FRANCE.

A letter from Toulon of the 16th inst. an-
nounces the speedy promotion of several officers
in the naval commissariat. It is further stated
that the Government is taking into consideration
the expediency of laying up six ships of the line
at Toulon. The reason assigned is that the time
for wooden ships has passed away. As a proof
that such a feeling is prevalent in the French navy,
it appears that a naval officer holding a high
command has tendered his resignation in order to
devote himself to the completion ofa new fulminating
spur which he has invented for iron-cased ships,
which will not only drive in the side of any ship,
but will lodge in its interior explosive shell of the
most dangerous character.
The Pasha of Egypt will be in Paris early next
month on his way to the great Exhibition in Lon-
don. Private letters from Alexandria mention that
his Highness would probably pay a visit to Constan-
tinople or to Venice, but it was uncertain to which
he would give the preference. He will be accom-
panied by a numerous suite, and will bring with
him all his jewels of price, and about 3,000,000 f.
—I suppose for travelling expenses. His stay in
London will not be short, as he is most anxious to
see all that is worth seeing besides the Exhibition.
It is not said what time he means to devote to Paris.
The Courrier de Lorient contains the following
remarks -on the new iron-plated frigate the Cou-
ronne:—This terrific engine of war, ofsuperior speed
has no rival on the seas. Iron-plated all over, she
can strike a vessel with a speed of 14 knots a n hour.
Her 40 rifled guns can be fired during the worst
weather. She answers her helm admirably, and
rises on the waves like the lightest wooden ship.
In a word, the Couronne combines all the qualities
req aired to constitute a formidable ship of war, as
well as those of a fast-sailing packet for the Trans-
atlantic service.

ral causes. The time required to cure the most inveterate
case is four weeks ; and, if used according to the printed in-
structions (which are very simple), failure is impossible.
This life-restoring remedy should be taken by all about to
marry, as its effects are permanent. It is acknowledged by
the medical press to be the greatest discovery ever made.
Success in every case is as certain as that water quenches
thirst.

TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE SIIN.

SIR,—In reference to the claims of the owners of
the Orwell and of Mr. Watson Taylor, it appeared
to me that one element necessary for the formation
of a correct judgment was wanting—the opinion of
General Garibaldi.

I therefore, on public grounds, put myself in
communication with him, without laying before
him any statement of facts, which, indeed, he must
know better than most of the gentlemen who have
interested themselves in the discussion, and I now,
with his permission, lay before you the brief ex-
pression of the great captain's view of the rights of
the case.

It is plain and honest, like the writer of it, and
perfectly consistent with the manly tone taken by
Lord Palmerston in the debate.—l am, Sir, your
obedient servant, W. H. ASHURST.
6, Old Jewry, June 24.

" Caro Ashurst,—ln answer to your suggestion,
I wish to express my
conviction that the owners of
the Orwell ought to be paid just compensation by
the Italian Government for the use and damage
sustained by that vessel. She rendered good ser-
vice in the cause of the King of Italy, and I cannot
think that, having accepted the benefit, he will deny
the practical recognition of the service rendered.
"Also the injury sustained by Mr. Watson
Taylor's property at Monte Christo ought to be
made good to him, so far as his property was con-
verted, as in the case of his cattle, to the use of the
Italian cause.
" This is my opinion, quote it where you please.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—Through your columns, I beg to ask, would it not
be desirable that the directors of the above company
announced the time they have fixed for closing their share
list, and relieve the anxious suspense of intending share-
holders ? Also, how they purpose allotting the shares ?

It is to be hoped that no undue influence would be brought
to bear in favour of the prortoters, but that all should share
alike: In many companies recently brought out the direc-
tors and promoters have monopolised nearly all the shares
for themselves and friends, to the entire exclusion of the
general public, who have been led to believe by advertise-
ments, &c., that they could get as many shares as they
choose to apply for. It is to be hoped this will not be the
case in the Algerian Company.

