From their minute construc tion, and convenient form, deaf persons are enabled to wear them entirely unseen, and they may be inserted and removed with the greatest facility.

In times not long passed, England was the mistress of the ocean, the protectress of the weak, the loe of the aggressor. Does she still wield the trident ? Consider what might ensue from an unforeseen con flict between the French fleet and that of the Allies in the Mediterranean. Be the result as it might, after such mutual destruction, have you the hardiness to deny that Russia, to whose fleet it is said, our Minister has for the second time unlocked the Sound—to whom our given, as fa r as h e cou ld g i ve , th e r i g h t . of l y Constantinople, and consequently the power ovi n e icste n r e o rp f ig has t n o rcing the Dardanelles—that Russia, with her forty-five sail of the line, would not possess that empire ? On what would England's existence then de pend ? On the justice and moderation of Russia ? These arc idle words. How vast the temptation, how trifling the loss incurred by failure, compared with the glorious prize gained by success. The empire and wealth of Great Britain staked on a single throw against a Russian expedition ! Our energies meanwhile paralysed by a revolution in Ireland, by faction and treason at home. Does England still protect the weak ? Bear witness Sweden, Persia, Turkey, Poland ! Are not the Cireas sians now waging an unequal war, in the hope that L eg _ land will once more resume her ancient character ? Was it not her interest as well as her duty to p revent each of these aggressions ? By whom, too, hare these inju ries been perpetr a t e d ?

The following petition was presented to the Common Council on Thursday : " To the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor, Alder men, and Commons, of the City of London, in Common Council assembled,— " The Petition of Thomas Bradfield, of No.B, Ranelagh-grove, Pimlico, Coal Merchant—. " Suowfini,--That you petitioner has presented various petitions to your Honourable Court upon the Coal-trade of London. " That, on the 30th of July last, your petitioner also presented another petition to your HonourableCourt. " That your petitioner has reason to complain, and does complain, that no attention has been paid to either of these petitions. " 1. That the said petitions relate to the gross and manifold abuses in the Coal-trade, and more especially to the mismanagement in respect to the collier ships and the Coal Market. " 2. That, by Act of Parliament, your Honourable Court are directed to make rules and regulations for the good government of the Coal Market, and of all persons therein transacting business. " 3. That no such rules have been made. "4. That, in consequence of what your petitioner cannot but consider neglect on the part of your Honour able Court to make such regulations, regulations have been made by other persons ; which regulations have wholly perverted the just intentions of the Legislature coming into effect. " 5. That the consequence thereof has been, and is great detriment to the public, whom the Act of Parlia ment wag-intended to serve, and whom it did serve, these regulations were made ; and, as it will again serve the public, it' these regulations be set aside by your Honourable Conm_and_the Act of Parliament be fully complied with in all respects. 6. That one of these grievances which is increasing, and with it a further increase in the price of coals, is , that there arc not weighers enough to permit the coals to be delivered from the ships, after their cargoes have beet, sold, as the following statement will show :-- Viz. ships waiting for weighers— MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. (FRIDAY EVENING.) TIMES.—It has become a subject of great interest with all persons holding a stake in Spanish credit to determine in what degree it is likely to be affected by the abdication of the Queen-Regent and the ascendancy of a military chieftain, General E•partero, in the affairs of that country. On the whole, the impression seems to be not against the Duke of Victory, though at the same time apprehension is felt at the probable dis turbances to which this new contest in Spain may give rise, and which would necessarily remove to a more dis tant period all hopes of establishing public credit on surer basis. A vigorous Government, though its vigour might be exercised as much against as in favour of the creditor, seems, nevertheless, to be anticipated wi h some satisfaction, provided such a power could be at once attained without passing through a series of years of anar c hy an d con f us ion. Above all, a hope is expressed that some good might be done by Espartero, provided other persons were joined with him in the Government, a Regency of three, in which a majority of two should have the executive power, being talked of as a state of things likely to prove satisfactory. However, any antici pations of advantage from