had England done anything amounting to a recogni-
tion of the French title to Algiers ?
It is not necessary to insist, for one moment, on the
vast political importance of any movements or events
which may have a probable tendency, though more or
less remote, to affect, prejudice, or come into actual
collision with, our influence in the Mediterranean.
This fact, we may assume, as not liable to be put, at
any time, in question between any parties. The re-
ply of Sir ROBERT PEEL appears to us to be emi
nently characteristic of the man—marked by a little
plausibility, a little cunning, more inconsistency, and
an utter absence of all true dignity. To exemplify
this last objection, in the first place the British Premier
says—" I shall feel it my duty to limit my reply merely
to a statement of facts, because whatever passes here on
the subject of Algiers becomes an immediate subject
of discussion in the Chamber of Deputies." What a
reason for withholding explanations or information
from a distinguished Member of the British Parlia-
ment—that they may become the object of comment
in the Legislative Assembly of some foreign country !
What an admirable reason for withholding from the
" Grand Inquest of the Nation" the lights necessary
to guide its opinions—because they might be com-
mented on in Paris, by French Deputies ! But Sir
ROBERT, though he cunningly intimates that " it is
not consistent with his duty to encourage discussion
of such matters," is too prone to commit an inconsis-
tency, not to depart from his previous declaration,
"that he would confine himself to a statement of
facts," by adding thereto at length a full comment
upon, and explanation of them. He recurs to the
Earl of ABERDEEN'S dispatch to our Ambassador at
Paris on the subject of the French possessions in Al-
giers. This dispatch had been quoted by M. Guizor
in the Chamber of Deputies:—
" The Comte Ste. Aulaire's version of Lord Aber-
deen's words was—' I was Minister for Foreign Affairs
in 1830, and were I to go back to that time, I should
have much to say respecting the occupation of Algiers
by France, but I take affairs as they stand in 1841, and
as theyi have been left by preceding Governments, and
I look upon that occupation as a fait accompli against
which I have no objection to make.' Lord Aberdeen, on
seeing this published, wrote to our Ambassador, re-
questing him to explain to M. Guizot that this was not a
correct report of his words. In that dispatch he says—
' I readily subscribe to the accuracy of that report, with
the exception of the last sentence, in which I st.id, not
that I had no objection,' but that I had no observa-
tion' to make, and the context will show my meaning.
What .I said was the result of mature reflection. I felt
that after ten years' acquiescence, observation would be
useless, but it does not follow that I had no objection to
make, although I did not express any.' "
Sir ROBERT added the admission that our Consul-
General at Tangiers was (so far from being under an
exequatur from the French Government) with the
Emperor of MOROCCO, acting upon instructions from
this Government.
But Sir ROBERT, more absolute than the Emperor
of MOROCCO, insists on Parliament's confiding on the
responsibility of his (Sir ROBERT'S) Government :
" I repeat that I think it much better to leave these
matters to the responsible Governments than to make
them subjects of discussion in Parliament." The
responsibility of a Government which has recorded
its matchless titles to public confidence in its pro-
ceedings on the Factory Bill, the Sugar Duties Bill,
and, above all, the Bank Charter Renewal Bill!
What will the modesty of the Premier expect next
from the subserviency of the Commons ?
Sir CHARLES NarsEß then addressed some grave
questions to the Premier; of these the most important
were—" Was it true that Spain had consented to
allow France to send troops into Morocco through
Ceuta ? Was it the intention of her Majesty's Go-
vernment to increase the naval force of the country ?"
For what Sir CHARLES had said about the suspici-
ous aspect of the coincident hostilities of Spain and
France with Morocco, the probable employment of
the strong fortress of Ceuta, on the coast of Barbary,
by permission of Spain, in advancing the operations
of the French armament, lately dispatched to that
coast (three sail of the line, a frigate, and four
steamers), under the command of the Prince DE
JOIN VILLE, and his sarcastic notice ofthatyoung gentle-
man's pilot-seizing affair on the waters of Mexico, we
must refer to the Parliamentary Report. Sir ROBERT
first schooled the gallant officer for attempting to get
up a discussion on our naval strength upon the
second reading of the Railways Bill ; and he made
this statement as to the main object of his questions :
—" I venture to say that there never was a period
when the power of this country to make a great naval
demonstration was greater than at present, although
the number of ships actually commissioned is small."
Now Mr. C. WooD, an important authority on this

very different account of our condition :

THIS DAY'S NEWS

" This present year there was an emergency also.
Ships were to be sent to the coast of Africa, and what
was our ability? We had three guard-ships and three
line-of-battle ships ready. We were never, in fact, re-
duced so low as at present since 1835, when the Right
Hon. Baronet was before in office."

Mr. Hodgson and Mr. James Parker were this morning
called within the bar, those Learned Gentlemen having been
appointed Queen's Counsel.
IN THE MATTER OFDYCE SOMBRE, A LUNATIC.

