THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 29, 1847.

operation of the extraordinary changes which had
been effected by his Government not only were a
multitude of pernicious and timorous restrictions
removed from foreign articles of manufacture
aid consumption, but the loyalty of the popu-
lation was confirmed, the dignity of the hereditary
legislators was heightened in the estimation of the
country, the power of public opinion was avowed
the liberty of the press was rendered more than ever
indestructible, because its advantage was more than
ever displayed, and, beyond all, thought, and action,
and commerce, received thereby a new emancipation
by the dispersion of many centuries of prejudice, by
the destruction of a system of fiscal bondage, and by
the facilitation of intercourse between all the races
of Christendom, and all the nations of the habit-
able globe. Those were, in effect, the arguments
enunciated yesterday by Sir ROBERT PEEL before
the independent electors of Tamworth. The inte-
grity of the ex-Prime Minister was fully compre-
hended by those electors ; they respected his convic-
tions, his principles, and his daring ; they knew that
in his submission to those convictions, in his further-
ance of those principles, and in his manifestation of
that daring he had evinced the purity of his inten-
tions by the magnitude of his sacrifices : they knew
that in obeying the dictates of his conscience he had
abdicated from a species of dictatorship, he had lost
the enthusiasm and the devotion of a great party, and
had exposed himself to calumnies and vituperations.
Remembering all these things, the constituents of
Tam worth returned Sir ROBERT PEEL with ac-
clamation and without opposition.
Matters are not, unfortunately, managed so com-
fortably elsewhere. While the Right Hon. Baronet ,
is quietly reinstalled as the representative of
Tamworth, an ugly trick is being performed upon
the hustings of Bolton. A word in the ear of the
Mayor of Bolton ! A word in your ear Mr. J.
SCOWCROFT ! You have branded yourself on your
forehead, and the brand can never be obliterated or
forgotten ; it was done in the face of the whole
land ; the people of England will henceforth esti-
mate your character as it deserves to be esti-
mated. What says Dr. BOWRING ? "I have seen,"
he says, " many dishonourable and disgraceful nomi-
nations, but none equal to this!" The circumstances
are simple enough. A forest of hands is held up for
Dr. BOWRING, a similar number for Mr. JoHN
BROOKS, and " a comparative few" (so says the re-
porter) for Mr. WILLIAM BOLLING. The reporter,
indeed, goes further, calculating the number of hands
held up in favour of Dr. BOWRING and Mr. BROOKS
as " not less than ten to one when compared with the
number held up for Mr. BOLLING." Yet, in defiance
of this, and amidst a storm of indignant
disapprobation, the Mayor proclaims Mr. BoLuno
and Mr. BROOKS to be the successful candidates, the
former gentleman being a Conservative. The dis-
grace of this transaction cannot speedily he erased
from the character of Mr. J. SCOWCROFT, the con-
scientious Mayor of Bolton.

The alleged case of revolt and piracy, for which an
entire ship's company were placed on their trial at
Exeter, on Monday last, possesses deep and peculiar
interest for every one anxious for the maintenance of
the commercial and mercantile welfare of Britain. It
was rightly described by the Learned Judge who
presided, and by the able and talented counsel who
conducted the prosecution, as a question of the greatest
national importance, and of the most vital consequence
to the existence of the maritime greatness of this
country. The issue that went to the jury was, prac-
tically, to what extent could a captain be, per-
mitted to bully and tyrannise over his crew, before
they would be authorised to venture upon a
resistance to his authority, and to dispossess
him of the power which he had abused.
We have had the advantage of a judicial exposition
of the law. The Learned Judge declared that, in
point of law, a revolt would be justified in one view,
and in one view only, viz., that if the conduct of the
captain had been such as to afford reasonable grounds
for concluding that, unless the men had imprisoned
him, they, or some one, or more of them, would have
been in danger of their lives, or of suffering some
grevious bodily harm, it would be a justification, but
that no degree of harshness or oppression, on his part,
no commands, however unjust or unreasonable, would
be sufficient to warrant the crew in taking the law
into their own hands, or in depriving the master of
that command of the vessel with which he had been
entrusted by her lawful owners.
We are bound to accept this interpretation
of the law. We believe it to be strictly
in accordance with previous decisions, and that
as liberal a view of the particular statute under which
the parties were indicted was taken as its stringent
provisions would admit. That statute contained no
exemption whatsoever, but declared " that if any
seaman should confine his captain, er make a revolt in
the ship, he should be deemed and adjudged a pirate,
and being convicted thereof should suffer death as a
felon ;" and, although in the recent changes of the
criminal code which the humanity of the age de-
manded, the extreme penalty of the law was remitted,
and transportation substituted for the punishment of
death, the law in all other respects remained in the
same condition as when it was originally enacted,
more than one hundred and fifty years ago. It is
also possible that no very great relaxation
could safely be made in the stringency
and severity of this law. It is mani
fest that the greatest dangers would be incurred, and
evils of the greatest magnitude rendered probable, if
seamen were encouraged to resist the authority of
their captain on trivial or insufficient grounds. It
such a course were tolerated, there would no longer
be any security for the lives of the mariners, or for
the safety of the property entrusted to their charge.
The destination of the ship might be changed, and
the underwriters exonerated from all responsibility,
on account of some petty dispute or trifling alter-
cation.

