LONDON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBHR 25 indo. awkwardly. We admit that the prejudices or opinions of the public are not to be rudely shocked by any writer on any subject, but a want of skill in authorcraft is neither a 'moral nor an indict• able offence. In all that the Dispatch has said about Royalty, the Times and the rest of the Tory Journals know that it has ex pressed in popular terms a philosophic theory of the government of society ; it may be false, or it may' be true, but such a theory has been very widely taught, and a man is not to be hunted down like a wild beast for expounding in an English newspaper the doctrines of PALEY and the practices of the United States. So again with the remarks quoted from the Dispatch on the subject of religion, the writer, as far as we see, always speaks of Christianity as it is in England. Now, with all deference to Churchmen, we contend it cannot be a crime—as it is admitted that gross and flagrant abuses exis t in the Church- - --to assert that Church Chris- tianity is wholly at variance with religion. If it he a crime to entertain End' a belief, we avow it. Nay, we will boldly assert that the conduct of the priesthood, perpetually hunting afte r worldly honours and wealth at the expense of all ►he charities of life and even of common honesty, has done more injury to morality and religion than all the writings of all the infidels who ever put pen to paper. What did the Bishop of LONDON say of the priesthood in the House of Lords last Session ? Why, that they could be got to sign any petition about the Church, recommended l;y•the Archdeacon and the Bishop. What did their own petition about the Liturgy say ? That they did not approve of all which they are obliged to read and teach, and which they have sworn to observe. It is the conduct of the professors and teachers of Chris tianity which has made very staunch Christians say that the Church of England " kills more souls than she saves." Such a sentiment is coarsely and continually expressed in the Dispatch, when the writer condemns the Christian religion in England. It suits the priest party, how ever, to cut out of the Dispatch merely the abusive expressions, without a single word as to the occasion which called them forth, and so to create an impression against the writer that he is a causeless, heartless abuser of the whole of Christianity—of all that is beautiful and good in it—as well as all the corruptions of the English priesthood. The conduct of the Tories is as vilely dis- honest as the false testimony we have already con victed them of having borne. In fact their con duct is virtually false testimony ; it is that of a Jesuit, not of an open-hearted honest Englishman. It may be a part of the truth, but it is not the whole truth ; not such truth as even rogues tell in a Court of Justice, and as honest men tell on all occasions. The whole of the extracts from the Dispatch which have been published, whether they have appeared originally in the Times or in the denunciation in the name of the Livery, have been made with a view of in flicting an injury. They have not been made to enable the Livery to pass an honest and a calm judgment, but to lead them astray. The purpose and the execution are alike dishonest. The Tories seek a base end by immoral means. It may be said, perhaps, that, entertaining such opinions as are expressed in the Dispatch, Mr. Al derman HARMER has no right to seek for the ho nours of the Magistracy. But Mr. Alderman HARMER does not entertain such opinions; and if le did, why should he nut, when he has served his fellow•citiaens faithfully for many years, ask his due reward at their hands ? It is not for Alderman HARMER that we are solicitous, but for the public, who will be seriously injured if they adopt the prin ciple of withholding those honours which are pro perly destined to reward good conduct on account of speculative religious and political opinions. It is the boast of Mr. SINCLAIR, the Secretary of the National Society, that the Government and the Priesthood have now come to a common under standing on the subject of National Education. Whether it be so or not, the Priesthood give it out that the Government have come into their views, and are to aid them in subjugating the minds and hearts of the people. We hope it is not so, and yet it seems so much in accordance with past prac tices, that we fear there is some truth in the asser- tion. Our statesmen may well be alarmed, we admit, by a great movement of the public mind, which does not originate from them, and appears to defy their control. Under the influence of that alarm they may very naturally look for help to those spiritual contrivances which have for their object to drill mankind into patience and obedience under particular systems, and have long been accredited amongst nations. The clergy have proclaimed aloud that all kinds of political and social disorders spring from