THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 16, 1847.

I their guest in the important offices he has hitherto I
filled, and their earnest hope that he will, in the ad-
ministration of the affairs of the vast empire over
which he has been selected to preside, afford new
evidences of his skill and judgment, that the British
interests, the British honour, and the British justice,
will be maintained in his hands, and that he will
deliver his trust to his successor, whenever he may re-
turn to his native land, to enjoy the otium cum dig-
nitate, unimpaired and untarnished.
The duties of the high station which has thus de-
' volved on the Noble Earl are of no trivial weight, of
no unimportant character. If the appointment is one
of the most honourable and lucrative in the gift of
the Crown, it is likewise, probably, the most arduous
and responsible. True, it is, that many dark and
lowering :clouds, that formerly hung over the entire
country with ominous and threatening aspect, are no
longer visible in the political atmosphere ; peace and
tranquillity have been restored in almost every por-
tion of the entire Anglo-Indian empire, while no appear-
ance of hostility is discernible amongst our neighbours.
The British power has been established, and the
native princes have received the most impressive
lessons, not,, only of our valour and energy in war,
but of our moderation and justice in the hour of
triumph ; not only of the hopelessness of provoking
a contest, in which they must be aware that 'success
is almost impossible, but also of its uselessness and
absurdity, greater attention being paid to the remon-
strances of those who appeal to our justice or gene-
rosity in the garb of peace, than if backed and sup-
ported by myriads of armed troops. Our Indian
dominions have never been in a more prosperous or
tranquil condition than at the present Lime, and,
consequently, this is the propitious moment for in-
troducing reforms and ameliorations by which the
happiness and welfare of the countless millions who
acknowledge the British rule may be advanced, and
the best interests of the parent State may be pro-
moted. The arts of peace are now to be practised, the
extraordinary, resources of the empire are to be deve-
loped to the utmost extent. The burdens that un-
duly affect the native population, are to be removed
or mitigated, so far as it may be practicable to do so

The taxes that press on their industry must be revised,

Ind extensive alterations effected. Monopoly must
be abolished wherever it still exists ; and, first, that
gigantic and baneful salt monopoly, by which such
grievous injustice is committed, and the hum-

ble comforts of the people are so seriously
impaired. The collection of the revenue must be
placed on a new footing. The principles of free
trade must everywhere be carried out, and its good
Afects will speedily be visible. The cultivation of

the cotton crop must be encouraged, and the impedi-
ments and difficulties heretofore interposed in the
way of its production must be set aside. The heavy
Customs duties on the exportation of the products of
the country must be entirely abolished, or at least

important modifications introduced, and the facility
internal communications, whether by railways or
)therwise, increased as far as practicable.

These are a few only of the matters of deep and
?ressing exigence to which the attention of the
noble Earl will have to be directed on his
arrival at the seat of Government. He will
he required, as he stated, " to set a stout heart to a
steep brae." He has already proved himself to be pos-

sessed of the qualities that fit him for hie high posi-
tion ; by his own talents and his own industry he has
worked himself forward until he has attained the
lofty eminence on which he is now placed. His selec-
tion is equally honourable to himself and to those by
whom he was chosen. During his whole political
career he had been opposed to the present Govern-
ment, but, notwithstanding that opposition, his abili-
ties and integrity had been appreciated, and twice he
had received the offer of office from the Whig Mi-
nistry, and on the present occasion that offer was

freely repeated and as freely accepted, without any
sacrifice of principle. The Noble Earl stated that

"he was bound to say, with pleasure and
gratitude, that no men could have behaved

more frankly, more confidentially, or more honourably
to him than her MAJESTY'S advisers had done in this

instance." This confidence will enable him to carry
into execution those measures that may appear ad-
visable, but it will increase ths responsibilities of
which his Lordship seems to be so fully aware. We
trust that the expectations that have been formed will

not be disappointed ; that the knowledge of coax-

wercial matters acquired during his Lordship's con-

flexion with the Buard of Trade may be turned to the

best advantage, and that on his return he may be

greeted with a testimonial of esteem, respect, and
approbation similar to that by which his departure
was cheered and honoured.

