The Middlesex Magistrates so seldom afford k.ts op-
portunities of cougratulating them upon the liberality
of their aggregate judici*l vas, that it would he quite
inexcusable in us to vinit directing the esperitd attention
of our readers to the occasions upon which they mani-
fest an intelligence co-equal with what is demanded
of them by their office, and by the increasing diffusion
of moral and political knowlttlge among the people.
We arc aware that, individually, many of the Middlesex
Magistrates are men of most liberal and enlightened
views ; but taken as a body, their judicial conduct is,
for the most part, marked by a narrow sectarian spirit
—by an Agnezvite horror of dancing on week days,
and of innocent Sabbath evening recreations of every
kind. But though they are opposed to Sunday ram-
bling through green fields, we are rejoiced to find that
they are not, therefore, indifferent to the right of free-
dom of conscience. In our report of their annual in-
quiry into the state of the House of Correction—
which will be found in another part of The Sun—an
account is given of their refusal to receive the Report
of the Rev. Chaplain, because he had dared to re-
ject the Catholic Prayer-books sent to Catholic prison-
ers, and to substitute in their stead a Bible and the
book of Common Prayer. To the credit of the Bench
there was no division of opinion upon this point—
there was no bigot to justify the conduct of a narrow-
minded, meddling, proselytising Priest, prepared to
take advantage of the crimes of a fellow-creature to
compel his renunciation of the faith of his fathers—
to rob the wretched of the only consolation left them
—that of sincere repentance. What could a culprit in
the House of Correction learn of the dogmas of
a Church, which he only knew to be opposed
to his own? Man cannot thus substitute faith for
faith ; and the wretch so coerced may be made to add
hypocrisy to his other crimes ; but he can neither share
in the convictions, nor taste of the consolations of true
religion. But the conduct of the Chaplain ought to
be further inquired into ; and if it be proved that any
Catholic has died in prison without being allowed to
obtain the last rites of the Catholic Church, the Ma-
gistrates are bound to dismiss him.

Despatches from Madrid of the 18th inst., have
been communicated to the French Government. They
are, however, of less importance than we had been
prepared to expect from the relative positions of the
main bodies of the Christino and Carlist armies on the
13th. They are as follow :

" Bayonne, Oct. 22, 3 P.M.
" Madrid, Oct. 18.
" On the 14th Espartero came up with the Carlists near
Huerta del Rey, and defeated them. Their cavalry suf-
fered particularly. On the 15th Don Carlos was at Quin-
tana de la Sierra, and the head-quarters of Espartero were
at Ontario del Pinar. He announces that he is in active
pursuit of the enemy, who was completely routed by the
check he had received on the preceding day."
" Bayonne, Oct. 24.
" Espartero announces that, after having beaten the
Carlists near Huerte del Rey on the 14th, and having fol-
lowed them to Quintana the 13th, he would pursue them
the ensuing day.

" The Captain-General of Aragon was warned from Lo.
grono that ten Carlist battalions, coming from Castile, had
arrived on the evening of the 18th, in the environs of Aro,
intending to pass the Ebro. He also learned that the
Carlists, pursued by Espartero, had passed on the 17th by
Montenegro.

" General Ulibarri retook Peralta on the 16th, making
part of the garrison prisoners. The rest flung away its
arms, and ran for Estella. This General marched towards
Lodosa."

" PERPIGNAN, OCT. 24, EVENING.--On the 15th Baron
de Meer dissolved the National Guard of Barcelona, with
a view to its re-organization. Pastor replaces Puig as
second in command of the province, and Captain Chacon,
of the navy, as governor. On the 16th Baron do Meer
forbade the detention or sale of arms without express li-
cense. The majority of votes at Barcelona on the 17th
was in favour of the moderate party."

_ .
From the second of these dispatches it would ap-
pear that Don CARLOS proposes to establish his
winter quarters in the Basques. His Navarrese troops
are daily threatening to desert, unless they are led back
to their native mountains. Besides, it is impossible
for the Pretender to remain in Castile, hunted as he is
in every direction, and without a single depot of either
arms or provisions, or a fortress, from the battle-
ments of which he could bid defiance to the Constitu-
tional army.

