LATE AND IMPORTANT FROM OTAHEITE. (From the Shipping Gazette.) Accounts down to the 11th June have reached us from Otaheite, when her Majesty's ship Thalia, 42, and Salamander (steamer), were both off the port of Papeite, in which harbour the French had the Uranie frigate of 60 guns, and the Ambuscade, 32, with a steamer. The atarte, 46, was gone to the Marquesas for more troops. The oppressions and cruelties of the French con tinued unabated, and their insolence towards the English was even greater than before. The Thalia, it appears, called there on her way to Valparaiso, in consequence of having heard, while at Sydney, of the uncheßked barbarities which the French were indulging in at the expense of the poor Queen and the inhabitants of Otaheite. _ _ " The French had hired one of the traitor chiefs to go on board the Basilisk to assassinate the Queen hut the base intention was happily discovered in time to guard against it." Captain Hope, of the Thalia, refused to salute the French flag which had been so unaccountably hoisted on the island. The French were fortifying in every direction. _ . _ From this information it must be supposed that affairs in the Pacific are likely to become worse before they can be better, and that disquiet never would have advanced to its present height had our Admiral kept the Vindictive at Otaheite, or proceeded thither himself, with the Dublin. Admiral Thomas evinced a considerable dislike to the scene of tumult, and kept ata distrnce, enjoying a peaceful retirement amongst the shades of Owhyhee. Admiral Thomas had never been near Otaheite, not withstanding the disgraceful conduct of the French, not only towards the natives, but towards our mer chants and other Englishmen there. The absence was deemed extraordinary, as they were not ignorant that the Admiral would pass near Otaheite on his passage to Valparaiso from the Sandwich Islands. This was so unlike the course which a British Admiral usually pur sues as a Commander-in-Chief, and its example bodes so little good to the navy and to the distant d pen dencies of the state, that the Admiral's motives for neglecting Otaheite should be explained—but no one can explain them but himself. Vessels 'with British registers, and laden with British property, were continually ruinning between Sydney and the islands while they were undisturbed by the French. This trade, we presume, is at an end. Col lingwood's capkiiii has failed to preserve it. It is for Coliizg, , ,vood to repair the loss. She is on her way to Otaheite. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. Fil‘)3l TAB EVENr.G PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GisOßE.—These views which we have steadily ?tit forth for a good many years, as to where the fault really ihs for the less favourable aspects of our social systesx, and that it does not really lie with the ma ligned, aral alleged merely Mammonite middle class —we now see put forth in quarters possessed of ma chinery, powerful, when worked in a valid cause. The Times °lasers that, in a country possessed of a vi csorons middle class— , " The Step: has not to set to work as soon as it fore sees an exigdncy, or conceives a design, putting all the scattered parts of the ,ociai machine together, and dis ravering, at the last moment, to its cost, that it is nut -prepared, for that scmething is missing, some joint has gaped, or some member his shrunk since the last great tern-out of the nation. fa such a predicament the re sults must always ho precarious and imperfect. But with a large class, neither very rich nor very poor, neit i her incapable of 4re at efforts nor above them, always eneaged in extr.resive and ardeous designs, always aug menting and eg the resources of the country the statesman has three parts of his work done to hand. Even if lid slept, others worked. fle has only to speak to a prepared people, and open a well filled magazine." If the middle classes, adds the Times, " have been banished from the country to the town, and made thereby more democratic, whose fault is it? Not their own." It is not• simply being " banished" from the country to the town that makes people democratic. it is very true that a whole population of mere cul•. tivators is not usually democratic—nor anything else. It is simply joiterhead. But neither are towns what is usually under-toed by the epithet democratic (that is to 5 , 2,v flivourable to throwing all power into all hands) so long as towns are thriving-. Such democracy, in art old country, is de:peration. IF tooting in the country his been withdrawn, s!ep by step, from the numbers, and if ihose numbers fled tooting fail them in the towns also, their temper naturally takes the turn of denincracy. But towns are loyal while they thrlivr.:. * Those who lead the opinion of the towns, in culinary times,. are . trie class most anxious for trafiglfillity-becanise tranquillity is the sine qua nog to commercial confidence. They are ready 'to regard the lords nt:. the soil, or the men of hereditary