THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 2, 1641

any necessity for our further demonstrating how well-
founded are our charges against it. It remains only,
therefore, for us to establish by the proofs that are in our
hands, that the English press is in no great degree be-
hind •ur own in irrationality, inconsistency, and evil
instinet. We regret to be obliged to produce the Tives,
a journal of so much importance, as a specimen of the
bad spirit which seems to predominate over journalism
in the free countries of Europe."
It afterwards adds :
" If it be true that order would be disturbed in France,
that our new-born dynasty would be endangered, that
our railroads would remain unfinished—that Paris, that
great seat of industry, would be deserted by foreigners,
and that with them employment, profit, and wealth,
would depart ; that every branch of our national industry
would receive a rude shock ; it is equally true that on the
day when the flames of war should break forth the voice
of O'Connell, now smothered, would be heard aloud ;
the element of democracy would make the aristocracy
pay dear for the aid it might lend. You would sow dis-
order and uneasiness amongst us, but you would not pro-
duce a revolution. Go to ! neither you nor we, nor kny
portion of Europe, have anything to gain by a war. All
of us have need of order, undisturbed industry, and sta-
bility, and we all depend upon each other. The
first cannon-ball you fire against us will strike
all Europe to the heart. It is for this that we wish for
peace, and not from want of confidence in our own
strength or from fear of yours. When you talk of your
strength you commit an enormously great act of impru-
dence—you place yourselves on a ground from which
we have never stirred. England would be against us
But we have had all Europe upon us, and she will long
bear the marks of the wounds we have inflicted upon
her. Would you know what has greater influence over
us than the strength of England—than all the might of
Europe? We reply, justice and equity. Convince us
that we are wrong, and though we will never yield a
step to dictates issued from the cannon's mouth, we will
give way to the arguments of good sense and truth. All
this would be very alarming if France and England
were governed by journals. But this is not the case.
The journals, through the calumet which is called a pen,
blow storms and tempests in the ocean, which is called
an ink-bottle. All this comes from no great elevation,
and penetrates to no great depth. Those who rule are,
like travellers seated on the summit of the Alps—the
storm is at their feet, but a calm is around them, and the
invariable canopy of Heaven above their heads."
The Journal des Debats adopts nearly the same
strain, but the writers in these journals ought to re-
member that the English newspipers were not the
first to begin the war of words, and that many inju-
rious epithets were for months applied to England
without any retaliation. The Journal des Debats, in
reference to such angry discussions, says :

" The English press shows far more anxiety about the
results of the bombardment of Tangiers than that of
France, and exhibits its uneasiness in a manner which,
we must declare, does it but little honour. The French
Government has formally and publicly expressed its re-
solution to wage only a defensive war ; it has declared
several times that it has not the slightest intention to
add an inch of territory to its African possessions, and
yet it is in presence of these reiterated declarations that
the English journals take the trouble of protesting
against all permanent occupation of Morocco by France.
We have already asserted, and we now repeat it, that
such a proceeding is what is called showing courage
and firmness at a cheap rate. It is most ungracious
to impose on France limits which she had traced
out for herself beforehand, of her own accord, and with-
out the permission of any one. The French Go-
vernment has no desire to take Morocco, but it wishes
to keep Algeria. It may suit the English press to
deprecate what is taking place in French Africa, and
to say that we are losing our time, men, and money
there. That may be the case ; but, at all events, that
only regards ourselves, and we are but little sensible to
the interest that is so kindly shown for our finances.
We know not what England would have done with
Algiers, if she had got it ; but we have it, and will ex-
pend, if necesary, millions of francs and thousands of
men, to keep it. We conjure the English press to watch
more carefully over itself, for it plays a part but little
worthy of itself, and of the great country the opinion of
which it represents. It turns a particular and accidental
question into a general one, threatens us with a coalition,
makes an appeal to the passions of 1815, and boasts of
the support of Russia, Austria, and Prussia. There is
but little honour in thus threatening with the sword of
others. England, if she accepted the responsiblity of
such a language, would strongly contradict herself. She
saluted with an enthusiasm, which, in spite of every-
thing we have not lost the memory of, the revolution of 1830,
because she beheld there the triumph of constitutional
principles, and the victory of legal liberties. It is owing
to the union of the two great liberal nations of the west
that Belgium was able to found her nationality, and that
Portugal and Spain could give themselves a Parlia-
mentary Government. Would England be now disposed
to repudiate this glorious obligation, and to repudiate
the cause of civilisation, progress, and liberty ? We
think not."

Considerable agitation prevailed in the Paris Bourse
on Thursday. The Three per Cents. at one time fell
to 78f. 85c. They finally closed at 80f. 10c., and the
Fives at 120 f.

