THE SUN, LONDQN, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 12,1840,

We have received New York papers to the
13th of July, by the Virginian, Captain HARRIS,
three days later than the last arrival. They con-
tain no news of importance. Exchange on Lon-
don was dull, the first bills being at 7 per cent.
premium. On the 10th of July United States
Bank Shares fell lh per cent., but next day
recovered, and sales were made at 71. In the
other Shares and Funds there was no material al-
teration. The following are the only extracts
worth notice, and we give them chiefly to show
the great similarity between the people of this
country and our brethren across the Atlantic. The
following is from the New York Sun. We were not
aware that flogging was carried on to such an ex-
tent in the American Navy as we are led to infer
from this extract :
FLOGGING IN THE NAVY.—That pride of our navy,
the North Carolina, now lying off the Battery, is this
day to be made the scene of the enactment of a relic
of barbarism which. still attaches itself to our almost
idolized navy ; and that, too, so near our shore that
doubtless the shrieks of the wretched and writhing victim
will penetrate the peaceable abodes of our citizens in the
vicinity of the Battery, and cause many hearts to sicken at
the suffering which extorts them, and many a cheek
to blush for the law which enacts such barbarous re-
tribution. Fleming Levingston, the U. S. seaman,
who mutinied a second time, after having been par-
doned the first offence, for which he was condemned
to death, has been sentenced by the court-martial to
receive 120 lashes, which sentence has been approved
by the President, and is to-day to be executed on
board the North Carolina. For this day, we should
like to be in some other country.
The next is also quite English :
PICKPOCKETS IN BROOKLYN.—The Vice-President,
on his visit to Brooklyn. on Friday last, was followed
by a swarm of English and American pickpockets from
this city, wlro laid a dozen pockets at least under
heavy-contributions. In the Navy Yard, in particu-
lar, no less than seven of the light-fingered gentry
were observed at one time by officer Stephens of
the 6th wird police, who went over there, accompa-
nied by several of the Bowery boys, to watch, detect,
and arrest, if possible, those chevaliers dindustrie.
After the Vice-President entered the Colonnade G ir-
den, at about 5 o'clock, the pickpockets divided them-
selves into small squads, the better to pursue their fur-
tive operations with success. In a short time the
pocketbook of Mr. F. W. Leeds, of this city, con-
taining upwards of 700 dollars in promissory notes,
and 1,500 in acknowledged accounts, was stolen,
and the fact being announced to officer Stephens,
he arrested a man named John Dollmgton,
alias Dannineton, alias Wood, on whom he found
the pocket-book of Mr. Leeds, and thereupon
handed h imov eto on of' the Brooklyn officers, aim
conducted him to prison. Soon after, the Bowery boys
pointed out a noted pickpocket named Alexander Dugan,
who called himself Wilson, and who had just picked tile
pocket of Mr. E. L. Hotchkiss, of 288, Hudson-street,
of his pocket-book, money, and papers, and he was also
arrested b 3 S'ephens, and handed over to the Brooklyn
officers, A Mr. Smith, of Brooklyn, had his pocket
picked, and his pocket-book put back, money taken—
and the Bowery boys again pointed out a noted English
pickpocket, rho resided at No. 64, Roosevelt-street,
with his wife, and who only arrived in this city from
England the day previous. He was also arrested end
taken into custody by the Brooklyn officers, and com-
mitted to prison. Many other pockets were picked,
but the operators escaped the argus eyes of the New
York and Brooklyn officers, and the Bowery boys, and
escaped in the crowd with their booty.
The following is a specimen of the amusements
at New Orleans
GAMBLING IN NEW OatEmis.--On the 29th ult.,
a great watch at billiards was played at New Orleans

between an Irishman and a Frenchman, for 1,500 dol-
lars aside—eleven games up of one hundred and twenty
points—the spot ball to count only three times in each
game, excepting when a cannon was made. The match
commenced at 10, A.M., and was finished at half-past
7 o'clock, P.M. It resulted in favour of the Hibern►an,
he making eleven games to his opponent's seven. The
excitement was very great. Hundreds of persons
crowded the rooms to see the " crack-players," and it
is estimated that not less than fifteen thousand dollars
changed hands in by-bets.

