his protest against the atrocious system, and his
prayer for its abolition, viz.:—

the happiness and prosperity of Ireland, but would
stabilitate to an eminent degree the happiness, the
prosperity, the security, the tranquility, and the more
extended civilisation of the millions who are bound
together in allegiance to the sceptre of VICTORIA.
Not only is this comprehensive and liberal reform
demanded in justice, not only are we called upon to
make such a reparation for wrongs heaped upon a
confiding and deluded race ever since the act of
legislative union passed by the Imperial Parliament at
the commencement of the present century—but our
own self-interest, our own aggrandizement, our own
peace of mind, plead for the alteration in voices that
cannot brook a denial.

A similar rumour was current on the same day at
Rouen. It is generally considered that these
rumours, which produced most disastrous effects en
the markets, originated in persons connected with the
Bourse, who had some stockjobbing purposes to serve
by their propagation.

- "The jury do say that Frederick John White died on the
11th of July, 1846, from the mortal effects of the severe and
cruel flogging which he received on the 15th day of June,
in the Cavalry Barracks, Hounslow; that the same
flogging was inflicted on him under sentence passed
by a district court-martial composed of officers
of the Regiment of the 7th Hussars, and duly constituted for
the trial of the said Frederick John White, &c. And on
returning the verdict, the jury cannot refrain from expressing
their horror and disgust at any law among the statutes or
regulations of this realm which permits the revolting punish-
ment of flogging to be inflicted on British soldiers ; and
at the same time the jury would call upon every man in this
kingdom to join heart and hand in sending petitions to the
British Legislature praying for the abolition of every law
and regulation which permits the degrading practice of
flogging to remain one moment a slur on the humanity ani
[ fair name of the people of this country."
The jury manifestly could not have returned
verdict inculpating any of the military authorities.
The law itself which sanctions the frightful barbarit3
I is the target against which the weapon must be
directed. Everything was done strictly according to
rule and to precedent. The court-martial was
regularly constituted, although it is certainly rather a
curious circumstance that, being'a district court-mar-
tial, every single member of it belonged to the same
regiment as the prisoner himself, and it might as well
have been called a regimental court-martial, but
for one little point of difference, viz., that by being
dignified, with the title of " district," although
really " regimental," they were enabled to order
the infliction of fifty lashes more than would
otherwise have been within their power
to adjudge; a privilege of which they availed them-
selves to the utmost extent, and which the merciful
Colonel WHYTE took care should be most punctually
inflicted without curtailment or diminution. The un-
fortunate man pleaded guilty to the charges on which
I he was arraigned before this court, he attempted not
to deny his offence, but he put in a
respectful and manly letter, written in a
style far beyond that which could have been
expected from a private soldier, and which, as well as
the letter to his brother, bears the clearest testimony
that his education and habits of life belonged to a
class far beyond that in which his wretched career
was brought to a premature termination. This at-
tempted extenuation, although we venture to say that
it would not have been lost on any of our
venerable Judges, was wholly without effect
on his judges, who forthwith sentenced him
to the very highest punishment within their power,
and added to their finding a clause wholly unneces-
sary, and we believe unusual—one which must have
had the effect of preventing any exercise of mercy on
the part of the Commander-in• Chief—we mean that
part which speaks of the conduct of the unhappy man,
in these words :—" And taking into consideration his
general bad character, particularly towards
his superiors, does now sentence him," &c., &c.
We know not what may have been the evidence laid
before the court to warrant this addition to their
verdict, but it is most undoubtedly at variance with
that which was adduced before the Coroner's inquest.
Sergeant DARLEY himself, the person who had been
assaulted by WRITE, gave his opinion that " he was
a man that knew himself very well, and in fact, a
superior and respectable man, by no means an habi-
tual drunkard." Now, if this evidence be correct, and
we see no reason to doubt its being so to the fullest
extent--indeed, it was corroborated by that of all
the other witnesses who were interrogated on the
point, we think it is due to the surviving relatives
of the victim—nay, more, we think it due to the
characters of the officers who constituted that court-
martial—that the grounds which led to that clause in
their finding should be fully stated and set forth.
The letter of poor, unhappy, heart-broken WrnTE
to his brother, written ten days after the flogging,
shows that his mind was more lacerated than his
body ; it testifies the existence of that
.wretched, de-
sponding, spiritless state which almost every writer
has stated to be the result of corporal punishment,
leading to the adoption of habits of intoxication
lnd recklessness, the total abandonment of every
hope—nay, of every desire for advancement in the
service ; it speaks trumpet-tongued against a system
which could induce such a state of feeling. The most
eloquent and powerful denouncer of the practice
could not write with half the effect which is pro-
duced by the few simple sentences of the
lashed soldier speaking unconsciously of the sensa-
tion his confidential communication to his brother
was likely to produce at a future period ;
he says, " I am very unwell, and feel disgusted with
the service, but you need not tell mother so, for she
would only fret." Again : " I had formed a reso-
lution to commit mischief, but, thank GOD, I have
for the present altered my mind. I have not that con-
fidence in myself I used to have. My star of destiny
frowns at me, and everything goes wrong.
Your letters give me a consolation generally,
but I cannot venture to read them always,
for I am very near approaching to LUNACY at times.
I am an old man now to what I was, and what a few
more years will make me I am afraid to guess it.
Poor creature ! a few short days had indeed prcduced
a fearful change in his feelings and prospects, and the
pouring forth of his heart necessarily recorded the
-gloomy forebodings which he must have felt.
The want of interest, that hopelessness of feeling which
nothing can for a moment excite or banish, is well
expressed in the following :—" I have not seen Lon-
don yet, nor shall I, unless I change my mind. Every
one there is lost to me now." Again : " I hope you
will keep quiet to mother that I am ill, for her sake.
You must excuse my faults, and forgive my failings,
for I cannot help them ;fate wills my proceedings, and I
must go with the tide. My paper is short, and I
must cut short my tale of woe, and resume my most
horrid and wretched duty of a soldier." Poor fellow 1
his sufferings, both of mind and body, have been,
indeed, most frightful; but few, by their deaths, .
will have achieved so great a benefit to
thousands. It cannot be doubted but that
the appeal of the jury will be fully re-
sponded to ; neither can there be a doubt of
the happy issue of the agitation and petitions there
indicated; but we sincerely trust that the public will
riot restrict themselves to its abolition in the army.
Let our naval brethren also have the benefit of their
exertions—their prayers ; and let not the unfortunate
JAMES SAYER be forgotten, who now pines in anguish,
awaiting the infliction of his sentence of death,
death certainly in a milder form—the more humane
naval court-martial having merely ordered him to be
hanged for striking his sergeant, by which his suffer-
ings will be more speedily terminated than if he were
sentenced to the lingering and painful, intensely pain-
ful, death under the still more degrading lash.

