in our ranks, lam proud to say, some who have called forth the admiration of their superiors as well as that of their comrades, for good service rendered during the struggles in China, to which part of our career you have so emphatically alluded, and the honourable badge for which we have for the first time displayed upon our now sacred banners. Proudly do all of us look upon those insignia, as we, in conjunction with but a few others, as sisted to open the gates of commerce for our enterpris ing countrymen into a vast and mighty empire. You have so kindly made mention of the assistance that wo have received from Colonel Clive, and the officers and men of the Grenadier Guards, that I should be wanting in duty and feeling towards that splendid corps did I not echo every word you have said. Deeply and sincerely does the 49th Regiment feel when I say that approbation from you is of greater value, and will be more fondly cherished, than if we had received it from one who could not have added practice to theory. Then, in the name of the 49th, I thank you for the fostering care you have shown towards it since we have had the honour of serv ing under your command. The 49th then marched past in review order, quick and slow time, the band playing, and the new colours displayed. They were exceedingly beautiful, and in scribed with the names of the places where the gallant 49th have gained their laurels. There was a dinner to 900 soldiers on the ground, a magnificent dejuener to the officers and their ladies, and a ball for the men in the evening ; and there will be a ball at St. John's-house, given by the officers to the no bility and gentry, this evening. THE PENINSULAR MAIL. SOUTHAMPTON AUG. 27.—The Little Li v erp oo l, Peninsular and SOUTHAMPTON, Company's steam-ship, Cap tain Birnie, arrived in our docks this morning, at eleven o'clock. She brings the usual mails, and twenty-two passengers. The Little Liverpool brings very little information relative to the French and Morocco affair. Her Ma jesty's steamer Hecla arrived at Gibraltar on the eve of the departure of the Liverpool, with dispatches for Government. She reported that the French had taken a small island, within shell range of Mogadore, and were fortifying it with the intention of bombard ing that place. Matters are quiet at Tangiers. The Formidable, Sir Robert Owen, was at Gib raltar. The Vesuvius, steam-ship, left that place on the 18th for Mogadore. There were also two Danish frigates and a Danish steamer at Gibraltar. The Little Liverpool exchanged colours with a French brig of war on the 20th, and on the follow ing day with her Majesty's ship Caledonia. The Royal Tar left Lisbon on the 21st for the south. LISBON, AUG. 20.—This country is on the eve of a crisis, which must soon terminate, either in the downfal of Costa Cabral's power, or the triumph of his policy, by the restoration of absolutism. The decree respecting the judges which is, obviously, to render them completely dependent upon the Crown, has excited so much alarm, and raised so determined a spirit of opposition, that the Ministers will find it no easy matter to stand their ground against it. The Judges in the Supreme Court of Justice in this city (seventeen in number) have addressed a strong remonstrance to the Queen against the decree. Having met for the purpose of draw ing up the address, they previously in vited the Attorney-General, Mr. Ottolini, to be pre sent at the meeting, in order to state whatever rea sons he might have to allege in favour of the decree. That officer appeared accordingly, and instead of de fending the decree, acknowledged that he could not say a word in support of it, as it was manifestly a violation of the Constitutional Charter; but that, as a servant of the Crown, he could not sign the represen tation against it. The address of remonstrance hav ing then been put to the vote, and carried unanimously, was sent to the office of the Minister of the Interior, and Mr. Silva Carvalho, as President of the Supreme Tribunal, was deputed to proceed with a copy of it to Cintra, for the purpose of laying it before the Queen—a thankless office, as he soon found to his cost; for, besides having been most un graciously received by her Majesty, he was, on the very next day, dismissed from his situation as Presi dent of that Court. Similar addresses are in prepa ration from the Tribunal of Commerce and the other courts of justice, and although the Minister of Fo reign Affairs, Gomez de Castro, is gone to Oporto for the express purpose of preventing, if possible, a similar step on the part of the judges of that city, it is thought that they will follow the ex ample set by their Lisbon colleagues. But the " most unkindest cut of all," and, perhaps, the severest, has been from the Duke of Palmella, who, after some days' delay and apparent hesitation, at last went boldly to the Queen, and told her that, both as a member of the Privy Council, and as a Peer of the realm, he protested against th e measure , cons id er i ng it to e a mostglaring infraction of the charter. With all Cabral's energy, it is not likely that he will be able to overcome so powerful an array. The Cortes, which will meet next month, will soon decide the question, unless, indeed, Cabral should take it upon himself to prorogue the meeting for one month, or six months, or sine die, which is not at all unlikely. M. Gonzales Bravo, the new Spanish Minister to this Court, arrived here on the sth inst. AUG. 21.