FRANCE AND MOROCCO.

The following is a copy of a letter received at Lloyd's
from their agent at Gibraltar, dated Aug. 1, 1844 :
" Sin—The only novelty which has transpired is the
report of the expected dispatches from our own Charge
d'Affaires, Mr. Drummond Ilay, dated Morocco, 26th
ult., when he was actively negotiating with the Em-
peror, through his Imperial Ma'. sty's Minister, Ben Rez,
which news our Governor considers to augur favourably
for the realization of his hopes, that all differences will
be amicably settled ; but I apprehend that the public are
of opinion that the existing condition of affairs is
such, es not to exclude all apprehension, and, if
the negotiations, however successful, be tardy, it is
thought that the French Admiral may not be in-
duced to continue to delay hostiFties; indeed, a
general rumour prevails here, but upon what grounds
I am unable to find out, that :n a day or two coercive
measures will be adopted by his Royal Highness Prince
Joinville, who is already at Tangiers with a part of his
forces. Everything remained quiet yesterday in that
town, consuls afloat. and European population retired,
but numerous armed tribes had congregated under the
walls and in the neighbourhood.
"Nothing can be more critical than the actual posi-
tion of affairs. The British Admiral, in the Formidable,
remains in our bay with the Caledouis, three-decker ;
whilst at Tangiers are the Warspite and Albion, under
Commodore Lockyer. On the part of the Spaniards
their brigade is ready at Tarifa and Algesiras, and 1,000
cavalry are daily expected in our immediate neighbour-
hood from Madrid, to join the African expedition. Their
movements will, however, wholly depend on the French,
without whom it is supposed they wiil not act.

To William Dobson. Esq., Secretary."

SIR Co',max O'Loommor.—We are happy to learn
that, Sir Colman O'Loghlen is daily improving. On Thurs-
day this popular young Baronet was so far recovered as to be
able to walk for a short time in the grounds at Dnunconora.

RESTORATION OF THE CHURCH OF ST. °LATE,
SOUTIIWARK.--The venerable edifice, St. Olave's Church,
which suffered so severely by the firs at Topping's Wharf,
just twelve months since, is now rapidly advancing towards
completion. It is anticipated that Divine service will be per-
formed again in this church before Michaelmas, or in about
five weeks from the present date.

DUTCH AND FLANDERS MAIL.

THE HAGUE, A uG.4.—Our accounts from India for the
second half of April, inform us that pirates have again
appeared in various places, fur instance in the Molucca
Seas. Off Ternate a native vessel was attacked by five
pirates, which, however, were repulsed with loss. In
the Straits of Sands forty pirates had been seen, which
were supposed to come from the north-east coast of
Sumatra. One of the accounts says, that the pirates of
Mangindano intended to collect their whole force, con-
sisting of about two hundred vessels (among which was
an European ship which the had captured), and to as-
semble near Celebres, in order to take vengeance for the
defeat they sustained last year, and even to do their
utmost to get possession of the steamer which has done
them so much damage. Captain F. A. d'Aguino, com-
manding the Portuguese ship Margarida, has been found
guilty by the Council of Justice, at Batavia, of having
carried on slave-trade, and has been condemned to five
years' imprisonment, and to twenty years' banishment
from the Dutch East-India possession.

jesties the King and Queen of the Netherland:, was

DUDLEY ELECTION.
WEDNESDAY, THREE O'CLOCK, P.M.—The nomi-
nation for candidates for this borough took place this
morning, and, as usual in all manufacturing towns, the
voice of the people was decidedly in favour of those
great principles of free-trade of which Mr. Rawson is
the actual representative in this borough. At an early
hour large bodies of workmen, employed on my lord's
and other Tory gentlemen's estates, were marched into
the town, for the purpose of swelling the numbers of the
friends of monopoly. At nine o'clock the two candi-
dates and their respective friends arrived on the hustings,
and were received with the usual amount of groaning,
cheering, hissing, and other popular demonstrations. 'l'.
Badger, Esq., a Conservative magistrate, then came
forward, and proposed Mr. Benbow as a fit and proper
person to represent them in Parliament. Ile did so be-
cause he was a thorough Conservative, a supporter of
Church and Statc, and an opponent of the Anti Corn-law
movement. Captain Bennet seconded the nomination of
Mr. Benbow. Charles Twamley, Esq., in an able free-
trade speech, proposed Mr. Rawson. The Rev. John
Palmer seconded the nomination ; after which Mr. Ben•
bow addressed the assembly, merely recapitulating the
topics set forth in his address. Mr. Rawson next pre-
sented himself, and after some slight interruption, he
was listened to with marked attention. The show of
hands was declared to be in favour of Wm. Rawson, Esq.
A poll was then demanded on the part of Mr. Benbow,
which commences to-morrow (this day).