While, however, the sailors are bound by such
strict rules, they should be protected by the most
efficient and binding enactments against any abuse
of the extraordinary power conferred upon the
master. The present law is altogether one-
ided in its operation. There is no reciprocity
whatsoever. The seaman who, goaded by a continued
course of ill-treatment and annoyance, for a moment
forgets his position, and revolts against his tyrannical
oppressor, is banished for ever from his native land,
and doomed to toil as a slave for the remainder of his
existence, while the master is suffered with impunity
to utter the most frightful imprecations, to use the
foulest and most abusive language, and to teaze and
harass his crew in every possible manner; and, if
occasionally brought before a magistrate for some
gross and wanton outrage, he generally escapes
Pm
either without punishment, or, at the most, u
payment of some small fine. Shipowners, too,
ap-
pear perfectly indifferent to the character of the
man whom they select for the discharge
of such important duties, and there is no test
of character or qualifications which
~he is com-
pelled to undergo before he is invested with the au-
thority. A trifling knowledge of navigation is all
that is looked for or expected at his hands. If he can
work the ship's reckoning, calculate her position, and
navigate her from port to port, nothing more is
desired. A person is subjected to a heavy fine for
acting as master of a twopenny boat on the Thames
without a certificate of his competence, but he would
Le permitted to circumnavigate the globe, to take
charge of the lives of the crew and passengers, and
of the property contained in the vessel, without the
slightest proof of his fitness for the task. In
the present instance the master was tainted by previous
iil conduct, which should have prevented any persons
from
again placing him in so responsible a position.

had been imprisoned for six months for a serious

Hong-Kong,
m is
ong-Kong, where the magistrates held the them
from blame, and ordered their wages to
in d
be paid in
full. He had been so frequently engaged
with his different crews, that he could not say that
twenty complaints had not been preferred against
him, although, of course, he was perfectly blameless
on every occasion. He could not believe anything
against Captain JOHNSON, of the Tory,who would appear
to be an object of his ardent admiration, and his conduct
to the persons whom he has just brought to trial was
such, that the jury. without the slightest hzsitation,

and without hearing the several counsel for the
defence, stopped the case, and declared that the crew
were justified in what they had done, and that they
were in danger of their lives or of some grievous
bodily harm from his violence. It is not possible to
sympathise with the owners of the vessels for any loss
they may have sustained in consequence of employing
such a person. But we hope that the case may not
be suffered to rest here, but that it may attract the
notice of the Legislature.
An important inquiry has been carried on
during the past session into the effect and
operation of our navigation-taws, and whether
any and what changes therein are desirable.
This constitutes one of the most serious topics
to be submitted to the consideration of the
new Parliament. Whatever may be the result of
that investigation or the future legislation on the sub-
ject, it must be defective and insufficient unless the
grievance of incompetent and tyrannical captains is
remedied. This can only be done by requiring that
every person should be licensed by the Trinity House,
or some other competent board, before he is permitted
to take the command of a vessel, and such license
should only be granted after a strict examination as
to his qualifications as a seaman, and an investigation
into his previous character and conduct, and should
be revocable on any proof of subsequent impropriety.
By such a regulation, and also by punishing with the
utmost severity any misconduct of a captain at sea,
we can alone place our mercantile navy on a proper
footing, and render justice to the gallant men whose
services are so valuable to the country.

The Swiss Diet, on the 23d, considered the motion
of the Deputies of Geneva for striking out from the
rolls of the army of the Confederation the names of all
officers who shall continue to serve in the forces of
the Sonderbund. The motion, although strongly
opposed by the Deputies of the seven cantons forming
the Sonderbund, was carried by a majority of twelve
votes and two half votes, and the Diet was instructed
to draw up a list of such officers.

According to the German papers, negotiations
have been commenced for the purpose of securing
the succession to the Duchy of Brunswick to the
family of the reigning Duke WILLIAM.
40
Madrid papers of the 22d have arrived.

The Espanol contains an article, warning capi-
talists against the new loan, which it declares is
illegal, while the security offered is illusory. In
five out of the six electoral districts of Madrid Pro-
greesista candidates have been elected. The QUEEN, it
is said, is about to make an excursion to Segovia.
On the 21st the treaty for the recognition of the re-
public of Bolivia was signed by the Minister.