their own want of power ; and our statesmen, having no cure for the alarming disease of an utter separation of the people from their rulers, may have been and are willing to correct what they deem wrong by strengthening the hands of the priesthood. We may perhaps be mistaken, but we think the silence of the two Ministerial newspapers on the election of Mr. HARMER, is an elucidation of such an alliance. Is a Liberal to be silently sacrificed, that the Bishop of LONDON may be propitiated ? They are very short-sighted politicians who suppose that society is either to be governed o r controlled by any such means. All laws and re gulations must have a close connection with the wants and knowledge of the people. At present they want bread, want room, want physical comforts and enjoyments. Will establishing more churches supply them ? Will increasing the number of opulent clergy teach them contentment ? We answer, No. They are already aware of what the clergy can do for them. They have experienced that through many years. They know pretty well, too, what they can do for themselves ; and whatever a few prim Oxford students, like Mr. GLADSTONE, may say, or a few Bishops may preach, the knowledge of the people is as completely opposed to the renewed and extended do minion of the priesthood as are the wants of so- Those statemen, therefore, be they Whigs or Tories, who expect to strengthen their power and model society according to a plan of their own, by the help of the Church and of laws, will be egregiously mistaken. The attempt, supposing it to be made, will supply a proof of want of saga city and want of skill to appreciate the present circumstances of mankind, and will sink state-craft faster and deeper in public estimation. Unobserving persons take hold of this matter at the wrong end, and suppose that regulations make society, instead of society making regulations. Look at it as a whole, take it not only as it now exists, but as it existed—waxing and seldom wan ing, through all past times ; see the extent of its commerce, its literature, its science, its va ried industry ; see how they continually grow and alter, without being either fostered, pro• tested, or dictated by either the State or the Church, and then probably the conviction will be attained that neither now, nor in any past time, was the progress of society, or its happiness, much de pendent on the guiding care of either. If, then, our present ru l ers suppose t hat they can give society a new phasi s by i ncreas i n g t h e powers of the Church, cietv. if they fancy that they can by any such means put an end to want, and change conviction the growth of much experience, they will only convince the world that they have learnt much less than the people they essay to govern. Fur such an end it is not worth while to sacrifice party consistency and the approbation of the people, which those who cannot attain it stig matize as popularity. —glow When we condemn the conduct of the Horse Guards and the Earl of CARDIGAN, the former for listening to backbiting stories, and the latter for carrying them, and indulging in wanton impertinence, we cannot believe that such conduct would have got to such a height, or been continued so long, had the junior or subaltern officers always shown a proper spirit, and resented such unjustifiable and ungentlemanly proceedings. No doubt there has always been found in the army, as elsewhere, young men who have relied more on flattering their supe riors, and on doing their dirty work, than on their own merits for success in the service, and the ser vlity of such persons has encouraged that arrogance in Colonels and in Generals, of which the army now begins to complain. In our opinion, Colonel the Earl of CARDIGAN, who, at the mess-table, is merely, we believe, one of the mess, had no right or authority to send the mes sage he sent, or any such message, to Captain REY NOLBS. If he had no right to send it, we can con ceive no j ustification for the officer who carried it. For messages the Colonels have their orderlies, and we were not before aware that Captains performed such office's. Still less were we aware that they would condescend to bear insulting messages, which no gentleman ought silently and submissively to re ceive. If Colonel the Earl of CARDIGAN had not found a willing agent, he would have been obliged to deliver his impertinence himself ; and then he would probably at once have received such a reply, as would have prevented him troubling the Horse Guards with a partial statement. At length the friends of Mr. Alderman HA R MER are beginning to stir themselves. A meeting, we perceive by a❑ advertisement in our paper, has been called for this evening at the London Coffee- House, which, we have no doubt, will be numerously attended. The independent members of the Livery will hasten to embrace the opportunity of testifying to Mr. HARMER that they are not to be deterred by threats, or deluded