i (Thr M ONEY MARKET and CITY 1:%:10: (YEIDA-T EVENING.) CHRONICLE. --We understand that the Com mittee of Spanish American bondholders have it Mi- in con templation to ca I u p on Senor Moreno, the nister of Buenos Ayres, and the Peruvian aghe seeut, twore lative to some arr an g ement of the debts of t States. Peru has now enjoyed a state of peace for some time, and, as her Custom -house revenues were formerly es timated at from three to four millioe dollars annually, it is thought that, following the example of Mexico , a sufficient appropria tion of her customs should be set aside to meet the interest of her foreign debt. The blockade of Buenos Ayres, under present appearances, may be expected to terminate soon, and it is quite cer tain that a small amount from her customs revenues can be easily set aside for the payment of the interest on her foreign loan. It is expected that the Messrs. Barings, who were the contractors, and obtained high terms for that Republic, will, from their respectability and influence, promote this desirable object, which is about to engage the active attention of the Committee. The conversion of the Mexican Bonds terminates this day, which reduces the Active Debt nearly two million sterling, and confines the transactions in this particular security to one Stock, viz. the Five per Cents. TIMES.—The affairs of Hammersley's bank are • transferred to the superintendance of the Court of Chan cery, the tribunal whose delays are so much dreaded by all those creditors to whom an early distribution of as sets is matter of any importance. By a notice which appeared on Tuesday last under a decree of that Court, tAc creditors are to come in and prove their debts be fore a Master in Chancery, or be excluded from the benefits of that decree. This issue could not, it is con ceived, have been arrived at, had only a little exertion been used by the legal representative of the late Mr. Ihmenersley, and by the leading creditors who might then probably have provided a much better protection for the general interest and their own. They have thus shut out, too, as it would appear, the inquiry, second only in importance to the sufficiency of the assets, whe ther there are not parties in existence, against whom the liability of partnership in the firm may be esta blished. _ _ _ A. friendly concurrence between the executor of Mr. 3-Jammersley and the chief creditors, who would have justified in offering to him any guarantee that he ro;iht require, would at least have insured a speedy realization And division of assets. Looking to the mode in which banking business is generally conducted, a con -version into money of the greater or of all the securities field need not have been the work of more than a few days. What was obviously available could therefore - fa f e been shared at once, and the c►editors would have been left at liberty to pursue their cirrns against others who have been partners in secret, or who have failed i❑ , .obtaining legal release from the obligations of former atttual partnership. a the early stage of the failure some hope was crea ted , n ;ong the creditors by a letter of Messrs. Coutts, who had . ipterfered to protect some of the customers, that such interference would have a further and more important extension ► but it ought to have been seen at once how exceedingly limited it was in its character. The interval between the death of Mr. Hugh Ham mersley and tho arrangement placing the affairs of the house in Chancery appears to have been one of much confusion and uncertainty. Parties who had deposits there, and who, naturally anxious about the fate of their property, had applied day after day to learn what was going on, have stated that all the subalterns were per fectly bewildered and unable to offer a word of infor piation and encouragement. One of the questions to which, like the rest, no answer could be obtained was, whether the affairs of the house were likely to be thrown into Chancery," and proved the dread with which this alternative was viewed by all. With respect to liability arising out of former close connelxion, amounting to partnership, there are rumours nurri..nt of DO indefinite character, charging the present mysterious conduct of the representatives of the de ceased banker upon the secret and artful machinations of a party, who, hi order to screen himself, is now rising his influence to entangle the interests of the cre ditors and the affairs of the firm, until the property is frittered away in law or Chancery proceedings. With out vouching for the truth of any such rumour, this re sult would indicate that at least the danger apprehended has come upon them. They have now only to await she issue with patience, and an abundant exercise of that quality will no doubt be required. i:ERALD.—A report has been published by the officers sent to India to ascertain the capabilities of that country, by the cultivation of flax, to render us in dependent of foreigners. It is stated that the climate is peculiarly favourable for its production, and that any quantity can be raised ; in fact, to so great an extent, that at present, if their operations be sanctioned, it is pruposed only to give the natives instruction as to the alterations which sho:Ild be made in their present plan of not separating the must,:skl seed. A description of 11,1 x, (known by the name of jute) has for many years formed a staple article of commerce between the coon tres, and of late been most beneficial to Scotland, by caus►ng the manufacture of a common species of bag ging so ',we , as to render it an artice of export in the made-up state to the producing country. But a few years since the rnuslins of India were imported here ; now, by the reduction of the duty upon the raw mate rial, and the improved machinery' of this country, Eng laud supplies India with the same articles which used to ha received f:om thence. Even the comparatively trifling article of bagging can now be made here more cheaply than where the raw material is grown, There, fore, if our own manufactures are to be encouraged, the raw material should be burdened as little as possible. POST.