 25 0 0 3000 50 0 0 100 0 • 50 0 • 50 • • 50 0 • 50 • • 25 0 0 100 • 0 41 13 4 100 • 0 30 0 0 100 I 0 03 11 9 100 0 0 100 0 • 100 0 0 100 0 0 00 0 • 95 0 0 SO 0 0 100 0 100 0 0 100 0 50 0 0 SO 0 0 SU 0 0 50 0 0 50 0 0 100 100 0 0 50 I 0 50 0 0 10 0 0 16 13 4 12 15 4 1 100 0 0 32 0 • 41 6 10 13 15 9 100 0 0 50 0 0 70 0 • 100 0 0 0 0 0 20 0 0 50 0 0 56 0 e 20 0 1 20 0 0 20 0 0 100 0 0 50 0 0 20 0 0 50 0 0 25 0 0 5 • 0 15 0 0 100 0 0 15 •• 0 0 35 0 0 25 0 0 20 0 0 100 0 0 2000 20 0 0 55 0 0 20 • 0 50 0 0 10 0 0 60 0 • 25 • 0 Se • 0 2500 40 0 0 75 0 0 100 0 0 25 0 0 10 0 0 100 0 0 50 0 0 100 • 0 15 0 • 5 4 0 5 0 0 10 0 0 10 0 e 50 0 0 90 0 0 40 0 9 be 8 • 5 0 0 II 0 0 5 • 0 5 0 0 5.5 0 0 3 _0 • i IS 0 10 0 0 5 0 0 050 • 0 All paid 2 0 0 3 0 • 36 II • 9 II 0 9 I@ 50 • 0 10 • • 5 13 0 10 • • I 0 0 19 10 0 12 10 0 2 10 0 9 • • 5 0 • 1 • • 10 0 • 10 • • 5 0 0 0 5 0 0 , .. 0 0 40 • 0 40 20 0 26 0 20 • • 9• • • 10 • • 7 10 • 25 0 0 10 II • 17 10 • 35 0 • 10 0 • 10 • • 25 • • 11 0 • 16 0 9 11 • • 19 0 • 60 • 0 ' 91 0 1 100 0 0 75 0 0 31 3 0 IS 0 0 50 0 0 50 0 0 2000 3001 39 S 0 •0 0 0 2$ 0 1 48 0 0 io - i o 23 0 0 40000 10000 7000 300 3 00 2300 5000 100 00 1100 00 7500 1 50 0 0 12 0 • si 6 6 50 0 • S 0 • 100 • 0 100 0 0 1 50 • 0 1 30 0 • 1 10 • • 100 0 0 2 0 0 1 82 0 0 71 0 0 30 0 • 40 0 • 100 e • 2 10 0 4 • • 45 • 0 15 • 0 20 0 1 20 • • 10 0 9 1100 o e SO 0 • 18 0 0 50 • • 45 • • 31 0 14 10 0 100 • v 25 • ( 150 0 0 91 • • 25 0 • 15 0 • 75 • 0 7 10 0 7 10 0 40 0 0 13 0 • 15 0 0 20 • • 10 10 0 3 0 0 50 0 0 7 0 0 150 0 0 50 0 0 10 0 0 40 0 0 - 2 10 2 100 0 9 109 0 0 10 e 0 30 • 0 35 10 5 32 10 • 14 0 0 1 10 0 5 0 0 3 0 0 7 0 0 75 0 0 2s 0 o 50 • 0 100 0 0 1000 0 25 0 0 180 0 0 50 0 0 50 0 0 20 0 0 20 0 0 PANIES' PRI 844. 10 0 10 0 10 0 10 0 0 12 10 0 1 0 0 2 10 0 50 0 0 50 0 0 25 0 0 25 0 0 THE SUN, LONDON, PRtDAY EVENING AUGEtTST - 80, 1844. that the whole is a pure intention ; but then, if a Foreign Secretary, were once to open the practice of contradicting newspaper falsehoods, that practice must in the end come to this, that he must contradict every mis-statement put forward to fish the foreign policy of the Government, which would be the same thing as a daily publication of the minutes and correspondence of the Foreign-office. Unable, however, as we are to contradict directly from authority the mischievous statement of the Morning Post, we think that there can be little difficulty in demonstrating its utter falsehood by the indirect process. It is, in fact, in the very highest degree improbable that the Earl of Aberdeen has made any such communication as that reported by the Morning Post, and if his Lordship has made any such communication, it is per fectly impossible that the Morning Post can know anything of the matter. It is in the very highest degree improbable, that the British Minister should , demand that the Royal French Admiral be ordered to evacuate a post of which he has merely taken a military possession, and upon which Great Britain or an ally of Great Britain, has no claim, and which notoriously belongs to the empire with which France is at war. France might as well have insisted upon our abandonment of Hong-Kong or Chusan. The permanent occupation of the island of Mogadore may be the subject of future negotiation should France insist upon it, or should Great Britain care about it, and we confess that we think the one as improbable as the other, but it is apparent that the time for such negotiations is not yet arrived, nor, as we fear, very near at hand. France and Morocco are still unfortunately at war, and it is one of the incidental rights of war to hold military possessions of the fortresses and territories of the enemy, unquestioned by third parties. As to the demand of a provisional engagement to surrender the island at the end of the war, such a demand would seem to be an insult to the Government which has already disclaimed any purpose of retaining the dominions of the Emperor of Morocco—and at all events the one engagement would not be of more worth than the other ; we do not say this as slighting the value of the first engagement, for we have an implicit confidence in the integrity of the present Government of France, which is in all re spects the opposite of the Cabinet that cheated us in the affair of Algiers ; we say it