THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST F 47, 1844

We have received Madrid journals of the 19th inst.
The QUEEN, with her mother and sister, was ex-
pected to enter the capital on the 20th. According
to the Heraldo, the Moors were busily engaged in
repairing the fortifications of Tangiers, which were
said to be defended by fifteen hundred infantry,
while there were four thousand cavalry around the
town. The English Consul had returned from Gib-
raltar and resumed his official duties.

The Three per Cents. were done at 27 1-16 for
cash, and 271 at sixty days; and the Five per Cents.
at 20i at sixty days.

We regret to find, from the Paris papers, that the
same hostile feeling towards this country still pre-
vails, with little prospect of abatement. On the pre-
I sent occasion we admit that the French have grounds
of complaint, but they ought not to confound the
feelings of one anonymous and indiscreet writer with
those of the whole English nation. To impute any-
thing like cowardice to the French people, only shows
a want of common honesty, a wilful departure from
truth, and a malevolent spirit. Ninety-nine Eng-
lishmen out of a hundred admit the bravery of the
French to the utmost extent; and, if proofs were
wanting, it is ;only necessary to look back to the
great victories gained by their armies, not under NA-
POLEON only, but under every French General, over
the best troops of almost every Continental State.
The editors of French papers have no occasion to re-
but the charge, and they would have acted wisely
had they treated it, as it deserved, with contempt.
The details given in the telegraphic dispatch from
Marshal BUGEAUD are very meagre. He states that
800 of the Moors were killed on the field of battle,
but does not give the number of the French killed,
nor any idea of the forces under his command. This
battle, unfortunately, will only render peace more diffi-
cult. It will make the French desirous of further suc-
cess, and exasperate the fanatical Moors. No addi-
tional intelligence had been received from the French
squadron, though accounts from the south of Spain
announce that the firing of cannon had been heard in
the direction of the Straits of Gibraltar, and that
Larache, and some other small places along the
coast, had been bombarded. A letter which ap-
peared in a morning Contemporary, stating that the
Emperor of Morocco had acceded to all the de-
mands of the French when the Prince de JOINVILLE

commenced the attack on Tangiers, has called forth
remarks from several of the papers. The
Journal dcs Debats which has access to
authentic information denies the statement.
" We know not," says that journal, " if this letter
be authentic, but in any case it is a tissue of errors
more evident the one than the other. Every one now
is aware that the EMPEROR refused four out of the
seven conditions submitted by Spain; and as to what
concerns the reclamation of France, it is only neces-
sary to remind the reader that he demand pa the dig

missal of Marshal BuoEAun, whose presence on the
frontier no tleubt was very galling to him. There-

"ore, either the letter in question is apocryphal, or
the person who wrote it was singularly misinformed.
We have reason, on the contrary, to believe, that the
reports of the English Consul himself contain conclu-

sions quite opposed to him, and it was only after being
convinced the EmrEßoa was seeking merely to gain
time, that the Prince de JOINVILLE resorted to sum-
mary measures. It is also right to observe, that the
news received a short time previous to the action of
the 6th, announcing as certain the conclusion of an

accommodation, was communicated to the French

Consul at Gibraltar by the English Governor, and
thus transmitted to the Frynch Government; and,

nevertheless, the news did not emanate either from

the Commander of the French squadron, from the
Consul-General of France, nor, as we believe, from
the English Consul-General."
The French Funds were more firm on Sunday. At
TORTom's con-iiderable business was done, when the
Three per Cents. were quoted at 80f. 70c., Laving
risen about 35 centimes since Saturday.

A
11.NOTIIRR MONSTER TRAIN.— The cheap Sunday
excursion train on the Loudon and Brighton Railway,
on Sunday last, exceeded in magnitude all the other
monsters with which this railway has of late teemed.
No less than 78 carriages, containing 2,123 passengers,
left London-bridge in the morning, and after spending
the day in Brighton, returned in the evening. In order,
however, to avoid the inconvenience experienced on
former occasions from the delay in providing a large
number of passengers with accommodation, the train
was divided into three portions, each of which was dis-
patched as soon as full. By this arrangement the earlier
part of the train was in Brighton before the time an-
nounced, while the rest were not more than half an hour
behind time ; whereas, on the previous Sunday, the
whole -ntimher were, delayed upwards of two -hours
and a half. The .passengers 'spoke highly of this ar•
rangement.