—Although it would be premature to specu late upon the certainty of the influence of reason in the approaching Chambers of France, it has become the general opinion that the fury of that nation is about to be cooled, and that, with the dismissal from power of the present Administration, the former pacific relations will soon be re-established between England and France, Already some parties are of opinion that consider able advantages may be found to have arisen out of the recent alarms, the true position and power of France having been ascertained by the discovery that all the rest of the European nations have not gone under ground in consequence of i the threatening lan guage of M. Thiers, and this oson is thought to be useful in preventing the lecurrecwe of alarms which otherwise might never have known afrf end. it is also remarked that monetary affairs may be ex pected to improve by the greater supplies of bullion which are now being paid away amongst the workmen who are building the fortifications around Paris, to the diminution of the very large mass of Government bul lion which has long been buried ha the vaults of the Bank of France. This money must now be poured out for the wages of labour in the fortifications of Paris, and throughout the garrisons and seaports of France, and even the warlike E. Tniers may not have perceived that French gold must be paid to the English merchants for the extensive shipments which have been going for vrard of muskets, lead, saltpetre, copper, and tin. The prices of these articles of war have been largely advanced by the orders from France ; and, as the bilis are supposed to Se intended to be paid, it follows that the gold must be produced from the vaults of the Bank---a result which is very mach to be d e sirJ, not because France will be impoverished by the possession of enormous masses of warlike stores, which will be useless, 0 2d sold at last at a loss of millions upon millions of francs, Lz.. , t that the gold circulation of Europe will be conside'ably relieved by the emptying of the vaults of the Bank of France. It appears from the statement of the affairs of this in stitution that the bullion belonging to the Government was recently not less than two hundred and forty mil lions of francs, a sum the burial of which must have been an extensive injury to the commerce of France, and the policy of its accumulation so enormously erro neous that the reproduction of this money into the metallic circulation of Europe is alone considered to be zsufficient reward for the terrors which have been in . licted upon the nation by the soon-to-be-forgotten M. Thiers. SUN. —The English Securities were firmer and more buoyant tc-d ay, and the rise on the lowest quotation of yesterday was I per cent.

ROYAL ARTILLEM.Y.—GeneraI Order, Oct. 2, 1840. —The Master-General having had under his considera tion the highly irregular and insubordinate conduct of drummer and trumpeter L. Alarson, sth battalion of the Royal Artillery, has been pleased to direct that he be discharged, as unworthy to be retained in the regiment ; and the Master-General desires it may be fully under stood that similar measures will be pursued with regar d to all other drummers and trumpeters who do not afford the promise of becoming good soldiers. (Signed) H. D. ROSS, Colonel, Deputy Adjutant-General. General Order, Oct. 5, 1840.—The Master-General has been pleased to approve of the officers of the Royal Artillery wearing a shell jacket at all undress parades, drills, and stable duties, instead of the blue frock coat, (luring the time they may be attached to the field bat teries. (Signed) H. D. ROSS, Colonel, Deputy Adjutant-General. On account of the few Royal Marines at present in the garrison, a party of the Royal Artillery have been under the necessity of mounting guard on the dockyard, the usual duty of the former corps. Royal. ARSINAL.—The Joanna, Admiralty sloop, arrived on Tuesday from Chatham with old stores, and will sail again in a few days for that military station with a cargo of 32-pound shot. Amongst the articles brought by this vessel were four beautiful brass guns (24-pounders) raised during the course of the summer from the Royal George. These guns bear evidence that they were cast by Mr. Schaich, master founder in this arsenal in 1743, and are nine feet three inches long, weighing fifty-one hundred one quarter each. On examination they have been found as perfect as the day they were made, and appear to have been but little used. Orders have been issued that the slight surface of oxi dation be removed, and when cleaned, which they will be in a few days, they will be forwarded for service on board the Howe, 120-gun ship, recently commissioned at Chatham. Several lots of old iron have been set aside, on part of the grounds, for sale ; and, amongst other articles, there are a number of the iron breastplates used by the cuirassiers of the French army, taken from prisoners during the last war. Formerly the recruits of the Royal Artillery were mustered once a month to exercise the fire-engines connected with this establishment. The engines are of the most powerful construction—the one named the Globe being capable of throwing one tun ' of water per minute. The recruits are now employed once a week at this work. On Thursday evening 160 men, besides the non-commissioned officers directing them, were engaged, and the excellent and systematic manner in which they worked the engines had an ad mirable effect. The strictest injunctions have been is sued to the workmen in the various departments of the arsenal to be sure that all the shavings, chips of wood, and every article of a combustible nature, not absolutely necessary for working with, are removed every day out of the workshops and store-rooms, and every place must be carefully swept and examined minutely before the men leave work in the evening. Yesterday seventeen fine young horses for the Royal Artillery were landed here from Ireland. They were conveyed in a steamer. DOCKTARD.—Yesterday morning, about eight o'clock, during a heavy fog, one of the convicts employed near the wall of the dockyard bounded by the road to Green wich, pulled out one of the palings and effected his escape, though the sentry, a private of the 61st Regi ment, was within a few yards of him at the time, and fired his gun, loaded with ball, the moment he discovered his intention. The number of the convict was 604, as shown by his jacket, which he left, along with his hat and shoes. At the time I write the convicts are ordered to the vessel for muster, to ascertain the name and de scription of the one who has escaped. It is said be is an old man. The soldier in whose charge he was has been placed in custody. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. (From the Morning Chronicle.) We have received by express the Paris Journals o Thursday, including the Moniteur, with the official ordore nance convoking the Chambers, and which we published yesterday in our Second Edition. All the Press, every organ of party, express satisfaction at the speedy as sembling of the Chambers. The Ministry escapes from the too great weight of responsibility. The King escapes from the ever varying proposals of his Ministers —at one time to seize Candia, at another to force the blockade and send 20,000 men to Alexandria, and at another to attack the Russian fleet if' it dare pass the Bosphorus. The red-hot folk are satisfied, because they hope to continue in the tribune the war-cry, which was growing stale and flat in the columns of the press. The Conservatives feel pretty certain that they can prove M. Thiers to have wanted fore sight, prudence, and firmness, and that he is not the miraculous statesman that his admirers declared. M. Thiers has no doubt committed blunders ; but his position, it must be admitted, was one of great difficulty. He had to steer between the intricate points of his own position as representative of the more moderate ideas and interests of the Revolution, and the well-known leanings of the King—between the absurd Egyptiec mania of Parisian writers and his own consciousness that France was but a second-rate naval power, whose ambition was to be satisfied by extending frontiers at home rather than grasping at colonies abroad. Notwithstanding, however, all these difficul ties, which have paralyzed his efforts, and even baffled his sagacity. M. Thiers is a statesman whose power 1 rises when in the midst of a popular assembly ; and es pecially if he be driven to assume the defence of a spi rited and national policy, we may reckon upon his voice being most influential in the Chamber. By the first week in November, however—that is, before the French Chamber can enter upon debate—the Syrian ques tion will, we have no doubt, be already solved. The French Press, and its allies in this coun try, have all along proceeded on the assump tion that the blockade, with operations merely on the coast, could never seriously coerce or menace Egyptian power in Syria, and that such means proving insufficient, the dangerous ones of Russian armies must Lave been had recourse to. The result has proved how completely French statesmen, French journals, and the Egypto-Gallicians here were mis ' taken. All their prophecies and declamations on this head have proved them to be the meerest noodles, as ignorant of the East as incapable of common sense. The French Deputies can no longer entertain this blunder. The Puha can be driven from Syria with out the employment of any means calculated to alarm the susceptibilities even of France. A handful of English sailors :and marines may expel a tyrant, but i cannot themselves. found a tyranny or an empire. By the Ist of November there will be no longer anything for the French to prevent in the Levant ; for Syria will no longer be the Pacha's, and it will depend on himself whether we leave him quiet in Egypt. War, therefore, will, nay has already, become too great an absurdity for any setious Frerchmen to abet, unless, in deed, he be one of those parties which want to change 1 the dynasty or the form of g overnment, and would make \ use of the fervour of patriotism to beget a revolution. (From the Times.) \The circulation of Lord Palmerston's despatch of the 31st of August to Mr. Bulwer, which appeared in the Times of last Saturday, and was noticed in a lead ing article on Wednesday, the 7th inst., has wrought a ' g reat benefit in the state of public opinion. The sup port, moreover, which was contributed to the same cause by the ablest, most respectable, and most autho ritative members of the French press, has been of in finite service in opening men's eyes to the real merits of 1 the question as between France and the Allied Powers, and has swept away like flies from off a wall the silly and offensive extravagances which had previously passed current with the uninformed portion of society as funda mental truths whereon the whole case was to rest, and by virtue of which the treaty of July, with the proceed ings of the Allied Powers, both antecedently to that measure, and in the process of its execution, was to have been condemned by the whole civilized world, The intent of that state paper was not to assert, but to demonstrate, that France had nothing what ever to complain of, but England and her allies much. It W4B to prove that the first transaction of the five Powers on record, with relation to thin quarrel between th e Porte and Mehemet Ali, had been a conimon agree. inen t in the one main proposition—viz., that the inte grity of the Turkish empire ought to he maintained, with a view to the.restnred equilibrium of Europe ; an d that Mehemet Ali ought therefore to be called upon to disgorge the provinces which he had plundered from her. But, although France concurred in the admission of the above truth, it wee the solitary point on which she did not oppose the allied Powers. There were no m e ans suggested for enforcing the principle which all apparently or professedly acknowledged, which was not strenuously resisted by France, who at last gave it to be clearly understood, that so far as depended on her co-operation or approval, the doctrine which was declared by all to be just and axiomatic should remain for her a dead letter, or worse, inas. much as whatever wrongs had been committed by Mehemet Ali against Turkey, or whatever he might hereafter perpetrate, either against her or the just equi poise of Europe, she (France) would never conntenaepe the employment of coercion as a means of extorting from hir e t h at j ustice which it was plain that no ocher instrume n t would afford, and therefore that this char tered plu n d erer and rebel should be suffered to proceed to the end rights, the laws, and safety outraging,f