4 VEN IN G EDITION. _~J fc to the Lord Mayor, charged with having attempted to t :hrosv herself over London-bridge. A young fellow who was passing over the bridge at a late hour, saw the defendant endeavouring to get over the parapet, end she would have been off in an instant if he had not caught her by the leg. A police-officer, , who ears , the attempt frustrated, immediately took the swz-etched female into custody. She seemed to be re iheillied to destroy herself, and said it was quite useless to prevent her at that time, as it would be a mere post yonement for a short period. There was. she observed, several ways out of miserable life, and she had chosen the Thames in preference to the Monument, because she was sure drowning was the easiest death. The LOUD MAvon asked whether she was in liquor at the time? Inspector Brake said that she was inebriated upon. - I:.ing brought to the station-house. In her pockett :book there were a vast number of duplicates, the pro duce, as he was given to understand, of gig, and. there were also some prints of a certain description, which roved thee she kept the most abandoned company. Her hastanad and mother were resent during the ex eminatieu. They both said that the inspector was per tly right is what he said about the gig. The wretched irl'e propeseity to it was so intense, that there was, they believed, nothing she would not do to get her guar tern of a night. The husband declared that be had - WO duplicates of articles of domestic use which the lad pledged all for gin. In fact be wee completely heg .gared by the uufortunato creature. The poor mother bore testimony to the truth of the statement of her eon-in-law, who had, she tolenanly de wed, done all that man could do to reclaim his wife. Whatever resolutions of amendment, however, she pre mind to carry into effect, were all destroyed by the in \lend spirits. Every shirt, or in fact stitch, her husband was once maimed of had disappeared, with the excep tion of what he bad upon his back. It deeply grieved the witness to say such dreadful things of her child, but after all that had been done for the girl, without -pro ,lucing any effect, she could not help making flaw ac= Inowledgment. The LOAD MAToa—She was never before a trate before ? The husband—Never, my Lord. We have done all Ire could to hide her vices. _ _ Thc, policeman who apprehended the young woman, he feared, from the manner of the girl, that she we ald carry the threat of self-destruction into effect. The defendant—No ; I shall turn over a new leaf. I shall change my conduct altogether. The husband—l have not the least reliance upon you. The first gin-palace you go into will break your resolution. _ _ The defendant—l shall not go into any. I declare solemnly I will not touch a drop of girl. inspector Brake—You had had a great deal of gin before you were brought to the station-house. The defendant—l acknowledge it. If I had not taken it, I never should have attempted to destroy rny seif ; but I did not know what I was doing—l was mad with gin. The Lords MAYon—I do think there is some chance of her reform, and I would advise her husband to take her home once more. The husband—She has not only pawned all my clutiics, but the very bed. blankets, and sheets, for gin ; natt does To-ar Lordship think that your kind words will cur, her? The whole world would not do it. The LORD MAYOR—WeiI, let her go to her mother, wad commence htr reform there. The mother—Ol course, my Lord, I shall do every thing, I can for her ; but I must say, that I believe it be all useless. The defend.mt—lt will not indeed be useless. De pend upon it that I shall be another woman. 'l'h' Lon') Ma.Tua—Come, I shall place dependence in ion you. Go home with your mother, and your bus !, and will mak• her an allowance for your support, and I . 2;ave no doubt that I shall one of these days hear of yc or completo reformation. QUEEN-SQUARE.

Tti 131tITI6Li *JELIN STEAM SHlP.—Li , utenant TRobercs, IZ.N., the commander of the British Queen rtcaln-ship, bad an interview with Mr. Bdllantinc, the sitiug Magistrate at thg Thames-police Court, with a view of ex:?Lning to the 'Magistrate that neither he nor of the oakera of the ship wore at ali connected w- :.':1 the recent smuggling, and to complain of some ;i.4; that had gone to the world through the medium vi Li-te newsplpers. _ _ _ The paragraph complained of by Captain Roberts was contained in the examination of Lancaster, the glia),.r of the British Queen, who was fined 1001 at thi? Court on Saturday last, an account of which au pe o-ed on Monday. Gaptan Roberts stated to Mr. Banat:ail-10 that, in IlJe report of tbo examination in question, it was set forth that he (the Magistrate), during the inquiry, fregit.atly observed that there most have been a very bad look-out on board the Bihish Qteen, or smuggling on such an extensive scale could not possibly have taken place, or something tanta .rnetm:, to that. Now, as this might ha construed isv4) a charge of neglect of duty on his part, and on the part of his cfficers, he deemed it his duty, in jus i.!•..: to his own character, arid to t:•at of his officers, to .wait upon him to ask him if such au observation was tnade, in order that ho !night enter into an explanation of the affair. Mr. BALLANTINE said that, to the hest of his belief, he (lid not make use of the words attributed to hit!), iult be could not say so with any degree of certainty. lie would confess, however, that when he saw the oh to.rvations in the newspapers, they expressed his scnti me7,l.ts very accurately, whether he used the words or not. Capt.lio Rlherts said, it the Magistrate would allow him to say a few words io explanation, ho was quite sure he would change his opinion. Mr. BALLINTINE expressed his willingnesa to hoar en::thiog Captain Roberts had to say on the subject. rho Captain said that when the British Queen ar rived at New York she was invariably moored along- the quay in such a wanner that her part-holes !eve! with it. She was then enabled to take iu :• fupply of coals without the trouble of hoisting cm o'er the ship's aides; while the vessel waa in sifunt'oa the 14bourers wheeled the coals in at the itad very often were engaged at this the ;ole of the night, so that they had the groatest fa . for smuggling. the contrabaed articles into the ;,ip, in spite of any precautions he might take to pre vcrit it, unless he was to examine personally every whe,elbarrowful of coals that went on board, which was utterly impossible. In addition to this, the tobacco , rehouse was immediately adjacent to where the ship w.ls moored ; and this probably afforded extra oppor tunities for smuggling. Then, again, the enormous inerisous of the ship ought to be taken into considera tio.3, and the total impossibility of a continual look-out b,ing kept of every nook and corner of her ; and also the hurry and bustle they here always in, getting the ; • cargo on board, and arranging other matters. could