a settled Government are much counteracted by the natural dislike to change, which is shared in by all those who are holders of public securities ; and while there does not seem to be so much apprehension with regard to the probable acts of Espartero himself, the position assumed by the Juntas is regarded with a suspicious eye, as likely to lead to the most anarchical results. A reference to the quotations for the London and French markets will show that the speculators are still uncertain in their operations, that the fluctuations have been inconsider. able, and that there has been but a partial recovery from the fall consequent on the first intelligence of the Regent's abdication. Were unable to deliver their coals in consequence of being compelled to wait for weighers. " Your petitioner wishes also to call the attention of your Honourable Court to a fact which proves to demonstration that if the Coal -trade in the port of London were put upon a proper footing, the price per ton to the consumers would be greatly reduced, viz. : " That coals (from Derbyshire), of quite equal qua lity to the best Newcastle, have lately been brought by canal to Paddington, and are delivered to the pur chasers at their houses at the price of 28s. per ton, at which price they will remain, while those of similar quality, brought into the port of London by the river Thames, which ought to be much cheaper, are now selling at from 328. upwards. " That the expense of bringing coals by canal, in cluding the amount of duty levied thereon by the Cor poration of London, namely, is. Id. per ton is about double the cost of bringing coals in ships to London, whence it must be apparent to your Honourable Court, and every one who learns the fact, that the charge to the consumer of coals brought into the river is enormous, unjust to them, and, in several respects, injurious to the trade, manufacturers, and consumers of the whole kingdom. " Your petitioner therefore prays that your Honour able Court will take this and his two former petitions into your immediate and most serious consideration, and will take the easy means necessary to remove the griev ances he complains of, and thug permit the inhabitants of this great metropolis to receive ono of the first neces saries of life at. the rate they ought to receive them. And, inasmuch as coals during the winter months, when they are dearest, are only purchased by the poor, and by such persons as are unable to lay in a stock, that your Honourable Court will as well from a sense of humanity as of justice, at once put a stop to these enormous evils which fall most heavily on those who arc unable to bear them. " THOMAS BRADFIELD. "8, Ranelagh-grove, Pimlico, Oct. 2.2." With respect to the late failure of a speculator in public securities, groat complaint is made as to the unequal manner in which the claims of creditors have been provided for. While some are paid in full, and some have recci" 15s. in the pound. it seems that others have been offered no more than 2s. 6d. Although there seems no doubt that the affair will be fully ar ranged, this partiality has caused the greatest dissatis faction. The Consol-market opened buoyantly this morning, and continued firm till the after part of the day, when the news was received of the resignation of the French Ministers, which from the fear that it iiiight produce an unsettled state of things, by bringing contending parties into collision, caused a decline, and some sales, probably grounded on this intelligence, were effected. At the close of business, however, the market assumed a firmer aspect, though there is still a considerable de pression compared with the prices of the morning. There was no great amount of business transacted to-day in the foreign exchanges, and the rates may be considered the same as last post. A remarkable circumstance has occurred in the de. livery of the letters brought by the last arrival from the Cape--the Mary Ann. The mail bag is said to have been landed at Scilly on Thursday. the 15th inst., but the letters were not received in the city till this morn ing. The ship was in dock on Tuesday last. The practice at the Post-office of paying money or ders to none but the payees themselves, on their per sonal application, to which reference was made the other day, has drawn forth another complaint from a correspondent, which shows the inconvenience to which tradesmen are subjected by having to leave their busi ness to receive trifling amounts. He believes that in many instances the parties would rather leave the sums altogether than undergo the inconvenience of re ceiving them under the present system, which would cause an increase to the coffers of the Post-office, and be a premium to defective management. The orders that he sent to the Post-office were crossed with his name, and, as the person there cannot be supposed to imposture could the applicants, it is hard to see what could be prevented by this singular species of caution. At all events, it seems strange that while the mere pre sentation of a check at a banker's entitles the bearer to receive an amount, however large, such difficulty should be thrown in the way of receiving a few shillings at the Post-office. POST.