isanlc,7 as their leaders, provided they find Li them ties real energy .of leadership in the national cause. But the energy of exclusion —the energy of monopoly—it is not surprising if these energies excite no wsponding loyalty. Sir Robert Peel the eider, in 1815, exclaimed against the injustice of rewarding the steady loyalty of the manu facturing towns by restrictive corn-laws. It is true that he did not exactly foresee, the form of the evils which have followed. He foresaw rather :Erect decay than increased concourse, stimulated efibrt, and giant capitals. But are tot the increased intensity of the struggle, and the progressive absorption ofsmall capitals, symptoms of -artificial pressure and agonising exist ence ? Are they net attended with the swallowing up of 'he iuslependent middle class ? Is not that the sure ibrerunner of decay—is it not that we should seek to Temedy ? For our own part we must confess, it is with little satisfaction or confidence that we hear of vast and daring commercial operations—narrowed, as the base of those operaisions is by restrictive laws. 'We hear, for instance, that our exports to China have increased from a million to three millions and a half. If this is accurate, it is superfluous to inquire -what will come back ? As business is now done, -the, system of credit, which facilitates vast speculative enlargements of commercial operations -in any promising quarter, makes momentary flushes of prosperity, which can deceive no watchful econo mist, and should content no far-seeing states man. The sole true foundation for well-being is the assurance to Labour of the products which Labour needs. The capitalist builds his house upon sand, if he builds it on speculation on the indefinite ex rent of any market—without reference to the ques tion of available returns—and returns available to sour vents. The coarsest, the most everyday wants clf Labour are the sole sure basis of commerce. 'Those being first considered, the superstructure of elegant luxuries can be reared. But the instability of the base is fatal to all that can be raised above it ; and fatal, above all, to the existence of the competent middle class, which depends on labouring customers, and modest l profits. To the ruin of this class Par too much artiflcial and fine-spun legislation has tended;—and very eminently, much of the legis lation with respect to Bankruptcy and Insolvency. k correspondent, whose views on this subject we have eviserted on former occasions, observes, " Now is the time that new law-structures must be reared ; and, if mot taken in hand seriously by the virtuous and hard thinking, the duty will be snatched at by the same sort of intellect that has destroyed the ancient and rude insti tutions, which, though with an eedless cruelty, did keep out the idle, and extravagant, and dishonest, from the 4easure that frugal men had collected. These pro tections have been destroyed, chiefly by the turbu lent tongue of a superficial law Lord. New protec tions must be devised by more healthy and more honest intellect. Bad poor-laws have been the de struction or deterioration of the whole of the lower classes ; so will bad insolvency-laws effect the same sing for the middle classes. And what then ? A lbw millionaires of the acre, the mill, and the ledger, will live in the land amidst a whole population, the victims of unmitigated poverty and demoralisation. .And what then ? Revolution, with its most hideous weapons, the brand and the knife 1" H eaven aver t it ! But cod helps them who help themselves. We shall return to this topic. STANDARD. ---A Whig Contemporary yester- Clay expressed much anxiety at the elevation of Lord Stanley to the peerage, upon grounds, the ingenious discovery of which we may admire, but grounds which we can scarcely understand. The journal in question first assumes that Lord Stanley has taken fflikht at the preparations for an invasion of the Colonial department, made by certain important I.lembers of the House ot Commons, viz.— " Some people think that the Baron Bickerstaffe has out and run from the provoking inquiries threatened in the Commons next session--by Mr. Buller on emi ue.a,tion, by Mr. Hutt on the West Indies, by Mr. Scott, (ea New South Wales, by Mr. Forster on the west coast Africa, by Mr. A.,rlionby, Mr. Mangles, and Lord Jbiwick on New Zealand, and by Mr. Ilarees on volenia.l representation in the Imperial Parliament. There is prieoability in the suspicien." ‘• Some people" . may perhaps adopt this ingenious reellition of Lord Stanley's elevation to the . peerage, ,it " other people " will think that the matter may I e more simply explains-d by the hypothesis that, as certainly the second in eminence of living Parliamen t .ry debaters, Lord Stanley may be placed more r.sefully for the Administration and the country le the House of Lords than in the House of Cctri rons, where the ver y fi rs t li v i ng d e b a t er alrew I y leads e• majcsrAy, and even single-handed, without the : , fGladsto ne , Si r if .

