THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 17, 844. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAT. STANDARD.—The gratifying announcement of the re-establishment of peace between Trance and Morocco, has given the coup de grace to the insinua tion so frequently repeated, of the Morning Chronicle, and other English war journals, that the French Government were not sincere in their professions of peace, but had framed their ultimatum with an ex. press view to render its acceptance impracticable. Lord Aberdeen was, of course, reviled for not elis ' covering at once the trick which M. Guizot was play ing upon him ; and the latter Minister denounced for an insincerity which had no existence save in the imagi nations of his traducers. According to these alarmists, France was preparing to occupy and garrison all the principal ports upon the coast of Morocco; and thus " convert the Mediterranean into a French lake." Meanwhile, the British Minister for Foreign Affairs was said to be looking on with his arms folded, con tent with assurances which were never designed to be fulfilled ! It - was in vain that the French Ministerial press repeatedly declared that there ex isted no intention on the part of their Government to occupy, further than for a temporary purpose, any part of Morocco; and that their sole object , in persevering in their hostile operations was to secure France from the repetition of aggressions on her territory, the wantonness of which has never for a moment been denied. The seizure of the island of ,Mogadore by the Prince de Joinville, for the purpose of facilitating his operations against the town, was made the pre text for an imputation of bad faith to the French Cabinet; and the English public was gravely in formed that unless it was forthwith evacuated, its occupation would furnish a casus belli which it would be impossible for Ministers to disregard. Strange to say, the very journal in which this preposterous doctrine was first broached (a journal which, by the way, makes a vast pretence of the authenticity of its foreign intelligence), is now as busily employed in writing down the " alarmists, who could see in this little island a whole king dom, and denounce its seizure as a casus belli !" nay, even pretends to have suffered a martyrdom for the vigour and constancy of its efforts in the cause of peace Now all readers of newspapers must be aware that it was the violence of this most pacific journal (modified, afterwards, to be sure, like- the roar of Bottom, to the gentleness of " the sucking dove"), which helped to create the angry feeling which has occasioned so much difficulty to the Go vernments of the two countries. The original " roar" on the subject of Otaheite was hardly less bellicose. We have no desire to remember the " eccentricities" of our Contemporary; but that it should now claim to have predicted an issue which it did its best to prevent, is rather too absurd. When others regarded war as imminent, we knew, or fancied we knew, enough of the good sense and moderation of the great majority of the people of both nations, and the just and moderate views of their Govern ments, to enable us to predict with certainty that no interruption of the general peace would arise. We have seen nothing, throughout, in either the untoward affair of Otaheite or the hostile ope rations of the French against Morocco, to warrant any other conclusion. As for the bugbear of a French occupation of Morocco, we showed that beside the impolicy of the attempt because it could yield no fruit, its success was a physical impossibility. Had we denied all credit to the repeated and emphatic assurances of the French Government, of the sincerity of which, however, no reasonaMe doubt could have been entertained, we should still have predicted the same result. We have not therefore, to learn, at this time of day, from our om niscient Contemporary, that " we are not likely to be brought into a foolish war by Lord Aberdeen or by M. Guizot." The willingness which France has dis played to fulfil her engagements in regard to Morocco, could not have been more clearly illustrated than by her recent offer to the Emperor of the same terms as were dictated to him before the bombardment of Tangiers and Mogadore and the brilliant victory of . Isly ; without demanding a farthing by way of in demnity for the very great expense to which she has been put by her land and sea expedi tions. When we add that even this evidence of moderation did not earn for her the approval of the war faction in this country, we may fairly claim for the French Government that its motives should not be disparaged, or its sincerity questioned, be cause of the blindly furious attacks of M. Thiers' press on England. The object of the war parties in both countries is purely selfish; for, although they do their utmost to stimulate the prejudices of both countries against each other, we doubt the sincerity of the anger by which they profess to be instigated. The aggrandisement of their party, which they look for in the confusion inseparable from an European war, is their prevailing motive ; for this purpose the French Republican and Legitimatist are allied against the Government, with the firm determination, should they succeed in their primary object, forthwith to array themselves against each other. The defeat of the ultima spec of this unprincipled and traitorous faction is, therefore, a subject of triumph not merely to the French Government, but to every sincere advocate for peace throughout Europe. All the conditions of the treaty have, it appears, been accepted by the Emperor of Morocco ; and there seems to be no ground for the belief that the one which demands the expulsion of Abd-el-Kader from his territories will be insisted on too literally, if he evinces the disposi tion to fulfil it so far as its spirit and intention are concerned. GLOBE.