Intelligence bas been received from Lisbon, to the
9th, by the b team-ship Iberia. The split between
SALDANITA and the CABRALS is complete. The Duke
Of TF.ECEIRA, has joined SALDANILL'S party. Serious
disturbances had taken place at Oporto. All parties
were busy preparing for the elections. The Bank of
Portugal was about to issue 2,000 contos of reis in
notes.

A combined attempt at insurrection has broken out
simultaneously at Reggio and Messina to the cries of
" Long live the Constitution !" but these attempts
were repressed. A letter from Naples, dated the
sth, announces that the steamer the Polypheme,
which arrived on the evening of the 3d in that town,
had brought some particulars respecting these at-
tempts, of which the Neapolitan Government had been
previously informed by telegraph. The authorities
and the troops who were on the spot sufficed to re-
establish order. The 3d and 4th regiments of the
line had marched without hesitation against the in-
surgents, although Colonel Busacca of the 3d had
been struck by two balls. According to what the
Yeapolitan Government caused to be published in the
evening of the 4th, in an extraordinary supplement of
the official journal, the affair had no gravity. The in-
tendant of Messina announced that only four persons
had been killed ; but it was rumoured at Leghorn that
300 persons had perished in the engagement. After
having re-assured the population of Naples by the
publication of the supplement, the King of the Two
SICILIES caused two battalions of the 6th regiment
of the line, which were at Capua, as well as the Bth
regiment of the line and a battalion of sappers and
miners, which were in the capital, to be immediately
embarked in five of the Government steam-vessels.
General NUNZIANTE took the command of these
troops, and received orders to throw two battalions
into Reggio and afterwards proceed to Monteleone
with the three others. The following are the terms
in which the Neapolitan Government has announced
the disturbances :—" We announce, assuredly to the
general satisfaction, that Messina and Reggio (where
public tranquillity has been troubled by the act of a
mob of malevolent persons, have, thanks to the
bravery and excellent spirit of the royal troops, re-
turned to a state of perfect calm. We give this
simple notice this evening, the journal of this day
being already published."
Letters from Turin of the 9th inst. 'announce the
arrival there of Monsignor CORBOLLI Bussr, who
had been sent by the POPE to negotiate an offensive
and defensive alliance between Piedmont and Rome.
Tuscany was believed to have already adhered to the
alliance. The POPE'S Envoy was immediately re-
ceived by the KING, with whom he transacted busi-
ness without the intervention of M. SOLAR Ds LA
MARGARITA, the Minister for Foreign Affairs.
It is said that King CHARLES ALBERT has de-
clared that if Austria does not give satisfaction to
the POPE he will proclaim the independence of Italy.
The Piceno of Ancona gives the following as part
of the letter written by the King of SARDINIA to the
PopE, offering him support. The latter portion of
the
extract is of such a nature as to throw a doubt
over the whole :—" As a Ring and an obedient son of
the Holy See, I acknowledge that we are bound by
y
the same ties as father and son. I highly disapprove
of the conduct of Austria, and place at
the disposal
y
of your Holiness the whole of the forces of my kin
dom. At the same time, I have directed someofmmg:
troops to march upon that part of Italy which is in 3
the possession of the EMPEROR, with orders not to
return till after the Austrians have evacuated the
Pontifical States."

A letter from Milan of the 9th says—
" After thirty-three years of peace and tranquillity
Milan has at length had its agitation. The following
are some details of a disturbance which took place
here last night. The popular fetes and illuminations
for the reception of the new Archbishop, M. Romilli,
could not take place on the sth on account of the bad-

