a public nature, felt it right to sacrfice his feel ings of personal resentment. This, however, is, we fear, beyond the understanding or feeling of the journal alluded to. Let us then address ourselves to the remark complained of, that if Sir W. Molesworth has the feelings of a gentleman, he must be gratified by the perusal of the memorial addressed by Lord Brudenell to his Majesty. How sunk must be the soul of him who can see in this expression any thing annoying to the feeling of a man of honour ! Sir H. Hardinge, speaking from personal knowledge of a document, submitted by a man of unquestionable character and courage to the King, who is constitu tionally the " fountain of honour,"—Sir H. Hardinge says, that if he to whom he addresses himself has the feelings of a gntleman, he will be gratified by the pe rusal of the document in question. ' It is really a mat ter of some difficulty, now that the usages of the House of Commons have been adorned by the flowers of radical rhetoric, to say what is the line of remark which the Government -ruling power may deem most consonant to their feelings. But we—mindful of what once was the tone pervading that assembly—should have imagined that such a man as Sir H. Hardinge, assuring such a man as Sir W. Molesworth, that the reading of any evidence must be pleasing to him, if he had the feelings of a gentleman—and be it always re membered that Sir H. Hardinge added, that he doubted not the Hon. Baronet was in possession of those feel ings—this assurance, we say, was of a co mpli m entary character, and probably, on this very account, it was utterly misconceived. Calmly we wish to ask any of our readers, whether it be possible for a moment to doubt that the distinguished General who thus, with his characteristic determination, stood forward to shield a British officer from party persecution, could have condescended to a misrepresentation of facts, on which it was competent to every Gentleman who heard him to decide ? Who—we should be glad to learn—among the haters of Lord Brude nell, can boast of that undoubted service, that devoted attachment, that enthusiastic interest in the honour and character of the British army, for which Sir Henry Hardinge has inherited the Royal title of the " Soldier's Friend ?" The illustrious Prince to whom the British army was so much indebted, may very naturally have possessed greater powers of effecting his heartful object ; but we with confidence appeal to every man competent to form a judgment, whether the unceasing attention to the welfare and glory of the British army which in the period of exer tion and the repose of peace Sir Henry Hardinge has invariably evinced, could possibly have permitted him to sacrifice the interests of the service to any consi deration whatever ? Who would dare to• say so ? Then are we to deprive an officer, who, by the admis sion of every military man who spoke on the question, is one of the most eificient, most zealous, most devot edly attached gentleman that ever embraced the pro fession—are we to deprive him of the advantage of that testimony which, to whomsoever borne, ought to be of conclusive honour, and which, in this instance, was borne, we sincerely believe, rather from feelirws of general sympathy than of private intercourse. The Government paper to which we, in the consideration of this Noble Lord's re-instatement, have principally alluded, has, with a bungling genius peculiar to its clumsy trade, attempted,to associate Lord Brudenell's restoration with the question of the proposed promo tions, which we have urged as advisable, should corporal punishments be, as we trust they will be, abolished in the British army. The fervent partisan and feeble reasoner in question delivers himself as follows : The single case of Lord Brudenell, if shalr eases could not be quoted in scores, proves that the present system of pandering to the aristocratic classes actually makes them unworthy of the places they fill, and is equally injurious to them and to the public. Let us, therefore, insist on the abolition of flogging as a certain means of improving the character of both men and officers." The "therefore" in this passage we leave to the en joyment of those who are fund of amusing conclusions. But we have one word of serious observation to make on the line of remark pursued throughout the article terminated by this luminous quotation. The object of the writer is to prove that the noblemen and gentlemen of England are not so (Ancient a class of officers as could be raised from the ranks of the army. In reply to this observation, we will not be be trayed into any remark inconsistent with the calm consideration by 'which we have