SECOND EDITION. \flfl. ° 51111; LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1844. FRANCE AND MOROCCO. We have received by extraordinary express front Paris the Messager of Sunday night, which contains the following : " TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCH. " BAYONNE, SEPT. 15. " Transmitted by the Prince de Joinville to the Minister of Marine, and by the Duke de Glucksberg and M. Nyon to the Minister for Foreign Affairs. " TANGIERS, SEPT. 6. " The Morocco Government has asked for peace. The squadron arrived before Tangiers this day. The governor of the city went on board, and renewed his request. Our conditions were signified to him, and accepted, and the treaty signed. In the course of the day the (French) Consul-General was re-installed, sad his flag saluted by the cannon of the city. " Orders to discontinue all hostility, and to evacuate the Isle of Mogadore, will be forwarded this evening." The Herald of this morning has a queer article on the subject of the demerits of the Anti-Corn-law League, which it has just ascertained to be in the last stage of decrepitude. It is all but virtually de funct, exclaims our Contemporary, with a spiteful chuckle, and nothing but an adverse condition of trade and wide-spread distress can give it a chance of reanimation. In vain Contaxx argues and BRIGHT decla i ms ; m en heed not " the song of the charmers, charm they never so wisely !" In vain L eague Tracts are circulated by thousands throughout the country—tossed in at the , windows or t h rust under the door-ways of labourers cottages--no one reads them, and they are either torn .up for. shaving. Paper or given to the servant of all wo rk to light the fire with. So thinks the Herald, and on the strength of its conviction it affects the smart and the jocular, but with about as much success as a hippo potamus would exhibit who should undertake to dance the Polka. But though our Contemporary is abun dantly merry at the idea of " the daughters of the ten-pounders shaking their white "cotton-handker chiefs in Covent-garden Theatre," in testimony of their approbation of the sayings and doings of the League; it is clear, from a subsequent passage in his article, of a graver and more earnest character, that he is by no means so persuaded of the fallen condi. tion of this popular confederacy as he would have his readers imagine but, on the contrary, is really of opinion that it is still possessed of considerable influence, and sho u ld s till, th ere f ore , con ti nue to be viewed with alarm by all good Conservgives. He even takes rd . ins to show what are the hidden ob jects it has in dew, which he would scarcely give himself the tro' able to do, were he satisSed in his own mind that it laid really and. truly sunk into insignifi cance :—" It is indisputably manifest," says the Herald, "-that this dangerous confederacy has not been forrnied, and by its leaders moulded in its present shape, namely for the purpose of promoting free trade, nctwithstaading what the majority of its deluiled followers may imagine ; but that it has been ?orthed by them, with its existing affiliations 'and ramifications, with the desire of ovePihrtowing the Constitution, and replacing it by one on a purely democratic basis I A pretty state this great country would be reduced to, with the wholes p o wer of Government wielded by Leaguers and litspealers !" A pretty state, indeed, and such as no lower of monarchy can contemplate without a shudder! Imagine the Anti-Corn-law League suc ceesful in its efforts to capsize the Constitution, and establish a pure democracy on the ruins ! Of course the very - first thing these horrid Revolutionists would do, would be to ship off the QUEEN to her uncle ERNEST at .Hanover, and dispatch Prince ALBERT to his native cos.'ntry of Saxe Coburg, having previously deprived him e f his annuity, and left him with scarcely cash enough in his pocket to defray the expenses ofhis journey. Having thus sealed the doom of the monarchy, they would doubtless next proceed to abolish the House of Lords, together with the law of ", Primogeniture on which it lays such stress ; and this diabolical act accomplished to their satisfaction, the monsters would then turn their attention to poor dear old mother Church, whom as a matter of course they would bleed to within an inch of her precious life; and should any of the bishops object to this remedial process, fine—imprisonment—or perhaps even a month at the treadmill—is the very least they could expect for their unreasonable remonstrances. But, alas, these are not the worst horrors that would accrue from the triumph of the democratic Anti-Corn-law League V Having got rid of the monarchy and the Church, the next step of the free-traders would be to proclaim a Republic, with COBDEN as President, and Bamn.T as Vice I Then would commence, the reign of anarchy, confusion, and open, bare-faced spoliation. Alas, for :the estates of the nobility and the various possessions of the rich, unless they happened to be manufacturers and supporters of the new Republican Government ! All public securities would be of no more value than so much waste paper. The Three per Cents. would be down