We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday.
The Comtitutionnel has an admirable article on the
affairs of Switzerland, and on the conduct of M.
GUIZOT in lending himself to a reactionary policy in
support of the Jesuits and the Serviles in that coun-
try, and thus not only repudiating, but stamping as
a crime the revolution of 1830. The following is
the article from the Constitutionnel ,t

" The struggle is becoming more and more desperate
in Switzerland between the Diet and the League. The
Diet pronounces the dissolution of the League, whilst
the League replies by a protest and a threat of civil
war. To this challenge the Diet responds in its turn by
a note which forbids the Federal officers to have any
intercourse with the Sonderbund, and threatens to
cashier such as should persist in accepting employment
in the troops of the separated cantons. This decision
is the forced consequence of the former one. After
having declared the alliance to be incompatible with
the compact, it was inevitable that the incompatibility
of the service in the army of the confederation, with that
in the insurgent troops should be formally announced.
It is the practical application of the purely theoretical
decision which was taken first. It is evident that this
struggle, which since the opening of the debates has
remained within a circle, in a certain measure abstract,
is tending to occupy the ground of facts and application;
it is more and more to be feared that to the war of inter-
pretations and speeches may succeed a real war—that in
which musket-shots will decide the differences. We do
not hesitate to declare, that if blood is to be shed in
S iizerland, that blood must be justly attributed to the
powers who encourage an illegal revolt against the estab-
lished government, and hold out a premium to civil
war in the hope of assistance corning from abroad—
thus casting into the scales, where are at present balanc-
ing the destinies of Switzerland, the weight of the sword
of a new holy alliance. It is truly impossible to com-
prehend how these same Powers which, in 1815, in their
declarations to Switzerland, laid down in the most pre-
cise and peremptory manner the principle of the neces-
sary submission of the minority of the states to the ma-
jority, should uow come forward and support a principle
.iiametrically opposite, by remanding, under the menace
of a coming intervention, that the majority should pass
under the Caudine forks of the minority—that the law
should bend before revolt ! It is easy to comprehend
that they will always be ready to sacrifice all their ideas
.4 justice and the truest principles to their cgoti,m and
reactionary policy, but that the Government of July
should make itself against Switzerland, in the name of
the treaties of 1815, the accomplice of the Powers which
have just destroyed Cracow in contempt of these same
treaties ; that it should support in the conledetation the
same Jesuits that it was forced to expel from France ;
that for such results it should not fear to repudiate at
the same time in a single act its revolutionary origin,
its interests, and its duties against an allied people, is
wl.at cannot but excite the utmost indignation and as
ronishment, if anything on the part of the Cabinet
could call forth such feelings."
Certainly the policy of the Court of France in sup-
porting this reactionary movement in Switzerland, is
very short-sighted. Is it to be imagined that if the
Austro-Jesuit reaction should be successful in Swit-
zerland, it will stop short at the Jura ? Has M.
GUIZOT forgotten the alliances recently contracted
between the Princes of the elder house of Bourbon
and those of Hapsburgb, and does be imagine that
for the sake of the beaux yeux of the Orleans branch,
Austria will sacrifice those principles of legitimacy
which are so dear to her ? It may be true that
Austria makes the most devoted professions of friend-
ship to the reigning dynasty of France, but she did
the same to NAPOLEON, and betrayed him. An in-
tervention by France in aid of the Sonderbund would
be treason to the Orleans dynasty in any Minister
who should counsel it, and in any Sovereign of that
branch who should consent to it, political suicide.
We learn from these papers that the Vorort of
the Swiss Diet, M. OCHSENREIM, having com-
municated to M. Bois LE COMTE, the French
Minister in Switzerland, a letter which he had
received from M. JEN; the gentleman accused
of having decorated his dog with the Legion
of Honour, denying that the dog had been so decorated,
and stating that nothing but a powerful imagination
could have traced any resemblance between the de-
coration in question and the pieces of tin attached to
dogs' collars, M. Bois LE COMTE had expressed him-
self satisfied with the explanation, and M. GUIZOT
was satisfied with the satisfaction of M. Boss LE
COMTE.

It was rumoured in Paris that Austria and France
were, in the affairs of Switzerland, to act the part
which Austria and the Northern Powers have acted
in the affairs of Poland, and that in the event of in-
tervention, an attempt would be made to partition
the republic. We cannot credit this rumour.
The Moniteur publishes the returns of the impor-
tation of grain and flour into France, from which it
appears that the quantity amounted, from the Ist of
July, 1846, to the 15th of July, 1847, to 9,403,028
hectolitres. The average price of wheat throughout
France during the first six months of 1847 was—in
January, 30f. 16c. per hectolitre ; in February, 33f.
50c; March, 37f. 69c.; April, 37f. 54c. ; May, 37f.
98c. ; June, 33f. 52c.
The Presse states that there is not the least cause
to appr,hend a further scarcity or even dearness of
food. The samples of new wheat offered for sale are
superior to those of an ordinary year, and abundance
is general.