by promises, from support ing their oldest and longest proved friends. A few days ago the Times took under its patronage a new mode of carrying on warfare, which is to annihilate a fleet at a great distance, and render wholly unavailable that skill which, as we showed, is the source of Great Britain's maritime su periority. We observed then that this wonderful in ventor ought to be hanged as soon as possible, if all was true that the Times said of him, and if the ordinary policy of States was worthy of the least approbation. Perhaps we might add that the Editor of the Times, as a particeps criminis, ought to dangle on the same string ; particularly as the wonderful and self-denying patriot whose cause it espoused, is said, by a provincial paper, to have largely profited by the puffs of the 'limes, and made money of the invention. He has sold it, so goes the report, to the foreigner. For his gains the Times is answerable, partly responsible for any in jury which may therefrom accrue to the country. This morning the Times has gone on a different tack, and with much nautical eloquence about " a mooring chain, which links together the shores of opposite hemispheres," and about a " floating bridge, securing the peaceful and profit able intercourse of their inhabitants"—which two figures make a navy at once a thing half buried in the mud, intended to hold a ship in one spot, and the thing it holds floating buoyant on the ocean,—the Times this morning has gone on a different tack, and has talked very learnedly and very terrifically about the great difficulty of procuring seamen for our ships. But why should it be anxious for seamen when it pos sesses a secret, which is to render their services un available ? Or, if that secret be sold to another State, is it not cruel in the Times to stimulate the public into providing more seamen, and more ships, to be sunk and annihilated by the newly-invented lightning, without a possibility of helping themselves? If we were not aware of afar better and more enduring reason why our ships cannot get seamen than the hard work on board them—a reason which demon strates, not the wickedness (for that was before known), but the extreme and glaring folly of injus tice, we should be induced to believe that the fearful inventions talked of by the Times had de terred men from exposing themselves to be blown to atoms with out help or rescue. But the Times knows that there exists such a reason, for it was formerly assiduous and eloquent in denouncing the depraved system by which our fleet was manned. It has now, however, taken up a different view, and for the purpose of hitting the present Ministry makes, this morning, the follow ing notoriously incorrect I - Iris-statement : " Alter lavishing her treasures upon every region of the earth, and mixing her best blood with the waters of every ocean, England, by the help of Providence, possessed herself of both the above great prizes —(A fleet of unrivalled strength, and a system Joe giving sta bility to such preponderance). She had acquired the most formidable fleet that ever existed in the world, and had established and matured a systenzfor the sup port of it unequalled by anything in the records of prac tical administi a lion." ......_ ____ It is not only unequalled, according to the Times, but calculated to give stability to our maritime preponderance. We find this asserted in the Times, which some few months back copied Captain MA RRYAT'S account of the habitual desertion of our seamen to the United States, and which contained the records of the destruction of the prestige of our naval superiority in the capture of our frigates by the Americans before the close of last war. We find that in the Times, which, in common with every other liberal and intelligent Journal, has long and continually denounced the favouritism and patronage practised in the govern ment of the navy, by which valuable and deserving officers were disgusted with the service, and driven from.it, and by which commissions, giving them an nuities or pensions, were bestowed on the scions of the aristocracy. In another part of the Times it is asked, " What are the grandest men-of-war in our dock yards but torpid masses of wood and copper with out tars to animate and move them ?" The Times is well aware, therefore, that seamen are the soul of our naval greatness, and yet it has now the scan dalous audacity to praise the barbarous and matured system of impressment as unequa ll system ed for securing didand our naval preponderance. rr r it still does, by its consequences, drive our sea men to America, and prohibits them, by its terrors, from entering our ships. If the Times does not mean by the language we have quoted the barbarous system so long the disgrace of England, and whicilatis doesu ditestirnoeyainng?herlfmai-t ma ritime supremacy, w mean that, can any writer sink lower than to be come the apologist of that cut-throat, man-stealing the ing