London, England, 1850-09-18 00:00:00

LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER is, 1850.

the most unwarrantable insinuations on Mr. Hun-
KiN respecting the property of 30,0001. left to him by
Mr. BOTTRLLL, and who in his last paper has yet the
hypocrisy to say, " We are sorry that this matter has
been renewed,"—he himself being the party to renew
it,—has, with his own hand, written the following :

There was some scandal afteat at the time, not very
complimentary to the integrity of Mr. Hudson. We
shall not further allude to it here, BECAUSE WE BE-
LIEVE—and WE HAVE MEANS OF KNOW-
ING—Mr. Hudson obtained Mr. Bottrell's property in
the most legitimate and honourable manner. Indeed,
we only allude to this matter here, because the fortune
he thus acquired was the original practical provocative
of that spasmodic spirit of adventure, and comprehen-
sive speculation, which have made the name of Hudson
inseparable from locomotion and steam-engines."
Now, what do the citizens of York think of the
person that constitutes himself their oracle, n hose
right hand seems not to know what his left
hand doeth ? Is the conduct we have shown up
consistent with their standard of common honesty ?
Why, if he were to print his own sketch of Mr.
HUDSON'S 'career,—written " by special " order for a
London paper,—in the columns under his con-
trol at York, he would run the risk of being
tarred and feathered by his subscribers ! In
order to represent himself as an injured innocent
to his readers, he has recourse to an untrue state-
ment of our exceptions to his pamphlet—which state-
ment is.then, of course, described as " unwarrantable"
and " outrageous." We stated that he had compressed
into seventeen lines of narrow column the whole of the
examination of Mr. HUDSON by Mr. MARTIN, Q.C. ;
—he omits that learned counsel's name, and then repre-
sents us as saying that he had confined the wholeof Mr.
HUDSON'S examination (including that byMr. Sergeant
WILKINs) to that space ! These are the petty
artifices the party who, by hardihood of assertion,
has got his representations against Mr. HUDSON into
circulation, is compelled to have recourse to ! Ser-
geant WILKINS, now his counsel, at the late York
city election, we see it mentioned, described this same
individual as one of those loathsome insects for which
SYDNEY SMITH used to prescribe soap, hot water, a
bard -brush, and the small-tooth comb! Let him
beware of his impending fate. He seems astonished
that the rays of The Sun should be able to detect so
small a creeping thing; but he may depend upon it
that as the " great eye of Heaven" can cast its glances
into the nooks and crannies of the world, and make
a sunshine in what was before a shady place, we can
see many things which he would as lief were veiled
from view.

Tn FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Pori~ jaurrals of yesterflay.
The feud between the Legitimatists and the Bona-
partists waxes every day more hu:-. The L,gititna-
tists haughtily reject all overtures fur aiding in the
prolongation of the Presidential powers. Having
wed the Planche Napolionienn9, they now &sire to
kick it aside—such is the only construction which can
be pLced on the following article in the Opinion
Publique
e regret to be obliged to say to the Constitutionnel
that the vote of the Legitimatists is not for any de facto
Government, and that it has never occurred to them to
establish the slightest comparison of the nature of that
which it speaks of between Count de Chambord and the
President of the Republic. No, they will not give their
aid 'in maintaining the President at least provisionally;'
they will not fear to act as revolutionists because
they will prevent the law to be violated in the sense of a
Government de facto, and of an attempt more or less
disguised, at a Bonapartist empire witl:out Bonaparte. It
is not by insulting the Legitimatists, and by afterwards
bending them, that they will induce men of principles to
change their opinions—men who have shown that
they knew how to resist, in the constituent, sll the at-
tacks of the Red Republic, and who, having known how
t i protect themselves, see in the Ple.idetirship of N.
Louis Napoleon Bonaparte only a power de circonstance,
to which they have given much le giving their votes,
and to which they by no means belong. The Legitirea-
tists, far from bt lievirg that Bonapartism is to preserve
them from, revolution, look on it us a revolutionary dan-
ger, because Bontipartiam, without being power, only
irritates by its pretensions, and because some days back,
at the terminus of the Rouen Railway, it was seen what
elements of disorder and civil war there are in a mi-
nority, although few in number. In conclusion, our
opinion is very clear, and the persons entertaining it are
unanimous in declaring that they will not accept any de
facto Government, nor consequently any prolongation
of the Presidential power of N. Louis Napoleon, nor
any attempt at Empire, whatever name may be given to
it; and it will be seen if the Right of the Assembly will
not be compact in their vote, if the slightest allusion is
made to that questior. No more expedients—either the
legal constitutional election such as N. Louis Bonaparte
accepted it, as long as France does not reject it, or he-
reditary monarchy; and there are no two of the kind.
The whole of the Right are unanimous on the point, as
will be seen after the recess."

