_FRIDAY EVENING; AUGUST 28, 144.

sation—and we fear there is no denying the fact—
the fault is less theirs, than the inexorable force of
circumstances. No provision has ever been made for
their comforts—no means adopted for the purpose of
benefiting their health—they have been looked on as
mere passive machines—convenient tools for their su-
periors to work with and make money by. Even in
Parliament, which should legislate for the advantage
of all, instead of for a mere fraction of the community,
their wishes and requirements have seldom met with
the attention they deserved. While the pleasures
and interests of the rich man have been protected by
an infinite number of statutes framed for his express
accommodation, those of the poor man have Leen
treated with supercilious indifference; or if, for mere
form's sake, the subject has been brought forward in
the House of Commons, the House has either been
counted out, or else Government—feeling it necessary
to say something—has coolly dismissed the question
with a well-bred expression that nothing could be
done. But the dawn of a better day is at hand.
We think we can perceive indications, neither few
nor faint, that a kindly spirit is at work among the
higher, and more especially among the middle,
classes calculated to be of infinite benefit to the
humbler orders. The freaks of SWlNG—the alienation
of the peasantry—the sullen discontent of the opera-
tives ;—these things, taken in connexion with the
rapid spread of Chartism among vast masses of the
working population, have at length effectually opened
the eyes of the great rulers of England—namely, the
middle classes—who now see, with the keenness which
self-interest imparts, that to be just, forbearing, and
humane towards their poor and humble dependants,
is not only an act of duty, but an act also of consum-
mate policy, of which they themselves will be the first
to reap the fruits.

Madrid journals of the 15th have been received.
The Government, it appears, had received dispatches
from the Spanish Consul at Gibraltar, which were of
an unfavourable nature. Of seven conditions de-
manded of the EMPEROR by the Spanish Cabinet, the
EMPEROR would accede to only two of any import-
ance—namely, the neutrality of a portion of territory,
around Ceuta, and a grant of indemnity for the in-
jury to trade. Some fresh disturbances had broken
out at Madrid, but no cause is assigned.

The Bourse was closed on the 15th, that day being
the Feast of the Assumption.

No further intelligence had been received at Paris
from Tangiers, and the war of words being nearly
exhausted, the contents of the journals possess little
interest. A Ministerial paper infers, that when the
storm is fairly calmed the affair of Otaheite will be
amicably settled by concession on both sides. " The
Commerce," says the Globe, " asserts that any repa-
ration whatever granted to England would be an un-
pardonable act of cowardice. On the other hand, the
Whig journals said, a few days ago, that if the British
Cabinet did not obtain a complete disavowal of the
conduct of the French officers at Otaheite, it would
dishonour itself. Truth and good sense lie between
these two opinions, which are equally extreme and
false. The English Government would not perform
an act of courage in demanding the complete dis-
avowal of legal acts ; it would commit an act of folly.
The French Government would not commit an act of
cowardice in expressing its regret at an error of form
and an useless severity ; it would perform an act of
propriety and justice. It is impossible that the two Go-
vernments, composed as they are of prudent men, and
not journalists, should not understand what they owfs
to each other."

Though no official accounts had been received from
Marshal BUGEAUD or the Prince DE JOINVILLE since
the last diipatches, unfavourable rumours prevailed,
which are attributed as the cause of the low atate of
the French funds. It was said, and believed, on the
Bourse, that more fighting had taken place between
the French forces and the Moors ; that the latter had
collected an army of at least 30,000, and that the
Marshall had sustained a defeat. Another rumour
was that a revolt had taken place on board the squa-
dron of the Prince DE JOINVILLE on account of his
not taking possession of Tangiers. Such an event is
very improbable, and the report is declared by the Mi-
nisterial journals to be entirely destitute of foundation.
Great activity prevailed in the French dock-yards,
we suppose chiefly to amuse and please the mad party
who cry out for war with England. " The Navy De-
partment," according to one of the journals, " had ad-
dressed a circular to all the maritime prefects, invit-
ing them to prepare returns of the number of ships of
war of every description, which might be sent to sea
within a short space of time, together with an ac-
count of the situation of our arsenals and strong
places."

On Wednesday the Funds fell about 10 centimes.
The Three per Cents. closed at 80f. 20c., and the
Fives at 120 f. 10c.

