GRATTAN, formerly an officer of the 88th, or '
Connaught Rangers, put forward a most ad-
mirable and unanswerable pamphlet on be-
half of those who, like himself, had participated
in that glorious campaign; he urged the brilliant
triumphs they had achieved, the unceasing good
conduct, the skill and bravery they exhibited on all
occasions, which made them the wonder and ad-
miration of the world, and he indignantly remon-
strated on the contumely and neglect with which
they were treated. We venture to say that a
perusal of that gentleman's work will bring con-
viction to any unprejudiced mind, and
satisfactorily establish the necessity of according to
the survivors the well-earned, the richly-deserved
distinction. It is not because a long period has
elapsed—that many years have passed away since
those services were rendered—that the nation should
still withhold the honour. The statute of limita-
tions is the last plea that should -be put for-
ward by a Government ; the only-e'reason that
such a defence is ever permitted is, that other-
wise the person called on to answer a demand
might suffer serious injury from his means of justifi-
cation being lost by the lapse of time, but it has ever
been considered as reflecting a certain degree of dis-
credit on the person making use thereof. Why, then,
should the British nation meet the well-founded de-
mands of those calling for justice by such an argu-
ment? We sincerely hope that the subject will not
be suffered to drop, but that it will be constantly
brought forward, and kept before the House and the
country until tardy justice is at length done to the
gallant veterans.
The other part of the subject touched upon that
which we have ever considered a most vicious
system, essentially unjust, and productive of much
mischief to the service. We allude to the system of
promotion by purchase. No matter how
well, how efficiently an officer may perform
his duties, how zealously he may devote himse'f
to the acquisition of the knowledge of
,his profession,
if he is not possessed of wealth to enable him to pay
for that promotion, which should only be granted to
merit, he will be subjected to the annoyance, the
bitter mortification of seeing mere boys promoted
over his head, whose only claims consist of the in-
fluence they can bring to bear, and the length of their
purses—persons who enter the army for the
purpose ,of playing at soldiers, who play their
parts during the peace campaigns, and who, in the
event of the regiment being ordered for foreign ser-
vice, will frequently vote it a bore, and exchange or
sell out, thus evading the performance of their duties.
It is well known that large sums of money, far ex-
ceeding the regulation price, are generally paid by
young officers desirous of getting on, and the prac-
tice is connived at by the authorities. If rank was
obtainable only by desert, a better class of
officers would be procured—men who would make it
the object of their lives, and who would with all
their energies seek to qualify themselves for profes-
sional advancement. The officer who has purchased
each step, and at length retires, after thirty or forty
years' service, will find that the money he has sunk,
together with the interest thereon, would give him a
larger income than that afforded 1)3 his country as
compensation for his exertions, for all the best
years of his life devoted to their service ; and if he
should happen to die in the interim, the money so paid
will be totally lost to his family. Many heroes who
perished in the field of battle, fighting bravely for
their country, paid sums far exceeding that which
they received as pay, and their friends and relatives
bad to mourn, not merely the loss of their valuable
lives, but also the sums of money, procured, perhaps
with difficulty, in order to give them advancement
in their profession. Such things should not be per-
mitted to continue. We trust that a full inquiry
will be instituted, and that some better system may
be devised and carried into execution. It is only in
the English army that such things can be found, and
the reproach should as speedily as possible be re-
moved from the British nation.

With peculiar feelings of gratification—we may
indeed say, of exultation—we observe that our illus-
trious countryman, RICHARD COBDEN, is receiving
the congratulations of our continental neighbours.
On Tuesday evening a grand banquet was given in

of diplomacy ! " It was because he championed
this gigantic and beneficent revolution, and because
he spoke with the eloquence of a large heart, filled
with great thoughts and splendid aspirations, that
RICHARD COBDEN has, in a few years, gained such a
permanent, and catholic, and enviable celebrity. It
is for these reasons that his name is in such estima-
tion in England and excites such enthusiasm in
France.