Boiler, Hutt Scett, Forster, Aglionb;, Lord L ewiek, and Mr. reniamin Hawes, or any of them. 7 journal, ho.vever, proceeds : This 'Clodge' has about it all that super-subtlety for THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 23, 1844. which the Colonial-office has long been notorious, and from which our transmarine possessions have so deeply suffered. That office dreads discussion ;it will do any thing, however mean or monstrous, to avoid debate. Let us then cast a glance at the state in which Lord Stanley, on his departure from the House of Commons, leaves the colonies." Of " the dodge" (to borrow our Contemporary's polite phraseology) we have already spoken ; but there is something curious in the admissions of the paragraph, that the Colonial-office has long been notorious for " super-sublety " for " the dread of discussion," and for doing anything mean or mon strous in order to avoid debate. Long notoriety, in such matters, must extend beyond three or four years. What, says Bacon, is the hour-glass of one man's life in the age of a nation ? The long notoriety of the mismanagement of a great public department must therefore reach to some considerable period, cer tainly to a period sufficiently long to embrace the whole of the fourteen years since 1830, though within that period the eminently energetic Lord Glenelg, as well as Lords Normanby and J. Russell held the colonial seals—of course " dreaded discussion, and did mean and monstrous things." It surely is not kind of the Whig journalist to rip up these offences of its old friends, already suffering enough of public contempt in their dreary unplaced position. As if, however, maliciously resolved to fix its charges against the Colonial-office upon the Whig holders of that office, the Whig journal details them all in its " glance"—a glance prismatically split into 16 heads, each head presenting some colonial difficulty, and each difficulty that is not simply ridiculous, or obviously unfounded, being the effect of Whig mismanagement.

William Fitzp,.eorge, a stoker on board the Earl of Liverpool steam-vessel, trading to and from Ostend, was brought before the Lord Mayor and Sir John Pirie, charged, upon an information, with having been found in that vessel in possession of a quantity of tobacco, on which the duty had not been paid. Coleby Atkinson Davis, the Custom-house officer, stated that between five and seven o'clock on Thurs • day morning he went on board the Earl of Liverpool, which lay off Tower-stairs. The prisoner, who was not at that time on board, arrived soon afterwards, and witness, upon searching his berth, found under the flooring under the bed about 7lbs. of tobacco, and subsequently he found 161bs. of tobacco in the engine room. In the forecastle he found, on the same day, 161bs. of tobacco, and in the after-cabin 101bs. of cigars. The prisoner was convicted in the penalty of 1001. William Holls, also a stoker on board the Earl of Liverpool, was charged under an information charg ing him with a similar offence. The prisoner said that he was not guilty to the ex tent attributed, and that he thought he was justified in having in his possession a certain quantity of the article. Sir Jowl Pints—We are imperatively called upon to check this practice, which now knows no bounds. The prisoner was fined 1001. Henry Hailden, steward of the after-cabin, was charged with having been concerned in the smuggling of tobacco. Mr. Davis having repeated his former evidence, un derwent a cross-examination by Mr. Pickett, of the house of E. B. Robinson, Savage-gardens, but the cross-examination had the effect of more strongly exhibiting the guilt:of the prisoner. The witness stated that the chief steward, who was evidently igno rant of the stowage of contraband goods in the vessel, said to the prisoner, " What a fool you must be to do such a thing ;" to which the prisoner replied that he had deposited some of the tobacco in the berth himself, and that he was sorry for it. The witness, in answer to a question from Mr. Pickett, who endeavoured to shuffle the offence from the shoulders of his client to those of the chief mate, said that the Custom-house officers were in the habit of endeavouring with all their might to discriminate between the innocent and the guilty, and that they entirely exonerated the chief mate in the case. Mr. Pickett—ls not a certain quantity of tobacco allowed to each person on board ? Mr. Davis—No. The captain is allowed the power to deal out a certain quantity of tobacco to his men, but they have no privilege at all of the kind. We are well aware who are the guilty parties. Mr. Pickett then begged that the Magistrate would inflicta lenient penalty upon his client, in considera tion of the large family the poor man had. The LORD MAYOR said the Board of Commis sioners had the power to alleviate the punishment which the Magistrates could not help pronouncing in such a case upon such convincing testimony. The prisoner was then convicted in the penalty of 1001. gi per cent. 41. iii. 181. 41. 10s. 81. 4 par cent. 41. 401. .15s. ILI% 31 12e.