The following are miscellaneous extracts from the
papers :
"A courier was sent off on Monday to Cadiz by the
Minister of the Marine, with dispatches for the Prince
de Joinville, it being supposed that his Royal Highness
was still at that port, waiting for the ships sent from
Brest, to join him in the attack upon Mogadore ; but,
according to letters from Cadiz, the Prince had taken
his departure without this reinforcement.
" Lieutenant Keine, aide-de-camp of Admiral Dupetit
Thouars, who had been about three weeks at Vichy
taking the waters, has arrived at Paris, in compliance
with a summons frem the Minister of Marine. Captain
Collett, who commanded the Reine Blanche, the Ad-
miral's flag ship, has also been at Paris for some time.
He left the station in the Pacific Ocean subsequently to
Lieutenant Reine."

" A letter from ViennaTof the 14th, says—' Yesterday
the King of Prussia went to the theatre of the Court
with the imperial family. The royal party were re-
ceived with the utmost enthusiasm. The King was to
have been present at a review of the garrison to-day, but
in consequence of a slight indisposition he did not leave
his apartment until late. He then paid a visit to Prince
de Metternich, which lasted half an hour. The King
will take his departure to-morrow. Prince de Metter-
nich sets out in two or three days fur Trieste, in order
to be there at the Emperor's arrival.'
" A Berlin letter of the 13th, in the Journal de Franc-
fort, gives the following account of the disturbances
amongst the workmen in the cotton factories, which we
have already noticed :---‘ Last night, some disturbances
broke out in the large cotton factory of M. Dannenber-
ger, where the men refused to work any longer at their
former wages. It appears that some time back a new
kind of printing was introduced, which took more time than
the old sorts, and, in consequence the director advanced
the wages of the men engaged in it. As soon as they
got accustomed to the new work, they were able to get
on as rapidly as previously, and,the wages were reduced
to their former amount; It was this reduction which
produced the disturbances. The President of Police re-
paired to the spot with a sufficient force, and did all he
could to calm the irritation which existed. He also took
prooautiono to prevent any broaoh of tho pone.. franr-
tunately, the spirit of insubordination had spread, and
this morning the workmen of several neighbouring fac-
tories also struck. The proprietor of one of them, M.
Goldschmidt, was at the moment occupied in making his
preparations for the exhibition, which was to open two
days after, when the determinationsof the workmen was
communicated to him. He refused to increase the
men's wages, declaring that six or seven thalers (the
thaler is 2f. 75c.) were ample wages for a week's work.
All possible precautions have been taken to insure the
safety of the machinery, and to prevent acts of violence.'
" A Berlin letter, quoted by the Cologne Gazette, states
that M. Dunker, the police-officer, who had been sent
into Silesia to make an inquiry into the causes and cir-
cumstances of the riots among the maufacturers, has
been killed by a weaver, who shot him with a pistol; but
the Gazette adds that this news needs confirmation."

MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS. —The returns for
the last week are favourable. The number of deaths
was 932, while on the previous week they were 934.
In the first class, which includes epedemic, endemic,
and contagious diseases, there is an increase, as com-
pared with previous summers, chiefly in small-pox,
scarlatina, and diarrhoea. In almost every instance
there is a decrease. Deaths from consumption, old
age, and violence, are below the average. The number
of deaths caused by small-pox appears to be greatly
on the increase. The average is eleven, while last
week fifty-eight were carried off. The table gives
no return of the numbers that had not been vacci-

nated. The following is an analysis of the list o
violent deaths :—Fracture or contusion, nine cases, of
which four were by falls, and three by horses and
carriages; wound, one case (suicide) ; drowning, five
cases, of which one was stated to be suicide ; hanging,
two cases (suicides); scald, one case ; and suffocation,
three cases. Total, seventeen males (including one
case put to tetanus), and four females. The ther-
mometer was highest on Friday, 67.5, and lowest on
Thursday, 49 6 degrees. The quantity of rain in
inches was 0.92, the highest amount for the last four
months.

THIS DAY'S NEWS.

Ste R. PEEL.--Several of the Cabinet Ministers

MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

Since Monday the arrivals of English Wheat up from
market have been on a very limited scale, while the
stands were scantily filled with samples. The trade,
however, was heavy, at barely stationary prices. The
imports of Foreign Wheat continue good. The first
parcels sold at full currenc►es, but in other kinds next to
nothing was doing. The duty is now 19s per quarter.
The supply of Barley was small, yet the sale for it was
heavy, at late rates. Malt, Oats, Beans, and Peas, moved
off slowly, at prices barely equal to those obtained on
Monday.