—The Royal Tar arrived yesterday from England, and the Liverpool came in this morning from the south, and will proceed with the mail at 4 r.m. to-day. Costa Cabral and his colleagues are determined not to give way ; in proof of which, this day's Gazette contains a republication of the obnoxious decree, ad dressed to the army in the form of an Order of the Day from the War-office. The reason of this is, that the same decree likewise attacks the independence of the military officers, inasmuch as it makes them liable to be put on half-pay without any form of court-martial, whenever it shall please the Govern ment so to do. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sza,—Observing in yesterday's paper that my pri vate Circular has found its way into your columns, with an introductory remark giving me credit for what I am not entitled to, I beg to mention that the public is mainly indebted, in the first place, to the exertions of Mr. Waghorn ; and, in the second place, to the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, for the establishment of the overland com munication with India. My only merit is the ga thering together the authentic information which my letter contains, and circulating it among my friends. Knowing its value to the public, I am rejoiced to see it obtain more extensive circulation through your columns, yet I should be sorry for any one to sup pose that I laid claim to a distinction I am not [en titled to.—l am, Sir, your very obedient servant, ALEXANDER F. RIDGWAY. 42, Leicester-square, 27th August, 1844. TRAVERS TESTIMONIAL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Six,—Permit me to suggest, through the medium of your valuable columns, to the subscribers towards a memorial to the memory of the late John Travers, Esq., that if the funds collected for that purpose were to be appropriated to the erection of additional " Reform Alms-houses" (with a suitable tablet), or in increasing the comforts of the present and future inmates of that valuable institution, instead of applying them, in any manner, to - Zhe " City of London Schools," it would be a far more appropriate testi monial to the memory of that 'staunch Reformer and truly benevolent man ; and I know of many who would cheerfully subscribe in the former case, but not in the latter.—l am, Sir, your most obedient servant, V. A. A., AN OLD REFORMER. Moorgate, Aug. 27, 1844. NEW INSOLVENT ACT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The mischievous law recently passed respect ing debtor and creditor, deserves to be branded for its infamy by every tradesman in the country. The pro tection afforded to trade before this Act came into power was fragile enough ; but, not content to allow things to remain as they were, our law-makers must needs again interfere, and cast to the wind the little security we had. I would inquire, who thanks my Lord Brougham for what he has done ? I would aver, not a trading m an i n E ng l an d— none w ill f ee l grrogue. If save the practised sharp er an d th e con fi r med If his Lordship supposes he h as ren d ere d the any tradeservice, he is mistaken altogether, and, with all his sagacity, in total ignorance of our position. One really ( imagine that a deputation from the Queen's Bench had d nd .of whose characters there can be no mistake)prot ee :zaited on his Lordship to insure his powerful on their behalf, and that he would be the means of the prison doors to all sorts of characters, an dl e irt n h g vi m it God speed. Do not, Sir, rank m e unmoved at the fact of a truly unfo r t u na te man being unfhortuthoste who are thrust into prison by an unfeeling butr and thereby not only separated from his family, pre vented doing what he might for the benefit ofh creditors, were he at liberty; doubtless many cases of is i this kind are to be met with ; and if his Lord s hi p had introduced a Bill to relieve or set at liberty such 1 characters, he would have been a blessing to the coun ty and a benefit to the trade. I quite agree with your Correspondent that it is high time the whole trading community "roused " themselves on this subject, and that associations should be formed in all the provincial towns for the purpose of collecting such facts as bear on this important ' subject. I find I have not quoted your Correspon dent's words correctly, but I believe I have given the spirit of them. Wishing these plain observations may meet the eye of those more versed in the matter, and who will bring it out fairly before the public, so that some practical result may follow that will act as an antidote to the evil now complained of, I have only to apolo gise for occupying so much of your space, and beg to subscribe myself, Si r , yours respectfully, :___ _ A Oxfccd-stre , q, Aug. 27, 1844. TRADESMAN. " GIBRALTAR, AuG. 18, ] 844. " Silt,—l have the honour to acquaint you that her MAJESTY'S steamer Hecla arrived this morning from Mogadore, bringing about thirty-five passengers from the west coast of Morocco, for which purpose she was dispatched, as reported in my communication of the Bth instant. She brings news of the bombardment of Mogadore, on the 15th instant, by the French squadron. The land forces were about disembarking to take possession of the small island near to it, when the Hecla