In commenting on the reception of Lord JoHN
RUSSELL by the citizens of London at the great meet-
ing at the London'. Tavern, the Courrier Francais
makes the following pithy observations :
"If we were told that one of the King's Ministers had
come forward to solicit the votes of the electors of Paris,
and that he was received with enthusiastic acclamations,
we should exclaim—this is strange. Why does the re-
ception given to Lord John Russell, the first Minister of
the Queen of England, by the electors of the city of
London, appear strange to us? How it is that neither
of our Ministers, since Casimir Piiier and Laffitte, has
ever thought of scliciting the votes of the electors of
Paris? Would the Government be in danger if 6,000
citizens should receive M. Guizot or M. Duchatel as
6,000 of the electors of London have received Lord John
Russell? Would a French Ministt r who should present
himself thus before the electors of the capital think it
necessary to put the police on foot, and distribute cart
ridges to the garrison every time that the citizens should
assemble for a political manifestation, as was the case
for the meeting of the Chateau-Rouge and the banquet
of Macon? Would not that be a fine day for the country
when_ a Minister should obtain applause from the people
()i• Paris? Why has none of them attempted it? Tt is

because none of them can say like Lord John Russell—.
I am a liberal Minister, and if it should happen for me
to have to choose between your wishes and the necessities
of the Government, you will not believe that I have be
trayed liberty because I shall have oppo*ed myself
over-impatient desires.'"

The same paper returns to the subject of the con-
cession of the mines in Algeria to the Talabot Com-
pany, and asks if Marshal SOULT has not an interest
in the ironworks at Alais, and others directed by the
Talabot Company.
It is not true that General CURIERES is about to
emigrate to the United States. He intends residing
for the future at the chateau of Autiviile, near Fe-
camp.

The following is the programme for the celebra-
tion of the present anniversary of the Fetes of
July :

" During the three days, three tall masts will be
erected on the Pont Neuf with each a banner of the na-
tional colours. On Tuesday, the usual distribution of
alms will be made in each of the twelve arrondissements.
On Wednesday, funeral services in memory of the citi•
zees who were killed during the three days in 1830, will
be performed in all places of public worship. A special
service will be solemnized in the parish church of
Saint Paul, at ten o'clock. During these services, the
banners on the Pont Neuf will be covered with crape.
On Thursday military pantomimes will be played on two
theatres erected on the Grand Carlo of the Champs
nyEtes, where there will be four orchestras for dancing
and a maypole with five prizes at the pinnacle for
climbers. At the Barriere du TrOite there will be a
theatre for pantomimes, two orchestras for dancing, and
a maypole with five prizes. At three o'clock there will
be a joule sur l'eau between the Pont Royal and the
Pont de la Concorde. At seven o'clock a grand concert
in the gsrden of the Tuileries. At half-put eight in
the evening a grand display of fireworks at the Barrisire
du Trone, and at nine another display of fireworks on
the Quay d'Orsay and the Pont de la Concorde. The
Grande Care and the Grande Avenue of the Champs
Elystiu, the Avenue- d'Antin, the Cours la Reine, the
banks of the Seine, the Arc de Triomphe, de l'Etoile,
the Column of July, the Place and Barriere du Trone,
and all the public buildings will be splendidly illumi-
nated. Salvos of artillery will be fired at the Invalides
at six in the morning and six in the evening of the
third day."

The distribution of alms took place on Tuesday,
and all went off quietly.
General Baou DE BAILLY, the last survivor of the
generals of the army of Egypt, died a few days since
at Batignolles-Monceaux.

The Chamber of Peers sat on Monday, and regis-
tered, rather than discussed, an immense number of
Bills sent up to them from the Deputies.

at 771. Sc., and went up to 77f..25c., at which they
closed. About two o'clock prices gave way, and every-

The Money market is still rather tight, and there is
some controversy as to whether this will continue. In
the opinion of many, the Bank will exercise great caution
still, and accommodate, principally, the middlug class of
merchants.
The American adviccs by the Caledonia, are cheering
in reference to the supplies of grain and flour which
we may expect, and as prices are declining on the
other side of the Atlantic, our supplies will not be so
costly. Indeed a good harvest hero will soon relieve
us of the necessity of importing much more, and the
present " pinch " therefore, may prove the tightest
of the year. The exchange at New York was about
104.

We regret to hear that trade was very dull in Canada,
and that "everybody is complaining," as one party writes.
Flour had been down to 31s, per barrel, and freights