ness of the weather, and were put off till yesterday.
The people assembled in the Piazza Fontana, crying,
Long live Romilli !" Long live Pius IX. when
suddenly between five and six hundred persons came
from the Porta Tessine in martial order, shouting—
`ltaly for ever!' and singing in loud chorus Rossini's
hymn to Pius IX. The police immediately sent a
company of mounted gendarmes to disperse the
thousands of people gathered in the square, and
no one can depict the scene of confusion that ensued.
The 500 or 600 of the populace kept their ground,
and resisted the armed force, shouting, Down
with the police Down with the Austrians 1' The
riot soon became so serioua that the new Archbishop
went down into the square, accompanied by M.
Greppi, the Municipal Councillor, and harangued
the people, M. Greppi also addressing them as friends
and comrades. The rioters removed from the square,
but re-assembled in another place. All the patrols
of the police and the troops were assailed, disarmed,
and insulted, by having their faces spit upon, amidst
cries of Down with the Germans!' There was also
another movement in the Campo Santo, and in the
twinkling of an eye, the policemen, gendarmes, and
troops, were compelled to give way to the superior
force of the populace. At a later hour further re-
inforcements came up, and by four in the morning
order was nearly restored. But we apprehend there
will be renewed disturbances this evening."
Some disturbances took place at Arezzo on the 4th,
and the rioters attacked the bakers' shops. A civic
guard was at once organized, which restored tran-
quillity by arresting the ringleaders of the rioters.
A letter from Leghorn of the 9th says—
" After the manifestation which took place on the
4th the agitation went on increasing. All affairs were
suspended, the people were continually in the streets,
executing military promenades to the heat of the
drum. The troops quitted their flags, took the
cockade of the three Italian colours, and fraternised
with the people. The inhabitants of Pisa proceeded
en masse to Leghorn, and the two populations united.
Te Deuin was chaunted, and the clergy blessed the
national flag from the cathedral, before an immense
crowd of people, kneeling down. On this occasion,
Professor Montanelli, of Pisa, delivered an energetic
speech, which had great effect on the auditory. lie
said that they must prepare themselves for resistance,
for attack, and for the conquest of Italian independence
by arms. The committee, which was charged by the
people to prepare the grand fete of the Bth, had drawn
up a programme, which was scrupulously executed.
All the parishes of the city and the adjacent country as-
sembled, and marched in procession, with the clergy at
their head. A Te:Deum was again chaunted, in
honour of the Pope and of the Grand Duke. A
statue of the latter was uncovered, amidst the accla-
mations; of the crowd, and very animated speeches
were delivered. An order of the day prescribed to
all the people to take the tricolour cockade, to which
were joined the colours of the Pope, and the Italian
flag was displayed. Greater enthusiasm was never
seen. No one, however, can say what may be the
consequences of that political demonstration. The
leaders of this movement began to be uneasy with
respect to the moment at which it would be necessary
to disperse these masses of people who had quitted
their work. In the meantime a rendezvous was given
to the people for Monday, the 12th September, under
the windows of the Palace Pitti. The railways will

serve for the conveyance of an innumerable crowd.
The programme of this new demonstration had not
been drawn up, but there was a talk of demanding
the unlimited liberty of the press, and of proclaiming
a constitution."

The Observer of Trieste contains the following
letter, dated Pola, the 2d instant :—" This morning
five ships of war of the Austrian naval division left
this port. These vessels entered here on the 26th ult."
Madrid journals of the 9th have arrived.

The Duke of Fnias arrived at Madrid on that day,

The Eco del Comercio states that General MAZ-
ZEREDO is desirous of being sent as Ambassador to

London.

According to the Espanol, Senor ZARAGOZA w•il
be Under-Secretary of the Interior, and Senor CA.
BESTENAY Political Chief of Madrid.

MADRID BOLSA, SEPT. 9.—The Three per Cents,

The Paris journals of Tuesday announce the death
on the previous evening of Marshal OUDINOT, Duke of
Reggio, at the age of 81. The Marshal, who was one
of NAPOLEON'S most celebrated generals, was, at the
time of his death, Governor of the Invalides.
The Journal des Dads, maddened by the observa-
tions of the Opposition press on its recent articles on
Italy, pours forth a column and a half of the most
virulent abuse of the Italian Liber.l3, minglpd with
some schoolmaster-like lectures to the Austrian and
Italian Princes. In this article an endeavour is art-
fully made to sow dissensions among the Liberal

