TO SUBSCRIBERS AND THE PUBLIC The Reduction of the Newspaper Stamp Duty comes into operation on THURSDAY, the Fifteenth of SEPTEMBER Next, when the Subscribers of THE SUN will receive this Paper at a greatly Reduced Price.

Q, / f) LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 16, 1836 If Ireland do not obtain the justice—the full, un qualified justice—which she demands, and has a right to demand, from England, it will not be Mr. O'CoN NELL'S fault ; for never, even in his youtioer and more vigorous days, was the Member for Kilkenny more earnest, more impassioned, or more effective in his ap peals to the spirit of his countrymen than he is at the present moment. We have perused his speeches at the National Association with all the attention which their importance demands, and can find in them no thing objectionable, except the desponding tone in which he speaks of the co-operation of Englishmen ; and hints his doubts whether they are not something too Luke-warm in the cause of Ireland. On this point he tells us he is directly at issue with us, observing, " The Sun Newspaper, which reached me this morn ing, attaches some blame to me for having stated that the great bulk of the people of England were opposed to the rights of the Irish. The Sun blames me in a two-fold way, first, for saying that the proposition was true, and secondl , ,-, that even if it were true, it was not discreet on my part to acknowledge it. I like discretion very well, but I like truth better. I would not like to speak ill of The Sun, as it is an honest advocate of the country's rights, but I will never yield to the argument, that even if it were true, it would not be discreet to tell it. But is it true ?—that is the question now at issue between The Sun and myself. I said that the great majority of the people of England were hostile to the rights of Ireland. Nov I did not mean to enumerate the people of England by the head, and divide them; if I could do so, I am ready to admit that the numerical majority would be in favour of Ireland ; but I speak of the class of voters. On that point I meet The Sun foot to foot." Mr. O ' CONNELL here virtually admits all that we contended for. We merely observed that if the question of "justice for Ireland" were put to the vote throughout England, it would be carried by an over whelming majority, and that therefore the Hon. and Learned Gentleman was acting indiscreetly, in con demning us, in the gross, for our indifference to the wrongs of his countrymen, and for this very obvious reason, that such expressions of distrust would tend rather to chill than encourage the generous sympathies which Englishmen entertain for Ireland. As for wishing him to conceal the truth, if he really felt it was truth, we never dreamed of any thing of the sort. Bold and strait-forward ourselves, we respect the same qualities in others, as we showed by our strenuous opposition, at every stage of its progress, to the Coercion Bill ; and more recently, by our direct, unflinching hostility to the English Church measure, which we did not hesitate to denounce, notwithstanding it was brought forward by a Government which has so many claims on the people's gratitude. With equal consistency have we acted towards Mr. O'CONNELL himself. When we found him raising the war-cry of Repeal, whose only inevitable results would have been—supposing, by any possibility, it could have been carried not to benefit one kingdom, but to ruin two, we were among the foremost and most active in our opposition to him ; but when, laying aside his darling hobby, h e came to the determination of seek ing justice for his countrymen by legitimate, constitu tional means, and directing their energies into fitting channels ; then we became as zealous in our support of, as we were before in our hostility to, him. It was not inconsistency on the part of The Sun, but recovered intelligence on the part o f M r. O'C ONNELL, that in duced us to alter our line of, conduct ; and we h ave since seen no cause to regret that alteration, for, on the whole, it is impossible for any statesman to have acted with more prudence and energy than the Hon. Mem ber for Kilkenny has done throughout the last two sessions. Having ever had Ireland first and foremost he i has at the same ti me ever advo in his thoughts, cated diligently the interests of England and Scotland ; and we can assure him—did he need fresh proof s o f the fact—that these are points in his public character that John Bull and Sawney " will not willingly let die." A short but not unedifying discussion took place in the House of Incurables last night, on the motion for the second reading of the Bill for protecting Corpo rate property in Ireland from being wasted by its pre sent administrator s . The measure was rendered ne cessary by the rejection of the Irish Corporation Bill— that greatest of the many great sins which lie at the door of the House of Lords. The second reading of the Bill was ultimately assented to, but not until the " alien-in-blood " director of our irresponsible legislators had declared his intentio n of striking out all its most valuable provisions in Committee. This is what he means when he talks of re-modelling- a Bill. Thus he re-modelled the Irish Municipal Bill, the Irish Church Bill, and many others. In the pre sent case he laid violent hands on his own offspring, for this measure was a suggestion of his pure and can did mind. The most amusing part of the affair, however, is the uncommon squeamishness manifested by this seemingly very sensitive person at the terms corrup tion and abuse applied to the Irish Corporations, when it is well known that he has himself de nounced them as on that very account deserving of utter annihilation ! It will be seen, by a reference to our Parliamentary Report, that the British auxiliary force on the coast of Spain will take no part in any struggle between the QUEEN'S Government and the Constitutionalists. In the present state of affairs this is the most prudent course our Government could adopt ; but circumstances may arise to render an adherence to it a matter of dif ficulty. Suppose, for example, the Constitutionalists masters of the capital, and the QUEEN forced to seek an asylum in France—would our Government then remain