system, after having for y ears denounced it, merely for the purpose of raising a n argument against MINT() Board ? Let the public judge. At the same time we are not the apologists of that Board. Till more rational means are taken to ensure the free and voluntary services of seamen , not only I now, but at all future times, beginning by a solemn condemnation of the scoundrel man stealing practices of impressment, we shall hold the MINTo Board, and every other Beard of Admiralty, to be regardless alike of their duty to humanity and to the naval supremacy of Great Britain. To b e d ura bl e t h at must be founckd on justice, and justice is doubly recommended when it begins. at home. The following news from Spain has greatly sur prised us ; it i s cop i e d f rom t h e P ar i s j ourna ls of Wednesday. W e h a d h ear d t h at Q ueen CHRIS TINA, when in a pet at B arce l ona, t h reatene d to take refuge in France ; but it never occurred to us that King Louts PHILIPPE could have sanctioned such a proceeding, as he must have known that once out of Spain the REGENT would never Le suffered to to-enter it as the head of the Govern ment. That the Camarilla has been supported in all its intrigues against the Constitutionalists by the countenance of the French Court is known to everybody ; but that so sagacious a Prince as Louis PFULIPPE would prepare for re-enacting the libetticide tragedy performed by France ; at the instance of the fe e bl e and despotical FERDINAND VII., in the present state of public feeling in France and England, is an idea which we refused to entertain for an instant. And yet intimations to this effect must have reached the REGENT from some quarter in correspondence with the Tuileries. Fortunately, however, for the REGENT, Sir ARTHUR ASTON, the British Ambassador, did not conceal from her MAJESTY that to abandon the kingdom would deprive her of the sympathy of the British Government, which was only pledged to support her MAJESTY while representing the Go vernment of Constitutional Spain. His Excel lency, moreover, gave the REGENT to understand that the British Government regarded the Munici palities Bill, passed by the present Cones, as sub versive of the Constitution ; and stronOy recom mended to her an adoption of the counsels of ESPARTERO and the Junta. Nor was this all. Seeing from the firm conduct of the Junta and the obstinacy of the REGENT that affairs were hasten ing to a crisis in which the Throne might be pe rifled, the British Ambassador left Madrid for Va lencia on the 13th inst, to make a last effort to per suade the QUEEN to listen to the salutary advice of General ESPARTERO. What follows is known to our readers—EsPAßTEßO's appointment to the Presidency of the Council having appeared in The Sun of yesterday. The following is the news al luded to, as we find it in Wednesday's papers : A private letter from Madrid of the 15th, gives the following information :—" It is reported in the best in formed circles, that Louis Philippe would have Queen Christina and her two daughters leave Spain. I am just informed that despatches have been intercepted, which decidedly referred to . this subject. But the Juntas, who are vigilant, have taken the most energetic measures ; tey . certainly do not wish to oppose the departure of Maria Christina de Bourbon, but they do not wish that Spain should be thrown into con fusion, parties divided, and civil war inevitably kindled by carrying away the young Isabella and her sister. England has engaged to second us to hinder it ; and it is very probable that the principal object of the depar ture of the British Ambassador is to see that these pro jects of Louis are defeated." We find the following article to the same effect in the Memorial Bordelais, of the 21st.— It was reported at Bayonne, on the 19th, that Queen Christina and her two daughters were to em bark at Valencia, on board a Franch vessel, which was to convoy them to Bilboa. In our opinion, this would be equivalent to exciting a new civil war in that un happy country ; it is even said, that the journeys of M. de Miraflores and of the Marchioness of Santa Cruz had some connection with 'this project." The Madrid Journals of the 16th say, that most of the towns in Andalusia had followed the example of the capital.