The following is the official account of the victory
gained by Brigadier Don JAIME CORBO over the
Catalonian rebels at Vich, dated the 2d inst. It is
copied from the Madrid Gazette of the 15th :
" Captain-Generalship of the Army of the Principality of

Catalonia.
" The following communication has been received this
morning by the Brigadier second in command in this prin-
cipality, from the Commandant-General of the first divi-
sion, Don Jaime Corbo, dated Vich, October 2, and is as
follows :
" ' Last night I received positive information that Tris-
tany, Zorilla, Mallorca, and others had arrived at the village
of Manleu, with their followers, to the number of 3,500 in-
fantry, and upwards of 100 cavalry, boasting that they de-
sired to attack the division under my command. At a still
later hour I heard from the mili*;iry governor of this town
that they had been reignv!':ii by two battalions more, com-
manded by the tr.;.t3r Bierjo, and that they were loud in
proclaiming ',..eeir intentions of attacking me. To save them
this t:Ouble, I marched at six in the morning with my divi-
-1
sion, consisting of 2,600 infantry, and 100 cavalry, in-
cluding four companies of the third free battalion, corn.
mantled by Lieutenant-Colonel Don Luis Barrera, to the
village of Manleu. The position appeared strong, and the
bridge occupied in good order by nearly twice the number
of forces which I commanded. To see them, attack them,
and defeat them, was but the work of a minute. With
loud vivas for Isabel IL, freedom, and the constitution, we
took possession of the bridge and village so rapidly that the
artillery drawn up to clear the bridge and streets could not
fire a shot. I ordered the cavalry and infantry to charge with
vigour, the latter with the bayonet, which was executed with
the utmost rapidity and effect, leaving 400 dead bodies in a
narrow space, an innumerable quantity of arms and accoutre-
ments, and 119 prisoners. Amongst these were several
officer!, including the rebel Mallorca. A number of friars
also lost their lives on the occasion, their clothes and habits
having been found on the field. Thirty Americans, and
various prisoners who had been previously taken prisoners
by the factious, deserted to us.
" This action has been the more glorious inasmuch as
our loss has not been more than three or four killed 16
wounded, two horses killed, and two others wounded ;
while the loss of the enemy in killed, wounded, and priso-
ners amounts to upwards of 1,000 men, and the complete
dispersion of the remainder."
From returns published by the local authorities around
Vich of the number of the dead buried in several church-
yards after the battle it appears that the numbers killed
amounted to 588 ; the muskets taken to 1,000, prisoners to
131, and the deserters who came over to 30 men.
We have no other news from the Spanish capital,
which was perfectly tranquil. No confirmation of the
capture of Cantavieja by General ORAA has yet been
received.

The Paris journals of Wednesday, the whole of
which we have received, bring no, further details
of the capture of Constantine. The KING has ordered
that the remains of General DAMREMONT shall be
conveyed to France and deposited in the vault of the
chapel of the Hotel des Invalides, where a solemn
High Mass will be sung for the repose of the souls of
the French killed before Constantine. A despatch received
by the Government announces that the Duke de NE-
MOURS was by the side of the General when he was
killed in the act of leading the Army by his gallant
example. Orders have been issued to inquire into

this matter, that France may testify her StrISC of the
bravery of his RoYAI.

