SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY l5, 1847.

We could scarcely hope for a course of strict and
unbending rectitude from one whose private interests
are brought into collision with his pitlic duties, and
who is too well aware that the faithful' and conscien-
tious discharge of the latter will plunge the former
into irretrievable ruin. We can hardly hope that selfish
considerations will not ultimately triumph in the
great majority of cases, or expect unbiassed decisions
from those who are obliged to become the mere pup-
pets of a superior power. A British judge, therefore,
holds his office dum se bene gesserit, and cannot be
removed or suspended therefrom save on an address
to the Crown from both Houses of Parliament ; and
it is due to the eminent and learned men who have
been selected for the ermine to state that there never
has been the slightest occasion to desire that the
power of unconditional dismissal had been retained
in the Crown.
This judicial independence is, if possible, more
urgently required in our dependencies than in the
mother country. Here there are reports of numerous
decisions published, by which almost every question
that may arise is governed and regulated ; there is
an observant press recording and circulating through-
out every part of the country the legal proceedings,
and, in the event of any impropriety in the conduct
thereof, ready to expose the error, and to awaken
the public indignation against the offender,
and there are many competent and learned men who
cannot be deceived or blinded by any sophistry or
plausibility, by which an effort may be made to make
the worse appear the better reason. By these means
the most efficient control is established. The voice
of public opinion is never slighted or despised. In
the great majority of our colonies these things are
totally different. The existing laws are generally a
sort of compound between the old lex loci and
those portions of the British law that from time to
time have been added thereto, and brought into ope-
-1 ration in the district. The complicated and motly
character of this patchwork code necessarily affords a
much wider discretion to the presiding judge than
that which exists in the parent state. He is to a
certain extent treading on new ground, and may put
for ward principles and reasons for his judgments
which could have no possible force here.
He has, therefore, a far greater opportunity, if dis-
honestly inclined, of abusing his power than is afforded
to.,an English judge. There are no reports of former
decisions to guide or direct him in his judgment, or
in opposition to which he must assign good and suffi-
cient reasons if disposed to overrule or set them aside.
There is no powerful journalist to expose his delin-
quencies should he go astray, and the members of the
bar practising in his court are few in number, and,
generally speaking, the anxious seekers after Go-
vernment patronage. Every reason, therefore, tends
to establish the vast importance of placing our colo-
nial judges in a proper position, and extending the
rule that has so long been beneficially acted on in
this country to our several colonies and dependencies.
Mr. LANGsLow has certainly just grounds of
complaint, and we cannot believe that our
countrymen will regard with indifference the
manner in which he has been treated. Having
distinguished himself as a barrister on the Western
Circuit, where he had practised with every prospect of
success, he, in the year 1832, accepted the office of
Attorney- General at Malta, and thereupon relin-
quished his English connexion, and devoted himself
wholly to the public service. When he had filled that
situation six years, we are bound to believe efficiently
and well, from the fact of his having been subse-
quently selected for promotion, the office was abo-
lished and a pension was granted to him until his
services could again be made available. In 1840 he
was appointed one of the district judges of Ceylon, in
which situation he continued to act until deprived of
his office by Lord STANLEY, on what we must consi-
der most frivolous and insufficient grounds. Against
that sentence Mr. LANGSLOW appeals, and impeaches
its justice openly and publicly. Lord STANLEY,
forsooth, complains of the failure of his temper and
want of self-control and discretio:7.
" Oh wad some power the giftie gie us,
To see ourselves as others see us."
We should hardly find that Noble Lord considering
such defects as sufficient to incapacitate the person
so affected from the public service ; but be is also di-
latory in the administration of justice. True it ie
there is a tribunal which constitutionally should decide
`every question of that description, and to which, if
the dismissal were justified on such grounds, Mr.
LANGSLOW would be entitled to appeal ; but that
would be expensive ; and in mercy to him ! ! Lord
STANLEY grounds his removal from office on other
grounds, so as to exclude that appeal—to prevent him
from submitting his case to the judgment of learned
and impartial men. Such a proceeding cannot pos-
sibly be justified, and Mr. LANGSLOW would clearly
be entitled to a revision of his sentence from the pre-
sent Ministry, but for what, with all respect for the
Noble Lord the Secretary for the Colonies, we must
designate as a most ridiculous and absurd regulation
which he has adopted, investing his predecessors with
an official infallibility, and refusing to reconsider or
interfere with any decision at which they might have
arrived, no matter how erroneous it may be.
We trust that this rule may speedily be altered,
and that Earl GREY may not, by a strict adherence
thereto, subject himself to the charge of being the
participator in and abettor of tyranny and oppression.

