THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1838.

After much provocation GOODMAN struck HILL, who
was intoxicated, who fell from the blow, and died.
GOODMAN was found guilty of manslaughter, but re-
commended to mercy. " Prisoner," concluded the
Learned Judge, in passing sentence, " the sentence
of the Court is, that you be imprisoned for one week
solitary. Let me entreat you to retire into the re-
cesses of your heart, to meditate on this awful warning,
and to pray not only that your rash hand may be with-
held from future broils, but also for the soul of the un-
happy man whom you have hurried totally unprepared
into the presence of Almighty GOD." Will the Rey,
Mr. BREEKS, or any zealot of the Establish-
ment cite the Learned Baron into the Arches Court
for this public denial of the Canons of the Church, and
public acknowledgment of the Roman Catholic doctrine
of purgatory ? Is the Learned Judge a Roman
Catholic in disguise ?

The Paris Journals of Wednesday have all been
received. They barely refrain from eulogising the
recent attempt of the rebels in the Canadas to assert
by force the independence of the provinces. This is
to us a matter of very little moment except, in so far
as it demonstrates the value of the regard which the
French Press professes to entertain for the maintenance
of the national greatness of England. We must and do,
however, make allow'ances for the prevalence of that
sympathy which it is natural the French should feel
for the descendants of a people who were their coun-
trymen, and who continue to speak their language,
to cherish their institutions, and to profess their
religion.
The presence of Marshal CLAUSEL in Africa is
likely to be productive of intrigues and rivalries detri-
mental to the interests of the colonists. As a
Marshal of the Empire, he looks down upon
the gallant bearer of a baton conferred by the
Citizen King ; while the remembrance of its being,
won under the cannon of Constantina—where he sus-
tained so signal a defeat—is gall and wormwood to
him. To make matters worse, Marshal VALLEE and
himself personally dislike each other, so that already
the army is divided into factions, the superior offi-
cers declaring for VALLEE, and the subalterns for
CLAUSEL.

Of political gossip the little there is in these Papers
will be found in our extracts from them.

Madrid Journals to the 28th ult. have been re-
ceived. In our extracts from them will be found the
list of a new Cabinet, which is reported to have re-
ceived the promised support of an overwhelming ma-
jority in both Chambers. Several other lists were in
circulation, and no person pretended to foresee the cur-
rent of events for twenty-four hOurs in advance of the
present moment. The Address was still under discus-
sion. We may sum up the news from the provinces
by saying that they are in a state of social disorganiza-
tion.