neutral ? Would France remain a passive spectator of such a state of things ? And if France were to declare herself hostile to the Constitutionalists, would England join her against the Ultra-Liberal party ? These are questions deserving of the serious attention of our Noble Foreign Secretary. Lord PAL MERSTON cannot be unacquainted with the fact, that were Don CA RLos driven out of Spain to-morrow, the struggle between the Constitutionalists and the Spanish Government would be ten times greater than it is at present. It would be, therefore, most advis able for England and France to agree first upon some fixed plan with respect to Spain, as a knowledge of it would materially influence the conduct of all parties during the contests that are likely to ensue. The whole of the Paris papers of Sunday have been received. The Moniteur contains the following offi cial announcement : " The report that a sanguinary collision between the Na tional Guard and the garrison of Madrid took place on the 6th, is entirely unfounded. Letters and papers of the 7th have been received, and at that time the tranquillity of the city remained uninterrupted." I❑ the same journals we find an account of the pro. clamation of the Constitution in seven of the principal cities and towns in hrragon. General SAN Mi- GUEL has issued an address to the northern and cen tral army, calling upon the soldiers to declare them selves in favour of the Constitution. Of this address, which is dated the 4th inst., the following is a copy : " Comrades—You doubtless know that Saragossa, pro. claiming itself independent of the Government, has hoisted the Constitutional banner of 1812, until such time as the na tional deputies shall have decided on the laws which are to govern us. The constitution has been proclaimed at Sara gossa amid universal and enthusiastic rejcicings, and without any disorder or excess to tarnish the brilliancy of one of the most glorious days of this town, renowned for its courage and devotedness. At the head of the popular movement were the deposita ries of the civil and military authority, and the names of the persons most distinguished for their rank and influence, figured in the expositions addressed to her Majesty and the people of Arragon. " The Provincial Deputation, the President of the Audience, the heads of the Garrison and of the National Guard, the Ec clesiastical Governor—in a word, all the public authorities, have sanctioned by their signature this glorious act. This event has been accomplished in the most solemn, unanimous, grand, and national manner. " Brave soldiers ! your patriotism and opinions are well known to me ; you have preserved your affection for the fun damental law we have re-established ; and you have not heard without emotion an account of the events which have occurred at Saragossa. You burn to fight again under the noble banner of the constitution. Comrades ! I likewise have fought in vour ranks against our country's enemies ; I have shed my blood amid you for this noble cause. Whatever may be the effect produced upon you by the events at Saragossa, com rades ! forget not tlult you are soldiers, facing the enemies of your liberties, aad preserve that discipline so necessary in the camp. _ _ Patriotic warriors, lon , live our liberty ! long, live the nation, and its defenders ! To them will Spain owe her happiness and peace." _ _ _ _ Large hociies of French volunteers arc already marching towards Spain. The Government is also holding out every encouragement to such as aspire to military distinctions in the Peninsula. PARIS, AUG. 13. A letter from Toulon of the 9th August says, the Galatea frigate, which unfortunately ran foul of the Trident, having been declared unable to go to sea, orders are given to dismantle it. The Minister has given directions to hasten as much as possible the repairs of the Trident. The Suifriene sailed this morning conformably to the telegraphic despatch which I mentioned yesterday, but having run aground in quitting the road, it will not put to sea till this awning. . - It is affirmed to-day that all our vessels are going to Tunis ; that Tahir Pacha had succeeded in deceiving Admiral Hu gon, and had landed at Tunis, (while the French Admiral supposed him at Tripoli) all the troops that he had on board this squadron. According to the same reports, Admiral Roussin, our Ambassador at Constantinople, had intimated to the Sultan that France would consider any landing of troops on the ter ritory of Tunis as an act of hostility. This landing having been effected, we recal our Ambassador, whom the llermione fri gate will take on board, and bring back to France. If these reports are true, our relations become strongly complicated."" PARIS, AUGUST 14..—Tbe indica/car says that the first de tachment of soldiers who enlisted to reinforce the French legion in Spain, was to have left Bordeaux on the 10th in the eve ning, but that their departure was delayed by the want of various articles. The Indicateur persists in affirming, that 10,000 men will pass the frontier. We believe this number must be exaggerated. The Indicateur and other periodicals of the South which believe an auxiliary corps of 10,000 men will be really formed (not including the existing legion), will doubtless give us the exact number furnished by the several regiments in those departments.--Journal du Commerce, August 14. + These accounts arc very far from agreeing with those which have been borrowed for the Garde National of Mar. seilles. It is high time for the interests of commerce that the Government should break silence.—Journal du Commerce. Lord Howick and his Lady will shortly leave Whitehall for the seat of his father-in-law, Sir J. Copley, at Sprotsborough, Yorkshire. His Lordship will afterwards visit his noble father, Earl Grey, at Howick Hall. Within the last eight years the furniture, and internal decorations of Howick Hall have been renewed, and the wings of the edifice united to the centre by intermediate buildings. The Viscount Clements and the Ladies have left - Grosvenor-square, for Long Ditton. The Viscount d'Anshald gave a dinner and card party in Hill-street, Berkeley-square, on Saturday last, to the Earl and Countess of Tankerville, Lord John Fitzroy, the Hon. Mrs. Fane, the Hon. Mrs. A.

