However, the wrong is redressed, and we rejoice to find that it gives the old oppressors of Ireland such annoyance. In the reply of Sir ROBERT PEEL on Thursday af ternoon to the „questions of Sir CHARLES NAPIER and Mr. Tmossas DUNCOMBE, we are bound to as sume that the Premier stated with perfect sincerity his conviction that the French and English Govern ments had arrived at an amicable adjustment of the causes of offence—the somewhat threatening differ ences of opinion —which had arisen between them in connexion with the affair at Otaheite, and the bombardment of Tangiers and Mogadore. But as the Right Hon. Baronet absolutely declined to enter into any particulars of the terms or conditions on which our neighbours have consented to give us satisfaction for what he has himself denounced as " a gross out rage," in the Otaheite affairs, we have no better guarantee for the fact than his own impressions of the cordiality and frankness of the French Cabinet. We may be allowed, therefore, to return to the con sideration of the existing state of our navy, as if all hazard of a contingency that might call, abruptly and soon, for its efficient services, were not, of neces sity, concluded by the convictions so avowed by Sir ROBERT PEEL. In doing this we shall not appear to impugn the good faith of the French Ministry, but we shall act on the strength of the old maxim, that " the timeliest wisdom is the best." Now, we desire to direct the attention of the public—(for all appeals to the intervention of the official and'Executive autho rities on this topic have hitherto proved unavailing)— to the disgraceful manning of our ships, and the in evitable tendencies of the system at present pursued by the Admiralty, to increase and aggravate the dis organisation of her MAJESTT'S navy. Some of our readers may object to the frequency with which we recur to this topic; but a sense of its vital impor tance and our own duty compel us to this proceeding, and we have no doubt will be found to justify us in acting on that impulse. And it is evident that, of all the objects of a policy of precaution and foresight, the efficient manning of our ships of war is precisely that on which, "to be wise after the event," must con stitute the most ridiculous as well as the most pitiable —the most deplorable as well as the most absurd—of predicaments. To set about making provision for the proper manning of ships after they should have been actually sacrificed, or too disabled to carry their ade quate complements from the weakness of their crews, would exceed in ex post facto impotency the late sagacity of him who, carefully affixed a leek non his stable-door after his steed had been already carried off for want of one. It is to be remembered that France is neither the only, nor the most formidable, competitor with which, in an event that we put, for out present purpose, quite hypothetically, our navy would have to contend. We lately showed that, excepting one or two line-of battle ships, and a frigate or so on the coast of South America and on the 'West India station, one other in the Pacific, and, we believe, a few frigates of the larger and smaller class in the Chinese seas and the Indian Ocean, our force in line-of-battle ships was miserably deficient, assuming them even to be fully manned. Their total is soon reckoned. At Lisbon, the Caledonia, 120 guns—but she ought to be the flag-ship of the Admiral in command at Plymouth! On the coast of Morocco, the Albion, 90 ; in the Mediterranean, the Formidable, 80. Besides these three abroad, we have at Portsmouth, the Queen, 110—but she ought to be at Sheerness, where she ihould be bearing the Port-Admiral's flag ; at Ply mouth, the St. Vincent, 120—but she ought to be the flag-ship of the Admiral at Portsmouth. At Chatham Ind Sheerness, none; at Spithead, the noble flag-ship, Colling wood, 80—but she has taken out what the de nizen's of the Queen's Bench Prison used to call a " rule "—and although returned in the naval muster roll as one of the home-station flag-ships, she is making a little run presently for the Pacific. Thus we have, for Europe, cis et citra the Straits, three line-of battle ships in commission ; at home, six ; whereof one—the Queen, doing duty for Chatham, Sheer ness, and Portsmouth, all at once, has but half of her proper crew! A Correspondent of the Times, who signs himself " Tom Tough," in a well-written letter, illustrates the system of bungling, improvidence, and invidiousness on which, what we shall take leave to call, the business of dispersing, discouraging, and disgust. ing the seaman force of our navy, is carried on. This sailor complains as one of those suddenly thrown out of employ by late reductions in the navy, that, for the last three months, from 500 to 600 prime seamen (" able men," in the technical as well as ordinary sense of the phrase), have been starving about the purlieus of Portsmouth; vainly awaiting the commis iioning of the experimental brigs ;—that numbers of others who have been, all their lives men of wars , , nen, after pawning all they had for mere subsistence , ')ave been compelled to go into the merchants' ser vice, not a few into that of America. Let us pause, here, to consider the hardship to which this great, but ungrateful naval country, subjects those 'wave fellows, from whose undaunted intrepidity and sever-tiring energy she derives so great a portion of her grandeur and power in the array of nations. The very zeal they display in her service, their matchless activity, coolness, and resolution in the discharge of their professional duty, by expediting the achievement )f victory, if engaged on war duty, or the completion )f any given service assigned to them in time of peace—work to their own disadvantage. They are paid off with