merely to mark the improbability that a second engagement should be required specially relating to Moga dore. Next, admitting the wild hypothesis that the Earl of Aberdeen has, in fact, made the demand imputed to him, arises the question, how was the Morning Post to know anything of the matter ? The Morning Post, we presume, does not claim to be in Lord Aberdeen's confidence, and even supposing it to possess the key of M. Guizot's bureau, there has not been time for the news to make the journey back from Paris. The whole is, then, as we have said before, an utter falsehood, and no one who has ob • served the effect of similar falsehoods upon the temper of the French people will dispute that it is a most mischievous falsehood. There is little hope, how ever, that any experience of the ill effect of such practices will cause them to be discontinued. The Duke of Wellington in his letters and dispatches from the Peninsula between 1808 and 1813, makes more frequent complaint of the gossip ing and not always accurate communications of his officers to the London newspapers, than of any other annoyance ; yet though the honour of the British arms and the safety of every man of the Duke's army were more or less compromised by the indul gence of this vicious habit, it continued to be indulged, and will continue, we fear, to the end of time. When, however, the peace of the world comes to be perilled by newspaper gossipping and newspaper lies, the subject assumes a very serious complexion. PROMISSORY NOTES. (From This Night's Gazette.)

(From the London New Price Current of Aug. 30.) SUGAR.-The market has assumed a quiet appearance for most descriptions of Colonial Sugar, and there is generally more disposition on the part of merchants to realise. For West India the demand has been limited for bright grocery descriptions, but at present no general reduction in prices can be quoted. To-day buyers of West India Sugar come forward with more freedom ; the Refiners purchased extensively and from the Grocers a good demand prevailed ; prices im proved and left off the same as on this day week • the large quantity of 901 hhds,_ &c., was disposed of makingl the purchases for the week 2,200 hhds and trcs. REFINED.-Prices are not so firm for refined goods, but the home trade have been induced to purchase largely of all descriptions upon the following terms, viz., brown lumps at 72s to 72s 6d, standard lumps 73s to 73s 6d, tittlers 72s 6d to 775, fine 78s to 82s, Hamburgh loaves 73s to 80s, double 81s to 90s, and wet lumps 71s to 725. To-day large parcels of refined goods were taken by the home trade at the rates previously established ; Foreign Refined in bond, owing to the extensive pur chases of Crushed, for forward delivery, there is very little to be obtained at 27s 6d, and the Refiners evince great firmness in their demands, Loaves are only in partial demand. MAURITIUS-There has been little inclination shown to purchase this description of Sugar during the week, good and fine yellow kinds have sustained the former currency, but inferior and brown, of which the supply has principally consisted, are again rather cheaper ; of 3,243 bags submitted to public competition a part only was disposed of-fine bright strong yellow at 61s to 635, good 60s to 605 6d, good middling 57s 6d to 595, middling 54s 6d to 56s 6d, low dingy 53s to 545, fine brown 52s to 52s 6d, good 50s to 51s 6d, and middling 48s to 49s 6d per cwt. EAST INDIA.-There is an increase in the stock of foreign free labour Sugar as compared with that of last year of 89,934 bags, still the market is sparingly sup plied. Manilla is wanted, but the reluctance of holders to sell still operates against business ; prices, however, do not improve. This afternoon the market was well supplied with Mau ritius Sugar ; buyers were more inclined to purchase and the whole sold with spirit at fully former rates ; fine bright yellow fetched 615 to 665, good 58s to 593, good middling 56s 6d to 575, middling 54s 6d to 565, low dingy 53s 6d to 545, fine brown 52s to 535, good middling and good 50s to 51s 6d, middling 47s to 48s Gd, and low 44s to 45s 6d per cwt. FOREIGN.