These noblemen will go to shooting quarters together, and the Noble Earl will visit Lord Panmure, at Brechin Castle, before his return to England. Viscount Midleton, whose death we this day an nounce, was in his 82d year, having been born Nov. 1, 1754 ; he succeeded to his titles, being the fourth viscount, when in his 11th year, and married first the Hon. Frances Pelham, daughter of Thomas, second Lord Pelham, afterwards Earl of Chichester, and has issue by her one daughter, the Hon. Frances Anne, who married, in August, 1803, Inigo Free man Thomas, Esq. ; his second wife, to whom he was married in 1797, was Maria, daughter of Richard Benyon, and by her he has three daughters. Lord Stanley is at present on a visit to his estates in the county of Tipperary. The gallant General Church, who so distinguished himself in Greece and the lonian Islands, is gone, it is said, to Timbuctoo. _ _ ----- The ex-Royal Family of France has been since the . 15th of July at Budweis, in Bohemia. Charles X. will attain his 80th year in October. His health is good, and here, as at Prague, his habitual occupation is the Chace, in which he is frequently accompanied by the Duke of Angouleme. The Duke of Bordeaux has been indisposed for a week, in conse quence, it is said, of a superfluity of blood, but he is now much better. The Duke and Duchess of Angouleme came here lately from Marienbad, where they dined with the Queen of Bavaria, who is gone with the Duchess of Berry to Salzburgh. —Vienna Gazette.

A MAD HortsE.--On Thursday mor • rung, Mr. Tasker, green-grocer, of Norfolk-street, King's Cross, on go ing into his stable, was seized by his cheek by the horse, and his nose and face were much torn, exhibiting a frightful spec tacle. The horse was bitten a few days ago by a large mastiff supposed to be mad. Mr. Tasker was taken to St. Bartholo mew's, where he lies without hope of recovery. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Our arrivals this morning are the French mails, and ship letters from Lisbon, Cadiz, Gibraltar, and Oporto. THE FUNDS. This is settling day in the Foreign Market ; the most ex tensive account to settle is that of the Spanish, as the extreme fluctuation has been about 8 per cent. It will be indeed surprising if it go off without failures or private composi tions, as a good deal has been done out of the House in that Sock. Spanish Active has rather receded from the leaving-off price of 311 to 30i 31 ; Passive, 94 ; Deferred, 13.

The Pluto has arrived from St. Sebastian, by which we have accounts to the 11th inst. It appears that the Constitu tion of 1812 has been declared at Bilboa, and was about to be proclaimed at St. Sebastian. The accounts from the latter place are of a quiet character. A failure has just been declared in the Foreign Market. The accounts from Cadiz are that all was tranquil there ; it is given out, as on dit, that the advisers of Don Carlos wish him to declare the Constitution of 1812 by proclamation. TWO 0' CL 0 CK. Extract of a letter received this morning from St. Sebastian, of the 10th inst., by his Majesty's steamer Pluto : " We are very despondent in respect to the state and pros pect of the British Legion.

Brigadier-General Reid, as I informed you some time since, has left us, for London, on the 3d ; 150 invalids, and 9 men, whose time of service had expired, were about to return by the Glasgow for London. We have intelligence of the Proclamation of the Constitution at Bilboa. We expect it:will follow here." Accounts from Lisbon state that the meeting of the Cortes has been put off to the 11th of September. The elections were favourable to the Ministers—the Treasury empty. To the present hour we do not hear of any more failures than that which took place in the morning.

THREE O'CLOCK. THEIR MAJESTIES VISIT TO PENN HOUSE.— The retired and romantic village of Penn, on the borders of Buckinghamshire, presented a very lively and interesting scene last week on the occasion of the King and Queen's visit to the Earl and Countess Howe at Penn House. Their Ma jesties, accompanied by Prince Ernest of Philippsthal and suite, arrived early in the afternoon. The villagers neigh bours, to the number of upwards of 1,200, assembled around the demesne, and greeted their Majesties' arrival with the most enthusiastic cheers. On the lawn preparations were made for a rural repast for upwards of 110 old women, all of whom are above fifty years of age, who were regaled with tea and cake beneath the foliage of a beech tree of most extraordinary dimensions. This tree excited the admiration of the Queen on a former visit, and has since been called " the Queen's Beech." A military band was in attendance, and on their Majesties' arrival performed " God save the King." The King conversed in the most affable manner with several of the peasantry, and her Majesty appeared to take mnch interest in the rural scene. After partaking of a sumptuous repast with Lord and Lady Howe their Majesties and suite left about ten o'clock on their return to Windsor Castle. THE LATE DUKE OF GORDON.—Subscriptions are about to be made for the purpose of erecting a monument to the memory of this lamented Nobleman, on some conspi. CllOll3 spot in the town or neighbourhood of Inverness.— Caledonian Mercury • Invcrary is shortly to be enlivened by the presence of his Grace the Duke of Argyll, who is expected to revisit his paternal halls about the 20th instant, after an absence of more than twelve years. It is said that he will also spend a part of the season at Roseneatii.—Caledonian Mercury. The Duke of Rutland, accompanied by Lord George Manners, passed through Chesterfield on Wednesday last. The noble party exchanged horses at the Angel Inn, arid proceeded forwards to Longshaw, where Sir Robert Peel and Sir Richard Sutton are expected on a visit to his Grace on a grouse-shooting excursion.—Derbyshire Courier. ST. JAMEs s FAIR.