The Chancellor of France has convened the Cham-
ber of Peers for Friday, the 7th August, to take the
necessary preliminary steps to forming itself into a
Court for the trial of HENRY.

NertP since the revolt of the Roman Plebeians did
the ancient fable of the body and its members afford
such an analogous application to the government of a
country than at this juncture, and in reference to
Ireland. What was applied to the illustration of the
necessity of unanimity among the various classes in
the eternal city might, with a similar appositeness,
be applied to the illustration of the necessity for the
unanimity, among the various divisions of the British
dominions, the limbs of the British empire. Without
a cordial reciprocity between those limbs, without the
most impartial regard to the moral and corporeal health
of all, the entire constitution cannot avoid falling
into a lamentable state of disorganization. The func-
tions would become deranged, and either an unnatural
sluggishness, or an unnatural excitement, be the con-
sequence. To the source of the vitality and the
seat of the presiding sentience of the con-
stitution—in other words, to the Parliamentary
and Government officers we look for the removal of
whatever maladies have already appeared, and for the
accurate adjustment of all differences. Ireland still
continues to be the great Ministerial difficulty,
but under the guidance of an enlightened policy.
and impelled forward by the accordance of
popular opinion, we are sanguine that this great diffi-
culty is now on the eve of being definitely and per-
manently vanquished.

HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—
We understand that it is the intention of her Majesty
to honour the performances of the Brussels operatic
company, at Drury-lane Theatre, with her presence this
evening.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Earl of SUFFOLK, and
the Bishop of Dunaux.)
BOWEN V. EVANS AND OTHERS.

The further arguments in this part-heard appeal from the
decree of Sir Edward Sugden, the late Lord Chancellor of
Ireland, occupied their Lordships the whole day. The case
has already taken up several days in argument, and appears
likely to last a day or two more.

SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BuacHELL.)
PARKER V. SPELLER.

This was an action brought to recover the sum of 11/. 03. 6d.,
for work done by the plaintiff as a surveyor.
It appeared by the evidence that the defendant had entered
into a contract to build a crescent at Westbourne-green,
and the plaintiff was engaged to draw out the plans, but it
was alleged that Mr. Wood, who was the owner of the land,
had promised to make a present of the plans, but after
some time, defendant finding himself unable to carry
out the speculation, he forfeited 2001., and gave it
up, and he now denied having employed the plaintiff. Mr.
Woad, however, positively swore that he introduced the
parties, and after the action was brought he told defendant
that he thought him very foolish to go on, as his (witness's)
evidence would put him out of Court, and defendant replied
that he had told his attorney to stop the proceedings; but
they said the greater part of the costs had been incurred, and
they would go on on their own responsibility.
The UNDER-SHERIFF said, that if they believed Mr.
Wood the case was clearly made out.
The jury found for the plaintiff for the amount claimed.

Thanks to Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD, we are
enabled to form some estimate of the intentions of
the present Administration with reference to Ireland.
In answer to the inquiries of the Hon. Member
for Rochdale, Lord JOHN RUSSELL has revealed the
resolutions on this most important subject at which
he has arrived, after mature deliberation. Con-
sidering the miseries which will transpire meanwhile,
through the postponement of any Parliamentary
measure for the protection of the interests
of the Irish tenantry, we are deeply
grieved to find that the Premier objects to the intro-
duction of some temporary measures; but we are re-
joiced at the delay, considering the yet greater evils
which might possibly arise from the precipitate adop-
tion of any assuaging enactments.

" Why fly front ills we hare,
To others we know not of ?"
Nevertheless, for our solace during this requisite in-
terval, the Prime Minister has pledged himself to in-
troduce a Bill relating to the landlord and tenant
interests of Ireland "at the very commencement of
the next session." And, according to the announce-
ment of Mr. LABOUCHERE, it was likewise the inten-
tion of her MAJESTY'S Ministers to struggle for the
adoption of six other Bills, relating to the exclusive
privilege of trading, to the rating of property, to
ejectments, fisheries, district lunatic asylums, and the
encouragement of public baths and washhouses in
Ireland. Nothing, of course, can be expected in the
miserable remnant (of scarcely three weeks) which
yet remains of the eventful session of 1846. With
such a programme, however, as the foregoing, we
may safely anticipate the arrival of brighter days fur
Ireland, and the prevention of all further squabbles
among the adherents of her veteran Liberator.

The King of the Two SICILIES, accompanied by the
Royal Family and a numerous suite, and guarded by
a squadron of eleven ships-of- war, arrived at Palermo
on the morning of the 11th ult., to be present at the
fete of St. Rosalie. His MAJESTY, following the ex-
ample of the PoPE, has dissolved the Military Com-
mission for the trial of State prisoners.

The Assembly of States of Holstein, in their sit-
ting of the 24th of July, adopted by a majority of 44
to 2 an address to the King of DENMARK protesting
against his letter patent of the Bth July on the sub-
ject of the succession to the Throne. The Govern-
ment, in opening the States, forbade them to receive
petitions on this subject, and the States also protest
against this interference with the right of petition.
Letters from Vienna of the 20th of July state that
the Austrian Government intends forming a line of
railway from Milan through the Tyrol to the
Danube, which will be continued across the valleys
of the Etch and the Inn, and will terminate at
Braunau. This will give the advantage of
railway communication to the three principal
towns of the Tyrol—Trent, Botzen, and Innspruck.

North British

Madrid papers of the 28th ult. have been received.
The .co del Comercio of the preceding day had
been seized by the authorities.