to two. The Bulls and Bears would sigh and groan and weep in touch ing fellowship of tribulation. The Bank Direc tors would heap sackcloth and ashes on their heads. Threadneedle-street would refuse to be comforted ; and the voice of wailing could be heard among the counting-houses of Lom bsrd-street ! No wonder that the Herald, in the very midst of its jocularity, takes a sudden fright at the bare contemplation 'of this state of things, and warns its readers, in its most awful and oracular manner, against the democratic designs of the Anti-Corn-law confedera:y I But let not our Contemporary be alarmed. The League has not the remotest idea of shipping o ff Queen VICTORIA to Hanover, and proclaiming a Republic. It has no wish to disembarrass the aristocracy of their possessions; and we have every reason to believe—indeed we may be considered as speaking on authority—that were things to come to the worst, Mr. COBDEN would decline the President's chair, and, in concert with his colleagues, make every effort to maintain the integrity of the Three per Cents., and calm the apprehensira of the high-minded and disinterested Bulls and Bears of the Stock Exchange ! Nothing in the world is so unreasonable as poli tical morality. Hypocrisy, in the moral intercourse of social life, is odious enough, Heaven knows ; and is always, when detected, as ridiculous as odious. But political morality does not even affect to observe the mere appearances of those virtues, the distinct exercise of which it rigorously exacts from all with whom it is brought into contact. It does not simply commit the most atrocious frauds, violences, and iniquities— on States and individuals where it has its own pur poses to serve, and they have not the art or the power to resist its machinations—but it justifies them. It broadly proclaims that its own ends justify all the means that it may employ for their attainment. But whilst it allows this latitude to its own principles of action, it will not allow to its friends or its foes the slightest right of private judgment in adapting theirs to the exigency of circumstances, however imperative. A few months ago the journals of the United States were loud and furious in their deprecations of the ambition and reckless spirit of aggrandisement which, according to them, had prompted this country to allow British subjects to occupy the territory of the Oregon. To that territory they claimed a priority of title—a title which has since been abundantly dis proved in the diplomatic State papers by themselves, produced in order to found it. But, at the same time, as they still do now, they urged on the annexation of Texas to their own territory, in virtue of , pretensions much more lately originated. The pre text relied on for the annexation of Texas never con cealed for a moment the objects of occupying a terri tory, favourable beyond all others for the purposes of a great slave entrepot between Africa and South America, and of adding one to the strength of the slave holding States of the Federal Union. This flagitious scheme for securing a majority to the southern States against those of the north was advocated by the men who were most unmeasured in their invectives against England for its lust of dominion, and for the inade quacy of its political institutions, as compared with those of the Union, to uphold the rights of human freedom ! But the French were certainly disposed to " go ahead" of brother Jonathan, altogether, in this one-sided self-complacent, prejudiced, and incon sistent political morality. We have been greatly amused with some passages in the foreign correspon dence that has come under cur review, and which bear very closely and with singular force on this point. For'example. With the seizure and occupation of Algeria fresh in the recollections of the French mind , (contrasted, as that is, in the mind of Europe at large with the solemn recorded abjuration of all intention to occupy, on the part of the French Government), it is less surprising, perhaps, than whimsical, to find the Commerce giving us credit for no less a design than to make, with Russia, a partition of the Turkish empire ! We are to act with as much profligate injustice to the SULTAN, as the CZARINA did to the tuffortunate King of POLAND ; and the duplicity of our diplomacy at the outset of these fine designs is not to be exceeded by that which has refused to vacate Algeria, in fulfilment of its formal declara tions, or which is now affecting to demand atone ments and apologies from Morocco for its own aggressions on her territory. The Commerce, it seems, in the language of the • Morning Post, has dis covered the secret of " the Emperor of RUSSIA'S visit to England, and of that which Count NESSELRODE has since paid to this country. A treaty of alliance has been concluded between England and Russia, the real and final object of which is the approaching par tition of Turkey, and the avowed and momentary one, the giving to the former power a sovereign com-• rnand over the Isthmus of Suez for its military and political communications with India by the Red Seat and to the latter, the passage of the Dardanelles for the Black Sea fleet." • We have not