—At this fair, which was held on Friday last, the supply of all kinds of cattle was indiffe rent, although, in the opinion of those qualified to judge, it was greater than last year; prime fat was in request, arid sold readily, at from 6s. to 6s. 6d. per stone, but for grazing cattle there were few or no inquirers, and several lots were driven off the ground unsold. The horse market was well attended by dealers, and notwithstanding the number of animals brought forward was fully as great as on former years, yet good draught and saddle horses were uncommonly scarce ; hunting horses and good backs were much sought after, and sold readily at high prices ; good draught horses brought from 301. to 401., while those of inferior quality sold from 201. to 251. The hiring market was well attended by harvest labourers, chiefly Irish, and:many engagements were made, on termsnearly the same as last week, viz., 12s. for women, and 13s. for men a week, with victuals, while some superior hands got Is. more. The quantity of linen, both Irish and home made, exposed for sale, was great, and prices upon the whole better than last year. In consequence of the fineness of the day, the con course of people assembled for business and pleasure, was greater than we have seen for some years, and although a number of rows, as usual, took place towards the close of the day among those who had been engaged in bacchanalian pur suits, yet we have not heard of any accident having occurred to the lieges.—Kelso Chronicle. In the choice of investments by monied men there has been within these few weoks past a very decided bias in favour of American securities, on account of the superior in terest they yield compared with the Government stocks and other modes for the employment of capital in Europe. A large proportion of the West India compensation money seems to have been placed in this manner, and cases have even oc curred in which selections have been made of such investments for the purposes of trusteeship. There is no want of a supply from this source, and there can be little doubt moreover, that as soon as the demand on this market is clearly made known on the other side of the Atlantic, there will be an increased importation of securities of American origin, including 'all the various schemes and undertakings which are brought forth in that prolific soil. The evil to be dreaded in this case is, that too indiscriminate a selection will be made, and that, for want of proper information, mere bubbles may pass current with the securities of the better class. In general, no protection can be pointed out to the public, except that of taking in their purchases the recommendations of the most respectable houses only. As to any especial warning, the tendency is so strong, where the security has a tolerable character, to resort to the higher rate of interest, that it would be perfectly useless.— Morning Paper. The President of the Royal Academy has nearly finished a full-length likeness of the Queen, as a companion to the portrait of his Majesty, both of which arc to be placed in the portrait galley) , at Windsor Castle. The Mark-lane Express, in reference to the late seasonable rains while the wheat is ripening, states, "that the plumpness and filling out of the grain in car, has been known to make a difference of one bushel in eight." The Gazette du Languedoc announces, after a letter from Perpignan, that at the desire of Alibaud's parents a funeral service had been performed at the church there for their son, who was executed. A second service was to have been celebrated some days after, but was prevented by the authorities. GEORGE THE THIRD AND HIS STRAIT WAIST. COAT.—During the first days of March, being at Kew, ac companied only by one of his equerries, while walking through the apartments of the palace, the astonished eyes of the equerry were involuntarily arrested by a strait waistcoat that lay on a chair. Hastily averting his view from an object which recalled images so painful, he endeavoured to conceal his embarrass ment. But the King, who perceived it, and who well knew the cause, turning to him, said, " You need not be afraid to look at it. Perhaps it is the best friend I ever had in my life." Memoirs. The Earl of Eldon is on a visit to the Duke of Newcastle at Clumber, where great additions have been made to the mansion, much admired for its true architectural beauty, according to the design of Sir R. Smirke. CORONER'S INQUEST.—On Saturday an inquest was held at New Windsor Workhouse, before Mr. Marlin, Coroner for the borough, on the body of Sarah Simmonds, aged about 28 years, who destroyed herself the preceding af ternoon, by taking a quantity of oxalic acid. It appeared that the deceased had been acquainted with a private in the 2d Life Guards, named Henry Creed, for about three years, and that she had a child by him. She was a woman of very vio lent temper, and while the regiment was at Hyde-park barracks she twice attempted to murder Creed—once with his sword and once with a razor. She had also, several times, threatened to destroy herself. Indeed, her conduct was so bad, that the guard has, upon two or three occasions, been called in to put her out of the barracks. She also squan dered the money Creed was in the habit of giving her, and neglected the child, which was obliged to be taken from her. She, however, again got possession of the child. On Sunday last the deceased arrived in Windsor with the child, and on Monday she saw Creed, to whom she delivered up the child, who has ever since been living in the barracks. From that time to Thursday she has been sauntering about the outside of the barracks. About one o'clock she was met by Corporal-Major Trenerry, who advised her to go to London, where she could get work as usual. She refused, and declared her intention of destroying herself. He remonstrated with her on the wickedness of such an act, but, as he had heard her use those threats several times before, he thought nothing more about it. Between three and four o'clock she sent a little boy into the canteen to beg a little water for her; a girl brought her some in a pint pot, when she emptied the contents of a paper into the water and drank it off. She then walked towards the other gate of the barracks, but she was almost instantly seized with a violent illness. There being no doctor at the barrack's hospital, she was about to be carried to the dispensary in Windsor, when the persons carry ing her, at her own request, laid her down in the Lammas mead ; a surgeon was sent for, but she died in a few minutes. A cart was then procured by Johnson, the policeman, and the body was conveyed to the workhouse. Mr. Pearl, surgeon to the dispensary, examined the body, and foud the stomach nearly dissolved, by the quantity of oxalic: acid she had taken. The jury returned a verdict, that "the deceased destroyed her self, labouring under delirium." CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. John Waude, described in the calendar as a brewer, was in dicted for stealing on the sth of July, a ham, value lis., the property of John Wilkinson. From the evidence it appeared that on the morning in ques tion the prisoner was in the neighbourhood of Plasterer's-hall, and was observed to take the ham from the kitchen of the pro secutor, and put it in a truck he had. The prisoner told the officer who took him intu custody that he had stolen the ham for the purpose of being prosecuted and transported, as he was tired of living with his wife. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and the Court sentenced him to one month's imprisonment and hard labour. This light sentence was passed on the prisoner by the Court, in conse quence of his master, a wine -merchant, having stated his readiness to take him again into his employ. William Butterworth was convicted of stealing, on the 16th of July, from the person of a gentleman named Ventom, a silver snuff-box. Mr. Ventom, it appeared, was passing down Cheapside, on the day in question, when he was surrounded by a gang of pickpockets, of whom the prisoner was one, when he was robbed of his snuff-box. Ann Williams, aged 29, was indicted for stealing, on the 11th of August, a bag containing upwards of 41., the property of a seafaring man named Chapman. From the statements of the prosecutor, it appeared that he was at a public-house in Tooley-street, when the prisoner came in and solicited charity; he gave her a few halfpence, and something to eat. She then left ; but on his going over London-bridge, he met her again, and she then asked him for some more halfpence. He said he had none ; she said, " Yes, you have, here ;" feeling in his waistcoat pocket. Shortly afterwards he missed his purse ; and upon charging the prisoner with the robbery, she returned the purse to him, but he found two sovereigns short. He then gave the prisoner into custody. The Jury immediately convicted the prisoner. The RECORDER told her she must expect to leave the coun try. Her conduct had been most ungrateful. ROBBERY ON BOARD THE MARINE SOCIETY SHIP. A lad belonging to the Marine Society, named Thomas Forman, was indicted for stealing on the 21st of June, four silk handkerchiefs, a gold chain, several other articles of jewellery, and nine pounds in money, the property of Thomas Eyton, on board the Marine Society's ship, lying in the Thames. From the evidence, it appeared that on the 3d of March, the prisoner was sent on board the Marine Society ship, and continued on board till the 21st of June, when he committed the robbery during the absence of the prosecutor, who is the Superintendent of the ship. He forcibly entered the cabin, and broke open a dusk and cash-box, from which he took the property in question ; after which he effected his escape. After this he went to the house of an old woman, named Ward, in Titchfield-street, stated that he had been to the East Indies, and produced to her the handkerchiefs, a gold chain, two broaches, and stated that he had 61. 10s. in money. After he had got through this, which he did very shortly, Mrs. Ward pledged one of the handkerchiefs for him for two shil lings, and the two broaches for ten shillings, and afterwards she procured a lodging for him, which he robbed. She then gave information of the robbery to the Marylebone Police Office, and the prisoner was ultimately apprehended in Goodge street, Tottenham-court-road. The prisoner said nothing in his defence ; and the Jury found him Guilty. NEW COURT. (Before the COMMON SERJEANT.) The Court w•as occupied for upwards of an hour this morn ing arraigning prisoners, previous to the impannelliog of the Jury. __ 111‘ Cartney and James Callan were indicted, the former for stealing and the latter for feloniously receiving a silver spoon, the property of Wm. Hedges. The only witness who was in attendance could not identify the spoon, and the prisoners were discharged. Joseph Oakley, aged 19, was indicted for stealing a bottle of wine, the property of Charles Bennett, a wine merchant, of Wal worth-road. The prisoner had been six months in the employment of the prosecutor, who, in consequence of some suspicion, marked a few bottles of wine, one of which was afterwards found upon the prisoner. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, but recommended him to mercy. William Wilde, aged 19, was indicted for stealing a watch, the property of William Marlborough. The prisoner had been several years in the employment of the prosecutor, as a servant. On the sth of August the watch was missed, and the prisoner was taken into custody, when he acknowledged that he had made away with the watch.— Thomas Jones was indicted for stealing a carpenter's stock and bit from the shop of Edward Dyer, a general salesman, in the Lambeth-road.—Guilty. Thomas Browne, 17, and Henry Williams, 21, were indicted for stealing on the Bth July a purse containing 171. 35., the property of David Davis, from the person of Mary Davis. Mary Davis resides near Brentford, and was on the Bth July staying at Salisbury-street, Strand. She was passing near Bedford street on the day in question with a female friend, and felt somebody touch her pocket behind, and imme diately missed her purse. The prisoner Browne was standing near her at the time. William Holden, of Hatton.garden, was passing at the time, and saw the prisoner Browne with several others around the first witness, hustling her. Witness laid hold of Browne, whose hand was at the time in Mrs. Davis's pocket, and he saw him draw out the purse, which was immediately handed by Browne to another person. Another witness, named Freeman, saw the purse handed to the other prisoner Williams, who ran up Bedford-street into Maiden-lane, where he was saized by witness and a policeman. The prisoner Williams was searched, and the purse containing the money was found concealed on his person. The policeman who took the prisoner Williams into custody corroborated the evidence of the last witness. The prisoners (who were defended by Messrs. Phillips and Clarkson) had nothing to say in their defence. The Jury immediately returned a verdict of Guilty against both the prisoners. The Learned JUDGE intimated that the prisoners would be transported for fourteen years. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, AUGUST 16, 1836. SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.) (FROM LLOYD'S.)