party in Italy; and to attain this end the system of
" enormous lying," which is the foundation of the
juste milieu policy of M. GUIZOT, is brought into
requisition. The weapon, however, is not used with
M. GUIZOT'S wonted skill. It is amusing to find M
GUIZOT in this article expressing his horror at the
occurrence of the insurrection at Messina, as " reveal-
ing the existence of a party that desires to shed blood."
M. Guizox had not this horror of bloodshed in 1830.
Had there not been at that period in France a party
" that desired to shed blood !" and had not M.
GUIZOT and Louis PHILIPPE been at that time of that
party, the first would never have been Minister, the
last would never have been KING. In a journal pro-
fessing Legitimatist principles this horror of "a party
wile desires to shed blood" would be consistent. In
the organ of a dynasty and a Government founded
upon a revolution brought about after three days hard
fighting in the streets, this profession of a horror of
bloodshed is gross hypocrisy. M. GuizoT, however,
is so annoyed at the consequences of his crooked
policy that some allowance must be made for him.
" For the Opposition journals," he patheticLlly ex-
claims, in this very article, " Italy is only a field
which must be turned to account to excite ember-
rasments for our Government." And it is evident
that the Government is as embarrassed as the most
virulent Oppositi,nist could desire it to be.
A courier arrived on Monday with letters from
General NARVAEZ, and a Council of Ministers was
immediately held at St. Cloud, at which the KING
presided.

CHRISTINA and her husband were at the Palace
while the Council was in deliberation, and had a
long audience of LOUIS PHILIPPE after it: broke up.
The determination of the Turkish Government to
withdraw the: exeguatur from the Greek Consuls
throughout the Ottoman empire is a fresh source of
annoyance to M. GUIZOT. The'National says--
"This is going quick to work, andlafter`s debizt of
this nature an amicable arrangement can scarcely be
hoped for. It is necessary either that M. Colletti
shall yield and retire, or that he shall accept the re-
sponsibility of a state of things with which war is
inevitable. At this moment the unfortunate Minister
must have his eyes turned towards France, whose
protection has caused him so many mortifications.
Austria, whom he had chosen as arbitrator, has united
with England, Russia, and the other Powers in approv-
ing of the conduct of the Sultan.`M.:Bourqueney alone
has protested at Constantinople. There, therefore,
remains to the King of Greece no other resource than
M. Guizot. Sad position and sorrowful hope ! Otho
may ask his neighbour the Pacha of Egypt, what that
support is worth, and what value he ought to esteem
the promises which he has received. M. Piscatory,
who has driven Greece into this difficulty—who has
pledged himself in word and honour to support Co-
letti, is, it is said, on his way home, to see M. Guizot,

M. DURAND, the gerant of the Gazette de France,
who, on the day the Denweratie Pacyz—que was ac-
quitted, had been condemned by default to imprison-
ment for one year and a fine of 3,000 francs, for
having on the 21st of August published an article on
the murder of the Duchess DE PRASLIN, appeared
on Monday before the Court of Assize of Paris to
purge his contempt, and to answer the charge of the
Attorney-General of having excited hatred and con-
tempt again.t the Government. The jury returned
a verdict of guilty, and the proprietor of the Gazette
de France was sentenced to three tenths' imprison-
ment, and to pay a fine of 2,000 f. (801. British.)
In commenting on this prosecution, the Commerce
observes—

" The Advocate-General, in- developing his requi-
sitory, did not tail to observe that the Gazette de
France was a Legitimatist journal—that is to say, that
it clung to the old order of things; and nevertheless,
he said, that journal advocated very liberalgrin-
ciples. The Advocate-General from this drew
the conclusion that the liberalism of the
Gazette is only pretended, and that it
ierve.s as a mask to the efforts by which
it f Wishes
which towards
to
political a
liberty regime,
was th en
oitn
preciselydul gen ce
its principal defect. This argument appeared to sue-
ceed with the jury, and to the effect which it pro-