We read in a letter from Constantinople in the
Augsburgh Gazette —" The French Embassy had
addressed to the Porte reclamations relative to debts
contracted by the last administration of Tripoli and
of Barbary, which debts the Porte took upon itself.
The affair has just been analysed, the debt recog-
nised by the Porte as being due to France, being
settled at 1,600,000 Turkish piastres (about
400,000 f.)"
According to the last arrivals from St. Peters-
burgh, the Emperor N 'camas will not go into Ger-
many this year. His MAJESTY is said to have directed
his Minister of Foreign Affairs to collect in August
at St. Petersburgh all the diplomatic representatives
of Russia to the Great Powers.
A letter from Berne of the 9th says,—

" The day before yesterday M. de Bois-10-Comte went
to the President of the Diet, and read to him a somewhat
long dispatch dated 4th July, by which M. Guizot not
only fully ratified the language held by the Ambassador
in his famous discours ecrit, but even strengthened the
expression of his idea by ascribing to the great conti-
nental power with respect to our country more hostile
intentions than a simple examination of the complica-
tions which may arise in case the majority of the Swiss
states should take collective measures against the mi-
nority. In a word, the written language of M. Guizot i
in complete opposition with the declaratiows that h
made in the Chamber of Deputies in the sitting in which
the interpellations took place. After having read this
dispatch to M. Ochsenbein, the Ambassador offered, ac-
cording to usage, to leave him a copy. The President of
the Vorort at first replied by a positive refusal, but
afterwards consented to the formality, declaring, how-
ever, that as the dispatch was not addressed to him as
President, nor to the Vorort, he could not communi-
cate it officially either to the Diet or the Directory."

Madrid papers of the Bth have arrived.
The Faro of that day had been seized on account o:
an article on the Palace question.

Don FRANCISCO DE PAULA was present at the
banquet given to the POPE'S Nuncio. The Ministers
had neglected to invite him, but the QUEEN caused
him to be sent for, and he was present at her
MAJESTY'S express desire.

The mission of Senor SARAGOSSA to NARVAEZ to
induce the General to place himself at the head of a new
Cabinet had failed. NARVAEZ replied that he could
not leave Paris, as he had pressing affairs to arrange
with Queen CHRISTINA.
Carlist bands have appeared in the neighbourhood
of Gerona.

"DUKE OF SALDANHA.

"Head-quarters at Richouza,
July 2, 184$"
The Marquis of LOULE, and several other dis-
tinguished membrs of the Junta, have arrived at
Lisbon. The Conde DAs ANTAS and the Visconde
SA DA BANDEIRA are still detained as prisoners. It
is rumoured that the QUEEN, unmindful of the recent
lesson which has been taught her, is about to recal
COSTA CABRAL. Several Cabralistas have been ap-
pointed to high official situations, and these appoint-
ments being in direct violation of the promises
made when foreign intervention was asked for,
have given great umbrage. Neither has the QUEEN
performed her promise of entering at once upon a
constitutional course of government. A decree was
issued on the 9th, continuing to the end of July
the suspension of the guarantees of personal liberty,
and prohibiting until that day the publication of
newspapers and pamphlets.
Generals POVOAS, GUEDES, BERNANDINO, and
REBOCIIO, and the three members of the Junta of
" the Supreme Government of the kingdom," JOSE
DA SILVA. PASSOS, FRANCISCO DE PAULA. LOBO
D'AVILA, and JUSTINO FERREIRA PINTO BASTO,
sailed from Oporto to Vigo on the 3d. CESAR DE
VASCONCELLOS went through the country to his pro-
perty at Torres Novas, near Santarem. These gen-
tlemen considered it prudent to retire from Oporto
untill tranquillity would be fully restored.