the heart gravely to contradict this hypothesis; it is too overwhelming and too probable. But the " Courrier Francais" publishes a long letter from Aden, reprinted in the Times, which is the per fection of the politico-moral hypocrisy we have ad- verted to. It is curious, that in the same paper, we have an extract from the lion. Mr. CUSHING'S inte- resting description of Aden, forwarded by that gentle man (American Commissioner to China) to the National Institute at Washington. Mr. CUSHING, writing like an observant and intelligent traveller, speaks approvingly of our sagacity and indomitable perseverance ; but never once detects in the manifes tation of these qualities a deliberate desire to shut out all the world besides from the commerce of Arabia and India : " In taking po ssessi onEngl Cushing, " the of Aden, in Arabia," says Mt. near to t i h a e ry B quired a very important military has recently ac post on the southern Seaand d raits of Babelmandel, tahedSea of Arabia, as shores of Arabia, and portion of the which commands the Red t th G an ib t r h a e lta a h r ear n t gland has Gibrtirtar does the Mediterranean nature's own Aden construction. is evenm more Gibraltar, a castle of excavated for herself a citadel in stone mountain. At Aden she has planted herosfelafliinmaen. ancient crater, and sits secure within the primeval for_ tress formed by the lofty sides of an extinct volcano."' The correspondent of the Courrier hopes that his information " about Aden may e useful to his country;" and, therefore, sets out •with the important announcement that it was former ly called Portus Ro manus, and is a town of the reemen, which, from its position and recent occupation by the English, pro mises to become an important c ommercial and military station, particularly now that Egypt is advancing to wards the period when she win become a British colony. (More information here.) After giving a minute description of the fort, the harbour, the batteries, and the heights on which these latter are erected, he breaks out into the forlowiag strain of amusingly splenetic contemplation :-- " I ascended these heights,. and I confess I was asto nished to find the harbour so el asily defended, and this im pregnable position, surround -d by a natural girdle of bastions, which only wait to be armed to be capable of annihilating the most formk table fleets. I experienced the most painful emotions at the idea of the consequences of these preparations. I can got comprehend how France and Europe regard with inaifference England preparing a new Gibraltar on this roaa'. fruitful in riches, which extends from the European 4)cean to the Indian Ocean by traversing Egypt. We moat not deceive ourselves, it is a new Gibraltar which is already erected at Aden." A very grievous thing, indeed! What a piece of presumption in England—when France was so honourably signalising the profundity and grandeur of her designs by a descent on the Marquesas, an angry demonstration against Buenos Ayres, a coup de main upon Otaheite—to 'cast about and plant the British flag on so commanding a post upon "a road fruitful in riches"--instead of cocoa-nuts or bread fruit trees. The writer anticipates that if England be interrogated on this subject, she may probably reply, " What we are doing is against the Arabs." This, we are told, is " vain pretext and pure decep tion," for " it is evident these works are intended for more than the muskets of the Bedouins." Astonish ing discovery I That the walls and works which pro tect Aden, the strongest natural post, perhaps, on the whole coast of Arabia, should be more than musket proof, is a fact well calculated to awaken the most profound and alarming suspicions. " Everything," we arc told, "marches silently towards one object, fatal to the liberty of the seas for every nation in Europe." The truth is, that this French letter-writer seems indignant at the notion of batteries being raised of greater resisting power than the log-forts of Otaheite, or the ruinous bastions and casemates of Tangiers or Mogadore. lie quotes (as the informa tion, we suppose, which is to be useful to his country) this description of Aden from some pestilent "Eng lish, elementary treatise, entitled System of Geo graphy " " This peninsula has much resemblance to the rock of Gibraltar, and may be easily rendered as impregnable.. . The English Government has taken possession of it. Aden has the advantage over Gibraltar of possessing a harbour which is perfectly secure and capable of con taining the most formidable squadron, and, consequently, of holding the key of the Red Sea against any power that exists. Last year three, British officers came to Aden to study a general system of defence, of which the works executed at the entrance of the town are the com mencement." And we fear the reader will be hardly prepared to believe that these Commissioners, instead of recom mending their own Government to lay their reports before Admiral DUPETIT TROUARS, or the Prince DE JOINVILLE, and to solicit the Government of France to seize, but of course " not to occupy," the fort and little adjacent territory of Aden, have actually con tributed to bring about this very un-French