aasurc the Magistrate that he did all in his power to prevent smuggling being carried or in his ship, and he hoped he would give him credit for sincerity when be said so. Mr. BALLANTINB said he neier for a moment thought that the captain of the British Q ue en cated in the illegal traffic ; he had thought M was the first had instance that a suf f icient degree of caution not bee n exercised by the master and his officers to prevent stnig n 6 ; but, from the explanation given by Cap tain*Roberts, he was q uite sure that ev erything clone that could b e, and he was sure that the directors of efie Transatlantic Steam-packet Company, and the public gencruily, would coincide in that opinion. H© had no doubt, from what had transpired, that there would be very little smuggling carried on in future in the British Unto:. Captain Roberts said he would do all in his power to prevent it. The whole ship's crew had been discharged in consequence of this discovery. Mr. BALLANTINE said be could well understand the difficult situation the commander of a ship like the Queen was placed in, for the machinery and coal rooms afforded facilities for smuggling not to be found in a sailing 'mei. rri(e` Magistrate asked Captain Roberts what dec isi o n the ornrniseioner s of Customs had come to relative to thy ship? /ke Captain said that no decision had yet been come to, but be anticipated that only a small fine would be inflicted, as th e ties must be fully aware that the engineers, fire men , and stokers were the only guilty parties. In the meantime, the loading of the ship had gone on as usual, and her cargo was nearly all in : she I for would leave Blackwall . 0 Southampton on Tuesday T next, at one o'clock, la high character the ship en joyed rendered the Directors of the Company desircus that the affair might be placed in its proper light before the public. Mr. BALLANTINE said he had no doubt that would be done. Captain Roberts then thanked the Magistrat^ and retired. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. MANCHESTER, TUESDAY EVENING. The business this morning was very limited, owing, no dou'it, to the York Meeting being on. Very little was done ; 6 to 4 was in one instance pencilled down against Viceroy for the stakes over Knavesmire to-morrow ; 5 to 2 accepted on Symmetry, and 5 to lon Benjamin. The field will be very confined. The opinion appears to be, that Viceroy will " show ;" if so, the party (Memnon's) will be in the wrong box if he does not win in a canter. Tus Sr. LEGER. —2O to 10 offered on the field; 100 to 20, " bar one." 6to 1 was taken on Gibraltar ; 12 to 1 offered against any other ; 15 to 1 was laid against Cru cifix in two or three instances ; 16 to 1 offered against Lord Westminster's Maroon ; the field against two ; take 1 100 to 80 that either the Marquis's horse or Gen.

Lord Westminster's br f Lampoon walked over PENINSULAR AND ORIENTAL STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY, This Company made an experimental trip yesterday ice their splendid ship the Oriental from Southampton to the Isla of Wight. A. large party started from the London station of the Southampton Railway, at nine o'clock, and arrived at Southampton at twelve. They were then conveyed in a small steamer to the Griextal, which ley some distance from the pier. She then weighed anchor, amidst several discharges of cannon, the colours being at the same time hoisted with great prnmptnes:, and producing a very lively effect. The day was most propitious. There was a cload now and then, but only to heighten the bril liancy of the sun's rays, when he poured out all his ' splendour over water, wood, and laud. Somebody says that spring and summer only exist in England in " Thomeon's Seasons," but however that may he, we can boast of having in perfection what to our fancy is the sweetest season of all—the autumn. If our rxenic beauties do cot arrive so soon at perfection, we have the satisfaction of reflecting that, like some other beauties of ours, they retain their attractions much longer than those of our neighbours. Nobody cou7d yesterday dash along the railroad (which, by the way, gives you just such a glimpse of your favourite objects in landscape as you sometimes catch in a crowded 1 ball-room, where a glance from a face that flits by you, and, as you fancy at the time does you no great harm, sets you dreaming for a week—if you be under twenty five, and not as yet proof against such follies) —and not feel that we can justly pride ourselves on the rich, glowing, mellow, beauties of autumn. This road is particularly picturesque. You run on through a mov ing panorama, in which hill and dale, the wood and the heather, the stately mansion of the noble and the neat brick cottage of the labourer seize on the attention. But, it such were the beauties of the land, what were they to those of the water ? The passage to the Isle of Wight lies through a fairy land. Every body knows Rousseau's delicious description of the effect of mountain scenery in elevating the mind above the petty cares of life, and purifying the heart from all grovelling passions ; but the man who is not thrown into a state of luxurious languor by the scenery along the whole way from Southampton to the Isle of Vilight, may congratulate himself upon not having in his composition •the slightest spark of poetic association. His view is bound as far as the horizon by the " pomp of groves and garniture of woods," with here and there a pretty village nestled in the shore, and his eye ever and anon rests upon some beautiful yacht gliding over " the dark blue sea," with its crew looking leisurely over the side ; and often bearing aloft at the stern the mother of a happy family, who hopes, by a waive of the 1 handkerchief, to communicate to a kindred breast the joy in which her own is steeped. But we almost forget that our business is with this ship alone, and that we have no right to indulge in any trashy sentimentality. Well, then, we have no hesitation in saying that this is one of the most magnificent steam-vessels that ever left our shores. She is 1,670 tons, and of 450 horse power. The spar deck (or upper deck) affords a superb and uninterrupted promenade, 200 feet in length. The gratings occupy little more than the space of a large hatchway, between the mainmast and foremast, and tarpaulins being provided to place over them in bad weather, the passengers have an opportunity of enjoying a dry walk at all times, on the deck below, which is kept clear, as much as possible, of central erections for that purposo. The only building on the spar deck is a neat structure close aft, fronted by a small colonnade of lonic columns- Here there are two commodious smoking rooms, each with windows on three sides, commanding extensive views, and so arranged as not to interfere with the in the centre,helmsman, who o is, s in fact, boxed in, in a comfortable room that his attention cannot b. dis tracted by intercourse with the passengers.