remont is now 15 years of age. Among the dicers who
accompanied his Majesty to the Cathedral of Versailles to
assist at the Te Deum was General Dubreton, who distin•
guished himself by his brilliant defence of I3urgos against
the English army. The attack of the besiegers was re-
pelled seven times, and there were three breaches open in
the walls at the same moment. This obstinate resistance
of the General was duly appreciated by his noble enemy,
the Duke of Wellington, who at a subsequent period,
dining in public with General Dubreton, at Strasburg, paid
him the compliment of saying, in the presence of a nume-
rous assembly—' General, I had much rather have you by
my side than on my front.'
Now that the French have Constantine they natu-
rally enough begin to ask themselves what they will
do with it? We cannot undertake to help them to
a solution of so important a question. It has already
cost them five times more than it is really worth ; and
so long as they retain it, the expense of keeping it
must fall heavier and heavier upon France. Perhaps
there is not in the world a people that understand
so little of the principles of colonization as the French.
This is not unknown to themselves, and therefore the
more reflecting among them anticipate anything but
national advantage from the triumphs of the French
flag in Africa.
M. LAIIITTE, whose new Banking Speculation is
so generally canvassed in all the journals, has ad-
dressed the following letter to the Editor of the Siecle
in answer to an attack made upon him by the Presse.
We have only to remark upon it, that M. LAYITTE
has most unquestionably deserted the political principles
which he maintained when placing LOUIS PHILIPPE
on the throne of France, whatever he may assert to
the contrary. We judge him by his acts; not by his
professions. Indeed from the tenour of his letter if
would appear that he contrived to keep the Court in
good humour with him, even when bawling the loudest
against its corruptions and its despotical tendencies.
This on the face of it does not look well :
" Mr. Editor,—The Pressc, Morning Paper, contained
a few days ago the following article :—• The close political
association which has just been formed by M. Jacques La-
fitte with Messrs. Gamier Pages and De Cormenin, can no
longer leave any doubts upon the minds of the clear-sighted
as to the nature of the bank established with 50,000,000
capital. There is not any possibility of being deceived ; it
is not a bank—it is not a money-office—it is a revolution
got up in shares!' My associates and shareholders were
desirous of having this article brought before the courts of
justice ; but I could not muster up wrath enough within
me to be of their way of thinking. The best court of
justice in such a case is the tribunal of public opinion, and
the sympathetic feeling evinced on all sides has already suf-
ficiently avenged me. Our factious enemies who grasp at
power have proved that they are reduced to the sorry neces-
sity of supporting themselves by defamation, calumny, and
falsehood, and my financial establishment will only remain
the more firmly fixed as a work of conservation and social
progress : for commerce and industry have long since known
that I never should associate them with any revolutionary
schemes. lam well aware that I shall always have to meet
with envy, and jealousy, which no efforts of mine could
disarm. In 1816, when I caused the system of public credit
to triumph, which disembarrassed the country of foreign
troops, they said that I was conspiring for the Duke of
Orleans and the republic. Now, that I endeavour to de-
velop° all the resources of private credit, they say that I
am associating myself with the republicans to overthrow
that which I was desirous of erecting in 1830! Opposi-
tion,' said Louis XVIII. in addressing me,' is one of the
elements of government which I have given France ; in
your hands it is an instrument of improvement, and will
never, lam assured, be an instrument of disorder.' What
were my words on the 29th of July, in the hour of peril,
at the bead-quarters of the revolution, before its illegitimate
heirs of to-day had dared to show themselves ? They were
as follows Napoleonists, your hour is past. Republi-
cans, your hour is not yet come !' And the Duke of Orleans
was proclaimed ; he was not proclaimed, however, without
conditions. Have the Councillors of the Throne forgotten
them ? I have remained true to my words, and I shall speak
my thoughts without reserve, whether I call down upon my-
self praise or blame by my frank proceeding. lam no re-
publican ; my opinions of 1837 arc my opinions of 1830 ;
and I declare them once without breaking a single promise.
My financial establishment will subsist to advantage of the
commerce and industry of the country, and my alliance
with republicans will soon be acknowledged as a simple
lie. As deputy, I shall perform my duty according to my
sense of duty : in private life I shall endeavour to devote
myself to the progress of commerce and industry, and my
task in life will thus, I trust, be fulfilled.—J. LAFITTE."
The annexed short extracts arc from the Journals
of Wednesday :

A letter from Saragossa, of the 17th, says that an ac-
count from Teruel, of the 11th, states that the Army of
the Centre was to proceed on the following day to Canta-
vieja. It has since been reported that the Carlists have
evacuated that place.
The Sentinelle rf the Pyrenees, of the 21st, adds—" It
has been reported at St. Sebastian that Cantavieja had
been occupied by General Oraa."
This is a strange way for the news to come, and it may
be considered as a conjecture.
The same Journal also says that Pcralta was re-taken
by the Christinos on the 20th, and that the Carlist garrison
were taken prisoners.
The Journal dc Paris designates General Bugeaud for
the Government of Africa, but does not yet venture to pro-
nounce his name. It appears to us that the conduct of
the superior Commandants of Oran to General Brossard
should have made the Journal de Paris more bold. Ile
who dared to give up Tlemecen, Tenis Chuchel, the camp
of La Tafna, and who does not scruple to violate the laws,
is now placed too high for any one to compete with him in
the mind of the Ministry. General Bugeaud is right to
conclude the treaty which will lead to the taking of Con-
stantine.