—While every one else is looking with expectation almost amounting to confidence, that the Government must retire, discomfited and dismayed by the pressure of difficulties which increase and strengthen from every point, the Government oracle is expatiating with delight on the peace and safety which encircle it The only possible danger that can arise proceeds from the strength of its po sition. Strength may lead to confidence ; con fidence may engender satisfaction and indolence; and thus, the very source of security may - become the cause of danger. Thus vaticinates the Ministe rial organ of the morn :—" We may be too confident in our strength. With a large and growing majority in Parliament—with an Opposition gradually waning till there is danger of its sinking altogether out of public regard—the Conservative party may become satisfied and indolent, and fancy that there is nothing more to be done. This would be a dangerous delusion. We may be excused if our view of the Ministerial position differs in some degree from the flattering opi nion thus boastfully put forth. We neither think the Government so strong as is here affirmed; nor do we think its policy so fraught with wisdom as the enormous praises of our Contemporary seem to imply. We are unreasonable enough to ask for proof. From what quarter of the globe—from what department of the Administration, can they draw the evidence on which Ministers rest their claims to national confi dence ? India has been jeopardized by the Admi nistration of the Governor-General they selected as their agent in that distant and critically-circum stanced empire ; and was only delivered from the evils which perilled the empire, and the ruin which threatened the finances of the East India Company, by the firm interference of the Court of Directors, who recalled him from his post. India was preserved from great peril and danger, if not from the absolute estrange ment and confederated repudiation of British dominion on the part of the native Princes —not by wisdom and energy in the Ministers of the Crown, but in spite of the absence of both in their policy towards that empire. The firmness of the plain, practical men who constitute the executive in Leadenhall-street, preserved the British Empire in the East from the sad con sequences which would have ensued had the " Brummagem Napoleon" continued to play his fan tastic tricks, and issue his mock Oriental proclama tions, to the alternate amusement and contempt of all classes in that country. Lord Ellenborough's recal —and the circumstances which preceded and attended his recal—stamp his administration with disgrace, and cover the Ministry which appointed him with confusion. If we turn to the colonies, we find dissatisfaction with the policy of Government per vading the population. Canada is unsettled. South Australia sinks into poverty, and is loud in her complaints of the neglect to which she is con signed. New Zealand is doomed to linger under the effect of unfulfilled promises of aid ; the Colonial Secretary is condemned by a Parliamentary Com mittee of his own selection. The West India planters both in the colonies and at home, are recording their dissatisfaction with the Government in reso lutions strongly condemnatory of the alterations in the import duties on the produce of the islands. Ireland is a sleeping volcano. The fires which burn beneath her surface may burst forth in a moment, and convulse the nation with apprehensions, and the country in conflagration. The entire policy of Go vernment in that country has been frustrated. The escape of O'Connell, by the reversal of the judgment and the consequent stultification of the protracted prosecution, has covered Ministers with defeat, and filled them with dismay. The " difficulty" of go verning Ireland has now reached the verge of im possibility. Sir R. Peel's grand panacea has failed ; and failed at the moment when complete success was predicted from the experiment. What will Sir R. Peel do now ? is on every lip,— and is depicted on almost every countenance. The universal expectation is, that be will acknowled g e his incompetency to deal with th e difficulties, thus increased in number and multiplied in force ; and will retire from the post he can no longer maintain. 107 31% 66 456 110 163 :37 11*g 101% 21% 3 16 3 24 21X, 120 29% 19 18% 16S 5% 400 11. 131. 40s. 21s. 23% 44% 17 164 33 25 2534 1Z 75% 108% '794 6g, 11 67 TIIE LONDON GAZETTE.

For New Muscatel Raisins the rates asked are 95s for boxes in layers; 515 s for and 61 for i-do, but at these high rates there are no buyers. RUM, BRANDY, AND ITOLLANDS.