duced may be attributed the sentence pronounced.
We think that there has here been a surprise in this.
It is time to admit the truth. There is at the pre-
sent moment but one opinion felt by the Legitirhatist
party, and that opinion is, that it reconciles itself to
all the conquests of the present order of things, and
to all the hopes of the future. We do not hesitate to
declare that this fact of the conversion of a party
merits great consideration. It is necessary that it
should be known that the old divisions no longer
exist; that France is henceforth unanimous. Only
the problems to be solved are more profound. The
great question amongst us is the full establishment of
social order, which is threatened by certain off offal
excesses, and other excesses which are the natural re-
action of them. In this state, it is useless, it is un-
just to be severe on account of enmities of which we
have scarcely the remembrance. It may suit the
public prosecutor to recal to mind' on every occasion
the history of our former struggles ; the country
ought to he raore magnanimous, more politic, more
enlightened; every one ought to be) udged according to
the activity which he displays in the work of general
amelioration."
The Courrier Francais having lately contained the
following paragraph :—" It appears that a number of
shares have bean reserved by MM. TALABOT for the
bureaux of tte War Department. It is at least
averred that General MOLINE DE ST. YON is inscribed
on the registers for 100 definitive shares, &c. ;" the
General has addressed a letter to the above journal,
giving the moat formal denial to the assertion. " I
here declare," says the General, " that I have not
the honour of knowing MM. TALABOT ; that I have
never found it necessary to have any intercourse
with them, and that I have neither a share, nor a
promise of a snare, not only in any railroad, but in
any industrial enterprise whatever."
It would appear that the accounts of the successes
of ABD•EL-KADER have been much exaggerated.
He has not taken hostile possession of Taza. The
Echo, of Oran, gives the following account of the
position and prospects of the Emir :
"Ever since the Emir has taken refuge in Mo-
rocco he has established himself on a mountainous
zone peopled by Kabyle tribes, who have been in-
dependent for centuries. His position as a retreat is
a good one, but his means of acting beyond it cannot
be considerable, from the very constitution of the
populations or which he has known to force himself.
The interior of the empire, on the contrary, is peo-
pled by a ramerous inahren, whose existence is
connected with that of the Cherifs. The Kabvles
would not advmture themselves there after the Emir,
and even if ttey consented to follow him, he himself
would not darn, with his small army, to march with
banners floating against the chief of the religion.
There is in what passes, and beyond what our eyes
can distinguish, more of reciprocal circumspection
than is imagined between the two leaders in this
struggle, one of whom is seated on a throne which
is splendid in the eyes of Islamism, and the other of
whom is under the necessity of not quitting the
character of defender of the faith. Thus it is that
we saw the latter, after having seized the camp of
the Caid El-Amar, endeavour to excuse himself for
the victory by pleading the necessity of his own
defence. Th 9 corpse of the Caid was not yet cold
when he protested his respect for the sacred autho-
rity of the Emperor. Such are the two situations ;
the may be prolonged in these conditions of equili-
brium, but nay one may calculate the effect which a
Christian infuence would produce thereon."
The remains of Louts BUONAPARTE, ex-King of
Holland, wht died some months since at Florence,
are to be deposited at Reuil, beside the tomb of
Queen HORTENBE.
The infant on of the Duke and Duchess D'AUMALE
was christenec on Monday, at St. Cloud. The Duke
DR NEMOURS acted for the Duke of SALERNO as
sponsor.
The Univere gives the following as the result of the
harvest in France :

"In Brittany and Normandy the harvest was ex-
cellent, and considerable quantities of new wheat
' have already appeared in the markets. In Upper
Normandy wheat sells for 18f. per hectolitre, and in
Lower Normandy for 22f. This difference is owing
to the grain not being sufficiently dry to be sent to
market. The northern markets are also stocked with
new wheat. The last market at Lille presented
double the quantity brought thither in August. An
important reduction in the price has taken place
throughout Picardy. It amounted to 7f. or Bf. per
hectolitre at Arras ; 6f. to 7f. at Amiens ; Bf. to 10f.

at Beauvais ; 7f. to Bf. at Montdidier ; 3f. to 4f. al
St. Quentin; sf. to 6f. at Pont St. Maxence, and 8f

at Clermont. In the Beauce the fall was not
so marked. It, however, averaged 6f. at Char-
tres and in the neighbouring towns. Large
quanti.ios of wheat and flour arrived at HavrA frnm
the United States at the close of August, and a fall
likewise ensued. In Alsace and Lorraine, at Metz,
Nantes, and Strasburg, the markets are abundantly
supplied with new corn. In the Meurthe sad Mo-
selle the same abundance prevails ; and wheat sells,
on an average, for 17f. per hectolitre. At Nantes,
Tours, and Angers prices continued to decrease in
consequence of the numerous offers of new wheat. In
the country round Orleans, Bourges, Clermont, and
Le Puy, the harvest was most productive, and a con-
siderable diminution in the rates must shortly mani-
fest itself. The same may be said of Lyons, Dijon,
and Besancon. At Lyons the hectolitre of wheat
sells for 20 francs, and, farther south, at Toulouse,
for 17 francs.