Hereupon the Premier waxed wroth ; declared he
would not answer Mr. WOOD'S observations; and,
like a spoiled school-boy, complained that the Hon.
Member did not use him fairly. Viscount PALMER-
STON " thought the Prime Minister had no right to
express surprise at questions being asked him about
the amount and capabilities of our naval forces; nor
did he think that the Government required previous
notice to enable them to answer questions on a matter
of so much importance." Sir ROBERT complained
that the Noble Lord did not "play fair ;" and he
blustered about the " no answers he would have

On this matter being called on,

CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.)
John Jones, a notorious vagabond, whose face is as familiar
in this court as any of its officers, was charged with creating
a riot and disturbance on Saffron-hill.
It appeared from the evidence, that on the previous night
at 12 o'clock the prisoner was fighting with another man on
Saffron-hill. An immense mob had collected on the place,
and, before the combatants could be separated, the prisoner
cut open his antagonist's eye -brow who refused, however, to
give him in charge, as he had a wife and family and could not
afford to lose a day's work by attending at a police-court. The
constable took the prisoner into custody, who used the vilest
language, and was exceedingly violent all the way to the
station-house.
The prisoner was fined 55., or a commensurate term of im•
prisonment. The money not being forthcoming he was sent
to the House of Correction.

The session of the French Chambers is now rapidly
drawing to a close. Most of the departments of the
budget have been disposed of, and from all appear-
ances the Chambers will be prorogued in the course
of next week. In answer to questions from M.
LANJUINAIS in the Chamber of Deputies, relative to
the late changes in the Greek Government, M. GUIZOT
said France had done everything consistent with her
duty towards a foreign Power to keep up a good
understanding among different parties in that country,
Unfortunately she has not been successful, but she
had nothing to do in the formation of the new Cabi-
net. The national assemblies were about to meet.
and if the Cabinet had a majority, it would stand.
If not, it must fall. M. CREMIEUX then complained
that the English Consul at Algiers had not de-
manded his exequalur from the French Government. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(THIS DAY.)

" Praises to God, &c. From the servant of God, Ali Ben
el Tuieb, to the Chief of the Christians at Algiers, Marshal
Bugeaud.—l have received your letter, and have understood
the contents. When I came towards the frontier, I had no
other intention than goodwill towards your subjects, and to
force them to remain within their respective limits ; but au
-event arrived, without any intention or concurrence on my
part. When you came yourself you wrote to me, and I en-
tered into negotiations with your representative with sin.
cerity and the heart free from guile. You made propositions,
and I did the same on my side ; we did not agree, but we
separated safe and sound, each hoping that the other would
reflect, and that, with new powers, we might fall upon an
arrangement which would put an end to all difficulties. I
knew nothing of what had happened after my departure
until it was quite over. Know that I cannot approve of mis-
understanding between us, even although the provocation
should be on your side. But we cannot go back upon what
has passed ; for to God belongs the direction of all things.
You say that you are still disposed to friendship and peace.
So are we ; and, besides, I have not received permission to
go to war. We must not, therefore, on either side regard as
an inexcusable grievance such or such a fact contrary to
peace, so long as friendship shall exist between us, and main-
tain our old conditions, which were established by our ances-
tors, and have been represented by their descendants. God
does what he chooses and desires. I will not depart in any
way from these conditions ; on the contrary, by their exe-
cution will be confirmed friendship, peace, and the happiness
of our people "

THE IRISH STATE TRIALS.—It has been erro•
neously stated in the morning papers that the House
of Lords would sit this morning at ten o'clock to gi. e
judgment on the writ of error. Their Lordships are
not to meet till half-past four this afternoon.

GUANO ISLANDS AND COASTS.—Mr. G. P. Payne.
of Liverpool, has just published a chart of the world
on Mercator's projection, exhibiting the certain and
probable Guano islands and coasts. They appear to
be very numerous, and are scattered chiefly along
the equinoctial line and between the Tropics. The
chart will be found very useful for those who now
speculate in this manure, which is daily becoming an
article of great commercial importance, and is found
to be so necessary in agricultural improvements.
HUNG ERFORD MARK ET SUSPENSION BRIDGE.—
The operation of laying the chains has now been car-
ried on for some days with great activity. Four
different gangs of workmen are employed in wooden
frames, called cradles. They commenced at the top
of each pier on Monday, two of them laying and
rivetting the chains towards the centre, and
the other two those which are to be fixed
on the _ piles erected _on each bank of the
river. The latter appear to have completed their
part of the work, and the centre gangs are now within
a few feet of each other, so that one of the chains will
be completed in the course of the day. If we may
judge from what has been already accomplished, the
bridge, though it will, to a certain extent, obstruct
the view, will have a very graceful appearance.
MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—There has been
a considerable decrease in the number of deaths during
the last week, the total being 871, while the average
is 900. The deaths from small-pox are still nume-
rous-36, the average being 11; of these 27 had not
been vaccinated ; and the deaths from scarlatina ex-
ceed the average by 18, the number for the last week
being 58. The following is an analysis of the list of
violent deaths :—Fracture or contusion, 5 cases, of
which 2 were by falls and 1 by a carriage; burns, 2
cases ; poison, 3 cases (suicides); drowning, 3 cases,
of which 2 were accidental, and 1 a suicide; hanging,
1 case (suicide); murder (by means not stated), 1
case ; and injury of a kind not described, 1 case.
Total, 13 males and 5 females. The thermometer
Was highest on Monday, July 1-70.7, and lowest on
Saturday, 51.2 degree. The quantity of rain fallen
in inches was 1-28.
