DEATH OF RUNJP,ET SINGH,

cause of Isabella 11. These testimonials have been re-
ceived by the friends of constitutional order in Spain with
marks of non-equivocal joy end gratitude, at the same
time that they spread amongst the favourers of counter-
revolution the consciousness of the inutility of their efforts,
and of the vanity of their hopes. The consequences of
such a line of conduct have been prompt and decisive, and
the Government has the right to congratulate itself on the
success of its policy, for it has done nothing beyond what
prudence and the national interests commanded, and jet
what it has done has sufficed."

The Guienne of Bordeaux, as well as most of
the other Carlist organs in France, publish all
manner of rigmarole accounts of the successes and
determination of CABRERA—now the last hope of
the Absolutists. The following specimen, from
the columns of the Journal we have mentioned, is
sufficiently ridiculous :

As soon •as the English Commissioners, sent by Lord
Palmerston to treat with Cabrera, arrived at his head-
quarters, the General gave them to understand that be
was elready aware of their object. During dinner the
conversation turned on different subjects ; but when the
Commissioners began to speak about bringing the war to
a conclusion by means of treaties, Cabrera said " I do not
like to talk about politics. I know that the object of all
'your treaties, all your measures, is the benefit of your
commerce. If you will sell me some muskets, I will pay ,
you in ready money. This is my diplomacy and my sys-
tern of spoliation." Dinner being over, the English-
men withdrew, astonished at the firmness of the
student of Tortosa. —A courier extraordinary was sent
by Espartero to Cabrera with a copy of the treaty
signed by Maroto, and urging Cabrera to avail him.

This includes all the news worthy of notice re-
specting, Spain and the Pretender, in the French
Journals.

Letters from Hanover, dated the 15th instant,
state that, the great body of the citizens, after re-:
ceiving the answer mentioned in our extracts from
the Hamburg Papers, were then going up. with
another petition; prij inn- his MAJESTY to reinstate
the Stadt Director, RIIiNIAN, in his functions.
Should their request be refused, it was expected
that the refusal would give rise to important pro-
ceedings on the part of the citizens.
The tribunal to which the case of the Magistrates
has been referred, it 'is added, had pronounced itself
competent to proceed with the case, but that there
was no authority for suspending the Stadt Director.

There is no political naws of any interest in the
French Journals of
,Thursday, a rumour prevailed
that the Government Wad received despatches from
the French Consul at Alexandria, intimating that
MEHEMET ALI, on receiving -certain guarantees
from the Great Powers, would both restore the
Turkish fleet and become reconciled with his old
enemy KHOSREW PACIIA.
•The France reports that the Spanish Govern-
ment is negociating with the French Government for
a loan of a hundred millions of francs.