SlR,—Some time since you reported in your valu-
able journal an occurrence on the Great Western
Railway, whereby the worthy Bishop of Exeter was
exposed to inconvenience and seine danger from the
impossibility that at present exists of the passengers
communicating. with the guards, or the guards with
the engine-driver. I was also once subjected to
serious inconvenience from a circumstance that oc-
curred when I was travelling from Liveroool
with my friend, the late Frederick Yates. A
lady who was in the same compartment of
the carriage with us suddenly became fran-
tically mad, and in that fearful state we were
obliged to travel upwards of twenty miles until the
train arrived at the next station. I fancied my voice
was not that of a babby, but I could make no im-
pression upon the auricular organs of the officials ;
and whatever may now occur in any of the car-
riages must remain unperceived by the guards
until the arrival at the stopping place. Now I do
not pretend to any engineering skill or experience in
railway matters, although I was once nearly terrified
out of my propriety in what my friends the engi-
neers called "a little run" on a locomotive, but
which I fancied was a very touch-and-go kind of bu-
siness which Ido not intend to try again. However,
I fancy there exists a simple means of making the
guards, hear that the passengers want their attention ;
and I would suggest that in each compartment of
every carriage there should be suspended a powerful
Porteous whistle, such as I frequently. hear used at
Apsley House to give notice for opening the gates,
when F. M. the Duke of Wellington and I happen
to be going homewards at the same time (not
together).
The quality of sound possessed by these whistles
is excessively acute, and grates terribly on my musical
ear, but I am told that that they can be heard at a
great distance, and above any rumbling of a train ;
so I think that they might be very advantageously
employed for remedying the inconvenience on the
subject of which I have ventured to address you. If
you will insert my note, which has attained a greater
length than I
intended,l am, Sir, your obedient sLeßrvant,
PAEDFORD.

Tun RIVER TIIAME3.-1 morning was one of
the lowest tides ever known, even in the memory of
the oldest steam-boat captain. In the very centre of
the river, close to Waterloo-bridge, the mud was
some feet above the water, and at one o'clock the
river steamers were compelled to cease plying for the
first time since their introduction on the river. The
scene at the Adelphi Pier was graphic in the extreme,
almost worthy the pencil of a Hogarth. Beyond the
usual floating pier for landing passengers, a plank
about ten feet long was rigged, and secured by an
upright, over which ladies and all were compelled to
climb by the presiding Charon.
CIIILD CARRIED OFF BY .4N EAGLE.-A little boy,

The meeting of Bank of England proprietors this
morning has been of au interesting character, and a
dividend of 4f per cent. has been declared. The state-
ments made at the meeting show the affairs of the cor-
poration to be in a prosperous and perfectly sound
condition, and with the prospect of the resources
of the establishment being steadily strengthened.
Some remarks were made upon the subject of the many
failures of late years of members of the Board, and it
seems probable that upon a future occasion the matter
will excite further attention.
There are no further arrivals to-day with later news,
and we have nothing of special interest in refer-
ence to the Money Market, in which there is
a temporary lull. We understand that the great ca-
pitalists of the City are resolved to support each other
in the present crisis, and this alone, if the statement be
correct, should inspire confidence.
The accounts from Trieste still advert to the decline
in grain, and some accumulation of supplies.
The tone of the English Funds has been better this
morning, and there have been some money purchases,
though not much has been done for account. Consols
are 86i I for present transfer, and 861 for time. East
India Stock has been at 235. Exchequer-bills are 2E.
to Gs. premium. Bank Stock for account is at 196 i.
The Foreign Securities are very dull. Spanish Five
per Cents. have been 201, and Portuguese Four per
Ct-nts. 24f. Mexican Bonds are 19i 1. Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents. are 54i to 54t.
Railway Shares are flat still, with some few excep-
tions, but prices aro nevertheless rather higher than
yesterday.
