that some Albanians in the service of the Pacha of
Egypt, and who had received orders to evacuate Arabia 1
and proceed to the island of Massonah., had deposed the
French Vice-Consul of that place: and torn down his
flag. The Nail) Assan, on receiving the news of this
insult, had hastened to the assistance of the Vice-Consul.
re-established him in his post, re-hoisted his flag, and
ordered the sacrifice of an ox in expiation of the insult."
A few evenings ago a well-dressed man, whose name
and person were unknown, having enveloped his head in
a handkerchief, laid it upon the railway between Brus-
sells and Malines, in order that it might be crushed by
the first train. This took place, and the unfortunate
man, in whose pockets no money of any kind was found,
was buried at Ever.

A Liege Journal states that the Emperor of Russia
has sent an order to an armourer of that town for 15,000
percussion muskets with rifle barrels, at 80f. each, for
the Imperial Guard. These guns are to carry a ball
1,000 paces, and to be discharged are placed on rests
which are so light that they are easily carried slung to
the belt. A box formed in the butt-end of the pieces
carries the various small implements required. Bavaria
and other Gertnan States, it is said, have sent orders to
Liege for similar arms.
The Temps says—" From ten o'clock till now M.
Franck Carre, the Attorney-General, and several Ma-
gistrates of the parquet were assembled at the Concier-
genie to proceed to the examination of Papprt.
" Numerous arrests have been made in different quar-
ters of Paris, and particularly in the faubourg St. An.
toine. It was said, that among the persons arrested there
were several accomplices of Pappart, and among others
the person who loaded his pistol.
" These arrests caused some sensation in the vicinity
of the houses in which they were made. They were the
origin of the first assemblage which were formed during
the day in the faubourg St. Antoine."
The Toulonnais has a letter from Algiers of the 6th,
of which the following are extracts:—
"Active preparations are making for revictualling
Medeah and Miliana. Numerous convoys carry to
Blidah the provisions which will be taken from that
place.
" It is said that a battalion of the 58th will go to oc-
cupy Medeah, and that Miliana will be garrisoned by a
battalion of the 26th. • It is thought that the revie Wal-
ling of those two places will be effected between the 20th
and 25th of this month. Immediately afterwards the
autumn campaign will commence, the principal opera-
tions of which will be, as is supposed, in the province of
Oran.

" Since the last expedition the Arabs have made no
hostile movement, except partially, at Blidah. Some
marauders of the tribe of Beni-Sola have come latterly
to molest the inhabitants, who went into the gardens to
gather fruit.
" Last week some sallies, skilfully executed by the
Zonades, ended with the capture of eight or ten horses
and mules ; the Zonades brought back also the head of
two enemies, which were exposed the next day at the
gate of Bap- Cepa.
" Lieutenant-Colonel Regnault has taken great pains
with the gardens, which were abandoned by the Arabs,
and have been since neglected. They recovered their
former verdure, and the orange-trees, the fruit of which
is very celebrated, promise an abundant crop for next
year."—Le Constitutional.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, SEPT. 17.—There was
a great demand for Cotton in the early part of the week,
and rather advancing prices obtained. Since Tuesday,
however, there has beta less animation, and an equal,
if not a larger, quantity offering, consequently a more
favourable market for the buyer ; our quotations, there-
fore, will not differ from those of Friday last in any de-
scriptions, except Maranhams, which are a shade lower.
Speculators have taken 4,500 bales American, and 250
bales Surat ; and Exporters 2,000 bales American, 150
bales West India, and 150 bales Surat.

No business doing in the Share Market worthy of

" The landlords insult the understanding of the work-
ing classes, by telling them that cheap bread will make
low wages ; but look at Ireland, where wages are lose
and bread is dear, and at America, where bread is cheap
and wages high.
" The landlords passed the Corn-laws to keep up their
high rents, and it is their i:iterest to maintain them ;
they cost the people 50 millions of pounds a-year—much
more than the amount of all the State taxes put together.
" The price of the finest flour is ls. 2d. a dozen pounds,
in the sea-port towns of America: it could be brought
to England for 4d., making the cost altogether ls. 6d. ;
but the English pay 2s. 3d.—you pay 9d. to the mono-
polists for every dozen pounds of flour you consume—you
would have three loaves instead of two, were it not for
these laws. •
" ' Monopoly is the parent of scarcity, of dearness,
and of uncertainty.'
" Bread has risen lately—Have wages?
" Reader, what have you done towards repealing these
cruel laws? If you are a lover of truth and justice, you
are entreated to aid us in our holy labour of giving food
to the hungry. Order a few of these little tracts and
distribute them freely in your neighbourhood.
COLONEL NAPIER IN REPLY TO
THE " TIMES."
Times.--" The republican sympathisers were the first