-Importers of brown and yellow Havannah Sugar are more inclined to realise, and have submitted to a reduction on former rates of 6d to is per cwt ; there has, however, been a large business transacted upon these terms ; but for white prices have ruled firmer ; at auction fine white fetched 31s to 31s 6d, good 29s to 30s, middling 28s Gd, damaged 25s to 27s 6d, good sound yellow 20s to 203 6d, middling middling 18s 6d to 19s 6d, low 17s 6d to 18s, damaged 18s 6d to 19s, low to good sound brown 16s to 17s ; .587 boxes 18 brls of Cuba went at 27s to 28s for good sound white, 25s to 26s 6d for low to middling, 24s 6d for washed, 20s to 20s 6d for good sound yellow, 18s to 19s 6d for low to middling, and 195 for good washed. MOLASSES.-For West India the demand has been good, and former rates are suppored-Dominica and Trinidad at 22s to 235, and inferior sorts at 20s to 21s per cwt ; the quantity offering for sale is, however, not so large as it was a few weeks back, prices rule nil• usually low, and are 4s to 6s per cwt under those of last season at this period. For East India Molasses there are stiil few purchasers. Honey, at auction, fetched 703 per cwt. This afternoon, 100 puncheons of good Antigua Molasses were sold privately at 22s 6d per cwt. Cocos.-For West India, the demand has been brisk, and a further advance in prices of is to 2s per cwt has taken place ; at auction Trinidad sold at 40s to 41s 6d for low red, 42s to 44s 6d for mid and good, and 37 for very low grey ; 74 bags of Grenada went at 46s 6d for fine bright red, and 42s to 42s 6d for common, but 340 bags of Trinidad were taken in much above the value, good fair red at 453 to 465, and fair grey 42s per cwt. Of Foreign some parcels have been disposed of rather above former rates ; the stock is not a large one. COFFEE. -here has been little inclination manifested on the part of the trade to purchase West India this week, and although the market has been sparingly sup plied, still a further reduction in prices of is to 2s per cwt has taken place ; few parcels have been dis posed of by private contract, and only 78 casks of Jamaica were offered at public sale, which went off heavily-mid at 84s to 85s, low mid 775, fine fine ord 71s to 735, fine ord 60s 6d to 655, good ord 52s to 565, ord 50s to 51s 6d, triage 43s to 455, and very low 22s per cwt. Of Trinidad 26 casks were nearly all taken in at 62s to 65s for fine fine ord, 56s to 60s for fine ord, and 50s to 51s per cwt for ord. Of good mid and fine mid Jamaica the supply is unusually small. The consump tion of West India is still much interfered with by Ceylon. Holders of East India have shown firmness, and the market has been sparingly supplied. To-day there was no public sale of any description of Coffee. Ceylon met with more attention, and rather higher rates were paid ; good ord selling by private contract at 55s to 55s 6:1 per cwt. Holders show firmness. TEA.- An increased desire has been manifested by the town and country trade to purchase most descrip tions of Tea this week. The lower qualities of Congou are much wanted, and large parcels have been disposed of at very full rates-indeed, the supply of these sorts is greatly reduced ; common to but middling coarse have been selling at 10111 to Hid, but middling rather strong mixed blackish leaf is to is Old ; mid blackish leaf is Id to is 3d; good and fine qualities Is Bid to Is 6d. The tendency of prices is upwards for the fine Pekoe kinds. Pouchong common at 51d to 6i-d, fairish and good leaf 7d to 10d, and superior lOid to Is. Souchong of the better kinds is little wanted, and prices are still going down, but for the lower sorts some inquiry has existed, at late quotations. Bohea is worth 6d to 61d per lit. The better kinds of Twankay have been in excellent request, chiefly as a substitute for the lower sorts of Hyson, and prices rule high---Is 4d to is 8d paid for but middling to middling brightish leaf, and Is 9d to 2s 5d for superior and Hyson kind, but for common quotations remain at is 2d to ]s 3d, and several parcels are offering for sale. For Hyson buyers have been compelled to pay further advanced rates. For young Hyson holders are not able to obtain higher rates. Of Orange Pekoe some parcels sold at 3s 2d to 3s sd, and there is little undisposed of. In plain Orange sales to a fair extent made at former quotations. To-eay several parcels of Tea were disposed of at firm rates : sound common Congou for cash was with difficulty to be purchased under lld per lb. SPICES.