The speech in which Mr. COBDEN responded to
the congratulations of the Parisians at this banquet,
though delivered through the stunting medium of an
unfamiliar language, is not one jot less remarkable for
shrewdness of logic, keenness of argument, condensa-
tion of facts, or felicity of expression, than any one
of those memorable orations uttered by him either in
Covent-garden Theatre or in the Commons House of
Parliament. We-gladly refer our readers to a trans-
lation of that very interesting and remarkable address,
printed at length in other columns of The Sun. In
perusing it, they cannot fail to recognise the acute
and generous mind from which the ideas flowed, and
the benignity of that bosom from which those ideas
received their persuasion.
Mr. COBDEN was evidently conscious throughout
of the importance of the character of his language ;
and though he disclaimed the appellation of a
propagandist, he was aware that he was then
addressing the whole of continental Europe.
He never forgot for a single instant that, according as
his words were selected, the commercial emancipation
of France might be expedited or retarded. In that
harangue he presented to the French reformers a
model for their guidance, by explaining the machinery
and intentions of the League, while in so doing he in-
cidentally vindicated that great association from the
charges of its traducers. And as an encouragement
to the Societe des Libres Echangistes, he pronounced
the following emphatic sentences :

"If you ask me whether the question is settled for ever, I
answer yes ; for in England we never recede one inch in the
path of reform, when every step has been gained by the
force of reason and argument. Besides, we have no man
deserving the name of a statesman who would undertake a
Government founded upon the protective principle. Ido
not speak merely of Sir R. Peel, who has immortalised his
name by the part he took in the emancipation of our com-
merce; or of Lord John Russell, who so nobly supported him ;
but I mean that there is not one member of the late or pre-
sent Ministry who now advocates the principle of protection.
One and all have modestly repudiated, on the part of Go-
vernment, the right of interfering with the freedom of indi-
vidual industry and enterprise."

Any endeavour to epitomise the address of Mr.
COBDEN would only militate against its energy and
persuasiveness—every segment of his oration is in
itself an epitome. We rejoice, for his sake, that
RICHARD COBDEN has been so honoured by France;
and, for her sake, that France has so honoured
RICHARD COBDEN.

On the 6th the POPE convoked a congregation of
Cardinals to consider the propriety of remodelling the
criminal code. It is reported that there will be a
commission of jurisconsults appointed to con 4 ler of
the matter. As a proof of the dislike with which the
Absolutists regard the liberal measures of the POPE,
more particularly the amnesty, we may mention that
the King of NAPLES has prohibited the circulation of
the Diario di Roma in his dominions. This is a
curious sign of the times. The temporal Prince puts
the works of his spiritual superior a l'lndex. The
vassal refuses to receive the rescripts of his Suzerain
and Lord Paramount, as not sufficiently despotic and
tyrannical, and the professed son of the Church re-
jects the ordonnances of its infallible head as
erroneous. The POPE, however, still continues the
beneficent course by •Nhich his reign has hitherto been
SO favourably distinguished. In addition to the
numerous reforms already effected, or in progress,
his Holiness is endeavouring to introduce great
ameliorations in the hospitals, charitable establish-
ments, and convents. He visits these places fre-
quently, and when he is entirely un€xpected, and
insists upon receiving full details of the way in
which they are conducted. He has already made
some of the richest establishments of monks con-
tribute funds towards the re-establishment of an
institution for the reception of repentant prostitutes.

The Swiss Diet has been engaged for several days
in discussions on the question of the convents, but in
taking the votes there was no majority on any point.
The affair may be regarded, therefore, as at an end
for the present.

The committee of the inhabitants of Cologne ap-
pointed to investigate the circumstances attending the
recent riots in that city, have announced that they
will shortly publish their report, which will be a
complete refutation of the statements made in the
Prussian State Gazette, which asserted that the mili-
tary had not been- guilty of any provocation. We
find the following in the German Gazette of Frank-
fort :

" Some time ago a deputy for the provincial diet was
elected here, but the superior authorities refused, on the pre-
text of some informality, but really because he is a member
of the German Catholic Church, to sanction the return. He
has since been re-elected. The president of the district hay-
in announced that be would not be received, as by a Cabinet
order of ➢iay 28th, nomemberof the German Catholic Church
can be a provincial deputy, or even an elector, the electors
oaN e declared that they will not proceed to another election.
It has been resolved to send an address on the subject to the
King of Prussia, and several districts have applied for a copy
of the Cabinet orc:er, with a view to examine its contents and
decide upon the course to be taken."