—The fluctuations in the English Funds were of some importance to-day. Purchases were made in the course of the morning by some of the leading brokers, and these, it is understood, were carried to a very large extent, Consols being quoted, shortly af ter the opening, as high u 871. Reports of various I'4l • .. :" • j,. : t mar -e , e effect of which was to bring down the quotation to 87i. It was stated, among other things, that news of the British fords in the Levant haw ! ing suffered in some enterprise or another against the Riche had been received, and the operations of a party who are known to be usually in posses sion of the pigeon intelligence, " the Boulogne party," as they arc called, seemed to give counte nance to the rumour. A reaction of per cent. oc curred before the termination of the business. It was the last transfer day of the week, and the bulls began eventually to suspect, as they were, perhaps, quite jus tified in doing, that there was in reality nothing what ever to justify the show of confidence made by their opponents. It was pretended that the news, said to have been received of the failure of the English squa dron, in a recent operation, would be confirmed by late editions of the journals ; but, up to the hour of our writing, no authentic communication upon the subject had appeartd. A change is the French Ministry, the effect of which was to exclude M. Thiers, was likewise reported to live taken place, hut no credence was given to the statement. We mentioned a few weeks since the failure, for a large amount, of a speculator of the Hebrew connec tion, and we did so with great reluctance on account of the high character of the individual referred to. Since then a considerable advance has, we are happy to hear, been made towards a liquidation of his liabilities. Several of the creditors have, it appears, been paid as much as fifteen shillings in the pound of the respective claims for differences arising upon some of the late I heavy accounts. Others there are, however, who com plain that they have, thus far, been overlooked, and they are naturally apprehensive lest the intention should be to place them on a less favourable footing. This we cannot for a moment believe. The defaulter is a man in whom we have every faith. He is a per son of the highest honour, and we are very sure that he will meet all his engagements with unflinching integrity. .rstty of Lloyd's, dated t The Russian fl,.. e t, . in b fe.ri ba fit : ch.

CHRONICLE.—In consequence of the favourable intelligence said to have been received by the French Government in its despatches from Alexandria of the 3d instant, the English Funds opened with firmness this morning at 87f to f, and some large purchases having been made by leading capitalists, besides 50,0001. by the Bank broker, prices rapidly advanced to 871 buyers, from which they receded to 87f, at which quo tation they stood for some time ; but large sales having been effected at this quotation, the markets suddenly gave way to S7i to at whiob they closed. Exche quer Bills continue at par to 2s. prem. Bank Stock has improved 1f per cent., being quoted 160} to 1611. Various rumours have been circulated to account for this sudden depression in Consols. One thing seems certain, that an express had been received bringing a fall in the French Rentes, and an impor tant event is understood to have takes place in Paris. It was also stated in well-informed quar ters, that the reply of the English Cabinet to the note of M. There expressed a determination to adhere strictly to the execution of the treaty. Al though we have hitherto paid no attention to the ru moured movements of the Russian fleet in the Baltic, further than to express our utter unbelief of the re ports in question, we have received the subjoined in telligence from so respectable a channel connected with the Russian trade, that we feel called upon to give it insertion : '" The Russian fleet, consisting of twenty-throe sail, nine of the line, and the rest frigates, sails to-morrow, part for Copenhagen, and part for Plymouth, to wait events. " St. Pctersburgh, Oct. 13." We understand that the Directors of the Eastern Counties Railway, at their meeting on Tuesday last, unanimously resolved to give up the sum of 2,4001., voted them tbr their services, and to effect other savings in the management, so as, without burdening the Company, to defray the expenaes of some extra im provettients in the line. SUN.