aggressors."
Answer.—That gave England no right to invade
America.
Times.—" The destruction of the Caroline waS It mat-
ter of self defence."
Answer.—That is to be proved. If she had been de-
stroyed out of the American waters it would have been
so. If she had been pursued into the American waters
when flying from an attack it would have been so. But
she was deliberately attacked and destroyed in the Ame-
rican waters without any previous demand for redress,
without any proof offered, any declaration made, that
she was a piratical vessel. Her destruction was, there-
fore, an attack on the American nation.
Times.—" The State of New York was bound to en-
force the neutrality of its citizens,"
Answer.----Undoubtedly, if it could. An American
General was sent with troops to enforce it. -But the
frOntier is immense, and covered with forests. The neu-
trality could not be enforced. Was -bad faith on the
part of the American Government suspected ? If so, an
energetic remonstrarce and notice of reprisals, if redress
was not granted, would have been the mode of proceed-
ing according to the international law. Was no deceit
suspected ? Then a demand for the surrender of the
Caroline and her crew as a piratical vessel, or the pu-
nishment of the pirates, according to the laws of America,
would have been the proper mode of proceeding. In
either casc the right of the American nation to have its
sovereignty in Its own waters respected would have been
conceded, but the deliberate destruction of the Caroline
in these waters being a complete act in itself, and not.
the continuation of an attack commenced before she took
refuge in the American waters, was quite unauthorized
by international law. Was it a matter of necessity ?
'iltet necessity should have been shown, and an apology
founded cm it offered for the attaint upon American so-
vereignty. Had this been done on the instant no weak-
ness or dishonour could have been imputed to England,
and though it would be less graceful now, it is never too
late to act justly and honourably.
Times.—"lhe Federal Government has explicitly re-
cognized the right of England to insist unconditionally on
Me. M`Leod's release."
Answer'—This has no bearing on the queStion. The
captivity and trial of M‘Leod, after the English Govern-
ment had taken upon itself the responsibility of destroy •
ine! the Caroline, is a violation of international law on
the part of America, which the Federal Government
don not defend, and which it endeavours to redress.
But this in no manner justifies the previous .violation of
international law by England. The Federal Government
is willing to redress the injustice done to us by re-
leasing M‘Leod, but apparently it is unable. We,then, on
our part, ought to express an equal willingness to redress
the injury done to American sovereignty, either by
showing the necessity or plehding the provocation, and
apologizing. In fine, if the Times would adduce those
proofs of the necessity for the destrucwhichtionhave of the Caro
line, he the manner it was effected,
down in Mr. Webster's letter to Mr. Fox as requisite to
bring the act within the pale of international law, it
would be more reasonable and more effectual than calling
my proposal for an apology " stark staring non-sense."
W. NAPIER.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin—Tne vain-glorious lastings and too-confident
predictions of the newly elected Member for the rotten,
borough of Dorchester, are not always borne out by the
result. In his election speech on Monday he referred
to the then approaching election for this borough in tin
following terms,—" The town of Dorchester will thi,
day exercise its privileges with much more satisfaction;
than the far-famed town of Bridport, where a tale will
be told on Wednesday next that will astonish those whc,
pretend to be so bitterly hostile to bribery, intimidation,
and corruption. There will then be told a tale of such
election purity and absence of extortion as will satisfy
the most unblushing specimen of Ratljcalism." Now,
Sir, will you believe it, not one of the predlctions thus
confidently uttered by this rich specimen of " re:legade"
Radicalism, was verified by the event. At our election
yesterday. no " tale was told," such as this false prophb!
had predicted would astonish the friends of purity of
election. Nothing was said about bribery, intimidation,
corruption, or extortion. No disclosures were made that
could rinse a blush even upon the sensitive cheek of the
Right Hon. Representative of the slavish doctors of
Dorchester, who, in returning him to Parliament, are
obsequiously obeying the dictates 'of those whose will
is absolute in that degraded borough. Mr. Cochrani,
too well understood the value of the instruction conveyed
in the ancient adage—" They who live in glass housei,
should never throw stones," to venture a single word
upon these delicate topics, knowing, as he well does, that
in all the crimes alluded to by the renegade prophet, his
own party have infinitely exceeded ; and that the only
advantage he enjoyed over his opponents was, that of not
having a Judas in his camp.
,Mr. Cochrane's election passed off very quietly, and
the chh.Lring followed immediately after. The number
of electors in the procession was so insignificant, that
they were fain to ex., it out by mustering the farmers and
farm-labourers from all be surrounding rural districts,
who flocked in, attended by t;isiir respective parsons. It
was a question asked many ages " How shall a man
be wise whose talk is of bullocks?" al:d the condnct ol
the agricultural population of the present ez.a. irresistibly
impels the same inquiry.