I am, sir, yoar obedient servant,

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, June 24.—The yarn market is
again advancing, and there is a good deal of busi-
ness for nearly all markets, though for some it has
been more or less checked by the considerable ad-
vance spinners have demanded. Purchases have
been made for India, Germany, the Mediterranean,
and home trades, and prices are fully id. to Id. per
lb. higher than they were on Friday last. Both
spinners and manufacturers are a good deal alarmed
at what is taking place in the Liverpool cotton mar-
ket, and the diminishing stock of the raw material.
There is still an impression that affairs may take
such a turn in America as to seriously affect prices
here immediately, if not permanently, and the high
rates to which everything is being forced by the
speculative spirit now so rife are regarded with
anything but confidence. Manufacturers have been
asking a considerable advance for cloths to-day, and
though this checks operations, a moderate business
has been done at something under extreme prices.
The demand has extended to a variety of fabrics, in-
cluding long-cloths,T-cloths,shirtings,madapollams,
and jacconets, for all of which higher rates have
been given than on Friday, though the irregularity
is considerable, and quotations would only mis-
lead. Many manufacturers, having very much
lightened their stocks by recent sales, appear dis-
posed to hold aloof where full rates are not offered,
and others are indisposed to seek for business. The
prico of cloth still lags much behind its value, ac-
cording to the rate at which cotton is selling, and
those who can afford are holding back in the ex-
pectation of reaping advantage by waiting till cloths
are rather scarcer.
ROCHDALE, 23d.--The flannel trade keeps mode-
rately active, and to-day a fair business has been
done, the
greatest demand being for the better and
finer kinds of goods.

THE SWELL MOB AT THE EXHIBITION.--John Clara
and Mary Williams, a very fashionably attired man and
woman, were placed at the bar charged with attempting to
commit robberies at the Exhibition.
John Share, 16 X, said—l was on duty at the Exhibi-
tion yesterday afternoon at a quarter to four, when I saw
the prisoners in the North Court. There was a piece being
played, accompanied by a flute, and a number of persons
listening. I saw the female prisoner, accompanied by the
man, walk up by the side of a lady and stand close to the
right of her. The man then placed himself behind the
female prisoner, and I saw her place her hand in the lady's
pocket. After that the female prisoner walked away,
followed by the man, who spoke to her. I asked the lady
whether she had lost anything, when she replied that she
had not, that Fhe had only got a handkerchief in her
pocket. The prisoners then followed three ladies, and the
female placed herself on the right of one of them, the man,
as before, going behind her. The female then plaeed,her
hand in another lady's pocket, but got nothing, and left. I
then follcwed and took them into custody, when the female
dropped a pair of scissors used for cutting ladies' dresses.
Female Prisoner—lts a mistake altogether about the
scissars, I was picking my nails with them, and they fell
out of my hands.
Policeman continued—l found £4 in gold and silver upon
the male prisoner, and £2 6s. on the female, £2 of which she
had in her hand. I found a gold watch and chain upon
each of them.

Mr. Arnold—Were they wearing them ?
Policeman—Yes.
Mr. Arnold—Openly ?
Policeman—Yes.
Mr. Arnold—Why did you take them from them ?
Policeman—We always take everything from them.
Mr. Arnold—Do you take their hats, their mantles, or
their boots ?
Policeman—No.
Mr. Arnold—Then why take anything else (they wear ?
Have you any reason to believe they were siolen ?

Policeman—l have not.
Mr. Arnold—Give them their watches at once.
This was accordingly done, and the prisoners, who are
expert old thieves, wero remanded.

POLICE-THIS DAY.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
CONSPIRACY OF THE CABMEN.—Not a day elapses
without cabmen being summoned to this court, the com-
plaint against them not being that of exacting more than
their legal fare, but of refusing to take a fare when there is
only one person to be carried. Lord Huntingtower sum-
moned a cabins; named George Harrison Dobbins, badge
10,100, for refusing to take him as a fare, the cabman pre-
tending not to have seen his lordship, although only ten
yards off; but directly after managing to see a party
of four persons, and taking thorn up.

Crooke, 106 E, who was a witness for Lord Hunting-
tower, said the .cabmen would not now take single fares,
and he heard as many as 100 complaints a-day against
them, he being stationed in the Regent-circus.
Mr.Tyrwhitt fined the defendant 205., and suspended the
cabman's license for 20 days, at the same time stating that
there was a most impudent conspiracy existing among the
cabmen against the public.
Lord Huntingtower having stated that be did not wish
the man punished,
Mr. Tyrwhitt said that being the case he had no other
alternative but to discharge him ; but at the same time he
would state that in all cases of the kind he should deal most
severely with the defendants, and revoke their licenses.
Another cabman, named James Wooton, badge 1,835,
was summoned for refusing to take Mr. John M. Sewell,
of 2, St. James's-street. In this case the defendant drove
from one aide of Regent-street to the other in answer to the
complainant's hail, but on the defendant seeing that some
ladies who were standing near the complainant were not
going in his cab, he drove off. Mr. Tyrwhitt suspended
the defendant's licence for 10 days.
DANGtEROUS DRIVING.-Mr. Robert Garden, saddler, of
29, Piccadilly, was fined 40s. for being drunk and furiously
driving a horse and gig in Piccadilly, as also assaulting Mr.
Read, gasfitter, of 2, Bond-street, Golden-square.
Mr. Tyrwhitt, in fining the defendant, said it was a most
dangerous thing for a man to drive a gig while drunk.