—These was a large amount of business to-day in all thd Funded Securities, but scarcely anything was dune in the Unfunded Debt. For immediate transfer Consols realised 871 to 871, and for the Account 87 to 87k. The latest prices were nearly the lowest of the day. Bank Stock got up to 1601 and 1611, and India Stock to 243 and 244. The New Three-and -a- Half per Cents. went as high as 97k, the Reduced Three-and•a• Half per Cents. to 95,i, and the Three per Cent. Reduced to 861. Exchequer Bills remained at par to 2s. premium, and India Bonds at 10s. to 133. discount. The Hebrews appear to be speculating for a rise at present. The Foreign Market was exceedingly dull. Spanish Active Bonds were a shade better, viz. 211* for Mo ney, and 211 to 21* for Time. Portuguese New Five Five per Cents. were at an advance to 32f, Mexican Five per Cents. from 261 to 261, Colombian Six per Cents. at 22 to 221, and Brazilian at 73i. French Five per Cent. Retntes fluctuated from 106 t. to 108 f., but the Three per Cents. were firm at 73t.50e. Dutch PRICE sd. • Syria. The " non-intervention war" was so called, we suppose, because it was a war of the most mischievous intermeddling in the domestic disputes of an independent nation. As a specimen of analagous abuse of language, the "insurrection-war" is so called, because it has failed to produce an insurrection. This, however, was not Lord Palmerston's fault. He did what he could to create one. When he sent Napier to Beyrout he thought he ad only to shower down incendiary proclamations, inte>ti mingled with bursting shells and congreve rockets, oa the coast of Palestine, to kindle through Syria the conflagration of civil war. The "demonstration" has failed, and the Sy rians continue provokingly pacific. The result of the non-intervention war in Spain is the subverted authority of the Regent Christina, whose power, as well as the throne of the " innocent Isabel," it was intended to consolidate. The Regent has fled from her "protec tors "--she has left her infant daughter a hostage among rebels—the greatest rebel of all being that treacherous General of her forces, whom Queen Vic toria, under the advice of Lords Palmerston and Mel bourne, lately decorated with the Order of the Bath. Oh, prostitution of the honours of British knighthood! Espartero's treason was working towards its consum mation when the Ministers of our Queen invested him with the insignia of a Whig ribandman, and the Dake of Sussex bedaubed him with fulsome compliments. To push Christina from her stool of royalty, and raise an old gasconading but fortunate traitor-General to the vacant seat, is the splendid and. happy result which has followed the wicked and wasteful expenditure of British blood and treasure by our Whig rulers in Spain. It was for the professed purpose of inducing British subjects to take up arms fir Christina that our " peace-loving" Ministers made a one-sided suspension of the Foreign Enlistment Act, It was to swell the Christino ranks, and ensure the triumph of the Cliristinos, that the thousands of unfortunate men, the victims of Whig deception and Span i sh - perfidy, who constituted what was called the " British Auxiliary Legion," were transported from the Isle of Dogs to the Cantabrian coast, under the command of Palmerston's picked General—the redoubtable Evans, to perish in gloriously, or return to their native shores, maimed, destitute, and in rags, to complain of ihe dishonesty of our fraudulent ally, and to beg or roil ou the li;ghway tor a livelihood. What tnisery—whaterime—what disgrace to this British arms—what dishonour to their country hare the Whig authors of the Spanish buccaneerng war to answer for But a Court frit.hle, or a dandy diplo matist, like Gailio, " careth for none of these thiogs." Let Melbourne only be able to keep the place of chid' dam e ;, r about the palace, and chief „ester at the. Cloven'e table, and let Pairnerstou continu e to dazzle the world with his diplomacy, and singe his " H erieu earls" with the flames o f "li tt l e wars, " and neithepr the one or the other will feel remorse or shame for any evil or disgrace which their folly or incapacity may inflict upon the country. We who from the beginnin g opposed and denounced the " non-ieterventiou war" in Spain --w e who contended daily, but contended in ain as to any practical effect, that the disputed tide to the throne of Spain was a question totirely for the Spanish people themselves to deternunc--may now claim sonic credit for having foreseen, what the result has proved, that nothing but mischief could flow from the intermeddling policy of our Government. And so will it be with the Eastern question. We have no right whatever to interfere between the Sultan and Mehemet Ali. Their quarrel is no business of ours, nor have we any right to coerce either party. The " propagandism of loyalty," as it has been called, is as bad as the propagandism of revolution. (P Two-and-a-Half per Cents, rose from 49 to 49., owing to an expected amelioration in the existing sys tem of the finances of Holland, under the auspices of the new Sovereign. The Railway Shares were not at all brisk, nor were the quotations firm. Great Western touched 11 to 12i, and the New 4 premium.