—For the low and mid dling qualities of Jamaica Rum previous rates are fully sustained, and for good and fine kinds buyers have been compelled to pay a further advance of Id to 2d per gall. The home and export demand has been brisk, and the total purchase amount to 280 puns since this day week ; 30 to 36 per cent over proof, fair quality, at 3s 9d to 3s 11d, 32 to 34 over good 3s 10d to 4s 3d. 32 to 36 over fine 4s 6d to ss, 32 to 36 over superior 5s 3d to 5s 6d, and 17 puns very fine high flavour of a favourite mark at 8s 9d per gallon : of the latter sort the quantity at market is . far from ample for th e d eman d. L eewar d s sold at 2s 5d to 2s sid per gallon proof • Demerara at 3s 2d to 3s 6d for good and fine. Calcutta Rum at 2s 3d to 2s 3d for proof with certificate. The deliveries of West India for exportation are 1,480 casks more than they were lastyear, but for home consumption they are rather less. of East India the home deliveries are 632 casks less than they were last season, but for exportation 512 casks larger ; the stock is 3,229 casks less than in 1643 to this time. Brandy of common quality 2s lld to 3s 3d per gallon. In the better sorts of Brandy the purchases made have been trifling ; Cognac, best brands of the vintage of 1838, hhds 5s 2d, puns 5s ; do 1839, hhds 6s, puns 45 10d, do 1840, hhds 4s I Id, puns 4s 9d; do 1841, hhds 4s 10d, puns 4s Id; do 1842, hhds 4s 7d, puns 4s sd, mid to good mid 3s 4d to 4s 2d per per gallon: The accounts from France are highly satis factory for the vintage. Geneva is still wanted by shippers at is 10d to - Is I Id, and for fine the home trade pay 2s 6d to 3s 6d per gallon. The value of English Corn Spirits is lOs 6d per gallon cash. To-day the transactions in Jamaica Rum were to a large extent at very full rates ; the quantity sold amounted to 300 puns at 3s 10d to 4s 2d for 30 to 34 per cent over proof ; Leewards are much wanted, and 2s 51d to 2s 6d paid for proof : Demerara in increased request at the former currency. RICE—The market having been well supplied with Bengal Rice has produced a decline in prices of 3d per cwt, a good demand however has prevailed, and 2443 bags at auction were all disposed of ; small broken white at lOs 6d to Its good middling sound Its to I Is- 6d good bold cleaned by machinery at Calcutta Its 6d and sea damaged 4s to lOs 6d per cwt. Of Foreign East India Rice several parcels have been sold privately,' bull not at better prices : Madras yellow fetching 8s 3d to 8s 6d ; Java white 9s to I Is, and yellow 8s to 9s per cwt. For cleaned Rice there-is at present not much demand ; 21s to 27s is the value of Caroline; and 13s to 17s per cwt for Patna. This afternoon the few parcels of East India Rice dis posed of privately were rather under those previously quoted. SALTPETRE.—Rough is not much wanted at present by shippers or the home trade, and by private contract little business has been transacted, but holders will not submit to any decline in prices. English refined has moved off slowly at 29s 6d to 30s per cwt. INDlGO.—Although the accounts received from Cal cutta are favourable for the Indigo crop, still holders here manifest firmness, and supply the market sparingly; parcels cannot - be purchased, excepting at prices fully equal to those of the last quarterly sale ; indeed, picked lots are fetching a small advance. Ons.--Cocoa Nut Oil has met with increased atten tion, but holders have not been able to obtain any ad vance in prices; At auction, Cochin China sold at 28s 6d to 29s per cwt for fine quality, being the former worth. Palm at 24s 9d to 26s 3d per cwt for low to good. The market is in a dull state for Linseed Oil, and prices are still going down sales on the spot having been made at 23s 6d to 23s 9d per cwt.

British is 851 to 86/, and American 821 to 83/ per tun. This afternoon for Linseed Oil, an extensive busi ness was transacted at stiffer rates. TALLOW.—The market has been in a quiet state for Russian Tallow, and there is generally more inclination on the part of the merchants to realise. There has been only &limited demand for P.Y. Candle on the spot, 41s to 4ls 3d accepted for old, and 4ls 6d to 41s 9d per cwt for new quality. For delivery the transactions have been ex tremely limited, and there are sellers at 41s 9d for the last three months of the year.

By a letter received at Llyod's, from their agent at Bristol, it appears that advices had been received by the writer, from Icliaboe, of the 6th July last, from which it appears that serious disturbances had occurred amongst a portion of the 'vessels loading with guano, and that se veral parties had been put in irons and forwarded to St. Helena. The officers selected by the Committee appointed by Captain Brooks, of her Majesty's steam ship Thunderbolt, to form a judicial body, had elected Captain Albert Hancock, of the Victoria, Commodore, who deemed it advisable, the island being in a state of mutiny, to send to the Cape for the assistance of a man of- war. The brig. Canning had been dispatched for that purpose. The number of vessels loading at the date of the Jotter above-mentioned, is represented to have been between seventy and eighty, and the origin of the dia. turbances was from the new-comers at tempting to take pre. cedence of previous arrivals in the loading of the vessels, EAST INDIA SHIPPING.

SMUGGLING ON A LARGE SCALE. — Muc h excite ment was produced at Hull on Wednesday by a startling discovery. While the Ellen Crawford, Captain Newby, from Hamburgh, lying in the Junction Dock, was de livering shoddy and .. devil's-dust," a quantity of tobacco was found in one of the bales of the hold. On further search, two otherbales, in the hold and one upon the quay, which had passed the landing-waiter's'scales, were found to be in the smile condition. The discovery was made by a tid e - wa i ter named Holmes, who gave in f ormat i on to his supe r i or o ffi cer, Tide-surveyor Gl ea d ow, b y w h om the vessel, cargo, an d crew we re immediately placed under sei zure . The quantity of to b acco f oun d was 4 cwt., 3 qr s ., 2 4 1 b., the whole of which was, we under stand,'manufactured, and of the finest quality. So badly had the concealment been made, that the first bale in which any was found actually fell to pieces in the hold. But for th ateireumstance, it is probable the whole would have escaped, as one bale had already passed the land ing-waiter.---Rull Packet.