endeavoured to invite public attention to the general interests of the British army. But we tell this writer, and all persons who agree with him, if any such there be, that he misconceives, not only the constitution of the British army, but the constitution of the scheme of Govern ment, which is our national strength and glory, if h 2 would, to use his own words, exclude from a brave pro fession " the stripling whose only recommendation is his father's wealth or rank," on the plea that it " stifles in others all honourable ambition." Here is a spe cimen of Whig-Radical reasoning ; Let us for a moment consider the question as reasoning men. In the Senate of England is there any exclusion ? Is not the man returned to that assembly by the suffrages of his fellow-countrymen placed on a level with the foremost Representatives of the Commonalty ? Is he not, if qualified by vigorous intellect and culti vated powers, placed in the front rank of any Admi nistration, consistent with his views and principles ? The man who denies this must either be stupidly dull -or factiously insincere. Then why, if in the very proudest arena of national effort there is to be no exclu sion towards the humble on account of their origin, should a chivalrous profession be closed against the nobly born because of their nobility ? Nothing can be more alien from the national feeling than this. It violates the very principle of equal rights and equal privileges, which, if the self-vaunted Liberals under stood ',their boasted creed, they would be the last to outrage. And more—we doubt not that if the Bri tish army were canvassed to-morrow, and it were sub mitted to them whether or not they would prefer the command of the gentlemen who have been their pro tectors in peace, and their leaders in war, or the exclu sive government of those elevated from the ranks, they would unanimously give their voice in favour of the present system. We wish for no exclusion ;we ask as little that the brave yeoman should be kept down as that the brave noble should be disregarded. For both the one and the other we claim the equal privilege of a fair field for their enterprise and energy ; and, whe ther in the Senate or in the army the blending of the aristocratic and democratic elements is the best secu rity for that constitution which holds out the highest distinctions to the humblest aspirants, and renders it incumbent on the proudest to submit to considerations equally indispensable to the good government of all. To revert to the position which we originally took in reference to this matter, we beg to suggest that the disunion between the Government journalists had bet ter be accommodated. Corporal punishment is not likely to be continued by the advocacy of one evening organ, nor the reinstatement of Lord Brudenell to be frustrated by the other. Both these questions are already- decided in the public mind on principles which, as we have before stated, it is scarcely probable can be appreciated, or indeed understood, by the in tellects to which we have been charitably addressing ourselves. It is true that we may not have done them the service which we could have wished, but our re marks will not, we trust, have failed of arresting the attention of that portion of the public to whom the questions alluded to are naturally interesting.—Times. It is much to be regretted that the cultivation of living foreign languages is not more attended to in this country than has hitherto been the case. We are by no means inclined to undervalue classical attainments, which, on the contrary, we look upon as the very best foundation of general knowledge, and as the i indispen sable requ i s i te to any su b seque nt progress n taste or sCience- - (BtleUwhether we look to the merc antile or diplomatic- - C6ricerns of an empire so vast and mul tifarious as ours are in all their ramifications, it surely must be manifest to every one, that while the dead lan guages ought not to t ; neglected, it would be well if the living ones were,so what more effectually attended to. It-is true that:Algiratterino• of F renc h i s ver y g enerally r acq - u ire4ol i. tjts truly a mer e smatter i ng, not one -h a lf t the earners being able to hold conversation with natives of France ; nor can a better proof be offered of our de- fieiency in this respect than the fact that of the persons whom the facility of intercourse now leads to France, scarcely one half can make known their commonest wants in the language of the country which they are visiting. And if this be the case with French, how complete a blank do all other living languages pre sent in the education of Englishmen of all grades and classes. Indeed so