The proceedings which took place at Edinburgh on Wednesday will be read with deep interest by every British subject. After a lapse of half a century justice has been done to the memory of MUIR, and PALMER, and SKIRTING, and the other brave re formers, who dared to raise their voices against cor ruption and oppression—who risked and lost every thing dear in life for their country's cause, who suf fered and died, with one exception, like felons—men who advocated principles which were carried into effect in 1832 by the acclamation of the United Em pire. It is melancholy to look back on such a scene, to reflect on the savage despotism, and the brow beating of the Scotch bench, the servile imitation of the jury, the atrocious sentence passed on prisoners who are justly entitled to the rank of martyrs in a great and good cause, and at the same time remem ber that these " felons " paved the way to reform, and only advocated priciples which, forty years after wards, ,were sancti one d b y Kin, Lords and Com mons. The scen e ex hi bits a heart-rending picture of human natu re . T hey were all men of irreproach able character ; th ey were actuated bthe purest feelings of patriotism ; th ey excited no !edition they merely proclaimed the p o li t i cal doctrines of the' pre sent age ; but they came before their time ' • they were in advance of the spirit of th e age, and they were hunted to death like the vile m onsters that dis graced the French Revolution. Well may unsettled minds look with doubt on the dispensations of Pro vidence when they find such merit subjected to such fearful inflictions, and the only redress is a public dinner and a monument, forty. five years after most of them had expired in miserable exile, and among the most degraded and wicked of the human race. It is some consolation, however, to know that justice has at last been done to their memory; that an old reformer, who struggled with them in the noble cause of li berty, Sir JAME S G IBSON C RAIG , survived to preside over the meeting ; and that the son of one of these martyrs of the people's rights was present to repre sent the feelings and the spirit of his murdered pa rent. But, after all, it is a poor consolation. Scot land can never wipe out the stain by public MOBlL manta, or banquets, or by universal expressions of such is ablaost invariably the fact, we saw in the ser vile insuitection under the leadership of FROST and other Chartist agitators; and, still more recently, in the extensive outbreak in the manufacturing districts, which at one time threatened to involve the whole north of England in anarchy. Th e s t r ik es of work- men, too, which are so frequently occurring in the colliery and mining districts, where education is no- toriously at a lower ebb than elsewhere, may be all traced to the same source—the besotted ignorance of those who take part in them, and who, as a necessary consequence, adopt the very means which are the most certain to increase their distress. Surely, with these facts staring them in the face, Ministers will be greatly to blame if they hesitate any longer to put their shoulder to the wheel, and grapple with the momentous question of education, in a prompt —con ciliatory—comprehensive and energetic spirit ! Madrid journals of the 16th have been received. In one of them we find a letter from Algesiras confirm ing the intelligence from Marshal BUGEAUD, conveyed by the French telegraph. "A report is current," the writer states, "that the bombardment of Tangiers was decided by the arrival of a telegraphic dispatch for Marshal BUGEAUD, in which the Prince de JOIN viLLE was informed that the Marshal's troops had had another engagement with 20,000 Moors un der ADD-EL-KADER. It is added that the Marshal has been wounded in that action. Time will tell what truth there is in these reports ; but, whatever the cause may have been of the bombardment of Tangiers, it is certain that the fortifications of the place have been destroyed." Accounts from Barcelona of the 17th announced that the QUEEN reached Valencia on the 15th. On the Madrid Bourse the Three per Cents. were quoted at 27i at 60 days. Private letters from Paris mention that there is every probability of the Otaheite affair being settled amicably. It is said that Captain BRUAT, disapprov ing of the arrest and expulsion of Mr. PRITCXIARD, had reprimanded M. D'AUBIGNY, and suspended him till further orders from his Government. We shall rejoice to find this statement confirmed; but as no dates are given, nor any mention made of later arri vals from the Pacific, it must be regarded as a mere report, though one which is extremely probable. Captain BRUAT was selected by the French Cabinet as a prudent and skilful man to succeed Admiral Du- PETIT THOUARS, and it is not at all unlikely that he at once disowned an act involving such heavy respon sibilities. The following telegraphic dispatch was received by the Government on the 22d instant :—" The last accounts from Marshal BUGEAUD are of the 9th. At that date the Marshal still occupied the camp of Lella Magrina. The negotiations with the Moorish camp had yielded no result. The Marshal's army had been abundantly supplied by our steamers. The squadron of the Prince de JOINVILLE was still on the 9th in the waters of Tangiers." A later dispatch, which will be found under the proper head, brings 'intelligence from Marshal Bu. GEAUD, of the 14th, and announces that he had gained a great victory over 20,000 Moorish cavalry. The journals are still almost exclusively occupied with the affairs of Morocco ; and we regret to find that owing to some indiscreet articles in the London newspapers, the tone of even the Ministerial press is somewhat al tered. The Globe thus alludes to these articles:— " Some days ago the Presse said that the journals would fill up the forced silence of the Chambers on both sides of the Channel, and that their mission became the more important i n p roport i on to the increased gravity of