According to the Cologne Gazette the Austrian
Government is about to raise a new loan to defray the
great expenses to which it has been put by the outbreak
in Galicia, and also to provide funds for the construc-
tion of new railroads. The same journal states that
there is little probability of the Congress of the Cus-

toms' Union coming to a satisfactory understanding
is to the proposed modifications on the tariffs, most
of the delegates having received positive instructions
to insist upon particular points to which their col-
leagues will not agree. The Chamber of Deputies of
Baden have recommended that the representative of
Baden in the Germanic Diet should vote for the in-
tegrity of the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein.
It is said that the spontaneous dissolution of the
Holstein Diet had caused a great sensation in
Denmark, and that the KING had, in consequence,
dispatched a special envoy to Berlin. On this
subject: the Swabian Mercury announces, " that
before the vacation the Germanic Diet will publish
an official notice, calculated to satisfy the public
mind relative to the letter-patent of the King Of
DENMARK."

The Duke of NASSAU is about to be married
to the Grand Duchess CATHERINZ of Russia. The
Grand Duchess, who is nineteen years of age, is the
daughter of the Emperor NICHOLAS, and the sister
of the first wife of the Duke of NASSAU. The fol-
lowing is an extract of a letter, dated Leipsic,
August 11 :

" We understand that a new investigation, of a severe
character, is about to be instituted against the students.
Proofs have been discovered at Dresden of a Burchenschre
(association of students) being in existence at Leipsic. On
the morning of the Bth the police paid domiciliary vists to
three students, opened their desks and seized on papers, which
were forwarded to Dresden. It is said that they discovered
amongst them the rules and regulations of the association.
No person has been imprisoned, but the Minister of Worship I
and Justice is expected to arrive here to-day."

Madrid papers of the 14th instant have arrived.
With the exception of a report that the English
squadron of evolution was expected at Algesiras,
these papers do not contain a single article of. intelli-
gence.
Nothing was doing at the Bolsa.

We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday.
The Chamber of Peers, on Tuesday, elected Count
DARU, Count DE SEGUR, M. DE CAMBACERES, and
General DESPANS DE CAIIIERES as the four secre-
taries of the Chamber for the ensuing session. The
Due DE BROGUE is a member of the Committee ap-
pointed to draw up an answer to the Speech from
the Throne.

The President has fixed Tuesd ncxt for the trial
of HENRI%

The Chamber of DepUties has been engaged in
the verification of the returns. Thirty-three returns
are opposed, viz , twenty-five Ministerial and eight
Opposition. On the subject of the actual amount of
the Ministerial majority in the new Chamber. The
Debats says:—" The number of Deputies in the bureaux
yesterday was 340. Of these, in the nomination
of presidents, 214 were Conservatives and 115 Oppo-
sitionists, 11 votes being lost. According to this
calculation, the Conservatives have a majority of 99.
This number would come near that which we gave
in classing the various fractions of the Chamber after
the elections.

Marshal SOULT still remains in the country, and
lAA of late taken no part in the Government.

Tin Abbe Pz Quovps who has ever since the

Revolution of 1830 denounced all Legitimatists who
took the oath of allegiance to Louis PHILIPPE as
apostates, perjurers, renegades, and traitors, took his
seat as Deputy for Toulouse on Wednesday. There
was a shout of laughter throughout the Chamber as
the pious and consistent Abbe swore audibly to be
faithful to the Charter and to the KING of the FRENCH.