The :French Government has acceded to the
wishes of the French Press, by authorising the trial
of Prince Lours NAPOLEON and his accomplices
by the Court of Peers, for an attempt against the
safety of the State. The Royal Ordinance con-
voking the Court of Peers was agreed to by the
KING ►n Council on Sunday, and appears in the
Monitenr of the following day. We have no
doubt that the object of the Government is to have
the trial over before the arrival of the remains of
the EMPEROR from St. Helena, with a view to
take advantage of the national enthusiasm to com-
mute the punishment of the Prince to confinement
in a fortress. That the Prince and some of his
unfortunate followers will be condemned to death
by men who were proud to have the honour of kiss-
ing the hand of his Imperial Uncle, we are pre-
pared to expect ; but our confidence in the humanity
of the King, who will not suffer a drop of their
blood to be shed, is only increased by that circum-
stance. Prince Lours NAPOLEONS destination.
is a fortress, and provided his confinement is not
rendered severer than may be requisite for his safe
custody, we do not think his friends will have any
reason to complain of the harshness of the reigning
family. H►s late ridiculous attempt has deprived
him of the sympathies of the British people, who
now regard him as a madman.
Poor old MoNTHoLoN ! Fool as he was, we
find that his fate has excited some comn►isseration
even in Boulogne. The fidelity of the old soldier
to the Emperor, whose very name acted upon his
imagination like a spell, and who wept like a child
when he saw the Prince a prisoner, affected to
tears many of the spectators. It was stated in
Boulogne on Monday morning, that several influen-
tial members of the National Guard were about to
forward a petition to the KING for the pardo❑ of
the old General, who took no part whatever in the
attack ►nade upon the troops. He had implored
the Prince not to land, and only followed him be-
cause it should never be said that General MoN-
THOLON deserted the nephew of NAPOLEON ►wen
his life was in peril.
On the Eastern question the tone of the French
press of Monday is generally moderate and pa-
cific. The Presse—the Court organ, in concert
with the Journal des Delats—has a long ar-
ticle from a " distinguished" correspondent, and
attributed by some well-informed persons to some
individual in the confidence of Count MOLE, if not
actually from the pen of that statesman, containing
some very curious and important revelations respect-
ing the Eastern question. The Moniteur Pari-
sien, the official organ of the Ministry, contradicts
the statements made by the correspondent of the
Presse, in terms which leave no doubt of the con-
tradiction being the inspiration of the President of
the Council. Both articles will be found in another
part of The Sun, and will repay the trouble of an
attentive perusal.
A private letter from Paris states, that M.
THIERS has triumphed over an intrigue of the
Court to get rid of him, and that he is determined
to continue in office notwithstanding his being the
only obstacle to the petcific adjustment of the
Eastern question. Another letter affirms that the
quadruple treaty will not be enforced by the four
Powers, as a very slight modification of its pro-
visions will satisfy France, who will then un►te
with them in arranging all differences between the
Porte and the VICEROY. Besides these countless
other rumours were in circulation, the burden of
which was that there would be no war, and that all
that France wanted was some show of reparation
for the injury offered to her self-love.
The following is the substance of a letter from a
correspondent of the Constitutionnel in Syria re-
specting the late revolt in that quarter. We do
not vouch for the correctness of the statements it
contains, the writer being evidently a warm partisan
of the VICEROY

