THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 20, 1852.

Helena, %here, for six dreadful years, he was sub-
jected to every imaginable indignity, denied even the
empty solace of tbat august title which had been re-
cognized as valid by all the sovereigns of Christendom,

and which has again been accorded to his memory by

he grand voice of history, and by the unimpassioned
ludgment of a new but unforgetting generation. It

is with no feeble emotions,— therefore, we repeat,

that England now receives intelligence of the
heroic ABD.EL-KADER's liberation. The incident
however accomplished, is in itself one eminently cal-
culated to command the popular admiration. Con-
trived, however, as it was, at a moment of peculiar
interest, and under circumstances of a singularly
graceful character, the event is unquestionably one
which appeals to the noblest feelings of human nature,
It will be long and honourably remembered. It will
be recounted in terms of cordial and unaffected eulo-
glum by the future annalists of Europe. It will be
said by after historians—it may even be said by Sir
ARCHIBALD ALISON in ths course of his great work
now preparing for publication—that the simple event

Of A BD-EL KADEIeB liberation was nuble, but that
the manner iu which it was first announced to
the prisoner, enhanced the grace and grandeur

of the act as one of distinguished magnanimity.

The announcement it will have been seen from

our impression of yesterday, was, according to
the official narrative of the illoniteur, prson-

ally conveyed to the captive of the Chateau d'Am-

boise in those touching words : "AnD• EL.KADER-I
come to inform you of your liberation." The Emus
was " deeply moved," says the narrative : and no
wonder—for the address throughout was one emi-
nently calculated to touch the fibres of his hero-heart.
" You are to be taken to Broussa, in the States of the
SULTAN," said his liberator, "as soon as the necessary
preparations shall have been made ; and you will re-
ceive there from the French Government an allow-
ance worthy of your former rank." The preparations

alluded to are evidently those undertaken by M.
BAcciocHl in his present mission—manifestly from
the first, one of an extraordinary kind—to the city of
Constantinople. " You are aware," were the generous
words addressed, in continuation, to the Arabian cap-

tive—" you are aware that for a length of time
your captivity has caused me a real affliction,
for it incessantly reminded me that the Government

which preceded me had not observel the engage

ments entered into towards an unfortunat3 enemy ;
and nothing in my eyes is more humiliating for the
Government of a great nation than to misunderstand
its force to such a point, or to fail in its promise."
A bitter but deserved judgment pronounced upon the
Government of France by the ORLEANS' dynasty—a
judgment expressed in language of solemn and memo-
rable condemnation. " Generosity is always the best
counsellor," were the words that thrilled next in
the ears and to the heart of ABD-EL-KADER, "and I
am convinced that your residence in Turkey will not
prove injurious to the tranquillity of our possessions
in Africa :" to which the Emit subsequently re-
sponded by swearing upon the Koran that be would
never again trouble French rule in Algeria, adding
that he would submit unreservedly, without any
concealed design, to the will of the French Govern-
ment. " Your religion, like ours," added the lofty
address announcing to ADD -BL-KADER the fact
of his liberation, "your religion, like ours, enjoins
submission to the decrees of PROVIDENCE-but if