cir cumstances. Yes ! th e m i ss i on o f the periodical press would indeed become great and high if it would devote itself to enlighten men's minis instead of disturbing them. But it had rendered itself little because it has undertake n a miserable task—a task of rancorous and narrow recrimination. No—the press cannot supply the forced silence of the Chambers, because the Chambers are the so u l, t h e intelligence, the justice, and the inte rests of i a nation, an d the press in general is but its igno rance, its passion, and often its raging even to delirium. We apply this to the journal s o f E ngland as well as of France. On both sides the journals are spirits of dark ness, hatred, and barbarism. On neith er s id e d o they stand forth as the sentinels of justice, pe ace , and civilisa tion. The harsh task which wo had imposed upon our selves of making known . the Fren c h press to French readers has been too fait hfully accomplished t o leave regret. It must for ever remain a stigma on the country that, while patriots, struggling for her rights, were sacrificed almost by common consent, English juries stood up nobly for their fellow-subjects, saved TOoKE, HARDY, and their colleagues from a similar fate, and set all the machinations of a strong and unscrupulous Government at defiance. We admit there were ex ceptions. Some of the leaders of the Whig party in Scotland, and, among the rest, the ERSKINES, distin guished themselves in the cause of liberty ; but their numbers were small, and the wild fury of the nation overpowered every generous and patriotic sentiment. Most of them are gone to their rest. Sir JAMES Ginsox CRAIG is almost the only survivor. He is now in his eightieth year. He long kept the whole herd of Tories at bay ; and it is gratifying to find that his speech on this occasion exhibits all the fresh ness and vigour of youth. Right principles, in the end, prevail ; but the best and the bravest are generally sacrificed before the great work is accomplished. While Government are busily engaged during the recess—as they have led us to suppose they will be— preparing a scheme of education for the Irish, we trust chat they will not omit to take into their considera tion the glaring deficiencies in this respect of the lower classes of the English, both in the manufac turing and in the agricultural districts. That they failed last year in their proposed plan of instruction is no reason why they should not persevere, especially as their failure will have the effect of acting as a useful warning, by showing them wherein their plan was defective, and furnishing them with hints and sug gestions for amending it. The education of the masses is not one of those questions that can afford to wait the leisure of Parliament and the convenience of Ministers. It is pressing—imperative —and the longer it is delayed, and the more it is trifled with, the greater will be the difficulty of bringing it to a satisfactory adjustment. At least one-half of the agrarian outrages that are of such continual occur rence in the south and west of Ireland, may be traced to the deplorable ignorance of the peasantry; and who can doubt that the midnight vagaries of Swing have the same origin ? By accounts that appeared a short while since in The Sun, it seems that the ma jority of those recently convicted of incendiarism had received scarcely any education at all ; while of twenty who were convicted of various offences at the quarter sessions in one of the Wilts districts, upwards of fifteen could neither read nor write ! What a com ment is this on the supineness and want of foresight of Government, which legislates with restless officious ness for a variety of petty, partial grievances, while it leaves the great grievance of all nearly, if not wholly, unredressed! We hear much in Parliament of the commercial difficulties of the people, who are some times patted on the back for their forbearance, and at ither times taunted with their sullen Chartist heresies; but seldom is their benighted ignorance alluded to in a spirit worthy of the occasion, or any indication manifested of the earnest wish on the part of Parlia ment, boldly to grapple with the subject. Whigs and Tories seem equally to shrink from the task, as though it were surrounded with difficulties beyond their power to overcome. We are not aware that any edu cational measures on a comprehensive scale were pro jected during the ten years of Whig supremacy; and sure we are that our present Tory rulers —not withstanding that year by year the evil has been ac quiring fresh strength—have as yet turned their attention but slightly and indolently to the great busi ness of education. Well, the evil, we trust, is now about to be remedied ; and for the best of all possible reasons—namely, that it can no longer be staved off with impunity. It is good that the people should be provided with the means of subsistence; that the burdens which press so heavily on them should be lightened; that ample work should be found for them, by liberating trade and commerce from the fetters in which they are at present bound ;—all this, we say, is good, and worthy the most serious atten tion of the Legislature; but better still is it that the people should be rationally instructed, for by these means —and these only—the ground-work is laid for their advancement in life; principles of common sense, justice, and morality are instilled into them, which in due course will have all the force of a second nature ; and the best of all guarantees is given for real, lasting, national tranquillity. The energies of an uneducated people are never to be relied on, for in seasons of distress and difficulty, they are far more likely to take a wrong than a right direction. Tha THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 2, 1641 any necessity for our further demonstrating how well founded are our charges against it. It remains only, therefore, for us to establish by the proofs that are in our