The Sun.
London, England, 1844-11-13 00:00:00

We have also to complain of this journal for occa-
sionally misrepresenting, and willingly too, state-
ments which appear in The Sun. But the other day
we published a paragraph from the Bombay Courier,
announcing, with some bitterness, that a French ves-

sel of war had fired upon the Samarang, an English
merchant vessel. The offensive remarks are imputed
to The Sun, while we distinctly gave our authority—
namely the Bombay Courier.
Of a piece with the attack on Sir ROBERT WILSON
is the following, made by the National on Mr. FETHER-

siormauGH, the new British Consul at Havre :
" Not only are we ill informed in France of what
passes abroad, but we are often unacquainted with facts
that concern us at home. It is thus that no one has re-
marked a recent appointment at Havre. The choice of
Lord Aberdeen is, however, very significatory, and if M.
Guizot was not the organ of English interests in the
Cabinet, he ought, without doubt, have refused the

exeqztator to the person just sent us by our neighbours.
M. Fetherstonhaugh is nothing more or less than the
worthy rival of that Turnbull who is so well remem-
bered at Cuba. He has been placed at Havre only to
watch our commerce, and to seek, in the outfit of our
ships, some indications which may justify a visit of the
right of search to our shipping. Has not this gentleman
many claims on the abolitionist society of London ? Is
he not author of a journey among the slave holding states
of America ? The installation of Mr. Featherstonhaugh
at Havre is easily accounted for. There our coasts are
watched from Breit to Bayonne, by agents more or less
recommended to the French Government.'

A good deal of business was done at TORTONI.S on
Sunday, in consequence of the announcement in the
lifoniteur respecting the loan. The Three per Cents,
were done at 82f. 55c. to 82f. 65c. for the next settle-

ment, and for the end of December 83f. 50c. was asked,

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.—The following late intelli-
gence was received here this morning :—" Lima,
August 19.—Vivanca has been defeated, and having
been brought prisoner to this city, was banished to
Mexico by the Constitutional Council which governs
the city. General Castello has taken possession of
Arequipa, and is now advancing upon this city. It
is supposed that the Council will not oppose his au-
thority here."
INCENDIARISAI AT ST. NEOTS.—The inhabitants
of St. Neots were greatly alarmed by the sight of a
fire at the back of the Cross Keys Inn, in the occu-
pation of Mrs. Arnold. The vile hand chose a
wheat -cock for his base purpose, which was quickly
one mass of flame, and was soon consumed.
Another, containing fifty loads of wheat, caught
fire, but through the exertions of the neighbours, and
the good feeling evinced by the lower classes, part
was saved, a smart rain continuing all the time. The
St. Neots engine, although not 200 yards from
the conflagration, was not at work for half an hour
after the event, the key of the engine-house not
being obtained. Mrs. A. has the same labourers em-
ployed as at all times, having made no change, nor has
she for thirty years used a thrashing-machine ; there-
fore no clue at present can be obtained to the perpetrator
of so diabolical an act. The best of order and good
feeling was shown by every one present, as the whole
town was in danger from the position' of the wind and
situat4on of the premises. We are happy to announce
that Mrs. A. is insured in the Norwich Union.—Cam-
bridge Chronicle.
We are sorry to have to announce the death of Mr.
Wm. Grieve, of Drury-lane Theatre, whose talents as
a pai rater of the highest rank have, on so many occasions,
been appreciated by the public. He died yesterday.
A more upright man never lived. He has left a widow
and s everal children.
M,anday the Lord Chancellor honoured the Ho-
n9ura:;ble Society of Sergeant's Inn with his company at
dinniir, upon the occasion of Mr. Erie's promotion to
the bench. The new judge will in a few days be enter-
tained at the Clarendon by the members of the Western
Circuit.

BETTER PROSPECTS FOR AGRICULTURISTS.—There
have been fewer sales of stock and crop in South Wales
this season than have taken place during any season for
marry years past. Of the truth of this we have been
assured by solicitors, auctioneers, land-agents, and many
others. This, it is said, is a sure proof of a degree of
incren sing prosperity among farmers, and holds out bet-
ter ;prospects for the future.—Welshman.
1.:B1 1W VALE AND SIRHOWY IRON Wona.s.—The
fact is gratifying, that the proprietors of this valuable
esta'blishment are carrying on the works with great spi-
rit, and that the high character of the make is obtaining
large orders. We understand that they have got " the
lion's share" in the contract for the London and Atmo-
spheric• Railway.—Cambrian.
Thei example set by Sir Harry Verney, in allowing
his tenants to shoot over their respedive farms, is the
theme of conversation in all companies. The farmers'
tables :ring with praises to Sir Harry. None rejoice
more than the Duke of Buckingham's tenants, because
none are• greater sufferers than they are, from the de-
struction, they yearly witness and feel done themselves
by the enormous abundance of game. No person unac•
quaint ed with a nobleman's preserves can form any idea
of the injury hares and partridges do the whole country.