at one swoop, all the salutary restrictions heretofore im-
posed upon them, inadequate as even they have proved
for the purposes of a sufficiently stringent control—
the health and lives of the public have been set up as
a free mark, as it were, for their fatal experiments.
But Sir Jesuss (who certainly has no reason to be
well pleased with his present standing in their estima-
tion) distinguishes between the public and the public
servants. The "gentle public" are to supply open, un-
restricted, moor-shooting to these unqualified gentry,
who may wound, or bag, or scare, or destroy just as
many victims as they please. But the army, the navy,
the East India service—public hospitals, infirmaries
for the poor, &c.,—these are street preserves,
into which the empirics, who are thus let loose on
society at large, may by no means trespass. Enough
for them, we should suppose, that they are left, by
implication, the honour of being doctors of the public!
What guarantees are to be exacted from those gra-
duates who, under subsequent clauses, are to qualify
before the new board, as licentiates in medicine and
surgery, or as surgeons, after rigorous examination,
we find shadowed out in clauses 13, 14, 15, 16,
&c. But they who are still to be authorised
to practise—on the public—minus the honours,
advantages, and emoluments accruing from the
registered certificates of which they will be
deficient, for aught that we can see to the contrary,
will not be troubled for any guarantees at all as to
their education, skill, or proficiency ! They may deal
with the most complicated diseases of the digestive
organs, although the previous extent of their medical
or pharmaceutical education may have been limited
to ascertaining the different intensities of a solution
of an ounce of Epsom salts and an ounce ':of jalap ;
their experience of cerebral sensitiveness, to the vary-
ing effects of an ordinary narcotic draught, and a
concentrated preparation of morphine. The utmost
amount of their physiological researches may not
have possessed them of the important distinctions be-
tween muscular contraction and vascular irritation ;
but they will deal, at a moment's notice, with cases of
organic derangement that may require all the patho-
logical learning of a second lIUNTER to detect, or all
the surgical skill and precision of a BRODIE
or a LAWRENCE to operate upon. Now it is
very certain that nothing has more tended
to improve and advance the medical sciences—to
extend the range and instruct the enterprise of opera-
tive surgery--than those more modern restrictive Acts
which have been passed during the last seven or eight
reigns with the avowed and wholesome purpose of dis-
couraging the irresponsible practice of incompetent
empirics. The education which it was, by reason
of those Acts, incumbent on the regular practitioner to
acquire, has necessarily become a very expensive and
elaborate one. The vast amount of talent, care,
and research which has been devoted, year
after year, to perfect this scheme of edu-
cation, has prodigiously facilitated the most re-
markable and precious discoveries of modern days, in
all the higher branches of chemistry, of anatomy,
physiology, and surgery, and therefore, in the appli-
cation of therapeutical agents. But in exact propor•
tion to, and coincidently with these advances in the
great march of all medical science, have been the
increased sacrifices of time, money, and application,
the additional severity of intellectual discipline and ex-
tensive study, which medical students in all classes have
made and given to the completion of their curriculum.
By what magical sympathy is Sir JAMES GRAHAM
induced to give to quacks,—who have little or nothing
of this preparation, these qualifications, that
knowledge, those laborious studies—to justify their
empirical practice—the advantages, the legitimate
advantages, that should justly and exclusively remain
with men who have adequately prepared themselves
for the able and conscientious discharge of the in-
valuable and most responsible duties to society, which
it is the honourable privilege of their profession to
render ?

Last week a white swallow was shot by a young gen-
tleman at Innerleithen. It was observed playing about
with some common swallows, and had attracted the at-
tention of several persons by its conspicuous dress. It
was stuffed as a curiosity.

THIS DAY'S NEWS.

BANKRUPTCY-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner FANE.)
IN THE MATTER OF ROBERT BANISTER.
In this ease, which has been so prominently before the
public, it may be remembered that the bankrupt had
carried on an extensive business as a draper in Portsea,
and who had absconded, after disposing of the greater
part of his stock below cost price.
This day a Mr. Coleman was examined touching the
receipt of certain moneys which he was alleged to have
received from the bankrupt.
The COURT seemed to consider that the publication of
the evidence would tend to injure the interests of the
body of the creditors.

CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Baron GURNEY and Mr. Justice WIG HTMAN.)
William Windley, 20, a labourer, was charged with a
rape on the person of Hannah Hale, a widow, at Leyton-
stone, and John Harknett, a labourer ; Jeremiah Wake-
ling, a baker ; William Scarborough, Henry William
Watts Irving, Edward Lingard, and James Windley,
were indicted with being present and aiding and assist-
ing in the commission of the crime.
The facts of the case and its atrocity will be in the
recollection of our readers.

The prosecutrix swore, most positively, that all the
prisoners committed the crime.
Mr. Ballantine conducted the prosecution. Mr. Pren-
dergast defended Wakeling and Hartnett ; and Mr.
Charnock Scarborough, Ashford, Lingard, and Watts.
Windley was undefended.
The facts of the case are totally unfit for publication.
Windley, in his defence, denied the committal of the
offence, and stated the prosecutrix was rolling drunk on
the day when it was alleged the offence was committed.
Mr. PRENDERGAST, at the suggestion of the Court,
declined addressing the jury on behalf of John Harknett
and Jeremiah Wakeling, and the Jury, under the direc-
tions of Mr. Baron Gurney, acquitted them both.
Mr. CITARNCCK then addressed the Jury for all the pri-
soners, except Windley. The Learned Counsel also
called several witnesses who deposed to the prosecutrix
being very drunk on the day in question, and one wit-
ness spoke to seeing her and Windley together in rather
an equivocal position.
Mr. BALLANTYNE addressed the jury in reply.
Mr. Baron GURNEY summed up.
Tho ;111.‘, .1.-13
tented them all to transportation-for life.

NEW COURT.
(Before the RECORDER.)
MA NSLATIGRTER. --- James Briggen, milkman, was
placed at the bar, charged with unlawfully causing the
death of Anne Jones, by criminal negligence in driving
a horse and cart.

Mr. Horry conducted the prosecution ; Mr. Clarkson
defended the prisoner.
It appeared from the evidence that the deceased was
coming, on the 9th of July, from Stepney, in the direc-
tion of Whitechapel. She was walking on the road, it
being more smooth that the foot-path. The prisoner
was coining in the same direction, driving a cart at the
rate of ten or twelve miles an hour, and the left wheel
of the cart struck the deceased on the shoulder, which
threw her down, and killed her almost immediately.
It was proved
.that the prisoner was drunk when the
accident took place. It appeared that the deceased was
a respectable young woman and recently married.
Several respectable witnesses gave the prisoner a good
character for sobriety, honesty, industry, and inoffensive-
ness.
The RECORDER said that this was a very serious case,
and the Court would have felt called upon to sentence
the prisoner to transportation were it not that his neigh-
bours flocked round him in the hour of need, and gave
him the very best character. But it was a duty which
he owed to the public safety to visit the prisoner with
an imprisonment which would be an example to others.
The sentence upon the prisoner was, that he be im-
prisoned in the House of Correction and kept to hard
labour for nine calendar months.

GUILDHALL.-(THIS DAY.
A working-looking man was placed at the bar charged
with having stolen a quantity of potatoes, the property
of a market gardener named Hyde, residing at Croydon,
but who keeps a stall in Farringdon market.
The complainant said that he left his stall for a couple
of hours on Tuesday last, and on his return found that a
sieve containinn, the potatoes in question had been
walked off. He afterwards discovered them in Field-
lane, in the shop of a Mr. Fenton, who had bought them
from the prisoner.
Mr. Fenton, eating-house-keeper, proved having
bought them from the prisoner.
Mr. Alderman BROWN—This looks bad against you.
What can you say for yourself ? Prisoner—l bought
them from another man, quite promiscuous in Farring-
don-street, and am as innocent as a blessed baby.
Mr. Alderman BROWN did not give implicit credit to
the prisoner's statement, and sent him therefore to
Newgate.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
A tall able-bodied man named Robert Holloway and
Margaret flag were placed at the bar charged with
committing a violent and unprovoked assault on Mrs.
Anne Bennet,

The complainant stated that she with her husband
and cousin went into a public-house in St. Martin's-lane
last night, and while standing at the bar the prisoners
came in. They were intoxicated, and they had not been
in the house many minutes before the female fell upon
the prcsecutrix and knocked her down with a large key,
which cut her eye severer•. While she was down, the
male prisoner struck her with a stick on the head. The
prosecutrix bad never seen them before in her life.
The prisoners did not attempt to palliate the offence,
and,

Mr. TWYFORD committed them to the sessions for
,rial.