hands, that the English press is in no great degree be hind •ur own in irrationality, inconsistency, and evil instinet. We regret to be obliged to produce the Tives, a journal of so much importance, as a specimen of the bad spirit which seems to predominate over journalism in the free countries of Europe." It afterwards adds : " If it be true that order would be disturbed in France, that our new-born dynasty would be endangered, that our railroads would remain unfinished—that Paris, that great seat of industry, would be deserted by foreigners, and that with them employment, profit, and wealth, would depart ; that every branch of our national industry would receive a rude shock ; it is equally true that on the day when the flames of war should break forth the voice of O'Connell, now smothered, would be heard aloud ; the element of democracy would make the aristocracy pay dear for the aid it might lend. You would sow dis order and uneasiness amongst us, but you would not pro duce a revolution. Go to ! neither you nor we, nor kny portion of Europe, have anything to gain by a war. All of us have need of order, undisturbed industry, and sta bility, and we all depend upon each other. The first cannon-ball you fire against us will strike all Europe to the heart. It is for this that we wish for peace, and not from want of confidence in our own strength or from fear of yours. When you talk of your strength you commit an enormously great act of impru dence —you place yourselves on a ground from which we have never stirred. England would be against us But we have had all Europe upon us, and she will long bear the marks of the wounds we have inflicted upon her. Would you know what has greater influence over us than the strength of England—than all the might of Europe? We reply, justice and equity. Convince us that we are wrong, and though we will never yield a step to dictates issued from the cannon's mouth, we will give way to the arguments of good sense and truth. All this would be very alarming if France and England were governed by journals. But this is not the case. The journals, through the calumet which is called a pen, blow storms and tempests in the ocean, which is called an ink-bottle. All this comes from no great elevation, and penetrates to no great depth. Those who rule are, like travellers seated on the summit of the Alps—the storm is at their feet, but a calm is around them, and the invariable canopy of Heaven above their heads." The Journal des Debats adopts nearly the same strain, but the writers in these journals ought to re member that the English newspipers were not the first to begin the war of words, and that many inju rious epithets were for months applied to England without any retaliation. The Journal des Debats, in reference to such angry discussions, says : " The English press shows far more anxiety about the results of the bombardment of Tangiers than that of France, and exhibits its uneasiness in a manner which, we must declare, does it but little honour. The French Government has formally and publicly expressed its re solution to wage only a defensive war ; it has declared several times that it has not the slightest intention to add an inch of territory to its African possessions, and yet it is in presence of these reiterated declarations that the English journals take the trouble of protesting against all permanent occupation of Morocco by France. We have already asserted, and we now repeat it, that such a proceeding is what is called showing courage and firmness at a cheap rate. It is most ungracious to impose on France limits which she had traced out for herself beforehand, of her own accord, and with out the permission of any one. The French Go vernment has no desire to take Morocco, but it wishes to keep Algeria. It may suit the English press to deprecate what is taking place in French Africa, and to say that we are losing our time, men, and money there. That may b e th e case ; b ut, at all events, that only regards ourselves, and we are but little sensible to the interest that is so kindly shown for our finances. We know not what England would have done with Algiers, if she had got it ; but we have it, and will ex- pend, if necesary, millions of francs and thousands of men, to keep it. We conjure the English press to watch more carefully over itself, for it plays a part but little worthy of itself, and of the great country the opinion of which it represents. It turns a particular and accidental question into a general one, threatens us with a coalition, makes an appeal to the passions of 1815, and boasts of the support of Russia, Austria, and Prussia. There is but little honour in thus threatening with the sword of others. England, if she accepted the responsiblity of such a language, would strongly contradict herself. She saluted with an enthusiasm, which, in spite of every thing we have not lost the memory of, the revolution of 1830, because she beheld there the triumph of constitutional principles, and the victory of legal liberties. It is owing to the union of the two great liberal nations of the west that Belgium was able to found her nationality, and that Portugal and Spain could give themselves a Parlia mentary Government. Would England be now disposed to repudiate this glorious obligation, and to repudiate the cause of civilisation, progress, and liberty ? We think not." Considerable agitation prevailed in the Paris Bourse on Thursday. The Three per Cents. at one time fell to 78f. 85c. They finally closed at 80f. 10c., and the Fives at 120 f. " ALEXANDRIA, Aua. 7. News from Marshal Bugeaud of the 14th has been received. The Marshal, wishing to prevent the re union and augmentation of the Morocco army, which every day received additional reinforcements, marched forwards from his camp. The Moroquins stood upon the defensive, with a mass of cavalry of about 20,000 men. It appears that the Marshal has gained a complete victory, but parti culars are not yet known.

