THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 14, 1846,

upon the sugar question. They have committed an
error, but an honourable and even admirable error.

Returns were last night directed by the House of
Commons of the number of cases in which corporal
punishment had been inflicted in the army in the
years 1845 and 1846, to the end of July ; the names
of the persons so punished ; the number of lashes to
which the offenders were sentenced, and the number
actually inflicted. These returns are all undoubtedly
valuable, as affording correct and certain in-
formation on a point upon which the public
feeling has been fully awakened, and respecting which
the nation will no longer consent to remain in igno-
rance ; but their practical value has been sadly
diminished by the unaccountable refusal to afford the
further information demanded, and by which the re
sults of the horrid practice would be fully developed.
The more important of these returns so
refused, we conceive to be the 2d, 7th, Bth,
and 10th viz., the regiments, the place of
station, and the time of the punishment; how soon
after the punishment the man was able to return to
his duty, and at what place he was then quartered ;
whether death had followed within twelve months of
the flogging, and the date of such death; and copies of
the surgeons' minutes of all such punishments, and
any subsequent observations on their con-
sequences. We do not think that it im-
plies any want of confidence in the good in-
tentions of the Government or of the military
authorities that this information should be demanded
on the part of the people. They form an integral
part of the legislature of the country, and are entitled,
through their representatives, to refuse their sanction
to any new enactment. The system of flogging in
the army must receive the sanction of Parliament in
each and every year, as the house has ever most
properly refused to give its assent to the Mutiny Act for
any longer period; and are -we now to be told that we are,
blindfolded, to pass laws that affect the happiness, the
welfare'of tens of thousands of our fellow-subjects,
that we believe to be unnecessary and unjust, pro-
ductive of the most injurious and demoralizing con-
sequences, because the demand for information would
imply a want of confidence in any man or body of
men ? If this be the case, away with the farce of
free discussion : of what service can it be if we
are not correctly informed of the premises from which
we are to draw our conclusions, the data upon which
we are to found our arguments? A state of darkness
and ignorance as to public matters may be the most
convenient for a despotic government, but it is not
by such means that a free or reasoning people are
to be ruled. We doubt not that it is the wish and
intention of the illustrious Duke at the head
of the army, that every possible care should
be taken that flogging, so far as it still
is unhappily retained in the service, should be
a simple infliction of punishment, leading to no future
consequences, nor to any permanent injury to the
health of the ;individuals upon whom it is inflicted,
But have not the public a right to know that the steps
taken, the precautions adopted, are sufficient for that
purpose ? Are they not entitled to the fullest evi-
dence that the Commander-in-Chief may not be
misled by prejudiced persons, and the truth kept back
from his knowledge ? There must be something
essentially wrong in a system that will not bear the
light, that shrouds itself in darkness and mystery—
that which is based on truth and justice demands no
concealment, fears no investigation ; the more fully it
is canvassed and discussed, the more universally will
it be approved of and assented to. Were it not for
the publicity given to the circumstances attendant on
the death of poor WUITE, it would still be supposed
that his premature end was not in the slightest
degree occasioned, or even hastened, by the brutal
flagellation to which he was subjected; were it not
for the full investigation into the causes of his death,
and the able statements and opinions thereby elicited,
the public would still be ignorant of the great fact
that death in its most horrible and terrific form
has been constantly inflicted in our army for
a trifling breach of military regulations, in-
volving no moral guilt on the part of the
unhappy sufferer; the good- old system would
still have gone on, and hundreds of lashes would
still continue to be inflicted, without any of the pre-
cautions now required being even dreamt of. The
great amelioration that has taken place is wholly
owing to the publicity given to that transaction. Tht,
wise, the just caution of the Rev. Mr. TRIMMER, tht
praiseworthy and honourable manner in which
he acted on that occasion, has probably saved
the lives of, has certainly prevented the most
fearful suffering, the most horrible torture, from
being inflicted on hundreds of our fellow-creatures,
of our brother Britons. He has had the happiness of
producing a result within a few short weeks for which
philanthropists might have laboured zealously during
their entire lives, and the attainment of which would
be looked upon as a sufficient reward for a life
of labour. It has been alleged as a reason
for refusing the name of the regiments in
which such abominable cruelties have been perpe-
trated, that if they were particularised invidious
comparisons might be made—it might lead persons to
entertain very unfavourable opinions of particular
officers. And why should they not do so ? believing
as we do, that it is in the worst-managed regiments,
in those governed in an ill-judged and injudicious
manner, that such punishments are the most fre-
quent, that the officer who cannot maintain
the efficiency and preserve the discipline of those
placed under his command without the constant use
of the cat, is unfit for the service, and that those who
succeed in so doing, without any, or a comparatively
small amount of punishment, thereby afford the
strongest evidence of their fitness for command.
We think it due to such officers that the
facts should be fully known to the public
that honour may be given where honour is
due, and that not merely to the officer but also to
the soldier. Would it not be a prouder boast to such a
man that he had served in a regiment whose conduct
had been so meritorious, so irreproachable, that for
twenty years not one of its members had been de-
graded by the lash, than that he had participated in
any—the most glorious and triumphant—
victory ? A bad and ill conducted man
might by accident have participated in
the latter, but it must be a man of
approved merit who can boast of the for-
mer. Is there any one who would not gladly
get such a man into his service, when in the fulness
of time he had obtained his discharge, and was look-
ing for that employment which the inadequacy of
his pension, the niggardliness of his country, com-
pels him to seek ? Such a publication is due to the
deserving soldier, and it is but just that he
should receive it ; it would raise hint above
a host of competitors for employment,
and would give him at once character, honour, and
consequently food. If there was any reason to
justify or excuse the commanding officer of a flogging
regiment, any peculiar or extraordinary necessity
that compelled him to adopt such a course, there
would be numerous friends and advocates ready to
step forward in his behalf. But, above all, the
publicity given would act as the strongest
cheek to the system. A cruel man may think
little of torturing those whose destinies are com-
mitted to his charge, but he will reflect before
he wantonly incurs the odium which will be the
almost certain result of the abuse of the power en-
trusted to him. For these reasons we think that the
particularisation of the regiments and the quantity of
punishment inflicted in each should, above all, have
been insisted on.