Brighton obtained 13,+ to 12i discount, Blackwall 4i to .5 discount, and South Eastern 191 to 18-i discount. Naticnal Pro‘in cial Bank of England were at 14 discount, and Un;•an Bank of London at discount. The Foreign Exchanges were again rather firm. Bills on Paris were taken at 25f. 424 c. to 473-e., on HamburEh at 13. 7i to 4, and on Amsterdam at 12. 2. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS EVENING EDITIONT. FROM TII MOAMAR PAPERS OF THIS DAT. (From the Morning Chronicle.) We have just learned that Sir John Macdonald has repaired to Brighton Barracks (whither the officers in Chichester had been summoned to meet him), in order to read a letter from Lord Hill to the officers of the I Ith Hussars, recommending, that now that justice has had its course, they should forget and forgive the past, and act hereafter as if nothing had happened. This is really a greater insult than any that has }et been offered. To all the complaints of the officers against their Colonel the Horse Guards have hitherto turned a deaf ear. We stop not to inquire into Lord 11111's mu Ives for throwing his shield over the Earl of Cardigan. It may be that Lord Hill felt that he himself was more in fault than Lord Cardigan in intrust.ing a riginat rat to a man whom he had shortly before stigmatised and re moved from a command, and that a prudent regard for his own peace led him to the determination of investing Lord Cardigan with an impunity in which he himseil lied the deepest interest. In this way, Lord Hill, [laving done wrong to the service by subjecting gen tlemen to the command of one who had already proved himself unfit for it, may have made up his mind to a disregard of all the consequences which the experiment might entail on the unfortunate victims of it. Bat be this as it may, the fact is that the officers of the I 1 th were taught by the Horse Guards to abandon all hope of pi oteetion from that quarter—and now, when a gentleman, beloved by all who had the happLess of enjoying his friendship or intimacy, has been goaded into an act of insubordination, and punished by a forfeiture of his commission—when to the harsh sen tence is added a dictum amounting to this (to borrow the expressive language of the Standard)—that " Though an officer be called liar or scoundrel (Lord Cardigan has called his officers liars) —though he be cuffed, kicked, or spit upon—though his wife, sister, or daughter be insulted, he must submit with patience and humility—must gracefully and respectrully salute the aggressor, for all this belongs to the established order of military discipline.' " When insult has been heaped on insult, Lord Hill, deeming the officers sufficiently humbled, comes forward, requesting them to forgive and forget. No, Lord Hill I—the slave blindly obeys—the gentleman alone can forgive and forget. You had your option to treat the officers of the 11th as gentlemen ought to be treated, or to trample on them ; and you have chosen the latter alter native. When the master tells the slave whom he has lashed that he must forget and forgive, the latter feels the injunction as a piece of cruel irony. You have de graded the English officer by the promulgation of a doc trine from which even Mehemet Ali would shrink. Every gentleman in the English army must feel him self lowered in his own estimation by the dictum of the Court-martial. The men whe promulgated a doctrine so unworthy of Englishmen, were strangers " to that subordination of the heart which keeps alive, even in servitude itself, the spirit of an exalted free dom." Lord Hill will learn from the result of this experiment that the business of time-serving has been overdone. Had the members of the Court martial contented themselves with cashiering Captain R. A. Reynolds, the public, however harsh they might have deemed the sentence, might have acquiesced in it. They might even have given the members of the Court-martial credit for reluctantly discharging a duty which they felt to be necessary, however painful—they might have supposed them to sympathise with a brave man, who, after having spent flacon of his best years in the service of his country, beloved by all who approached him, was strips by them of his rank and position, for yielding, in a mo ment of irritation, to a natural feeling of resentment. But when the public saw theca—npt. 6 .esee 3 ,—et sp t ye stri4ter - ' •-- , lug tto satisfaction with which they had executed their task, and seizerg with avidity the occasion to proclaim the excess of their servility—then every manly bosom swelled with indignation at the un worthy spectacle. What was meant for intimidation produced unconquerable disgust. There is as little tact as rood feeling in the conduct of the Court-mar tial. The obsequiousness of their doctrine, so tar from benefiting Lord Hill, has brought him in for a share a! the aversion in which the authors of the doctrine must be held. No, Lord Hill ; your compassion is now too late. It