The train returned to town about ten o'clock without the occurrence of the slightest accident to gar the hap.. piness of the day. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THR MORNING PAPER,/ Or THIS PAY. (From the Morning Chronicle.) _ It is distinctly and positively alleged that, during the late poll for a Church-rate at Rochdale, the time fixed for the close of the poll was five o'clock ; that the poll was actually closed at that hour on the first, third, and fourth days of polling ; but that on the second and fifth days it was prolonged till six o'clock, so as to give an unfair advantage to the voters for the rate ; and that the effect, on the fifth and last day, of this departure from the understood time of closing, was to transform a majority against the rate into a majority in favour of the rate. These charges of dishonest con duct against the rector, Dr. Molesworth, have been brought distinctly and publicly ; and in a printed address to his parishioners, in defence of his conduct, they are not denied. What may be done in an Ecclesiastical Court we will not take upon us to say. No civil court, it may safely be affirmed, will give its sanction to the validity of a rate for which a majority has been thus obtained. There will be no opportunity for legal rug-stealing in Rochdale. The trick is too gross. The reverend con federate of Roby and Bradshaw has outwitted himself. He is protected by the police in his march towards the pulpit ; but he will not be protected by them in his ap proach towards the plunder. The Rev. Dr. Moles- I worth declares that he has had to contend with "Social , ists, Chartists, Jacobins, Infidels, and Atheists, tinted on by sectarian jealousy, political rancour, and inflammatory appeals to avarice and to the worst passions of our na ture." A very pleasant account of his own parishioners! But if such be the scabby flock which the holy shep herd has been brought from Canterbury to guide, ought he not at least, in his capacity of president over an election contest, to have set them an example of im partiality and integrity ? To keep the poll open after the appointed time, when his own party was gaining ground, and to close it, provided the opposite party was in progress, was not conduct calculated to convert his Socialist, Chartist, and Jacobin parishioners. The Tory clergy outdo their lay brethren. No Conservative sheriff, or returning officer, would have ventured on so daring an experiment. The most unprincipled lay par tisans have some sense of decency remaining. And although the alliance of a certain class of the clergy has been diligently sought by the Tory party, it the co-operation be not more discreet than in this instance, it may become too embarrassing to be assiduously cul tivated. (From the Times.) "What ought the Church and the People of Scotland to do now ?" is the title of a " new pampnlet on the Principles of the Church . Question," by Dr. Chalmers ; and it must be acknowledged that the Rev. author answers the question which he puts in his title-page rather more distinctly than Mr. Fox Maule answered the pointed and important question by Sir Robert Peel—whether he, the Under Secretary of State, meant to admit that the law was to be enforced or not. Dr. Chalmers says thw are four things to be done—three by the Church, one by the people—viz. 1. " Thefirst thing which in our estimation the Church ought to do is to repeal the veto law." 2. " The second thing which! we think should be done by the Church, after having relinquished the veto, is to fall back upon the call." 3. " The next thing we think proper to be done is, in our appre hension, a more proper work for other hands than for ours—a thing to be done, not so much by the church of Scotland, as by the people of Scotland." Let the people petition Parliament, either for a re peal of the act of Queen Anne, or for the total abo lition of patronage, or for any check on it which they wish to have. 4. The fourth thine is "the dis posal of the refractory ministers in Strathbogie," against whom he recommends the church to proceed to the ex tremity of deposition without delay or hesitation, and against whom the Commission of the General Assem bly proceeded the other day to frame a regular charge or libel, on which the next Assembly, in May, 1841, may proceed. The first part of this pamphlet contains an anxious defence of the course hitherto followed by the Church. This is now of infinitely less moment than the questions of vital importance to the Church which the practical state of things forces on the attention of all, except of her Majesty's Government. We are glad to see that Dr. Chalmers, more emphatically than before, repeats that " the Church came into her present diffi culties not by my advice, but IN OPPOSITION TO IT, " repeating frequently in the course of the pamphlet, that he all along knew that the veto law could not be effectual or constitutionally enforced if it were against the civil law, as he terms it—in other words, against the statute law of the kingdom ; and that he wished, in order to avoid such results as have occurred, to have the sanction of Parliament for the introduction of any such measure: at the meeting in 1833, with the then Solicitor-General of Scotland, Mr. Cock burn, Lord Moncrieff, and others, but gave up his doubts in deference to their authority. (From the Morning Advertiser.) Whilst we are told that the probabilities of a rupture 1 with France arc hourly diminishing, the warlike prepa rations of our neighbours are being carried on with re doubled energy and activity. W e must, therefore, have an eye to facts as well as to words. Diplomatic speeches of a pacific nature, as they cost nothing, may pass for less evidence of sincerity than the expense of arming a million of soldiers, and equipping fifty or a hundred vessels of war. So lone. as the din of armourers' lei:hies shall " give busy note of preparation," we must believe there is some deep-rooted feeling of animosity against England influencing France, which not all the cunning turns of diplomacy, nor the influence of Ministers, can guide or suppress ; since, on every opportunity, however slight, it struggles to demonstrate itself by force. Apart from the occasion which has given rise to the present transient display of bad feeling, this is a phenomenon which deserves a passing observation. The whole Press of England have been unanimous for some weeks past in imputing the sudden warlike hu mour of our neighbours to a small and insignificant portion of the nation--such as the journalists of Paris, or the idlers of the coffee-houses. They have denied that the cry for war was the true voice of France. Every consideration ,founded on the condition of her population led us to believe the soundness of this conclusion, and that the social changes in French so ciety since the termination oh the wars of the empire, ivul totally altered the former characters and conditions of the mass which had made those wars possible. It was believed that the state of property in France, and the enormous proportion of the nation possessed of property, through virtue of the law of equal parti tion—that bulwark of the first revolution against Eu rope and the Bourbons—would have so far effected a change in the military disposition of the people that not a Frenchman would have submitted to be dragged from his private and domestic pursuits for any Go vernment, or any motive whatever, short of invasion. Through the general diffusion of property in France, it was argued, that the bulk of the nation must be the most pacific in