BURGESS'S NEW SAUCE, for general pur-
poses, haying gained such great approbation, and the demand
for it continuing to increase, .JOAN BURGESS and SON beg most
respec•fully to etTer thus their best acknowledgments to the. ruble

tion. It is prepared by them only ; and for preventing disappoint-
ment to families, all possible care has been resorted to, by each
bottle being scaled on the cork with their Arm and address, as well
as each label having their signature, without which it cannot be
genuine.

THE FRENCH IN AFRICA.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

ALGIERS, JULY 3.—Messieurs the administrators of
the Berlines Postes inform you that there is just five
days' journey from the Paris in Europe to the Paris in
Africa. What, then, ought to be your sensations in
stepping from the Marseilles steamer upon the terra
firma of the Paris in Africa ? Nothing very particular.
You see yourself in a French town, and that's all. On
arriving at the Place Royale, the only object which
shakes your faith in the French town is a large mosque,
which forms a very striking and novel feature in the
ensemble of the Place. You must then picture to your-
self a tolerably-sized square, open on on one side to the
sea, where you look over the Mole and the harbour,
and a hundred merchant ships and half-a-dozen steamers,
and filled up on the other sides with hotels, and shops,
and cafes, of four and five stories high, with an espla-
nude or parade, lined on two paths with growing-up
orange-trees, and you have the Place Royale. There
is another square as you advance upon the hill of houses,
where a market is held in the centre, having a fountain,
which is also enclosed by cafes and shops. There are
two widish streets, Baba-Azours and Baba-Ouled, run-
ning east and west, which communicate directly with
the Place Royale. These streets are lined with hotels,
cafes, and shops, teeming with French goods as cheap as
in any town of France. There is scarcely a street where
building up and pulling down is not going on. Govern-
ment is also building barracks for soldiers on the top
of the city, and churches of all sorts and sizes in diffe-
rent parts of the city for the worship of every religion
under the sun. In the narrow streets of the city—
' which are as narrow, tortuous, and dark as Moorish
streets can be—there are several very strong and hand-
some houses built and being built,. In fact the rage and
anxiety to make Paris in Africa deserve its name is be-
yond all conception, and many millions of francs must
have been spent by private individuals._,_Thuu lona ha.
mense faubourg (Mustapha) springing into life all along
the eastern coast, like a Yankee city of the far west.
There are at least some 50 carriage-omnibuses running
to this and every other part of the environs. I must
not forget also that the Government, to please the
Moors, have, besides repairing their mosques, built them
two or three handsome bazaars in their moresgue fashion.
The bustle and confusion in this African Paris is be-
yond description. It is like a great hotel, or an Africo-
European bazaar. A fellow traveller of mine could not
think of anything else to compare it to but Epsom races.
Of course, as French, Spaniards, Maltese, Arabs, Moors,
and Barbary Jews, constitute nearly the whole popula-
tion, the variety of their costumes has a very droll, if
not pleasing effect. The more respectable natives, the
Mussulmans I mean, whose calm and retired habits
feel offended at this Epsom races bustle from morning
to night, retire within their houses, and are rarely
seen in the European part of the town. A great
many of the lower classes, however, are everywhere
seen ; and little Moorish shoe-blacks follow you to black
your shoes in French style. The number of cafes and
restaurants are totally beyond calculation. Added to
this, as the crown of French civilisation in Africa, you
must listen to with amorous delight, and coquette the