with impunity, the r e s f t o t n i rnei H.. before stronglyh of neighbouring nations. Lord Palm::saety many who I ,,,,„ showed, to the full satisfaction of censured or dis- t trusted him, that throughout such transactions France had 1 forbearance which she put did not forth pretensions which than England and her allies Lord Paleness she Palmerston ebowed, that beente whole progress of treated with a Practise, and had bed no more justified it' France them. it an w d as the wayward Po'- took without the ra s r l l l c i e d it was entirely that w i t a h l o l ut deferenceallies,courtesy hadowlae:f 'tested towards her ; that . if France found I r i e l :s b o r n 3g ; ei foe n manifested herself ,c isolated" and p Ministers which had made he r ve rseness of 1)0' 9" . so. t THE SUN, LONDON. SATU'RrIAY, OCTOBER 10, Is4o. that they had haughtily refused—nay, resented, invita• tions addressed to them in a spirit of perfect frankness and good neighbourhood ; and that if the Allied Go vernments at length, and almost at the setting in of a season of which the arrival usually frustrates every ma ritime operation, had found themselves compelled either to execute their treaty by a coercive process against Mehemet Ali on the cost of Syria, or to aban don it altogether, and so become the ridicule of the world, France has assuredly had no right to murmur ; inasmuch as she had not taken offence at the published provisions of the treaty, and therefore could not fairly do so at their strict and exact fulfilment. The Ministers of France, therefore, have rot been " driven' to any thing—not to be unreasonable on behalf of Mehemet Ali, and not to be threatening, tu-bulent, or aggressive for themselves. borne—partially vex those who have the management of the English navy, cannot by any possibility lessen that power which enables her to govern every ocean which girdles the globe. We are so rr y t o say t h at no bl emen , gentlemen, and others whom we scorn to particularize, have been exerting themselves to show that the British navy has, under the Government of a Liberal Adminis tration, fallen from the rank which it once held. This is an infamous calumny —or an effort to obtain office at the expense of the truth ; for no one who has examined the condition of our navy, or has learned the characters of those who have the command of it, can fairly and truly refrain from acknowledging that it was never in a more efficient state than at the present time. FROII THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. (From the Globe.) While the Univers is preach ing a C at h o li c crusa d e , the National is preaching something like a Mahometan one. While the former has sufficient evidence at least to perceive that the flames of revolutionary propa gandism, if once kindled, must first consume France, before they spread to her neighbours—the latter is exhorting her rulers to the following rather strong measures—" March upon the Rhine, tear the treaties of 1815, proclaim boldly the principles that are destined to change the face of the world, cry out to Germany, to Italy, to Spain, to Poland, that you carry at the point of your weapons the magnet o f c i v ili sat i on ; . that your oriflamme the symbol of equality, of hu man fraternity ; curse the spirit o f conquest, exto l t h at noble esprit de famille which is henceforth to unite re generated nations ; render France worthy of her tradi tions, group round her all who suffer, all who hope ; carry your sword high, and have your banners blessed by the God who blessed those of - Jena, Fleurus, and Marengo." There is a sentence somewhere in Junius, if we recollect right, to the effect that honest men, like the true religion, appeal to reason and conscience. " Tne imposter employs force instead of argument , i mposes where he cannot convince, and propagates his cha racter by the sword.' The revolutionary party in France seem exceedingly anxious to propagate their character by the sword, in the name o f t h e i r G o d an d his prophet. It is quite unnecessary. Their character is well known in Europe already, It is remembered that the first external act of the first French Assembly that abjured foreign conquest, and proclaimed universal fraternity, was the fraudulent annexation of a fron tier territory. It is remembered that ten years had not elapsed from that pompous proclamation, before a similar fate had overtaken every defenceless neighbour, and forced contributions had drained the dupes of " equa lity" and " fraternity." When George the First im ported a mistress from Hanover, who was hissed by the populace, she called out from her carriage window— " Goot people, ye come for your goods !" " Yes, d— you, and chattels too," was John Bull's reply. It is amusing in the National, and the rest of that rabid party, to talk of reconquering the Rhine in one breath, and abjuring all conquest in the next ! All the revolu tionary conquests of France are not to be considered as having encroached upon Europe ;---and the loss of those conquests is an injury which France must retrieve, on the first occasion ! It is astonishing that language so entirely unreasonable should, by dint of mere repetition, have a certain popular force in France. It is still more astonishing that it should not be per ceived by our acute neighbours, that the threats of re• conquest completely unmask the promises of fraternity. Germany is no longer open to the voice of the charmer, to which she listened largely in 1792. (From the Standard.) The French Chambers arc summoned to meet on the 28th instant. The effect of the announcement of this early Session was a considerable fall in the price of the public securities, which had been previously depressed by an intimation that the King had given to M. Thiers a carte blanche upon the question of peace or war. It is undoubtedly but an ill compliment to the Chambers, that the expectation of their early meeting should diminish confidence in the public faith, or in the stability of the public resources ; and we can not imagine a more disgraceful censure passed upon a Minister than that practically pronounced upon M. Thiers when the enlargement of his power served as the signal for the despondency of all the pro• prietary classes. The censure upon M. Thiers is, however, perfectly just, as