THE TEA TRADE, MONDAY.--.The deliveries last week were about 457,000165. The ensuing public sales of private trade teas will amount to about 50,000 chests and packages. _ _ _ With respect to the plan in agitation for improving the communication with India, it is understood that the silence of the deputation which waited on Sir John Hobhouse on Thursday last does not arise from an unfavourable reception of their propositions, nor from their being met by any counter propositions, but solely from a personal feeling towards the Board of Control and the Chairman of the Court of Direc tors, who could not be expected, in the opinion of the Com mittee, to state anything definite on so important a subject with respect to what the decision may be of the bodies they represent. They now feel at case, it seems, as to the good will of the Government towards them, but they are still in some uncertainty how far they may reckon on equal co-opera tion from the East India Company. They affirm, however, that they have not been called upon to deviate from their own p l an ; and further, that considering themselves with respect to it the organ of the British commercial interest at large, they will not on any account whatever be induced to abandon that plan. More detailed information than this they not feel themselves justified in giving at present. The Committee are in communication with the chief commercial towns in the kingdom on this project, and in general receive assurances of support, coupled with the approbation of the steps they are taking. An appli cat i on f rom the Chamber of C ommerce of Mancester has already been made to the Lords of the Trea sury, pointing out the imperfect state of the communications with India, and urging some improvement. This body do not espouse any particular plan, but are disposed to leave the mat ter in the hands of Government; but this a most mistaken notion, for all experience of the past has shown that this great object is only to be accomplished by a grand combination of private merchants, and that the Government, though they may be induced to assist in any object so supported, will never be able to manage the details, or take the lead in any project of the kind. It is expected that the Chamber of Commerce of Glasgow will support the present plan, which has been submitted to them, but has not yet been taken into considera tion. A resolution has been passed by the Common Council of the great manufacturing town of Paisley, in favour of the route by the Red Sea. The whole of the trading interest of the country will, in the course of a few days, be engaged in the consideration of this important project ; and there must be, on the part of the Ministry, a most singular power of re sistance to public opinion, if they are not soon found to do something decisive,—Morning Paper. LITERATURE. PETER PARLEY'S TALES ABOUT GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND. Tegg, London, 1836. This is one of the most delightful little child's books that has been published sinc e M rs . P r i sc ill a Wakefield's " Juvenile Travellers." The style is easy, flowing, and every where happily adapted to the youthful capacity ; and the knowledge, which is gathered from a variety of sources, interspersed with tale and anecdote, so as to rivet the attention of the reader. Peter is a capital instructor, for he has nothing prolix, nothing pedantic about him ; he does not p ara d e his information, or assume airs of superiority on the strength of it, but prattles away with his young pupils, just as if he were one of them. His details of the won ders of nature and art, to be found in England, Scotland, and Ireland, of the romantic scenery of the Highlands and the Welch mountains, of the manufacturing dis tricts of the north, of the principal towns in the king dom, and more especially of the metropolis, with its spacious parks and noble public buildings, are told in the liveliest and most exciting manner. Nor is this slight praise, for there are few things more difficult to write, even in this literary age, than an interesting child's book. To succeed in a task like this, is to snored where nine out of ten fail. If we mistake not, Peter Parley's piquant, unassuming volumes will soon drive all their predecessors out of the field. By the bye, we see that he has published Tales about the Sea, and Natural History—how is it that he has not yet sent us a copy of these ? We should not omit to add that the present volume is embellished with a variety of wood-cuts, executed in a very superior style. SCOTTS' PROSE WORKS, Vol. 28. Cadell, Edinburgh, 1836. This volume which concludes the well-known series of "Tales of a Grandfather," concludes also Sir W. Scott's prose works. It is illustrated with two en gravings from designs furnished by Turner, and pos sesses the recommendation of a copious index. RATTLIN THE REEFER. In 3 Vols. London, Bentley, 1836. This is an excellent novel. Like all Captain Mar ryatt's tales, the interest is sustained throughout by a series of striking incidents arising- out of, and linked as naturally to each other as cause and effect. We , know of no writer who throws such a mass of worldly knowledge into works of this description as Captain Marryat. He does not write for the nursery, but for the world. Without affecting the dogmatical tone of a moralist, or the whining cant of the conventicle, he loses no opportunity of inculcating good principles by the best of all methods—that of carefully distinguish ing their influence upon the lives and fortunes of his heroes and heroines. All the principle characters in " Rattlin the Reefer" are drawn with the bold hand of a master. Joe Brandon, Old Ford, Dr. Roots, and Captain Rend, are so many portraits taken from life. There can be no mistaking them for mere creations of the fancy. The mystery which hangs over the hero's birth is very properly made the cause of all his subsequent sufferings ; and the way in which the veil is removed at last, is as natural as it is interesting. We will not attempt to give an outline of a tale which will soon find its way to the shelves of every circulating library in the kingdom. Besides such an attempt is unnecessary, as a great part of the work has already appeared in the Metropolitan Magazine conducted, we believe, by the gallant author himself. We shall, however, make an extract or two for the satisfaction of those who are not in the habit of seeing the Metropolitan. Many a parent may find food for deep reflection in the following record of school-boy