Arago made some remarks on the comet disco vered at Rome on the 22d ult., and observed at the Paris Observatory in the nights of the 2d, 3d, 4th, 7th, and Bth of the present month. The elements of this comet have been calculated at Paris by M. Goujon, who found that its distance at the perihelium was 1.27433. This comet has a strong resemblance to that perceived in 1585 by Tycho- Brahe, and calculated by Halley. It is true that the distance of that comet was found to be 1.09358, but this difference is not fatal to the identity. The comet of 1585 was equal to Jupiter in size, but much less brilliant; it was neither tailed nor bearded. The comet discovered on the 22d ultimo has a very brilliant nucleus. M. Selligues, who lately reported to the Academy his discovery of a new and important motive power as a substitute for steam, and which consists in the admixture of atmo spheric air with hydrogen gas, by which an explosion is produced, made another communica tion at this sitting, from which it appears that the detonating power ceases under pressure. This strange phenomenon has proved an obstacle to the experi ments of M. Selligues before the Committee ap pointed by the Academy; bat he is about to trace the cause, and remove the obstacle. Notwith standing the difficulties which have interposed themselves, M. Arago has convinced himself of the importance of the discovery, and has reported to the Academy that, with so small a quantity as three to five litres of hydrogen gas, mixed with atmospheric air, a weight of 1,000 kilo grammes was raised to the height of three feet. The advantages of M. Selligue's invention, if it can be brought into practical use, will be very great; for th e apparatus f or the production of hydrogen gas will occupy much less room, and cost less money than steam-boilers, and the stowage re quired for fuel, which is now the great obstacle to long voyages, will be dispensed with. The space now assigned for the store of coals may be used for mer chandise, and, consequently, the transport of both merchandise and passengers could be effected at a cheaper rate. M. Arago requested the Academy to add MM. Binet and Cauchy to the Committee appointed to report upon the system of railroads invented by the Marquis de Jouffroy. The request was immediately complied with. The Committee now consists of MM. Arago, Piobert, Dupenoy, Binet, and Cauchy. M. Longet read an account of a series of experiments, made by himself and M. Mateucci, on the action of electricity on the nervous system. Their experiments confirm all those made by Mr. Charles Bell on this subject. A communication was received from M. Pappen heim, Professor of the University of Breslau, on the diseases of the fibrous system. Having remarked on the diseases of the system, although it was supposed that many of the parts which constitute it were without nerves, he commenced an investigation, and with the aid of the microscope discovered a great number of nerves in the cellular tissue. They envelope or are always connected with arteries, but never with veins. A paper was received from M. Guyon, head physician of the army in Africa, on the race of men called Cagots, who were described by him in a former paper as 'perpetuating in the Pyrenees the ancient Goths, who at different periods were driven to these mountains as places of refuge. The anatomical distinction of the Cagots, says M. Guyon, is the form of the ear, which is round, and without lobule. A great number of these persons are cretins; but this infirmity is owing to their residence in deep valleys, and to the miserable life that they lead there. As a race, the men are of a hi g h s t a t ure , an d exceedingly well made. A letter was read from M. Schultz, of Berlin, correcting a popular error as to the action of planets upon the atmosphere. It has hitherto been generally believed that planets decom pose the carbonic acid of the air that surrounds them ; M. Schultz, however, declares, from the ex periments that he has made on the m.ubject, that the oxygen which they produce is not supplied by a decomposition of the air, hut by the different acids which they contain, and which are derived from the earth. THE ROBBERY OF PLATE AT THE COVE OF CORK BY LIEUT. PUDDI COMBE. The officers of the Marine force stationed at Spike Island, of which force Lieut Puddicombe is a member, have addressed the following letter to Capt. Warren : " Lieut.-Col. Burton, and the officers of the battalion of Royal Marines serving in Ireland, beg, individually and collectively, to convey to Captain Warren the ex pression of their indignation at the reported conduct of one of their brother officers, Lieut. Puddicombe. for whose infamous violation of every principle of hospita lity and hoaor in Captain Warren's house, on a recent occasion, they blush with shame. " But while the Lieutenant-Colonel and officers de plore, and repudiate in the highest degree, the scandalous act with which Lieutenant Puddicombe stands charged, they feel that they cannot in any way be identified with it ; nor can they admit that the character of their corps is, in the remotest possible manner, affected by the op probrious misdeeds of an unworthy member ; and the Lieutenant-Colonel and officers rest satisfied that Cap tain Warren will fully enter into, and participate in their feelings, and concur with them in the view which they have taken of the circumstances of this lamentable affair. "It only remains for the Lieutenant-Colonel and officers to intimate to Captain Warren their intention to see such measures immediately adopted, as will remove Lieutenant Puddicombe from her Majesty's service ; and the Lieutenant-Colonel and officers