a rapidity proportioned to the vigour of their operations; and then, too much after the fashion adopted with those whom Byron calls The tools, the brokenagols, which tyrants cast away," they are left uncared for—unprotected against those )nly dangers, the dangers of being ashore, against which they know not how to defend themselves—un provided for against the wretched destitution of that wriod at which their confirmed habits of a sea life, and :heir ignorance of all others, leave them the despoiled tnd helpless prey of all the arts wherewith the most iefarious fraud and wholesale dissipation, surround ind overwhelm and ruin them in the first days of their ,naction on shore. Why should we not provide .sylums and a moderate sort of half-pay for these ine fellows, and thus accomplish at once the two in valuable ends of saving them from those sensual and. legrading habits into which, at present, they are apt to plunge with a sort of reckless desperation—in the very despair of doing any good for themselves, or find :ng themselves better off by abstaining from them; —and of having always in hand as it were —at our call—in any emergency—a permanent reserve of able inen, from whom certain proportions might be drafted into our ships of war, and incorporated with a suffi- Aent number of newer or younger hands to com plete their respective compliments ? The very ex >ense, even, of such a scheme, would scarcely exceed chat entailed by our present clumsy, impolitic, and inadequate modes of advertising, bounty-giving gimping, sending round steamers to pick men up in iutports—and, worst of all, occasional impress nent. But the result would be to get able hands nstead of raw landsmen—expert sailors, accustome 1 :o handle great guns as well as sails—and to render he service so popular and desirable, that every un .mployed able hand should be volunteering to enter m the first vacancy which might offer. In this way we should assuredly revive the enthusiasm of the brce (which was only equalled by its never-failing laring), that imparted their brightest lustre to the laurels of DUNCAN, and ST. VINCENT, and NELSON. We should hear no more of British seamen fighting under other colours than those of their native country, Or that country wants but one tie more irrevocably 0 attach the bravest of her sons to her ser aee and her vindication, and that is, the msuring, not alone for their old age, or for he physical disability, resulting from wounds and injuries s us t a i ned in her ' cause, but for those seasons ,f enforced and reluctant retirement from active ser . ice, some certain, though small, provision for their subsistence. The charge upon the country for such provision ought not of itself to stand in the way of the tdoption of some such plan ; for, in the meanwhile iThat are the dangers we are incurring in the absence , f any such arrangements ? The writer we have iuoted from above, remarks, on the entry of 100 sea nen on the dockyard-books, in lieu of 100 labourers, hat good seamen, accustomed to an active life and ever-changing scenes, would soon grow weary of 'uch occupation as this plan opens to them.

The Tory journals are in the depths of despair a the release of Mr. O'CONNELL and his colleagues hi the decision of three Whig Lords. The Post blame: us for reproaching Lord LANGDALE because he di( not support his party, and thereby infers that we re garded the opinions of Lords DENMAN, COTTENIIAM, and CastenELL, as given for party motives. It would be difficult to find more conscientious and up right men than these - three Noble Lords, even among the exemplary bench of England. We believed that they gave their judgment fr o m th e s t ronges t conviction th a t ywe_re right, and their unanswerable • arg uments s t a tement. Our reason bear us out in thi .for blami ng L or d LANG DALE was this. " He knew well that a majority of the House of Lords were hostile to Alr. O'Cornisr.J. ; he knew that if the questions at issue came to a ge neral vote, the Tory votes would p • yet he neither lent his powerful talents nor his vote to avert such- a calamity. The man who asserts that it would not have become a party question but for the inter. position of Lord WHAENCLIF FE, requires no answer. The Tory Peers on the benches numbered two to one compared with their opponents. Several of them, who had not heard the arguments, and knew as little about the points at issue as the man in the moon,. cried out, " Not content." Fortunately, the discretion of the Government, which the Post hates more than it hated the old Whigs, saved the character of the House, and for once did justice to Ireland. This is the real ground of complaint. The Tories, supposing it would be made a party question (and who did not ?), believed that the judges had crammed the lay Peers, and that the here ditary legislators would, as in duty bound, implicitly bow to their opi n i on , w ith ou t t a ki ng i nto account one y i verb inportß7A consideration, namely, that the whole merits of the case were not placed before them. The n questions f or t h e i r ' dec. • were drawn up in the THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, SE-PTEMBER 7, 1844. The decision of the House of Lords in the case of ,he "Irish conspirators" —as they have been called for the last six months—will, we trust, go far to re move the notion so long entertained in Ireland, that that country had nothing to expect from the justice of England. The highest Court of Judicature in the Empire has now proved to demonstration that this notion is an unfounded one. Justice has been done to Ireland, and common sense asserted its supremacy by the unconditional release of men who ought never to have been found guilty. The news of the decision of the House of Lords occasioned a great