FORGERY OF DUTCH BlLLS.—Pietro Valler, a jeweller; Francisco Enrico, a fencing -master ; and Henry Har rison, a draper, were indi cte d w i t h f e l on i ous l y making certain orders fur the payment of money, purporting to be orders of the Directors of the Administration-office of Funds in the kingdom of the Netherlands. Mr. Bodkin addressed the jury for the prosecution, and Mr. Ballantyne, Mr. Charnock, and Mr. Clarkson, appeared for the prisoners. It will be in the recollection of our readers that the prisoners, through the prisoner Harrison, applied to an artist of the name of L ou i s Gl uc k Rosenthall, residing on Wellington-terrace, to engrave a copy of the coupons of the Netherlands' Bank. Mr. Rosenthal' thought there was something suspicious in the transaction, and he at once gave notice to the police, and also went to the Consul-General of th e N et h er l an d s , un d er wh ose direc tion Mr. Rosenthall completed the plate for the forgery. It was clearly proved that it was an attempt to defraud the Dutch Government, and the prisoners were then taken into cus t o d y. S everal witnesses were examined, who clearly proved the case against the prisoners. Mr. Clarkson addressed the jury for Enrico, Mr. Char nock for Valler, and Mr. Ballantyne for Harrison. Mr. Baron GURNEY summed up. Tho jury found all the prisoners Guilty, and Mr. Baron GURNEY sentenced them all to ten years' trans portation. TUE GRAND JURY.

E MBEZZLEMENT.—Frederick Gardner was placed at the bar charged with embezzling a sum of 14s. on the 9th of August, and a further suns of 41. 1 Is., received on the 10th, the property of Edin 4 Alexander. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner re ceived the money, but it was the habit of the prosecutor to allow th e p r i soner a b oo k i n w hi c h t h e mon ey re ceived was to be put down. It appeared that the pri soner had gi ven cre di t i n the b oo k f or h av i ng received the money, b ut state d that ho ha d l ost it out of hi s poelce t.—Th e p r i soner was acqu i tte d. William Bagshaw was charged with stealing two geese on the m orn i ng of the Bth of August , th e pr o p ert y o f Henry T ay l or, from his premises, 7 , York-street, West minster. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner was found with the two geese dead, concealed under a cloak, by the policeman on duty. He represented that he was going to make a present of them, and did not wish to let his wife know of it. The prisoner had been convicted before of robbing 50Z, and was but a short time since liberated from an imprisonment of nine months. The police-constable stated that the prisoner kept very bad company, and that he intended to give the geese to a woman of bad character. The prisoner was sentenced to seven years' transpor tation :everal of the Cabinet Ministers visited Sir Robert Peel this morning, at his residence in Whitehall-gar dens. The Right lion.