beg Captain Warren will hare the kindness to allow them to make good the articles of plate that have been abstracted. " Head-Quarters, Spike Island, 10th Sept., 1844." The following particulars relative to ,the accused are given in the Cork Constitution:— " The name of the accused is Robert Bruce Puddi combe, a First Lieutenant i n th e R oya l Mar i nes, who has been stationed for some time at Haulbowline Island in charge of the supernumerary force attached to the flag-ship of Rear-Admiral Sir Hugh Pigot, in command of the Irish squadron. On ref rence to Haultaine's "New Navy List," Mr. Puddicombe appears to have entered the service the 20th February, 1834, and his commission as First Lieutenant bears date the 26th August, 1838. It is said that he became attached to the force when but sixteen years of age, and, therefore, has merely entered on his 27th year. He is a member of a highly respectable family residing in Devonshire. On Monday morning he was put under close arrest, a sentinel being placed upon his room door. In the course of the day it was intimated to a magistrate at Cove that it would be prudent to have the prisoner removed in to the custody of the civil power, and in the course of the even ing Robert Holmes Esq., J. P., accompanied by head-con stable Roe, and two other police officers, went to the island, and took the prisoner to Cove and placed him in the Con stabulary station, where he remained for the night. The following morning (Tuesday) he was taken to the Petty Session Court, where an investigation took place, which resulted in informations being sworn against the pri soner, who is to be tried before the Assistant Barrister at the East Riding Sessions, which takes place in this city on Monday week. RARE AVES.—T wo extraordinarily curious speci mens of freaks of nature amongst the feathered tribe have been—one captured, the other shot—in the fields hard by this town (Louth), during the past week. They are, although of different species, purely white. The first, to use an Iricisin, is a white blackbird ! which was discovered by Mr. Paddison, shoemaker, of this town, who, with assistance, succeeded in running down and capturing it. It is now in Mr. P.'s possession, a young and remarkably beautiful bird. The other, a milk-white sparrow! which was shot by Mr. Would Elvin, of Louth Park-buildings, in a field near the mansion of G. Hol land, Esq., at the Park. The shot did not take fatal effect, and the pretty natural curiosity is now caged and doing well in Mr. Elvin's possession. The two have been much admired by those who have a taste bent towards such curious matters.—Lincolnshire Chronicle. THE GREAT BRITAIN.--It is with feelings of un common pleasure that we are enabled to announce to our readers, upon undoubted authority, that arrangements are in progress for the release of this magnificent vessel from her present untoward situation, and that she may be expected to be floated out of the harbour either in the ensuing month of October or the early part of November. It would be premature to state the nature of the arrange ments about to be made, but the above statement may be implicitly relied on.—B r i s t o l Mi rror. LAUNCH OF THE FLORA.--This splendid frigate was launched on Wednesday last. She is built after draw ings by Sir W. Symonds, surveyor of the navy, and is a sister ship to the Pique, now in the West Indies—is 1,622 20.94 tons burthen, and pierced for 36 guns. Notwithstanding that there are few or no preparations for the launch of a ship of this size, the attendance was very numerous, and the utmost desire was evinced by the officers of the establishment to afford the public every possible attention and accommodation. A large party of fashionables were present, and the ceremony of christening of the ship was performed by Miss Ccch rane, niece of the worthy Admiral of the port. On this occasion, the bottle was encircled in a garland of flowers. At 3.30 the signal was given, and the vessel glided off the slip amidst the loud acclamations of the assembled multitude. The Flora is to be immediately taken into dock to have her bottom coppered.—Devonport Telegraph. ADVANC E OF WAGES.—We understand that some of the master spinners of this town have given notice to their hands of the intention to give them an advance upon the present prices, and there is every probability that it will lead to a general advance in the wages of the spinning and card-room hands. We cannot learn that there is at present any intention of raising the wages of the weavers. —Preston Guardian. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, SEPT. 13.—Our market continues steady, hut not active ; about 350 hhds. and tierces West India have been disposed of since our last report, at very full prices-555. and 68s. may be consi dered as the extremes of the market. In Bengals and Mauritius the transactions are unimportant. Refined goods have advanced is. per cwt.—E. Lstol Mercury. THE LARGEST STATUE IN EUPOPE.—The summit of Banvraggie, in Sutherlandshire, is crowned by the colossal monument erected by the Sutherland tenantry to the memory of the late Duke. A statue thirty feet high, and containing eighty tons of stone, stands on a pedestal Seventy-five feet in height. The figure, we be lieve, is an excellent likeness, end forms the largest statue in Europe.