The supply of beasts was tolerably good as to numbers,
but very deficient as to quality. Although the attend-
ance of buyers was rather numerous the Beef trade was
heavy, at barely Monday's quotations. We had on
offer 100 Scots from Aberdeen, and 20 Oxen and Cows
from Holland. Sheep, the supply of which was rather
limited, moved off steadily, and previous rates were well
supported. As is almost invariably the case at this
period of the year, the Lamb trade was very dull, at barely
stationary prices. In Calves very little was doing, and,
in some instances, the rates had a downward tendency.
Pigs were a mere drug. Milch Cows sold at from 161 to
191 5s each.

BRUSSELS, AUG. 20.—The average price of wheat
last week was 18f. 37c., and that of rye 10f. 38e. Those
prices are nearly the same as for several weeks past, and
those for duties on importation and exportation remain
as before.
The Prussian Gazelle gives a long account of the
solemn opening of the first general exhibition of the
manufactures of the Zollverein, and other German
States, which took place on the 15th of this month.
This exhibition is in the arsenal of Berlin. The
Ministers and a great number of public functionaries
were present at the ceremony, which the Minister of
Finance commenced with an appropriate speech.
Great apprehensions are felt that the inundation of
the Verdre would do much injury to the iron railway
between Liege and the Prussian frontiers, bat we are
happy that the works have resisted this severe trial, and
trains go as usual.

THE LITIATHAN TELESCOPE. - The lovers of
science will he happy to learn that the Earl of Rosse has
succeeded to his utmost expectation in polishing the spe-
culum for his Leviathan Telescope. He commenced on
Friday last, the 16th inst., at two o'clock, and had the
entire surface six feet in diameter, completely polished
at eight o'clock. The railway was already laid for con-
veying this unparalleled reflector to the tube yesterday,
and in the course of the ensuing week the final comple-
tion of this magnificent structure will be perfected.—

CAMBERWELL NEW CHURCH.—This commodious
and magnificent structure is now almost completed, the
further works being rather of an extra description.
The building now presents a most striking appearance;
it is situate on the right of the town adjoining Camber-
well-green, and on the road leading to Peckham.

MONEY AND COMMERCIALNEWS.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 4,000
bales, including 600 Anierican for export, at previous
rates, though the market on the whole was heavy. A
fair business was done in Shares, which were firmer:—

There is not a single arrival from the colonies this
morning with advises of a later date than those before
received.

The accounts lately received from Mexico have re-
newed the feeling of anxiety in reference to the position
of Texas, vis-a-vis the United States. It is im-
portant to know whether Lord Aberdeen, amidst
the distraction which the Morocco affair may
have caused him, has been mindful of the very
peculiar position of affairs in South America, and of the
danger we run of losing both our influence and our com-
merce with both of the republics, if we fail to adopt some
decided course of action. The question arises whether
Lord Aberdeen intends to support the clam of Texas
for its independency, and if so, what will be his line of
policy, now Santa Anna is raising a new army fur the
avowed purpose of invading it. The movement may
be one of mere show on the part of Mexico; but as
this must be a matter of uncertainty, our representa-
tives in the two republics should be called upon to act
with vigilence. The import trade of Texas has been cal-
culated at about three quarters of a million of dollars,
and some idea of the future opening to the enterprise of
British merchants may be formed from the following
epitome of last year's export trade from the United
States :