like state of things there :—" At present the rocks of Aden are crowned with cannon. The only entrance to the town is fortified, and the garrison is already composed of two regiments of infantry and two companies of Indian and European artillery." We suppose it will be demanded of Lord ABERDEEN that he, at least, will cashier the Commissioners and recal the troops. Madrid Journals and letters of the 9th have been received. M. MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA bad arrived in the capital, and, it was thought, would accept the post of Minister of Foreign Affairs. Dispatches from Cadiz had reached the French Legation, and the report was afloat at Madrid that the negotiations between France and Morocco were assuming a more favourable aspect. The Prince JOINVILLE was still at Cadiz. The successes of the Carlists in the elections in Navarre, appear to have excited the apprehensions of the reigning party. The Globe has the following on the subject : " The Carlists, under the command of the clergy, are flocking to the elections, and triumphing at Pampe luna and at other places. The names of the successful candidates are not equivocal ; they are the writers of the Onate Gazette, the members of the Estella Junta, and a journalist who urges at Madrid a coalition between the Carlists and a fraction of the Moderado party. Pam peluna letters of the sth announce that at Huerte, Traquil, Peralta, and other places, the Carlists have prevailed, and that the elections are hotly disputed at Elisondo, and in other parts of the Bastan. Baron de Biquizal, a Moderado, has been repulsed at Pampeluna. At Salamanca the Carlists are also prevailing over the Monarchico-Constitutional party." The Gibraltar Chronicle of the 2d instant, after stating that a son of the Emperor of MOROCCO had paid a visit to her MAJESTY'S ship Formidable, and been received with due honours; adds : " The Moors occupy a fort to the east of the town of Mogadore, whence they have fired on the Frenh ship of-war l'Algier, which arrived from Toulon on the 31st August. They obliged that ship to move to the south of the island. She was carrying large quantities of am munition ; 35,000 projectiles have been discharged in the bombardment of Mogadore. " The Moorish batteries established along the coast fire on all ships that approach it, supposing that the French hoist foreign flags in order to approach the fortifications more safely. " Mr. Bulwer has left in the Hecla steamer for qadis, with the satisfaction of having finally settled the dif ferences between Spain and Morocco." The Cadiz Defensor del Pueblo also says:— " Yesterday the English steamer Hecla arrived from Gibraltar with Mr. Bulwer, and she confirms the news of the conclusion of peace between Spain and Morocco." The Barcelona prints of the 10th instant are desti tute of news. • • MADRID BOMA, SEPT. 9.—Three per Cents., 27 13-16, at 60 days ; Floating Debt on the Treasury 62 for cash, 63i at 60 days. Debt without interest 6 1-16, at 60 days. Exchange—London, 371. The Paris papers of Sunday have arrived. The Journal des Debals has a long article on the affairs of British India. It thus comments on the causes which led to the dismissal of Lord ELLENDOROUGII : " The dismissal of Lord Ellenborough may be consi dered as the result of a struggle for power, which has been for a long time going on between the Directors of the Company and the Home Government. It is a bold attempt on the part of the Directors t o recover their ancient position in the Government of India. This struggle will probably end in their fall at the approach ing expiration of their charter in 1854, but they will at least have succeeded in causing themselves to be re• spected during this interval by the successors of Lord Ellenborough. If they can do nothing against a Ministry which attracts everything to itself, and absorbs day by day all the substance of power, they will at least have shown to future Governors-General that they must not jest with their powerlessness, and treat their coun sels with disdain. Their feelings, however, must have been wounded, and their indignation raised to the highest degree before, to force them unanimously to oppose the present Government with which they sym pathise. The fact is the correspondence of Lord El lenborough with them was contemptuous and insulting to the last degree. Despotism and presumption were the characteristic traits of this statesman." With regard to the great confederacy against Bri tish domination in India, of which Russia was the head and the chief, and which extended through Bok ara, Persia, and all Affghanistan, the formation of which it pompously announced some time ago, it now admits that the confederacy has moderated its pretensions, or in other words, failed, and that Rus sia, at length, is convinced that all its intrigues to wards sapping the foundation of our power are im potent. The article in the Journal des Debats of the day before, stating that the Duke DB GLUCKSBERG and Consul DE nor; have been instructed to proceed to Tangiers, and endeavour to renew negotiations with the Emperor of Monocco, is animadverted upon by all the Opposition prints. The expenses which the