—Scotsman. NATIONAL ASSOCIATION. ADDRESS FROM THE MEMBERS OF THE NA TIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR PROMOTING THE POLITICAL AND SOCIAL IMPROVE MENT OF THE PEOPLE, TO THE WORKING CLASSES OF FRANCE, ON THE SUBJECT OF WAR. BRETHREN,—By this title we presume to address you—for, though the ocean divides, just principles and mutual interest should unite us—and though, at this crisis, bad men would foster prejudices and strife between us, the spirit of Christian brotherhood should recal us to our duty; and cause us to spurn all those who would urge us to break every moral obligation, and plunge our respective countries into a ferocious and devastating war. We are, for the most part, working men who now address you —men who, intent on the political and social improvement of our brethren, conceive we have some claim to the attention of those of our own class upon any subject of mutual and vital importance ; and considering war as paramount for evil, in its de moralizing effects, as well as for retarding the intel lectual, moral, and physical progress of mankind ; we deem it our duty to invite you, fellow men, in the spirit of fraternity, to a calm consideration of its evils, as respects ourselves, our countries, and our race : and would urge your co-operation in appealing to the higher and nobler feelings of our brethren, to devise means for extinguishing this destructive spirit, which has cursed our race from the beginning of time. We are induced to make this appeal to you, the Working Classes of France, in particular, as the war like spirit has of late been sought to be fomented be tween us, by those who have either party views to promote, exclusive interests to protect, or who, like vultures, hope to thrive on the carnage of war. The press, too, of both countries, with few excep tions, for some time past has, unhappily, been admi nistering to our combative feelings ; and by sallies of wit, boastings and threatenings, seeking to fan our old (and, we trust, never to be revived) animosities into a flame of destructive war. Nay, to the disgrace of those who shared in it, we have seen professed fol lowers of Him who preached forgiveness and mercy vindictively inciting those they could influence, to re venge the real or supposed insult to an individual by plunging whole nations into war. The prevalence of this insane conduct has caused us to appeal to you, the working millions—you, by whose industry the munitions of war must be raised —you, who are mainly selected to be the tools and instruments of warfare —you, who must perform the bidding of some aristocratic minion, were it to war against freedom abroad, or to exterminate your bro thers at home—you, who have most cause for lament ing the sacrifices and bereavements of war—you, who must bear (and are now bearing) the burthens in peace which past wars have inflicted—to you we ap peal, who, with the working millions of England, must bear the brunt and sacrifices of war—and of you we ask for a verdict condemnatory of the strife which the parties we have alluded to are seeking to foment. We address you, the working classes, because we believe that the interests of our class are identified throughout the world. Our interests are evidently in the peaceful cultivation of our lands, the feeding of our flocks, the ingenuity and extent of every manufacture and production capable of administering to human hap • piness, the reciprocal interchange of our commodities, the full enjoyment of the fruits of our labour, the culti vation of freedom, intellect, morality, religion, and brotherly affection among all the nations of the earth —in all these we believe there is an identity of inte rests; and when the majority of our brethren have knowledge to perceive it, the advocates of national strife wilt be few, and the trade of war will fail to bring either glory, honour, or fame. Can men so readily forget the enormous expenditure of money, and immense sacrifice of life, wasted in the last wars between your country and our's, that they are so anxious to renew them ? The revolutionary war and the war against the empire have already cost Eng land 2,229,830,0001., and the destruction of more than 700,000 human beings! and if to this amount we add the sacrifices made by your country, we should imagine that such a holocaust of life and wealth. sacrificed to the demon of war, sufficient to glut the sanguinary appetites of men to all posterity. Does not every generous mind already revolt at the record of blood between two nations said to be foremost in civilisation and refinement ? and shall the page of history be fur ther defiled with the atrocities of war between people who ought to lead the world to freedom, by their in tellectual and moral greatness ? Forbid it every tongue I—condemn it every mind devoted to human happiness ! Imagine, fellow-workmen, that the wealth and human energies sacrificed in our last wars had been devoted to the instruction, comfort, and happiness of our neglected, ill-used, and' unhappy fellow labourers, what imperishable and glorious results might now be realised. What schools, what colleges, what smiling, happy villages, might be covering the soil beneath which repose the dust of beings once madly incited against their fellows, to glut the ven geance, or gratify the vanity, of those the world is still taught to worship as " heroes." We would also direct your attention to the amount annually expendsd by our respective countries in con sequence of the demoralising spirit of war. The annual war expenditure of England is 14,513,9161.; of France, 20,418,7301.; an enormous amount an nually drained from the sinews of our brethren, and used to enslave and degrade them. Yet the only excuse for this mischievous and useless warlike array, is the mutual fear or jealousy entertained by one country of another; mutual folly, which it is high time the common sense of our brethren condemned and scouted, not only as a pernicious waste of the fruits of their industry, but as.an instrument