sensation throughout Dublin the instant it reached that city; the decision was evidently an unexpected one, and in their first surprise people seemed scarcely to know whether they were justified in giving credit to it or not. By this time the auspicious intelligence must be generally diffused throughout the sister country; and are we indulging in too favourable an anticipation, if we say that it is likely to moderate much of the ill-feeling and distrust that of late years Ireland has expressed so decidedly towards England ? Whether it will have that effect or not, we cannot undertake to say with confidence; but we hope it will, and moreover we hope that it will tend in some degree to check the pro gress of the Repeal question, by convincing Irishmen of all classes that England is by no means such an inve terate enemy to their natural interests as they hsd imagined. Meanwhile, in what light will Mr. O'CoN NELL regard this important decision, which unbars the gates of the Richmond Penitentiary, and leaves him free once again to rove with his gun and his dogs over the mountain steeps of Derrinane, or listen—to use his own favourite poetic phrase— to " the murmur of the Atlantic wave that rolls in unbroken from the free coast of America." 'Will he regard the decision' with lofty indifference, or with eager exultation ? Will he be stimulated by it to make fresh exertions in the cause of Repeal, or will he quietly lay by for a while, watch the progress of events, and be guided by circumstances, ready to renew his agitation the in stant he discovers that nothing is to be hoped for Ireland at the hands of the Conservative Ministry ? If he be wise, the latter is the course he will adopt, for Government has already led people to believe that, during the recess, they will be busy with some reme dial measures for Ireland, which they will take the earliest opportunity of bringing forward next session ; and it would be scarcely just or fitting—notwith standing that they have been so tardy in coming to some determination on this point —to which, by the bye, they have been brought evidently less from in clination than from the pressure of inexorable ne cessity ; it would scarcely, we say, be just or fit ting in Mr. O ' CONNELL to throw any obstacles in the way of Government's remedial measures by con tinuing the vigorous agitation of the Repeal question By so doing, he will not only in some degree be crippling the movements of Ministers, but be fur nishing them also with an excellent plea for backing out of their projected remedies, in case—ii is by no means impossible—they should be smitten with a sudden fit of decided Toryism. The most prudent game that Mr. O'CONNELL can play at the present juncture, is to rest quietly on his oars, and vigilantly watch the direction that events are taking. If these— notwithstanding the conciliatory announcement o Sir ROBERT PEEL towards the close of the last ses• clusion. THE BOURSE—TuunsDAY, SEPT. 5. First Highest Lowest Last Price. Price. Price.

This morning, shortly after two o'clock, the whole of th,) southern part of London was thrown into a state of the in Consequence of the outbreak of tm a u mos o t st excitement, extensive fire. sion—be unequivocally adverse to Irish interests ' The premises in which the fire originated was in the occupation of Mr. Cleave Hooper, an extensive tanner and factor, situate in the Spa-road, Bermondsey. The principal building was a warehouse, entirely constructed of wood, termed a barkbarn, having an altitude of 80 feet. It. was 60 feet in depth and 100 in length. This was adjoined by the engine and boiling-house, extensive drying lofts, also built of wood, the area in front forming the tan-pits, being corered by an immense roofing. The fire appears to have been discovered at a few mi nutes after two o'clock by the police, but before the con stables had time to communicate the discovery, the n flames burst out with frightful vi o l ence , enc ir c ling the w in a ge ne r a l blear.. parish engine of B e rmondsey h l o n le about of th that tent line mi o u f t p e s r property arrived, but some time elapsed before it could be brought into operation. Before then, however, an engine from the brigade station in Southwark-bridge -road, under the charge of Mr. Henderson, the foreman of the southern division of the establishment, and was immediately fol. lowed by the engine from Tooley-street station. In addition to the boiling and engine -house, the fire had extended along the whole line of drying lofts and work shops, to contiguous property of the same class belong. ing to Mr. llugman, also a tanner. The engines of the brigade, the moment they arrived, were supplied by a good stream of water from the plugs. The firemen used the utmost expedition in getting to work, their attention being wholly directed to the preservation of the warehouse, or bark barn ; the flames, however, beat over from the opposite direction, and attacked the gable end of the building, which instantly ignited. By three o'clock the whiile biady of the warehouse was one solid mass of fire, and the flames rose, in a huge bulk, to an amazing altitude. A number of other engines of the brigade had by this time reached the scene of desolation, and were arranged in the best possible positions by Mr. Braidwood, the superintendent. Unfortunately the sup ply of water was so diminished by the great number of engines got early to work, that ver y f ew c ould even tually be kept in play. These were judiciously brought to bear on the remaining portion of Mr. Hooper's pre mises. The flames in that direction were stopped without doing much damage to the adjoining building. The conflagration, however, had communicated to two stacks of tan in the yard at the back of the tan-pits ; thence to the