Europe, since they had greater motives to be so—greater interests at stake. The despotic Powers, and even England, it was imagined, might raise from their surplus population men without any property or prospect of possessing property, armies with which, as never changing machines without will, and transport able to any quarter of the world, they could maintain a prolonged foreign war so long as their resources lasted. But the case of France was thought to resemble too much that of an immoveable militia to make foreign war popular with them, or in fact, capable of being continued on a large scale beyond a very limited period of time. To our great surprise, however, facts prove the very reverse of all this reasoning. (From the Morning 'Herald.) The agitation about a repeal of the Union, which O'Connell is getting up, is looked upon b y m any per. sons as simply a despicable imposture , dev i se d by the Beggarman with the view of filling his coffers, and keeping the present Ministers in office. That the re peal cry is an imposture of the rankest kind is, un doubtedly, true. This circumstance, however, by n o means proves that the repeal cry will not produce all the results, which those who raise it, aim at. A repeal of the Union between England and Ireland means, undoubtedly, the dismemberment of the British empire --yet, be it recollected, that to a dismember ment of the empire, the whole course of " liberal" policy has, for many years past, tended. Our colonies arc almost universally described by our doctri naires of the " Liberal" school, as expensive isicum brances :—the object of the " Liberals " is, therefore, to get rid, as rapidly as possible, of our colonial empire. Towards the attainment of that object they are pro ceeding with marvellous celerity. The Canadas are in jeopardy. Our West Indian Islands are in an un satisfactory state. Our power in India is becoming less firmly consolidated. Verily the severance of Eng land from her most valuable colonies would appear to be an event not far removed in point of time from the ascendency of " Liberal " principles of Government ! The progress of " Liberalism " would seem to be everywhere followed by the same results. In Ireland, the power of the enemies of England has increased ever since the principles of the old constitution were abandoned by our rulers. In obedience to the dictates of " Liberalism," the Test and Corporation Acts have been repealed—the Roman Catholic Relief Bill passed —the Reform Bill carried—the Municipal Corporation Act foisted upon the country. These, and similar measures, have been agitated for under one unvarying pretext—the necessity that is alleged to exist for " con ciliating" the enemies of our Protestant institutions. But in exact proportion to the spread of the " concilia tory" policy, would seem to be the extension of deeper disaffection amongst the faction, to win which that policy has been adopted. On Tuesday morning an alarming explosion of gunpowder occurred at the resience of Mr. Carthany, a f irewo rk-maker, in Charlotte-street , Somers-town, by which accident the son of Mr. Carthany, a young man 18 years of age, will be deprived of the sight of both eyes, and bis apprentice se injured in the right hand that amputat i on above the wrist must be performed. THE WIG tN MURDER.—The IVigan Gazette gives an account of the apprehension of a man, of the name of Anderton, who is supposedM be the murderer of Coulton, but the evidence appears vcly defective. He was committed on a charge of theft, THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 27, 1110. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. (WEDNESDAY EVENING.) CHRONICLE.—We have just seen a copy of the report of the Finance Minister of Portu , al, presented to the Cortes. It appears by the estimates of the dif ferent departments, that a reduction is effected in the expenditure of $1,107,013 207r5., as follows : rs. Foreign 34,246 000 Marine........ Justice...... Interior... , 265,816 298 War 436,658 120 Finance... 251,000 789 $1,107,913 207 The deficit, after providing for half a dividend of the foreign debt is reduced to 96 contos, but an ex traordinary sum of 540 contos is required to meet the British claims, as arranged by the mission of the Marquis Saldanha, leaving a gross deficit of $1,013,886 137 rs. uncovered, which is about equal to the remaining half of the dividend of the fo reign debt. The Minister of Finance expects that in course of time the revenues of the country, the col lection of arrears, and other resources, will enable the Government to make up this deficiency. In the mean while l ie proposes an amicable arrangement with the foreign creditors, in order to afford time to develops the resourcis of the country, and to do all the justice which their demand. The expressions used by the Minister of Finance in regard to the foreign debt arc as follow : " In the class of general charges are mentioned, as a debt, the dividends and amortizations of tho foreign loans,amounting to i 15.494,110020, being 1i5.2,153,0-19 256 belonging to the period anterior to the Ist of July, 1838, and R 5.4,041,060 764 to the economical year, 1838-1839. There are due two more half-years, which will amount to R 5.2,025,016 666, which, added to the R 5.4,194,110 020 above mentioned, will make the sum of R 5.6,219,126 686, which constitute to-day the ar rears of the foreign debt. It is proper here to observe that if difficult and unavoidable circumstances rendered indispensable an interuption in the payment of this item, which the honour and national pride has never omitted to attend to and recognise it with grati tude, it would be just that the Government, availing themselves of the first opportunity, should offer to our foreign creditors a sensible demonstration of how much they have at heart the satisfaction of the engage ments entered into with them. This act of justice and loyalty will be realized in the present economical year, in which the Government proposes to effect the pay ment of the dividends on the foreign debt to the utmost It may be enabled, without compromising the internal service of the country, and in such a way that the pay ment shall amount to at least one-half of the said divi dend." This budget of the Portuguese Minister of Finance contains various matters of importance to the English creditors of Portugal, and we may perhaps again refer to its contents. HERALD.—Private letters, as well as the Papers from Paris are still much occupied with the scandalous stock-jobbing which has been carrying on to so large an extent there, and which, both in letters and papers is charged with very little.ceremony or chance of misunder standing upon M. Thiers and his immediate friends. The very papers which, without being absolutely the organs of his Government, were yet favourable to him and his policy, are among the most fierce in their ani madversions. The Gazette des Tribuncutx, among others, has a long and biting article on stock-jobbing and circulating false rumours, which it is shown are punish able by the law of France as it now stands, and the penal punishments for which are expressly cited, but not necessary to be rendered here. Without directly naming the individual meant, the Gazette remarks upon the monstrous conduct of the Ministry in leaving uncontradicted for the whole day the im portant news, then asserted to have been received by telegraph, of the commencement of hostile proceedings against each other, by the British and French maritime forces in the Levant, and which with very large sales had the effect of causing a heavy decline in the prices of the French funds to the great profit of the speculators concerned. It was only on the day following that one of the Ministerial organs was permitted to state that no news of the nature so confidently reported the day be fore by those known to be in confidential communica tion generally with one and the leading Member of the Ministry had in reality been received, or anything in the least approaching to it in reality. 