singing girls of the musical soirees and cafes. It was
mentioned the other evening', as an astounding proof of
the progress of civilisation in the interior, that Italian
music and singing were to be heard at Blidals, a town
about eight leagues from this.
Everybody seems to live at the cafes or restaurants.
Very small houses are inhabited by half-a-dozen families,
that is, of Europeans ; for house-rent is exceedingly dear.
I don't know whether you will be able to form any con-
ception of Paris in Africa from this lame description.
I should add, however, that Algiers is essentially a gar-
rison town, and is full of the military. It must not, also,
be forgotten that the Dec d'Orleans had a portion of the
suburbs on the west devoted to a Jardin des Plantes,
which is open every Sunday to the public. I only men-
tion more, that very formidable fortifications are being
constructed on the heights.: the Mole is gradually being
enlarged, and everything wears the appearance of the
determination of the French to retain their Algerian.
conquest. We must not, nevertheless, disguise the fact
that French civiliation, as abOve set forth, goes more
than any other system of living—if I may so say--
against the grain of the Moors. They flee it—it hurts,
it shocks ahem.: the noise, the bustle, the cafes, the
singing women, the women running everywhere and
doing everything—the shops, the pictures, nay, the Ro-
manCatholi3 worship, the cross, the images, the proces-
sions (for processions have begun here): all these, and
ten thousand other things, exasperate the very soul of
the Moor, and he shrinks back into the retirement of
his secluded home, and tries to dream that the French
have never touched the soil of Algeria. It is because
the French have been carrying on a desperate war in
this country for the last 14 years, and hare driven away
the peaceful objects of commerce from a soil stained
with blood unrighteously spilt, they turn round upon us
and bully us because the Arabs of the interior prefer to
go and buy goods from Morocco and Tunis in safety ;
but which goods, it turns out, come chiefly from Eng-
land. This is the way in which we rob our neighbours
of their natural and legitimate rights. As to the Arabs
themselves they are free agents, and we have no control
over them one way or the other. Surely, they may be
permitted to choose the best market for themselves.
But there seems to be something like fatality in this
frustration of France's " natural and legitimate benefits."
Not satisfied with driving away the commerce from the
soil of Algeria by a cruel war, the French were deter-
mined to give it the coup de grace by fiscal regulations.
" Are not the ports of Oran, Algiers, Philippeville, and
Bona open ?" cries Monsieur the member of the Scien-
tific Commission. " No," I answer : " you have effec-
tually and hermetically sealed them by the late law of
the customs of Algiers." The Arabs dislike a dear
article as much as war ; •and certain it is, that there is
not the remotest prospect of reviving the trade
with the inhabitants of the interior or of the
south whilst the new tariff of customs is in
force. The Algerine Sahara will now, indeed, more
than ever pursue its relations with Tunis in the cast
and Morocco in the west, for the supply of its European
manufactures. No razias, no war, no earthly power, will
turn an Arab from a route which leads him to a cheap
market. I mentioned, however, in my last, that the
tariff had begun so perniciously that it was_ likely to un-
dergo important modifications. The fact of the matter
is that tariff was made against England to keep
out her manufactures; but it .has, and ever will, prove
a failure. English manufactures cannot be kept from
the Arabs of the Sahara arid the mountains of
Northern Africa; for, if France prohibits their entry
direct into Algeria, they will find their passage side-
ways—" pas des voles laterales"— as M. Carette says
from the south. The sooner, therefore,