was so ignorant that he could not read in an intelli-
gible way, and one of the spectators was selected to
perform that duty. The prisoners were all absent
during these proceedings. After some deliberation
the President announced that the Court did no con-
sider it had got sufficient evidence, and further proofs
must be produced.
The following account of a fresh execution at Bar-
celona appears in the Verdad of the sth :
" This morning Antonio Sanjust suffered capital
punishment in the glacis of the citadel for a crime com-
mitted last year at the time of the Centralist revolution.
The military force was in full uniform, as well as the
bloody brotherhood.' The greatest eclat was given to
' the execution." The Impartial of the same date says :
—" Antonio Sanjust was the son of the unfortunate
General of that name who fell at Malaga, in a public
tumult. His grandfather fell in the same manner."
The report that General EspAarEuo had left Lon-
don for Spain had caused some uneasiness to the Go-
vernment, and orders had been dispatched to all the
authorities, both on the land and sea frontier, to use
every exertion to prevent his entering the country.

A royal ordinance was published in the Paris
Moniteur of Sunday, authorising the Minister of
Finance to complete a loan of 200,000,000 francs by
public competition. The sale and adjudication will
take place on Monday, the 9th of December, on
sealed tenders, and in one lot, to the highest bidder.
The payment is to be effected in monthly sums of
ten millions each, the first to be paid on the 23d De-
cember, 1844, and the last on the 7th of August,
1846. The ordinance and the conditions are given
at length in another part of The Sun, under the
proper head.
" A sum of 300 millions (says theMoniteur) remained
to be issued of the loan placed at the disposition of
Government by the law of June 25, 1841 ; but the
abundant resources of the Treasury do not permit to
require more than two-thirds of the said sum, and
the remaining one-third is to be applied to reduce a
portion of the floating debt arising out of the receipts
of the savings' banks. A law regulating the appli-
cation of the saki one-third shall be proposed to the
Chambers in the ensuing session." The same official
journal contains another royal ordinance, appropri-
ating 1,800,000 f. (72,0000 for the construction of
an atmospheric railroad from Nanterre to the plain of
St. Germains.
The following deliberate falsehoods respecting the
Governor of Gibraltar, Sir ROBERT WILSON, appear
in M. TRIERS' paper, the Constitutionnel : —What
justice can Englishmen expect from French Opposi-
tion journals, when we find a journal, representing
the political sentiments of an ex-Prime Minister,
thus publishing such mischievous and unfounded
statements ?

" There is at Gibraltar a Governor generally known
as a turbulent man, and above all, an enemy of the
French, and whom a Ministry which sincerely wished to
avoid anything that could annoy France, and to practise
conscientiously the entente cordiale, would certainly have
recalled from the commencement of our war with Mo-
rocco. Nothing of the kind has taken place. The
British Cabinet has maintained its agent, and if no con-
flict has taken place owing to the meeting of the officers
of our navy with those of the British navy at Gibraltar,
it is certainly not Sir Robert Wilson we have to thank
for it. All those who were in the Morocco expedition
know that our naval men had mach to complain of with
respect to the conduct of certain English officers, and es-
pecially that of the Governor. More than that, it is
a certain fact, and now generally known, that at
Gibraltar one day, during the expedition to Morocco, Sir
Robert did not hesitate to say to the Prince of Join-
ville, before a number of witnesses, that a -general war
was necessary, in order that every party might get out of
the false position in which it was at present placed. He
had even the courage to enlarge upon and develope that
text. Is not this singular language from the mouth of
the agent of a friendly country ? War is spoken of to
the Prince representing France, in the same tone that
would be taken in congratulating him on the good intel-
ligence between the two countries, and its importance in
the cause of the civilisation of the world.. So public an
incivility certainly reached the ears of the British Ca-
binet. But has Sir Robert Wilson been removed ? By
no means. has our Minister demanded his recal ? It is
not at all probable, and we would rather believe that our
Ministry has not dared to make the demand, than to
suppose that Lord Aberdeen has not paid any attention
to it. The King has been greatly welcomed, and
harangued at Windsor, but the good wishes of the
British Cabinet for the King, do not go the length of
recalling an officer who pronounced uncivil words before
his son. It was the guns of the same Sir Robert Wilson
which lately sank the Spanish vessel the Rayo, and
although M. Martinez de la Rosa has declared that he
expected satisfaction for that savage act, be assured,
that the satisfaction if it ever be accorded, shall not be
accompanied by the recal of the Governor of Gibraltar.'