In the Moniteur of Thursday we find the fol-
lowing account of the corn riots at Mons on the
16th inst. It will be read with painful interest :
At ten in the te:eming, a hussar, who formed part of a
patrol, having dropped behind, was ill-treated by the
crowd ; upon which a detachment of horse soldiers charged
and dispersed the aggressors, and took three persons into.
custody. The crowd then increased in the market square,
and in the street leading to the Alenson road. Barricades
were formed in many places: The first, which was near
the gendarmerie barracks, was immediately destroyed by
the gendarmes, but the crowd were able to complete the
principal barricade, near the Pont Royal, by materials from
some works going on at the river side, without obstacle.
This barricade became the central point of the revolt. The
Procureur du Roi and his substitute, who repeatedly sum-
moned the crowd to depart, were received with volleys
of stones, the rioters declaring that they would not cease
their proceedings until those who had been taken into cus-
tody on the preceding evening and morning were set at
liberty. The soldiers received no order to attack the bar-
ricade, and towards four a detaeimentof about 30 National
Guards, having at their head the commandant of the National
Guard of Le Mans, presented themselves. The Command
ant having promised, upon his responsibility, the release of
the prisoners, all the crowd followed him to the Palais de
Justice, where the Municipal Council was assembled. The
prisoners were released and the barricades were destroyed.
But when the detachments of hussars were returning
to their barracks they were booted and assailed by a
shower of stones, and fresh barricades were thrown zap in
their way. Towards six o'clock about four or five hundred
persons left the town for the purpose of destroying a mill
worked by machinery at l'Huisne; but finding there the
Prefect, a detachment of infantry, the Commandant of the
National Guard. and some of the National Guards, they
were unable to accomplish their object. Whilst these scenes
were going on at Le Mans, disturbances were also taking
place at Mamers, in the same department. More than
two hundred workmen assembled at the market, opposing
themselves to the removal of the corn which had been pur-
chased by the millers of the neighbourhood, and taking
out the horses from the carts and waggons which were
laden with corn. The local authorities of Mather?, having
no other armed force at their disposal than a few gen-
darmes, endeavoured to calm the mutineers by persuasion,
but they were not able to prevent them from going to the
bakers and innkeepers, and compelling them to send all
their corn to the public warehouse of the town. The
Ministerial journal concludes these details lay stating that
troops have been ordered from various points to Le Mans
and other parts of the department of the Sarthe. The
General Commandant of the department being absent from
illness when the disturbances broke out, General Lalande,
Commandant of one of the departments of the division,
has been sent to Le Mans to replace him.
The Government :ikewise having considered the Prefect
cf the Sarthe and the Procurcur du Roi of Le Mans to
have committed serious faults in consenting to the forced
sale of the waggons of corn that had been stopped by the
rioters, and especially in giving up the prisoners on the
clamours of the mob, has dismissed these two functionaries
from their posts, and has sent a military force into the
Sarthe more than sufficient to put an end to the riots.
Royal ordonnances, dated yesterday in the same journal,
appoint M. Mancel, Prefect of the Vienne, to the Prefec-
ture of the Sarthe, in the room of M. Rruley-Desverannes;
and M. Massienne, Procureur du Roi at Lorient, to the
same office at Le Mans, in the roam of M. Boursier. The
Minister of Justice has ordered the Cour Royal of Angers
to take cognizance of these disturbances.
The Courier de Bordeaux of the 17th says :
" It was reported on Change that a republican move.
went had taken place at Madrid."
" It is affirmed that this event is connected with the
question of the fueros.—Gazette de France.
The Zurich Gezette of the leth contains a protest of
the 'States of Berne, Lucerne, Soleure, Bale, Saint Gall,
Angorra, and Thurgovia, against the late events. The
a.putieS declare that they decline all responsibility re-
sultitor from the interruption of the sittings of the Diet ;
that they do net acknowledge as the authority of the
Verert.the provisional Government of Zurich, unconstitu-
tionally established on the 6 h instant; they declare all

tion cf the Diet, and that the direction of its deliberations

to the citizens in the warmest terms, assuring them that be

had always the interest; of the citizens at heart, and he re.
quested that in future they would always apply to him with
confidence. We bear that an answer from the Cabinet
Ministry, refusing the request of the citizens, was given
yesterday evening.
The Royal Proclamation of the 10th was publicly made
after the conclusion of Divine service in all the Churches.
The minister stated it was done by his Majesty s command.
HANOVER, SEPT. 11. —The Commissioners appointed to
draw up the proposals relative to the Constitution, are said
to have preceded with such diligence that their report
will bc ready in a week. The Assembly of the Estates,
it is said, will be convoked to meet in December.

It is reported to be in contemplation to institute another
criminal prosecution against the Magistrates, on account
of the second representation.
HANOVRIt. SEPT. 14.—The King received the guards to-
day; to-morrow his Majesty will go to Rotenkirchen, and
then make a tour in the Hartz. The Crown Prince re-
turned yesterday, in good health, from Nordcrney. The
Queen is still indisposed, and has not appeared for these
six weeks at the Royal table.

By the overland Mail from India, arrived
this morning, bringing Bombay papers of the
Ist of August, we learn that the " Old
Lion of the Punjaub, Runjeet Singh, died,
after a protracted illness, at Lahore. Run-
jeet Singh, was one of the most extraordinary
of the many distinguished characters who figure in
the modern history of India, From an origin still
more obscure and less respectable than that of
Mehemet Ali, he raised himself' by the force
of his genius to the throne of one of the
most powerful Ln.;dotts on the Indus. His
d a:h, at the present moment,. is an event of
con,ziderable importance. The details have not et
reached us, but if we receive them in time this
evening, they shall appear in our Second Edition.

CRIMINAL COUHT.-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.

