QUARTER TO THREE.

Not the least signs of business.

"It is stated in well-informed quarters to-day that
Messrs. Cockburn and Co, will ultimately pay their debts
in full. They owe about 250,400/., and have 80,0001.
due to them in Sydney alone, where; however, from the
recent heavy failures, we fear they will not realize any-
thing like the full amount."

By some inadvertence on the part of our
City Correspondent, the name of a highly
respectable house in the City was printed
in our Morning Edition in the above paragraph,
instead of that of Cockburn and Co. 'We are
happy, however, that no damage can ensue from
the mistake, as the circumstances men-
tioned in the context so clearly point out the
house of Messrs. Cockburn and Co., whose
affairs have lately been before the public. For our
own part, we regret exceedingly the error—and
our only consolation is that the high standing of
the other firm referred to carries its own refu-
tation on the face of the paragraph, coupled with
the circumstances already known.--ED. Sun.

EXCHEQUER COURT (THIS DAY.)

THE QUYEN V. HAMILTON.

The ATTORNEY-GENIIRAL said this was an information
filed against the defendant, for carrying more passengers in
his coach between London and Hampstead, than he was duly
licensed to do. There could be no doubt of the fact, and
it was necessary for the officers of the revenue to take
such steps as would prevent such frauds, not only upon the
Government, but upon the fair trader. However, in the pre-
sent case; there was every reason to believe that the defendant
Oat net aware of the practices of his servants, who Were, in
fact, the guilty parties ; they therefore did not wish to press
severely upon the defendant, and had agreed to take a verdict
for the Crown for 751
THESIGER appeared for the defendant, and consented
to the verdict for 75/. passing against him. There was no
doubt but the servants of the defendant had transgressed the
law, but it was not only in fraud of the revenue, but of the
defendant also ; however, he was liable to a penalty, but he
complained that the proceedings were brought in the Superior
Court. Had the offence been complained of before a police
Magistrate, the same explanation would have been made, and
great expense saved.
his LORDSHIP directed the Jury to find a verdict for the
Crown for 751., as had been agreed upon by the Learned
Counsel. such informations were very properly filed by the
officers of the Crown, as it was necessary not only to protect
the revenue, but the fair tracer.
Verdict for the Crown 751.

THE WAR IN FRENCH AFRICA.
The French Government has received an offie:p.l report from
General Bugeaud, dated Mostaganem, sth inst., upon the
events of the recent campaign in Algeria, of which the follow-
ing is the subs:ance

This despatch, after recapitulating the first operations as corn-
menicated by telegraph, and stating, that on entering Teke-
dempt some of the houses covered with thatch, which 'had
been set fire. to by the Arabs, were still burning. but that
those with tilr-d roofs, as also the factory for arms, some store-
houses; &c., were still intact, informs us, that as the Com-
mander-in-Chief suptosed the Arabs would not fail, on the
withdrawal of the French troops, to visit the ruins of the
citadel, which the French had blown up, and which Abd-el-
Kader had made his principal depot for arms and ammu-
nition, he placed the Zocaves and a bittalion of the 41st
of the line bchiod the ruins, to await their approach. As soon
as the column had begun to move, about seven or eight hun-
dred horsemen entered the streets, and the battalion sallying
out, and firing upon them, fifteen horsemen arid several horses
were killed. The despatch goes on to report the subsequent
movements up to the possession of Mascara, but adds nothing
to what we had already received. At Ma cara, says the de-
srach, it would be possible in a short time, with proper labour
to provide accommodation for 6,000 or 7,000 men, and the
establishment of such a force there would be useful, the only
difficulty would be in supplying them with provisions. Itnrae- '
diate preparations were made for forming a garrison at Mas-
cars, and two lialfebatteries of reserve and field artillery were put
up, and a sufficient number of gunners left to man them. The
route taken by the army, on its return to Mostaga-
nem, is described as the worst in Africa ; and, as
a proof of this, it is stated that the rear guard,
being attacked by 5,000 or 6,000 Arabs, it was iminssi-
ble to give any support to it on account of the narrowness of
the pass. The rear-guard, however, commanded by General
Levasseur, and composed of two battalions of the 6th and 13th
light infantry, and a battalion of the 41st of the line, with
some field artillery, bore the contest alone with great courage
and effect. In this affair, which cost the enemy the loss of
400 men, 7 chiefs, and a great number of horses, the French
had only 10 men killed, and one officer, Sub-Lieutenant Ra-
chau, of the 6th light infantry, and 54 wounded. All the dead
and wounded were removed, so that not a man remained in the
hands of the Arabs. The total loss of the French in this cam-
paign, up to their return to Mostaganem, was 20 killed and 85
wounded. In an, affair on the way to Tekedempt, the French
made seven prisoners. The, despatch adds that the general
health.of the troops was good, and that the total number of sick
in the field. hospitals was 203, int:lading 5 officers. The cavalry
found abundant forage in the standing crops of wheat and
barley. General Bugeaud, who announces that he was ac-
tively preparing to renew the campaign on the 7th or Bth, and,
after praising the conduct of the different corps composing the
expedition, mentions numerous officers as having distinguished
themselves by their courage and zeal on different occasions.
Among them we find the • names of Lieutenant-Colonel Ca-
vaignac of the Zouaves, General Boyer, Aide-de-Camp of the
Duke de Nemours, Lieutenant-Colonels Despinoy and Renaud,
Chef-de. I3ataillon Walsin Esterhazy, Gen. Larnorieiere. Colo-
nels Roguet, Tampour, Lafeille, and Random The General also
notices with honour Drs. Baudens, Sai;,,,et, and Viel, and also in
a particular manner the Abbe Stalter (sent by the Bishop of
Algeria to accompany the army as chaplain). The Governor-
Gen. adds, " The Duke de Nemours has been all that a Prince
of illustrious race ought to be—to the army an example, and
stimulant to all. Gen. Lamoriciere rendered the greatest ser-
vices in making the preparations for war,
.proving that the im
portant details of organisation and administration may be com-
bined with ardour and courage, which he displayed on every
occasion. General Mustapha Ben Ismael executed a b ii-
liant charge on June Ist, in driving the Arabs from the defile
into which we were entering, and well supported by El-
Mezary, Cadour Ben Moafy, and Mohammed Ben Cadour,
eeusine many of the enemy's regular cavalry to bite the
dust. °Colonel Delarue did not leave me for a single mo-
ment, e: ceps to join in any action in which the troops of his
friend Gene,-'1 Lamoriciere happened to be engaged. Mde