—Le Commerce. At Toulon, Admiral Latande had been released from quarantine, and was to leave for Paris on the 22d inst. It was reported in Paris yesterday, that the French Levant mail, due at Marseilles on Monday last, had arrived with the intelligence of the capture of Beyrout by Commodore Napier, and the commencement of the blockade of Egypt. The capture of Beyrout was not credited, The Madrid Journals received are of the 17th inst. In the Gazette of that date we find a De cree of the Junta of the capital, ordering the other Juntas to arrest the late Ministers, EVARISTE PEREZ DE CAETRO, I.ORENZo A nnAzOLA, RAMON SANTILLAN, SERAFIN MARIA 'DE SOTO, COUnt DE CLONARD, AGUSTIN Alt- MENDARIZ, and JUAN DE DIOS SOTELO, for hav ing advised the QUEEN to sanction the Ayuntami entos Law. This Decree is dated the sth inst., and is followed by the answers received from dif ferent Juntas promising compliance therewith. The following article from the Madrid Gazelle of the 16th inst. is in answer to some severe strictures on the anarchical state of Spain which appeared in the Presse, the Journal des Dehats, and the Constitutionnel:— Now that the political horizon is somewhat cleare from the mist in which it was enveloped—now that the powerful voice of the conqueror of Luchana and Mo rella has dissipated so many illusions, and baffled so many guilty designs—it appears to us both opportune and seasonable to examine into some of the probable consequences of the memorable events of these latter days. We shall limit ourselves for to-day by foreseeing in what manner the manifestation of the Ist September, and those of the provinces, which have been the echo of that of the capital, will be judged by hbcral Europe. When once the opinion is rivetted by impartial recitals, it will be promptly known that Madrid never wished to lower the dignity of the Throne ; that a whole nation rose like one man to exact an observance of the funda mental law, and nothing else ; that in the midst of the natural effervescence of the passions not a drop of blood has been shed, and no excitement to revenge, no hatred to gratify, and no revenge which has been so long suppressed. It will be known that the unani mous voice of the people, from Guadalquivir to the Tor mes,fi am Manzanares to the Tagus, and front Guadala. viar to the Ebro, has been the Constitution 0f1837, and the constitutional Queen Isabella 11. ! That harmony of sentiment, that unity of object and plan, that gran diose spectacle of the most admirable order, given by those very persons who w ere declared to 1,„ 1 tile most inveterate enemies of th e p eo p le, will a ssume of more determined tune to Europ e than th e voice 0 anger and deception, by justify in g our int entions and desires, and will reveal , in short , t hose w ho arc the re volutionary ones, those who are t he instigators of revolutions by arbitrary acts, or those who, urged on by them, put them in force. The manifests. being tion of 1840 will certainly find as much echo in the true a ppear in their eyes as when French people as in the English ; the one and the other will admire with what facility we obtained that which our homes against an aggression was conquered at Paris in 1830, at the price of so much blood ; the ono and the other will admire our greatness principle ;th e ir precau tions and generosity, proverbial in the Spanish cha we look G i e f rmany, we r w a a cte w r e , re an d d ef w en e di s a h g all contrary to all law and to should redoublesocial if t to t a h ea observe a o of free eigi a m Europe, aad for the cause of liberty is if r a a t a l: v a o e r Portugal, u s look i g a l a l i the same everywhere, and meets in every heart equal sympathy. W e shall not also be surprised 'if the bel i eve , and our opinion is confirmed to prevent notions spreading which arc in the bud in other c ountries, and which make them tremble for the stability of the thrones which do not repose on Northern sentiments, the principle of the liberty of the people. In respect by the testimony of the . invincible Duke de la Vittoria, that the firm, frank, and open attitude of the Spanish people will impose respect on those who would make us the sport of their perfidiou s to ourselves we designs ; we be lieve that it will increase, if possible, the fame of our valour and virtues ; and we entertain the deepest con viction that the natural consequences of the manifesta tions of September Ist will be to inspire respect every where for our independence, and to restore to Spain the place which so j ustly belongs t th o her amongst the great nations of t 122 2.a.....7.40 The following intelligence from Constantinople, from the Augsburg Gazette, is of a date one day later than the correspondence direct from the Turkish capital received this morning. It appears from the private letters, that MEHEMET ALr's refusal of the ultimatum of the Four Powers did not in the least surprise either the SULTAN or his Ministers. The latest ailvices from Persia are of the 14th August. The SHAII was then at Hamadan with his army, but so ill with the gout as to be unable to quit his tent. That most high, most potent, and most sage monarch, OTHO of Greece, had sent an Ambas sador to the Porte with a sword in one hand, and a commercial treaty in the other, with or d ers to R Es- CH ID PACIIA to take his choice. The Mus:ul man politely declined both, as well as all recogni tion of the person of the bearer ; so to avoid an acquaintance with a Turkish prison, the warlike Greek was constrained to put himself under the protection of the French Ambassador. CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 3.