left. Mr. WILLSHIRE, our Consul, and some other British subjects, were not allowed to em bark, owing to some local regulations relative to Custom-house engagements. Admiral Sir E. OWEN has dispatched the Vesuvius to Mogadore, where her MAJESTY'S ship Warspite was lying for the protection of British interests. "At Tangiers everything was quiet, and order prevailed. The markets were re-opened and trade resuming. The defences were about to be repaired. The savage tribes in the neighbourhood had dis persed. (Signed) "J. L. COWELL. " To W. DODSON, Esq., Secretary, LLOYD'S. " P.S. The Moors are reported to have fought with great bravery, and that they opened fire from the batteries, when they found the three line-of-battle ships were about to take up positions at two o'clock, P.M., on 15th inst. The cannonade lasted till near sunset, when the steamers towed off the large ships to the regular anchorage ground. At night there was firing between the contending parties till ten o'clock, when the Hecla departed, and till eleven o'clock at a distance firing was still heard. This firing was be tween the shore and the steamers with small French sailing vessels of war. The French had not attacked any other part on the west coast." The collision which, sooner or later, will take place between England and France, cannot be disguised. The Courts of the two countries are on the best terms; they are intermingled by marriage; they have, we believe, a real affection for each other, but public events and public feelings overpower all private relations, and unless some other line of policy is adopted by LOUIS PHILIPPE, there will be a general European war. This is a frightful prospect. All the arts of peace—all the communication between the two countries, the intermarriages, the friendly bonds of peace, and the community of feeling which prevailed between France and England on the accession of the Citizen King, will be abruptly destroyed. England would regret such a conaummation as much as France. She would undergo at once a vast change. Commercial transactions now in progress would be interrupted ; speculations of vast extent, and of high importance to the country, would be arrested; France would suffer in a ten-fold degree ; and all the ener gies of the two countries would be directed only to one object—mutual destruction. History has shown that, after great victories, the two countries retain nearly the same relative position. Is there any prospect that a fresh war would produce any other result ? England at no period of her history was ever more powerful than she is at the present moment. The nations of Europe and Asia admit the fact. Is France half so powerful as she was under NAPOLEON, when England, with crippled resources, set him and the whole Continental Powers under his control at defiance ? We have no wish to boast of our strength. Our only object is peace, and we trust France will not consider a brief statement of facts a bravado. Our navy is not mere helpless now than it was in the days of DUNCAN and NELSON. We have no mutiny at the Nore : there are ships in English harbours more nu merous than all the ships of the world besides. We have sailors too, in abundance ; and we have officers, also, that are too eager to enter into a deadly con test. France, without a commercial navy, cannot supply the Royal fleet with men ; a great victory, in the words of the Prince DE JOINVILLE, would de stroy the navy of France, and what then would be the result of a defeat ? But a new force has sprung up since the battles of the Nile and Trafalgar. Steam has produced wonders, and we ask the French, if any country in the world, or all the countries to gether, could muster such a steam fleet as England ? We have steamers of the first class, both in the royal and commercial navy, that could in a few months be adapted to every warlike purpose ; and those which could be put to sea—for we put river steamers out of the question--would, under proper management, be competent to capture every merchantman and every privateer that would venture from the ports of France. We do not put forth this statement as a boast. We mention it as a fact which cannot be disputed, and which is even ad mitted by the Gallant Prince► who is bombarding the towns on the Morocco coast, and exciting, we hope in ignorance, the most warlike feeling among both men and officers in the English navy. The cir cumstance is to be regretted, but who is to blame ? We have in no instance interfered with the interests of France. England had a just war with China, she avenged her wrongs, made peace with that coun try, and claimed no exclusive advantages. France was placed on the same footing with England at Canton, Ningpoo, and the other three ports, opened for the first time by British enterprise. Has France acted in the same way in Africa ? or can she com plain that England is alarmed when French guns, heard at Gibraltar, are battering down the forts of a friendly Power? The affair of Otaheite is a mere farce, but we may ask what right had the French to take possession of an island which had been virtually under English protection for fifty years, and expel a Consul or a missionary, we care not which, in a most ignominious manner ? It will be recollected, too, that the Prince DE JOINVILLE seized a pilot on board of an English vessel of war in a most unceremonious way in the Gulf of Mexico, and England