stabling, and lastly to another large bark warehothe at the back of Mr. Hooper's bark barn, then burned down the property of Messrs. Easton, tanners and factors, approached by the same inlet as that which led to the premises of Mr. Hooper. Immediately the disco very was made, two engines were taken round and got to work, and all.possible exertions were made to stop the further progress of the fire. This was accomplished as far as had reference to the outside of the bark stored there ; but the fire having penetrated the heart of the immense pile, it still continues to burn, and it is sup posed that it will continue to do so for several days to come, if. it be made undeniably manifest that Ministers can do nothing, and will do nothing fur the welfare of the sister country, then it will be time enough to renew the agitation for Repeal—an agitation which is only justifiable when it is shown to be the last re- source of national despair. But to agitate that ques tion just now, when the Ministerial plans are incom. plete, and may possibly, when matured, turn ou to be much more efficient than was anti cipated—what is this but. to refuse fair play to Government, and in some degree to incapacitate them from satisfactorily accomplishing that which, nevertheless, you most wish they should accomplish ? By delaying the agitation of Repeal for a season, Mr. O'CoNNEu deprives Ministers of every plausible pretext of backing out of their reme• dial projects; he gives them an opportunity of show ing their faith by their works, and at the same time he satisfies that love of fair play which is a conspi cuous feature in the English character. Madrid journals of, the 30th ult. have been received. According to letters of the 17th of August, some of them received at Gibraltar from Oran, the Moors were again assembling an army on the frontiers, near the camp of Marshal BUGEAUD. who, it is said, had ordered fresh reinforcements to join him from Oran. This, however, is very improbable. Intelligence from Cadiz to the 26th had reached Madrid, but no men tion is made of the Prince de JOINVILLE and the French squadron. 'We are therefore to infer that a paragraph which appears in some of the Paris jour nals, announcing the Prince's arrival there on the 24th, is incorrect.

Intelligence of the acquittal of Mr. O'CoNNELL and his fellow-prisoners was received in Paris by telegraphic dispatch, on Thursday, and excited uni versal joy. The Speech of the QUEEN, and the result of the deliberation in the Cabinet Couricil on the Otaheite affair, were looked to with much interest. The article put forth by the Times of Tuesday, an nouncing the probable settlement of the misunder standing between the two countries, had been re ceived by only one journal ; and, as far as we can learn, had given much satisfaction to the friends of peace. Whether the manner in which the affair has been arranged will please the war party, is another matter. All the articles in the Opposition, and some of the Government journals on Tuesday, were written in the belief that the ultimatum of the French Government would be rejected. The Globe, M. GUIZOT . S paper, is an exception, and contains an article which leaves no doubt that it had received some communications which could be depended on. That journal says Up to ten o'clock the fire was still raging, although it had a considerable time previously been so far checked, as to guarantee that it would extend no further. The amount of property destroyed was currently re ported to be at least 20,000/., but at present, of course, we have no means of obtaiking a real estimate.

KENNOWAY---SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—As Mr. Russell, of Coul, and his wife were proceeding to Carriston House to dinner, on Tuesday last, the wind blew back the winkers of his horse, when the animal took fright and ran of at a tremendous pace. Messrs J. Fernie and William Ballingal were on the road before, and bound for the same place. On seeing Mr. Russell's gig coming forward at such a rapid rate, Mr. Ballingal drew off into a field, and Mr. Fernie drew his gig to the side of the road, and leaped out. Mr. Russell, having lost the corn. mand of his horse, could not guide it past Mr. Fernie's gig. They cam e in contact, and Mr. and Mrs. Russell were thrown out. Mrs. Russell had her corar-bone broken and two ribs ; and Mr. Russell was himself a good deal bruised.—F ife Herald. MAIDSTONE BRANCH RAILWAY.—The corporation r authorities of .Maidstone are very properly preparing to celebrate the opening of the branch railway to their borough by a public entertainment to the directors.— Railway Record. " Our readers know that we have never ceased to believe, not only in the preservation of peace between France and England, but also in the maintenance of good harmony and a cordial understanding between the two Governments. We still have the same confidence, and, indeed, adhere to it more firmly than ever. As the question becomes stripped of its extraneous complica tions, in proportion as the men who have to resolve it are relieved from the pressure made upon them by the Chambers and the journals, they have drawn nearer to a mutual understanding, and daily made steps to concilia tion ; and, we venture to say, that the incident which has so much occupied the public mind is on the point of receiving that solution which is so earnestly desired by all the friends of order and peace in both countries. We are bound to congratulate the two Governments on the good sense they have shown in suffering themselves to be guided, not by an exaggeration of the point of honour, but by a calm, intelligent, and elevated ap preciation of th e ser i ous i nterests o f t wo g reat nations, in whose co ncor d i s i nvo l ve d t h e peace o f the world.

