THE SUN, LONDON, SATITRDAY,SEPTEMI37ER .21, 1841.,

r for Chichester, had been rather too severe on the musket sup-
plied to the army. He thought that musket had been univer-
sally approved of.
Lord PALMERSTON knew that no subject had more en-
grossed the attention of his Noble Friend, the late Master-
General of the Ordnance, than the improvement us the quality
of the musket supplied to the British army. He was perfectly
aware that the one hitherto usually supplied was a most ineffi-
cient one, and not such as ought to be put into the hands of
British troops ; and he had devoted a great deal of time and
attention to experiments instituted for the purpose of perfect-
ing it. It would be in the recollection of those Hon. Mem-
bers, who had been Members of the last Parliament, that he
had proposed a vote for-the special supply of these more effi-
cient muskets to the army ; and he (Lord Palmerston) knew
that it was a source of great regret to his Noble Friend, that
circumstances had not enabled him to supply these improved
muskets to a greater extent.
Lord A. LENNOX regretted that all the regiments had not
been supplied with improved muskets. He had applied for
them for his own regiment, and had been unable to obtain
them although his regiment was stationed in Canada, near the
American frontier.
The vote was then agreed to.
On the vote of 5901. being proposed to defray additional mi-
litary stiperannuations,
Mr. WAKLEY asked if the Right Hon. Baronet could
give the Hume any information relating to Mr. Warner's dis-
covery, to which the attention of the House had been called
during the last sessicn of Parliament ?
Sir R. PEEL said tha-, certainly he had. witnessed Mr.
Warner's experiments with his newly-invented explosive ma-
terials; but feeling, as a civilian, that he was incompetent to
form a judgment on the subject, he had, when applied
to by Mr. \Varner, requested that gentleman to com-
municate with the Boards of Admiralty and Ordnance,
as he felt convinced that in all cases of the sort, it was much
better that communications should be made to those responsible
departments of the Government which were more immediately
couversant with such subjects, and that all investigatirns
should be conducted by them.
Mr. WAKLEY said Mr. Warner complained with justice
of his case being referred to a Committee. He hoped the
Right Hon. Baronet would consider the subject.
Colonel FOX thought Mr. Warner had no right to com-
plain. If he wished, the matter would be referred to a Com-
mittee.
Mr. C. WOOD concurred in the sentiments cf his Gallant
Friend, arid conceived Mr. Warner had no right to complain.
Mr. WAKLEY did not know Mr. Warner, but he con-
sidered he was right in refusing to submit his invention to a
Committee.
Captain PLUMRIDGE thought that as Mr. Warner re-
fused a Committee, he had no right to complain.
The vote was then agreed to.
The Chairman reported progress, and the House resumed.
The Lunatic Bill was read a third time and passed.
The Poor-law Commission Bill was adjourned to Monday
next.
Captain PECHELL inquired if it would come on at an
early hour ?
Sir J. GRAHAM said they would first go into a Com-
mittee of Ways and Means.
The House then adjourned at Twelve o'Clock.

EX PRESS FROM PARIS

The Paris Journals of Thursday contain no political
news, and are taken up with topics of purely local im-
portance.

The capital continues perfectly quiet; the emeuks hav-
ing totally disappeared.
The census was said to be the occasion of a slight agi-
tation in some towns of the south, but nothing serious
has occurred, and the precautions taken by the autho-
rities permit a hope that any attempt at disturbance
will easily be put down.
The Spanish Government had received intelligence
of an inroad into Spain, near Badajos, of a band of
united Carlists and Miguelists, and had ordered the
troops on the side of Portugal to be in force. It
does not appear that the attempt was very serious ; and
it is supposed the reports to have been exaggerated, in
orderd to afford Espartero a pretext fur augmenting his
fiirces on the Portuguese frontier.
The vintage in Spain is this year most abundant ; in-
decd too much, as last year's stock is still on hand.
The Infant Don Francisco had not yet entered Spain ;
some reports say that the Regency has some motives for
(Hay in his return.