was satisfied with a very slight apology. These are facts which the writers in the National, and Commerce, and Con,stitutionnel should remember ; and they should remember, also, that with the exception of the accidental death of a French fisherman on the coast of Newfoundland, for which England made every reparation, they cannot bring one charge of aggression, or conquest, or insult, com mitted in :any part of the globe. Louis PHILIPPE deserves every praise for the admirable manner in which he has restrained the belligerent disposition of the French for fourteen years, and thereby preserved the peace of the world. He has been aided by the Governments of England during that period, and England is still anxious for peace, but it must be a peace with honour. We cordially hope that the two countries will see their interests in a true light, and not heedlessly rush into a war which would benefit neither, and throw the whole of Europe into confusion HIGH WATER AT LONDON-BRIDGE THIS DAY. Horning ... 52 minutes after 1 I Evening ...15 minutes after 2 That popular Irish journal, the Nation, which is one of the ablest, as it is the most vehement advocate of Repeal, thus alludes to the reported visit of the Qum.; to Ireland, in the course of the approaching autumn :—" Her MAJESTY is coming to this country —coming to liberate the State prisoners, and allay the waves of agitation with the approved specific of oily words. So says the Evening Mail. Let her come; she will learn with her own eyes, which are full of woman's keenness, how basely her Ministers deceived her, and how much more ignorant and in capable are the servants in her Cabinet, than in her kitchen and her stable. We do not seek a Royal visit, and we do not repel it. It can not depress the hopes and the labours of the people (what can or shall ?) and it cannot crown them with triumph. As for the State prisoners, it is the QUEEN'S undoubted prerogative to send them back to their labours for Ireland. If she does, they are ready to march from Richmond prison to Burgh Quay, and fall into their accustomed places, like rested men bound to do double work. From them, as from every true man in Ireland, she will learn that it is no boon to terminate an injustice; and if it were, that all the favours it is England's to bestow or refuse, would not turn the Irish people from their solemn purpose." The cold, un gracious, and —we may even add— churlish spirit that pervades the above paragraph will be confined, we trust, to a very small portion of the Irish people; the majority will regard her MAJESTY'S visit with far different feelings, and regard it as an indication of her kindly disposition towards the sister country, and of her determination to judge for her self of the state of things there. Thus thinking, all true-hearted, loyal Irishmen will no doubt welcome their young SOVEREIGN with enthusiasm, for it can not be but that her visit will be followed by the most ausßielous results to the interests of Ireland She will THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 2B, 1844. not come like GEORGE the FOURTH', merely to gratify a puerile love of pomp and ceremony, but to convince her Irish subjects that she has their welfare deeply at heart, and is not the less solicitous to pro mote that welfare, because—in common with every reflecting and dispassionate individual in the three kingdoms—she discountenances the wild, impractica ble project of Repeal, which—if by any remote possibi lity it could be carried—would, as a necessary conse quence, be attended with the most ruinous conse quences to the empire, and especially to Ireland, which would be the chief sufferer. If the great object of the Repealers be the promotion of the interests of the sister country, surely they must know and feel that those interests will be materially advanced by the presence of their QUEEN among them ; for the very first effect the Royal visit will have, will be to soften tie bitterness of party spirit, and also to impress upon 'Ministers—who, as a mat ter of course will adopt the tone of their august Mis tress—the expediency of pursuing a more just and conciliatory policy towards Ireland than they have hitherto thought fit to pursue. The Repealers, there fore—if their object be as patriotic as they profess it to be—should be among the foremost to welcome the arrival of the QUEEN among them with enthusiasm, even though it should have the effect, which we con fidently trust it will have, of weakening the clamour for repeal, and rendering it a more impracticable pro ject than ever. The Greek Observer of the 10th of August pub lishes a decree proclaiming a political amnesty in the following terms : " Otho, by the Grace of God King of Greece,—Upon the proposition of our Council of Ministers we have de cided and do ordain— " Art. 1. We grant an amnesty to those who have taken a part in the insurrectionary movement which took place in Acarnania and in Western Greece during the months of May and June last. "2. Theodore Grivas, Protopapa, Demetrius, Tar casica, Nicolas I. Sollio, Costulla, Chasapi, Constant Colocytha, Sp. Macristate, and Costa Capo Georgachi are excepted from the benefit of this decree. "3. We reserve, should it become necessary, the exercise of our Royal clemency to the persons excepted after their judgment. " Athens, July 31, 1844. " (Countersigned) " MAVROCORDATO, A. LONDOS, C.