far as the individual is concerned, but we are very far from think ing, that the despondency by which that censure is expressed, has any other ground than in M. Tillers' esil dispositions. On the other hand, we think that the licence given to the Minister, and the responsibility imposed upon him by that license--eaccompanied as they are by an appeal to the Chambers—are obviously the mea sure which a wise and just man would resort to, in the difficult position in which the wicked conduct of M. Thiers has placed the King of the French. The license to M. Thiers is what we familiarly call in England " rope enough." The summoning of the Chambers is the appeal of the King to his people , against the Minister forced upon him by a faction. We are very much misled by the conduct of M. Thiers during the last three or four months, if he is pleased at the prospect of meeting the French Parliament. Indeed, his attempt to raise by a pre rogative process the funds for the fortification of Paris proves that he is not. Still more are we mis taken if the majority of the Chambers will be found to second his views. It is all very well to vapour in salons and estaminets about the glory of France (with which, by the way, nobody meddles), but when men arc called to commit themselves to measures the least injurious effect of which will be to depreciate the value of all property :30 or .50 per cent., without the remotest chance of an equivalent, the proprietary classes, who are almost the only classes represented in the Chambers, will be disposed to think twice. And the more honest and sagacious among them, knowing that France has been subjected neither to injury nor in sult, and, moreover, that France was never so rela tively weak as at this moment, will do their best to com pose the popular feeling, and to support the pacific views of the King. It is extremely probable too, that long he fore the Chambers can be well in session, that is, before the middle of next month, the easus belli will have disappeared ; that Mehemet Ali w ill e ith er have submitted, or retired into his Egyptian pachalic. For ourselves, upon the hypothesis that the King has really given the unlimited licens e which he is said to have given to M. Thiers, we can have no doubt that the assembling of the Chambers is annexed as a condi tion, and a condition, too, the Meister. by no me a n s p a l a t a ble to (From the Morning Post.) We are glad that the french Chambers are to meet so soon. Notwithstanding the ingenuity k- - f M. Tillers as a speechmaker, we trust he will in the Chamber meet with men capable of exposing his tracasserie, and de- nouncing his incapacity. W e use th e l a tt er wor d deli berately. M. Thiers is without capacity for the manage ment of affairs in the present crisis. Events have grown much more serious than he contemplates;—much more portentous than be has mind and feelings to com prehend. M. Thiers is undoubtedly a person of clever ness—a smart man for an impromptu reply in the Cham ber, or a pungent article in the newspapers ; but he is totally unfit to direct the affairs of a great nation in times of difficulty. To do this a man should have cou rage and calmness, moderation and firmness, and, above all, a lofty mind, devoted to national interests, but indifferent to personal considerations. Such a man M. Thiers certainly is not. He is a man who thinks, not of France and of Europe, but of himself and the petty interests of which he is the centre. He ma nceuvred, and [played a sort of political game with the Four Powers until they grew weary of it, and acted without him. He then perceived that he had got him self into a false position by his shuffling and insincere policy. The next thing to be done, therefore, was to shield himself from the consequences which would arise if the French nation should deliberately consider his failure and the reasons of it. The result of the policy of M. Thiers was, that the Four Great Powers of Eu rope had made an arrangement to which France was no party. She might have been a party if she pleased, but M. Thiers, hoping to effect something which it appears he could not effect, hung back. The Five Powers had met to change the status quo, because it was considered dangerous. M. Thiers, without avowing any distinct object, manoeuvred to preserve the status quo ; in other words, to prevent that from being done which the Five Powers (France being one of them) had met to do. At last four of the Powers, finding that the Government of M. Thiers could be brought to no point, determined upon doing among themselves that which they had hoped would have been done by the whole five in concurrence. That was the plain state of the case at the moment when the treaty of the 15th of July was communicated to the French Go vernment. M. Thiers felt, and had reason to feel, that this was a severe blow to him and to his policy. It was at once a defeat and a rebuke. How was he to prevent France from seeing this, and from regarding him with the contempt which his failure as a Minister so well deserved ? He set his journals to work to persuade the French nation that kis defeat was their defeat. He scrupled not to use the most inflammatory language in order to cause the French people to believe that they were affronted, when he well knew the simple fact to be that he had been foiled. The French being ' a highly sensitive people, and particularly apt to take fire at the merest supposition of an affront from foreign Powers, were imposed upon by this trick of the Minister. M. Thiers succeeded. The French public, instead of calling the Minister to account for his glaringly unsuccesful policy, were entirely occupied with the feeling of wounded national honour. The bloodthirsty, and yet cunning, partisans of revolution quickly perceived the advantage to be made of this state of the public mind, and directed all their energies to fan the flame which the journals of M. Thiers, for a mean and selfish purpose, had kindled. That flame has now risen to a national blaze, which seems but too likely to scorch all Europe. We are well satisfied that M. Thiers never wished nor expected that his clever device to save himself vt ould lead to such an extent of national excitement and peril. But the fire once set going, he had neither skill to direct nor power to ex tinguish. He is now tossed hither and thither by events a mere cock-boat upon the angry waves. He has not energy of mind nor weight of character, nor sincerity of purpose, to enable him to do what is needful at such a time. (From the Morning Herald.) Though it is no part of our case in opposing the policy of the British Government in the east, which has already baptised the new Holy Alliance in blood, to defend the condnct of France throughout its nego tiations with the Four Powers, we bold the opinion, and dare to assert it, that France has just as much right to defend Mehemet Ali against the aggressive policy 01 those Four Powers, as they have to seek his deposition ' and ruin. When we hear it asked, .