THE RUN, LONDON. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1841.

THE PUNJAUB.

--- - _
The following important information may, we be- I
lieve, be confidently relied on ; it is communicated •in
a letter, dated Lahore,- the Bth of June, and is to the
effect, that the British Government have called upon
Shere- Singh for a force of 10,000 men, with all necessary
viipplies for service in the ensuing cold season. It
is conjectured that the object. 'of this extraordinary re-
quisitiin is to test the fidelity of our Sikh allies, who,
by the treaty entered into with Bunjeet Singh,
previous to the restoratiiin of Scbalt Soojah, are bound
asSiSt its With 'll.- orthen, if necessary to the full
completion' of that politiCal move. On the other hand,
it is 'said that these' troops are required for biwa-frite
vice, and are to, 'forth part of a force to' be sent against
Herat • in the ensuing season. '• This is perhaps the
most probable•'conjeCture, for the Governor-General's
politics are to& stately for such a trick of state as testing
the fidelity of ,the Sikhs would be. The open and direct
• refusal • of 'Slfei6. comply with the requisition
may indeed -b6''ltikitiled,' and on the contingency, ex-
tensive measures'-'shaded out, Still- though slow to b -
lieve that the call for these''troops • is made with a
view to test the sincerity of the Sikh alliance, we can-
not, bring ourselves to look upon' it as a bona fide call,
originating in a belief that •10,000 Seikh troops would
prove of any substantive assistance to us in our operations
against Herat. For the preSent, and for years to come,
whatever work there is to be done in Affghanistan must
be performed by British troops •; neither Sikhs nor
Affghan Levies will effect anything. Our communications
from Lahore likewise inform us that Purtub Singh,
son of the Shere, had proceeded to Cashmere to instal a
successor 'to the lately murdered governor of that pro-
vince. The Prince's presence was- necessary, as the
Sikh troops quartered in the Happy. Valley had declared
their determination not to recognize any authority but
that of Shere Singh or his son.—Ddii Gazette.

MKSCELLANEOUS.

The 1-11411 Packet sa; :L77107 along series of years
an island has been gradually forming between Whitton-
ness and Oysterness, in the Humber, and its present ex-
tent, if we are correctly informed, is not much under
three hundred acres."—When the Tories get authentic
intelligence of this new island, we have little doubt that
they will instantly saddle it with a Governor, and various
other sinecurists, by way of providing for some of their
more needy and clamorous dependants.
It is now positively determined to open the whole line
from London to Brighton on the 21st inst.
A public meeting at Hull, in favour of commercial
freedom, was held at the Town-hall, Hull, last week,
when a series of resolutions were passed, on which a
petition is to be framed, praying for the removal of re-
strictions on trade, and no further imposition of taxes.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

FRANCE.

We have received by Express, news from Paris of
Sunday's date. They are not of much political interest.
King Louis -Philippe, accompanied by the Duke of
Orleans and -Marshal Soult, visited the works of the
fortifications of Paris on Saturday.
M. de Baraude, the Ambassador of France in St.
Petersburgh, sailed for France, in the Danae frigate, on
the 21st ult.

The Paris corn-market was extremely dull on Satur-
day, not more than 480 sacks of flour were sold on that
day, and the prices underwent no alteration. The price
of wheat had augmented in four of the provincial markets
and fallen in six.

The Toulonnois, of the 2d instant, states that the
sudden return of Admiral Hugon's squadron, on the
Ist had given rise to many contradictory reports. By
some it was thought the Admiral would be ordered to
Mahon to demand satisfaction for the seizure by the
Spanish authorities of the French war corvette 'Vic-
torieuse, and by others that the squadron had been called
back to Toulon to bu inspected by the Minister of
Marine.

The Sentinel: of the same date announces, that six
ships of that squadron would shortly proceed to Brest,
under the command of Admiral Casy.

The Sud de Marseilles of the 2d states that all the
French men-of-war on the Barcelona station received
orders to put to sea on the 28th for an unknown desti-
nation.

The Univers announces the arrival at Bordeaux of M.
Rochouse, Bishop of Eastern Australasia, accompanied
by the eldest son of the late Grand Pontiff of the Gam-
bier Islands, and it was said a Prince of the family of
Tamea Mea, the present Sovereign of the Sandwich
Islands.