Whilst writing about the commerce of the country, it
may be as well to mention, that the export of native
productions amounts to absolutely nothing. All that is•

hands of the Jews, and so made smaller and worse by
that. _ _

mom THE EVENING PAPERS OP YESTERDAP.

! GLOBE.—" I repeat it again," said Sir Robert Peel
I la,t night—and indeed he does repeat it, at least as often
as modesty tolerates—" I repeat it again, that we have
done more, without destroying any existing interests,
though they were frightened at first—we have done
mere for the relaxation of commerce, and contri-
buted more to the restoration of commercial pros-
perity, than any Government that has preceded us."
Now, in every point of view, it appears to us Minis-
ters made an exceedingly bad beginning. In the first
place, so far from contributing to the restoration of
commercial prosperity, we affirm that nothing could
possibly have so much retarded it, as the extreme de-
gree of distrust they created 13?,- their unexpected unset-
tling of favoured interests. Phis is what Sir Robert
Peel euphemises as frightening existing interests at first.
May we ask, how it came to be Sir R. Peel's part to
frighten existing interests? Frightened them he had,
to his heart's content, at the measures of his opponents.
Taken his stand he had, to all human appearance and
understanding, and so had that slippery corn and cur-
rency convert, Sir James Graham, on the Bill, the
whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill—of 1828. Ever
since the Agricultural Committee of 1836, at which
epoch the Whig leaders in the Commons evinced them-
selves favourable to the substitution of a fixed duty for
the sliding scale, the Conservative leaders had lost no
occasion of marking that as a grand point of difference
between parties. On the one hand, they presented them-
selves as the steady supporters of the existing law against
even inquiry—and, on the other hand, they pointed to
their opponents as men who had shown and avowed
themselves disposed to change that law. It is fallacious
to accuse the late Ministers as having only bethought
themselves of commercial relaxations in the fashion
of „a._ death.bed __penitence _in 1841. , For:
„years pre-
reiously their .expressed -desire no-- ti - change in the
corn-laws had been worked by their intended suc-
cessors as one of the most dangerous things about
them. Well, no sooner were the elections carried by the
alarm against change of the corn-laws, than the new
Minister intimated that he was not pledged to every
figure of the sliding scale. He had previously stood
by the existing law, as something it was sheer heresy
to inquire into ! Instant innovation on the existing law
was his first measure for frightening existing interests.
Consistency (save the mark D, however, demanded
that the change should not be complete. Something
else, therefore, was to be thrown in as a makeweight—
a tub to the popular whale. Corn could not, for de-
cency, be satisfactorily handled, amongst the new " re-
laxations of commerce." Cattle, therefore, which no
soul dreamed of, which no tongue or pen asked for,
were to curry favour with the food-appetent public for
these "knaves in grain." Here was another "fright" for
the interests whom Sir Robert Peel came in to save from
being frightened. First he frightened them at the reckless
Whigs, who could dream of making corn an object of
commerce. N. B. Corn was already so—at intervals of
few years—and the Whigs, therefore, in seeking to give
its commerce steadiness, were far from seeking to de-
stroy any existing interest—but, on the contrary, as we
are firmly persuaded, consulting for the best, as re-
garded the landed interests themselves. Cattle, how-'
ever, was no object of commerce in any one's contempla-
tion. To begin making it so was to break new ground;
to bring in foreign competitors de gaiete de cceur. Eng-
land is as eminently fit to supply herself with home fed
cattle, as she is eminently unfit to devote her inferior soils
to wheat Here then was was a totally wanton and treache-
rous aggression on the very interest these men declared
required to be excepted from common commercial princi-
ples. Here was an inlet of competition with that interest
opened in an article of importance to it—and the neces-
sity of importing which had never shown itself in the
manifest shape which called loudly for change as re-
garded the commerce in corn. But not only are these
Ministers chargeable (from the protective point of view)
with starting unexpected game—with throwing open
unasked-for imports—but the admission of those
imports was flatly contradictory to their plea for
landed protection. If land required protection,
it required it pre-eminently for this branch of
products. For this is essential to all the rest—en-
couraging cattle-breeding is encouraging cultivation ;
discouraging it is discouraging and impoverishing the
very culture Sir Robert Peel still pretends to keep
out of the ordinary commercial category altogether.
We do believe that nothing more astounding ever was
conceived, or perpetrated, by any Government keep-
ing up the pretence of protecting agriculture—having
turned out its predecessors because they would not
enough protect agriculture—hallooing the hounds of
every county on Lord John Russell and his late
colleagues for proposing a duty of Bs. on corn, which
comes in whether we will or not—and then adopting a
nominal duty on cattle—whose manure is essential to
corn-culture Let any intelligent agriculturists,
even who still cling to protection, answer the ques-
tion, whether Lord John Russell's moderate ap-
plication , of commercial and financial principles
to the article of corn, or Sir Robert Peel's
unsettlement of corn, and new start with cattle,
be the more pregnant with- ultimate depressing effects
on agriculture I We.know this, that men of that order
think the repeal of the cattle-laws far more mischievous
to them than could have been repeal of the corn-laws.
Such men say that the small number of foreign beasts
hitherto imported supply no criterion whatever
of the effect of Sir Robert Peel's cattle clap-
trap. They say that it required some years' pre-
paration—which preparation is actively making in Hol•
land, Holstein, Northern Germany, &c.—to enable
foreigners to feed up to the condition required by the
demand of the English market. The farmers on the
opposite coasts have now provided themselves with the
short-horned breed fitted for this market ; and they will
find no difficulty in fattening up to the point required, as
the greater part of the very cake with which our farmers
fatten comes from Harnburgh, Holland, and Holstein ;
and the freight of oxen is less from Hamburgh .than
from Aberdeen.