• What right has France to stipulate on behalf of "Mehemet Ali ?" we an swer, the same right that the Four Powers pretend to rely upon in taking part with the Porte again s t hi m . They pretend to b actuated by motives of public po licy connected with the pacification of the east—the pre servation of the balance of power, and the welfare of Europe. France thinks that all those objects are better secured by leaving Mehemet Ali in peaceful pos session of Egypt and Syria, and by taking no step which will give the Russians a plausible pretext to occupy Constantinople. France says that the treats of London is calculated to disturb, and not to settle, the affairs of the east, and that its consequences, by giving an immense preponderance to Russia, will be injurious both to Asia and Europe. If such be the opinion of France, we say that that power has just as good a right to stipulate on behalf of Mehemet Ali as the other Powers have to combine for his downfall, and pursue him with fire and sword. But Mehemet Ali, say the Whig and Tory advocates of the Anglo- Russian alliance, is the vassal of the Porte, and is it not most immoral and dangerous to countenance, abet, or encourage a vassal against his legitimate Sovereign? To this we answer, if such policy be immoral and dan gerous, the Four Powers themselves have established the precedent, and, as far as their solemn acts could go to explain the law of nations, have made such very im moral and dangerous policy part of the public law ot Europe, both in reference to Belgium and Greece. In the one case they abetted and encouraged the vassals and subjects of the King of the Netherlands while they were in open rebellion against their Sovereign, Russia taking care to obtain for her share in recognising the rights rf sue cessfet l rebellion, some millions of English gold—aye, thanks to the subserviency of the Whig Ministers, to the influence and power of Russia, the Imperial destroyer of Poland was well paid for assisting to permanently dismember the dominions of the Dutch King, the " in tegrity" of which the same Power had been previously paid to protect. In the other case to which we have referred the somewhat short memories of tle advocates of the Anglo-Russian alliance, time Porte itself had a large portion of its dominions wrested from it, and con verted, under a nominally independent sovereignty, into a quasi province of Russia. Where were the rights ot the legitimate principle of authority respected in those examples? Are not those examples consecrated by all the solemn sanctity of treaties, by all the dignity of di plomatic aotes, and conferences, and protocols, among the deliberate acts which constitute the public law of Europe, or which explain it ? On what foundation rests the throne of Leopold of Belgium? —on what foundation that of Otho of Greece, but successful re bellion—rebellion which was countenanzed, abetted, and encouraged by the Four Powers who are parties to the crusade against the Egyptian chieftain ? (From the Morning Advertiser.) The illustrious Alfred, more justly esteemed the Great than, perhaps, any other Monarch that ever swayed the sceptre, was the first who saw that the real defence of England, and of the British islands in ge neral, was their sea-girt shores, and a maritime force to meet the invaders of the country upon the seas adjoining those shores. For this purpose, when he was completely defeated on land by the Danes, and had to take shelter in the cottage of the swine -herd, he had discretion enough to discover that there was no secu rity for his country, if those northern invaders were suffered to land ; because they, taking possession of the most favourable spots of the country, turned its own resources to the conquest of the remainder. There fore, before he attempted again to meet the Danes in the field, he organised a fleet all unknown to those atrocious spoilers, which, rendezvousing near the eastern extremity of the Isle of - Wight, advanced to meet them in battle array, and gloriously beat them in every encounter. Tbis was the real origin of the British navy—of that power which has enabled our em pire to command every sea which encircles the globe, and to give law to every maritime nation under the ca nopy of Heaven. Derived from so noble an origin— from that monarch who was the primogenitor of our law and our literature, shall we, in the present days—days in which Alfred would have gloried —see the machina tions of foreign, and we may add, contemptible enemies, seek to destroy in our harbours and arsenals those mari timeprotracting equipments which they dare not meet on the high seas?

Another source of rashness and risk arises from a desire to propitiate the multitude by the adoption of some course which may appear to them to tend towards war. The necessity of some naanseuvre of this kind, imposed upon France b y the fierce aid menacing tone of its press, sufficiently accounts for the unprecedented and dan gerous determination to which we yesterday alluded.

The Revising Barristers held their Courts yesterday at the Bush and Clarence Hotel, Staines, and revised the lists of voters for the parishes of Harniondsworth, Stanwell, Shepperton, Bedfont, Feltham, Littleton, Ashford, Laleham, and Staines. The only case of the slightest interest was that of George White, whose claim was objected to by the Reformers. He claimed for household property, and produced a lease of Walton-on-the-Thames Bridge. The bridge is freehold property. Mr. Coppock contended that the lease could only be considered a lease of the tolls. PARISHES.