unimportant has this head of knowledge been deemed in our schools and universi ties, that we would confidently hazard the conjecture that there are more women than men in England who can read and converse in Spanish, German, and Italian. We are led to notice this subject by an able article in the last number of the " British and Foreign Review," intitled " French Diplomacy." The article reviewed is intitled Les Cours du Nord (MvoiMes ; ou, le S&ret de Toplitz, par un ancien Ministre resident a la Diete de Francfort." In this interesting brochure the faults and errors of French diplomacy, as regards the Northern Powers, is pointed out in an unanswerable manner. "In Germany especially (says the writer) it is easy to perceive the difference in the activity and in telligence of the various European Embassies, and to appreciate accordingly their respective merits. In the. greater capitals they escape observation ; but this is by no means the case in the smaller German residencies ; Dresden, for instance, which is the rendezvous of a great proportion of the European diplomacy. The number of persons employed in the Embassies of the Northern Courts is very considerable; and those attached to the Russian Embassy have, as everywhere else, the majority. They may be seen everywhere in society—in all the literary coteries, at every public place, expressing themselves in the purest German, and by degrees mixing entirely with the people of the country. The French Embassy is almost the only one of which almost nothing is heard. The persons who compose it never quit that society in which French alone is spoken, and arc thus entirely confined to their own circle." After quoting these and various other sentiments of this able writer, the Re viewer gives it as his opinion, in which we are reluct antly compelled to join, that " all these remarks may be applied with equal justice to the general character of British Legations in Germany." Indeed, when tJ similar ignorance of langfiages we add the native mauvaise honte of our countrymen, we may but too safely infer that the evils which thus operate upon French diplomacy are greatly aggravated in her own. The root of the evil we take to be indisputably that to which, in the outset of these observations, we have adverted—viz., the omission of cultivating either at all, or, at any rate, effectually, the knowledge of fo reign languages in our systems of education. There are, probably, not fifty young men in our public schools and Universities—we mean those under the old foundations—who can hold a conversation in anv lan guage but their own ; and we all know how little, in the way of grammar, is learned after a youth has gra duated at Oxford or Cambridge. King's College aryl the London University profess to remedy this, as far as they are concerned; but with what success, either in our diplomatic or mercantile intercourse, they arc as yet both too much in their infancy to furnish a fair criterion. Sure we arc, however, that it is a subject of vital importance in both respects ; and one to which the attention of those in whose hands the remedy lies cannot be too promptly and earnestly directed.— Morning Herald. The friends of the Government are beginning to cir culate a silly rumour of the determination of Lord Melbourne to dissolve this Parliament, upon the re jection of the objectionable part of his Irish Mim:- cipal Reform Bill in the House of Lords. The dili gent promulgation of this story proves neither that Lord Melbourne has the power, nor that Melbourne has the inclination, to dissolve the Parliament. It tes tifies only the conviction entertained by his adherents that his defeat will be certain and decisive ; and their anxiety to terrify by the threat of public convulsion and tumult those whose understanding they cannot delude, and whose. integrity they cannot corrupt. We shall not readily be alarmed into an idea that Lord Melbourne can or will dissolve the Parliament. If the Minister shall tender such adviCe to his Royal Master we sup pose, remembering the agreement asserted by the sup porters of the Government to exist between the Premier and the Lower House that he will tender his advice in these terms :—" The present House of Commons forced an admission for me into your Majesty's con fidence ; the present House of Commons supported me through two Sessions of Parliament with unvaried majorities. I was lifted into office when I proposed to rob the Irish' Church by the present House of Commons ; I was maintained in office when I failed to rob the Irish Church by the present House of Com mons; I was applauded by the present House of Commons when I talked of non-interference ; and I was applauded