" ALEXANDRIA, Aua. 7.

News from Marshal Bugeaud of the 14th has been
received. The Marshal, wishing to prevent the re-
union and augmentation of the Morocco army, which
every day received additional reinforcements, marched
forwards from his camp.
The Moroquins stood upon the defensive, with a
mass of cavalry of about 20,000 men. It appears that
the Marshal has gained a complete victory, but parti-
culars are not yet known.
Bourse dull at 80f. 10c.—Herald.

CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Baron GURNEY and Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.)
FORGERY.—Sackville Sachville, alias Charles Davis,
pleaded guilty .to an indictment charging him with
feloniously uttering and putting off a forged bill of ex-
change for 2501., with intent to defraud Simon Benda'',
and was sentenced to twenty years' transportation.
FORGERY OF DUTCH BlLLS.—Pietro Valler, a jeweller;
Francisco Enrico, a fencing-master ; and Henry Har-
rison, a draper, were indicted with feloniously making
certain orders fur the payment of money, purporting to
be orders of the Directors of the Administration-office of
Funds in the kingdom of the Netherlands.
Mr. Bodkin addressed the jury for the prosecution,
and Mr. Ballantyne, Mr. Charnock, and Mr. Clarkson,
appeared for the prisoners.
It will be in the recollection of our readers that the
prisoners, through the prisoner Harrison, applied to an
artist of the name of Louis Gluck Rosenthall, residing
on Wellington-terrace, to engrave a copy of the coupons
of the Netherlands' Bank. Mr. Rosenthal' thought there
was something suspicious in the transaction, and he at
once gave notice to the police, and also went to the
Consul-General of the Netherlands, under whose direc-
tion Mr. Rosenthall completed the plate for the forgery.
It was clearly proved that it was an attempt to defraud
the Dutch Government, and the prisoners were then
taken into custody. Several witnesses were examined,
who clearly proved the case against the prisoners.
Mr. Clarkson addressed the jury for Enrico, Mr. Char-
nock for Valler, and Mr. Ballantyne for Harrison.
Mr. Baron GURNEY summed up.
Tho jury found all the prisoners Guilty, and Mr.
Baron GURNEY sentenced them all to ten years' trans-
portation.

TUE GRAND JURY.
The Grand Jury, in the course of the morning, made
their last presentment, and were thanked by Mr. Baron
Gurney, on behalf of the county, for their exertions.

NE IV COURT.
(Before the COMMON SERGEANT.)
EMBEZZLEMENT.—Frederick Gardner was placed at
the bar charged with embezzling a sum of 14s. on the 9th
of August, and a further suns of 41. 1 Is., received on the
10th, the property of Edin 4 Alexander.
It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner re-
ceived the money, but it was the habit of the prosecutor
to allow the prisoner a book in which the money re-
ceived was to be put down. It appeared that the pri-
soner had given credit in the book for having received
the money, but stated that ho had lost it out of his
poelce t.—The prisoner was acquitted.
William Bagshaw was charged with stealing two geese
on the morning of the Bth of August, the property of
Henry Taylor, from his premises, 7,
York-street, West-
minster.

It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner was
found with the two geese dead, concealed under a cloak,
by the policeman on duty. He represented that he was
going to make a present of them, and did not wish to let
his wife know of it. The prisoner had been convicted
before of robbing 50Z, and was but a short time since
liberated from an imprisonment of nine months.
The police-constable stated that the prisoner kept very
bad company, and that he intended to give the geese to a
woman of bad character.
The prisoner was sentenced to seven years' transpor-
tation

GUILDHALL.—(THIS DAY.)
A respectable married female, named Elizabeth Gads-
ley, was placed before Alderman Challis, charged with
an attempt upon her own life.
The constable took her into custody in Finsbury-pave-
ment, and on searching her at the station-house, a quan-
tity of oxalic acid was discovered on her person. She
was locked up in a cell, and endeavoured to effect stran-
gulation with her garters. The attempt was discovered
in time to prevent a fatal consummation.
The husband of the prisoner said that they had been
married twenty-five years, and had lived happily to-
gether, but unfortunately they had had a few words on
the preceding evening, and the quarrel had so affected
her, that she had meditated the act of self-destruction.
If the Magistrate would let her go, he would promise
that she never should so commit herself again.
The prisoner gave a like promise, and said that she
now greatly repented of her purpose, and begged the
Magistrate's and her husband's forgiveness.
She was discharged.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
The Hon. Mr. Touchet was brought up this morning,
for final examination, charged with firing a pistol at
Mr. Smith, the gun-maker, in Holborn.
Mr. Clarkson appeared for the prisoner.
Mr. Smith was able to attend this morning ; and
having been accommodated with a seat at the table, his
evidence was taken. The facts of the case have already
appeared on several occasions.