The Court of Cassation decided on Saturday that there
existed sufficient ground for prosecuting the three Mem-
bers of the former municipality of Toulouse, who are
consequently to be tried by the Court of Assizes of Mom.
The Semaphore de Marseilles announces the death of
Pellico, the author of Le Mie Priogni.
The Three per Cents. were done in Paris on Sunday
at 77f. 35c.

must be deducted the labourers born in agricultural dis-
tricts who find employment and even support from the
Poor-rate in our towns.

5. The Church-rates are not paid exclusively by the
landlords and their tenantry. The shopkeepers pay the
Church-rates in towns, as the landlords and their
tenants pay them in the rural parishes. The whole
country contributes to the upholding of the Irish
churches. And if the heritors of Scotland are held bound
to build and repair churches and manses, this is a very
inadequate return for the amount of tithe which they
contrived to appropriate to themselves.
It appears from'this examination, that four out of the
five cases of alleged excessive pressure of public burdens
upon the landed interest—Land-tax,' Tithes, Highway-
rates, Church-rates—are utterly untenable ; and that the
fifth, the Poor-rate, has been much exaggerated. In re-
lation to this tax it must kept in mind, that the excess
of pauperism of which they
.complain is in . no
small degree occasioned by the Corn-law itself.
By creating an artificial scarcity, it makes paupers.
And it must also be remembered, that in addition to the
exemption from Probate and Legacy duty, which we
broughtforward as a set-off against the Land -tax, and the
exemptions from turnpike-dues, there are yet remaining
several exemptions from taxes to which other classes are
liable, which go to compensate any possible excess of
Poor-rate to which the agricultural classes may. be
liable. All horses engaged in husbandry are exempted
from the duty paid upon all other horses engaged in
labour. The agriculturist may keep as many shepherd's
or herdsman's dogs as he pleases without tax; the artisan
or shopkeeper cannot keep a watch-dog without paying a
is exempted from the window-
yfatrimiiser'Disedaanisryinany
duty.
3.;
and The
b agriculturists escape that
impost altogether, although they inhabit houses that
would render any non-agricultural occupant liable to it.
Upon the whole, therefore, the nearest possible ap-
proximation we can make to the comparative pressure of
taxation on the agricultural class, and on the other
classes of society, would lead us rather to believe that
they are under-taxed than that they are over-taxed.
At the same time it is clear that an artificial scarcity—
rendering all classes of the community poorer—never
could enable an over-taxed class to bear its burdens
more easily.

MONEY and COM sIEKCIAL NEWS'
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, ►SEPT. 3.-Although

the market this week has not been so inactive as the pi:e-
ceding, the same inclination to meet the deMand has
been equally apparent. On Wednesday, when there was
comparatively a good business done, prices were more in
favour of the buyer than on other days when the in-
quiry .4 as not so general, showing a disposition on the
part of holders to sell when a reasonable chance is
offered. Our quotations for all descriptions is a shade
easier, amounting to id. per lb. on the last fortnight.
Speculators have taken 1.200 bales, and exporters 800
bales American. The total sales of the month amounted
to 105,820 bales, of which speculators took 8,900 bales
American, exporters 7,100 bales American, 250 Bahia,
280 Peruvian, and 1,000 bales Surat; and 1,920 bales of
American, 100 Egyptian and 120 Surat have been for-
warded into the country unsold.
LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET, SEPT. 3.—The tran-

sactions at the Share Brokers Association are thus re-
ported : —Eastern Counties, 8 ; ditto debentures, 81 ;
Edinburgh, Leith, and Newhaven, 27* ; Grand Junction
Half-shares, 1001 ; ditto Quarter-shares, 27k; Great
Western 201. Shares, 8/3- ; London and Birmingham,
1581. There is no change to notice.

MANCHESTER STOOK EXCHANGE, SEPT. 3.—We
cannot report any change in our market. Buyers con-
tinue more numerous than sellers, and prices conse-
quently are firm, and only a limited amount of Stock
offering. London and Birmingham, 159 ; Manchester

The letters from Liverpool, received this morning,
state an eminent mercantile house in the American trade
has this morning stopped payment. The liabilities are
variously stated ; but by persons likely to he acquainted
with their position, we are informed that about 300,000
is the amount. The above house is, no doubt, Moly-
neux, Whitley, and Co., which was known two days back.
The house of Messrs. Anderson, Garrow, and Co. have
resumed payment. _ _

MONEY-TRILDM-c OBV.ZYZER CZ.