According to the _Herald°, IBRAHIM PACUA was
expected to visit Malaga. The Governor of Gibraltar
and his suite paid a visit to Ceuta on the 17th.
There was a report in Madrid that, in conse-
quence of the representations of the Portuguese
Government, GONZALES BRAVO had been recalled
from Lisbon.

MADRID BOLSA, JULY 28.—The Three per Cents. 34 341,

We have received the Paris papers of Sunday.
They are filled with the details of the preliminary
operations of the elections, such as the choosing scru-
tineers, assessors, &c., which took place on Saturday.
The elections took place on Sunday, and, as far as can
be hitherto ascertained, the result has been favourable
to the Ministry.

The Opposition made strenuous efforts to carry the
first electoral college in Paris. Their candidate was
General LAMORICIERE, whose successes in Algiers
have rendered him exceedingly popular. He is about to
be connected by marriage with the family of M. THIERS ;
and M. ODILLON BARROT published an address to
the electors, strongly recommending them to choose
General LAMORICIERE. Notwithstanding all the
influence thus used notwithstanding the pres-
tige attached to his name, General LA-
MORICIERE has been defeated by M. CASI-
MIR PERIER, the Ministerial candidate. In
Paris the Ministers have gained one seat from the Op-
position, and in the country, as far as the results are
known, they have been equally successful. M.
GRAS DE NEVILLE, the Father of the Chamber,
a Legitimist has been ousted at Tarrascon by M.
GASPARIN, a Ministerialist. At Nismes, M. BICHARD,
a Legitimist, is replaced by General FEUCILERES, a
Ministerialist. Both these are Ministerial gains.
The Ministry gains two votes at Toulouse. In
the third college of that city a Ministerialist
replaces an opposition Deputy without a contest, and
the first college the mayor of the town, a Minis-
terialist, has beat M. JOLT, one of the leaders of the
Republican party, who was the former Deputy. At
Cherbourg, General MESLIN, a Ministerialist, replaces
the old Opposition Deputy, and in the third college of
Lille a Ministerialist has gained the seat, which for
merly belonged to the Opposition. The Ministers also
gain a vote at Douay and another at Dieppe, while at
Orsen, M. SALVANDY, the Minister of Public Instruc-
tion, has defeated M.D upois T DE L'EURE, the celebrated
Opposition leader. The results of 74 elections were
known in Paris when the latest accounts left. In
these elections the Ministerial gain has been nine
seats. Ministerialists have replaced Opposition De-
puties in ten instances, while in one instance only (at
Rouen) has an Opposition candidate ousted the former
Ministerial Member. The re-elections have been 36
Ministerialists and 27 Deputies of the Opposition.
On Saturday considerable alarm was created in
Paris by rumours of the death of the lima. Accord-
ing to one account his MAJESTY had had a fit of
apoplexy ; according to another he had been fired at
and wounded, and the Due D'AUMALE had been
killed at his side. A delay in the publica-
tion of the Ministerial evening paper, the
Messager, contributed to increase the excite-
ment, as it was considered confirmatory of the
truth of the rumours. At length, however, it ap-
peared, and contained the following telegraphic dis-
patch, for the arrival of which it bad probably been
delayed :—" A telegraphic dispatch from Eu, dated
this day, half-past two o'clock, announces that the KING
was in perfect health. His MAJESTY expected the visit
of the Prince Royal of BAYASIA at three o'clticic.'