(From the London New Price Current of Nov. 22.) SUGAR.-To-day the market presented a quiet ap pearence for West India Sugar; but the limited business transacted by private contract was at former rates; there is, however, more desire on the part of merchants to sell the inferior sorts. A public sale of 272 hhds 48 trcs and 125 barrels St. Lucia went off with hea viness, and a part only sold at rather lower rates for brown and common yellow, but the better sorts sup ported former rates, good yellow fetched 61s, good mid 595, mid 56s to 575, low 55s to 55s 6d, good brown 54s to 54s 6d, mid 53s 6d, and drainage damaged 54s to 57s per cwt. The total purchases for the week are 1,600 hhds and trcs. REFINED.-To-day Refined Sugar was in excellent re quest by the home trade, and prices ruled firm: standard Lumps at 74s 6d, and brown 72s 6d per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is selling for forward delivery at 29s 6d to 29s 9d, and some parties will not sell under 30s per cwt. MAURITIUS.-This afternoon at public sale 5,811 bags 232 casks of the new crop were brought forward, the principal part consisted of good mid, and good bright yellow descriptions ; nearly the whole found purchasers at fair market rates ; but there was a want of spirit in biddings, fine yellow went at 64s to 67s 6d, good 60s to 635, good mid 57s 6d to 59s 6d, mid 54s to 56s 6d, low 52s to 53s 6d, good brown 48s, mid 455, low 425, very low 40s, six bags of the old crop were sold at 49s 6d per cwt. for brown. EAST INDIA.-This afternoon 687 baskets of Java were sold at full rates ; fine grey at 21s 6d to 22s 6d, good yellow 20s 6d to 21s, fine 21s 6d to 225, mid 19s to 20s, white 22s to 23s 6d, washed 17s 6d to 21s. Ben gal Sugar met with less attention, and the parcels offered at public sale amounting to 2,810 bags were only partly sold, but former rates were sustained ; middling yellow fetched 55s to 57s 6d, low 53s to 54s 6d, damp and washed 53s 6d to 565, middling sound white 63s 6d, low 61s, and damp brown 46s to 48s 6d per cwt. FOREIGN.-The market has still a firm appearance for all descriptions of Foreign Sugar, and a further diminu tion has taken place in the stock of all kinds. This afternoon 700 baskets of Java Sugar were sold privately at 18s for brown, and 21s 6d for yellow, for refining under bond. MoLassEs.-Previous rates are sustained for West India, and the demand has been very good this week- Antigua has been selling at 245, and Tobago 21s per cwt. The deliveries are still exceeding the arrivals, and there is not a large quantity offering for sale in the market. East India Molasses are not much in request at present, 14s to 17s. per cwt is the value of Bengal. COFFEE.-This afternoon the public sales of Coffee comprised 3,089 bags East India, 904 bags Ceylon, and 92 casks 84 bags West India; for the East India the demand was limited, and nearly the whole was taken in at more than it was worth, viz.-Sumatra low mixed with blacks at 225, Batavia good ord mixed bulked 26s to to 28s 6d, ord 265, but a small part sold at 19s 6d to 24s for low much mixed, sea damaged 20s to 245, being how ever cheaper, Singapore Java good ord pale was taken in at 365, ord 30s, a few lots of damaged sold at 32s for Ist, 28s to 28s 6d for 2d, 26s for 3d class, and 28s for damaged in the country ; of the Ceylon the chief part was sold at full market rates, but Plantation sorts went is to 2s cheaper-good ord pale sold at 555, flue fine ord coloury at 66s to 675, fine ord 63s to 645, triage 28s 6d to 46s ; the West India consisted of small lots, and was in second hands, it sold at full rates-fine ord Jamaica at 52s to 545, and good ord 49s to 51s per cwt. The value of good ord Ceylon is 54s ; but there was not much business transacted. TEA.-The market has a firm appearance for all de scriptions of Tea. For Green Tea prices are still going up, and for Black they have ruled firm. Congou has been in good demand by private contract, and former rates are fully supported-sales of common have been made at 101 d to 10,1 d, and good common lid to 1 lid per lb cash. Pouchong has met with increased attention. Scented Orange Pekce is in good demand at 3s 31d for cash, and at 3s 4d to 3s 5d with prompts.