—Extraordinary diplo matic activity is observed here. Conferences upon conferences are held. The Ambassadors of the Five Powers meet alone almost every day; to watch over the interests of the European States in the East ; and on the other hand, there are frequent consultations in which Redschid Paella takes part either at Lord Pon sonby's, or at the Porte itself. In one of the European conferences the question was discussed, whether in the present state affair the Consuls of the Four Powers shall be recalled from Alexandria. It was decided that they should remain there for the present, but that, meantime, instructions should be given them to leave Egypt if they should judge it proper on any occasion, however trifling, if it arose from Mehemet Ali's per verseness in his conduct towards them. But as Me hemet Ali has refused to comply with their proposal to confer with him on the alarming state of things, they Will no longer act as a body, so that there can he no cellision with them, except individually, so that only the one concerned will have to leave Alex andria. This may be attended with the advantage that will be obtained without eclat, which would other , wise cause the greatest uneasiness to the Europeans re siding in Egypt. The conferences of the European Ministers with the Porte are ,equally imp,rtant ; they all relate to the measures of coercion to be employed against Mehemet Ali. The result of these consulta tions is kept profoundly secret. All that I can learn in the best-informed quarters is only that the Turkish expedition to Syria (about 6,000 men) is to go imme diately from Cyrus to its destination, as the Viceroy has already lost all right to Syria, including the Pachalik of Acre ; that this expedition will be followed immediately by a second much more considerable one, of 14,000 men ; lastly, the Pachas now commanding in Syria, who were all appointed by Mehemet Ali, shall be copfirmrd, in order to break the force of their pos sible resistance, or to facilitate their defection from Me hemet Ali. But an influential voice (of a European Ambassador) is said to have expressed doubts on this last opinion, which induced the others to adjourn the decision of this point to the next conference. Prince Licven has arrived here from St. Petersburgh, with in structions from M. Von Titoff. The news contained in the French Journals of Wednesday was yesterday anticipated by the ex traordinary expresses from Paris. The political atmosphere is still gloomy. From the court to the cabin the cry of war prevails throughout France. The Cons/U:l6mnd says :—" The recruiting depots , as they were in 1830, continue to be completely be sieged, not only by young men, but by old soldiers, eager to enrol themselves as volunteers. During the short time that this enthusiasm has existed, the depot at Paris has inscribed as volunteers a greater number than the whole class of recruits for 1839 for the entire department of the Seine." MILITARY PREPARATIONS.—The number of pieces of field artillery has been ordered by the Minister of War to be increased from 1,000 to 1,600. The store of mus !sets, &c., possessed by Government is very considerable, but steps have been taken to have 500,000 manufactured annually, if necessary. Orders have also been given for the founding of 1,000 rampart cannon, and for making large stores of copper, iron, tin, &c., besides sulphur and saltpetre. Equipages for the waggon train and tha ar tillery are organizing on a very large scale, and pur chases of cloth for the uniforms of the new levies have been made extensively. About 80,000 huts have been r ordered to supply the means of lodging 30,000 soldiers and workmen at Paris, 15,000 men at Metz, 15,000 at Chalons, 15,000 at Befort, and 5,000 at St. Omer, the barrack accommodation now existing not being suffi cient. All the military contingents havo now been called out, and by the end of next month the total force of the army, including old and new levies, will be about 510,000 men. The number of infantry regi ments is to be increased from 88 to 100 ; and the cavalry are to muster 60,000 horses, of which, how ever, 48,000 have to be purchased. The Minister of the Interior has just ordered a new roll to be made out of the National Guurds that can be mobilized. MOVEMENT OF TROOPS. FORTIFICATIONS OF PARIS.--" As there were not sufficient barracks," says the Commerce, " to receive all the troops brought up to Parrs from the camp at Fontainebleau, it became neces sary to quarter them upon the inhabitants at Charenton, St. Maude, Vincennes, and the surrounding communes. To put an end to this annoyance, it is said that a camp is to be formed on the plain of Besons, between St. Denis and St. Germain. All these troops, it is believed, will remain there, not only dering the trial of Prince Louis Bonaparte and his conferates, but until after the remains of tne Emperor Napoleon are deposited at the Invalides.