THIS DAY'S NEWS. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. RETURN of the PACHA of EGYPTg— ABDICATION RENOUNCED. PARIS, FRLDAY, THREE O'CLOCK. The annexed intelligence has reached the French Government to-day : " The Viceroy has abandoned his previous reso lution to abdicate, nor will he persist in his in tention of making the pilgrimage to Mecca. His return to Alexandria from Cairo is expected every moment." FRANCE AND MOROCCO. GUILDHALL.—(THIS DAY.) A respectable married female, named Elizabeth Gads ley, was placed before Alderman Challis, charged with an attempt upon her own life. The constable took her into custody in Finsbury -pave ment, and on searching her at the station-house, a quan tity of oxalic acid was discovered on her person. She was locked up in a cell, and endeavoured to effect stran gulation with her garters. The attempt was discovered in time to prevent a fatal consummation. The husband of the prisoner said that they had been married twenty-five years, and had lived happily to gether, but unfortunately they had had a few words on the preceding evening, and the quarrel had so affected her, that she had meditated the act of self-destruction. If the Magistrate would let her go, he would promise that she never should so commit herself again. The prisoner gave a like promise, and said that she now greatly repented of her purpose, and begged the Magistrate's and her husband's forgiveness. She was discharged. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) The Hon. Mr. Touchet was brought up this morning, for final examination, charged with firing a pistol at Mr. Smith, the gun-maker, in Holborn. Mr. Clarkson appeared for the prisoner. Mr. Smith was able to attend this morning ; and having been accommodated with a seat at the table, his evidence was taken. The facts of the case have already appeared on several occasions. Mr. Smith was bound over in the sum of 1001 to prosecute. The surgeon at the hospital was examined, and he stated, that the ball came away from the wound in Mr. Smith's back, on the 6th of the present month, having remained in the wound exactly a month. Mr. Smith was now out of danger. The several witnesses were then bound over to pro secute, and the prisoner was committed. MARKET NEWS—(THIS DAY.) COVENT-GARDEN.

HAMBURGH MAIL. BERLIN, Auo. 13.—The contagion of the riots of the workmen has extended to us. Yesterday evening there was, a disturbance in the great Dannenberg cotton manufactory. The workmen refused to work for the same wages as hitherto. The cause of this discontent is said to be the following:—Some time since a mode of finishing with new colours was introduced in this manufactory. As the work did not proceed so rapidly as by the old mode, the manufacturers allowed higher wages for this kind of work. The workmen, however, have since become so expert in the work, that they find it as easy as the old method. The manufacturers have therefore reduced their wages to what they were before. This has made them dissatisfactory. The police directly repaired with a sufficient force.to the spot, and all means of persuasion were used to quiet the men, and the neces sary precautions taken to prevent excesses. Unhappily, the evil has spread, and this morning the workmen in some other manufactories have declared that they will not work but for higher wages. Mr.; Goldschmidt, the proprietor of one of the largest establishments, was busy in making arrangements for the exhibition of the German manufactures, when he was called away. He told the men that he should not raise their wages, which was amply sufficient to support the workmen (to earn five or six - dollars a week, and if very diligent seven dollars), and thus every one was free to return to his work or to keep away. BRESLAU, AUG. 15.—The magistrates of the circle of Pless have issued the following proclamation : " In several parts of the monarchy a feeling of irrita tion against the Jews has manifested itself, and in some places has broken out in acts of violence. The expe rience of former times teaches us such feelings are con tageous, and that everything must he avoided which can tend to increase them. I am, therefore, instructed by superior authority to direct the police to pay especial at tention to this matter, and not only to prevent and stifle in the very beginning every outbreak of wantonness, in sult, and fanaticism against the Jews, but, if contrary to expectation, such hostile disposition should actually manifest itself, in words and deeds, to interfere with judg ments, and produce to the most decisive and energetic measures against the persons so offending." REVISING BARRISTERS. NORTHERN CIRCUIT. The Lord Chief Baron (Sir F. Pollock) has made the following appointments fos the current year : William Gray, Esq., Sir F. 11. Doyle, Bart., P. A.

FIRE AND Loss OF LlFE.—Yesterday morning, shortly after seven o'clock, a fire was discovered on the premises of Messrs. Woolley and Lofthouse, tar and turpentine distillers, Pump-fields, Vauxhall -road. It appears that three men were at a work in a shed in the yard, when one of them called out, " Save yourselves, men." The next moment an explosion took place, the cause of which has not yet been ascertained. Two of the men made their escape by jumping out of the window. The third was seen to advance as far as the door, where he became enveloped in flames, and was not afterwards seen alive. Mr. Hewitt, with three engines, water-carts, &c., arrived on the spot at half-past seven o'clock, and was soon followed by a large number of the fire brigade; and the engine belonging to the West of England fire office was also in att en d ance. By the most praiseworthy exertions the flames were subdued in about twenty minutes, and prevented from doing further damage. Mr. Hewitt and his men then commenced digging for the poor man who was missing, and near the door where he was last seen, his remains, burned almost to a cinder, were discovered. Another of the three men had his arm burned, and the hair of his head was much scorched. The premises, we believe, were insured. The name of the poor man who lost his life is Thomas Okenshaw. He was steady and industrious, and has left a widow and child, who were d e p en d en t u p on hi s exer ti ons , entirely destitute.—Liverpool Mercury. HARROGATE AND KNARESBOROUG II will be remem bered, rejected in Committee of the House of Commons, resolved, at a meeting held last week, to renew their application next session.