'n our present unprepared state, in a tempest blowing The following are miscellaneous extracts from the 'rom the direction of Tunis. papers : " The Prince de Joinville was at Cadiz on the 23d ult. He was to embark in the Pluton steamer to pro ceed to Oran, where Marshal Bugeaud is to wait for him. He was to go from that place to Bona, to visit the Duke d'Aumale, and thence to return to France by Toulon. A letter from this town of the Ist states that all the officers of the navy were ordered to be ready to receive the Prince, who was expected from one moment to another. The Sub-Prefect had convoked the Municipal Council extraordinarily to deliberate on the measures to be taken to give his Royal Highness a fitting reception." The Conititutionnel says :—" The promotions pre pared by the Minister of Marine are to he dated from the day of the inauguration of the statue of Admiral Du quesne, at Dieppe. The fete is to last three days, but the day orinauguration is not yet named. It is to be regulated.by - the King's journey to Eu." ... The Frankfurter Journal gives the following from WTilna, 27th ult. : " Notwithstanding all that has been done in favour of the Jews, on the frontiers of Russia and Poland, their translation is decided upon as the only means of maintaining the system of exclusion and the law which protects it. There are comprised in this measure 100,000 Israelites. It is true that the richer Jews have received permission to sell their landed property, and fix their residences where they wish. This is deemed a favour, but it is in truth an illusion ; for the sale of their estates being a forced one, they will have great difficulty in finding purchasers at their just value, and they at the same time must limit their new abodes within one or other of the Governments which formed part of the kingdom of Poland before the first partition." " A letter from Graetz, in Styria, quoted by the "lugs. burg Gazette, states, that on the 26th ult., at the moment the troops were filing off before the E:nperor and Em press of Austria, four piers that supported an iron rail way near her Majesty fell down, and killed two men and injured several others, amongst whom were two captains, very severely. " A letter from Copenhagen states that the Russian fleet took its departure from Elsinore on the 26th ult., passed Copenhagen in the afternoon, and entered the Baltic. " The National asserts, that in the Morocco affair, France has manifestly been the dupe of Abderrahrnan and England, and that, thanks to the concessions of Al.

The worshipful the mayor (William Haslett, Esq.), accompanied Sir Robert Sale to the house of John Dysart, Esq., in Shipquay-street, to whom the hero of Jellalabad is on a visit. The joy -bells rang merrily through the day, and successive peals of artillery re- I sounded from the wall s a t i n t erva l s.

Sir Robert Sale will be enter tained at as sumptuous a banquet as Derry can afford, of Friday next, in Corporation Hall, where he will be not by as many gentry of the district as the Hall will a:- commodate, and a ball will be given in honour of Laly Sale on the Tuesday evening following.

HORRIBLE MODE OF PUNISHMENT AMONG THE CINGALESE.—One of the most dreadful punishments devised by the cruelty of man'is practised by the Cinga lese, and some of our soldiers in former times were victims of their atrocity. When any of these were taken prisoners, they were stripped naked, smeared over with wild honey, and tied to a tree in the vicinity of ant hills. Thus exposed, they were speedily covered by myriads of these insects, which in a few days consumed their flesh, and left nothing but white bones to bleach in the sun. tunda Theatre. A REASON AGAINST A RAwAY.--One of the hotel keepers at Bowness, Winermere, decl a r e d th at they did not want a railway to ti Lakes, " because it will increase the number of visits, and they are already so full they don't know what trio"—like the fat boy, blubbering over his pudding, betuse he couldn't eat any more !—Railway Record, When Lord Nelson first appeared at the levee at St. James's, after losing his arm, his Majesty, acknow ledging his great services, added, "but your country has a claim for a bit more of you."—Life of Lord Eldon.