France is mistress of Algeria, the reason is, that GOD
willed it to be so, and the French nation will never
give up that conquest. You have been the enemy of
France," were the concluding words addressed to the
prisoner of Amboise by his liberator, " but I not the
less render justice to your courage, to your character,
and to your resignation in misfortune. That is the
reason, why I consider it a point of honour to put an
end to your captivity, having full confidence in your
word." A noble act, nobly accomplished—and one
which will redound to the glory of France, when the
memory of ABD-EL-KADER shall be but one of the
hero-names of antiquity; and when the Chateau
d'Amboise n=ay be pointed out as the picturesque
ruins, in whiCo, long ago, in the nineteenth century,
the falsehood of an Orleans' Sovereign was in this
historical and affecting interview, expiated by an
'et of princely ;estice nassvnanimite-
All friends of civil and religious liberty, of a good
government, and an active commerce, must desire the
heartiest union between England and her transatlantic
offspring. One in origin, in language, in literature,
in our common law, and substantially, also, in cur
common capacity fur municipal and constitutional
government—one in the souvenirs even of the past,
save the great quarrel in which half of England's best
and greatest men wished success to the Colonists; one,
we may truly say, even in our religion itself, accord-
ing to Lord Bacon, " the great bond of human life,"
—for their sects are nearly all offsets of our own :
no two great nations of the world have so many
points of union, or are so capable of acting together
for their own common good and the good of the
human race. In capacity for self-government the
French are obviously a century behind us both, and
whatever the refinement and civilization of our vola-
tile neighbours, it is not of a kind to blend easily with
the more practical and steady energy of the English
character. JONATHAN indeed differs from us in man-
ners. If Mr. DISRAELI wants, as we hope he will, an
enlarged staff of Income-tax collectors, America
could supply us with any number, who would
ask us without a blush how many dollars we
were worth ; nor will our genuine Yankee fail to
instruct you in the great superiority of every
" States' man" to every Englishman ; while the
Frenchman will indulge any amount of vanity with-
out lowering you. JONATHAN is both rude and
proud—the Frenchman only vain, but polite withal.
JONATHAN affronts us twenty times, and seals our lips
in haughty silence, or, at best, opens them in curt
replies, where Monsieur would only amuse us ; and
yet we like Jonathan best. There is true English
blood in him, after all; we can trust him better.
We can sympathize with him more easily. He is
not prouder at heart than Germans and Frenchmen
think half their English visitors; but he is just
foreigner enough to treat us with a little of our own
self-importance. The chief difference is, that he, not
being yet out of his national teens, though over-
topping in stature so many of the older nations, feels
obliged to tell us that he is the man be is, while we as
his parent can take our manhood for granted. We
lova him heartily notwithstanding these little things;
and being got now far too big for the cane, we must
wait patiently for his mature age to cure him of all
his nonsense.
There is, however, one vice—an inherited one,
alas I—which in many ways does more to destroy unity
of sentiment between England and America than all
other minor faults or follies on either side. Slavery
is the malady, the cherished malady, which can never
be otherwise than loathsome to English feeling. From
the times of WILBERFORCE and CLARKSON, with their
noble band of coadjutors, all but a few interested men
have imbibed an ineradicable hatred of slavery. Ever
since the question has been mooted in English courts
of justice, the Bench and an applauding nation have
argued that a man could not set his foot on the Bri-
tish shores, and remain a slave. We glory in British soil,
as possessing a nobler treasure than California, or than
any portion of the United States—every foot of it can
turn a
slave into a man. Nor is this mere national
vanity. The great body of the people fought a long
and hard battle with a powerful and wealthy interest,
mighty in Parliament by boroughmongering and bri-
bery, and rather than retain a slave in the least island
of our dominions, it added 20,000,000/. to its already
enormous debt ! Americans must allow that we have
shown, by the best of all tests, self-sacrifice, an inex-
tinguishable hatred of slavery. The United States,
however, cling to and that, too, under many
damnatory circumstances. It flies in the face of their
celebrated Deed of Independence, which declares that
all men are born free and equal. It convicts their at-
tachment to that deed of the grossest hypocrisy and
selfishness. Slavery is attended in the Southern States
with its worst and most revolting cruelties and evils.
-We need not recount the horrors of the whip, the chain,
and all kinds of bodily punishment ; of the unbridled
licentiousness of masters, and their selling their own
offspring, perhaps most readily. Of the cruel separa-
ti sus of husbands, wives, and families.. Of the impos-
.
sit 'in ty of redress when the evidence of the coloured
ma nis rejected. All these tales of horrors, though
but too true, make up but one-half the mischief.
WI )at we most deeply deplore, is its working in the
free- States themselves. Idolizing, as they do, the

Union, there seems to be no moral price which they

will not pay to preserve it. At one time, a fugitive
_ .

slave had some chance if he once croszed into the free
States. Benevolence could then aid him till he reached
British soil. But that most disgraceful of modern
enactments, the Fugitive Slave Law, dispelled the
last glimmer of universal freedom from the free

States. Free States, indeed, exist no longer. Slave-
holding and slave•catching States is now the only

difference. Over some twenty degrees of latitude,
and more than as many of longitude, a man is a
thing, a chattel, a saleable commodity. The whole