We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday.
They confirm the report which we mentioned yes-
terday of .the confession and attempted suicide of M.
TESTE. The evidence produced before the Chamber
of Peers on Monday was conclusive as to the guilt of
M. TESTE. It appears that M. PELLAPRA, finding
that an attempt was making to save M. TESTE by
convicting him (PELLAPRA) of swindling, determined
to tell the truth, and confiding to Madame PELLAPRA
certain documents, desired her to transmit them to
the Chancellor. Those documents were transmitted
accordingly, and were ♦erified by M. ROQUEBERT,
the notary of PELLAPRA, before the Chamber on

Monday.
The evidence of M. ROQUEBERT left no doub
on any person's mind that the bribe of 100,000
francs had been received by the Minister. While
this witness was deposing to the fact messengers
from the Chancellor were searching the books at
the proper department of the Minister of Finance to
verify an account furnished by Madame PELLAPRA
from among her husband's papers, described as a me-
morandum of the sum paid to the Minister, and the
shape in which it was paid--viz., Treasury bills.
Towards the latter part of the day extracts from the
Treasury books were exhibited, showing that on the
2d of March, 1843, M. PELLAPRA had taken four
Treasury bills, for which be paid 94,000 f., which fell
due on the 2d of September following, but were not
demanded till the 12th ; and on that same day, the
12th, CHARLES TESTE, the Minister's son, lodged
95,000 f. for a Treasury bill to his own order, payable
the 12th of March following. The memorandum
bAng thus verified, M. TESTE was called on to offer
some explanation, but he merely demanded a copy of
that document as well as of the notes and papers
furnished by Madame PELLAPRA. The transaction,
he said, appeared to belong to his son. Leaving the
court, however, he was heard to exclaim that he was
a lost man.
At the conclusion of the day's proceedings M.
TESTE was taken back to prison. The following
account of what took place there in the course of the
evening is from the National:—
" Between eight and nine o'clock last evening an
explosion was heard in one of the chambers of the
prison of the Luxembourg, occupied by the accused
parties in the affair of the Gouhenans mines. The
attennants immediately-rushed in, and it Was tountl
that M. TESTS had attempted to commit suicide.
He had placed a pistol in his mouth, and pulled the
trigger, but the pistol missed fire. He then placed a
second pistol close to his heart, and fired, but he had
pressed the weapon with such force against the part
that the ball did not enter, and fell to the ground.
No wound was inflicted, and the only trace of the
explosion was a black mark from the powder on the
flannel waistcoat and the skin. It was remarked
that the discharge of the second pistol produced a
severe contusion and a violent swelling, and that it
was with great difficulty M. TESTE could be induced
to submit to have the contusion dressed."
The trial was resumed on Tuesday, but M. TESTE
was not present.
The report of the Commissary' of Police was
read, which stated that having heard of the attempt
at suicide by M. TESTE, he (the Commissary) had
repaired to the prison of the Luxembourg, and upon
his addressing an interrogation to M. TESTE, the latter
acknowledged what he had done, saying " It is true ;
I did attempt to commit suicide. I have ever pre-
ferred honour to life. It was my own son who pro-
cured me the pistols, and I thank him for the act,
which I esteem one of filial piety."
The declaration of Dr. BATLE was next read, de-
scribing the state of the prisoner. There was a con-
tusion on the left breast. The pistol had been so
tightly pressed upon the region of the heart as to have
been deprived of air, and the ball could not penetrate.
The doctor ordered an application of leeches ; M.
TESTE obstinately refused to allow their application
but permitted him to apply an emollient poultice. The
pistols were pocket pistols.
The director of the prison stated that he heard a
report, which he first took to be a squib. Having
asked a turnkey if he had heard a report, and the
latter answering in the negative, he went up to M.
TESTE'S room. He saw seated on the staircase M.
TESTS'S servant, looking pale and mute with fear.
He hastened by him into the chamber. M. TESTE
had on his trousers and shirt only. Witness ques-
tioned M. TESTS, asking with great emotion, " What
have you done ?" "Monsieur le Directeur," coldly
replied M. TESTE, and putting his hand upon his
breast, "I am not hurt, and I am less moved than
you are." The witness called for the doctor to be
sent for, and set about -looking for the pistols. M.
TESTE told him he need not trouble himself seeking,
as they were on his desk.
Another witness confirmed this testimony, adding
that M. TESTE was perfectly calm.
It was proved by the man servant that prisoner's
counsel, Messrs. PAILLET and DEBRA/iT, had dined
with the prisoner in the evening, and that nothing
occurred to excite suspicion of his intention. He
suddenly saw a light, and heard a slight report, when
running into his master's chambers he exclaimed,
"M. le President, what have you done ?" and then
ran out, crying for help, and sat down on the stairs,
where he was found by the director of the prison.
The Chancellor then called on M. RENOUARD,
the reporter of the commission, to read a letter he had
received from M. TESTS that morning. It was as
follows :
"M. le Chancelier,—The incidents of yesterday's
hearing allow no room for contradiction. Further
discussion becomes useless. I accept all that the
Court may choose to do in my absence, for my pre-
sence is henceforth of no necessity, unless indeed it
should judge right to constrain my appearance by
force. I respect its authority, and resign myself to it."
The Greffier of the Chamber read a report of the
huissier, to the effect that M. TESTE bad refused to
accompany him to the bar of the court. He said
that " his presence was useless ; that he could not
combat the facts produced against him; and that he
dearly expiated the one sole act of weakness of his
whole life."
The Procureur-General then called upon the Court
to declare all the accused guilty, and the counsel for
Holland. It is generally
the accused were proceeding with their addresses
when the post left.