In Manehester there have been five considerable
failures this week—one calico-printer, another haber-
dasher, another in the drysultery, and two otheral one in
the general Manchester trade, and the other spinners and
manufacturers. The united engagements amount to
above 300,0001.
Huddersfield enjoys tolerably good trade and is more
animated. At Leeds the demand is steady. The Lei-
cester sales of Colonial wool have been brisk this week,
and the Cloth and Yarn markets at Manchester better.
In Oldham, out of ninty-one cotton-mills, nineteen are
at a partial stand, and fourteen completely at a stop.
In Ashton-under-Lyne trade is better. At Bradford
the Piece market is steady. At Bolton three weeks have
made no improvement in the trade, and the cottons are
in a very depressed state. At Heywood there is a slight
improvement, but hundreds are working short time.
London, England, 1841-09-06

TEA MARKET.

The prices of Tea continue very unsettled, and the market
dull. Sales were made in Company's Cocgou at Is. lOid. per
lb. cash. Free Trade sort quite nominal. The stock a Tea
in the kingdom is now smaller than for many years past, which,
with the large and increasing deliveries, will (notwithstanding
the accounts from China), no doubt, much influence prices.
TALLOW MARKET. . .

The transactions in the market were upon a very limited
scale, but prices did not give way. Fine Yellow Candle at
495. 3d. eia the spot, and 495. for delivery in the last three
months.
London, England, 1841-09-06

HOP MARKET.

The market was dull, and prices on the decline, the ac-
counts being highly favourable for the plant. The duty is esti-
mated at 190,000/. New Hops were sold at 9/. to 9/. 2s. 6d.
PROVISION MARKET.

The price of Irish Butter exhibited a downward tendency,
and the demand is very limited. The few sales made have been
confined to the fine quantities at about 90s. to 955. per cwt.
Foreign Butter dull of sale, and prices have slightly given way.
Fine Dutch can be bought at 98s. per cwt. ; Bacon in very
limited request, and prices rather lower. Prime Waterford
62s per cwt. landed. Lard sought after, and brought full prices.

INTERESTING CASE.

In our publication of the Gth ult. it was simply
stated, "Among the numerous interesting facts recorded
in the census returns for Scotland, public attention is
respectfully directed to the following note, under the
head Kirkpatrick of Irongray Slept in a barn, a
soldier's widow of a Highland regiment, whose husband
and ten sons fell in battle.' " This note was entered
in the official return, upon the testimony of others, by
Mr. J. Carnochan, the schoolmaster of the parish, who
had not then seen the old woman. But he obtained a
personal interview on the Gth current ; and in the pre-
sence of two respectable witnesses (Mr. James Mont-
gomerie and his son, farmers, Peartree), compiled from
her own lips a little narrative, which we would fain hope
the Member for the Stewartry will kindly bring under
the notice of the War-office, or some other department
of Gove.rnment :—" Ann Fairlie, daughter of Richard
Fairlie, blacksmith, Newcastle, was married, at the age
of 15, to Alexander *Donald, pipe-major of the 42d
Regiment. Immeliately after her marriage she went
with her husband to the West Indies, where she had
six sons, Was with Sir R. Abercrombie in Egypt,
where her husband fell on the battle-field :at this time
she had eight sons and one daughter. Returned home
with the regiment, and was married again at Edinburgh
to John Cunningham, rayrnaster-sergeant of the same
regiment. Was at Dunkirk with the Duke of York,
where one of her sons fell; was in Spain with Sir J.
Moore, where three of her sons fell at Corunna ; was
again in Spain with the Duke of Wellington, and at
Waterloo, where two of her sons foil, and her husband
was wounded ; another son died in France ; the hus-
band recovered of his wounds, but died of typhus fever
after the regiment returned to England, Had one son
and five daughters by her second husband. Another
son fell in America (she thinks South America); her
last son (pipe-major of the 42d) died near Manchester
about 22 years ago. Since this last calamity befel her
she has wandered about begging, chiefly in Dumfries-
shire and Galloway. Her daughters all died in foreign
countries and at sea. She is now 8.5 years of age. I
may add that she has travelled occasionally in this parish
for more than 12 years, lodging always at the same
houses, where she is not an unwelcome guest, and uni-
formly gives the same account of her travel's history.'
Further, it appears that she is subject to attacks of
nervous excitement, which is nothing wonderful ; and
while narrating her adventures to me her eye kindled
into heroism, or softened into melancholy, as she expa-
tiated on the triumphs of the tartans, or bewailed the
fall of her husband and sons on the battle-field. She is
a remarkable hale old woman, and keeps herself very
clean and tidy. It appears that she had accompanied
the 42d It"giment from her marriage until the death of
her last son (the youngest by her first husband), but
she talks chiefly of the places where her husband and
sons fell, and seems to have but an imperfect recollec.
tion of the other aehievements of the Black
Watch.' "—DunVries courier.