The mass of the population took no part in the revolt,
which was designedly magnified by the European resi-
dents and some of the Consular agents in Syria. The
excesses committed by the Arnauts and other Egyptian
troops had also been greatly exaggerated, and two villages
only, flamana and Mallaka, bad been pillaged and de-
stroyed. In their further progress through Lebanon, So-
limen Pacha and Osman Pacha received the submission
of all the shirks, and the people everywhere expressed
the greatest indignation against those by whom they had
been deluded. " When the mad attempt was over," adds
the correspondent of the Constitutionnel, g. I ie-
tulned to Beyrout, and there I acquired a conviction
that the English Government had been, in all this
affair, the dupe of its subaltern agents. Yesterday
( Sunday) Capt. Napier being in my house, told me that
when he arrived, he thought to find the whole of Lebanon
laid waste by the Egyptians. I then showed him two
letters, the one from S oilman Pacha, and the other from
his Aide-do-Camp Arago. The Commodore appeared
greatly surprised at their contents. This is (said he) the
first serious information I have received. The reports
currentiin Beyrout, represented matters quite under a dif-
ferent aspect.' To-day my brother dined board the
Admiral's ship with the British Consul, Mr. Wood; and
Captain Napier repeated that we had furnished him
with the only accurate account of the situation of affairs in
the disturbed districts. We have been deceived,' said he;
then, as the conversation turned upon Syria gene-
rally, he added, Mehemet Ali is an extraordinary
man ; he defeated us all ; we English, who consider our-
selves in point of activity the masters of the world, have
been outdone by him, lie accomplished in a week as hat
no European Power could have achieved in a fortnight.
We had three ways of compromising him ; all of which he
foresaw and defeated. The first was to prevent his squa-
dron leaving Alexandria—he was beforehand with us ; the
second was to oppose the landing in Syria—he was again
beforehand with us; the third was to detach the squadron
from its allegiance, or attack it, or aid the insurrection—
Mehemet Ali has upset all our plans. He is decidedly a
great and a very great man.' We left Captain Napier un-
der this impression, and his language, I must say, breathed
the utmost moderation."
There is no other news of any interest in the
French Journals. The following extracts include
the only intelligence which we find in the German
as well as the French Papers now before us :
" The Ottoman Porte," affirms the Augsburgh Gazette,
" having declined the proposals of the Viceroy, we learn
that the ports of Egypt and Syria are to be blockaded by
a British fleet, and that a Russian army will land at Sinope,
and march towards the defiles of Adana, to attack Ibrahim
Pacha."
The Augsburgh Gazette asserts that an active corre-
spondence is going on at the present moment between
Marshal Marmont and Mehemet Ali.
To-day, about half-past five in the afternoon, a detach-
ment of the regiment which is in the barracks in the Rue
du Faubourg Peissonniere, commanded by an officer, re-
turned from an expedition out of the barrier. It seemed
to have been summoned to aid the civil powers in case of
necessity. Behind the detachment there were two hackney
carriages. In the first there was a man wearing the
cnsignia of some order, and three gendarmes ; in the
second, a lady elegantly dressed. There were three
gendarmes in this carriage also. Both carriages seemed
to be going towards the police-office. —Le Courrier

FRONTIERS OF RUSSIA, JULY 24.—The grand prepara-
tions for this year's campaign against the Circassians con-
tinue to attract public attention. On the 14th of July
3.000 Russian Yagers, with forty pieces of cannon, crossed
the Dniester at Mohilew, to join the troops detached from
Bessarabia to the Caucasus. The mounted frontier guard
furnished twenty men from each company, for the army of
operatives. On the other band the Cossack Guards on
the Pruth, towards Moldavia, have received orders to hold
themselves in readiness to march, probably to occupy the
bank of the Dniester. The immense convoys of baggage
and provisions daily accumulate. The peasants suff,.,r
most severely by the necessity of providing horses

Prince Saxe Coburg, who arrived on the 31st of July*
has received the visit of her Majesty's major:clod-lb, Count
de Santa Colons.