The QUEEN had arrived at Aranj uez on that day, where s'ae would stop for the night, and make her way into the capital next day. General NARVAEZ, accompanied by the French Ambassador, had also arrived, and his presence, it is said, prevented a pronunciamento which was to have taken place on the day of his arrival. On the 18th, the holders of titles of the Floating Debt and of Treasury Bills met at the San Fernando Bank, to agree with that establishment as to the conversion of their securities. According to the Tiempo, they were disposed to submit to a conversion into Three per Cents., provided the pay ment of the interest be guaranteed to them. The same journal, in reference to the deplorable financial state of the country, says— " The Committee appOinted to propose a new system of taxation, in order to meet the demands of the State, has published its report, which declares that, in order to meet with punctuality and exactitude all the obliga tions of the State, the sum of 400,000,000 of reels is indispensably necessary ; and that this deficit cannot be met but by making great reductions in the expenditure, particularly in the army expenses, and thus diminishing the debt." The Heraldo thus announces the object of Mr. BULWER'S journey to Morocco : " The Government not being satisfied with the repara tion given to Spain by the Emperor of Morocco, who avoids replying to several of our demands, the Minister of Great Baitain at Madrid has proceeded directly to Morocco, in order to put a period to those differences, and effect a satisfactory solution of our quarrel with t h at empire. The journey of Mr. Bulwer is also connected with the differences existing between France and our African neighbours." may be discouraged, and abandon Abd-el-Kader, who only brings them def e at. U n f or t una t e ly, the Marshal does not appear to be in a condition to reap any advan tage from the blow which he hai just struck—to assume the offensive vigorously, and to pursue to the la't extre mity the Emir, against whom we have hitherto only hurled an ultimatum. If it 133 necessary to again tem porise, the Arabs will recover from their fright. Perhaps they will not attack us for the future in a pitched battle, but will wage a war of razzias, will ruin our allies, and occupy the attention of our troops, by dividing them. Meanwhile, this new success of our brave army of Africa will cause in France a universal satisfaction. Public curicsity is greatly excited, and, without doubt, the re port of Marshal Bugeaud will soon be published as fully as possible, to gratify it." THE BOURSE—MONDAY, AUGUST 26.

We hear, from what we believe good authority, that her Majesty and Prince Albert intend to pay a visit to Scotland in the course of a fortnight. They will go on board the Royal Yacht about the 9th inst., and during their progress visit Blair, Athol, Dunkeld, and Taymouth. Prince Albert's taste for field sports, and the shooting which Scotland's mountains afford, with the vivid remembrance of last year's pleasurable excursion, hare been the great inducements to this royal trip. Her Majesty will be absent about three weeks, and will on her return go to the Isle of Wight. If this be the fact, and that it is the present intention of Royalty, we have not the slightest doubt the visit of Louis Philippe cannot take place until October, if then ; nor can the Queen set foot in Ireland this summer. THIS DAY'S NEWS DEATH of LORD KEANE, G.C.B and K.C.H. We are sorry to announce the death of this distin guished officer, the gallant captor of Ghuznee. His Lordship died of dropsy on the 26th. He was a Lieutenant-General in the army, and Colonel of the 43d Foot. It will be remembered that he was created first Baron Keane, of the United Kingdom, as a reward for distinguished military services in Affghanistan, and especially at the storming of the formidable fortress of Ghuznee. He was the second son of the first Sir John Keane, Bart., by his first wife. He became a Major-General in 1814; a Lieutenant- General in 1830. In addition to the military honours conferred upon him, as above mentioned, he received the distinction (See Dodd's "Peerage and Baronetage") of a cross and two clasps forhis services as Lieutenant- Colonel of the 13th Foot at Martinique, and as Colonel in command of a brigade at Vittoria, Pyrenees, Ni velle, Orthes, and Toulouse. His Lordship is suc ceeded, we believe, in his title, by the lion. Richard Arthur Wellington Keane, now (second) Lord Keane, who was aide-de-camp to the late Lord when he was in command of the army of the Indus. The French papers, brought by the ordinary ex press, contain little intelligence of importance. The Commerce and Constitutionnel, some days since, stated that the KING had abandoned the intention of visiting England this season. The Globe contra dicts the report, and says, " not the slightest change has taken place in the intentions relative to the KING'S visit; as, however, it was never meant to take place before the beginning of October, it; is easy to conceive that the preparations ,are not very active at this moment." The same Ministerial journal contra dicts another statement made by the Revue de Paris, about a proposition of M. GUIZOT to the British Ca binet, relative to Otaheite, and adds, " Otaheite is now under the regime of the Protectorate, which opens its ports to the vessels of all nations, and of course the commerce of England and France will be on a footing of equality, for they are so at this moment. As to Mr. PRITCHARD, the Revue de Paris forgets that it was decided nearly six months ago that he should not remain at Otatheite in the quality of Consul." Most of the journals contain articles on the battle of Isly, and throw the whole blame on the Moors. The Journal des Debats thus adverts to the brilliant victory gained by the French:— " This battle of Isly, as the Marshal has named it, ap pears to have been a serious affair, and more important than any in which our troops have been hitherto