by the present House of Commons when I proceeded to interfere. Finally, upon the very question on which I have been discomfited, the present I-Ious&of Commons has done its utmost to se cure my triumph. For these reasons I advise your Majesty to appeal to your people for the election of a new House of-Commons." Surely a Premier would be insane who should thus desire to divorce himself from a House of Commons painted by all his friends as so cordially favourable to his Administration. Lord Melbourne, one should suppose, can have but one motive for dismissing those by whom the nation's de votion to him is at presented represented—the same love of contradiction which separated the testy old Baronet in the_ Poor Gentleman from his over-cour teous brother-- " Poor Job I—we could'nt disagree—and so we parted !" —Morning Post. Ireland I we beseech you, notwithstanding the in fernal persecution under which you suffer—and, of which some atrocious instances were yesterday exposed in the letter of our correspondent—to forbear from any violent demonstration of the indignation, abhorrence, and resistance which such barbarities cannot fail to excite in any people possessing the slightest preten sions to the name of freemen, or even with the feel ings natural to humanity. Why do we make this appeal to you ? Because we hope and are certain to obtain redress for your manifold wrongs, by means which our Constitution, undefined and ricketty as it is, admits to be in accordance with its principles, and to which our most inveterate enemies dare not per severe in opposition. We say our enemies, because the interests of England and Ireland are one and the same ; and it is only the envenomed faction which Tory Government has fostered and matured in the bosom of both countries which would persuade us they are different. We implore your forbearance for the present, not that we are insensible to your wrongs, nor unwilling to assist in their redress ; but because we are anxious to try every possible course of action before appealing to the dernier resort which God and nature dictate to the oppressed. You have suffered with unaccountable tranquillity the extremity of human ill, when discord, bigotry, and we must, for we will not flatter, add, ignorance of your wrongs and your rights, prevented your success in the endeavour to fling off the yoke of persecution. Then do not now, when you have a Ministry proceeding, perhaps, as well and as expeditiously as it is possible to do against prejudice, and a bigoted and intolerant party—do not now mar the efforts made for your relief, by an un timely and exasperated demonstration against your persecutors, which, though justified by your suf ferings, would give to our mutual enemies data to argue against your being admitted to the enjoy ment of an equal portion of the rights of which, by the grace of hereditary legislation, the people of England, and, by the strength of their " bra' clay mores," the people of Scotland are now in posses sion. Again, we entreat your forbearance I The Commons of England are with you. The Lords are opposed to the restitution of the rights of both coun tries. Then do not make a premature exertion which would divide the forces, that the infatuation and de lirium of oppression, innate in'aristocratic legislation, must ultimately combine against th em . If th ere should be a necessity o f ac ti on , let it be simultaneous. We anxiously hope that there will not be any direful ex tremity forced upon the country ; but it is impossibk to calculate on the conduct of bigots, aristocrats, and titled persecators, who have brought our Constitution, at one time justly called glorious, into contempt, and which now possesses but one claim to public respect— that is, the innate principle by which it renovates its natural decay, and purifies its own abuses. Peopl e o f Ireland, forbear a little while ! Should the Lords re ject the measures in progress for your relief, we shall address you in different language ; but forbear I until, THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, APRIL 9, 1836. if need require, we can act with unanimity, and quench the torch of unholy oppression.