On the following day both the civil and military autho-
rities proceeded to congratulate the Prince on his arrival.
On the 2d the Prince was at the palace, reviewing the
troops. He stood in the balcony near the young Queen,
who appeared entirely absorbed with the natural pleasure
at her age of hearing military music. If the Prince has
come to ncptiate some alliance, it must be admitted that
the time was not very seasonable. The British Consul
gave a grand entertainment yesterday to the Prince, who is
the eldest brother of Prince Albert, consort of Queen Vic-
toria. The French Ambassador, MM. de Mareuil and
Gautier d'Are, and a number of English and French per-
sonages of distinction were present. M. Mathieu de la
Redorte inspires general confidence. The Ayuntantiento
has paid him their respects. The conversation was pretty
long, and the French Ambassador congratulated Senor
Llorcnto, the new political chief at Barcelona, upon his
preclamation, v.hich powerfully contributed to the estab-
lishment of order.

The Ministers arc expected tomorrow or the day after.
The Mazeppa, a small Spanish steamer, has been sent for
them.

The Morning Post has just published in a
Second Edition, the following Extraordinary Ex•

press from Paris :

PARIS, TUESDAY.
The French Government steamer Papin, arrived at
Toulon, on the Bth, with despatches from Alexandria.
Letters from Constantinople via Vienna of the 2•2 d
ult. state that the return of Sami Bey was relied upon
to bring terms from the Pacha, which the Porte could
accept. _ _ _

The news of the defeat of the Russians in Circassia
is confirmed.
Berlin letters of the 4th and Frankfort advices ex-
press the opinion that the peace of Europe will not be
disturbed, as France will not oppose the execution of
the Quadruple Treaty in the East.
The following news," says the Toulonnais, of the
7th, " is announced as positive Admiral Lalande
has quitted the Levant with the Jena to return to
France:"

For the execution of the King's ordonnance of the
9th, the Chancellor of France has just addressed to the
members of the Court of Peers letters of convoca-
tion for the 18th instant. The Court, according to its
usages in its first sittings, will confine its business to
hear the reading of the King's ordonnance, and of the
Requisitoire of the Procurcur General, and to order
the decree, if it thinks proper, for the trial. The
ulterior proceedings can only take place after the indict-
ment is ready.—Moniteur of Tuesday.
The Gazette des Tlibunaux states that the trial
can commence in September.
A private letter stotes that Prince Louis Napoleon
cannct be legally tried for high treason, as he is not
a Frenchman. He can only be considered as a prisoner
of war.

Louis Philippe was at Eu, where M. Thiers was
to he on Tuesday night. Guizot was at Tronville.
The Prince of Saxe Coburg arrived on the 6th at
Marseilles from Barcelona.

- - Madrid papers of the 4th announce that Murcia is
in a state of siege. The civil and military authorities
of Grenada had resigned.
Eleven Generals besides O'Donnel had sent in
resignations of their commands. Madrid was quiet,

The following paragraph includes the only
,
news of any interest in the Dutch papers received
this morning :
AMSTERDAM, AUG. B.—The Chamber of Commerce
and Manufactures of Amsterdam has published a notice to
the effect that, according to arrangements made by his
Majesty the Emperor of Russia, in concert with the
Danish Government, American Cotton, no matter under
what flag, and coming from any European ports excepting
those of the Mediterranean, will be henceforth admitted
into the Russian ports in the Baltic without being fur-
nished with clean bills of health delivered by the Danish
quarantine officers. The American origin of the cotton
must be proved by the requisite certificates delivered by
the Russian Consuls in the ports from which it is con-
signed, or, in the absence of Consuls, by certificates of
the local authorities.

We received yesterday accounts of the meeting at
Birmingham, where it is said 10,000 persons assembled,
for the purpose of adducing reasons to impeach Lord
Palmerston, under the guidance of Mr. C. Attwood,
but it turned out a complete failure. Mr. C. Attwood
spoke for two hours. Our Correspondent, however, has
not communicated one word he said, and we therefore
conclude it was too absurd to be given. Mr. Collins,
on a motion being made for demanding the execution of
the Foreign Secretory, moved as an amendment that the
people would not consent to join any movement which
had not for its object the obtaining of the Charter. This
was carried by an immense majority, and the multitude
then retired quietly, and Lord Palmerston therefore has
had a reprieve for the present.
THE HORSE GUARDS.—Can any of our readers tell
how the yellow-haired burly Saxons who compose the bulk
of the Horse Guai ds come to have black moustaches?
If they be died black, will any admirers of the hues of
clinics more tropical than England, tell us the advan-
tages of the change ?