will be deemed either a cruel insult to the brave men to whom eou denied redress, air an attempt to avert the indignation which cannot fail to be dirceted against you. The public know nothing of your instru ments. They will hold you responsible for all that lies taken place. The position of Captain R. A. Reynolds is this day enviable compared with yours. The weight of the sentence will fall on you. To a man of any feel ing, your situation is by no means an enviable one. You will assuredly neither be forgotten nor forgiven. (From the Titan.) We should ill discharge our duty as independent guardians of the public interest, if we were to pass over without notice either the fatal accident which occurred on Saturday last at the terminus of the South-Western Railway, or the proceedings reported in Wednesday's Times as having taken place at the Coroner's inquest held in consequence of that lamentable event. We have no hesitation in saying, that of the numerous cases which have fallen under our notice, in which the lives of our fellow-subjects have been sacrificed or pe rilled through the cupidity and carelessness of Railway Directors and their officials, this is pre-eminently dis tinguished by the most flagrant, the most scandalous, and the most complicated neglect. Without having recourse to any other source of information than the proceedings before the Coroner, we find that, to produce the collision which ter minated in the death of Catherine Andrews, there must have been a concurrence of wilful miscon duct, or gross negligence, in almost every de ' pertinent of the Company's service, through the whole length of the line between Southampton and London. In the first place, the half-past one o'clock train left Southampton for London with a power known to be insufficient at the time of starting. Markland, the driver, when asked to account for his delay in arriving at Vauxhall, answered distinctly, " The cause of our delay was, first, the want of a pilot engine from South ampton. We had fourteen carriages attached." Here, then, we have an admitted instance of the fraudu lent practice exposed in the Time: of Thursday the 15th instant—the Directors entering into an engage ment with the public to perform the journey within a given time, and deliberately and systematically violating that engagement by despatching with a single engine trains which they are perfectly well aware a single engine cannot :punctually convey, The practice is not fraudulent only, it is also most dangerous ; for the subsequent trains h a ve their of starting appointed upon the presumaputdiontbereof punctu ality timesein in those which precede them, every case of very considerable delaycollisiona the m happen, unless arrangements are made for Eater train to pass the earlier on the road further(tothe o r u u-de tention of passengers already to longsi t tiheeur. retarded),. edß But tb e i in the case both trains are kept baekoge case before us, the fraudulenti are Pu n ot confined to one original fault. t o n tampering w T w it i t l i t ' e b il t a u r rn d p iii inuotfeul life engine from Southampton,arriages, which ought to have set out takes four more carriages to full of e p a a t ssen a g s e i r u s g a st t u t k h e e , A uu n ro d doveraad station , and onbet but w. it ou ß t any augments. t w i tnh o t fhs access, power p ion c e ° so f d d s ru g l t Vri and London. i chfiel d, xa e Arriving tI y half a t dis tance between Southampton Winchfield, more than three-quarters of an hour behind time, it was reinforced by an additional engine, w hi c h proved barely sufficient to prevent a further arrear. From this point it must have been perfectly certain that they could not arrive in London more thanes few minutes before the next succeeding train would become due. And i et the engineer and guard, wh o must h ave known that, under - these circumstances, a collision, if not guarded against, was a probable event, continued to loiter at every station, and suffered night to close in w ithout taking even the simple precaution of placing a warning light at the back of their last carriage. The negligence of the Compeny's officers at the several sta tions, between Winchfield anti London especially, was no less extraordinary and inexcusable. Not only did they universally neglect to remind the guard of the earlier train of the duty of placing a light at the back of his last carriage, but they do not appear anywhere to have given notice to Welford, the conductor of the later train, of his dangerous proximity to that which preceded him. (From the Morning Post.) An Evening Newpaper, of which one may fairly say that on not a few subjects it " draws an its imagination for its facts and on its memory for its jokes," assures its readers that the country is on the cr.,: of a great crisis. Here are the ipsissiiiia vcrba in which the astounding in telligence is contained : " The Horse Guards, though fortified by the Mutiny Bill, and