STANDARD.—Putting on one side the deep crimi-
nality of fretting and teasing the temper of a diseased
though convalescent population, the Irish grievance-
mongering of the Opposition in Parliament is unspeak-
ably contemptible. Mr. Wyse on Monday occupied the
House of Commons with the State Trials, already dis--
cussed, in half a dozen different shapes, and upon one
occasion, in February, for nine successive nights. The
charge, however, though false was grave, and we hoped
that it would remain the well-wearing stock of the Irish
grievance-mongers,
" As in some Irish houses, when things are so so,
One gammon of bacon is hung up for show."
We were, however, mistaken ; the House of Lords must
have its "gammon" too (we design no vile slang pun),
and last night Lords Fortescue and Normanby pre-
sided at th% beggarly *entertainment. . The " gammon"
which occupied the noble assembly was supplied
by the case of Mr. O'Driscoll, whom the Chan-
cellor of. Ireland, having first dismissed from
the commission of the:peace, as not having at the
time (in consequence of recent indisposition) sufficient'
command of his temper, subsequently restored to the
bench, upon the request of nearly all the noblemen,
gentlemen, and yeomanry of the neighbourhood. Un-
fortunately for the grievance-mongers, Mr. O'Dris-.
coil is not an Orangeman, or even a Protestant. He
is one of the sect which usually supplies them with
suffering innocents. Mr. O'Driscoll is a Roman Ca-
tholic ; but as a loyal, a liberal, and a respectable
gentleman, he is considered by the ex-Ministerial
party as fit an object of persecution as if he had all his
life toasted the battle of " the Boyne," or of " the Dia-
mond." The charge against Mr. O'Driscoll is cumu-
lative ' • his crimes, if not of a very deep dye, are mani-
fold. He, it seems, in a rescue case in which himself was
the sufferer, sent for a witness to the rescue to his hbuse,
and then forwarded the same witness to give evidence
before another magistrate, which other magistrate, dis,•,
satisfied with the conduct of the witness, committed:
him, the witness, to prison. To this vicarious respon-
sibility for the act of another magistrate, Mr. ()'Driscoll
added the heinous guilt of impeaching the justice of a
decision of his brethren of the bench, and was even
reluctant to apologise, though in the end he made a
most ample apology ; lastly, he actually struck with the
lash of his riding whip an urchin whom he suspected of
having shot a hare before the hounds, which he was
at the time following in all the enthusiasm of the
chase. All these enormities were duly represented to
the Chancellor of Ireland, blazoned of course in that
style of eloquence by which the Irish so well know how to
bring out a grievance in bold relief and full effect—an
art, by the way, like that which enables the French cook
to convert old shoe-soles, candles'-ends, and fish-bones
into the savoury and piquant " harlequin," eulogised
by Eugene Sues " Chourineur." The medley accusa-
tion, duly seasoned by the officers of the repeal con-
spiracy, was presented to the Chancellor, who lota re
perspecta , concluded that Mr. O'Driscoll was like
many other squires of his age—a testy old gentleman—
that a recent indisposition (a fit of gout, we would
wager) had lately rendered him-more irritable, and that
therefore it would be as well to suspend for the present,
so the Chancellor's words ran, his functions as a ma-
gistrate. We are tempted to stop here, and ask
whether this was not hard measure—whether, there
is a 'squire of sixty years of age in the com-
mission of the peace in England who has not trans-
gressed as often and as gravely as Mr. O'Driscoll ?
However, the Irish Chancellor was right. Living in a
cloud of slanderers and false accusers, he could not be
too circumspect. Meanwhile Mr. O'Driscoll's friends
and neighbours of all ranks, those best qualified to
estimate his sterling worth, felt the slight apparently
offered to him as a wound to themselves ; they re-
spectfully remonstrated with the Chancellor, and
the ChancellOr complied with their anxious wishes
by restoring their old friend to the commisson ;•
and if the Chancellor had not done so, he would be un-
worthy of the station he holds. Such was the trum-
pery case with which the House of Lords was entertained
last night, through the whole of its sitting, by the last
two Whig Viceroys of Ireland. Trumpery ai