Grouse shooting commences on Wednesdai
next. Good sport is expected, as both grouse and black
cocks are said to be abundant,'and strong on the wing.
Already large parties of sportsmen are hastening away to

HARVEST PROSPECTS.—The country papers
continue to supply us with extremely favourable reports
from their respective districts. We are promised an abund-
ant harvest. The wheat Was never known to look better,
while the barley and bean crops in most counties are re.
presented as indicating more than an average produce.
The orchards, too, look well ; in many districts the trees
are said to be bent low by their burden of fruit The
weather has been everything
that could be desired now for
a fortnight. The labours of the husbandman are in full
operation everywhere, and a considerable breadth of grain
has been secured in several parts of the country.
A NEW SOLEMN LEAGUE AND COVENANT
......We understand that measures are now taking by some
of the Non-Intrusion clergy to form an association, com-
posed of clerical and lay Non.ln:rusionists, binding them.
selves to "retract, no, not an hair's breadth," from the
doctrine laid down by the majority of the last
Assembly, in reference to the settlement of
Ministers. The formation of this league has not yet,
so far as we know, been brought before the public, but
circulars are flying in abandance throughout the parishes
of Scotland, announcing a mectiog to be held in Edinburgh
on the 11th instant, with a view to carry the object of
the prejectors into effect. The circular is subscribed,
among others, by the Rev. Messrs. Cavendish and Cun-
Cfohrumrch a
ninghame, Edinburgh; Buchanan, Glasgow ; and Burns,
Paisley ; and invites those to whom it is addressed, to join
in the proposed league and covenant, and to attend the
meeting in Edinburgh for that purpose. Our readers are

appears, to have the two parties in the Church fairly pitted
against each other, beyond the walls of the Church Courts.
Hitherto the antagonist parties, unless when an overruling
civil lower has interfered, have confined their warfare to
the arena of ecclesiastical discussion, and under cover of
the forms and regulations of Church polity ; but now they
are drawing their forces out into the open field, where,
unchecked by forms and precedents, they will, of course,

circumstance occurred on Tuesday afternoon, about four
o'clock, near Belmont, in the vicinity of Hereford. James

his back, when the latter Incoming alarmed, in consequence
of an attempt on the part of the other to rid hhaself of

swimmer being thus rendered completely useless, both
were unfortunately drowned.—lllerlie.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAt.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

`there has been very little Corn of any kind fresh up since
Monday. '1 he factors showed a strong disposition to sell
Wheat, but very few buyers could be obtained, so that the
trade may be reported rather lower than on Monday. In
Barley, Beans, and Pease no variation. For good Oats more
money was asked, and other sorts found some sales at last
quotations. Flotir unaltered.
NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL.

Although the supply was moderate, the demand was not
brisk, and prices as follow :—Beef, 2s. 10d. to 3s. 10d. ;
Mutton, 3s. to 4s. ; Lamb, ss. 6d. to 6s. 4d. ; Veal, 3s. 10d.

was in fair request ; the supplies were small, but in prices
there has heen no alteration. Eggs in large supply at ss. 3d.
to 6s. 6d. per 120, dull market.
COLONIAL MARKET.
Prices were firm, particularly for Coffee, Tea, Rum, and
Spices ; Raw Sugar sold slowly, but the holders were not in-
clined to force sales, owing to the unfavourable accounts from
the West Indies. The publie sales consisted principally of
Mauritius Sugar and East India Rice, which went off without
spirit, but in prices little variation occurred. The imports were
to a fair extent again. •
TEA MARKET.
The demand was good, and prices firm. Company's Congou