A letter from Genoa of Oct. 16, says—All expeditions
to Spain have been deferred for this month past. The only
venture has been that of a small vessel from Leghorn, in-
sured against all risk at 40 and 42 per cent. Those
equipped at Speggia are there still. There are certainly
funds here intended for Don Carlos ; but on the one hand
his retrograde movements, and the state of his health,
caused hesitation, and on the other the English threaten
‘igerous measures. The King is at least 300,000 crowns
in arrear with his bankers, and in advance, it is said, with
Don Carlos of 600,000 or 700,000 crowns ; and the Du-
chess of Beira, who was to send money, has not kept her
promise. She no longer thinks of coming to embark, and
our Court in vain solicits the Northern Powers for the re-
cognition which they so often promised.—Lc Commerce.

The banking interest held another meeting yesterday,
relative to the proposed visit of the Queen to this part
of the metropolis, at which it was decided, we under-
stand, that all bills of exchange falling due on the 9th
of November of which they are themselves the holders
shall be presented for payment on the day preceding.
Bills in the hands of private parties must necessarily
take their ordinary course.

The departure of the Court from Brighton is fixed
for Saturday, the 4th of November, It is not yet known
whether the Queen will go back bijnro next autumn.

effected till a short time since, when both lie and Smith
were taken at St. Albans, and upon being brought before
a Magistrate, they were both committed for trial. Several
witnesses were examined who clearly traced the property
stolen to the possession of the prisoners.
Mr. PAYNY addressed the Jury at some length on be-
half of the prisoners, contending that there was no evidence
to show that they burglariously entered the premises of
Messrs. Grainge.
Mr. Baron BOLLAND summed up the case, and the
Jury, after a shOrt cOnsultationatquitted both prisoners.
THE MURDER CASE.-It being generally understood
that George Smith, the soldier, who stands charged upon
the Coroner's warrant with the wilful murder of James
Chaplain would be tried to-day, at an early hour the ave-
nues of the Court and Court-house were crowded with
soldiers and other persons anxious to hear the trial. In
consequence, we understand, of the Grand Jury having
ignored the.bill charging Smith with the wilful murder, and
finding a bill for manslaughter only, he will be tried on the
Coroner's Inquest alone for the wilful murder. The trial is
appointed to take place the first before the Judges to-mor-
row morning.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
We are again without any arrivals this morning of any
consequence.

In the early part of yesterday the Consol Market was
buoyant, and Consols reached 93i, but towards the latter
part of the day a slight re-action took place, owing to a
few sales of Money Stock, which caused Consols to recede
about per cent., and they closed at 93 for the Account ;
Money, 92i ; Exchequer Bills, 51 53, premium,: India
Bonds, 53 55 ; Bank Stock, 210 i 21 l ; India Bonds,
2621 2631.
Consols opened this morning at 93 for the Account,
and for Money, 92i. There is little doing in the va-
rious shares.

In the Foreign Market, Spanish Active closed at 19
‘with Coupons, opened this morning at 198. Portuguese,
341, opened at the same ; Three per Cents , 231 ; Mexi-
can, 26,1 ; Colombi•m, 241 25 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half
per Cents., 531
Accounts from Manchester state, that notwithstanding
the improvement in the Cotton market, goods continue
depressed, and even yarns are at the lowest prices. There
is no increase of stock in the hands of the manufacturers.

HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK.