war has already required are enumerated and magni fied, and the Cabinet is violently assailed for tender ing peace on no harsher terms than those it proposed before the battle of Isly, and the bombardments of Tangiers and Mogadore. This forbearance is, of course, imputed to a dread of the displeasure of this country, which, after being alternately represented as marring m and favouring the negotiations of France, and applauding and thwarting her operations, is now considered as anxious that she should forthwith make peace, but on the most unprofitable terms. The Presse, however, differs from the rnajgrity of its Con temporaries, and suspects that England would gladly see France engaged in an interminable war, in Africa, even should she destroy Tetuan, Larache, and Sake, and burn Fez, Mequinez, * and Mazagan. "We must not," says that print, " suffer ourselves to be THE. SUN, LONEr9I4, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 17, 1844. deceived by false appearances.• England, though seemingly apprehensive of France carrying to extre mities the war with Morocco, may very possibly secretly wish for it. Rest assured that the éclat of our arms molest her less than the progress of our in dustry. All that weakens our credit, all that checks the development of our prosperity, adjourns competi tion between her and us, and turns to the profit of her commerce." The French squadron which has bombarded Moga dore was in the bay of Cadiz on the 3d inst. The line-of-battle ship l'lnflexible, and the Montezuma steamer arrived on the same day from Algiers, but they were not suffered to enter the port, owing to their having no hills of health from the one they had last left. This circumstance had given rise to the seizure of the Defensor del Pueblo and the imprison ment of its editor. It had violently complained of the town havingbeen exposed to the plague, in consequence of the French ships being suffered to have free com munication with the port. According to the last accounts from Oran, Marshal Bugeaud's corps d'armee was still assembled on the frontier of Morocco, occupying the camp of Lalla Magrhin and the environs ; great efforts were being made to supply the army for the winter. No Moorish troops had been seen on the frontier since the battle of Isly. The Constitutionnel has an article on the subject of the appointment of Mr. PRITCHARD to the Naviga tor's Islands, which, says the Constitutionnel, are only 300 maritime leagues from the Society Islands, so that Mr. PRITCHARD can very easily watch from thence over the interests of Queen POMARE and the English missions at Otaheite. The article then goes on to ac cuse the Wesleyan missionaries of propagating Pro testantism in the Navigator's Islands by persecution, torture, and rebellion against the native princes. THIS DAY'S NEWS. DONCASTER RACES. DONCASTER, MONDAY, The races not having terminated until within half an hour of the departure of the mail, we have only time to state that they were better attended than usual on the first day at Doncaster, and that the weather, of which the indications in the early part of the morning were anything but encouraging, was as favourable as could have been desired. The St. Leger continues to excite great interest amongst all classes, increased in no slight degree by an intimation that Ithuriel walked sound this morning, followed by his immediate re-appearance in the betting ; very few, however, entertain any hope of his " pulling through."

CITY OF LONDON REGISTRY. (THIS DAY.) Some discussion was created this morning owing to the existence of two electoral lists from the parish of St. Stephen's, Walbrook. One list is furnished by Mr. Al derman Gibbs, and the other by Mr. Rock. In reply to a question from Mr. Wansey upon this subject, The REVISING BARRISTER said the more regular course would have been to defer the consideration of this matter until the revision of the lists of St. Stephen's, Walbrook, wete before the Court in the usual order ; decision upon the matterhe sho u u l n d t , il t t l h i c a r t e f t o i m re e ,. po s tpon_ e any The Court having intimated, at its rising yesterday, its intention to take the objections against, and the claims to, the several Liveries, the clerks of the Companies were in attendance; and the Apothecaries' being the first on the list, was gone through with but few objections. CHANGE 07 RESIDENCE. — When the Barbers' Com pany was under decision, a point was raised which called an important opinion from the Court. Many of those freemen who had changed their residences, were in the habit of addressing letters to the respective agents, to be shown in Court, in order that their description might be amended. The Revising Barrister decided that such letters could not be admitted as proof, although oral infor mation to those gentlemen from the applicants might. In the case of John Davis, whose franchise was con tested by the Conservative agent, on the ground of not residing at the place named in the list, it was proved many years resident there, awarded costs for ground. l ve h sh a se t no l t e ph o w e s a ißt s ieo a vn n i .sdi Revising had b a c r e r i n s t f e o r r Up to the time of our going to press, the revision had proceeded as far as the Clothworkers' Company. COURT. RT.