SUPPRESSIO N PROTECTOIE OF C R O F O Vi A E LL N EWSPAPE R _Ag the various publica tions printed and circulated by the Royalists during the Pro tectorate was a newspaper intitled " The Man in the Moone," of a small quarto size. This for some time appeared regu larly once a week; but from the determined measures taken by the Parliament to suppress it, three or four weeks some times elapsed before a number was published. The printers of it on one occasion were seized while at work, and impri soned, and the printing press was broken into pieces ; never theless The Man in the Moone made its appearance on the following week to defend the Royal cause. Phoenix like, it seemed to rise from its own ashes. Orders from the Parliament were read publicly, offering rewards to any soldiers or other persons who apprehended the vendors of this obnoxious Journal, and although many were taken up and suffered long imprisonment, it obtained very great circulation. From a few numbers of this curious and extremely rare paper (as from its rigorous suppression it must be), which are preserved in the King's Library, British Museum, it would appear chiefly to have contained the daily news of the proceedings of the army of the Parliament, and to have lost no opportunity of ad vancing the cause of the Roya l Exile, and "showing up" the " arch traitours" who had sided with the opposite party. WINDSOR CASTLE.—Windsor far exceeded my expectations, and made a greater impression on me than all the other castles I have ever seen put together. It combines the bold originality of the middle ages with the highest pitch of splendour and comfort which our times can reach. It is not an empty, tedious, monotonous repetition of the same sort of rooms over and over again, but every staircase, every gal lery, every room, every ball, nay every window, is different, surprising, peculiar—in one word, poetical. I •In Windsor, England's history, so rich in interest with all its recoll ec ti ons , suddenly stands before my eyes. These gigantic towers, bas tions, balconies, chapels, churches , and kni g h tly halls, in fresh , and boundless variety—at every step new views over rivers, valleys, woods, and fields, the fancies of a thousand years crowded ' together in one instant, and far surpassing every thing that opera decorators would dare to represent on paper and canvass..Raumer's England. • MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the New London Price Current of last night. ) SUGAR.—The West India Sugar market opened on Wed nesday, the holders demanded prices fully equal to those pre vious to the holidays, which the buyers paid with the greatest reluctance, and there was very little business done ; yesterday however there was a revival in the trade, there being a good demand from the grocers; the Refiners were also buyers, but the business done was principally in the qualities for the scale, at quotations fully up to those of Thursday week ; Antigua for the scale of good quality sold at 655., fine 675. ; Demerara good brown 61s. 6d., good grocery 625. 6d. to 635., and for about 150 barrels of very strong refined white 765. to 795. paid, but of course the latter can form no criterion to present market prices ; a small partion of the cargo of the Tropic arrived with new Barbadoes, will be shortly offered at public sale ; the ar rivals since this day week have been very small ; there is a very good spew of sugars. There is still a good disposition to do business, and the grocers and refiners purchased freely to-day at fully yesterday's rates ; the sales for the last two days are large, 600 yesterday, 1,100 to-day at stiffer prices, particularly the lower qualities, which are 6d. higher. There is a better disposition shown on the part of the shippers to purchase refined goods, but the extreme small quantity ready for delivery has prevented business of the least conse quence from being done ' - for some small parcels of fine crushed 425. 6d. paid, a n d at that price there are further buyers ; the grocery qualities having also become scarce, much business is prevented from being done. The two cargoes of Dutch Crushed Sugar are still offering in the market at 41s. 6d., but at present there does not appear to be buyers within 6d. to ls. of that price. There is a good deal of in terest excited by the goods from Demerara, chrystalized under the new process; about 120 packages sold 765. a 795. with a duty of 245. per cwt. ; said to be produced by the air-pump. Former imports, not so good in quality, were stopped at the Custom-house. It has the appearance of a grain like Sugar Candy (probably what is termed a false grain). Yesterday afternoon fine crushed sold at 425. 6d., and parcels to pass the standard are very scarce. MAURITIUS—there is a revival in the demand, and fully, and in sonic cases, even better prices obtained ; at auction 7,577 bags sold with spirit, and a small pFt was taken either for shipping or on a speculation, at 645. 6d. to 655. for good strong yellow; the remainder went as follows, low to good brown at 595. 6d. to 615., middling to good yellow 625. to 655., fine 665. to 685., several parcels of washed went from 595. 6d. to 665. 