for per petuating national feuds and political slavery. If England and France were to set an example to the world of two powerful nations united in amity, rely ing on the interests, energies, and affections of their people to repel all who dared :assail them, we should soon witness the holiest of all national alliances, one for promoting the peace and happiness of the world. But those who would excite your prejudices, re mind you of the evils which our country has in flicted on France. They condemn our rapacity and lust of power—they point with jealousy to our colo nies, and with envy to the extent of our com merce ; and, for past ills, would fain invoke present retaliation. Now, fellow-men, we are not of these who would frame an apology for injustice, and we also condemn, and have the burden of our debt to remind us of, the monstrous injustice of warring against the rising liberties of your country. We have also great cause for lamenting all the wars which our aristocracy have waged for the preservation of " their order," or for providing nesting-places for their children and dependants ; and would greatly rejoice if every colony of England were self -governed, and attached to us by no other tie than that which should unite all countries—that of enlightened self-interest, and the brotherhood of man. We class our late wars in China and Affghanistan with the war you are now waging in Algeria, as unjust wars ; the power of might being immorally exercised in all, as it always is when force and destruction take the place of reason and justice. But our object is not the mere condemnation of par ticular wars, but of all war ; believing war in prin ciple to be vengeance in practice —a vice equally op posed to our morality and condemned by our religion ; its tendency is to deteriorate the nobler faculties of man, and strengthen those which level him with the brute. It stands the most formidable impediment to the civilisation of our race, rendering nearly nugatory the best-devised efforts for elevating humanity; for, by polluting the youthful mind with tales of blood, by stamping public approbation on deeds of vengeance, and idolising as heroes those who have excelled in crime, we sap the very foundations of virtue, and offer . the highest premium to vice. Be assured, fellow-men, the evils of our age cannot be remedied by the sword; the steady increase of knowledge is the harbinger of freedom to the millions, and individual and national morality must be the basis upon which their political and social prosperity must be founded. The arts of peace are fast . preparing a highway to the world's happiness; the ingenuity of invention and triumphs of genius are fast breaking clown the barriers which separate nations • gothic pre judices are yielding before human sympathies ' • the pro ductive classes are fast learning the l esson of human reciprocity ; and, eventually, the freedom of nations will be placed on a foundation not to be endangered by official folly, or destroyed by the whim of a despot. And shall this promise of good be marred by the ill-intentioned or unreflecting ? by those who plan battles on paper, and prefer fighting by proxy ; who talk of national " honour" being purified by blood ; who invoke the specious name of " glory" to induce our brethren to leave their peaceful pursuits, their homes and relatives, to deal destruction and death against those who have given them no just cause for resentment? Let but the united voices of the mil lions proclaim it madness, and the civilisation of the world is secure. Unhappily for the cause of peace and human pro gress, State and Church are combined in favour of war. 11'e have seen your Bishops and our's bless its flags and symbols! invoke the Deiety for its success, and pour out their thanksgivings for victory ! But, fellow. workmen, though the highest authority may sanction, it cannot establish the justice of crime. The principles of religion and morality stand out broadly in condemnation of war, and to these we would refer you, against all power, and all authority. In furtherance, then, of this sacred cause—in the spirit of brotherhood—in our love of peace and hatred of war, we respectfully submit the following proposi tions for your consideration, amendment, or approval ; hoping that they may form a preliminary bond of fel lowship, to unite us for every good object tending to advance the intelligence, morality, freeedom, and hap piness of mankind : , That we, the w9sking chases of France and England, respectfully present our different 1 • bodies with a solemn protest against all want in principle opposed to morality, religion, sne happiness.

(From the London New Price Current of Sept. 17.) SUGAR.—To-day there was less activity in the West India Sugar market, and only a limited business was transacted ; importers, however, were firm, and obtained previous rates. At public sale 150 hhds of Barbadoes were offered, but it being a soft parcel little inclination was shown to purchase, and a part only was disposed of at a decline on former prices of 6d per cwt, fine yellow went at 645, good 60s 6d to 62s 6d, good mid 59s to 59s 6d, mid 56s Gd to 58s, and low 56s per cwt. The total pur chases are only 440 hhds and tierces. ItErnsEn.