engaged in Africa. The results of it ate remarkable ;an army of 20,000 cavalry beaten and completely routed ; the cap ture of several camps, covering over a league in extent ; 11 pieces of cannon, 16 standards, and the tent of the Morocco Prince, fallen into our hands, are the material and tangible proofs of an incontestible victory, and of a serious engagement. " The enemy had surrounded our little corps d'armee on every side, and it was necessary to cut a way through the masses of cavalry ; it was necessary to conquer on every side, and the words sensible losses,' contained in the dispatches prove that a t n he en v e ie m to y ry ad l• was t feodr to s o m be e v t i e m r y e ardent dispute a d n w d it v h er3 v , l i g n o t u re r p h id y . " War has, therefore, been opened in the most per fidious manner by the Morocco Government, even at the very moment when the Sultan, his sons, and his Kaids were professing the most peaceful intentions. If this Government had had the slightest good faith Abd-el- Kader, with his 1,200 horsemen, would not now be the arbiter of destiny on the frontier, for this handful of men, lost in the masses which the Morocco commanders have under their orders, would have been easily dis armed. But, on the contrary, these princes and dig nitaries seem to have come only as the auxiliaries of our enemy, and as if to prove that they were as much so as he is. All were thus deceived, but we must no longer be so deluded. Abderrahman is as much ruled by his own fanaticism as a Mussulman, as by that of his sub jects, and it is evident that the degree of wisdom which has been attributed to him is not sufficient to enable him to resist this double excitement. Abd-el-Kader is the champion of our religious and political faith, and we can never admit these Christian dogs to be in the right.' Such, in fact, is the manner in which through out Islam the rights of nations are interpreted so far as they concern Christian Europe." The Courrier Francais, elated by the success of both the land and sea forces, urges the Government to follow up the success, and not trust to the "per fidious mediation " of England : "It is but little to conquer ; the point is, to profit by the victory. Shall our land army possess more liberty of action than our squadron ? The Prince de Joinville is free to mark his promenade along the coasts of Mo rocco by a succession of cannonades and ruins, but he is forbidden to set his foot on land. Marshal Bugeaud is quite at liberty to make an advance on the enemy, which swells its numbers, and to spare it the half of the way, but he is prohibited, without doubt, from penetrating too far into the hostile territory. No matter, our bravo army of Africa, directed by excellent officers, and by the skilful Marshal, has just given a rude lesson to the Sultan of Morocco, whilst the cannons of our ships of war sweep the shores of his empire. Each defeat will deaden th e f anat i cism of his subjects—obstinately bent as they are on the holy war—and the more the Sultan is physically beaten, the more he is morally the conqueror of Abd-el-Kader. By dint of ill-treating him we g ive him the power of negotiating. This kind of diplomacy is more efficient than the perfidious mediation of Eng land, who, under pretext of inducing him to adopt a pacific disposition, has perhaps encouraged his audacity and strengthened his irresolution. Here we have Morocco at last attacked by our arms ! Whatever the jealousy of England the pusillanimity of our diplomacy may do, the glory will remain to us of having given the first blow to this last sanctuary of Mussulman barbarism, and to have prepared a new progress in civilisation. That sword of France which shone in Egypt, and brought Algeria under subjection, will not have struck Morocco with impunity—to it will be ascribed the honour of having forced Northern Africa, from east to west, to enter into treaties with Europe." The remarks of the Constitutionnel are of a more mild character, but still the writer cannot conceal his jealousy of England : " The news of this brilliant action of Marshal Bugeaud and our troops arrives opportunely. It serves as an answer to the declarations and threats of the English press. As to Morocco, we strongly desire, without how ever hoping it too much, that this victory may produce there a ealgtary impression of terror, and that the tribes BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.) IN THE NATTER OF EDWARD EDWARDS. In this case the bankrupt had carried on business as a draper in the City-road, and this day had been ap pointed to receive proofs of debt and to choose assignees. Several amounts, constituting in the aggregate between 4001. and 5001. were proved, the creditors being either bankers or wholesale warehousemen in the City. Mr. Thomas Scales, of the house of Scales and Co., Milk street, was chosen assignee, and an allowance of 21. a-week was made to the bankrupt out of the estate. SECONDARIES.-(THIS DAY.) Mr. Secondary James sat in the Court, Basinghall street, this day, at eleven, and heard the cases, but neither of them contained any point of interest to any except the parties concerned. GUILDHALL.—(THIS DAY). Frances Farrell and Richard Rowland were placed at the bar, the latter on a charge of being " drunk and in capable," and the former with robbing him while in that state. The worthy Rowland stated that he was a tailor, and had been holding " Saint Monday" EO religiously, that he had got drunk in consequence. While in that state he was put into a cab, and the female, with whom he had been drinking, there robbed him of from Bs. to 10s. The constable said that the female was searched at the station-house, and 7s. 6d. found upon her. The latter prisoner was discharged, and then put into the witness-box, but he could give no evidence, as the preceding evening was a blank in his memory. Alderman BROWN said that, under the circumstances, he could do nothing to the female, and she was, there fore, discharged. MARYLEBONE.