The KING and QUEEN of the FRENCH left Paris on
Monday for Dreux. •
The death of Lieutenant-General SCHNEIDER,
Deputy for the Moselle, and former Minister of War,
was announced in the Chamber of Deputies on Mon-

day,
A letter from Tangiers, of the 27th ult., says—
" The son of the Emperor is at Fez, and endeavours
to counterbalance by preparations for war the deplora-
ble effect produced on the minds of the Arabs by the
defeat and death of Kai& el-Hamar. Already have a
thousand horse and fifteen pieces of cannon been sent to
Tazz). to oppose Abd-el-Kader if he should assume the
offensive. But the general opinion is that the troops of
the Sultan will not dare to attack Abd-el-Kader, or that
if the chief commits that imprudence, the greater part of
the soldiers of Morocco will side with the Emir, whose
influence increases every day, and menaces the security
of the empire. The death of the kald is thus related:—
He was surprised in his tent by Bou Hamedi, brother-in-
law of Abd-el-Kader. Some Moorish soldiers attempted
to defend him, and he, seizing his gun, fired at Bou
Elamedi, but missed him; Bou Hamedi then shot him down
with a pistol, and afterwards cut off his head with his
own hand, The Moorish soldiers, four hundred in
number, seeing their chief dead, demanded the aman,
and placed themselves in the service of Abd-el-Ka,der.
All the Riff has revolted, and every one only waits until
the harvest shall be finished and put in a place of safety,
to enter into sampaign, it Abd-el-Kader shall give the
signal. The harvest is very fine in all parts ; wheat,
which was worth 16 to 18 ounces the almud, has de-
scended to 7 or 8 ounces, and will decline still more
after the harvest."

disposition to force up the price of the article, quite in-
dependent of demand. The transactions h.cluded 8,000

It is long since so painful a sensation has: been ex
cited as by the disclosures of bribery and corruption at
Paris, and as the obtainment of concessions for public
companies, railways especially, has been a source of con-
siderable trouble to the directors of Anglo -French
companies, it has been surmised that some of
the obstacles imposed may have arisen from the
anticipation of douceurs which the English nego-
tiators were neither accustomed nor inclined to
give. Whether any actual overtures or promises
of concessions for a consideration were ever indirectly
made, we are not prepared to state, but possibly all the
corruption practised is not yet brought to light.
There has been some demand for money in Stock Ex-
change circles within the last few days, owing to the
rather heavy accounts in progress of adjustment, and in
the general discount market capital is expected to be taken
up more freely for the legitimate purposes of trade. With
respect to the large imports of grain, a good portion of the
amount, at least, must have been paid, according to the
practice abroad, before the corn was shipped, and this
should be taken into account in estimating our remain.
ing liability. The French loan may not, after all, re-
quire much of English capital, as it is not likely to be
very Popular; and for the Spanish loan, we should think
no one here will be so silly as to embark tnevein.
The English Funds have had a firmer tone to-day, and
the Bear party are now said to have accounts still un-
settled, while the speculators for a rise are reported to
be nearly " even." Without professing any sympathy
for either party, we may remark that the market has
been kept down lately without any apparent justification,
and that, left to its own influence and favoured by fine
weather, there would be doubtless an improvement in the
quotations. Consols are now 881 to 884 for present trans-
fer, and 89 to 89i for August. The New Three and-a-
Quarter per Cents. realised 904 to 91; and the Three per
Cents. 89 to 894. Bank Stock is 195 to 1962. Exchequer-
bills have been 10s. t) 13s. premium.
The market fur Spanish Bonds has been flatter, pend-
ing the discussion at the meeting of bondholders now in
progress. The Five per Cents. are 21i 4; and the. Three
per Cents. 314. Portuguese Four per Cents. are no-
minally higher. Mexican Bonds are 19i i ; and Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 571.