all the articles of war, will find these of little avail against the voice of a whole nation. Subseririons will be raised on behalf of the sufferer ; meetings will be held, and the subject will ultimately be forced on the at. tcntion of the Legislature, in a way that will redound little to the credit of Lord Hill, or his protege, Lord Cardigan. Out of evil cometh good. The whole system at the Horse Guards must undergo a scrutiny to which it has not been subjected since the days of the Duke cf York, and means be provided for protecting brave and high-spirited men from treatment that the lowest menial would resent." So, we are to have a sort of mettle because Captain Richard Anthony Reynolds was not asked to an even ing party at Lord Cardigan's. At this rate we promise to distance the French. They, do continue to find out something that looks like a political cause fo: their escapades ; but in the present case no such cause exists. We know this beyond all possibility of doubt, because we have it on the authority of the Globe, which co.nveys the information railer circuitously, and of the Morning Chronicle, where it is given in more express terms. " In eve!), society," says the latter, " no mattur what the political opinions of the parties are, the seukoce of the Court-tnartial is spoken of with absoeute execr..tion." But there is ample proof of this unanitni!y in another form. ; The Sun and the Standard, the illootinglieralaand.the cUil) Sunday Tulres p,,pur is not yet published, to be sure, but its placards are), the Globe and—it we wait till Sunday we &ire say We shall be able to provide our gentle Contemporary with a partner in the Weekly Dispatell-0 these journals, rare in their separate excellence, wonderlul is their comainatiou," are united in the outcry against Lord Cardigan and the late Court-martial.

WO arc induced to think that tlicTe was good foundation for the ground we took, because of the efforts that have been daily, and, we venture to think, trisue ee,sfully, made to di,lrylp us from cur p, sltion. We referred to dates which have not been ia!slied. and we cited events of which the occurrence hAs not been disproved. la the attacks that lave been miide. on the view we took there has been a great deal of noise, but nothing else—in accordance with the prnciplc in pin losophy, that violence of sound is in an exact radii with the body that produces it. To what we have already urged we have noshing to add. No new bets have taken place ; our position has been assail d, incited, but we still hold it though we stand alone—amidst the daily press at all events, though we have still a valuable ally in our old friend with the ri,ine cf good omen, .lolin Bull. We have no choice, therefore, but to leave the matter where it is, and trust to the returning good sense of the public for the ultimate triumph of justice. It is true that for the present the force of numbers is against us ; but, as the Morning Chronicle has lately disco vered, mere numbers arc no criterion of the meritstor demerits of questions or individuals. THE BAYEUX TAPESTRY.—This magnificent piece of work is 227 feet in length by 20 inches in width, is usually kept at the town-hall in Rouen, and is treasured as the must precious relic. It was formerly the theme of some long ana learned dissertations of antiquarian histo rians, amongst whom Montfaucon, perhaps. ranks most conspicuous. During the French Revolution its surren der was demanded for the purpose of covering the guns ; ; fortunately, however, a priest succeeded in concealing it until that storm was overpast. Bonaparte better knew Its value. IC was displayed for some time in Paris, and after wards at some seaport towns. M. Dcnon had the charge of it committed to him by Bonaparte, but it was afterwards restored to Bayeux. It was at the time of the usurper's threatened invasion of our country that so much value was attacac d 0, and so much pains taken to exhibit this roll.

He is one of the finest lookmg men I have ever seen. He is tall, and oostesses great flame. try of form. His features are singularly handsome, aa are lighted up with an intelligence which adds greatly to the pleasing impression they are otherwise calculated to produce. He has a fine dark eye, the effect of which fs heightened by his beautiful eyebrows. The general ex. pression of his countenance is that of a serene, an amiable, and intelligent mind. His compleAjon, seen at a few yard's dista nce — w hi c h i s the distainent which I have seen his Royal Highness —is clear, and indicative of excellent health, On his upper lip he wears every small mustaehie, which, even to an English eye unaccustomed to such things, contributes to the pleasing expression of his countenance. He has an ample well. developed forehead, whic s h be i a s an to greater advantage from the circumstance of hi s I s tir .n e g i hair, which is something between black and auburn, plainly, bet carefully parted on the left side.