United States is the land of the slave. Law requires
the freeman there to aid in returning to his purchaser
the man (slave we should say) who pants for free•

dom ; it fines and imprisons the freeman who aids
his escape ;—it bribes the judge before whom lie
is taken with a double fee if he gives him up to his
infuriated pursuers, and it places the question of the
fact of his freedom in the hands of that bribed judge,
not in those of a jury. All Christendom feels th a
law to be an affront on its moral sentiments and its
common civilization. It must be abolished ; nothing
so horrible exists even in Austria or Tuscany ; and
justly did M. HULSEMANN, when Mr. WEBSTER lec-
tured Austria on despotism, lecture that low-prin-
cipled politician on the vile slavery of America. Yet,
we are sorry to say, this iniquitous law found innu-
merable defenders in the Free, or as we must now
call them, the slave-catching States. Reverend Doc-
tors of Divinity and Professors of Moral Philosophy
in Colleges pleaded for obeying a law to do iniquity.
The clergy of every denomination were excusing it
from the pulpit; or, at least, advocating obedience to
it while it was law, though making no effort at elec-
tions, or otherwise, to get it repealed; and after a few
violent efforts of fugitives to resist at first, the passive
North began to slumber in the political embraces of
the South. England witnessed the spectacle with
settled, but half laci;2less, disgust. When an English-
man went into America, he found the negro an object
of aversion ; of the aversion which the oppressor feels
for the victim he wrongs and depresses, but whose will

he can never quite subdue. Scarcely anything gave
signs of amendment. The noble, indignant voice of
CHANNING was silent in the grave ; eloquence was
left, but not like his. Statesmen and clergymen,
more sickening in their apologies for slave laws than
the statesmen themselves, seemed banded together.
At last a woman with a little book
a book of tales—" of fiction founded on fact"—sud-
denly appeared on the scene. HARRIET BEECHER
STORE, with her " Uncle Tom's Cabin," has com-
pletely awakened the States, and completely shamed
the Senators and the Parsons. With a kind of spe-
cial inspiration by the genius of liberty, of religion,
and of romance at once, she has pictured the thing
to every man and woman who had a heart to feel.
Faults some may find in her little book—others will
think these faults beauties,—her gift was to write
with a charm for all, with nothing that could much
displease any. The power of her appeal lay in the
verisimilitude of her descriptions. At first a whisper
was heard of exaggeration—it died away. Every
reader felt, that—given human nature, and the slave
laws of America—and the worst she has described is
but nature itself. It is as vain to deny the truth of
SHAKSPERE'S portraits as Of HARRIET BEECHER
STOWE'S. While novels stand on English book-
shelves, and when slavery, as a fact, shall have long
passed away, this little faithful miniature of the great
abomination will still be read. It is not our purpose,
however, to write an eulogium of a book over which
most of our readers have laughed most heartily, though
they certainly dropped tears also. It is rather our object
to shake hands with the Americans over it. With
them it has been as popular as with us. Their cordial
welcome of it shows that they and we are in heart
one. There was more soundness at the core than was
supposed—more disposition to welcome a book which
rebuked the slave-catchers as well as the slave-hold-
ers, but spoke kindly of all, and most kindly of the
negro, than we had supposed. " Uncle Tom " will
cement good fellowship between the thousands of
native Americans and the hundreds of our country-
men who visit them by our ocean steamers. We
value the book for this. We think, moreover, that it
must attain its object. C"A.NNING spoke to them like
a mon. nignr worm. rub ...—,ranty
pure for imitation. Abolition Societies irritated by
their strong, though just language ; but " Uncle Tom"
fills the imagination, and takes captive the heart, and
the judgment too. It seems almost an honour to sur-
render to it—almost a disgrace to profess insensibility.
Never have slaveholders before, never will they again
hear the "truth so spoken in love" as it is in " Uncle
Tom's Cabin." Most heartily do we wish, therefore,
success to the authoress in her noble attempt. Wo-
men have been chief actors in many a revolution;
may she be among the foremost in one of the most
desirable the world has yet to witness !
America has (apart from the plague.spot of
slavery) a noble future. Already she is per-
haps the most energetic nation upon earth ; she
will soon be the most populous. With a country
that commands both oceans, rivers, and lakes without
parallel, a climate suited to almost every product of
the earth; a population as yet nearly free from pau-
perism; no national debt, and entire self-government;
and a thorough-going Religious Freedom, which Lord
CARLISLE himself declared he quite envied—what
could hinder the advance of such a country, but the
crippling, enfeebling disease of slavery ? It is this
which paralyzes all her political principle, which ut-
terly destroys her moral weight as a nation, and
which prostrates half her States, before any enemy
who could put a few thousands of muskets into the
hands of her slaves. Slavery it is which corrupts her
in peace, which would enfeeble her in war; which
lessens the cordiality of her intercourse with really
free England, and which places her on lower ground
before the nations of the Old World. Let America
emancipate her slaves ; let her make a sacrifice such
as we did, if needful, to duty, and the hearty about
of approval from England would do more to cement
good feeling between the two countries than all the
diplomacy of our most friendly Statesmen.