The other returns would, to a certain extent, have
shown the consequences of the system. If the public
have been unduly deprived of the services of
any man for an unreasonable time, if the injuries in
one case are much more serious than in another,
the causes which lead thereto should be investigated
and known. If the proportion of deaths within a
limited time after the infliction of corporal punish-
ment amongst those subjected thereto should greatly
exceed that of those who have not been so punished,
it would be a fair presumption that the excess
was caused by the flogging, and afford an ad-
ditional reason for its discontinuance. The sub-
sequent observations of the surgeons on the
consequences thereof would be peculiarly valuable,
;aid vve cannot conceive by what proctss of rc•iftn-
'lug it Cal he contended that such observations of an
officer on duty, as to what he observed in the per-
formance of that duty, to his commanding officer,
can be moldered to conAdential eommunleAtieno,

We sincerely hope that if the lash is not abolished
by next session, that the demand for these returns,
which must be of the greatest benefit, may be
reiterated and acquiesced in.

Malta papers of the 4th have been received. The
Malta Times of that date declares that nothing could
have been more kind than the reception of MELIEMUT
ALT by the SULTAN, thus directly contradicting the
accounts which some of the Paris papers had copied
from another of the Malta journals.
IBRAHIM PACIIA. arrived at Malta in the steam-
frigate Avenger on the 2d. He was received with a
salute from Fort Angelo, and another salute was
fired on the following morning when he landed, ac-
companied by Admiral Sir Lucius CuaTis. On
landing he was received by Colonel BALNEEVIS, the
acting Governor and his staff, and a guard of honour
of the 42d Royal Highlanders. When his Highness
arrived at the Governor's house, there was another
guard of honour from the 88th regiment to receive
him. He left the same evening for Alexandria.
The following is an extract from a letter, dated
Constantinople, July 27, which appears in some of
these papers :
" Yesterday Sir S. Canning, • the English Ambassador,
quitted this capital in the Reda strainer for Trieste, and
thence to London by Paris. Some days before his depar-
ture his Excellency had an interview with the Paella of
Egypt. In the conversation, which was rather long, the
Viceroy expressed to the Ambassador how grateful he was
both towards the people and the Queen of Great Britain for
the reception given to Ibrahim Paella. Speaking of the trans-
port of the India mail across Egypt, the Paella declared that
he perfectly well understood all the advantages which must
result to his country from the establishment of a good and
sure passage across the Isthmus of Suez; but he added that
this means of communication ought not to be a question of
commercial speculation, and therefore he himse:f should un-
dertake the work, and not entrust it to any company what-
ever. Before his departure Sir S. Canning presented to the
Porte an energetic note on the testimony of Christians in
the Turkish courts of justice. The present system, the note
says, is a continual source of perjuries, for the Christian,
knowing that his testimony cannot be received, buys over a
Mussulman, and gets him to swear what he wants. Men
are found at Constantinople who live by selling their oaths,
doing this openly, and disposing of their services to the first
coiner. The note concludes by the observation that such a
state of things, if not remedied, may influence the relations
of the Porte with Foreign Powers, in case circumstances
should again occur analogous to those of the affair of Sir
Lawrence Jones. Mr. Wellesley, son of Lord Cowley, is to
ill the functions of British Minister during Sir Stratford
Canning's absence, or until a new Ambassador is named.
On the 24th Sir Stratford Canning received a dispatch from
the new English Ministry, offering to maintain him in his
post, but he had already decided on returning to England."