—(THIS DAY.) William Taylor, a lad about fifteen years of age, was charged by his mother and sister with having obtained money and clothes from the latter, and from another sister, on pretence that he was sent by his mother. It appeared from the statement of his mother that he was continually in the habit of pilfering articles from her dwelling and selling them. Mr. RAWLINSON asked Mrs. Taylor if she intended to prosecute her own child ? Mrs. Taylor answered in the affirmative, as she did not know what to do with him. He was remanded for a week. John Gray was charged with stealing five sacks of coals from his employer, Mr. Hicks, a solicitor and coal merchant, in Kentish -town. It appeared that the pri • soner, who had been in the service of Mr. Hicks for eight years, was directed to convey six loads of coals of eight sacks each from Mr. Wood's wharf, at Kentish town, to the premises of Mr. Hicks. On every journey, except the first, he " dropped " a sack of coals at his own residence. He did not deny taking the coals, but said he intended to pay for them. He was remanded for a week to give the prosecutor, who is in the country, and who was represented by his son, time to attend. QUEEN-SQUARE. —(THIS DAY.) George Thomas Young, a young man of very dejected appearance, was placed at the bar before Mr. Burrell; charged with breaking open a safe in the area of No. 26, Cadogan-street, Chelsea, and stealing therefrom a piece of beef, weighing 2lbs., and a proportionate quantity of bacon. Policeman Henry Hill, No. 176 B, deposed that whilst he was on duty this morning about five o'clock, in Cadogan-street, he noticed that the safe in the area of No. 26 had been forced open. On looking down he per ceived the prisoner crouching down in the coal-hole. He called out to him, and he tried to make his escape, but he was eventually taken into custody. The meat which was taken from the safe was found in the coal cellar. The prisoner, in extenuation, said he was very hungry at the time, and he wanted something to eat. He was committed for trial. UNION-HALL. —(THIS DAY.) Peter M' Walter, a well-dressed young man, was charged before Mr. Cottingham, with robbing several public-houses on the south side of the river. Mr. Carter, landlord of the King's Head, in the Borough, stated that on Sunday night the prisoner en gaged a bed at his house. That he remained in the house until between four and five o'clock the next day, at which time the chambermaid, having occasion to go up stairs, found the prisoner on his knees in one of the bedrooms. This circumstance excited her suspicion, and on entering she found that her box had been broken open, and that a sovereign, some silver, and various other articles had been taken. The prisoner was given into custody on the spot, and the whole of the articles were found in his pos session. The barmaid of the Hero of Waterloo was next exa mined, and she stated that on Sunday night the prisoner engaged a bed at the house, and when he want away the next day, it was discovered that he had entered her bed room, broke open her drawers and her box, and plun dered them o f money, together with several' articles of jewellery, some of which were found in his possession when he was taken into custody at the King's Head. A skeleton key was also found on him which fitted the lock of the bar-maid's door. The prisoner said that his friends were respectable, in Ireland ; that he had received a sum of money from them to proceed to America ; but, instead of doing so he cam e t o L ondon, spent all his cash, and was reduced to poverty. He added that he had nothing to say in answer to the charge. Mr, COTTINGIIA M said that a great number of public houses had been robbed by a welt-dressed man ; that he intended to cenruit the prisoner for trial, on the two charges preferred against him ; but that he should re mand him till Saturday, to give other parties robbed an opportunity of attending. His Excellency Count and Countess St. Aulaire and suite are expected to arrive in the French capital on the Ist of September, from his chateau at Perigord, in Normandy, and it is probable that the Ambassador will resume his diplomatic duties at our Court in the course of the ensuing month. It is understood that no official intimation as to the period of his Majesty the King of the French's visit to this country has yet been received at the Embassy, and it is not expected that anything positive on the subject will transpire until the arrival of the French Royal Family at the Chateau d'Eu, near Dieppe. Count Louis de Noailles, Secretary to the ZUl' busy, is on leave of absence on the Continent. . . MONEY AND COMMERCIALNE WS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

There have been several letters received from Alexan dria this morning, in which contradictory statements are made in relation to the posture of political affairs in that country. One thing is at least certain, the Pacha has successfully checked a movement, which, at his de cease, would have rendered the succession doubtful, and perhaps have caused much bloodshed. There are not any colonial arrivals of moment to-day. In the Stock Exchanges there has been no great deal of animation this morning, in consequence of the news received by express of the bombardment of Mogadore by the French fleet, and of the occupation by them, of the island. The Bears were early in full feather, and sold at first with vigour, but they could only depress the prices of Consols about per cent. Their courage soon cooled, and many closed their bargains at the profit that was within their grasp. A rally soon took place in consequence to 99q i. The Commissioners bought 5,0001. Reduced Three per Cents, at 99g. The premium upon Exchequer Bills has advanced to 77. Bank Stock is firm at 1991, and India Stock heavy at 281. In the Three-and-a-Half per Cents. the reduction in the prices were limited to -I , per cent. The quotations of the Foreign Funds have varied but a shade to-day.