---The demand has been extensive for Re fined Goods from the home trade since last Tuesday ; the market has been nearly cleared of every description, and a further advance in prices has taken place ; brown Lumps fetching 73a to 73s 6d, Standard Lumps 74s to 755, Tittlers 73s 6d to 78s 6d, fine ditto 79s to 535, Hambro'Loares 74s to 84.5, double ditto 85 to 90s, and wet Lumps 71s to 73s per cwt; there is a very extensive con sumption going on, and refined sugar is still cheaper in comparison than good and fine raw. To-day the home trade purchased refined goods largely, paying 73s to 73s 6d for brown, and 74s 6d to 75s per cwt for standard lumps, indeed of the low and mid qualities the supply at market is not ample for the increasing wants of the trade. For bonded crushed sugar prices are firmer, and at 27s 3d to 27s 6d per cwt large purchases have been made ; the market has a firm appearance. MAURITIUS. , —The supply is falling off of all descrip tions, indeed the quantity remaining in importers hands is small, being reduced to 14,000 bags, and nearly all of low quality : none has been submitted to public compe tition, but by private contract several parcels have been disposed of at fully former rates. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the market was much better supplied with Bengal Sugar ; four parcels, amounting to 5,428 bags, were submitted to public com petition ; a fair proportion consisted of good and fine white sorts, which went rather above former rates, and interior and mid kinds at the previous currency—fine white fetched 64s to 70s, good 62s to 63s 6d, mid 61s to 61s 6d, 10W 58s 6d to 59s 6d, damp 60s to 67s 6d, washed 59s to 61s 6d, mid dry grey 56s 6d, low 54s 6d to 555, common yellow 54s 6d to 555, mid 55s 6d to 57s 6d, damp and washed 53s to 555. Of Madras 173 bags were sold at 47s to 48s for mid brown, and 46s 6d for damp and washed. FOREIGN.—There has been an increased desire mani fested to purchase Brazil Sugar; the operations have been upon a large scale in all descriptions at prices rather above those of this day week. To-day several cargoes of Foreign Sugar were offering for sale, but at present only one has found p urc h asers at 1 8s 3d per cwt for brown Bahia deliverable at a Dutch port. MonessEs.=—Prices are not lower for West India, but there has been only a limited business transacted at 21s to 24s per cwt. Holders are not inclined to press sales at these low rates. East India are still neglected, and 130 casks of Madras at public sales were taken in at 16s per cwt. The stock of Molasses is still considerably heavier than it was last year at that period, but prices rule from 4s to 5s per cwt lower than at that time. CocoA..--The stock of West India is still diminishing, indeed, the quantity remaining in first hands is small ; holders asking rather higher rates, business has been restricted, and 101 bags of Trinidad at auction were taken in at 44s to 45s 6d for middling, and 42s per cwt for low red. Foreign has met with a f a i r d eman d , and very full rates have been paid ; the market is stilt sparingly supplied; COCHINEAL.—Prices remain firm, and a good demand has been experienced by private contract ; 50 bags of r Honduras at auction fetched 5s 4d to 5s 9d per lb for middling to fine black. The quantity remaining in im porters' hands is unusually small, and is much less than it was last year at this time. The deliveries are going on largely. UOFFE.—The market has been sparingly supplied with West India Coffee since last Tuesday. A better demand has prevailed for clean qualities, and the par cels disposed of by private contract have been at full rates ; indeed, middling kinds, which are the most wanted, in some cases have brought prices that were not to be obtained previously ; unclean sorts are, however, still dull of sale, and there are sellers at comparatively low rates. This afternoon Ceylon Coffee met with a good demand; 480 bags at auction were sold at stiff rates—Pea berry at 75s to 85s, fine fine ord pale Plantation sort 64s 6d to 66s 6d, ragged 55s to 60s, broken 43s 6d, and sea damaged 50s to 635, triage 15s Gd to 18s, good ord is held with firmness at 57s to 57s 6d. The supply is still small of this sort. Mocha was little inquired for, and 15 bales at auction were taken in at 50s to 52s per cwt for very common mixed Mysore sort. TEA.—There has not been so much demand for com mon and good common descriptions of Congou, but holders show firmness, and have obtained full rates ; sales of the former made at 10id to I Id, and the latter at 1 lid to is oid per lb ; but the better kinds have met with increased attention, and large parcels have been disposed of at stiffer rates ; is o,id to Is lid paid for but mid rather strong ; Is lid to is 3id with Souchong flavour ; is 4cl to Is 8d for good strong blksh leaf; and Is 9d to 2s 6d per lb for fine Pekoe flavor. There is still nothing pressing for sale. To-day the purchases made in Tea were upon a small scale, and rather lower rates were accepted for the lower sorts of Congou, sales made at 10d to 100 per lb for common but in the value of other kinds there is no alteration. SPICES.—For S umatra Pepper previous [rates are re quired, but not much demand has prevailed. Malabar and Penang are in good request privately, and prices are firm, the former at 3d to nd per lb : none has been offered at auction : the demand for white continues ; holders show firmness, and supply the market sparingly; sales by private contract made at 4id to 8d per lb. The market is in a flat state for Cinnamon. Mace at 2s 4d per lb for low quality. Nutmegs at 3s 2d to 4s 6d per lb for brown, but export sorts are not much wanted, and 7 casks of ordinary limed at. auction were bought in at 4s 6d per lb, duty paid. This afternoon 103 brls of Jamaica Ginger at public sale were sold at 31 lOs to 71 13s per cwt ; but 10 casks of Mace from the .Cape of Good Hope were taken in at 2s 6(1 per lb. In black Pepper a fair business was trans acted privately at previous rates ; Cassia Lignea is wanted, but not much is to be bad ; prices have an improving appearance.