RUM, BRANDY, AND lIOLLANDS.-Holders of Leeward Island Rum manifest firmness, and supply the market sparingly, but there has been but little business trans acted ; 2s 4d to 2s 5d per gallon is the value of proof. Jamaica has been taken sparingly by shippers and the home trade, but merchants refuse to lower their prices, and only a small quantity is offering for sale ; indeed the bulk of the stock is in second hands-we quote 30 to 32 per cent over, 35 8d to 3s 11 d; 33 to 35 over, 4s to 4s 4d; superior 4s 6d to ss, very superior 5s 6d to 5s 2d per gall.

A meeting of the holders of shares in the Cata Branca (Brazils) Gold Mining Company was held at the office of the Society, Broad-street-buildings, at half-past one yesterday, for the purpose of receiving the half-yearly report of the Directors ; George Hay thorne, Esq., in the chair. After reading the advertisement 'convening the meeting, the Secretary proceeded to read the report, by which it appeared that there had been a decrease in the quantity of gold produced from the " lode" during the last half-year, in comparison with that produced from a similar quantity of lode in the year 1840, and those intervening. The rate of the produce of the gold in the year 1840, as compared with the lode was 974 lbs. of gold for 18,230 tons of lode, while in the last half-year it was only 1541b5. of gold for 7,900 tons of lade, being a falling off in the proportion of about 23 to 51. The cause of the decrease was attributed, by those who were deputed to examine into it, to the fact of what its technically termed a "slide" running longitudinally through the bed of lode at an angle of 42 degrees, by which the quality of the productive earth was consi derably deteriorated. To counteract this, it became necessary to sink a bell shaft to the depth of 100 fathoms, and now they found a considerable improve ment in the quality of the lode. The excavated earth, by the usual process, produced as much gold as covered the expenses of working the shaft. The Directors had deemed that it would be advisable to make a call on the Shareholders, but they had re frained from doing so as yet, and made themselves liable to 8,000/. debt. On the motion of Mr. GUM', seconded by Mr. WRAY, the report was adopted, and ordered to be printed for circulation; after which a vote of thanks to the Chairman, and one of confidence in the Direc tory, were passed, and the meeting separated.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. CONTINUATION OF CAPTAIN NORTON'S SHELL PRACTICE.-FOURTH DAY. The firing continued again on Thursday morning, at nine o'clock, at the top of high water, for the purpose of testing the qualities of these formid able missiles, as ricochet shells—the Swiftsure the target. The guns used were as before, 68 and 32- pounders. Twenty-five shells were thrown at a very small elevation of the gun, to make the first graze about eight hundred yards from the Excellent, the object being to test the operation of the shell on striking the water. We understand that a number of the shells fired were not pointed at the Swiftsure, but merely to try whether the shell would explode by the resistance of the water, which it did not do except in one or two instances, and then we suppose the shell came into contact with the hard ground under the slight coating of mud and water ; about 10 shells struck the ship, four of which exploded with tremendous effect, one entered through the quarter deck, and did not explode, but was picked up and taken back to the Excellent. We subjoin a list of shells fired, &c. No. 1. First graze about 800 yards, passed over Swiftsure, grazed water eight times ; no explosion. No. 2. First graze about 850 yards, second graze into ships' bulwark, quarter-deck, port side, splinter ing timberheads, side-planking, &c. No. 3. Ex ploded in the air, about 700 yards from the Excellent. No. 4. First graze 800 yards, third graze into ship and exploded. No. 5. First graze about 800 yards; at third graze struck ship, passing through quarter deck bulwarks, and into deck ; no explosion seen. No. 6. First graze about 800 yards ; at third graze struck ship through quarter-deck by skylight, through main deck ; no explosion. No. 7. First graze about 850 yards; struck, third graze, passing through quarter and main deck ; exploded on main deck. No. 8. Ricochet, nine times, passing ahead of ship ; no explosion. No. 9. First graze about 900 yards, passed ahead of ship, grazed nine times. No. 10. First graze about 900 yards, passed ahead, grazed six times ; exploded. No. 11. Passed ahead of ship, grazed water twenty times ; no explosion. No. 12. Into ship the fourth graze ; no explosion heard. No. 13. Into ship the third graze, struck port fore castle bulwark, and exploded. No. 14. Into ship the third graze, and exploded. N 0.15. First graze about 800 yards, passed over ship; no explosion heard.