The Moniteur Parisien publishes a decree of the Governo:-
General, dated 30th ult., to the effect that all the inhabitants
of Mascara, and those within a radius of 24,000 metres fr-rn
the town, who do not return to their residences there within
a month, are to lose all right to their several properties, which
are to be joined to the domains of the State. Another decree
orders 30 hectares of geound (75 acres) to be allotted per
regiment to all troops establishi:l in permanent camps.
The following Order of the Day was issued at Mostaganem,
on the sth inst. :•—•
"His Royal Highness the Duke de Nemours returns to
France, having, during two expeditions, partaken in the fa-
tigues and glory of our soldiers. The army had already
.been
taught to know the Prince at Constantine, and his new sojourn
in its ranks has only drawn closer the ties by which lie was
bound to it. His memory will live in the three provinces, for
be has fought with the three grand divisions of this army,
whose courage and constancy he has learnt to appreciate. The
army will also live in his heart. He will tell the King how
much it merits, and how much more it will deserve the esteem
of the couetry, which is the impetus of all its actions. Gene-
ral Lamoriciere resumes, under my orders, the general com-
mand of the expeditionary column.
"The Governor-General BUGEAUD."

Dr. Baudens, who accompanied the late expedition in
Africa, has returned to Paris, and yesterday had an audience
of the King.

SERIOUS TUMULT IN BARCE-

LONA.

• BARCELONA, JUNE B.—Yesterday Barcelona was thrown
into the greatest consternation; a panic seized all the inha-
bitants, in consequence of the assembling throughout the city
of large bands of labourers, who had left their workhouses to
proceed to the Custom-office, where a quantity of British
smuggled goods were to be sold by public auction, The Ad-
ministration had given notice of the sale through the papers,
and at four o'clock p.m. a body of about 4,000 workmen as-
sembled on the square of the Palace, and loudly demanded
that the goods should be burned, instead of being put up for
auction. The intendant, finding that the groups were assuming
an alarming aspect, and fearing, with reason, lest the work-
men should commit some excesses, ordered the gates of the
Custom-office to be closed, and the sale to be discontinued.
But this measure did not satisfy the crowd, who appointed a
deputation to wait on the Captain-General Van Halen, to de-
mand of him the delivery into their hands, or the destruction,
of the goods. His Excellency replied, that his power was ex-
clusively military, and bade them aptly to the civil authorities.
The mob, which had by that time considerably increased, then
proceeded in the direction of the square of the Constitution,
where the municipality was holding an extraordinary meeting,
and concerting measures with the Political Chief and the
Commander of the National Guard. The workmen sent a
new deputation to the Ayuntamiento, repeating their reqUest
to General Van Helen, and announcing their determination
not to retire Until it was acceded to. In this alternative the
municipality, after two hours' deliberation, anal with a view to
avoid greater disorders, resolved on purchasing the goods, and
committing them to the flames.
About haliwit eight o'clock, the Political Chief, accom-
panied by some idea es and-oli,-cers of the National Guard, re-
paired, amidst 7,000 or 8,000 worliCOen, to
.red of him thewhat square of the
Palace and having sent for the alcactesri

was the value of the goods, and directed him
.up to him. 'this functionsry at first refused to cb-ey injunc-
tion,, not wishing to throw open the gates of the customhouse
for fear the mob should plunder its contents; but, after mine
pourparlers, he coesentcd to give ep the goods, which were
burned at half-past eleven o'clock, in the square of the Con-
stitution, in front of the Municipality, which had been illumi-
nated on the occasion.
The workmen having obtained this satisfaction, then quietly
withdrew, but it is to be apprehended that they will exact
more, and perhaps assail the shops ;Ind stores in which a large
quantity of foreign merchandise is deposited.
The Captain-General displayed no military force, and showed
no sign of life ; fortunately no accident or misfortune occurred.