...11adrid Bourse-252 for cash.
The name of the agent de Change who failed yester-
day is Joubert. His deficiencies will be very considerable:
The loss in the Parquet is 551- per. cent. ; the extent of

MONEY and CO3l %lERCIAL NEWS.
Most parties displayed no littCleuraliiritYmtAo-YdaEy,EtNolaNscc'er-
tain how the tenders for the conversion of Exchequer Bills
into Three per Cent. Stock were proceeding, this being the
first of the three appointed for that purpov. It was said that
they were likely to be all completed by to-morrow ; and as the
Hebrews transact no business on a Saturday, and would per.
haps not choose to run the risk of being shut out altogether,
by holding back till Monday, this view of the case may not be
altogether inaccurate. As far as the Funds were concerned,
they felt the effect of the Treasury scheme, being very tint,
while money was Unusually dear. Consols for Money were 891,4
to 89%, and for Account 891/2 to 89%. Exchequer Bills were
17s. to lbs. premium, and India Bonds 3s. premium to par.
The New Three-and.a-llalf per Cents. were 95% to 98%.
Our remarks on the Foreign Market must necesserily be very
limited, as the business doing itself is. Spanish Actives were
at 216 for Money, and 21a to for Account. Colombian Old
Bonds were at 20i, Danish at 801, and Dutch Five per Cents.
102 to A. . _

Stiar.js were again feeble. Groat Western Fifths were 31,
Birmingham 64 to 65, and the New 204 preen ; -the Brighton
51, the Croydon 1/2, the Midland Counties 243/4, the North
Midland 341/2, the Bristol and Exeter 33, and the Birmingham
and Gloucester 44 discount. London Joint• stock Bank Shares
were 2, and Provincial Bank of Ireland 161/2 premium. Na-
tional Provincial Bank of England Shares 1 discount.
This afternoon there were symptoms of a rally in the Foreign
Exchanges, which were most currently negotiated thus :
Paris 251 624 c. to 671ic., Amsterdam 12 4, Antwerp 12 31 to

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.
On Thursday a Court was held for the dispatch of a great deal
of public business. The Court was numerously attended by
Aldermen as well as Common Councilmen, in consequence of
the intention to present the freedom of the City to Admiral Sir
Robert Stopford and Sir Charles Napier, agreeably to the
resolution cf the Court, for their important services in Syria.

THE CORN-LAWS.

Mr. STACY gave notice of a motion," That an Address be
presented to her Nlajesty not to prorogue Parliament until the
subject relative to the present Import duties, and especially
those relating to corn, shall have received consideration."—
( Loud cries of " Oh, oh !" and " Hear, hear.")
PRESENTATION OF THE FREEDOM OF THE CITY TO AD-
MIRAL SIR R. STOPFORD AND COMMODORE SIR CHARLES
NAPIER.

Sir J. SHAW, the Chamberlain of the City of London,
having sworn in the two Gallant Officers, then addressed Ad-
miral Sir Robert Stopford in the following words :
" Sir Robert Stopford—After a life spent in the service of
your country, in various parts of the world during the late war,
you were selected at a critical moment of our affairs in the East,
to the command in the Mediterranean. Diplomacy having failed,
in a space of time almost incredible the whole coast of Syria
was in your possession. Acre, the scene of the glories of our
lion-hearted Richard, and the not less chivalric and undaunted
Sir Sidney Smith, will now have a third hero to grace the as-
sociation in the name of Stopford. For these services Sir
Robert you have again received the thanks of both Houses of
Parliament, and the thanks, with the freedom, of the city of
London.—(Loud cheers. )
Sir R. STOPPORD addressed the Court as follows:—" My
Lord and Gentlemen—l receive eith great gratification and
pride the high honour of becoming a freeman of the first city
of the first country in the world, for services rendered to that
country. I was placed in a situation of much doubt and diffi-
culty in commencing the operations upon the coast of Syria,
but the unabating vigour and skill of the officers and men
under my command, Loth by sea and land, soon removed all
doubts and apprehensions.—( Cheers.) That the peace of
Europe has been maintained through the means of our success,
appears to be an undoubted fact, and one which casts mere
than usual interest upon the events which have been so honour-
ably acknowledged by those whom I may have now the honour
of calling my brother citizens of the city of London."
SirJ. SHAW addressed Commodore Napier in the following
words :—" Sir Charles Napier—The character of Captain
Napier, as a brave energetic officer, evinced on a variety at
occasions in different parts of the world, gave assurance to the
people of England of the wisdom of his appointment to a b road
pennant in the Mediterranean, as second in command under
the gallant veteran Sir Robert Stopford. The brilliant success
of the British navy in reducing the whole coast and strong-
holds of Syria, with almost miraculons rapidity, u ill rank in
history among our most splendid achievements. In all these
operations the name of Napier stood prominent. The storming
and capture of Sidon, briskly followed up by the attack and
defeat of a numerous Egyptian army by a handful of seamen
and marines and Turkish soldiers, directed by the bold spirit
of Commodore Napier in person, are exploits in themselves
which will long be remembered by his countrymen with admi-
ration. For these services, Sir Charles, you have received the
thanks of both !louses of Parliament, and the thanks, with the
freedom, of the city of London ; and you will permit me to
wish you health and length of days to enjoy the honours you
have so nobly won.
Sir C. NAPIER—My Lord and Gentlemen, I beg leave to
return you my most cordial thanks for the high honour you
have done me in presenting me with the freedom of this great
city, and to assure you, that if ever again I should be employed
in the service of my country, I shall use every exertion to de-
serve the acknowledgments which I have received. In per..
forming the duties allotted to me, it happened that I was placed
in an unusual command, considering the services in which I
have been engaged ; but I believe that we did our duty to the
satisfaction of the country and of the allies : and I beg, once
more, that you will, my Lord and Gentlemen, accept of my
most heartfelt thanks.—( Loud cheers. )
The two gallant officers then took possession of the boxes
in which their freedoms were contained, and, bowing to
the Court, retired amidst great applause. The boxes,
which are made of heart of oak, represented the fortress in
which such tremendous destruction was committed by the Bri.
fish guns.