'The Gazette emphatically resumes the facts thus :—" We shall not repeat, what is in everybody's mouth—who are the insti gators of these criminal manoeuvres—who those are that profit by them —to what political or family relationships they are indebted for these profits—who and what is lie who, from the hands of one agent de change (stock broker) alone, has received in these latter days 1,164,000 francs (more than 46,0001). of differences." This is tolerably plain speaking. It is known that M. 'riders stands with one agent de change in the relation of son in-law, having married his daughter, and it has always been understood that heretofore they have been deeply concerned together is stock speculations, even if not now. Altogether nothing can be more revolting and scandalous than this sort of unprincipled dealing on the part of public men, and the open and scarcely contra dicted imputation by those accused would seem to be a tacit acknowledgment of the shameless profligacy of public men. As there are in the French Cabinet mem bers of characters tts high and unsullied as of talent worthy to command respect and admiration, it is only surprising they should consent to remain colicagued with those so deservedly the objects of public reprobation. It is not unknown how earnestly desirous the French Monarch is to get rid of his chief Minister, and that he has hitherto been deterred only by the popularity which he has acquired through the support received Prow the leaders of the popular party and the war faction. In allusion to this private letters received from parties in Paris who have until now been warm adhe rents of the Minister and his policy unreservedly express an opinion that be is now rapidly falling into such general discredit through these reported transactions on the Stock Exchange that Louis Philippe still following his inclinations, and that the dismissal of one i fi s m i l il- r d io es d er iffi ve c d ultyin obnoxious member of his Cabinet would now be hailed with 11 if approbation,not impracticable, %s hi ch be fe froms e w [ins, will wait the fitting moment for u he wanting in decision when assuredl popu larity. Of course the king, with his customary wari ness, is arrived. It is difficult action, t h i, 01 a anc a t . ,: e aaurtnc h thed e ei evon,epfi trill proper ip not - Odillon Barrot, the leader of tile strongest who is well-known is called the liberal side, ant esteemed as a man of honourable and irreproachable character both in public and private life, can consent to identify himself and his cause with people so damaged and denounced in public opinion as those openly ac cused of prostituting their official position and facilities to the vile and mercenary purposes of stockjobbing. POST.—A morning contemporary complains, on behalf of the usurers and speculators in Anglo-Spanish certificates, that they cannot procure payment of the certificates endorsed over to them by the mutilated sol di,r, with all the promptitude they anticipated. It was announced in the papers that the payment of the first instalment of the sum squeezed out of the Spanish Government would commence on the 28th ult. ; but, according to certain regulations laid down, a priority was to be given to the original holder of the certifi cates granted. The purchasers of such certificates aarOashnorn they i theteohyfe2‘tOvi commencement etth were not to be attended to till the 19th of the pre sent month, but then they made sure of their prizes, for such they undoubtedly would have been. The cup has, however, been dashed from their lips just instant, arisingaos t n a il t t h , e th p e o point fy otfi afteri i s t tasting s e t l i al the i s g s time o i its contents. pcao)rnmt appointed e e n n t t s s . , t t le e r endorsees, and nther announcement appeared in the papers, in which ti General .

The manner in which the disappointment of the specu lators in the hard earnings of the neglected soldier is de scribed by our contemporary is not a little ludicrous. " Their consternation," he says," at such an announce ment may be easily imagined. Persons who pur chased the documents (declared on the face of them to be negotiable) were told when the very money to which they were entitled was lying in store for them, and they had been already invited to participate in it, that they were not to touch a penny " until f ur th e r notice." Thus they at once saw their property reduced to a mere cipher at the moment when they had every reason to expect its realisation." Their consternation may indeed be easily imagined ; but we trust, nevertheless, that the law will character, doue interpose it s a uth or ity between the unfortunate soldier who has b e e n so scan d a l o usly fleeced , and those who, in the prosecuti on o f th e i r m erciless voc ation, have fleeced him. Tlse law t o li f o a s en onerous and flagitious been whi c h h ave ca ll e d f or the interferenc e of the Vice- Chancello r , an d t h e o bj ec ts of the ext ortioner will, we s not recognise such a s nt have n o d ou b t, b e i n t h e pr esent case sig n al l y defeated. In the a ff a i r o f t h e T reas ury bonds issued for the c vi o e t r a a k c e ts coupons of November, 1836, the Spanish Government was at least equally precise in its promise to pay, and there was, with respect to these, nothing in the shape of an injunction to pre vent it from making good its engag ement ; but th e bonds remain unpaid, together with tho interest accruing upon them, to the present hour. A high market value was given for these securities, and those who bought them did so with the most perfect fairness. There was no usury—no oppression whatever in the matter. Now, the Stock Exchange people have been attempting so far to throw the holders of the Treasury Bonds overboard as to say, that they ought to be put upon a like footing with the holders of Active Debt and unconverted coupons, a principle which we declare to be most iniquitous. The Treasury Bonds, like the soldiers' certificates, were advertised to be paid off on a given day ; and the utmost the endorsees of the latter can expect is, we should say, to be reimbursed the money they are actually out of pocket when some at tention shall have been paid to those obligations. We like to see fair play, and are rejoiced that the represen tations of Mr. Cochrane and others in behalf of the Legion have had the influence which they seem to have had in the right quarter to obtain it. SUN.—We have not had quite so buoyant a market for the British securities to-da), owing to the turn the Account appears to have takenlagainst the speculators for an advance, who have bought, it would seem, rather too largely, and are now paying a higher rate of continua tion, or are selling out to complete their engagements. Most of the Foreign Stocks, as has been the case for some time past, followed the movement of the English securities, being all a shade lower. Spanish Active Bonds opened at 25Z-, and closed at 25k, while the De ferred wore not higher than 124 to -a ; Portuguese New Five per Cents. were worth 354, and the Three per Cents, were heavy at 23 to 223. Brazil Bonds were dull at 80 ; and Cellmbian of 1824, at 23/ for money, and 25 for time. Chilien fell to 43k, and rallied to 45 ; and Mexican Consolidated Bonds ranged from 303 to 304. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., in conse quence of the buoyancy of the Amsterdam Bourse on Monday afternoon, touched 52- this morning, but this price tempted a sale or two, and they did not leave off higher than 52. There was not so good a market for the Railway Shares, and the business done was comparatively limited. Great Western Shares brought 28 to 26k, New 10/, Hull and Selby 31, London and Birmingham 81, Man , chester and Leeds 30 premium. South Western fell to 171 prem. Midland Counties were at 18, Brighton at 9-1, and Blackwall at 3 to 1 discount. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Llrsnroca, Aug. 25 CROWN SIDE. (Before Mr. Justice COLTMAN.) James Hanson was indicted for the wilful murder o' William Cheetham, at Manchester. The prosecution was conducted by Mr. Armstrong and Mr. Wilkins. The prisoner was not defended by counsel. It appeared that the prisoner, deceased, and one Clayton, were hands on beard a canal-boat, belonging to a person of the name of Shepherd, plying on the canal between Rochdale and Manchester. On Saturday, the 21st of March, they, with several other persons, were at a public-house in Manchester, and in the course of the evening they all became considerably intoxicated. They were afterwards at a public-house called the Brownsfield Arms, which was near that branch of the canal whire the boat was lying, and at which house the horses were usually stabled. Clayton fell asleep, and remained so till about eight o'clock, when he left the house and went to the Mill's-hill station-house on the Leeds Railway, where he passed the night. In the mean time the deceased had left the house with the intention of going to his boat, and was shortly afterwards followed by the prisoner. The latter had at that time light trowsers and a dark jacket on. In the course of the evening the prisoner was seen coming from the yard that inclosed the wharf, where the boat lay with a sack containing something heavy, and having the appearance of a quantity of corn. A litt.e before seven o'clock a watchman, who was in a factory at the opposite side of the arm of the canal, where the boat was lying, heard cries of murder. He went to a window which was situated somewhat higher than the level of the boat. He saw a man with light coloured trowsers and dark jacket come out of the boat. He got on the bank, and began to gather stones and slates, saying in a very excited manner, D—n thee, I'd cut thy b—y head off if I could find a stone. I'd make thee remember for throttling me." A second man put his head out of the cabin hatch. The other person then exclaimed, " I'll murder thee ;" adding, " 1 don't care a d—n for thee or the b oa t ; can have another to-morrow." He continued all this time throwing stones. The person with his head out of the cabin hatch kept cry ing " watch," and desiring the other to go away. He also said something to the witness about fighting. His as sailant then got on board the boat, went to the place where the other was, and either kicked him or struck him with something, for he disappeared, and all was silent. It was getting dark at the time, and the witness could not say whether the prisoner was the man he stw ; but the person was dressed in a dark jacket and light trowsers. He seemed, so far as he could observe, a less man than the prisoner, and his voice was shrill and " laddish." The affair continued about twenty mi 'lutes. During this time there was some person at the lock gate, a little further up the canal, who called out " George" (the name of the witness) and said something about " come away." The witness gave as a reason for not interfering that such quarrels were very frequent among the boatmen, and that if he had meddled with them the windows of the factory would probably have been broken. The arm where the boat lays turns off at right angles with the main canal, and a little beyond is a lock, separated from the wharf by a wall running along the side of the main canal down to the water's edge, at the spot where the boat was lying. It is there, however, so broken away that a person can easily get round the end of it into the yard enclosing the wharf, and the slates piled inside would enable any one to get on the top of the wall, and from thence by the balance-pole of the lock to the track along the canal. From the testimony of another witness of the name of James Gold, it appeared that lie was passing through the lock about the time in qutstiun, when a man who seemed in a great passion got over the wall on the end of the balance pole of the lock. He ran down the side of the canal towards the end of the wall, beyond which Shepherd's boat was lying, gathering stones as he went. He exclaimed D—n thee, I'll kill thee, or cut thy b—y head off." He got round the corner to the boat throwing stones. There was another man in the boat, who kept saying, " Go away, go away ; I'll have no more to do with thee." The witness had by this time got his boat to the corner, and turned it round into the arm of the: canal for the purpose of conveying it to a wharf beyond that at which Shepherd's boat was lying. As he passed it the same scene still continued, one party throwing stones, and the other with his head out of the cabin crying out, Watch." The person who was throwing the stones addressed the witness, saying, " Jim, what must I do at him ?" The witness replied, " Let him alone, I think thou'st done enough at him." The person then went to the cabin hatch and made a motion with his leg, as if kicking the other, who disappeared with a noise, as if h had fallen on the floor. His ,as sailant then got into the cabin, and the witness heard him flinging something out of the cabin like stones that rattled on the slates in the yard. The witness stated he did not know the party who thus addressed him by his name. He was dressed in light trowsers and dark jacket, and his voice was very shrill. About nine o'clock the prisoner was again at the Brownsfield Arms, in company with one Howarth, and a person named Samuel Cheetham, the navigators of another boat on the canal. He told the waiter that some one bad beaten William shamefully, but no further conversation took place on the subject. He did not, it would ap pear, mention the matter to Howarth or Cheetham. The latter, who had been with the prisoner and the deceased in the early part of the evening, had been backwards and forwards to their boat several times be tween that time and the time when they met the pri soner in the public-house. On the last occasion they found that their boat, which lay beyond the lock, had been pushed across to the other side of the canal, and the towing lines were stolen from it. They mentioned this to the prisoner when he met them at the Brownsfield Arms, and he said be would lend them a line. They went down to their boat, got her through the iock, and warped her up alongside Shepherd's boat. The prisoner, who had by this time got on board, asked Howarth if he had any matches. Howarth replied he had not. He then asked if he had any sulphur, and got some, with which be in vain attempted to kindle a fire. They then went together to the lock-house, and over the wall of the yard obtained a light. They went together into the cabin, where Howarth saw the deceased sitting on the foot of his bed, with his head resting on his knees. He raised himself up, and, without any previous remark having been made, said, " It