UNION-lIALL.-(THIS DAY.)
Thomas Stephens was charged, before Mr. Trail,
under the fallowing circumstances.
On the preceding night the prisoner was observed, by
a young man named Miller, to approach the shop of
a Fheesemonger, at Walworth, and take a piece of bacon,
with which he walked away. The witness Miller went
after the prisoner, and accused him of the theft, and at
the same time attempted to secure him. The prisoner,
however, resisted the attempt, and, taking aim at the
witness's head, threw the bacon, with all his force, at
him, and struck him with such violence as to lay him
prostrate on the ground ; and he then endeavoured to
escape, but was secured by another person, after a sharp
pursuit. The witness exhibited a swollen and black
eye, from the effects of being struck with the bacon.
The prisoner was remanded.
Sarah Smith was charged with robbing children of
their clothes.
The prisoner was seen lurking about a court in which
a number of children were playing, and when a favour-
able opportunity presented itself she took up a child in
her arms and having taken it into the dark passage of
a house, took off its shoes and stockings and was pro-
ceeding to divest it of all its clothing when she was
secured. The prisoner, being suspected of robbing a
great number of other children, was remanded.

The Earl of Haddington and the other Lords of
the Admiralty are expected to leave town to-day, for

MISCELLANEOUS.
On Sunday, in Smithfield market, between four and
eight o'clock in the eTening, there were no fewer than
37 preachers haranguing large mobs of persons, some of
whom attentively listened, but by far the greater num-
ber reviled.

A Parliamentary return has been published, showing
the number of schoolmasters in Scotland who have
vacated their berths in consequence of the late secession.
The amount is stated to be 92, and several are still tin-
der suspension for having joined the seceders. The
number, it may be observed, is very small, considering
that there are 12,000 parishes in Scotland, with each one
schoolmaster at least, and many of them two.
It appears from a Parliamentary return, that for the
half-year ending the sth of July last, the total quantity
of refined sugar exported from the United Kingdom as
merchandise was 112,242 cwts., and the amount shipped
as stores 4',853 cwts. The exportation as merchandise
in the six months was, from London, 92,328 cwts. ;
19,752 cwts. from Liverpool ; 41 cwts. from ports on the
Clyde ; and from other outports 121 cwts., making the
total 112,242.

The Earl of Stradbroke has been appointed Vice-
Admiral of the coast of Suffolk, an office which was pre-
viously held by the late Marquis of Hertford. The Noble
Earl is visiting his estates in Ireland.
The Palace of Holyrood is now to be thrown open to
all visitors, on payment of a small fee, namely, one shil-
ling for a party of six. This is not by way of admission
money ; but merely to remunerate the servants for their
trouble in showing the different apartments
A model farm has been established at Berry Pomeroy,
on the estate of the Duke of Somerset.
General Goldie having resigned the Speakership of
the House of Keys, at the Isle of Man, last week, Lieu-

previous prices. The public sales have consisted chiefly
of 290 bushels, Java, which sold at lis to 225, for good
brown to mid white, being comparatively chef p, but so
small a parcel affords little guide to the market gene-
rally. The quantity of British Plantation landed last
week at the East and West India Docks was 729 hhds,
97 tierces, 103 barrels ; and there were taken for home
consumption 1,139 hhds, 153 tierces, 919 barrels. The

A plan for the formation of a railw?,y to connect the
metropolis with Richmond has been announced, and at a
meeting of the principal tradesmen of the latter, held a
clay or two since, it was unanimously agreed that the
line would be highly advantageous to the town, as well
as to those places through or near which it will
pass, such as Barnes, Wandsworth, Putney, &c. It is
intended that the railway shall be formed on the Surrey
side of the river, and to be connected with the Hunger-
fordfSuspension-bridge. A most easy and rapid com-
munication will thus be formed between the west end
and that delightful and favourite place of resort.
There is not a single colonial arrival of any importance
to announce this morning.

this morning. Consols for Money and the Account

plentiful, and the premium upon Exchequer Bills has
advanced to 765. The Three-and-a-Half per Cents. hare
been in good request.
A fall in Belgian Bonds to 102:1 has just occurred.
Dutch Stock is rather heavy. French Three per Cents.
have advanced a trifle, but Portuguese Stocks are cheaper
than yesterday. Spanish Consols remain at about
22i ; the Three per Cents. at 33f ; and Mexican at
35i h.
There was a fall in the London and Birmingham, in
the Birmingham and Gloucester, in the Brighton, and