The accounts from Paris of the 22d inst., state that there
had been more business transacted on the Bourse than for some
time past, and at a rase which is expected to continue. Consi-
derable anxiety prevailed in consequence of the failure of a
well known and respectable agent on 'Change, whose name
we refrain at present from mentioning. The amount of his
defalcations is said to be from 800,000 to 900,000 francs. Many
failures to a less amount are expected in consequence. The
Three per Cents., which I,,ft off yesterday at 79 20 for the
Account, began to-day at 79 35, and went up to 79 90, and
finally closed at 79 65. Should the rise continue, it is said the
loan will be contracted for at a much higher rare than was at
first expected.

There is not a single feature to notice in the Stock Exchange,
Consols being still quoted at 891 for Money, and 9&4 6 for
Account; 1-':xchequcT Bills 14 16 premium. Spanish Active
Stock, 241 ; Portuguese Fives, 301-, and the Threes. 181.8
Very little doing in Shares, anti the Market is still further
depressed. Great Western Fifths are 7i4 ; London and Brighton
; London and Birminghlm, 154 ; North Midland 0.

:Some of the City financiers are resting on their oars in ex-
pectation of the grand sheer•off on Monday in the Conver-
sion race, for some of them hang back to-day, in
hopes, perhaps, of getting money or Exchequer Bills
easier between this and the last heat. 'Fe-morrow• the He-
brews can of course make no tenders, and so, in point off act,
they have but to-day and Monday to do business.

NON-ATTENDANCE OF ALDERMEN AT THE CENTRAL CRIMI•

NAL COURT.
Mr. ANDERTON gave notice of a motion on the non-attend-
ance of Aldermen, proposing that it be referred to the Officers'
and Clerks' Committee to examine such complaint, and the re-
quisite temedy.

ROYAL EXCHANGE.
Mr. CorE, the Chairman of the Royal Exchange Commit-
tee, brought up the Report of the Committee on the subject of
the contract entered into for the rebuilding, by which it ap-
pears that of the fourteen builders who had been written to by
their direction for tenders for building the New Exchange, the
proposal of Air. Thomas Jackson, of Pimlico, at the sum of
115,900/., had been accepted ; and that they had further agreed
to accept a transfer of 16,666/. 13s. 4d. Three per Cent. Bank
Annuities, into the names of two trustees on the part of the
Corporation, and two on the part of the Mercers Company, as
security for the due execution of the said work.
he latter part of the Report referred to the due prepara-
tion of the necessary deeds of trust forithe execution of the con-
tract, and the requisite annexing of the seal of the Corporation
thereto ; together with a specification of the funds at the dis-
posal of the Committee, for the purposes of the trust, and sug-
gesting measures for raising any further mon.es that might be
required.

Thursday night a sort of rehearsal was given, in the presence of
a:number of individuals who were invited on the occasion. In
order to diversify the more scientific portion of the entertain-
ments, a concert was given, one of the chief attractions of
which was the " Infant Sappho. This surprising and highly
gifted child sung several pieces of music, of considerable diffi-
culty, with an ease and correctness of ear perfectly astonishing.
In the course of the evening her father, a clever pianist,
touched a variety of keys, to which the child, with almost mira-
culous aptitude, truly responded. She was loudly and justly
applauded.

who so greatly distinguished himself (luring, thelutevar by his
successes over the French, died .a,thort time since. •