Information has been sent to Mr. Baker, the coroner, who has appointed this evening for holding the inquest. Ma son, the other sufferer, has almost quite recovered, and will be examined as a witness. Yesterday evening the body of a respectable looking man, apparently between sixty and seventy years of age, was taken from the Serpentine River, Hyde Park. From the situation in which the body was found, it is sup posed that he had thrown himself in. The body had on a brown coat, black waistcoat, and Blucher boots. Nothing was found upon him to show who he was. The body lies at the engine-house awaiting a Coroner's inquest.

MARY, NEWINGTON.—Mr. Slee, the vestry clerk. of St. John, Horslydown, was objected to' by the overseers. He was upon the list for a number of lease hold houses in St. Mary, Newington. The estate pro- duced him above 2001. per annum, and he held the lease for upwards of 63 years. The objection was that each of the houses brought a rent of upwards of 101. a year. Evidence of that fact having been given by the voter, the name was removed from the list. There was nothing else of any importance either in ,his Court or before Sir W. B. Riddell.

Accounts from Palermo, of the Ist of September, state that the commerce in general complain of the now duty of 20 carlins per quintal for the exportation of sulphur, which prevents commercial operations. Since the abolition of the monopoly the price of sulphur may he quoted at 18 tari for first quality, Pi second, and 13 the third per quintal. Adding to the above prices the duty for exportation of tO carlios, the price will be 38, 36, and 35 carlins the quintal ; it must be:ob served that the tari of Sicily is like that of Naples, of the same value. Accounts from the Havannah to the 19th of August state that the dull season of the year had commenced (for business), consequently there was little of interest to communicate, and the arrivals from foreign ports were very few.

He had a sister living somewhere in the Borough, and set out from the Cheshire-cheese public-house in Long-lane, Smithfield, to pay her a visit. The exterior splendour of the gin. palaces so attracted his attention, that he was induced to examine the in terior, and the consequence was that about 11 o'clock at night, having met the prisoner, he offered to treat her with a jaunt, and accordingly they both got into a cab, when, alter a short time he fell intoa state of happy obliviousness. Police constable P 20 stated that at half-past three o'clock this morning he found the prosecutor cud pri soner engaged in a regular pitchel battle on Sno,v-hill. He took them both to the station-house. when the pro secutor said be bad been robbel of 23/ The f,rna.le searcher examined the prisoner and found that sum on her in srold, and a cheque fur 61. 10s.

George Thompson, a young roan of gentlemanly ad dress, and very fashionably attired, was charged with stealing a gold pin. Mr. George Frederick Summers, a tradesman, resid ing in the City, stated that between two and three o'clock this morning he was returning home from Chel sea, when, in passing along Piccadilly he felt himself, so unwell that he was obliged to sit down on the step of a door. In a minute or two afterwards the prisoner crossed over to him from the opposite side of the way, and offered to see him home ; and at the same time, with much apparent kindness, placed his hand on the pro secutor's forehead to support his head, and while doing so, took with his other hand a gold pin from his (the prose cutor's) breast, and put it into his right hand trousers pocket. The prosecutor took no notice. as he felt he was unable to contend with the prisoner if he made any resistance, but kept lii:n in conversation until polico constable No. 132 C division came up, when he in stantly gave him in charge. On searching the prisoner at the station-house, the pin was found in his right hand trousers-pocket. The prisoner said he was much intoxicated at the time, and had not the slightest recollection of what bad been stated. The prisoner's father, a man of very respectable ap pearance, with several friends, attended to speak in his behalf. It appeared that he had often been entrLsted with hundreds, and never before was his honesty called in question. The prosecutor said be did not wish to press the churge. Mr. LONG said there was a clear and strong case of stealing from the person made out against the prisoner, and he should therefore send him for trial. IMPORTANT NEWS FROM MEXICO. (From a Second Edition of the Morning Post.) FALMOUTH, SEPT. 23, 10 P.M. The wind blowing fresh to-day from the south and west, having driven in some outward and homeward bound vessels, and among them the Seagull