The COURT was again this morning prevented from pro-
ceeding with the business of the Session, for nearly an
hour, in consequence of the non-attendance of an APer-
man. This. is the sec,nd time this occurrence has token
place during the present Session.
( Before Mr. Justice Vationas.)
BRUTAL OUTRAGE UPON A YOUNG FEMALE —William
Baiter, aged 19, was capitally indicted for an assault
upon Mary Anne Mears. The prosecutrix was a cripple.
It appeared that on the night of the 14th inst., she was in
the Barnett Road, when she met the prisoner, who was
the driver of a country waggon. and he induced her to get
up into the waggon, where the alleged offence was com-
mitted with great brutality by the prisoner and another
man. The prisoner was taken into custody, but his corn.
panion escaped. _ _

Mr. JlntiCe VAUGHAN summed up the evidence that had
been adduced, and

The Jury having retired for upwards of an hour, re-
turned a verdict of guilty, but recommended him to mercy.
MURDER ON TILE HIGH SEAS.—.John Blonk, a seaman
lat,ly serving in the Midas, a Copenhagen vessel, was
indicted with feloniously assaulting and striking on the
h?ad, on the 31st of July, John Sampson, the second mate
of the vessel, with a handspike, of which blow he died
the following day. From the evidence it appeared that
on the day in question the Midas was beating up between
Elsinore and Copenhagen, the deceased having the com-
mand of her when the assault took place, in consequence
of some orders that had been given by the deceased to the
prisoner. _ _ _

Mr. DOANE addressed the Jury on behalf of the prisoner.
Mr. Justice COLTMAN summed up the case.
The Jury found the prisoner Guilty of Manslaughter,
and the Learned Judge sentenced him to fifteeen years'
transportation.

Afier this case had been concluded Mr. Justice
VAUGHAN directed that William Baker who had been con-
victed cf a rape, should be placed at the bar to receive
judgment. The Learned Judge then passed upon him the
sentence of Death, holding out no hopes of mercy.

NEW COURT.
John Hogan, aged 21, was convicted of stealing a watch
and chain and two seals, and sentenced to transportation fur
seven years beyond the seas.
The COMMON SERGEANT said the prisoner was well
known as one of a gang of thieves. He had sentenced four
of them yesterday to transportation, and he hoped the
whole gang would very shortly be got rid of in the
same way.

MONEY AND COMMERCIALNEWS

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FRIDAY.—The ;;;:riet
for American descriptions, which have been offered more
freely, has been flat throughout the week, and all qua-
lities have been heavy of sale, particularly the middling
and inferior classes which are to be had at a decline at
fully per lb. The position of money affairs, in connexion
wita the United States, being unsatisfactory, sufficiently
accounts for the present gloomy aspect.
The very reduced supply of Brazil and Snrat has ena-
bled holders to obtain a further advance. Exporters 'nave
taken 1,500 bales of American and 660 Perna.ms ; the
tales abut 3,000 bags of all kinds.

A Hamburgh mail has arrived, of the 17th inst. Ex
change comes 13. 3/ schilling higher; gold comes 432 k
also higher.
An overland express has arrived from India._

The continental exchanges yesterday afterncsn on
Paris, Amsterdam, and Hamburgh were looking flat and
rather lower.

A Brazil mail has arrived by the packet ship Magnet ;
sailed from Rio J.►aiero July 21, Bahia ith, and Pernam-
buco 14th August, with a freight of about 9,0004 'Ph*
information by the above arrival is not of much importance;
the Exchange had got up to 31 and 31, and bills had been
drawn by the Brazilian Government on England at 32.

The quarterly average of the weekly liabilities and v‘sets
of the Bauk of England, from the 25th June to the 27th
Sept., 1839, both inclusive, have been published, by which
it will be perceived that the circulation is less by 9,0001;
the deposits less by 248,0001. ; the securities more by
348,0001. ; bullion less by 449,0001.
Our chief arrivals this morning are from the Brazils and
an over- land express from India, the former is of little im-
portance, and in respect to the latter, the papers and let tern
will not be delivered until twelve o'clock.

THE FUNDS.

The bad state of the weather this morning tends to
damp the spirits of the speculators in Spanish Stock as
well as the price having come lower from Paris, which
has caused the above stock to recede in our market from
the leaving off price of yesterday, 3'2 2- to 31i1.
Consols are not quite so good as they left off yesterday

DEATH OF RUNJEET SINGH.

Bombay of August 1, which brings the information of the
death of Runjeet Singh. From China the date is of the
30th May.