SUGAR.-The demand has been good for yellow and
grey descriptions of British Plantation Sugar this week,
and full rates have been paid. The private purchases
for the three market days have amounted to 1,300
hogsheads and tierces. Berbice and Demerara
very inferior brown have been sold at 52s to
535, St. Vincent's mid soft yellow 575, superior grey 61s;

at 67s to 68s, good 64s to 65s Gd, mid to good mid 59s
Gd to 63s 6d, and low heavy 57s to 58s per cwt ; the
trade appear not disposed to take more Sugar than their
absolute wants require. The stock is 1,483 hhds and trcs
greater than lest year at this time. The arrivals have
been 4,172 hhds and trcs since this day week, and seve-
ral ships are near at hand. The Gazette price is 33s
61d, in 1840 it was 58s .51d, in 1839 40s 21d, and at the
same period in 1638 28s 10d per cwt. For public sale
on Tuesday 200 hhds Barbadoes are declared.
To-day prices were supported for West India Sugar,
but there was not much life in the market, the trade
being principally engaged at the public sales of Bengal
and Mauritius. Still a fair demand existed, but the pur-
chases were principally confined to the bright yellow sorts.
The total sales for the week are 1,950 hhds and tres.
REFINED.-There has been less demand for Refined

fair extent have been made, common at 40s to 435, mid-
dling 44s to 465, good to fine 47s to 52s per cwt.

large parcels have been disposed of at 29s 9d to 30s
for first quality, and there are not further sellers
under the latter rate. Loaves have been taken spar-
ingly ; 101 b at 33s to 33s 6d, and 14Th 32s to S2s 6d
per cwt. In Treacle a fair business has been transacted
at 13s 3d to 13s Gd. Bastards are heavy of sale at 12s
to 15s, and Pieces at 16s to 20s per cwt. In Dutch
Crushed Sugar no sales have been made, and prices re-
main as last quoted.
Matuterius.-Proprietors hew displayed firmness
this week, and have refrained from offering any at
public sale. The stock is 70,171 bags greater than last
year at this time. No arrival since our last report.
This afternoon the demand was good, and 5,817 bags
51 casks at public sale were all sold, bright yellow sorts
at Gd to Is advance, other kinds at full rates, very fine
fetched 69s Gd to 71s, fine 63s to 66s 6d, good 59s to 625,

This afternoon the trade operated to a fair extent in
white Bengal, and at public sale 4,087 bags were princi-
pally sold at full rates, but brown kinds went off slowly
at barely former rates; fine white fetched 69s to 72s 6d,
good 67s to 68s 6d, middling and good middling 64s to
6Gs, low 6ls t.) 635, ordinary to fine yellow 50s to 60s,
Brown 36s to 47S per cwt.
OREIGN.-White sorts of Brazil have attracted more
attention this week, and a good demand has existed.
For brown and yellow sorts there are few buyers at pre-
sent ; at auction 211 cases 42 boxes 38 brls Brazil have
been offered, and all sold at the sale, and after, viz. Bahia
low to mid white at 20s to 235, low yellow 17s, good to

of at 23s ; St. Vincent's, middling 24s per cwt ; the
stock, however, is still large of Foreign, some parcels
have been sold at 6s 9d to 7s per cwt. This afternoon
several parcels of West India were sold privately at full
rates, but at public sale 289 casks Bengal Syrup were
taken in at 25s per cwt.
Roar, BRANDY, AND HOLLAND& -The principal fea-
ture in the Rum market this week has been the large
Government contract of 100,000 gallons, half East and
half West India Rum, and which has been all taken at
the low rate of is Vid per gallon, proof strength ; the
price is 3d under the market, but higher . than the last
contract, which was taken at Is 6d 15.16 th, but at that time
proof Leewards were selling at 2s, and proof East India at Is
4d. The market for Rum has been in a dull state all the
week, both shippers and the home trade operating with
much caution, and prices have declined id per gallon;
the sales of ast India have been only 150 hhds at is 6d
proof ; of West India not 100 puns have been sold,
and proof Leevvards may be purchased at 2s per gallon,
indeed it is difficult to quote prices. The arrivals of
Rum have been 873 puns, &c. this week. Prices have
been firm for Brandy this week, and a better desire
has been manifested to operate ; the accounts from France
continuing unfavourable for the crop, and purchases to
a fair extent have been made principally for home use upon
the following terms-Cognac Ist brands vintage of 1836,
hhds at 5s 9d, puns 5s 7d, 1837, hhds 5s 6d, puns 5s 4d;
1538, hhds 5s 4d, puns 5s 2d ; 1839, hhds 4s I Id, puns
4s 9d ; 1840, hhds 3s 10d, puns 3s 8d per gallon. In
Geneva purchases to a fair extent have been made at
2s id to 2s 2d for common, and the home trade have
paid 2s 7d to 2s Od for small parcels of fine.
British Corn Spirits have been in good request at 10s 4(1
cash, at which rate the distillers are firm ; prices ruling
high for Barley.
TEA.-There has been less demand for Free Trade
Tea this week, and the market has been in a quiet state.
The announcement of 18,000 packages for sale on Thurs-
day and Friday next with the prospect of the quantity
being increased to 25,000 packages have caused

ADELAIDE GALLERY.-LECTURE

ON MNEMONICS.