In a communication we have seen from Gibraltar, it is mentioned as a fact that the French Admiral's ship dis charged not less than 3,000 to 3,500 shots during the bombardment at Morocco. The Oporto wine trade have been relieved from all doubt as to the progress of any further negotiations with Portugal on the subject of an alteration of the duties. It has been officially stated that no further correspon dence between the two Governments is expected. The correspondence upon this subject will, no doubt, be found in another column of The Sun. This is quite a blank day in the City, as far as ar rivals from the colonies of later dates are concerned. The value of Consols has this morning scarcely been so high as it was yesterdiy. In the morning, for Money, there was a purchase, for transfer next week, at 98-4, but now the price is 981 for Time and for Money. The premium upon Exchequer Bills is a shade lower than it was in the early part of the day. Bank Stock is again at 1994, and India Stock at 282. A full amount of business has been done this morning in the Foreign Funds. French Five per Cents. have been firm at 119 f. 50e., the exchange remaining at 25f.50c. Belgian Bonds are a shade lower than they were. For the other foreign Stocks the demand has been very slight to-day. An improvement in the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway Shares has taken place this morning to 7s. premium. In other respects the market for most of the shares has been flat. The British North American Bank Shares are at 71- discount. THE BOURSE-SATURDAY, AUGUST 22. First highest Lowest Last Price. Price. Price.

It might very reasonably be asked has all the world mistaken the season ? Or has all the world resolved to stay in town for the judges' decision on the Irish appeal, and to anticipate even The Sun ex press on that important occasion ? Whatever may be the answer to these interesting questions, one thing is certain, that the exhibitions of science and art were never known to be so fully attended at this advanced period of the year as they are now. The fourteen loway Indians had yesterday a most crowded levee in Mr. Catlin's Indian Gallery, at the Egyptian Hal!. This exceedingly picturesque group, with their shorn and crested heads, tasteful, though wild, cos tume, and plaited scalp-lock, presented a spectacle of the deepest interest, and we heard more than one per son sighingly express a hope that however rapid may be the decline of this noble race of men, their extinc tion is not so certain as their patron apprehends. This party is composed of the most influential men of the tribe, and may be regarded as a sort of delegation from the red men, with the express permission of the American President, to exhibit to Europe the last remnant of that important branch of the human family which European aggression is rapidly extinguishing. Of the seven men who compose this party, three are chiefs, one of them (White Cloud), the first and he reditary chief, being six feet six inches high, and a remarkably handsome man. None of the other war riors are less than six feet high. They are also of muscular and robust make, except in the ar ms , w hi c h are exceedingly slend er , the biceps muscle especially being very poorly developed. Their war and other dances, songs, games, Sic., were exhibited with great spirit, and called forth repeated expressions of surprise and satisfaction from their numerous visitors. The boy ten years old, and little Papoose (who, by the way, was most amusingly sleepy) attracted, with the sedate and patient-looking squaws, perhaps quite as much attention as the warriors. We should have said that the exhibition was prefaced by an instructive and really eloquent lecture from Mr. Catlin, who was warmly applauded. ERRATUM.—in a paragraph relative to the floods on the continent, which appeared in The Sun of yester day, under the head of " Foreign Summary," the words "in Poland " were omitted. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT ON BOARD THE RIVER QUEEN.—On Wednesday afternoon, an accident of a frightful character took place on board the River Qu een upon her voyage to Ipswich from Walton-on-the-Naze, in Essex. It appears that the vessel, as usual upon days when she takes an " Excursion," had a crowded deck and cabin, and some parties to avoid the crush went down into the engine room, open under the permission of the engineer. Among these were Captain Robert Resker, of the Zephyr brig, belonging to this port, his wife, and several other persons. Resker afterwards came on deck and sat upon the hatches connected with the light above the engine room. From this position he was seen to rise, and then suddenly to fall backwards through an opening upon the engine, within the works of which he was caught, and though the engineer, prompt at his post, stopped the way of the boat immediately, the unfortunate man was crushed to death in an instant.— Suffolk Chronicle. MATCH AGAINST TINIE.-011 Thursday afternoon a match for fifty guineas took place on the Essex-road.