Government has explicitly divulged its intentions
with reference to Irish legislation. We are sincerely
rejoiced at this circumstance, as the explanation of
the Premier and the Secretary for Ireland will be
productive of very considerable advantage to the
population of these islands. It will alleviate that
hope deferred which maketh the heart sick among our
fellow-countrymen across St. George's Channel ; it
will allay a thousand anxieties in their regard
among the other inhabitants of Great Britain, and it
will impart stability to the new Administration on a
matter with which the popularity of the Cabinet is
most inextricably associated. If one sentiment is
at this moment more prevalent than another
throughout this empire, it is a sentiment of
cordial sympathy with Irish sufferings, a
sentiment of honest indignation at her protracted
misrule, a sentiment of earnest anxiety to co- operate
with her leading patriots in the adjustment of her
embarrassments and in the organisation of her social
and political machinery. That some concessions were
requisite in reference to this integral portion of the
British dominions has long been
clr his accession
The de-
claration made by Sir R. p
aeeiffssiicounittyo
ffi oce, that Ireland would prove his greatest difficulty
the precipitation of the free-trade measures in eon'
sequence of the potato famine of November and De-
cember, the pertinacity of the repeal cry, the cala-
mitous and wholesale ejectments of tenantry, the
paroxysms of commercial apathy and commercial
excitement which have alternated with such alarm-
in 0-rapidity in that community—have all demonstrated
the existence of more than oi,e monster grievance,
and have clamoured loudly and imperatively for the
amelioration of Hibernian distress. Anything that
would tend to consolidate the vigour of our sister
island, that would insure the happiness of her chil-
dren, that would promote mercantile and agricultural
activity among her unemployed labourers, and render
them satisfied of the sincere good-will and fraternal
,affection of England, would not merely oonduce to

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, AUG CST 4, 1846.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
__ _

The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was active,
the principal sales being to the trade. Sales, about 10,000
bales.—Shares were steady.
So serious have been the losses sustained by the market
gardeners and florists by the late storm, that, without some
extraneous aid, hundreds of industrious, and in their pro-
fession, able men, must be consigned to ruin. Not only have
a large number of the parties so situated lost glass, but their
valuable plants have, in the great majority of in-
stances, been entirely destroyed. A number of influential
persons in the southern parts of London (where the storm
proved most disastrous) have taken the subject up, and a
meeting has been convened to consider the best course to be
pursued to relieve the sufferers, which is appointed to be held
this evening at the Swan Hotel, at Stockwell.
There has been some attention directed in theßankers'Aliaga-
aiiie to the convenience of bankers' drafts as substitutes for
Post-office orders. Jealous, and not, perhaps, without reason, of
the extraordinary increase in the amount of Post-office orders
granted, the private bankers have been, in some cases, turn-
ing their attention to the matter with a view to ascertain if
they cannot participate in the profits. At best, however,
the public could never by such means possess a e same faci-
lities as under the almost universal system brought to bear
under the peculiar agency of the Post-office. For particular
localities, however, and for amounts above those which the
Post-office will grant in one order, no doubt the provincial
bankers can make themselves very useful, and perhaps at
the same time enhance their their own profits a little. It is
suggested that a party wishing to send 15/. 2s. 6d. from
Derby to Beccles, might be accommcdated in the subjoined
form, which could be used as a remittance by the Beccles
ba,k to Glyn and Co., who would fill up the draught :
" No. "Derby, July 18, 1846.
"Messrs. Smith, Payne and Smith, London."
' Gentlemen,—Please to credit Messrs. Glyn and Co. with
fifteen pounds two shillings and sixpence, which charge to
account of your obedient servants,
" £l5 2s. 6d. " W. and S. EVANS.
(Crossed) " Messrs. Lacon and Co., Beccles."
" London, July 23, 1846.
" Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Smith.
" Pay bearer fifteen pounds two shillings and sixpence. as
per credit from Evans and Co.
" .£l5 2s. 6d. " GLYN and CO."
The charge of % per cent, for the letter, and % for castling,
the credit would, it is said, be sufficient remuneration to the
banker, and to their customers no charge need be made.
The Stock Market, although rather dull, continues very
firm, and the only security which at present exhibits any
weakness is Exchequer-bills, the premium being down to lls.
and is. Money is in some request, but the main cause of the
decline is the better rate of interest obtainable from other in-
vestments. Consols for present transfer have realised 95%
to 96. I'he New Three-and a-Quarter per Cents. have been
98 to %, and the Three per Cents. 96% to Ih. Bank Stock
is 20834.
The Foreign Bonds are very dull, but Spanish Three per
Cents. are up to 36%. The Five per Cents. have been at
26%. Portuguese Four per Cents. were 45 to 46, being ra-
ther firmer. Brazil Stock is at 90.