Last evening we attended a lecture upon the art of Artifi-
cial Memory by Major Beniowski, and we are bound to say that
practical and instantaneous proofs of the efficacy of his sys-
tern were presented, which went far to remove the
seeptiei m which experience of other systems of .-nnemo-
mical contrivance had confirmed in our mind. We had
strew!), stated, that in a previous lecture the Learned and
Gallant Pole had convinced us that he himself possessed a
memory wonderfully retentive, and a vast extent of knowledge
in m.ny departments of physical, moral, atd mathematical
science. But we had also expressed our doubt that it was in
his power to communicate an expertness in the memorial pro-
cess to others. He took occasion to refer to that objection,
and undertook to remove it by at once enabling the
members of his present audience to apply his principles in a
series of mnemenical experiments, by the aid only of the
alphabet of hi: system. It would be impossible, without the
help of diagrams, and a more detailed description than our
spice would allow, to give any adequate idea of the mechani-
cal process. Chronological, mathematical, and moral pro-
positions were stated in varied order, end when the auditors (or,
we ought rather say, the delighted pupils) were examined
afterwards it was found, without a single exception, that they
had so far acquired a nett, memory. analogous, if not equal to
that., by which the Lecturer himself of the table of logarithms
and die 5,000 dates in the chronology of the Encyclopedia.
He went out of his yrs), to vindicate the reputation of Voss
Feitiagle from our charge, that his efforts had failed, and that
his system was useless. But the simplicity of 13eniows'ai's
plan, and the indubitable proofs with which he
furnished us of its efficacy, did more to confirm, 'us in our
contempt of the Feinaglian mnemonics than all our past dis-
appointment in a laborious arid fruitless appl'cation of them.
We derived inure advantage from an hour's attendance at Be-
nioo ski's lecture last evening, in thc Adelaide Gallery, than
from many months of industrious study of Luxembourg phre-
notyries.

THEATRE ROYAL OLYMPIC.
This theatre was opened last night by a band of
amateur performers, who played °that° to a crowded
audience. The part of the Moor was undertaken by a
gentleman, whose appearance on the boards of the
Shaksperians we recollect to have seen under ver, fa-
vourable auspices. Ingo appeared to have fallen into
experienced hands, and Mr. Cowper evinced judg-
ment and self-possession to a degree that, joined to a
singularly expressive set of features, made hint
every inch a villain. Cassio, too, drew down well-
mei ited applause in the last scene with Desdemota,
there was a freshness and depth of feeling displayed
that was hardly expected from the maudlin drunkard of
the yrevious act ; altogether the play was well cast, the
ensemble much better than is usually seen in amateur
pert prmances. After the tragedy, Mr. INnisay, as Sylvester
Daggerwood, gave some very clever imitations of Popular
actors, and responded to an unceasing call from
the house for Power with a single sentence
that recalled our lost favourite with painful
vividity. This order from the gods would, under present
circumstances, have been more honoured in the breach
than the observance. The Bent Day concluded the pro-
gramme, in which.some very good acting was marred by
the voice of the prompter, by far the most prominent

THE MURDER IN F,ASTCHEAP.
Up to two o'clock this afternocs the police bad received no
intelligence as to the body ot Blesley having been picked up
off Cuckold's Point, the.:efore the rumour which was in cir-
culation to that effect last evening, is most probably without
foundation. Indeed, from a carefulconsideration of the evidence
given last evening before the Coroner, it would appear thst so
far from Blexley having contemplated suicide, he made his
arrargements with some ingenuity for the purpose of effect-
ing his escape. It appears that he took pains to ascertain
accu ately the period that would elapse while the watchman
and the police were going their rounds, and that he managed
to a nicety in obtaining the longest possible time to escape. It
appears also, that after committing the murder, he went to the
street-door and looked out, taking the knife with him,
evidently for the purpose of self-defence, and seeing the street
clear lie ran back and threw the knife into the bar, because had
he either taken it with him, or thrown it away in his flight, it
might have led to his identification, or have afforded a clue to
the road he had taken ; besides had he contemplated suicide he
might easily have carried his intentions into effect with the
same weapon with which he had immolated his victims.
We therefore think it exceedingly probable that Blexley is still
alive, and that these rumours have have been put into circu-
lation by his friends for the purpose of facilitating his escape by
throwing the police off their guard, and rendering theta less