The authorities in Algiers have been interfering
with the liberty of the press. Several articles which
had been put into type in the Courrier d' Afrique
having been cancelled by order of the authori-
ties, the editor of the France Algerienne has
announced that he shall sus pend the publica-
tion of that journal until the Government shall
have granted the liberty of the press in
Algeria, or laid down some fixed regulations for
its conduct. lie announces his intention of
visiting Paris for the purpose of urging zealously,
and by all legal means, the prompt execution of one
of those measures. A meeting of about fifty of the
principal colonists of Algiers has been held, at which
it was resolved to send an address to the KING, and
a petition to the Chambers, praying that the colony
may be placed under the protection of the laws as
they exist in France.

A grand dinner was given on Tuesday to Mr.
COBDEN by the Societe des Econornistes of Paris.
We have given a full report of the proceedings on
this truly important occasion in another column. This
is a great step towards bringing about a truly national,
and therefore lasting, entente cordiale. The entente
cordiale between Governments depending for its
existence solely upon men's inclinations, must be
necessarily precarious, but an entente cordiale be-
tween nations depending upon a permanent
union of their material interests, must be ne-
cessarily lasting, and such a permanent entente
cordiale will be brought about when free trade shall
be universally adopted. Then, and not till then, will
nations cease to be the playthings of diplomatists.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
_ CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 5,000 to
6,000 bales, including 4,500 American at 4d. to 6d. per lb. ;
150 Alaranham at 4%d. to 434 d.; and 800 Surat at 3d. to
33/4d. per lb., with 500 American on speculation. The
market was steady, and prices were well supported. Shares
were quiet.
In Mincing-lane a sensation was produced yesterday after-
noon by the first sale of foreign sugars (imported in a foreign
ship), the produce of the Havannah, which, under the Sugar
Bill, was taken for home consumption. The sugar, 1,204
boxes of white Havannah, fetched 575. 6d. to 58s. 6d. As the
probable future state of the Sugar Market is a topic of con-
siderable discussion at the present moment, we may usefully
quote the following from an accredited authority :
" Without doubting that the tendency of production is to
increase, or wishing to undervalue the authorities that have
made these estimates, we must thus consider them as coming
under the head of prospective statistics,' and, like prophe-
cies, they can neither be affirmed nor contradicted until the
period has passed; and when we recollect that the supply of
sugar is dependent upon seasons, that a thought or a hurri-
cane will disarrange all calculations, and that nothing has
occurred to give a t„eneral or sudden stimulant to production
(as the admission of Foreign is clogged with a heavy differ-
ential duty for the next three years), the importers of foreign
have now the option of two markets, or rather the additional
one of England is open to them, and as a trial of that market
will only involve the risk of port charges to obtain two
classes of buyers, the English consumer and exporter, it must
be expected that a large increased importation of foreign
into the United Kingdom will take place (but a corresponding
decrease will be felt in the Continental ports), and then comes
the question of price, as to which class will become the
buyer, and that again will be materially governed by the
current prices of British Plantation, which must furnish the
principal portion of our consumption ; hence the importers
of British Plantation have the means of forming a tolerably
correct idea as to the point below which foreign cannot
be a competitor; but this must, of course, be re-
ceived as a general argument, for it is not
possible to foretel how prices will settle down, as
the various under-currents that so frequently exist in a
market influence prices, above or below their natural level,
arising from the opinions formed by sellers and buyers as
the aspect of the market of the day presents itself. We do
not expect any sudden or large increase, as the consumer
will not feel it as he did last year, when the duties were
reduced, and the consumption increased from 207,000 tons to
245,000 tons."

The private letters received from China are of a much more
satisfactory character than those made public by the ordi-
nary mode of imparting information, i. e., the press of India
and the Hong-Kong journals.
There have not been •any late colonial arrivals announced
to-day.
Consols for the Account have been called heavy to-day at
95%, and 951,4 % for Money. A considerable improve-
ment has taken, place in Exchequer-bills, which are
now at 14s. premium. Bank Stock has fluctuated from 208
to 209, and the Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are at 98.
The quotation of Mexican Bonds has improved to 23 for
the Account; for Money the price is 221,4. Buenos Ayres
Stock is at 39. Spanish at 254 ; and the Dutch Two-and-
a-Half per Cents. at
The Railway Shares are very fiat to-day. There is an
increasing demand for the East Indian Scrip.