-Holders of Pimento show firmness, and have refrained from offering any at auction. Importers of Cassia Lignea are not inclined to submit to any . further decline in prices, and have rs frained from offering any at public sale. Holders of Cinnamon are reluctant to submit to lower rates, and but very little b usiness has been transacted since this day week. Prices rule firm for Nut megs, and some parcels have been sold by private con tract-Singapore, good at 3s 9d to 4s, mid and good mid 3s 3d to 3s Bd, low mid brown 3s to 3s 2d ; the value of limed is is 6d to 2s 6d per lb. Mace has sustained the former currency. Cloves are in demand, prices ruling low-Penang and Bencoolen selling at 2s to 2s 7d, Bour bon 9d to lOid, and Amboyna is 2d to is 6d per lb. This afternoon white Pepper was in good demand, and 100 bags at auction were all sold at firm rates-good mid went at 50, and mid 44d to 40 per lb. Rum, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.-For Lee w ard Island Rum the demand is still brisk, and a further ad vance in prices has taken place. The sales amount to 200 puns at 2s 41d to 2s 5 id for proof, and for small parcels of good brown ditto 2s 6d per gallon paid. For Jamaica the sales are 100 puns, 28 to 30 per cent over proof at 3s 7d to 3s 10d, 32 to 37 over 3s 1 ld to 4s 4d, superior 4s 6d to ss, and 20 puns high flavour 50 per cent overproof at 4s per gallon. Demerara at 3s 5d to 3s 6d for fine quality 38 to 41 per cent over, and in hhds at 3s 7d per gallon. Calcutta at is 2id to 2s 3d I p a e r r g g o a p l o r n o ,h purchasers .f, with d c r e s r t o i f fi c n a t r e a ; n d a y t a 2 r s e 2: 1 1 0 t there n a e r l e to submit to any decline in prices-Cognac, best brands of the vintage of 1838, Ws 5s 4d, puns 5s 2d ; do 1839, hhds 55 2d, puns ss; do 1840, hhds 5s Id, puns 43 9d, 1 l p ; o do s 4 1 s d8471,,mid hhds t s o s , goodpuns mid4s 3 1 O s d 3d; do to 1 4 8 3 4 6 2 d, , hhds and 4s low 2s I Id to 3s id per gallon. Geneva at is 10d to Is 11d, for fine fit for duty prices remain at 2s 6d to 3s 6d. Corn Spirits at lOs 4d per gallon, cash. FRUIT.-By the latest accounts received from the Morea and the islands that the Currant crop had been seriously injured by the heavy rains, the merchants generally withdrew their parcels from the market, awaiting further intelligence by the next mail, but still t t h h o e r g ro c stocksers ,generallytransactions do not a i p n p ear s i e n q c u h e n n e e d e t o in crease only to a limited extent. SAGO.-Prices rule firm, and none has been offered at auction ; the demand by private contract, however, has been limited, at 13s to 165 for low to mid Pearl, 17s to 20s for good mid to good, and 21s to 24s per cwt for fine. Of Sago Flour some parcels have been disposed of by private contract at full rates. There is still a large supply of Arrowroot. COCHINEAL-At suction liondunts fine bold Silvers at 4s lld to ss * , low to bold Black 4s 10d to 5s 8d ; Vera Cruz mid Silvers rather damp 4s 6d to 4s 7d, and low to mid Black 4s 10d to 4s Ild per lb. INDlGO—Although the large quantity of 12,172 chests of East India is declared fur public sale on the Bth of October, with every prospect that it will be greatly in creased, still holders manifest firmness, and home and export buyers are desirous to purchase. Bengal good and fine kinds from 4s 6d to 5s 3d per lb. Picked lots are selling at a profit of 3d to 4d. Madras, Kurpah and Oudes are wanted, and some parcels have been sold at from last quarterly sales rate, to a small advance. Bengal has been sought after, but a further advance in prices being required has operated against business. SALTPETRE.—Importers of Rough show firmness, and have refrained from offering any at auction this week. This afternoon it was much inquired for, and stiffer rates paid ; a parcel of Calcutta sq per cent was sold at 26s 6d, and sales of common of high refraction were made at 24s 6d to 25s per cwt. RlCE.—There has been a considerable increase in the demand for Bengal this week. At auction fine white pearly at 12s, good Ils 6d to 12s, good mid Ils to lls Gd, mid lOs Gd to lls, sea dam Ist class lls, 2d do 9s 6d to lOs Gd, 3d do 7s Gd to Bs, 4th do 6s, and Indigo da maged lOs 6d to lls 6d per cwt.