I must now add a word upon the prospects of the se-
curity of life and property in this country. lam as-
sured that during the last year the colony has greatly
a ivanced in security. The Akhbar of the 30th ult. re-
lates the circumstance of a man who, net being able to
leave Bona for debt by sea, left that town and traversed
the country from Bona to Philippeville in perfect safety;
and this he gives as an argument of the security of the
country. The distance which the man travelled is some
thirty miles. The son of the British Vice-Consul also
travelled from Cherchell to Algiers the other day, a
distance of about forty miles, with only two Moors and
another European, in perfect safety. The furthest post oc -
cupied in the interior isßiskara, lately taken possession of
by the Duc d'Aumale. The distance from the coast in a
direct line is about 200 miles. The Arab chief, acknow-
ledging the sovereignty of France, who is most distant
from Algiers (the city), is the Emir of El-Aghount,
which district contains a city with a population of 20,000
souls. It is quite evident, then, that the French power
in Africa is acquiring stability, and only Abd-el-Kader
prevents this colony, at least apparently so, from rapidly
advancing in the security of life and property. Of agri-
cultural prosperity I can say nothing at present. Towns
and villages, however, are springing up in this neighbour-
hood, and the number of new emigrants is estimated at
about 1,000 per month. The Spaniards and the Mal-
tese have been most successful amongst the strangers ;
but, I believe, the Germans are doing pretty well as
cultivators of the soil. Government gives a free passage
to every French emigrant who applies for it and takes
with him a certificate of
,character. On arriving here
they shift for themselves. Certainly, the shortness of
the passage is greatly in favour of emigration—always
within three days, and in steamers. So far, it must be
confessed, that the French Government is liberal.—

DREADFUL ACClDENT.—Yesterday morning, about
.nine, as an unfortunate man, named Peter Lynch; a brick-
layer's labourer, was in the act of ascending a ladder raised.
against one of the large houses now about bei.ng erected in
William-street, one of the bars of the laader broke, and
having a Heavy load upon his shoulder he was unable to
retain his grasp, which he, first made at the side of the scaf-
folding. After clinging for some time to a cross pole he was
obliged to relinquish his hold, when he fell with fearful
violence to the ground. He was immediately removed to,
the London Hospital, where it was ascertained that his skull
had been fractured, and other severe injuries sustained. But
slight hopes were entertained of his recovery.

mensurate with its specific pre,perties of speedily eradi-
cating every species of eruptive malady, discoloration,

perfectly innuceat, as it is agreeable and efficacious.

it shoA s, too, how truly we spoke when we said that Sir
Robert Peel's Government had been niggardly of Irish
grievances—niggardly indeed when nothing more pre-
sentable than the case of Mr. O'Driscoll's restoration
can be found. The state of Ireland Is unhappily far
from one of perfect felicity, much less enjoyment ;
but if the conduct of the Government only was
concerned in marring the prosperity and coin
fort of the people, this very grievance proves that Ire-
land would be a paradise ; for if we must set down as a
satiated voluptuary one who can complain of nothing but
a crumpled rose-leaf on his couch, may we not call that
people perfectly happy who have no more serious ground
of dissatisfaction than such an act as Mr. O'Driscoll's
restoration ?

TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 11 per mille.
which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10hd. per

The course of exchange at New York on London is
1094 per cent., and the par of exchange between Eng-
land and America being 109 23.40 per cent., it follows

the above difference.