was done in the cabin." The prisoner replied, " Nay, it was done in the street." They contradicted one another twice or thrice in this way, and the witness having assisted the prisoner to light his fire, left the boat without any further explana tion. The next morning he went back to get the haul. ing-line which had been promised him. He found the prisoner asleep in one bed, and the deceased lying on the other, with his feet on the floor. He was snoring. The prisoner got up, for the purpose of getting the line, which was under the bed on which the deceased lay. He shook the deceased by the arms, and kicked him on the soles of his shoes, but did not succeed in awakening him, and finally pulled him off the bed in a heap on the floor. The witness got the line, and went away. A little after six o'clock that morning the prisoner was again at the Brownsfield Arms, but did not, it would ap pear, then mention anything of what had occurred. A little before eight be was seen by a person of the name of Hambleton, a beer-seller to whom he said, " This is a shocking thing about W. Cheetham." Hambleton asked " What Cheetham ?" " Why,"said the prisoner, " William Cheetham, who goes in Shepherd's hoat." He said that, when he went on board the night before, the deceased told him two men and a woman had come and used him sadly, and taken ss. from him. Ham bleton asked him how Cheetham was ? He replied he was better, and that, before he left the boat, he had asked the deceased to get up and wash himself, and that he left him about to do so. He said the persons who had beaten Cheetham had robbed the boat of the lines and a sack of corn. About nine o'clock he was again at the Brownsfield Arms, and mentioned to the waiter that he wanted the captain, Clayton, and said that he could not get William awakened. He added, " he has a pair of eyes such as thou never seed." A maid ser vant who was present asked if they had got any one for him. He replied, '° No ; that be was only bleeding at the nose a bit, and be thought he would do." He then went out, and shortly after met the captain, Clayton, in the street. He addressed him, and told him that Bill was dead. Clayton replied, "No ! he's not, surely." He answered, with a smile, "No ; he's not dead, but he's got such a face as thou never seed." The captain and he then proceeded to the boat. On the way the prisoner told him that on going on board the night before, the deceased told him that four men and a woman had followed him to the boat, and robbed him of his money, and that' they had taken the lines and a sack of corn. On Clayton going into the cabin, he found the deceased resting on his knees by the bedside, with his face and hands on the bed. He raised him up, and found he was dead, though still warm. He then came back to the Brownsfield Arms, and sent for a policeman. The body was re moved to the hospital, the prisoner assisting to remove it from the cabin. The skull was found to be severely fractured, and there were marks of several wounds and bruises on the face. A piece of slate was found in the cabin. as well as a wooden mallet, stained with blood. A piece of brick was also found on the wharf side, with a quantity of blood still fresh upon it. Evidence of some length was given to show that to different individuals he had given contradictory ac. counts of the statement which he said the deceased bad made as to the persons by whom he had been attacked. He said the deceased had made this statement before he (the prisoner) had gone to supper his horse at the Brownsfield Arms, at nine o'clock, and that he himself got back to the boat very drunk, and unable to give any account of the way in which he got there. To one of the officers he said that the deceased was better in the morning, and that be found him dead on coming back from the Brownsfield Arms. He added that Haworth could clear him of the charge, having seen the deceased in the morning, and found him quite in a joking humour. This was almost the only point on which the prisoner asked a question, and he cross-exc.mined the witness to show that he had spoken of the even:Pg before, when, according to Haworth's evidence, he did. not see and speak with the deceased. His LORDSHIP having summed up, the Jury retired for a considerable time, and returned a verdict of Guilty of Manslaughter. James M'Keveriown was indicted for the murder of George Washington, a man of colour. The prosecution was conducted by Mr. Armstrong and Mr. Murphy. The prisoner was defended by Mr. Wilkins. It appeared that the prisoner, who is an Irishman, had the evening before this occurrence been beaten by some men of colour, and had several times in the course of the morning expressed his intention of striking the first black man he met. He was seen standing near his own door, in the company of two other men, and having a large stone, which he was throwing from one hand into the other. The deceased, who was an old man of sixty years of age, cook to a merchantman, was proceeding along the footpath, and he had no sooner passed the prisoner than the latter struck him a blow on the back of the head with a stone, and when he was down, kicked him on the same part of his person. The deceased lay insensible, and was removed to his own lodgings, and thence to the infirmary. The blood came from his ears, nose, and mouth. He lingered for a fortnight, and died. On a post-mortem examination it was found that there was an extensive extravasation of blood, and that the texture of the brain had been de stroyed by the violence of the blow. The Jury found the prisoner guilty of an aggravated manslaughter. His Lordship passed upon both the prisoners, M'Keverigan and Hanson, sentence of fifteen years transportation. REMEDY for BURNS and SCALDS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—In an account of an inquest held on the body of Sarah Burke, which appeared in The Sun of the 17th instant, it is stated that " the Coroner," Mr. Wakley, " said it was a strange fact, but it is neverthe less true, that there is no effectual and general remedy as yet safely established for the cure of burns. This desideratum is still wanted," &c. I am, Sir, prepared to show there is such a remedy. Feeling surprised that it has not made its way among the hospitals and medi cal men in general, I beg permission to avail myself of your philanthropic columns, and large circulation, to make it more public, that much suffering, and many lives may be saved by its adoption. I know not what modes of treatment are now resorted to in the hospi tals, but I am aware there has been considerable divi sion of opinion as to the best remedies, if the means employed are worthy of the term. Some contend for the antiphlogistic, or cooling plan ; others for adding more fuel to the fire, such as oil:of turpentine, camphor. ated spirits, &c., which they denominate stimulating. Practice proves that both these plans are anything but remedies. The great mistake in the present attempts at cure is, that the theory of burns and scalds has seldom if ever been duly considered ; the following is my view of the matter. The immediate effect of the applica tion of the superabundant heat to the surface of the body is an expansion of the tissue composing the true skin, the muscular fibre not being a rapid conductor of heat, the injury is extremely superficial, but in this skin are inserted the deli ca t e ram ifi ca ti ons o f the arteries, veins, nerves, and a b sor b en t s ; th e se are immediately called into increased action (proportionable to the amount of heat received) ; these minute arteries