FLOODS.—Such has been the immense quan-
tity of rain which has fallen in Nottinghamshire, that many
of the low lands ore completely under water. The cars
of East Retford are full three feet deep in water, which is
the second visitation of the kind for the present season.
For building purposes the cars of East Retford seem ad.
mirably adapted. The heavy rains which fell towards
the termination of last week, on the higher parts of the
Derbyshire hills, occasioned a repetition of the flood
which did so much damage a few weeks ago. It is very
probable that great injury has been sustained on the lower
soils. A similar fact at Doncaster races was never known.

MANCHESTER.

FRIr AY EVENING.
Secrets will come out. The name of another person is
this town is currently talked about, in connexion with the
disgrat•eful hoax played by some Tories upon respectable
voters at the recent election.

The Tories scarcely know how to bear their recent de-
feat, and we may mention a circumstance connected with the
Licensed Victuallers' Association, which some say will end in
the breaking up of that association. It is well known that the
great body of licensed victuallers are highly displeased
with the late Chancellor of the Exchequer for his conduct
with respect to the Sale of Spirits Bill, and upon the eve of
the recent election, the licensed victuallers, who arc about
600 in number, held a meeting in order that they might
hear the sentiments of the different candidates with respect
to the interests of the licensed victuallers. Sir George
Murray addressed the meeting, stating that he would be
disposed to remedy every real grievance, but he did not
make any specific pledges. Mr. Walker and Mr. Cobden,
on behalf of Mr. Grey, promised as much for their candi-
date. The Tory landlord's bad mustered in great force ;
in oppositiea to the wish 6! the Chairman, Mr. James
Bake, of the Ball's Head Inn, carried a resolution de-
claring the opinion of the meeting that Sir George Mur
ray was the cindidate most deserving of the support of the
trade. Mr. Bake contended that inasmuch as the pro-
mises on behalf of each candidate were the same, each in.
dividual ought to be at liberty to support that candidate
sybase opinions most nearly accorded with his own. This
was overruled by the Tories. However, Mr. Bake, the
president, Mr. Gray, the vice-president, and other publi-
cans, declined to be held bound by a resolution which in.
flitted a violation of principle, and refused to vote at A.
The Tory party, incensed at this, caused another meeting
ti be held on Wednesday last. Twenty-seven (out of an
association numbering 500 persons) only attended, and
carried a resolution depriving Messrs. Bake and Gray of
their respective offices of president and vice-president.
The abuse with which Mr. Bake has since been assailed
by some of the parties has been such, that legal proceed-
ings must be taken by Mr. Bake for his own vindication.

LATEST FROM SOUTH AMERICA.

•
The Magnet packet, Lieutenant Griffith, commander,
arrived at Falmouth on Thursday evening with the South
American mails, having sailed from Rio Janeiro July 21,
and Bahia and Pernambuco the 7th and 14th of August
respectively. The news from the seat of Government
kought by this vessel is of little or no moment, but prior
to the packet quitting Pernambuco, a steam-boat had
arrived from Maranham with information that Caxias, the
next city of the province, had been entered and taken
possession of by the disaffected party, who were hostile to
the "law of prefect," or new police regulation, which had
been lately promulgated and established. As this outbreak
had been somewhat anticipated, a military force from se-
veral quarters was already en route and en voyage to sup-
press it. The malcontents were howeverestimated, it was
reported, at 20,000, in which case they would cause the
Royalists some trouble, beside giving a check for the time
to the internal trade from the coast, Caxias being the
great country mart for several of the ports.
The Magnet left at Rio de Janeiro her Majesty's ship
Stag, 46 guns, Commodore Suiivan, with the Grecian and
Wizard sloops and Arrow ketch, the American frigate In-
dependence of 60 guns, Sardinian frigate Regina of 60
guns, French sloop Recline of 14 guns, and two slave prizes
to tLe Grecian, betides portions of the Brazilian and Par.
tuguese squadrons. The packet has on freight about
8,000/. in specie, and has also brought home, under con-
finement, the mate and steward (together with a Spaniard
and three seamen as evidence) of the bark Secret, of Li-
verpool, accused of the murder of the master, Mr. A.
White, on a voyage from Guayaquil to St. Ander° ; she
was fallen in with by a British cruiser off the Falkland
Islands, detained, and sent to Rio, whence the above have
been transhipped by the British authorities to take their
trial. The steward is the principal in the murder, and the
mate is suspected of being an accessory.