First graze about 950 yards, passed ship, grazed water twelve times. No. 19. First graze about 950 yards, passed, grazed seven times, and ex ploded. No. 20. Struck water about 950 yards, and exploded. No. 21. First graze about 900 yards, missed ship, grazed water twelve times. No. 22. First graze 950 yards, missed ship, grazed water twelve times. No. 23.

DagOßlleatif the astronomer, after noticing the total eclipse of the moon which is to take place in the night of Sunday nex t ' publishes in the Union of Le Mans, the following addi" tional particulars :—" During the eclipse, and from its COnr mencement, the magnificent planet Jupiter, more brillian t than a star of the first magnitude, will be visible in the south. Quite near it, and a little more elevated, we shall see the constellation Uranus, distant 660,000,000 leagues Win the sun, and having, in consequence of this distance, the appearance of a small star of only the sixth magnitude. It will pass the meridian at 47 minutes past seven in the evening. Its longitude will be 2 deg. 47 min. and 't e latitude 0 deg. 44 min. in the sign Pi sces . Before the eclipse there will be apparent in th e we st the plane t Saturn, the most curious of all the planets, and present: ing a unique appearance in the atm os ph er e. This sta r is placed in the middle of an elliptical ring, and bas seven satellites. At present, seen through an aniirr made telescope, it bears the image of an oval silver basil; placed horizontally, in the middle of which is a reline ball of the same metal rising three or four inches above its edge, but without touching it. This planet is a thou' sand times larger than the earth, its diameter being, 280,000 leagues. It takes thirty y ears i n ma king " t revolution round the sun, from which it is dista l ' 32 leagues."

Percy-place, Landport, Portsmouth, April 4, :844. Gentlemen,—l think it but an act of jnstice to inform you of the benefit I have derived from the use of your admirable Macassar Oil. About six months ago I found my hair getting daily more weak and thin, and much discoloured, from a practice I had adopted of weft* it continually ; fearing that I should lose it entirely, and hearing of the efficacy of your Macassar Oil, I have for some time past constantly used it, and the result is, that my hair is now perfectly - restored and much improved in appearance and colour, having become thick, dark, and glossy ; it also curls freely without the use of paper, which it never did before. To all my friends I have warmly recommended your Macassar Oil as an excellent restorative and preservative for the hair. As I have 'an objection to see my name i n print, I beg you will not publish it; but you are at blberty to show this letter, or make any other use you please of it, and refer applicants to me, if necessary, in proof of the efficacy of your Ma cassar Oil.—Your obedient servant, Rowland's Macassar Oil iiruserves and reproduces the Hair ; prevents it from falling off or turning Grey ; Changes Grey Hair to its Original Colour ; frees it from Scurf and Dandruff, and. makes it beautifully soft and curly. Ask for " Rowlandr's Macassar Oil." All others are fraudulent counterfeits. INCENDIARY FIRE AT COGGLESIIALL.—About three o'clock yesterday morning (Thursday), the uninhabited mansion of Charles Skingley, Esq., of Great Coggleshall, was maliciously set on fire, and with the extensive pre mises adjoining, was completely burnt to the ground, nothing but the naked chimneys being left standing. There is no clue at present to the vile incendiary.— Chelmsford Chronicle. Why is a young lady like a bill of exchange ? Be muse she ought to be settled as soon as she comes to mAturity. I. 10..