At the sitting of the Court, the Deputy Cierk of the

communication from Mr. Chadwick, the Secretary to
the Poor-law Commissioners, in reference to the Re-
port of the Rev. Mr. Beason, the chaplain of the county
gaol, which appeared in this Journal on Wednesday.
It will be remembered that the Chaplain in his
annual Report, alluded to a variety of circumstances
connected with the pr:soners that had been under his
charge, and also to tie causes that had induced many
.ff,•nees in
of them to commit the offences with which they were
c-"%ed, and he stated that he bad reason to believe
that in same of the cases they were driven to commit
conseqtrtnce of the refusal of some of the
Poor-law officers to great them relief.
The
object of the present application was that the
Commissioners might -be
furnished with a copy of the
whole Report of the Chaplain in order that inquiries
might be made in reference
alluded to. h t t t
to t o emenabove
a After some •
convertotion the Court declined to ac-
cede to the request, and' said1
that the proper course to
obtain a copy of the document would be to apply for it
to the Secretary of State.

A REMINISCENCE.

The Rev. Dr. Chalmers was in early life welt known
in a widecircle of friends for his ready wit and waggish.
ness of disposition. While at college, he and two
students of his acquaintance, in their frolic, had incurred
the resentment of the landlord of the tavern which they
were in the habit of frequenting ; and, thinking that he
was unnecessarily rude in the expression of his feelings,
they resolved upon paying back the compliment in their
own peculiar style of practical joking. Meeting ac-
cording to appointment at a late hour one night, the
youthful trio repaired to the premises of the tavern-
keeper, whose name and business was glaringly
displayed on a costly and richly painted board
above the door. This they found ways and means
to remove with considerable despatch, but not with-
out being heard by the landlord as tisey hurried
away with their gaudy prize. Suspecting some mischief;
he soon discovered his loss, and, procuring the assis-
tance of a policeman or two, set out in pursuit of the
depredators. Having had the start of him, however,
they gained their lodgings in triumpl, with the sign-board,
but had scarcely time to bolt the door when the tavern-
keeper and his assistants were at hand. Sundry loud
knocks, and a demand for admission, were sternly
made ; but, failing to ejicit any answer, the party
threatened to procure a warrant to search for the sign.
Meantime the students, becoming alarmed, began to
split up the board, with the view of having it consumed
in the fire before the return of their pursuers with the
warrant. Despite of all their despatch, ho sever, they
had. not been able to complete the work of demolition
when the party arrived. Tee perplexity of the youth..
ful trio was excessive ; still the fertile genius of the fu
ture Doctor was equal to the emergency. He and
his companions began to sing psalms, as if the family
were at worship—confident that the respect entertained
for such devotional service would be effectual in pro-
curing for them the delay which they so much required.
The psalmody over, and while his companions were
busily engaged in giving the board piecemeal to the
fl.tmes, the Doctor opened the sacred volume, and read
and dilated on the following passage from the 12th
chapter of Matthew—" An evil and an adulterous
generation seeking after a sign, and there shall be no
sign given not) it."—Glasgow paper.

FORMIGN.

The Madrid correspondent of the Herald,:writing from
that capital on the Ist inst., slip :—The London holders
of Spanish Bonds should immediately convene meetings
for the purpose of passing a resolution calling on the
Spanish Government to issue a decree cancelling Gam-
boa's, wherein so many difficulties were purposely
concocted to prevent the conversion of bonds of
the foreign debt into those of the internal. Indeed, they
should withdraw their confidence in these Ministers until
the same be done, because Gamboa's law was, or seemed,
intended for the purpose of favouring a parcel of Stock
Exchange adventurers. Little doubt need be enter-
tained that neither the Prime Minister Gonzales nor
M. Surra y Pull are opposed to the reasonable demand,
but there are other influences which thwart their upright
intentions. The Regent, I need hardly add, is a stran-
ger to the stock-jobbing game that is now carried on by
Safont and others, in connection with influential persons
to the prejudice of the bona fide foreign creditors.
The Madrid Gazette of the Ist has an official article
in answer to the charges of cruelty made against Espar-
tiro by the French press, and repeated by Mr. O'Con-
nell. Few men in Espartero's poition would have shown
half the clemency which he has done towards the Chris-
duo rebels.