and veins are enlarged, the blood is pushed through them with additional velocity, at the same time it becomes highly oxygenised by its more rapid contact with atmos pheric air, the inflammation extends to the deeper and larger vessels, the nerves in the immediate neighbour hood become excessively irritable, and cause the most acute pain, by their sympathetic mode of action. The irritation is conveyed throughout the system, and death steps in with relief; whilst the hospitals are trying their cooling or stimulating plans after hundreds of failures. But death here is the consequence of secondary causes, which, though brought into aperation by too much heat, are continued and increased by other influences. Thus the stimulating power of oxygen on the blood is actu ally keeping up a state of action (which may be termed slow combustion), in defiance of the hospital remedial measures. Having satisfied ourselves thus far, the certain means of cure is obvious, viz., the total prevention of th e con t act of the injured part and atmospheric air ; this has occasionally been attempted with fine cotton wadding, but I object to that article, because it does not fully answer the i n t en Lion, for it absorbs and retains air among its fibres, as a sponge does water ; and its contact with the skin is not sufficiently perfect, by reason of its elasticity. Th e re medy I propose, and have tried with extraordinary success, is fine wheaten flour, strewed over the injured skin, to the extent, at least, of an inch in thickness which can be best done with a fl our d re d ger ; the , sur face of the flour must then, to e ff ectua ll y exclude the air, be brought into the condition of soft paste by a layer of water, the d r y fl our only remaining i n contact with the skin. Perfect stillness of the patient should be secured ; the dressing in severe cases should not be removed before the expiration of twenty-four hours. I have in my own per son exper i enced the invaluable bene fit of this application. Sonic years since being engaged in a a chemical experiment, a glass vessel placed in a water bath exploded at the moment I happened to have my face over th e apparatus ; t h e contents o f t h e glassinstantly expanding into gas and vapour, blew the greater part of the boiling water over me. Flour was obtained and applied in the same manner as stated above, in three minutes after the explosion. The most intense pain I can conceive it possible to experience gradually passed away in about twenty or thirty minutes. Had any other means known been used instead of this, I have no doubt I must have suffered for several days continued excruciating pain, if I then had been fortunate enough, in the course of two or three weeks, to have obtained what my medical attendant would have termed a cure, it would have been at the cost of a few hideous cicatrices, and total blindness ; as it was, the only parts injured, or which remained painful after the flour was removed, were those which could not be securely covered, as the lips and eyelids. Since this period I have had the pleasure of preventing much suffering ; and I have taken advantage of the means which occurred to me, of making this in estimable remedy as popular as possible. E. G. WELLS, Chemist. Cheltenham, Aug. 20. THE LATE EARL OF DURHAM, AND PRO POSED MONUMENT IN HONOUR OF lIIM.—It is a source of gratification to us to observe the sincere, ardent, and en thusiastic manner in which the proposition has been re ceived of paying some signal mark of respect to the me mory of John George Lamhton, Earl of Durham. Whether it is to assume the form of a monument or a statue—whatever shape it is to take—it is extremely satisfactory to see the very decided and general expression of opinion in favour of such manifestation of esteem and regard, because it is felt universally that the respect, the homage, thus shown to his memory, is not from personal feeling alone, however amiable he may have been in private life, but principally from the politi cal principles which be avowed, and from the simple, open, manly, decided, and intelligible way in which he declared them. That a subscrip tion will be obtained sufficient in amount to raise a monument to the Noble Lord, worthy of the occasion, we have not the slightest doubt ; and we trust it will be such a memorial as is likely, not merely to do honour to the principles which have become connected and identified with his name, but such a memento as may prove a spur to other statesmen—to show that, to whatever defeats and mortifications they may be subjected, if they sincerely de sire to see the rights and liberties of their countrymen secured and extended, their exertions will not be allowed to pass unnoticed and unrewarded by the people. The marked and distinctly-avowed leading improvements re quited in our political system, were, in the estimation of the Noble Earl, Ist, Triennial Parliaments; 2d, House hold Suffrage ; 3d, The Ballot ; and we feel perfect confi dence that these principles must and will, sooner or later, be acted upon by the Government and the Legislature, however conflicting interests may heretofore have obstructed and opposed them.— Tync Mercury. EVEN !NG ED %Tit:l(W. • A WOMAN WITH FOUR LIU BANDS. A female, apparently about 35 years of age, 1 n means remarkable for her personal charms, was bro ug., up at the Borough Court, on Monday last, under Or' following extraordinary circumstances : Inspector Bibby stated, that on Thursday eveni the prisoner went to the Hulme barracks, and left Il': child, which was only about four months old, on one the beds ; for which he had apprehended her on Satto - • day night last. The inspector produced the child , which, was in a shocking state of emaciation, and excited LIM commiseration of the whole Court. Mr. Scott, the relieving officer for Charlton-",'' Medlock, said she claimed Richard German, a prig in the Artillery, as her husband ; that she was veil' poor, and he believed left the child for him to keep ;- but, as German had discovered that she had three other husbands living, he refused to have anything to do e ither with the child or her. Bibby produced two marriage certificates found on the prisoner, and said he believed all the marriages had been celebrated at Gretna Green. The first took place in 1836, and two of the others since 1838. German, the fourth husband, was then sworn. He stated that he was married to the prisoner in Deeern ber, 1839, and the child was born in April, 1840, n n which account he refused to live with her any longer; Bibby said the third husband was in Court, an wanted to take her to live with him. A man, having the a pp earance o f a wol-kman, tb came forward, and said his na me was Richardsonrb3 ,0t he was the third husband ; and that he was willing take the prisoner, and provide for Ler as his wife. f Mr. Maude asked, if there was any probabditY proving the first marriage, and Bibby said he did °— think there was. In her defence the prisoner said she left the ehild, ip t the barracks, and did not intend to desert it ; and tt a she did not marry the second time till she heard t t her first husband was dead.,' She was then ordered to stand down for a o° l4 time ; and, on being put up again, Mr. Scott said sh e wouldrefused s rather suffer he w toas then se nwi discharged h r an heyrtn a t third g. tcr husband,. a, s u it a a n b d l e said in s o li n ; tion from Mr. M au d e ; an d M r : S cott sa id h e *hr ni ir i : pass her to Carli s l e , w h ere h er f at h er li ve d, a nd "%- care that the child was provided for,—Oland/a te ' Guardian.