6d. ; the lots at 61s. to 625. are 6d. higher than the last sale. EAST INDIA.—The importers of the recent arrivals having refused generally to sell at our former quotations, very little business has been done. Fora floating cargo of Manilla 31s. has been paid, small parcels of Bengal taken by the Grocers at last week's rates. FOREIGN.-The accounts received from the Havannah stat ipg that Sugars were very scarce, and prices extremely high, whites being 70s.- and yellows 405., caused much business to be done in this market in yellow Havannah and Brazil, the prices of which have advanced; the private sales during the week amount to 16 or 1,700 chests, the principal portion good brown or very low yellow Havannah at 355. 6d., taken for the American market ; fine has fetched 375. to 38s. and 395. is now generally asked ; Parabia of brown quality sold at 265. to 275., and middling white old Bahia at 335. ; white Havan nah of strong quality is much wanted, for a cargo mostly yel low, daily expected, the owner is asking 40s. per cwt. At public sale this aftornoon, 537 boxes, 4 puns. white Havannah offered, the washed, of which it principally consisted, sold at from 435. to 445. 6d., and 335. a 375. 6d., being 2s. higher, mid. but very soft white taken in at 475. a 48s. It is reported that a floating cargo of Pernambuco Sugars sold afloat, but the price has not transpired. MOLABSES.-There is some enquiry after West India, and rather more done this week than at the prices last quoted. • COFFEE.-The market for clean qualities of British Plan tation has become quiet, and prices have given way Is. to 2s. ; at public sale, 264 packages were offered, 100 casks mid. coloury Berbice sold at 955. a 98s. 6d., good mid. 101 s., and a few lots triage at 795. to 895., 150 bags Demerara were bought in, middling at 91s. to 925. ; also 14 casks fine ord. Jamaica unclean at 85s. In the East India sorts there has been very little done this week • sellers of Ceylon at Is. under former rates, good quality Offered at 555., Mocha is held firmly, and there is a steady demand. The holders of Foreign continue to ask very high prices, 555. to 565. being required for fine coloury Brazil, but the actual business do ing is still confined to floating cargoes, two of St. Domingo having been sold at 525. 9d. ; and one of Brazil at 535. per cwt. The public sales this afternoon consisted of 75 casks, 130 brls. and bags British Plantation and 510 bags East India; good Ceylon was taken in at 555., Ms. 6d. offered ; Singa pore 48s. a Ms. 6d. for home consumption ; Berbice sold at about late prices. A cargo of St.. Domingo sold afloat this afternoon for Antwerp at 525. 9d. COCOA. -There is nothing doing at present in West India or Brazil, for the latter 40s. a 425. is asked. TALLOW.-The prices on the spot have risen to 435. 6d. a 435. 9d., and at which there has been a brisk demand from the trade. Tallow to be delivered in the last three and four months continues in extensive demand by speculators at 455. This afternoon 1,000 casks sold on the spot at 445., and large parcels for delivery at 455. 6d., at which prices there are buyers and but few sellers. At auction this afternoon, 68 casks Odessa Tallow, sold at 435. 6d. to 435. 9d. per cwt. SILK.-There has been a brisk and general demand for all kinds of Raw Silk at gradually improving prices. RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.-There is much enquiry after rum at fully former rates, and in some cases even stiffer prices would be paid for fine strong qualities, but owing to the Market being still very barely supplied, much business is prevented from being done in parcels in first hands ; for Ja maica 28 per cent. over, 3s. 6d. offered and refused. There is a good demand for Geneva at ls. Bd. for good, and is. Ild. for very fine. Brandy of low quality is ill demand for shipping, but for the good and fine sorts there is no demand at present. The sales of Rum this afternoon are about 300 puns., Jamaica of strong quality at 3s. Bd. a 3s. 9d., De merara 27 a 28 over at 3s. 2 d. , 13 a 14 over 2s. 5d., an Lee in hhds., 6 per cent. over, at 2s. sd. TURPENTINE.-There continue to be ready buyers of rough at 18s. 6d. a 195., at which prices business has been done. There is a very brisk demand for Spirits, and prices have risen to 84s. per cwt. OILS.-There is a brisk demand from flip home trade for Linseed Oil at 475. 6d.. and for shipping to the American Markets large purchases have been made. Rape is heavy of sale at 50s. for pale, and 495. for brown. Palm has advanced to 355., and in demand by the Soap trade. For Gallipoli 631. paid for exportation. Fish Oils continue in brisk demand by the Soap dealers at fully former rates.