" BAYONNE, AUG. 26, HALF-PAST Two O'CLOCK. " MOGADORE, AUG. 17. " THE PRINCE DE JOINTILLE TO THE MINISTER OF MARDiE. " On the 15th w•e attacked Mogadore. " After having destroyed (ecrase) the town and its batteries, we took possession of the island and of the port. " Sixty-eight men, including seven officers, were killed or wounded. lam busied in establishing the garrison of the island. I have placed the port in a state of blockade. " Attested copy, " Baron DE MACKAU, Vi^e-Admiral, Peer of France, Minister of Marine and Colonies." The news of this victory following so quickly after that gained by Marshal BUGEAUD, has naturally caused great joy among the war party in Paris, who now dream only of conquests. It has had a different effect, however, on the moneyed interest, and caused a fall of about 15 centimes. On Monday the Three per Cents., at the close of the Bourse, were quoted at 80f. 70c., but after the telegraphic dispatch became known they fell to 80f. 55c. This is no great fall however, and it is not at all improbable that the spe culators have hopes that the two events will have a favourable effect, and bring affairs to a settle ment. The Emperor of MOROCCO must see that his troops have no chance against the skill, discipline, and bravery of European soldiers, and as the French fleet has established itself at Moga dore, only 130 miles from his capital, he will, probably, find it more convenient to yield to the demands of the French. It is a most unfortunate circumstance that he has allowed the contest to proceed so far, taking it for granted that the terms proposed were at all reasonable. Of this, however, w e cannot speak with any certainty, for the French have kept the negotiations and the con ditions demanded so secret, that it is impossible to come to any conclusion as to the real merits of the dispute. One thing is certain, these victories cannot fail to excite a strong warlike feeling in France, and render any equitable settlement a matter of great 1 difficulty. The following has been received at LLOYD'S this morning : MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN-EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY. Since Monday the arrivals of English Wheat have been very limited, and the show of samples of that ar ticle was small. The finest qualifies were mostly sold at full prices. In other kinds exceedingly little was passing. Foreign Wheat was in good supply, and heavy demand, at barely late rates. No English Barley was on offer, but the supply of Foreign was good. The de mand for this article, as well as for all kinds of Malt, was in a very sluggish state, at barely previous rates.

DISTRESSING CASE OF MISS JOHNSON.—It will be in the recollection of our readers that there appeared in The Sun a few clays since an account of the distress ing case of two young ladies named Johnson, who were lodging at the house of Mr. Stainsbury, 27, Charlotte street West, White Conduit-fields, where they endea voured to procure a livelihood by opening a small school, and where one of them died absolutely from starvation. We have seen a gentleman who called on the surviving sister last evening for the purpose of con veying to her the donations of himself and a few friends. He instituted minute inquiries into the circumstances of the case, and states that the account which has appeared is correct in every particular. We trust that some means may be found to provide a permanent home for this young lady, who, overwhelmned with grief at the loss of her sister is dependant alone upon casual bounty to rescue her from the same horrible fate. CURRENCY MOVEMENT, DUMFRIES, AUG. 20. Mr. J. B. - O'Brien delivered two lectures in the Trades Hall here, on the evenings of Friday and Saturday last, to pretty numerous and attentive, nay, enthusiastic au diences,—subjects, the Corn •laws, the Currency, and the Land. The most important of these questions, that of the Currency, was a new one t o th e peop l e, and it certainly could not have fallen into better hands; for, as the able lec turer skilfully unfolded, and laid bare to the vision of the most obtuse, the cunningly devised system by which those at the top of the social tree have been enabled to reduce the industrious to thraldom worse than Egyp tian, the shouts by which he was ever and anon in terrupted, demonstrated that he has succeeded in bringing down to the comprehension of a popular as sembly, one of the most intricate, and, to a tyro, most dry questions in the wide range of political science. On the corn-laws he was equally at home. This visit of the " schoolmaster" has done much good, in turning the attention of the inhabitants to the root of the evil ; and we trust that those who have influence with the masses, will take advantage of the impression produced by Mr. O'Brien, to confirm, by the circulation of cheap publications—those recommended by that gen tleman (the tracts of the Society for the Emancipation of British Industry) among the rest—the views so suc cessfully inculcated, and assist the growth of the good seed sown under such happy auspices. —Correspondent of the Sentinel. A Government iron steamer, of 700 tons burthen, intended for Otaheite, has just been launched at Bordeaux. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Vitttatt Optition. " Who runs may read." PORZIGN.