As Englishmen, we wish to give even Mr. PRYNNE
his due, and the Bishop of EXETER his also. About
a month ago we felt constrained to denounce the at-
tenspt of the former to introduce the impurities and
priestly tyranny of the Roman Confessional into the
Church of England. Being so unfortunate as to be
able to decipher the Latin of DENS and LIGUORI, we
have seen with our own eyes the unbearable prurience
of thought imparted to Romish confessors, for the be-
nefit of such wives and virgins as their husbands and
fathers will suffer to enter the Confessional ; and we
told, and we tell again, these Anglican confessors,
that if they are to be tolerated in their practices, and
if their number is to increase, it is all over with the
Church of England. The result of the extra-judicial
investigation by the Bishop of EXETER of the charges
against Mr. PRYNNE, was so utterly discordant with
the evidence produced on the occasion—" an acquittal
of even indiscretion," " freedom from all blame," " a
hope that many young sinners had been reclaimed by
him !"—that Mr. P.'s accusers could hardly remain
satisfied and quiescent. They convened, accordingly,
a most respectable meeting, by a requisition compris-
ing, it appears, the signatures not only " of 19 clergy-
men, but two admirals, two generals, three colonels,
the and
Mayora yr army
of
othero
u s
ranks,
anofficerss,
five
justices o f Her MAJESTY'S
of DEVONPORT, four physicians, one banker of great
opulence, and solicitors without number." This at
of the peace,
e
rous meeting collected by such an invitation, after a
resolution affirming that " the confession as practised
at St. Peter's Church, Plymouth, and sanctioned by
the Bishop, is characterized by the most revolting
features of the Romish Confessional "—another was
moved by the Rev. IL A. GREAVES, seconded by
Captain AYLMER, R.A., " That the system of confes-
sion carried on at St. Peter's, Plymouth, is contrary
to the doctrine, practice, aad spirit of the Church
of England." threat, HENRY of Exeter takes spe-
cial umbrage. The Confessional might be as Popish
as the first resolution &pones, but that its Popery
should be contrary to the doctrine, &c., of the Angli-
can Church, that is quite another thing ! In that case
the Bishop and his Tractarian clergy must walk the
plank of preferment, and the Evangelicals and the
Moderates completely man the good ship. His Lord•
ship, therefore, in a letter which we gave last Satur-
day, summonses the mover of the resolution to try
the question fairly in the Archbishop of CANTERBURY'S
Court. He will, himself, by letters of request trans-

fer the cause at once from his own Diocesan Court to
the important (?) one of the Archbishop. By a little
management, the expenses need not be very heavy.
and wealthy and respectable as the requisitionists
are, they can have no difficulty in meeting them.
Well done, my Lord ! Not tired of Ecclesiastical
Courts yet. Poor Mr. SHORE you did certainly
get into gaol by his somewhat quakerish resolution
not to pay your Court fees; but there he is, at Berry