property, and so far national property. We think,
too, that the parish should require the building to
be kept tenantable. But by whom ?—that is the
question. We reply unhesitatingly—by the rent-
free tenants. If the use of the church be conceded
to one sect in the parish, it may be the largest,
but in some parishes it is the smallest, then, that
sect which claims exclusive use ought
to bear the charge exclusively. If other
sects are required to repair the building, be-
cause they are parishioners, then they ought,
because they are parishioners, to have the right to
conduct their own services in the place alternately
with the others. Such is the the practice in some
places on the continent, and then an equal rate on
all to keep up the building would be quite fair.
Not improbably the time may come when English-
men will wonder at their ancestors for confining
public national buildings to the worship of one
sect; and they will think us exceedingly illiberal
and narrowminded, that three or four services, in
accordance with the views of different sects, could
not be peacefully celebrated in one Christian Church
on the same Sunday by different bodies of
Christians.

The .New York Journal of Commerce says that
if evil follows ultimately, as it is almost sure to do
in every case of violation of sound financial prin-

When to these very liberai offers we add that
the district is so peculiarly favourable for the
growth of cotton, that the Cotton Supply Associa-
tion have memoralised Sir C. WOOD earnestly for
his. countenance, we think we have shown that
this is in every way a case in which public opinion
ought to be strongly expressed. It must—if the long
delay be yet further lengthened, and that while
India is starving for want of water and Lanca-
shire for want of cotton—it must be brought before
the House of Commons. We cannot conceive of
any public reasons which can influence the Indian
Secretary. Private ones are equally out of the
question. 'Whatever they are, water for India

ALGERIAN COTTON, LAND, AND IRRI
GATION COMPANY.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin,—Through your columns, I beg to ask, would it not
be desirable that the directors of the above company
announced the time they have fixed for closing their share
list, and relieve the anxious suspense of intending share-
holders ? Also, how they purpose allotting the shares ?
It is to be hoped that no undue influence would be brought
to bear in favour of the promoters, but that all should share
alike. In many companies recently brought out the direc-
tors and promoters have monopolised nearly all the shares
for themselves and friends, to the entire exclusion of the
general public, who have been led to believe by advertise-
ments, &c., that they could get as many shares as they
choose to apply for. It is to be hoped leis will not be the
case in the Algerian Company.

PRICE OF GOLD.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per mine premium.
and the short exchange on London is 25.276 per £1 sterling.
On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
about 3-1 the per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 4261 per mark.
and the short exchange on London is 13.5 j per £1 sterling,
Standard gold at the English ➢iirt price is, therefore, about
the same price in London and Hamburg.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is 115 to 1151 per cent., and the premium on
gol iis about 41 per cent. At these rates there is a profit on
the importation of gold from the United States.

THE PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE
fully explained in J. GROSSAIITH'S
" GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex-
perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in busi-
ness has now become the grim torture. Purity of motive,
intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all
is lost, All denominations of Constitutions are carefully

THE LATE FATAL DISPUTE AT

BALROTHERY.

(From the _Dublin Freeman)
A report having reached the town of Balbriggan
on Friday, at about four o'clock, that a man named
James M'Guinness had been strangled to death by
a person named Owen Callaghan, in a dispute which
originated about a small piece of land, a party of
constabulary, under the command of Sub-Inspector
Carey, were immediately afterwards on the spot ;
they made search for him in his own house and in
several others in the village of Balrothery. Shortly
afterwards word having been sent by a mounted
policeman to the surrounding stations, the parties
from those barracks, together with the Balbrig-
gan constabulary and Mr. Carey, scoured the
demesnes of Hampton and Ardgillan. Callaghan
was arrested at about half-past five o'clock by Mr.
Madden, J.P., about half a mile from Callaghan's
house,from information received by that gentleman,
Head-constable M'Gonigle being within a few
perches of him in pursuit.

who had stolen the coats, and he was given into
custody. On searching him 32 buttons, identified
as having been on the coats, were found in his pos-
session.

The jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was
sentenced to hard labour for 12 months.
Mr. Lewis prosecuted; Mr. Palmer defended the
prisoner.
John Middleton, 27, blacksmitb, was indicted for
stealing a watch, value £5, the property of Herbert
Chard, from his person.
Mr. Beckham prosecuted ; Mr. Cooper defended.
The prosecutor on the night of the 7th inst., soon
after 10 o'clock, was at the corner of Earl-street,
Edgeware-road, when the prisoner came up and
pushed against him, he having a handkerchief in
his hand. Immediately afterwards he heard the
clasp of his watch snap, and on putting his hand to
his left waistcoat pocket he found his watch was
gone. He held the prisoner until a policeman came
and gave him in charge. The watch was not found.
The jury found the prisoner guilty, and
Mr. Payne sentenced him to be kept to hard
labour for 18 months.
Henry Johnson, 21, was indicted for stealing 801 b.
of lead, value 18s., the property of Henry Sich, and
fixed to his dwelling-house.
Mr. Poland prosecuted ; Mr. Dickie defended.
It appeared from the evidence that on the 30th
of May, at half-past 7in the morning, Police-ser-
geant Rogers, T 13, was on duty at Turnham-green, '
and he saw the prisoner come out of Chiswick-
fields. He followed him, and saw him come from
a hedge near to Mr. Sich's house. On looking over
the hedge he saw four pieces of lead (produced)
weighing 801 b. The same evening the prisoner
went to a marine-store dealer's shop, kept by a man
named Philip Taylor, and inquired if he purchased
lead, to which he replied in the affirmative. The
prisoner said he would bring some the next morn-
ing, and the marine-store dealer heard some one
knock at the door, but he did not get up to see who
it was. It was proved that on the 29th May some
lead was taken from the kitchen roof of Mr. Sich's
house, and on comparing the pieces of lead pro-
duced with the place on the roof from which the
lead had been taken, they were found to fit exactly.
The prisoner was subsequently taken into custody
at Creek-wharf, where he was at work, he denying
that he had been to Chiswick at all, and that any
one had seen him there.
Mr. Dickie addressed the jury in an able speech
for the prisoner.
Thejury returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
The bail cases are appointed for Friday.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCIZESTEB, June 24.—The yarn market is
again advancing, and there is a good deal of busi-
ness for nearly all markets, though for some it has
been more or less checked by the considerable ad-
vance spinners have demanded. Purchases have
been made for India, Germany, the Mediterranean,
and home trades, and prices are fully Id. to 4d. per
lb. higher than they were on Friday last. Both
spinners and manufacturers are a good deal alarmed
at what is taking place in the Liverpool cotton mar-
ket, and the diminishing stock of the raw material.
There is still an impression that affairs may take
such a turn in America as to seriously affect prices
here immediately, if not permanently, and the high
rates to which everything is being forced by the
speculative spirit now so rife are regarded with
anything but confidence. Manufacturers have been
asking a considerable advance for cloths to-day, and
though this checks operations, a moderate business
has been done at something under extreme prices.
The demand has extended to a variety of fabrics, in-
cluding long-cloths,T -cloths,shirtings,madapollams,
and jacconets, for all of which higher rates have
been given than on Friday, though the irregularity
is considerable, and quotations would only mis-
lead. Many manufacturers, having very much
lightened their stocks by recent sales, appear dis-
posed to hold aloof where full rates are not offered,
and others are indisposed to seek for business. The
prico of cloth still lags much behind its value, ac-
cording to the rate at which cotton is selling, and
those who can afford are holding back in the ex-
pectation of reaping advantage by waiting till cloths
are rather scarcer.
RoetmaLE, 23d.—The flannel trade keeps mode-
rately active, and to-day a fair business has been
done, the greatest demand being for the better and
finer kinds of goods. There is rather more doing
in the foreign trade of
late. There is no improve-
ment in the Yorkshire goods trade, which keeps
coict, Wools are held firm in prices, but manu-
' tacturers are not free buyers at present,

BOROUGH HOP.

The busine,:s doing in our market is very moderate, and
is mostly confined to good and fine samples of last year's
growth, at late rates. The plantation accounts are, on the
whole, favourable.

the trade rules heavy, as follows :

LEEDS, 24th.—There is nothing new to report as
to the condition and prospects of the woollen cloth
trade here, to-day's markets in both the halls being
rather quiet, and the purchasers indicating that the
same feeling pervades both the home and the foreign
demand. About a late average amount of business
was done in light Meltons and Tweeds, with quite
as much in velvets and heavy goods, and also in
plain cloths. Both wools and cloths keep steady
in price.

upon the original agreement ; and prepared a draft
deed in accordance with it, which they
forwarded to Sir CHARLES WOOD. This, he
sends to Madras, with a letter he would
not permit the company to see. It is greatly,
therefore, to the credit of the Utter that they
have made one more attempt to induce the
Secretary for India to act cordiallT with them, and
have transmitted to him a letter containing a final
offer on the basis of conciliaticn. With great
liberality they propose to limit the Government
guarantee to the original million, but the Govern-
ment is to have the advantage o its being a first
charge on the whole returns ; those, that is from the
unguaranteed capital included, thus lessening the
Government risk. The effect of another part of the
arrangements is that the Government shall be
promptly repaid any advances it may make; and
that if the profits exceed 12 ?er cent., which is
the ordinary Bazaar rate of interest in India, the
Government is to share equally with the company.