Domestic goods
Foreign goods 127,951 „

Total 406,929

This, however, is not one-half of the amount in 1838,
the uncertain political position of Texas having inflicted
a heavy blow on its consuming powers. The United
States took in return both cotton and hides to nearly a
corresponding amount with the exports above given.
The purchases by the Commissioners this morning
were 5,0001. Consols at 98i. And this is at the present
moment the value for cash, and for account. The mar-
ket has a languid appearance. Exchequer Bills opened
at 745. premium, and they are now at 725. premium.
The Three-and-a-Half per Cents. have improved to 102+.
India Bonds are at 945. premium.
The sales of the Foreign Bonds have been few this
morning. Spanish aro at 22i to 22+, and the Three
per Cents. at 33•. A purchase has been made in the
Russian Five per Cents. at 121. The Dutch and the
other Foreign Stocks hold about yesterday's value.
The Birmingham and Gloucester Railway Shares
have rallied to 4 and 6 premium. London and Birming-
hams have fallen to 122. premium; Midlands to 8 pre-
mium; and the York and Selby Scrip to 33 premium.
British North American Bank Shares have been done at
71 discount, and the Union of London at 1 premium.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Baron GURNEY and Mr. Justice WIGHTSIAN.)
POST-OFFICE ROBBERY.—Patrick Larkins, a letter
collector in the Post-office, was indicted with stealing, on
the 12th of August, two letters containing several bills of
exchange and orders for money to the amount of 7501.,
the property of her Majesty's Postmaster-General.
Mr. Shepherd and Mr. Adolphus conducted the pro-
secution, and Mr. Ballantyne appeared for the prisoner.
Our readers will recollect that the letters in question
were sent from the Central Bank at Perth to Messrs.
Glynn, Halifax, Mills, and Co., in Lombard-street, that
they never arrived, and that the prisoner was detected in
destroying them, when he discovered that their con-
tents were of no value to him. The case has been so
recently before the public that it is totally unnecessary
to enter into it in detasil. The case was most clearly
made out against the prisoner.
The jury found him Guilty, and
The COURT sentenced him to transportation for life.
MURDER.—Junies Carroll, a labourer, was indicted
with the wilful murder of Elizabeth Hobbs, on the 2d
of March last.

The prisoner, it appeared, resided in Birdcage•alley,
in the Borough, and hawked things about the street.
On the day in question a quarrel took place between
the prisoner and deceased, who resided in the same house,
when the prisoner struck the deceased on the, head and
face several times with his fists and the poker, of which
blows she died.

Mr. Ballantyne defended the prisoner •
Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN summed up.
The jury found the prisonerguilty of Manslaughter, and
Mr. Justice WIGRTMAN sentenced him to one calen-
dar month's imprisonment and hard labour.
INFANTICIDE.—Sarah Hyland, aged 22, spinster, was
placed at the bar charged with the wilful murder of her
new-born child.

The prisoner was a servant in the Savoy Palace
Tavern. The landlady, Mrs. Gibson, suspected that the
prisoner was pregnant, which she positively denied. She
went to bed on the night of the 24th of June with a fel-
low-servant, and on the next morning, after the other
girl had got up, she delivered herself of a child and
went down stairs. Before leaving the house she told
her fellow-servant not to let her mistress look into her
box. Mrs. Gibson, overhearing this, desired the
other servant to go up stairs and look into her box.
She did so, and found a child, which was dead. A sur-
geon was called in, who found that the head of the
child was crushed, and that a petticoat was wrapped
round the body, the strings of which were tied round the
neck, either of which causes wonld be sufficient to pro-
duce death.

Mr. BALLANTYNE addressed the jury for the defendant,
and urged on the jury the probability of the child com-
ing by its death in the difficult circumstances in which
the prisoner was placed, without the prisoner having any
criminal intention.

Baron GURNEY having summed up,
The jury retired to consider their verdict, and had not
returned when our report left.

NEW COURT.
The CommoN SERGEANT was occupied the whole
morning with disposing of Mint eases.
One man, named Page, was indicted for uttering a bad
half-sovereign at Paddington, under the following cir-
cumstances :

The prioner went to a chemist's shop, and told the
shopman to send a black draught to a neighbouring
house, and to send with it change for half a sovereign.
The shopboy was accordingly sent with the black draught
and the change, and on his road to the house he was met
by the prisoner, who asked him if he bad got the change,
and upon the boy saying that he had, the prisoner gave
him half a sovereign, and told him that he would take
the change and the bottle home. The boy gave them up
to the prisoner, and brought the half-sovereign home to
his master, wh,) immediately discovered that it was a bad
one ; and upon inquiry being made the prisoner had
never delivered the draught at all. Information was
given to the police, and he was taken into custody, and
upon his being searched another half-sovereign was found
upon him, which Mr. Field, the Solicitor to the Mint,
stated had been cast i❑ the same mould as the one which
was given to the prosecutor's boy.
The COMMON SERGEANT—This seems a higher order
of smashing, Mr. Field.
Mr. Field—Yes, my Lord, it is. This is the new kind
of ooining—these half-sovereigns have been electrotyped.
The COMMON SERGEANT to the prisoner—Well, we
must put a stop to this electricity, and you must be im-
prisoned and kept to hard labour for twelve months.
Several other prisoners were found guilty of uttering
base coin, and were sentenced to various terms of im-
prisonment, varying from three to nine months each.

The lion. Frederick Calthorpe, brother of Lord
Calthorpe, had recently received a great accession to his
fortune by the valuable property bequeathed him by the
late Mr. John Guigh.