Pomeroy, still at work—you have not put him down.
Mr. GORHAM too; why, he even got a locus standi
both in the Articles and Formularies of your Church
and in your own diocese too! What, law again then?
Another trip not only through the Arches' Court, but
up to the Judicial Committee of Privy Council, for
to that it must come. However, as we said, we must
give you and your pet Confessor your due, and we
must own that if you demand it ; your censors can
hardly evade the demand to try it on. You have
stripped them of the plea of expense ; they have
fairly gained one battle at least against you ; it ought
to be two out of three. If they beat you in this
game to which they are now challenged, why, then,
of course, you'll give in ; but if you beat, you'll
pledge your word, my Lord—won't you?—to give
them very soon an opportunity for the third and
deciding battle. One thing we only wish to whisper
in your Lordship's ear: if Mr. GREAVES beats you,
why your party will receive a most sore discourage-
ment ; but if you beat Mr. GREAVES, if you prove
that the Church of England is a Church of the Con-
fessional, you will assuredly turn hosts of moderate
Churchmen and moderate Dissenters into implacable
Anti-State Churchmen; and the Church of England,
as it is, will become a !natter of history.

A numerous and highly respectable meeting of
members of the Metropolitan and Provincial Law
Society was last week held at the town-hall, Derby,
many gentlemen attended from considerable distances,
and evinced a very creditable anxiety to carry out the
objects of the association. This is as it should be. It
is exceedingly desirable that legal practitioners should
cordially co-operate together—not for the purpose of
perpetuating abuses, or of retarding those salutary re-
forms now deemed essential by all unprejudiced and
disinterested persons—but rather to aid and assist in
placing the administration and practice of the law on
the soundest foutdation, alike beneficial to the pro-

ression, and to the community. We have always fel
•

that the interests of Solicitor and client were one and
indivisible—that it would be deeply injurious to
society in general to deprive a body in whom unlimi-
ted confidence is almost necessarily reposed of the
fair and legitimate remuneration by which the services
of men of character and efficiency alone can be ob-

tained. Any attempt to degrade the profession must
necessarily recoil on its authors.
The very able speech of Mr. SIIAW placed this
quesgon in its true light. The advantages to be
derived from frequent communications between
the society and its members were clearly and
distinctly explained. There are few practi-
tioners who will not at some time or other become
acquainted with cases forcibly illustrating some
of the evils of the existing system, and indicating
the nature of a suitable remedy. The commu-
nication of such matters to the committee of an
influential society, ensuring due consideration
to the details, a comparison of the experience of dif-
ferent members, on similar points, and where advis -
able full publicity, must necessarily prove beneficial.
Metropolitan and provincial members should direct
their attention to these purposes, exerting them-
selves energetically to promote the honour, the cha-
racter, and the dignity of the profession, and to ex-
pose and punish the incompetent and unqualified
pretenders who usurp positions to which they have
no legitimate claim, and who, by their ignorance and
misconduct, seriously injure the prospects of those
who repose unmerited confidence in such unworthy
quarters. " A-penny-wise-and-pound-foolish econo-
my" is peculiarly injudicious, on the part of those
iyho have the misfortune to be involved in litigation
of any description. The best advice is always the
cheapest in the long run, and those who profess
to work at less than the usual rates, will find means
of extracting much larger sums from the pockets of
eheir clients than would be required by the most re •
“pectable ..$ while the victim may too late find
that fortune, character—all, in fact, that renders life
desirable—may be materially damaged by his unwise
selection.
But while thus strongly approving of the general
objects of the Society, and urging on the different
members of the profession, in all parts of the country,
the propriety of increasing its efficiency " by extended
numbers, funds, and efforts," we cannot but lament
a tendency on the part of some of the speakers to as-
sume an attitude of hostility towards the Bar—to
sneer at and undervalue the acquirements of that dis-
tinguished body. Some gentlemen appeared desirous
of fusing the two branches into one—or rather
of annihilating the Bar, and giving
an undivided
influence to solicitors. "Every right and privilege"ndivied
d
now belonging to the Bar should be extended to soli-
citors, while any invasion by the former should be
immediately repelled. The line of demarcation should
ligithtlte boef nfaegirineecstesdoranrdeouipnrtohcoiutyghitn othf.eseTshoegrgeesi-s
be strictly guarded on the one side, while on the other
bitutin
tions, nor are they calculated to promote the welfare
of society.