impressions : " But I will no longer dwell upon the portraiture of that saddest of all created things, the despised of many. I was taught the hard -lesson of looking upon cruelty as my daily bread, tears as my daily drink, and scorn as my natural por tion. Had not my heart hardened, it must have broken. But, before I leave what I call the desponding epoch of my schoolboy-days, I must not omit to mention a species of im pious barbarity, that had well nigh alienated my heart for ever from religion, and which made me, for the time, detest the very name of church. Christianity is most eminently a reli gion of kindness ; and, through the paths of holy love only, should the young heart be conducted to the throne of grace, for we have it from the highest authority, that the worship of little children is an acceptable offering, and may well mingle with the sweetest symphonies that ascend from the lips of se raphs to the footstool of the Everlasting. Our God is not a God of terrors, and when he is so represented, or is made so by any flint-hearted pedagogue to the infant pupil, that man has to answer for the almost unpardonable sin of perilling a soul. Let parents and guardians look to it. Let them mark well the unwilling files that are paraded by boarding school keepers, into the adjacent church or chapel, bringing a mercenary puff up to the very horns of the altar, and let them then inquire how many are flogged, or beaten, or other wise evil-entreated, because they have flagged in an attention impossible in the days of childhood, and have not remembered a text perhaps indistinctly or inaudibly given : let those pa rents and guardians, I say, inquire, and if but one poor youth has so suffered, let them be fully assured, that that master, whatever may be his diligence, whatever may be his attain ments, however high his worldly character may stand, is not fit to be the modeller of the youthful mind, and only wants the opportunity to betray that bigotry which would gladly burn his dissenting neighbour at the stake, or lash a faith, with exquisite tortures, into the children of those whom, in his saintly pride, he may call heretical." The following extract is by no means the best we could select, but it is the most suited to the space at our immediate disposal. It is rather highly coloured— a fault very rarely to be met with in any of Captain Marryat's Novels ; " On the Surrey side of the hill, for its apex separated it from another county, the descent was more precipitous--so much so, that it is now wholly disused as a road for carriages ; and not only was it precipitous, but excessively contorted, the bends sometimes running at right angles with ea c h o th er . High banks, clothed with impervious hedges, and shadowed by tall trees, made the road both dank and dark% and, at the time that I was passing, or, rather, turning round one of the elbows of this descent, a sturdy fellow, with a heavy cudgel, followed at some distance by a much smaller man, accosted me in a rude tone of voice, by bawling out— " I say, you sir, what's o'clock ?' Go about your business, and let me pass.' Take that for your civility f—and, with a severe blow with his-stick, he laid me prostrate. I was not stunned, but felt very sick, and altogether incapable of rising. In this state, I determined to feign stupefaction, so I nearly closed my eyes, and lay perfectly still. The huge vagabond then placed his knee upon my chest, and called out to his companion— " I say, Mister, come and see if this here chap's the right un.' " The person called to came up ' • and, immediately after, through my eyelashes, I beheld the diabolical white face of Daunton. It was so dark, that, to recognize me, he was obliged to place his countenance so close to mine, that his hot breath burned against my check. He was in a passion of ter ror, and trembled as if in an access of ague. " It is,' said he, whilst his teeth chattered. Is he stunned ?' " Mister, now I take that as an insult. D'ye think that John Gowles need strike such a strip of a thing as that ere twice?' " ' Hush I —how very, very cold it is 1 Where is your knife ? Will you do it?' " Most sartainly not. There—he's at your mercy—l never committed murder yet—no, no, must think of my precious soul. A bargain's a bargain —my part on't is done.' " Gowles, don't talk so loud. I can't bear the sight of blood—and, oh God I—of this blood—it would spirt upon my hand. Strike him again over the head—he breathes heavily_ strike him 1' No,' said the confederate, sullenly. neither art nor part in this ere murder.' " During this very interesting conference, I was rallying al. my energies for one desperate effort, intending, however, to wait for the uplifted knife, to grasp it, in order that I might turn the weapon against the breast of one assassin, and then use it as a defence against the other. " Would to God,' said the villain, adding blasphemy to concerted murder—' would to God that my hand was spared this task 1 Give me the knife now. Where shall I strike him ?—.I have no strength to drive it into him far.' " Tell ye, Mister, u'll have nought to do with the murder— but u'd advise thee to bare his neck, and thrust in the point just under his right ear.' " Hush I Will it bleed much ?' " D—ly 1' " ' Horrible I —horrible 1 Do you think the story about Cain and Abel is true ?' " As God is in heaven !' " Then, my brother's blood will turn everything to scarlet as long as I live. Can't it be done without blood ?' I'll have nothing to do with the murder. But, Mister, if so be as you are so craven-hearted, take your small popper, and send a ball right into his heart. It is a gentleman's death, and will make the prettiest small hole imaginable, and bleed none to signify. But, mind ye, this ere murder's all your own.' " At this critieal moment, as I was inhaling a strong breath, in order to invigorate my frame for instant exertion, I heard two or three voices in the distance carolling out, in a sort of disjointed chorus— ' Many droll sights I've seen, But I wish th e wars were over.' " Now or never,' said Joshua, producing and cocking his pistol. I leaped up on my legs in an instant, and, seizing the weapon, which was a small tool, manufactured for a gentle. man's pocket, by the barrel with my left hand, and this amiable specimen of fraternity by the right, the struggle of an instant ensued. The muzzle of the pistol was close against my breast when my adversary discharged it. I felt the sharp hard knock ' Tell ye—u'll have of the ball upon my chest, and the