WESTMINSTER. THE CASE OF MR. C. P. ALLEN,-JUDGMENT. Complainant—Never. She has sometimes comp home for clothes or money, and then she has got into a cab with a swell, who has been waiting for her, and cut away down the street laughing. It is not to be borne. The officers know her well. Mr. CRAIG gave judgment yesterday in the case of Mr. C. P. Allen, which was argued on Monday. Mr. Allen claimed to be registered on the scot and lot list of the voters for St-George's Hanover-square, as an inhabitant householder paying scot and lot. The objection to Mr. Allen was that he did not come under the denomination of an inhabitant householder, inasmuch as the premises in respect of which he claimed the right of voting were only occupied by himself and partners for the purposes of their profession, all of them residing in separate houses of their own. There were between forty and fifty gentlemen in the parish similarly situated, whose cases depended on the decision of the Learned Barrister in that of Mr. Allen. Mr. Craig, who has taken great pains in looking into all the authorities on the subject, yesterday gavejudgment,the result of which, in the words of Mr. Craig, is " that the names of Mr. C. P. Allen, and all those other householders of Westminster who were not, on the 31st day of July last, resident within this city or its liberties, and whose cases have been brought bafore me on that ground, must be expunged from the lists of voters, in respect of the ancient right ; but, of course, my decision does nct affect the title which the same individuals, or any of them, may have to remain on the lists of voters in respect of the now franchise." COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. IN TIIE MATTER OF JOSIAH TAYLOR. The LORD MAYOR—WeII, it is evidently a very bad business, and I think it would have been better if you had settled it out of Court. It you had set her a good example at first, instead of getting drunk, and allowing a filthy fellow to go into her bed, ycu would not probably be in this predicament. The complainant said that he would make her no al lowance, without being compelled by the parochial au thorities, and that he was justified in his refusal by her habits. Friday was the day fixed for the choice of assig nees in this bankruptcy. The bankrupt was described as a picture dealer, in business in Pall-mall. He went through this Court on a former occasion, and, some years back, was known as one of the largest shareholders in an extensive gaming -house near St. James's-street. He had, at that time, one of the most splendid man sions in Arlington-street, containing a collection of pic tures which was valued at from 80,0001. to 100,0001. The debts under the present fiat were about 5,0001., and the assets a quantity of pictures. The choice of assignees was contested, and several debts having been proved, Mr. Goddard, a solicitor for certain creditors, and a solicitor on behalf of another body of them, handed in lists, that of Mr. Goddard being less in amount than the other. A lad, named William Clarke, cellarman to Mr. Gardner, a wine merchant and public-house keeper, in Coleman-street, was charged with having stolen some segars and other property. The prisoner acknowledged that the segars found in his possession were the property of his master. In his trunk were found several penknives, a small quantity of type, which had been stolen from a printer's shop in the neighbourhood, and a few other articles, and the two precious books, " Jack Sheppard" and " Dick Tutpin," embellished with a great variety of wood -cuts, repre senting the gallant adventures of the first-rate thieves of that day.—The prisoner was remanded. Mr. Goddard objected to the appointment of Mr. Norton as assignee, on the ground that he had been canvassed by the bankrupt to undertake that trust, and he had promised to accept it. Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE said that canvassing of itself was not sufficient to disqualify a party canvassed to become an assignee ; but if he thought that Mr. Norton would not do justice, or if any reasons were stated why it was supposed he would not, he would have no objection to hear them, and refuse sanctioning his appointment. At present, however, nothing was before him to justify his pursuing such a course. Mr. Goddard stated that Mr. Norton was for delay ing the sale of the pictures, while the general wish of the creditors was, that they should be sold as soon as possible, and realise a dividend. A solicitor who attended for Mr. Norton said it was the wish of Mr. Norton, if he were appointed to the assigneeship, to do the best for the advantage of the creditors. He was considered to be an excellent judge of pictures, and every one must feel satisfied that much depended on the mode of sale in order to realise fair prices. Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE—Yes, that may be, but then the assignee must not be allowed to hold over the sale with the view of obtaining speculative prices ; on the contrary, it is his duty to realise as fast as pos sible, for every man in business knows that 2s. 6d. to day is better than ss. would be this day six months. The Official Assignee said that Mr. Norton was a most respectable man, and had acted extremely well in Mr. Taylor's last bankruptcy. Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE—Then I confirm the choice of Mr. Norton, of Soho-square, picture dealer. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS-FRIDAY BILL DISCOUNTING FRACAS. - Mr. J. Sig,gers, breeches maker, of Wych-street, Strand, was indicted for assaulting Mr. Brown on the 16th of June last. Mr. Bron; stated that he was an upholsterer in Sloane -street, and that the defendant had, before this occasion, discounted bills for him. The amount of the bill in June last was 131. 135., and the complainant lost 15 days in going after the money, and was about 41. out of pocket. Upon one occasion he waited in a public house two hours for Mr. Siggers, and they lunched to gether, but Mr. Siggers did not return, and his brother told him he had gone to Paddington. Complainant went to Paddington, and was induced to remain drink ing for two hours with the defendant in a public-house, and after all came away without the money, which he required to pay his men. On the 16th of June he in sisted on having the bill from Mr. Siggers, who ap plied several opprobrious epithets towards him, and said he wanted to fight him for 101. to 11. The de fendant then bent him over the counter, and caught hold of his nose, and twisted it round in a violent man ner. He also struck him upon the chest, and cut his nose and lip. He bad lost 1501. through the de fendant. Cross-examined—The bill was given for the clothes which he (Brown) had be,qi supplied with previously. Mr. Fair, hatter, of William -street, Borough, stated that he was passing the defendant's shop when the as sault took place, and he saw blood upon the complain ant's clothes. Tt.e Jury found the defendant Guilty, and the Court. sentenced the defendant to pay a fine of 203. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION.HOUSE. A young woman of genteel appearance, named Ca roline Garland, the wife of a hair-dresser, was charged by her husband with having broken two mirrors, and some panes of glass in the shop window. The complainant said that he had been married to the lady upwards of three years and they had not been together more than a year, when she began to play very strange pranks, such as staying out all nights, and some times for several days and nights, driving home at two oe three o'clock in the morning with swells, and knock ing up the house ; and, in fact, doing all those things which a married woman ought not to do. The particu lar act, however, of which witness complained occurred on the preceding night, when his wife drove up to the door in a cab, walked into the house and demanded money, upon being refused which she took hold of a pair of curling tongs, ran up stairs and smashed a mirrror, returned and broke another mirror, and concluded the business by dashing her hands through the shop window. Tho LORD MAYOR asked whether the woman was mad ? A customer of the shop said that he went In to be shaved, but the appearance of the lady disturbed the operation. He heard the noise of the mischief she committed above stairs, and to his dismay he witnessed her violence below. He had himself fears of her fttry, for she had threatened to cut him more than skin deep. The father of the young woman said that he had had more trouble with her than all the rest of his eight , children, but he had every reason to believe tint her I husband's fondness for gin was the cause of her miscon duct, for it happened that the gentleman vvhe rei l uired exemplary conduct from his wife A 7,44 i n th e - driving home in cabs At all hours helpleg.)- of upon one occasion the wife c.d -.y drunk, and husband, but aootba: - that not only her b ed ti'runkmeonrnf.eiunlula; were with her in W 1 11:-it line awoke in the The Lo Mr. Garland, yon don't come mto Court with clean hands yourself ? The corn- PlAitlAnt Said that he never had introduced any man to his wife's bed-room, but he admitted that he and a friend had gone home one night rather lushy, and that his friend in a mistake threw himself across the bed. Th e t • r 934, acknowledged th a t s h e h a d d one mis c4iet iq tke house, but she declared that she had been provoked to violence by the refusal of her husband to give her the means of support. She denied most solemn -1i! 01 0 she was the vile person her husband had de scribed her to be, and said that all she wanted was a separate maintenance. The complainant said that she never should have any maintenance from him. The Loan MAYOR—The parish officers will compel ' you to support her. I shah bind her over to keep the peace towards you, but you must make her an allowance. Mr. Turner (for the Tories) submitted that it vas a lease of a freehold, and that Mr. White, therefore, had a right to be placed on the Register. Mr. SHADWELL concurred in name was placed on the Register, The result of the day's proceet that opinion, and the lings was as follows :—• UNION HALL. A gentleman, named Wooley, was yesterday brought up before Mr. Trail, charged with annoying the family of a lady named Gay, residing at Champion-hill, by knocking at the door and ringing the bell, and other wise conducting himself in an offensive manner. From the statement of the gardener in the service of Mrs. Gay, it appeared that for the last six months the family of that lady had been exceedingly annoyed by the extraordinary conduct of the defendant. At the period above-mentioned the defendant having accident ally met with some of the females of the family in the neighbourhood where they reside, while they were out walking, followed them home, and having by this means ascertained their abode, has ever since continued to haunt the dwelling, and to make repeated inquiries after one of the young ladies. He has been frequently warned to keep away from the premises, and threatened even with personal chastisement if he persisted in calling at the house, and he (the gardener) on one occa sion, after having warned him not to be coming after his young mistresses, took the law into his own hands, and gave him a thrashing. The punishment, however, did not deter the defendant from repeating his visits, and when the female branches of the family ventured out they were certain to be dogged by their persevering tormentor, who not only followed them about the neigh bourhood, but also watched them to church on Sundays, and took up his station as near as possible to the pew in which the family sat, and kept gazing intently dur ing the service on those who occupied it. In fact, the nuisance had become so great that it was at length found absolutely necessary to adopt the present pro ceedings for the purpose of putting an end to such a system of annoyance. As Mr. Wooley refused to pledge his word that he would in future abstain from calling at Mrs. Gay's, the Magistrate fined him 40s. ; and the defendant, de clining to pay the fine, was committed for seven days to the House of Correction. When he was locked up in the cell at the rear of the court, he made a joke of the affair, and, laughing, said that the family would re lent at having placed him in such a situation, and that he was convinced, before five o'clock (at which hour all the prisoners are sent off in the van to gaol), the family (meaning Mrs. Gay's) would call at the court, pay the tine, release him from captivity, and take him home in their carriage, where he would have the ec static felicity of again beholding the adorable object of his affections. The hour for the departure of the van, however, arrived, and the defendant's anticipations not having been verified, he was included in the list of those who were conveyed away to gaol.