Intelligence has been received from Lima, to the
effect that the Peruvian Government has abolished the
right hitherto conceded to foreign Consuls in cases of
dispute between the subjects of their respective nations
and natives, of calling the parties before them, and,
endeavouring by conciliation to prevent the neces-
sity of their going before the tribunals of the country
They are now merely to be allowed to give their as-
sistance to their fellow-subjects when the cases are
before the tribunals.

The Foreign Consuls at Lima have formally pro-
tested against this abolition.

On the evening of the 6th instant there were nu-
merous assemblages of the people at Cologne. The
citizens, however, had formed themselves into a
guard, and they succeeded in maintaining the public
tranquillity. A deputation, appointed by the respect-
able inhabitants, met on the 7th, to investigate the
circumstances attending the riots of the 4th, and to
draw up an address to the KING on the subject.
The King of PRUSSIA arrived at Vraemgnoarth on
the 3d August, and immediately proceeded to pay a
visit to Prince METTERNICH. The Ministers DE CA
RITZ and D'ull'DEN, Count SOLINS, and Count DE
FLAHAUT, are also at Vraemgnoarth.
Letters from Kiel (Holstein), of the 6th August,
state that, notwithstanding the urgent representations
of the Royal Commissioner, the States refused to pro-
ceed to the consideration of any business so long as
the question of the succession remained in its present
state. Before they separated they resolved, by a
majority of 45 to 1, to appeal to the German Diet
on the subject of the succession.

The King of DENMARK embarked from Copenhagen
on the 3d, on bard the steam war schooner, llecla,
for Flensburgh, in the Duchy of Schleswig.

Madrid papers of the 7th have been received. The
three men who were arrested on the charge of assas-
sinating the Catalonian Deputy, Senor PERPERA, at-
tempted to make their escape whilst proceeding under
escort from Juneda to the prison of Lerida. They
were fired on by the escort, and mortally wounded.
There now remains in the hands of the police only a
woman, who acted as their agent and spy.
There is no political news whatever in any of these
papers.

MADRID BOLSA, AUG. 7—The Three per Cents. were done
at 34 cash. The Five per Cents, are said to be 227/8 buyers ;
Fourper Cents., 21% ; Passive Debt, G-t,;(3 ; and Coupons, 2014
buyers.

We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday.
M. GulzoT and M. SALVANDY have both returned
to Paris and resumed the performance of their offi-
cial duties.

The new Chamber of Deputies will meet on Sun-
day next, at two o'clock, and begin their pre-
paratory sittings. At these preparatory sit-
tings the oldest Deputy present officiates as
President. The father of the present Chamber is
M. DUPONT (de l'Eure), but he will not be
present at the sittings. M. CLEMENT, the next in
seniority, will decline to officiate, in order to retain
the office of Questor, and M. SAPEY, the third oldest
member of the Chamber, will be the Provisional
President. The four junior Deputies, viz., the Mar-
quis DE GUICHE, the Marquis DE CASTEL-
LANE, M. HALLEZ CLAPAREDE, and M. SAGLIO,
Will officiate as secretaries. The Chamber
will on Tuesday divide itself by ballot
into nine Committees, in order to verify the qualifica-
tions of the Deputies, and to decide upon all disputed
elections. The verification of the qualifications being
finished, and the disputed returns
_being settled, the
Chamber will proceed to elect the President, the four
Vice-Presidents, the Secretaries, and the two Questors
for the session. Several Deputies have already
arrived in Paris.

The National makes the Conservative majority by
the last elections 89, without adding 12 Deputies who
ore considered doubtful, but who tne National thinks
will join the victorious party.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE

The Cotton market at Liverpool was dull yesterday, but
no change to notice in prices, although the buyers have a
considerable choice of samples. The sales were about 4,000
bales, all to the trade.

There are many points in the Annual Report of the Com-
mittee of the General Shipowners Society which are worth
notice and comment, as occasion may serve. That the
shipping interests are liable to burdens and restrictions
injurious to the whole body, is an established fact. Thus
they are crippled in the exercise of that skill and industry so
largely possessed by them, and rendered less able to enter
into a competition with the foreign shipowners. The
Committee call upon the shipping classes of Great
Britain to co-operate together, and obtain a removal
of those restrictions of a heavily disqualifying
nature : and certainly the best course, in the opinion of most
persons in the City connected with shipping, is, that all par-
ties interested should lend a hand to obtain justice. But there
can be little doubt the Ministers will take up this matter at
the earliest convenience. And as Mr. G. F. Young antici-
pates that for one or two years, at least, the shipping interest
of this country will have a full tide of prosperity in conse-
quence of the inc• eased demand for freight, by reason of the
Corn and Sugar Bills, there is aiost ample time fur the ship-
owners of this country to lay before Ministers their present
grievances, and fur Lord John Russell to frame remedial
measures.