The Consol Market is not so good as in the early part
of the morning. Consols have receded from 93 to 923
for the Account, owing to some sales in the heavy stock.
Exchequer Bills, 51 53 ; India Bonds, 53 55 ; Bank
Stock, 2101 2111 ; India Stock, 2621 2631.
In the Foreign Market the only improvement is in
Spanish Active, which is done at t-20 to with Coupons.
Portuguese remains as in the morning at 341 ; Three per
Cents., 231 ; Mexican, 261 ;41 ; Colombian, 241 25 ;
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 53i 1.
A public sale of Cotton took place this morning in
Mincing-lane, but out of 3,000 bales only 300 were dis-
posed of.

THREE O'CLOCK.

LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, OCT. 26.
There has been a steady demand to-day, without any
change, although not a very active one. The sales amount
to 4,000 bags, consisting of 600 Surat at 3id. to 54d. ;
350 Pernams, 9d. to 94d. ; a few Egyptian, 9d. ; and
Maranhams, Bfd. The rest American, from 50. to
74d. 150 Surats arc taken for export.
M. Toltchenow, one of the oldest and best actors of
the grand theatre of Alexandrowski, at St. Pctersburgh,
who had for many years retired from the stage in disgust
at the wretched taste of modern dramatic times, suddenly
made his re-appearance at the commencement of the pre-
sent month on the scene of his pristine glory. The charac-
ter chosen by the venerable Roscius on this occasion was
one of the principal parts in Schiller's drama of The Rob-
bers, which was performed for the artist's own benefit. The
representation was attended by immense crowds, who la-
vished upon the veteran actor the most gratifying testimo-
nies of approbation at the abandonment of the resolution
which had so long deprived the public of an opportunity of
admiring his talents. During his voluntary seclusion from
the stage, this Talma of St. Petersburgh was in the habit
every evening of reciting favourite scenes from the classic
authors of France, before an audience composed of a few
intimate friends and his own servants.

Yesterday afternoon an old woman, in a state of
exhaustion, entered the shop of a Jew, in Saffron-hill, and
requested permission to rest herself by the fireside, in an
apartment behind the shop, which, as she had made a pur-
chase of a second-hand pair of shoes, was granted by the
occupant's daughter, the only individual in the shop at the
time. The female was left by herself but a short time in
the back premises when she rushed out into the street,
with her clothes in a frightful blaze of fire. The poor
creature's screams attracted a sast crowd, who speedily ex-
tinguished the flames, but not until she was so severely
scorched, that it was deemed expedient to have her con-
veyed to the Hospital, where she now lies in such a state
of intense agony, that her recovery is very doubtful.
A strange and unwonted exhibition took place in
Walsall Market on Tuesday last. A man, named George
Hitchinson, brought his wife, Elizabeth Hitchinson, from
Burntwood, for sale, a distance of eight or nine miles.
They came into the market between ten and eleven o'clock
in the morning, the woman being led by a halter, which was
fastened round her neck and the middle of her body. In
a few minutes after the arrival she was sold to a man of the
name of Thomas Snape, a nailer, also from Burntwood.
There were not many people in the market at the time.
The purchase-money was 2s. 6d., and all the parties seemed
satisfied with the bargain. The husband was glad to get
rid of his frail rib at any price, who, it seems, had been
Hying. with Snape three years, erroneously imagining that,
because he had brought her through a turnpike-gate in a
ilalter, and had publicly sold her in the market before wit-
„es, he is thereby freed from all responsibility and ha-
bilit)"' • with regard to her future maintenance and support.—