—(THIS DAY.) (Before the RECORDER.) CRIMINAL pEnuR yTL C oasL O sp li , the conductor of a Tooting circumstances of the case ap- Hannah Merritt, is a lady's maid, residin g with a . family p a n ea d r ce omnibus,do r t r o up l b s t e a p s a e s i r n j f d u o i r l c r o t .ewds with e havin g b een gu ilty o f w ilful in Mornington-crescent, Hampstead -road. On the 6th of July last the prosecutrix went, about a quarter-past nine o'clock in the evening, to the Elephant and Castle, with the view of getting into a Tooting omnibus, to go to that place. At the time stated two Tooting omnibuses drove up, of one of which a person named Wilson was the driver, and a person named Nightingale was the driver, or owner, of the other. A person who was the touter for Wilson's omnibuses came up to the prosecutrix, and requested her to get into his omnibus. She said she wished to q o by Nighti ng i l l e ' s omn ib us , and the man then said his omnibus was Ni g hti nga l e ' s , and she there upon permitted him to hand her in. The moment, how ever, she had seated herself, and before the omnibus had proceeded a singl e yard, she found she had been imposed on, and that it was not Nightingale's omnibus. Upon this discovery she immediately proceeded to alight, and as she was getting out Wilson came up to her, and said he wanted sixpence from her, to which she replied, she did not owe him anything, as she had been induced by false statements to get into his omni bus, and she h a d not travelled a yar d b y it ; t o whi c h Wilson replied, 0 yes,you got into my omnibus in Gracechurch-street" She denied this, and im mediately w en t onwards to Night i nga l e ' s omn ib us ; " and while she was getting up the steps, the driver, Wil son, gave her a severe blow on her breast. When she arrived at Tooting, she stated what had taken place to her friends there, and the result was, the owner of the omnibus was summoned before the magistrate of Union Hall, Mr. Cottingham. The owner appeared to the summons, and produced Wilson, the driver, who brought forward the defendant at the bar, Steele, as his witness; and he positively s wore t h at t h e prosecu trix had got into Wilson's omnibus in Gracechurch-street ; and he also swore to the pr ec i se t i me o f n ight and spot, where and when she got in, and also that she had not been struck. The evidence on each side being so contradictory, the magistrate adjourned the further hearing of the case till the 17th of July, the first examination taking place on the 12th. On ad journing the case to the 17th of July, Mr. Cottingham required both cal. t; —es, in the interim, to look out for further evidence. At the adjourned hearing, the prose cutrix swore to precisely the same facts as she bad done before, and produced witnesses who corroborated hEr in every particular. The defendant also produced further evidence which the magistrate declined to believe, de claring the charge to be proved, fined the driver Wilson for the assault, and ordered the present prosecution to be instituted against Steele for wilful and corrupt per jury, and bound the defendant over to appear at thi. Court to answer any bill that might be preferred against him. The case wa s postpone d l as t session on account of the absence of a wit ness . Mr. KENNEDY, f or t h e prosecution, called several wit ness, and Mr. C RARNOCK d e f en d e d the prisoner, con tending that he had not comm itt e d wilful and corrupt perjury, but had made a mistake in swearing to the prosecutrix. Mr. Holden, tho master of th e d e f en d an t, gave hi m an excellent character for veracity and respect for truth. The RECORDER summed up at some length, and The jury acquitted the prisoner. NEW COURT. Anne Watson was placed at the bar, charged with stealing 76 yards of silk,:value 151., the property of Row land Cooper. _ _ It appeared that the prisoner came into the shop of the prisoner on the 26th of August. She inquired about some calico, which was shown her, but did not buy it. She returned again, and the shopman was at the time showing some silks to a person in the shop. In a short time he missed five pieces, and found two of them with the prisoner and three at her feet. The prisoner was at the time standing neat the counter. A witness was called on behalf of the defendant, who stated that she was in the shop at the time, and that she believed the prisoner was only taking up the silks which had fallen.—The prisoner was acquitted. - Maria Downs, spinster, aged 27, was charged with stealing a purse, containing two sovereigns and two half crowns, the property of Joseph Poode. • It appeared from the evidence that the prosecutor and the prisoner, together with another female, went into some public-houses in Swan-lane, Kensington, where they had some gin, for which the prosecutor paid. He took the money out of his purse, which be put into his waistcoat pocket and walked out with the prisoner. In a short time the prosecutor perceived that his purse was gone ; and he seized the prisoner, and kept her till a policeman came up, who took some of the money out of her hand. The remainder was on the ground near her. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and it appearing that she had been before convicted of a felony of a similar nature, she was sentenced to ten years' transportation. CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.) SCENE BETWEEN A MOTHER AND SON.—John Welch, residing at 14, Gower-place, St. Pancras, and aged 14, was charged with threatening the life of Marie Welch, his mother. The complainant deposed that the prisoner's depra vity had become so great that she was obliged to expel him from the house. He came on the previous evening, and after abusing her outside the door so as to create a mob, forcibly entered the house and threatened her life. Mr. ComnE—What have you to say ? Prisoner— She turned me out and left me to starve in the streets. The Mother—You tell a lie, you know I did not turn you out until I could endure your wickedness no longer. Prisoner—Wickedness ! don't talk abut that. You keep a bad house. The Mother—You are a vagabond, and my life is in danger from you. The Magistrate told him he must be sent to prison unless he could find bail. Prisoner—And is she to be at large? lie was committed to the Sessions. MA.RYLEBONE.—(THIS DAY.) After the night charges had been disposed of, John Wilson, an ill-looking middle-aged man, who was stated to be a shoemaker, was placed at the bar before Mr. Rawlinson, charged with attempting to murder Catherine Wilson, his wife. The poor creature was led into court by two men, and placed in the witness-box. The left side of her face and head was covered with coagu lated blood. She could scarcely stand, and gave her evidence with much difficuity. She said she had been married six years to the prisoner, and that he was continually in the habit of brutally ill-using her. This morning about nine o'clock he seized the candle stick which he used in his trade (a large piece of wood with a tin socket for a candle at the top of it—the metal was broken and bent), and cut her head open with it. She was then suffering great pain from the wound. Mr. Birch, surgeon, residing at No. 15, Great Mary lebone-street, stated that he was requested by police constable, 64 D, to go to the station-house. On pro ceeding thither he found the woman bleeding very much, and very faint from the loss of blood. On exa mining her head he found one wound nearly half an inch deep. He considered the woman's life in danger, as it was not unlikely that erysipelas may supervene. Mr. RAWLINSON—WouId it be better to dispose of the case now, or remand it ? Mr. Birch thought it would be better to remand the prisoner, as from the wound being of a dangerous cha racter, the worst consequences might ensue in a day or two. The prisoner said, his wife took the candlestick up to strike him, and he took it from her, and she was struck in the struggle.—He was remanded for a week. UNION-HALL.—(THIS DAY.) Thomas Wright, a youth, was charged before Mr. Traill with exposing fur sale pictures of an immoral nature. Police-sergeant, 12 L, stated that complaints have recently been made to the police that several persons have been in the habit of se lli ng p r i n t s o f an immoral description in the public streets ; that on the preceding night, he (the sergeant), while on duty in the Westmin ster-road, observed the defendant standing near Atkin son's Warehouse selling prints, and that a crowd of persons was collected about him, some of whom were purchasers, and that the defendant had a box which was filled with the same description of prints. (The ser geant here produced a specimen of the prints which was a representation of a lady taking a shower bath ; but there did not appear to be anything in the print of an immoral tendency, the figure being clothed with the exception of the head, neck, and feet.) Mr. TRAILL said that the charge against the defendant did not come under the Act for the suppression of im proper publications. The defendant, however, was not justified in selling things of this kind about the streets, and if he persisted in such a course, and was brought there again, he would certainly be punished for causing crowds of persons to collect and obstruct the thoroughfare. The defendant said that he was not aware that he was doing anything wrong. The inspector said that it was a well-known fact per sons were going about the streets selling prints of the most disgusting kind. Mr. TaAmt.—Bring such persons before me, and I shall have no hesitation in punishing them severely. The Magistrate then discharged the defendant, and recom nsended him to be cautious what he was about. His box of prints were then delivered up to him. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.)