Mr. Smith was bound over in the sum of 1001
to prosecute.
The surgeon at the hospital was examined, and he
stated, that the ball came away from the wound in Mr.
Smith's back, on the 6th of the present month, having
remained in the wound exactly a month. Mr. Smith
was now out of danger.
The several witnesses were then bound over to pro-
secute, and the prisoner was committed.

HAMBURGH MAIL.
BERLIN, Auo. 13.—The contagion of the riots of the
workmen has extended to us. Yesterday evening there
was, a disturbance in the great Dannenberg cotton
manufactory. The workmen refused to work for the
same wages as hitherto. The cause of this discontent
is said to be the following:—Some time since a mode
of finishing with new colours was introduced in this
manufactory. As the work did not proceed so rapidly
as by the old mode, the manufacturers allowed higher
wages for this kind of work. The workmen, however,
have since become so expert in the work, that they find
it as easy as the old method. The manufacturers have
therefore reduced their wages to what they were before.
This has made them dissatisfactory. The police directly
repaired with a sufficient force.to the spot, and all means
of persuasion were used to quiet the men, and the neces-
sary precautions taken to prevent excesses. Unhappily,
the evil has spread, and this morning the workmen in
some other manufactories have declared that they will
not work but for higher wages. Mr.; Goldschmidt,
the proprietor of one of the largest establishments, was
busy in making arrangements for the exhibition of the
German manufactures, when he was called away. He
told the men that he should not raise their wages, which
was amply sufficient to support the workmen (to earn five
or six-dollars a week, and if very diligent seven dollars),
and thus every one was free to return to his work or to
keep away.
BRESLAU, AUG. 15.—The magistrates of the circle
of Pless have issued the following proclamation :
" In several parts of the monarchy a feeling of irrita-
tion against the Jews has manifested itself, and in some
places has broken out in acts of violence. The expe-
rience of former times teaches us such feelings are con-
tageous, and that everything must he avoided which can
tend to increase them. I am, therefore, instructed by
superior authority to direct the police to pay especial at-
tention to this matter, and not only to prevent and stifle
in the very beginning every outbreak of wantonness, in-
sult, and fanaticism against the Jews, but, if contrary to
expectation, such hostile disposition should actually
manifest itself, in words and deeds, to interfere with judg-
ments, and produce to the most decisive and energetic
measures against the persons so offending."

FIRE AND Loss OF LlFE.—Yesterday morning,
shortly after seven o'clock, a fire was discovered on the
premises of Messrs. Woolley and Lofthouse, tar and
turpentine distillers, Pump-fields, Vauxhall-road. It
appears that three men were at a work in a shed in the
yard, when one of them called out, " Save yourselves,
men." The next moment an explosion took place, the
cause of which has not yet been ascertained. Two of
the men made their escape by jumping out of the window.
The third was seen to advance as far as the door, where
he became enveloped in flames, and was not afterwards
seen alive. Mr. Hewitt, with three engines, water-carts,
&c., arrived on the spot at half-past seven o'clock, and
was soon followed by a large number of the fire brigade;
and the engine belonging to the West of England fire-
office was also in attendance. By the most praiseworthy
exertions the flames were subdued in about twenty
minutes, and prevented from doing further damage.
Mr. Hewitt and his men then commenced digging for
the poor man who was missing, and near the door where
he was last seen, his remains, burned almost to a cinder,
were discovered. Another of the three men had his arm
burned, and the hair of his head was much scorched.
The premises, we believe, were insured. The name of
the poor man who lost his life is Thomas Okenshaw.
He was steady and industrious, and has left a widow and
child, who were dependent upon his exertions, entirely
destitute.—Liverpool Mercury.

the promoters have entered into arrangements.—Railway

charged not less than 3,000 to 3,500 shots during the
bombardment at Morocco.
The Oporto wine trade have been relieved from all
doubt as to the progress of any further negotiations with
Portugal on the subject of an alteration of the duties.
It has been officially stated that no further correspon-
dence between the two Governments is expected. The
correspondence upon this subject will, no doubt, be found
in another column of The Sun.
This is quite a blank day in the City, as far as ar-
rivals from the colonies of later dates are concerned.

so high as it was yesterdiy. In the morning, for Money,
there was a purchase, for transfer next week, at 98-4,

premium upon Exchequer Bills is a shade lower than it
was in the early part of the day. Bank Stock is again
at 1994, and India Stock at 282.

in the Foreign Funds. French Five per Cents. have
been firm at 119 f. 50e., the exchange remaining at
25f.50c. Belgian Bonds are a shade lower than they
were. For the other foreign Stocks the demand has been
very slight to-day.