CHELSEA COLJ4EOE AND ITS TRADITIONS.—
The celebrated author of " The Subaltern" is on the eve
of publishing a work under the above title. From his office
as Chaplain to the Hospital, Mr. Gleig is placed in the
most favourable position, not only of acquiring authentic
information regarding the establishment itself, but of hearing
from the veterans who inhabit it the various narratives of
their adventures in the different sieges and battles wherein
they have been engaged. Many of these are of a highly
romantic description, and Mr. Gleig is the man of all others
to turn them to the best account ; a work of powerful inte-
rest may accordingly be anticipated.
CHIEF OF TIIE MACPHERSONS.—An imposing
ceremony took place in the Parish Church of Laggan, on
Sunday, 24th ult. It having been the wish of the Parishioners
that Cluny Macpherson should be made an elder of the
Church of Scotland, he was ordained in presence of a very
full congregation ; the clergyman took occasion to give a
very appropriate exhortation, at the conclusion of which,
the newly ordained elder shook hands with his brother elders.
The all-absorbing subject of her Majesty's intended
visit to Guildhall solely occupies public attention. If all
the associations and unions of traders who arc anxious to
join the procession and who are desirous to manifest their
loyalty and attachment to the Queen were to attend, the pro-
cession would extend from. Buckingham Palace to Guildhall.
Mddle. Taglioni had the honour of being received
by the Empress of Russia on the very day she returned to
Moscow. This highly distinguiAted danscusc was to make
her appearance on the theatre of Moscow on the following
day, in the Sylplmide.
Mademoiselle Louise 0 udinot, daughter of the Duke
and Duchess de Reggio, was married on the 4th instant, at
Jeandheures, in the Meuse, to a son of the Viscount de
Vesins, who pronounced the nuptial benediction in person,
having, after the death of his wife, entered into holy orders.
Yesterday morning the body of an old woman, at
least 70 years of age, whose tattered garments bespoke ex-
treme want and misery, was found floating in the Regent's
Canal, near Hoxton. It had evidently been under the water
many days. It was given in charge to the proper authority.
It is stated that, on the voyage of the Lapeyrouse
to America, with Meunier, the regicide, on board, tile crew
refused to associate with him, and left him in perfect soli-
tude during the whole voyage.—Paris Paper.

At the Cumberland Sessions last week Joseph But-
terworth, aged 64, was charged with having feloniously
thrown upon Eleanor Ronson, of Carlisle, a quantity of
corrosive fluid or other destructive matter, whereby the
said Eleanor Ronson was burnt and disfigured. Ile was
found guilty. On this case the Carlisle Journal says—
" At the opening of the Court on Thursday morning it
was stated that the prisoner Butterworth had made his
escape, on his way from the Court to the House of Cor-
rection. The bailiffs were all called up on the previous
evening, and not one of them, it appeared, could be found
who had the prisoner in charge, and it was proved that
nearly the whole of them had been very negligent during
the afternoon, and that some of them were very much in
liquor. The prisoner, we believe, has not yet been found."
An inquest was last week held at Garway, Here-
fordshire, on the body of James Gritton, who died from in-
juries received in a fight at Garway feast on the previous
Sunday with a man named Hill. It appeared that the de-
ceased was very expert as a wrestler, and frequently at-
tended fairs and feasts for the purpose of displaying his
skill. On the day of Garway feast he wrestled with several
men, and threw them all. Several men, and among them
Richard Hill, subsequently challenged any man in the
parish to fight. Gritton did not wish to fight, but, after
being challenged several times, went out with Hill for the
purpose. The fight proceeded fairly for some time, when,
according to one of the witnesses, Hill struck Gritton on
the ribs while he was on his hands and knees. He also
struck him suddenly unawares after shaking hands, so
quickly after as to be unfair. The same witness mentioned
one or two other points of unfair dealing. The Jury re-
turned a verdict of " Manslaughter" against Richard Hill,
the principal, as well as against Richard Harris and Wm.
Prosser, the seconds, all of whom have absconded.
The delivery of the London mail in Wolverhamp-
ton was yesterday (Tuesday) delayed about 50 minutes by
one of the axletrees of a railway engine breaking about six
miles from Birmingham. We understand that no one sus-
tained injury by the circumstance, but it was necessary to
return to Birmingham, and the train was then conveyed on
the other line of rails.—Wolverhampton Chronicle.
Persons who are supplied with coals would do well
to have them weighed. Such caution ought not to give
offence to the dealers, many of whom, when short weight is
detected, say it is the fault of the coal-porters, or careless-
ness in the weighing of the coal at the wharf. If weighing
the article became general, it might prove of service to the
dealer as well as to the consumer, if the fault lies with the
coal porter, or occurs at the wharf.
To render eider mellow, suspend two or three pairs
of calves' feet, either raw or boiled, in each hogshead.