George Earl of Mountnorris, late of Arley Castle, in the county of Staf ford, have just been proved in the Prerogative Court by Arthur L. M'Leod, Esq. (the nephew), and E. R. Nicholas, Esq. (his Lordship's solicitor), the executors. His Lordship gives an annuity of 3001. per annum to his sister Lady Arabella M'Leod ; to bis nephew John M'Leod, 1,0001. ; to his nephew Edward M'Leod, 1,0001.; but this last legacy (to Edward M'Leod) is revoked by a codicil ' • and to his ni ece Mi ss M'L eo d, 1,000 4 ; to one of the alleged illegitimate children of his late sen (Vis count Valentia) 1,0004, and to two others 5001. each ; to the Rev. J. Allen, Rector of Arley, 5004 ; to his wife, 200/. ; and legacies to two of their children. By a codocil he directs that a sum not exceeding 10,000/. be laid out in the improvement of Arley Castle, which, together with the collections of paintings, statues, anti quities, &c., it contains, are to descend as " heir looms," an inventory of them being first made in order that the collection may remain undisturbed. He also gives one year's wages to his servants above what may be due to them. He likewise bequeaths a legacy to Arthur L. M'Leod, his executor ; and, after many trifling legacies, disposes of the residue of his property amongst various branches of his family. The personal property is sworn under 10,0001, but this is an unimportant item compared with the value of his large estates in Staffordshire and the adjoining counties. The will is of extreme length and dated 1841. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) EAT IV/.4.R.xisTs.

COLONIAL St:GAIL—In the market for British Plantation a fair business has been done, about 550 hhds having been sold (inclusive of those by auction) at previous prices. The public sales have contained 283 casks 161 barrels St. Lucia, 821 bags Bengal, 500 bags Madras, and 100 casks Madras Molasses. The St. Lucia went off without spirit, and only about one-half found buyers at 54s to 61s for good brown to very good yellow, being about the previous value. All the Bengal and part of the Madras, sold, the former at 58s to 70s for fine soft to very fine strong chrystalised yellow, and the latter at 42s to 46s for very low dark to mid brown, being for the Madras comparatively cheap, and the Bengal about former prices. The Molasses were taken in at 16s. The quantity of British Plantation landed last week at the East and West India Docks was 360 hhds 52 tierces 72 barrels, and there were taken for home consumption 1,363 hhd 250 tierces 250 barrels. The stock in the same places is 12,149 hhds 1,812 tierces 1,838 barrels.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton market, at Liverpool, was dull yesterday. Sales about 3,500 bales, including 500 American for export. Prices were rather in favour of buyers. Sales, 200 Egyptian, at 6-0 to 8d ; 50 Maranham, at 51d to sid ; 150 Pernam, at sid to 6d ; 300 Surat, at 3d to 3id ; and the rest American, at 3kd to 52d. There was an active market for Shares, at firm rates :—Birmingham and Gloucester, 110 ; Bristol and Gloucester, 53i ; Cale donian, 4 ; Chester and, Birkenhead, 34 ; Chester and Holyhead, ; Dublin and Cashel, ; Grand Junction, 215 ; Great Western, Fifths, 261 ; Liverpo o l an d Man chester, New, 341 ; London and York, 5i ; Manchester and Birmingham, 52 ; Manchester, Bolton, and Bury, 118 ; Manchester and Leeds, 123 ; Ditto, Half, 524 ; Midland Counties, 1061 ; Sheffield and Manchester, 97 ; Lyons and Avignon, 45s ; Paris and Lyons, 575. There are Cape of Good Hope papers at the North and South American Coffee-House to the 10th of July, and from Graham's Town to the end of the same month. It is very satisfactory to find that the coasting trade of the colony was on the increase. At Port Natal there had been a considerable augumentation of exports, but in the imposts some diminution was ob servable. The abolition of port charges in the colony, it was expected, would bring a vast addition to the import trade. The Graham's Town Journal states that the Kafirs had recommenced their depredations in the most daring manner. Many of the farmers had had portions of their cattle stolen. Even the missionaries were not now exempted from losses of their stock. An ordinance had been issued by Governor Sir Peregrine Maitland, with the consent of the Legislative Council, for applying a sum not exceeding 172,179 L odd, for the service of the year 1815. From Fort Beaufort we learn that the Kafir chief, Botman, had been captured and imprisoned by .or der of the authorities, and that 300 of the tribe had nearly succeeded in taking Major Lamont of the 91st regiment. His preservation - was owing to the fleet ness of his horse. There was some further par ticulars given from Port Elizabeth of the damage done to the Repulse East Indiaman. The barque, Prince of Waterloo, stood by the Repulse, and assisted her into harbour. The damaged vessel was under repair. About 300 tons of her cargo were thrown overboard. Her decks were almost cleared. The cargo consisted of 3,000 bags of rice, 3,000 bales of jute, 2,000 bags of sugar, 250 hhds. of rum, 2,000 bags of saltpetre, &c. Most of the cargo was injured. There were about twenty-five British ships in harbour at Table Bay. The English Securities have to-day been quiet again, but still there is rather more doing than yesterday. Consuls for immediate transfer have been 991 t, but for time, 991 to par; the conclusion of peace between France and Morocco having sent them up. Exchequer Bills have been at 74s premium; and. India Bonds at 92s prem. East India Stock is worth 284 tcr2B3i. Spanish Stock continues rather flat, the Five per Cents. being 24 to k ' and- the_ _Three per Cents. 34i.