The followng are extracts from Hale's New York
Price Current of the 14th of July:—
FINANCIAL—Since our last the indications of a
speedy resumption of specie payment by the Philadelphia
and Baltimore Banks of the whole South have been more
favourable. United States Bank money has risen from
dis. to 23-, and Exchange now rules 2-1 to 2} discount
between here and Philadelphia. Money continues very
abundant, and without any demand for it. The rise in Ex-
change and Bills is owing to the accumulation of Bank ba-
lances in this city in favour of the Ssuth, a fact which looks
favourable to an approaching resumption. The decision
in favour of the Boston creditors of the United States
Bank has created much surprise, and has had an unfavour-
able influence on the stock of the Bank.
" The Bankrupt Law has been flitted in the House since
our last report. The Sub-Treasury Law goes into opera-
tion i►► this port on this day. The law now requires one-
fourth of all Government dues to be paid in specie; after
June, 1841, one-half in specie."
Havannah papers have been received to the 6th of July.
They are discussing there the propriety of establishing a
Bank at the Havannah.

The Jamaica Paper Dispatch, of the 16th June, says
there is no truth in the story about the fight between cer-
tain slavers and the boats of an English ship of war. The
wreck spoken of in connection with the same matter was
no slaver, but a Spanish brig bound from Cadiz to Havan-
nah. She was got off and towed to Havarnah by the Racer
ship of war.
NEW ORLEANS, JULY I.—During the few days which
have succeeded our report of Saturday last, our market
has been unusually quiet in almost all departments.
We stated in our report of Saturday morning that the
Cotton Market, though exceedingly firm at the advanced
rates then quoted, was nevertheless rather inactive, owing
among other causes to the difficulty of procuring vessels.
Subsequently to the closing of that report, however, on
Friday night, seven or eight ships arrived, which gave
fresh impulse to business. The operations of Saturday
having amounted to fully 2,300 rates at full prices, on
Monday the market was quiet. The stock on sale now of
all descriptions is very light.
We have received Rio Janeiro papers two days later to
the 22d May.
EXCHANGE ON LONDON, JULY 30.—Stock, 76.
The Quebec papers state that it is supposed that his Ex-
cellency's voyage is connected with the difficulties be-
tween Sir Colin Campbell, the Lieutenant-Governor of
Nova Scotia, and the Provincial Assembly. It is also
said that his Excellency's intention is, to proceed to New
Brunswick on matters relating to the boundary question.
We copy from the New York Inquirer of the 14th July
the following :—" New issue of the Government Bank.
—There were yesterday circulating in Wall-street Trea-
sury, notes of the denomination of 50 dollars, payable at
twelve months hence, and bearing an interest of 21 per
cent. These notes are issued as a circulating medium ;
they are the new issues of the Great Government Bank,
of which Martin Van Buren is President."

TUB FUNDS.

The Queen's Speech in general is looked upon as pa
cific, in consequence of which the British opened with an
improvement at 91i i for the Account ; since then there

HALF-PAST ONE.
The Quebec papers contain a letter from their corres-
pondent at Montreal, giving an account from the Three
Rivers of an unsuccessful attempt to burn the Governor-in-
Chief and the Chief Justice in effigy.
We have received the Dutch papers of the 11th August,
by the Batavier Dutch steamer. Amsterdam price?, Two-
and-t- Half per Cents., 52 5-16 ; Five per Cents., 1001 ;
Ardoins Spanish, 231. Last week they were all sellers,
and at present they are all buyers. The Two•and.a- Half
and Five per Cents. have improved from Saturday to
Monday each 1 per cent.
The British market, which bad a bright appearance at
the opening of the market this morning, when Consols
were 91f i for the Account, did not last long ; on a sud-
den the market gave ray, and several influential brokers
appeared in the market as sellers to a considerable ex•
tent, which caused Consols to recede to 91i -I. To the
present hour we cannot account for the depression in any
authentic shape. Within a short period a slight reaction
has taken place, and Consuls have improved to 91+1 for
the Account, since which are again 91+ ; Money 91+ ;
Exchequer Bills lower, 26 24 prem. ; Bank Stock nothing
done; India Stock 254.