Yellow Madras at 8s to its 6d per cwt. This afternoon East India Rice met with less attention ; Madras at 9s 6d to lOs for low mid white Bengal kind, and mid at 10s to lOs 6d, being the full value. Ons.—There has been a brisk demand for Southern Oil this week, and although the market has been largely supplied, still an advance in prices of 15s to 20s per tun has taken place ; at auction 381 casks equal to 300 tuns were all disposed of at 311 lOs to 321 5s for good to fine quality ; and by private treaty some parcels have been sold at 281 to 301 for common.

For delivery in the last three months of the year several contracts have been entered into at 42s per cwt. Town Tallow at 40s 6d to 41s nett cash. SANGUINARY AND BRUTAL ASSAULT. Late on Saturday evening last a number of Irish men, who are at present employed at the iron-works near Kilbirnie, called at a public-house kept by a respectable old man named Peter Hughes, on the road to Dalry, and ordered some whisky. After they had been supplied, they rose to go without having paid for the spirits. Hughes attempted to detain them, when the miscreants set upon him an I his wife, and commenced beating and mal treating them in a most shameful manner. The cries of the old people brought a neighbour to their assistance, and on his attempts to interfere he was likewise attacked with equal fury. The son of this person, a stout young man, came in at this juncture, and having seized a poker, he knocked se veral of the ruffians down one after another, but was at length overpowered, and the poker taken from him. He with difficulty escaped from their hands, and having returned with some of the noighbours, whom he had called to the rescue, they found the whole of the windows burst in, and the furniture broken to pieces. Hughes and his wife were in a state of in sensibility; the former had his legs broken, and his body covered with contusions ; his wife also had been dreadfully maltreated ; and the young man's father had his skull fractured, and was otherwise very much bruised. The whole three remain in a very precarious state. The county police were speedily on the alert, and early on Sunday morning suc ceeded in capturing four persons, who un derwent an examination before a magistrate on Sunday. Two of them were instantly identified by the young man, and their persons bore the marks of the blows he had inflicted on them with the poker. The party who made the attack consisted of seven, and it is expected that they will all shortly be in cus tody. Four very suspicious characters, whose accent betrayed that they were Irish, were seen on the grounds of Grangehill, belonging to Captain Reid, on Sunday morning; but before the police arrived, they had disappeared. They are strongly suspected to have been of the party ; and it is said the clothes of one of the four were stained with blood. 'We under stand that the inhabitants of the district complain greatly of the riotous conduct of some cf the parties engaged at the iron-works ; and it is hoped measures will be adopted to prevent the recurrence of such out rages.—Scotch Paper. SUBMARINE OPERATIONS j which was most dangerous to ships' anchors-1 ° AGAINST THE WRECK OF THE EDGAR AT situated. A number of small anchors has also SPITHEAD. sent up by the divers, probably belonging to flsbr ito g These have been proceeding with great vigour boats that have become entangled fr , .,rn time to under the able and zealous superintendence of Lieu- in the remains of the Edgar, owing to the iliac tenant Barlow, the executive engineer. The great position of the wreck buoys. The Edgar taus' 7 0 , t , mass of timber imbedded in mud, composing the , sunk with her head to the eastward, because her,,, centre of the hull of the Edgar, which was discovered der, which is now on board the Success, nearly n,, on the 23d of May, and which from an accurate sur- feet, was found to the westward of the wreck of . vey taken by that officer stood 13} feet higher than hull.