percussion, for the moment , took away my breath, but my hold upon the villain's throat was unrelaxed. The gurgling of suffocation became audible to his brutal companion, " Ods sneckens 1' said the brute, but this ere murdered man is throttling my Mister in his death-throe.' Down at once came his tremendous cudgel upon my arm• I released my grip, and again fell to the earth. " He's a dead man,' said Gowles ; run for your life I Mind, Mister, I had neither art nor part in this ere—' " And they were almost immediately out of sight and out 0 hearing." - - --- We understand it is expected that the Liberator of Ireland, Mr. O'Connell, and the Hon. and Rev. Mr. Spencer, will be present at the entertainment given to the Prelates and Clergy, after the consecration of the Cathedral of Tuam, on the 18th inst. —Castlebar Telegraph. We hear that Marshal Clausel has received n otice not to hasten his return to Africa from his country seat, where he is now staying, as his military talents may be called for ie another direction, where they may be still more useful to France and Europe.—.Frenck Paper. ROYALVICTORIATHEATRE.—The aboveTheatie , which has been for some time closed in consequence of a legal dispute, re-opened yesterday evening. During the period the Theatre has been closed, it has been entirely re-decorated . The only novelty produced last evening was a melo-drama under the title of Benedetto Mangone, or the old Log-house. To the lovers of the horrible this piece will afford a great treat, but we do not think it is likely to have a great run, as the public is sated with performances of this description. The principal characters, Benedetto Mangone, a brigand chief, and Agnes, his wife, were very well represented by Mr. Archer and Mrs. Vining. The other entertainments were the farce of the Time-Pi ece , an d t h e me l o -d rama o f t h e Warlock of O r G!en. The house was well attended. We beg to poidt the attention or our readers to an address which will be found in another column, from the Li censed Victuallers who compose the deputations now in town , from Liverpool, Birmingham, Leeds, and other important cities and towns, to their brethren in London, respecting the Bill now in the House of Lords, for the better regulation of Inns, Ale- houses, &c. These gentlemen have been most active and diligent in the execution of the mission entrusted:t o them, and their address deserves the best attention of the Li censed Victuallers of the Metropolis and its vicinity. Th e clause objected to, and which will be found embodied in their appeal, is certainly of a highly obnoxious character, inasmuch as it confers great privileges upon the comparatively irrespon sible beer-shop-keeper, which are not allowed to the truly responsible Licensed Victualler. The Bill, as a whole, beg; we believe, but little chance of passing through the House 0 1 Lords ; but it is always well to be provided against even the chance of evil ; and we recommend, in consequence, those who think that they will b e aggr i eve d , an d t h e i r i nterests CO its by passing i n t o a l aw , to b e up an d d o i ng w hile there remains a chance of upsetting it.—Morning Advertiser . A striking instance of the profligacy of the Tory Press in all matters with which the name of Mr. O'Connel l is connected, has just been exhibited in an Orange newspaper published in Dublin. At one of the recent meetings o f the General Association, Mr. O'C onne ll was urg i ng on countrymen the necessity of attending to the registries, el, order to increase the number of Lib era l M em b ers f or I re land at the next general election ; and in his own fashion said, that any man who neglected to register, and to support Reformer s at the hustings, would be spit upon by the women, and would get no wife, if single, unless, perhaps, he were to select spouse from among " the oldest and the ugliest women in the parish." In Saunders's News-Letter—an Orange p a per--. this passage of Mr. O'Connell's speech is thus reported " Unless, indeed, as a punishment, he (the negligent or renegade elector) were condemned t o marry t h e S c otch and English women of the parish." The malignant pur pose for which this gross perversion of Mr. O'Connell s words was published by the Orange journal will at once bet, perceived, wh en th e use l a t e ly ma d e b y t h e T ory pres s of another infamous misreport of a speech spoken by Mr. O'Con nell some fourteen years ago is recollected. As it is, we should not be in the least surprised to see the columns of the Times and of the Standard groaning in a week hence Wit h invective against Mr. O'Connell for this new-fangled sneer at the women of England, even though the reporter of the Orange journal has openly admitted the misreport. That the reporter is blameless we are fully persuaded ; but we are by no means prepared to saddle the printer with the malicious mistake. How could such a mistake accidentally occur ? There is no analogy either in sound, sense, or s.pelling betwee n the " oldest and ugliest w omen " spo k en o f by Mr. O'Connell, and Ono " Scotch and English women" printed by the Orange newspaper. The misreport was suited to a particular pur pose, and we repeat, with a Duke Illustrious not by courtesy' there could be no mistake.—Morning Paper. MYSTERIOUS OCCURRENCE.—Yesterday morn ing, about half-past four o'clock, as a policeman of the ' division was walking his beat, on the banks of the Paddingto n , Canal, near the second bridge from London, on the Harrow road, he discovered something floating on the water, near the north shore, which he found, on approaching nearer to it, t ° be the body of a man, without either coat, waistcoat, or hat' The body was dragged on shore, and found to be that of a man, apparently of respectability, about 62 years of age, stoutly formed, with a fine full face, very white hair, distributed in small quantities on the hind er p ar t o f t h e h ea d . Hi s s hirt, and other portions of hi s d ress w hi c h rema i ne d upon him, were of the best quality, but unmrked, and not a single memo', randum was f oun d upon hi m b y wh i ch it could be d isc overe d who or what he was. The body was conveyed to the work house at Paddingt on , t o awa i t the Coroner's inquest. It i.! rather a remarkable circumstance, that although the most rig inquiry was mad e a l ong t h e b an k s o f the Canal, no intelli gence could be heard of any coat and waistcoat, or rather ap parel, being found in the neighbourhood. There were glair/ marks of violence on the body.