packet, Lieut. Parsons, Commander, from Mexico, &c., with a freight of upwards of 800,000 dollars. Her dates are from Tampico, July 24 ; Vera Cruz, Aug. 2 ; and the Havannah the 19th following.. The intelligence brought by the Seagull is most important, as well as the most recent, being several days later than that reotived via New York. It appears that the revolu tion which broke out in the capital of Mexico on the 15th July did not spread to any of the neighbouring de partments, and that the Federalist General Urrea had brought over the troops which he had seduced to his interest, and subsequently seized Bustamente (the Pre sident), the Palace, and other public buildings, wherein he fortified himself and his adherents. The instant that General Valencia became aware of what was transpiring he collected the troops faithful to the Government, and commenced operations against the rebels, who had, after two days' detention, per mitted the President to resume his liberty. The war fare continued with great obstinacy on both sides till the 27th, when it terminated by the Federalist faction evacuating the city on the following conditions : Lt. Their lives, previous rank, employments, and pro perty to be guaranteed. 2dly. The Governor-General Valencia to employ his influence with the Government in bringing about a re form of the Constitution. 3tily. All acts committed during the Revolution of the 15th of July to be buried in oblivion. 4thly. Passports to be given to such persons included in this capitulation as may desire to leave the country, even if under prosecution for previous political offences. .sthly. The Federal troops to take up their quarters in such place, and under the command of such of their officers, as Government may appoint. Although many lives were lost, yet, as far as in formation extended, no excesses had been com mitted, and private property was respected. General Bustamente was once more at the head of the executive, but whether any and what changes I might occur it was difficult to foresee, Santa Ana, who on first receipt of the outbreak had marched with a body of hastily-gathered troops to support the Government, on learning the result retraced his steps to the fortress of Perote. As during the revolution of twelve days all transac. tioas in business was suspended, trade was in a very dull state, as might be expected. The following, are the ve!sels anived to-day, besides the Seagull :—The Thomas Daniel, O'Shee, from Bristol, for Cape Coast ; James, Todd, from London, for Hobart Town ; Hem y 'runner, Bissett, from London, for Calcutta ; Micmac, Powell, from Odessa, for orders ; \'olo, Bonden, from Odessa, for orders ; Fulmar, Harrell, from Smyrna, for orders. lOINIAN ISLANDS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Stu—l have perused with some surprise the corres pondence lyqween Lord C. Fitz Roy, Captain Douglas, and Major Shadwell Clerk, inserted by the latter in your paper of the Ist September, and may be allowed to observe that this is truly a curious method of de fending a public officer. Having just received letters from the lonian Islands, I beg leave to furnish you with one additional fact, which may serve as an opportune commentary on Mujor Shadwell Clerk's praises of Sir H. Douglas's adminis tration, and on Captain Douglas's defence of his father's tyrannical proceedings towards the lonians. I regret, for the honour of England, to state, that when Lord J. Rtissell's important despatch of the 4th June last reached the hands of the High Commissioner, Sir H. Douglas, he falsified it, and delivered an extract, so falsified, as an official communication from Lord John Russell to the Chevalier Mustoxides, for the purpose of hurting that gentleman's feelings and impeaching his character and honour. On the arrival, a month afterwards, at Corfu, of a number of " Parliamentary returns of 22d June, 1540, on the lonian States," at the end of which the despatch in question was printed, directed through Mr. Courage, the merchant, to Mr. Mustoxider , the Lord High Com missioner, Sir H. Douglas, tore off from the seventy copies of the Parliamentary returns Lord J. Russell's despatch of the 4th June, 1510, which conceded also four important points to the lonians. He then for warded these returns so mutilated, or rather destroyed, to Mr. Mustoxides ! I subjoin the words of Lord J. Russell's despatch, and those sent to the Chevalier Mustoxides, and leave to you and the public to judge whether such should be the-conduct of an " officer of high rank and distinguished services," as Sir 11. Douglas is called : LoRD J. RUSSELL'S WORDS'SIII 11. DOUGLAS'S FALSIFI IN HIS DISPATCH TO SIR! CATION OF Tills PARA DOUGLAS, OF JUNE GRAPH, AS HAND E D BY HIM 1840.