Our readers cannot have forgotten the cuckoo-cry
which was raised by the parti pretre and Legitima-
fists, that Louts NAPOLEON was entitled to the eternal
gratitude of France for having saved her from anarchy
and Communism. Having by these flatteries induced
the PRESIDENT to give to the parti-pretre the exclu-
sive monopoly of education, to destroy universal suf-
frage, and to gag the press, with a view to prepare the
way for the restoration of the domination of the
Congret,►ation and its puppet, HErsnt V., they now
turn volte face, and in the Union thus treat the claims
of the PRESIDENT to the title of defender of the cause
of order.

"The Constitutionnel pretends," says the Union,
"that the PRESIDENT of the Republic has rescued
France from the hands of sharers and Communists.
In truth, she rescued herself from them in the days
of June. The PRESIDENT was then still in England.
IVe do not reproach him with this ; but still the case
is that France defended herself perfectly well, and
knew how to secure her triumph without
him. We mean to say nothing else. Returning to
the avowal of the Constitutionnel, from which we were
obliged to depart in order not to leave the double im-
putation of that journal without reply, we simply
mark it down as an avowal. Hopes were entertained
to weigh by means of the councils-general on the
Legislative Assembly; but that has proved a failure.
The trial has been evidently a decisive one, since the
failure is admitted. We are, in consequence, autho-
rised to come to the conclusion that the country is
not favourable to the ambitious views which concealed
themselves behind a show of zeal for the revision. We
were frequently told that there is no representation
of the sentiments and interests of the populations
more exact and more faithful than the councils-
general, but it is sufficient for us to declare that the
Assembly guards its entire liberty. In principle that
was not doubtful ; now it is no longer doubtful in
fact. That is all the conclusion that we desire to
draw from the article of the Constitutionnel."

The Government has given orders for an inquiry
into the charges against the Society of the loth
December.

The Patrie declares that the most perfect tran-
quillity prevails in the capital, and that there is no
reason to apprehend any disturbance of the public

peace.
None of the members of the Committee of Per-
manence have called on the PRESIDENT since his re-
turn from his tour.
The Moniteur announces that M. DE WENDLAND,
the new Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipo-
tentiary of Bavaria, has presented his credentials to
tho PRESIDENT of the Republic.
The same official journal denies that any negotia-
tion has been entered into, either directly or indi-
rectly, to establish a Customs union between France
and Belgium.

General Wii.LisEN has itued the fullowiug procla-
mation to the army :
"HEAD-QUAR I'ERS, SEPT. 13.
" I thank the army for the bravery and per.e.erapce
it displayed during the days of the 12th and 13th.
All the troops that took part in the eng,genient
did their duty, and the Drill), thus bnemes the more
ready for operations. The engagement has not ben
without painful loss. The Ist battalion, which made
a brave attack on the tete du pont at Misaunde,
has suffered the most. We have effected what we
proposed. By a bold movement, which should have
drawn the enemy cut of his position at Schleswig, we
have offered him battle in the open field under the most
favourable circumstances for Litre; we have destroyed all
his field works in the east-, by Eckernforde, Holm, and
Hummelfeldt, and his camp at Kochendorff, and thus
proved that he is not so fully master in Schleswig as he
gives himself out to be.

" I await the reports from the different corps in order
to reward distinnuished acts of bravery by promotions.
The General in Command,

" V. WILLISEN."