The separation of the functions belonging to the
different branches) of the legal profession, the strict
adherence of each to their own particular lines, and
the efficient discharge of the duties for which their
education and training peculiarly qualify them, is of
the utmost importance, not only to the parties them.
selves, but to the community in general. Those
persons who endeavour to sow dissension where
there should be friendship and cordiality, who
attempt to set barrister against attorney, or
attorney against barrister, or to exalt their
own branch at the expense of their neigh-
bours, are acting not only in an injudicious but in a
very reprehensible manner. The question of the re-
spective rights of both parties can only be settled on
the broad basis of public interest. In the present
times, no body of men, however influential, can hope
to maintain a monopoly injurious to their neighbours.

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
The sales of cotton at Liverpool, yesterday, were
estimated at 8,000 bales, of which 2,000 American,
and 1,000 Surat were taken on speculation. The
market was firm, but less animated. The sales com-
prised 7,000 American, 100 Pernam and Maranhani,
at 64 to 7id. ; 100 Bahia, at Qd. to 7d.; 500
Egyptian, at bid. to 101.; and 1,500 Surat, at 4d.
to Sid. Railway Shares were steady.
At the indigo auctions yesterday 3,646 chests passed,
of which 2,978 were withdrawn, 300 bought in, and
368 sold at:previous rates. The sales conclude.jthis

afternoon.
Tne colonial wool sales are still going off briskly,
at steady quotations.
The proceedings of the Frankfort Senate abolishing
the law of 1849, which gave political equality to the
Hebrews in that free town, are a further exemplifica-
tion of the tyrannical and reactionary policy of the
German potentates. In Frankfort, so absurdly styled
a "freistadt," there are now three garrisons, viz., the
Austrian, the Prussian, and Bavarian. The Senate
of Frankfort, it is but fair to conclude, would
be too happy to maintain the Jewa in all
:heir former privileges, well aware that the
town owes a large share of its prosperity to
their residence. The wealth, enterprize, and or-

derly character of the Jews, render them pecu-
liarly fit for all the public duties and offices
that they have hitherto been called upon to per-
form ; but the " Bund," in its jealousy or its de•
termination to crush everything that savours of liber-
ality, has decided that things shall revert to their
position, as existing in the year 1815, and the luckless
Senate has but to comply. We can scarcely say
what may be the issue, but a Hamburgh journal an-
nounces that .57 of the greatest Israelite families,
including M. Anslem Rothschild and the Consul of
Modena, M. B. H. Goldschmidt, have resolved to
leave the place and establish themselves elsewhere.
This may or may not be true, but it is precisely the
retaliation that should fall upon all narrow-minded
States.

ing their Government upon the subject of the com-
mercial rupture with France.
The Amsterdam Stock Market, on the 18th inst.,

" Dear Sir,—l have great pleasure in acknowledging
the receipt of your obliging letter of the 4th July, and
its inclosures, and shall feel mach obliged to be per-
mitted to offer through you, the expression of the high
gratification with which I have received the copy of the
resolution which you were good enough to sand me in
acknoowledgment, on the part of the body of the Bue-
nos Ayrean bondholders, of my humble efforts to en-
deavour to obtain for them their just and long pending
claims, and which I will not fail to exert so long as I
have the power to do so, until a final settlement is
arrived at.—l am, dear Sir, Sec.,
"(Signk-d) ROBERT GORE"
The English stock-market has been scarcely up to
yesterday's highest point, and there is less speculative
business doing. As long, however, as it is known

been 100 f to f for transfer, and 100 k for account.

kind, here must inevitably be a decided turn against
the sellers, as only a few jobbers can deal in stocks
bearing such a high value. Exchequer Bills have

Consols now are 1001 f.
There is great agitation still in the market for
Turkish scrip, and the rumours as to the cause are as
contradictory as ever. If the loan has been infor-
mally made, the Ambassador of the Ottoman Porte
at Paris would be inculpated, having signed the bonds ;
but in truth, we believe the opposition made by the
two Ministries that are said to have resigned is
chiefly political, end possibly owing to Russian and
Austrian influence. Spanish Deferred Stock is at

Caledonian, Aberdeen, North British, Midland,

up very well. French Shores are firm.