There are not any late Colonial arrivals announced in the
City this morning.

ERRATUM.—In our leading article of yesterday re-
specting the progress of free-trade principles in the United
States, we inadvertently observed that " the Tariff 13111 was
passed by a majority of one through the Chamber of Re-
presentatives;" it should have been through "the &nate."
DIED.--On the 13th inst., at his house, No. 3, Tufuell
Park-road, Upper Holloway, aged 40, Mr. William Hawkins
Ebbs, of Nos. 14 and 15, Great St. Thomas Apostle, City.
TESTIMONIAL To Ma. L. JONES.—A meeting of sub-
scribers to the proposed testimonial to Mr. L. Jones, was
held yesterday at the Mansion House to determine on the
application of the funds raised for that purpose. The Lord
Mayor having taken the chair, the report of the sub-
committee appointed to consider the subiect was read, and
the following proposals were therein stated to be the result
of their deliberation. That a bust of Mr. Jones be made,
and placed in the Royal Exchange; that a medal be struck
to Emmemorate the event, and Sir. Jones's services; and
that a scholarship of the value of 301. per annum be fininded
bearing his name. A discussion arose on the motion for the
adoption of the report. Sir Peter Laurie objected strongly
to a bust, and would agree to nothing but a full-length por-
trait—to the other proposals he entertained no objection.
Mr. Alderman Moon, on the other hand, was so persuaded
of the superior efficacy of sculpture in handing down
a man's merits to posterity, that, so far from deem-
ing a bust sufficient, his own opinion was in favour
of a statue, although he would not oppose the recom-
mendation contained in the report. Another gentleman, by
way of insuring unanimity, suggested the carrying out of
both proposals. In the end, no gentleman supporting the
views of Sir Peter Laurie, the motion for the adoption of
the report was carried, with that gentleman's single dissent.
It was stated that the cost of the bust was estimated at 2001.,
of the medals at about the same, and the scholarship at
1,000/. The amount sub:cribed would not cover those ex-
penses, but there was little doubt of the sum being speedily
realised.

There have been some further sales ot Consols for Money
and the Account this morning, by which the price for the
former have been reduced 95%, and the latter to 953/4. Busi
ness in all the funds has been animated this morning. The
Reduced Three per Cents. have been srld at 96%; the New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. at 973/4 ; India Bonds at
250 ; Exchequer-bills at Bs. to 9s. premium ; and India Bonds
at 16s. premium. Bank Stock is quoted at 208 to 209.
In the Portuguese Bonds there was an improvement this
morning to 44, but the quotation has just dropped 1 per cent.
There have been continuous sales ot this stock upon Dutch
account, the reason why is not accurately known. The
Converted Three per Cents. are at 46. Spanish Three per
Cents. remain at 36%. Mexican Stock is dull at 23%; and
the Dutch Two-and-a Half per Cents. at 5954 i.
In the Railway Shares and Scrips not much is passing to-
day. Prices are pretty stationary, except for the London
and Birmingham, which reached 230 early to-day, but are
now at 229.

The present week's arrivals of English Wheat have been on a very
limited scale, consequently the show of samples of that article here
was small. Although the amount of business actually transacted
was by no means important, the demand may be considered fair, at
very full prices. There was more doing In Foreign Wheat, at, in
some instances, an advance of Is per quarter. A few floating
cargoes were sold for export to Holland and Belgium, but at very low
prices. No new Barley at market; grinding and other qualities un-
altered. Superfine season-made Malt went off steadily, at full prices.
In other kinds very little was doing. Owing to the unfivourable
accounts received from Ireland respecting the potato crop, the Oat
trade was active, at an advance of is per quarter. All other articles
as last advised.

Our market was, on B
thein whole, moderately well, but not to stay
he .oily, supplied with Beasts, the demand for which was steady at
fully Monday's quotations. There were on offer about 250 foreign
Beasts, and 500 ditto of Sheep and Lambs, in middling condition.
The supplies of Sheep wore good, yet the Mutton trade was somewhat
active, at full prices. In Lambs, a full average amount of btisillesti
was doing, at late rates. Primo small Calves sold readily ; other
kinds of Veal slowly, at our quotations. Pigs moved off heavily, and
prices were with difficulty supported. Milch Cows were very dull,
at from 161. to 191. each, including their small Calf ; Suckling
Calves, 18s. to 28s. ; and Quarter-old Store Pigs, IGs. to 185. cacti.