This year, it was found that wrt et . frequent small explosions. The quantity of gunpow- might be distinctly read at the bottom ; for al te , der expended in this manner, from the commencement sage on a piece of parchment, sent down by Ver o , of the season to Saturday, the 17th instant, inclusive, nant Barlow on deck to Lieutenant Fairholme b e t o was more than 3,900 lbs. Amongst the large masses was read, and an appropriate reply in writing 01 _ 1 „ er , of wreck recovered, the greater part of which has same piece of parchment was sent up by the Is;: r , been piled either on the watering island in the dock- who was provided with a pencil. It was f ou nd,, yard behind the rigging -house, or on the island in the wards, that very small print may be read distinc_'olo harbour, near Clarence victualling-yard, 40f feet at the bottom, but pencil-marks, made on cow' length of the keel has been sent up. Thirteen more paper or on a card, become obliterated. guns have been recovered since our last notice of thesT, operations, of which nine were sent up in one week, from the Bth to the 13th of July. The first of these guns was discovered by sweeping, and the others found not far from it, at the distance of from twenty to twenty-five fathoms nearly north-east of the two lighters then moored over the hull. Of these guns Corporal Jones sent up four, viz., one 32-pounder, two 18-pounders, and one 12 .pounder. Lance-Cor poral Girvan sent up one 32-pounder, and one 6-pounder; and Private Herbert, of the East India Company's Sappers and Miners, sent up two 18-pounders, and a very large fragment of a 24. pounder, wanting only three feet near the muzzle of its total length. On the 10th instant, the volunteer seamen of the Excellent, who had been practising diving for two months at Spithead, taking it in their turns for one day at, a time, ceased to be employed, and afterwards returned to their ship with a certificate from Major- General Pasley, chiefly in consequence of the favour able report of Lieutenant Barlow, but also partly from his own occasional observation, not only of their being well qualified as divers, and of their zeal and diligence as workmen, but also of their regularity and good conduct when off duty, and or the friendly manner in which they had behaved to the sappers and ' miners, riggers, and pensioners, and others employed in the same service. In this satisfactory communica tion, addressed to Sir Thomas Hastings, their com manding officer, the fact of one of their number, Quartermaster Germain, who took the place of one of the constant military divers when ill, having on that occasion sent up a piece of the keel of the Edgar, was noticed. Lieutenant Fairholme, R.N., an officer of the Excellent, also had authority from his com manding officer to remain at Spithead one week with Lieutenant Barlow, with the laudable view of learn ing the art of diving, as well as the use of the voltaic battery for submarine explosions, &c., and went re peatedly to the bottom, as Lieutenant Barlow had also done. On one occasion Lieutenant Fairholme met with one of the regular divers at the bottom, and from want of experience went round him before he returned to his own ladder, in consequence of which his breast or signal line became entangled with this man's, and on lseing hauled up his feet were upper most. This accident, which only caused him a tem porary headache, was another confirmation of the su• periority of Mr. Siebe's improved diving apparatus. Had the same thing happened with the original diving apparatus of Deane's pattern, in which the helmet is open at bottom, this valuable officer must inevitably have been drowned. An accident had previously occurred on the 12th of June, by an air-pipe separat ing from the pump on deck, whilst one of the volun teer seamen divers was at the bottom ; but no injury was done to the individual in consequence, as the safety valves with which that and all the other helmets had been fitted by General Pasley's directions, and which at the time were all in perfect order, prevented the air from escaping, and the man was drawn up perfectly unconscious that anything was amiss. The same accident happened to Lance-Corporal Girvan, on the 27th of July, whose air-pipe on deck separated from the pump, on which, being fully aware that something had gone wrong, he made the signal, and was drawn up sensible, but much injured, especially about the throat and head, as the air rushed violently out of his helmet, in the same manner as if no safety valve had been attached to it. General Pasley, on receiving the report of this accident—the third that happened in the course of three seasons from the same cause—was very much grieved, and at the same time surprised. The first two accidents alluded to were easily accounted for, as the helmets of the divers had not been all provided with safety-valves at that time. But this last accident at first appeared in some mea sure unaccountable, fur no report of the state of the helmet had been made in announcing it. But as soon as the helmet was carefully examined, the cause became apparent. Owing to the safety-valve not having been taken to pieces since the commencement of the sea son, it had become clogged with verdigris, so that it could not shut properly, and a great portion of the air was enabled to escape in consequence. Girvan was imme