MALMO, Sk.PT. s.—The cholera still rages here.
Two of our first physicians. who were connec'ed with
the Cholera Hospital, Dr. THORNE, and his successor,
Dr. CocxEnoTir, have fallen victims to it. Yester-
day twenty-four persons were attacked, and seven
died ; the day before twelve were attacked, and nine
died. On the whole, the number cf cases has been
754 ; deaths, 212. In some districts around it is on the
decrease, while in others it has only just. broken out.
The elections for the Diet are proceeding rapidly.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales cf Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
mat: d at trom 8,000 to 20,000 btites. cf which 7.000
American, 1,600 Pernam and Maranham, and 2,000
Surat wi re taken o❑ speculation. The supply was li-
mited, and prices of Americ In advanced F. to i-. 1. per lb.,
and all other kinds were *3. per lb. higher.—The Share
Market was firm, and prices were advancing
Graham's Town (Cape f Good Hop) advices of
July 9, state that the minute of Earl Grey up in the
subject of compensation to arties who suffered injury in
their property during the 'Kaffir war, had caused dis-
satisfaction, because the new territory is to be made
liable for the amount of the same, whereas the colonists
think they should receive a free grant, and had held
meetings to pass resolutions accordingly. Three of the
principal mercantile establishments at Graham's Town
were about to remove to Port Elizibetb, and this seaport
at no distant date must be the commercial capital of the
province. Colton teemed to flourish still in particular
localities, and samples had been shown which bad flos-
somed four months after the seed was sown. The large
deposit of guano discovered at Dassen Island was
valued at 40,0001.
The express, in anticipation of the Overland Mail from
India and China, advises us that at Calcutta imports
were in rather better demand. We have no letters yet

in town.
The accounts by the Great Western steamer have not
yet been delivered, and we merely know per telegraph
that the total alumna on board for the Mexican divi-
dends is 50,761 dolls. The accounts from Mexico are
decidedly more encouraging, as it is alleged that the
Congress was seriously disposed to come -to a settlement
of the debt. Trade was rather dull, and goods had ac-
cumulated owing to the cholera. The Great Western
brings the Alexican, Havannah, Honduras, Nassau, and
Bermuda mails, and under the new arrangemeut we
shall shortly have the Tay with the West India intel-
ligence.
At the Amsterdam Bourse, on the 16th inst., Dutch
Two-and a-Half per Cents. were firm at 574. In Spa-
nish a moderate business was done.
A good deal of excitement was occasioned this morn-
ing by a rumour that the proposal of the committee of
Spanish Bondholders, for an arrangement of the foreign
debt, had been rejec:ed at Madrid; and we need hardly
remark how extreme was the disgust felt. Upon
inquiry, it appears that the chairman of
the committee is advised, in a letter just
to hand, that Mr. Bertran de Lis does not feel disposed
to recommend to the Junta of Public Credit the amended
propositions sent from London ; and it is presumable,
therefore, that an attempt will be made to press the
terms offered by him.
These, we feel satisfied, the bondholders will never
accept. They are even now, in numerous instances, bit-
terly complaining of the sacrifices which the committee's
cmicessiuns would entail upon them, and daily are 1, tters
in that sense addressed to Mr. Capel, and yet the Spanish
Government grudges such a miserable instalment of
justice. There is still hope, however. The Duke of
Valencia was not at Madrid when M. Bertran de Lis
expressed himself adverse, and Lord Palmerston's ex-
cellent letter, recommending the adoption of the compro-
mise, had not reached that capital. Energy and firm-
ness are all the bondholders have to depen.s upon, and
they look confidently to their executive to display both.
The English Funds have been flatter, and have not
recovered from the decline which occurred before the
close of business yesterday afternoon. Consols have
been 961 4 tor Transfer, and 96i fur Time. The news
from ;the Continent begins to be watched with more
solicitude, and there is a fuller supply, at the same time,
of Stock for actual transfer. Exchequer-bills have been
marked 645. to 67e.. and India Bonds 87s. to 84s. prem.
We are authorised, by Mr. W. P. Robertson, to state
that he has received a letter, written in Mexico on the
13th ult., which gives him the strongest assurance that
M. Payne, the Minister of France, will use his utmost
endeavours to pass through the Chambers the arrange-
ment of the Foreign Debt, in conformity with the re•
port of the committee, already published. Mr. Ro-
bertson expects further accounts by the packet, due, on
the 223, and if received they will be made public, for the
information of the bondholders.
Spanish Stock, which opened well at 19,i, has since
fallen to 184 to 194. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been
334; Mexican have been buoyant at 30i to 304; Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 58.
The Railway Share Market, though active, does not
support the highest rates of yesterday.