diately sent to Haslar Hospital, and, under the excellent advice and treatment there, is rapidly recovering, his general health fortunately not having been injured, and his eyes only remaining weak and bloodshot. After this accident, Lieut. Barlow had the safety valves of all the helmets taken to pieces and cleaned, and this practice which has thus been proved to be indispensable, will be repeated once a-week for the future. Before this occurred, even the divers them selves placed such confidence in these valves, that they were not aware of the necessity of overhauling them. Another accident, but of a less serious nature, after wards occurred to Private Sticklen. After having done his work at the bottom, whilst being hauled up by signal to the lighter whence he had descended, his helmet struck against a pig of ballast attached to a diver's rope-ladder hanging over the side, which broke one of his three glass eyes, so that the water rushing in filled his dress and rose nearly to the top of his helmet ; but, as this occurred near the surface, he sustained no injury or inconvenience, except swallow ing some salt water. Besides the volunteers of the Excellent, three vo lunteer seamen of her Majesty's ship Collingwood, now at anchor at Spithead, and carrying the flags of Rear-Admiral Sir George Seymour, were instructed in the art of diving under Lieutenant Barlow, and the system followed was personally inspected and ap proved by the Admiral himself, whose ship is provided with a complete diving apparatus. The air-dumps had always been examined and cleaned; the necessity of which, if neglected, constantly forces itself upon the attention of the divers and their assistants, but the state of the safety-valves, unless periodically exa mined, could only be known by an accident. Ile operations at Spithead were much impeded and retarded by such very violent gales of wind in the early part of the month of August, that the divers were prevented from working from time to time. The Success frigate, in which they were quar tered, rolled and pitched violently. The Drake sail ing lighter was obliged to take refuge in Portsmouth harbour, and the operation of sweeping for guns and wreck, which was carried on at all times when prac ticable, by Major-General Pasley's orders, was necessarily Suspended; but on the 23d of August when he again visited Spithead, he was pleased to find that an 18-pounder had been sent up that morning by private Sticklen, of the East India Company's Sap pers and Miners, which was discovered by sweeping at the distance of about 15 fathoms to the north-east of the lighter. Next day, when he repeated his visit, a large floor-timber, broken by some of the previous explosions, was sent up by Corporal Jones, who after wards took down a large crate, in which he sent up, besides staves of casks, &c., 91 shot of various sizes, chiefly 32-pounders, lying over a mass of shingle ; for no other sort of ballast was then used at the time when the Edgar was fitted out. It now seemed almost cer tain that the whole of the remaining woodwork would be removed this season ; but doubts were entertained as to the guns until the evening of that day, when, at . the last slack tide, a 32-pounder, discovered by sweep ing, was sent up by private Herbert, of the East India Company's service. This gun was found at the dis tance of about 80 fathoms to the northward of the position of the hull of the wreck, over which the lighters are moored, and only twenty fathoms south of the Success frigate hulk, and, as other guns had previously been found twenty fathoms south of the lighters, it follows that the explosion of the magazines of the Edgar had scattered the guns of that ill-fated vessel to the distance of 100 fathoms from each other. The cause of this explosion is as much a secret as the so-called invisible shell by which Captain Warner recently destroyed the John o'Gaunt off Brighton ; but the fact of the Edgar's guns being thrown to such unexpected distances by the force of gunpowder, which is not to be despised, l i renders it possible, that by extending the sphere of action of the boats employed in sweeping, most, if not all of the missing guns, may be discovered in the course of the season. The number of those now re maining at the bottom is nineteen whole guns, and three small fragments of guns broken to pieces by the explosion of the magazines • certainly not by any of the submarine charges fired by Lieutenant Barlow, ; to separate the parts of the wreck. The removal of the lighters from their moorings being exceedingly troublesome and inconvenient, they have remained in the same position over the hull of the Edgar ever since it was discovered, whilst a launch has been de- • tached to a distance with a diving apparatus to search for guns, which, if found, are got up by means of the masthead tackle of the Drake sailing lighter, In sweeping for guns and wreck a great number of sinkers, or large stones, by which the wreck buoys were moored, have been discovered, • and sent up from time to time by the divers, at considerable distances from each other, and even from the wreck ; for one of them, with 4 the skeleton of a buoy attached t o ' t rain and distance of 50 fathoms 4 was found at the here - ‘o the north- eas t o f the spot w remains of the hull—that part of the wreck rf ACCIDENTAL DEATH OF ; REV.

MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE. We have been furnished by a respectable corre spondent (who sends us his name, and who was an eye witness of the facts up to Sunday evening), with the following details of a melancholy and strange acci dent, caused by foul air : " On Saturday last, as a man named Scanlan, was raising earth on his land, at Gabard, about three miles from Ballybunion, county Kerry, he discovered the entrance to a subterraneous passage, which he en tered, accompanied by two other persons, but a con siderable time having elapsed without their re-appear ance, they were followed by six others, who went in for the purpose of bringing them out. Those, also, not ap pearing, the apprehensions of their friends, who were outside, became excited, and intimation of the circum stance having been conveyed to the Rev. Mr. En right, C.C., he immediately repaired to the spot and entered the cavity with a view of rescuing those who preceded, but he had not gone far from the entrance, when he fell senseless under the noxious influence of the atmosphere, and was with difficulty brought to the surface. The alarm of the by-standers now be came excessive, and further efforts having been made, three of those who had gone in were brought out ap - parently lifeless, but have since recovered. The scene at this time was heartrending, from the cries of the relatives of those who remained within, and this was further increased by the non-appearance of a man who ventured in in search of his son, against the entreaties of his friends. 4 , The Gunsborough police were in attendance during the night, and succeeded in bringing out the bodies of four, amongst whom was that of a man who went in search of his son, with the body of the latter clasped in his arms, having appar en tl y per i s h e d i n at tempting, to bring him out. Crowds of the country people having collected yesterday, renewed exertions were made to discover the bodies of two persons still missing, and, about five o'clock, three men having descended for the purpose, two returned in a state of exhaustion, leaving the third, who was unable to come with them, to share the fate of the others. "A number of men are engaged in excavating the ground, about twenty feet from the surface, hoping to reach the extremity of the cavern. This appears to be a work of great difficulty, as the opening is at the foot of a high bank on the side of a hill, and the passage leads downwards. Although the entrance is not more than two feet in diameter, the interior is lofty, and arched with masonry."—Lirnerick Reporter. ARUNDEL.—It is now quite certain that her Ma jesty will honour the Duke of Norfolk with a visit in the course of two months. Apartments are already being fitted up for her reception ; and we understand that the State liveries are in progress.—Brighton Gazette. THE Wmow OF BANIM.—We observe that most of our London and Dublin contemporaries have fallen into a mistake in saying that the mother of the late Mr. Banim is in reduced circumstances in consequence of the death of her grand-daughter, who had it persion from Government. The mother of Banim is long since dead, and it is his wife who is in distressed circumstances in consequence of the death of her daughter, who had a pension from Government. We think it is unworthy of any Government to be guilty of so paltry an act as to withhold a trivial support from the widow of the man whom it deemed worthy of a pension while he lived. It is unseemly that her few short years should be embit tered with poverty and distress. Indeed the Irish peo ple themselves, for the honour of their country, and of him who, though dead, yet lives and speaks in his impe rishable works, ought not to permit such a national dis grace to exist for one hour.—Limerick Reporter. ENGLISH NEWS FROM ADROAD.—The Augsburg Gazette of the 23d inst. publishes the following extract from a letter dated London, 16th inst. :—" Orders have just been given to arm several ships of war and frigates. The number of seamen at present receiving pay amounts to 36,000 men ; the war steamers represent a force of 13,500 horses. It is not doubtful that in six weeks a fleet would be ready to assemble at Spithead. The turn which affairs have taken between France and England favours the views of the Emperor of Russia. The pro posals made by that Sovereign when in London have been renewed by Count Nesselrode. lam assured that the French Government is fully informed on this subject. The Court of St. Petersburgh is said to have offered to the Queen of England an alliance offensive and defensive in case of war with France. The Emperor added, that he would place his entire land and sea force at the dis posal of the allied Powers. It is easy to divine the answer of the English Government. It expects that the Cabinet of the Tuileries will yield to the equitable and moderate representations of England, and that it will not be necessary to have recourse to war. If, however, tranquillity should be interrupted, it would be the in terest of all the European Governments to put an end to it as quickly as possible by displaying an imposing force. It is therefore beyond all doubt that in case of war there would be a Russian• English alliance." NEW HOPS.—We are informed by Messrs. Horton and Hart, that the first pocket of hops of the new growth was sold by them yesterday, at 91 121. per cwt.
