ANTIC IP A TION S OF CHRISTMAS.
Who would not pen a simple rhyme
To welcome Christmas—merry time ?
Who would not picture with delight
The festive scenes so gay and light?
Who would not proudly raise their voice
And bid the human heart rejoice—
For Christmas, with its merry train,
Approaches blithely on again I
As " salutations" hail the time,
Why, " liyam" would with truth combine
His grateful thanks he would express
For public favours and success!
And prove by sterling truth and deeds
How well his system now succeeds.
The parting year surpasses all
The "past" that memory can recal
And future efforts will display
Of clothing a superb array;
So to your form a grace impart,
And visit Hyam's splendid Mart !

THE LIGHT ON THE GOOD WIN

SANDS.
(Extract from a letter.)
" The extract from a letter which has gone the round
of the daily and weekly publications states, in great de-
tail, the forward state of a lighthouse upon the founda-
tion of Mr. Bush's caisson (the Light of All Nations),
from which it is said a light may be exhibited on the
Ist of January. Having lately returned from visiting
Dover and Ramsgate, where I had time for observation
and inquiry, I can positively assure you that the above
statement is either a delusion of the writer's brain, for
which he is to be pitied, or, which is worse, an attempt
to deceive (a hoax), that may if believed do mischief, if
not publicly contradicted, which I hope it will be ' by
authority.'
" Every Ramsgate and Deal pilot knows that the
only erection that has lately been visible upon the
Goodwin Sands is the beacon which was built in Dover
Harbour last summer for the Trinity Corporation,
by their engineer, Mr. Walker, and his partner, Mr.
Burgess, and was afterwards, with the aid of steam.
vessels, to Ramsgate, where it remained one
of the objects for visitors to look at until the weather
allowed it to be taken out
,to its station at the back of
the sand, one of the elder brethren, having the charge.
I have since conversed with Douglas, the foreman of the
work under the engineers, who told me, that when the
caisson got over the place where it was to be sunk a
sluice was opened to admit the water inside, when the
caisson sank rapidly down to the sand, where, by some
contrivance, the sides were disengaged from the bottom,
which now forms the foundation of the beacon; the whole
superstructure of mast, ties, &c., with a large globe at
top, having been completed and fixed before the caisson
left Dover, so that nothing had to be done, when they
got to the edge of the sand, but to disengage the sides,
which was done in less than an hour. I have inquired of
those who have seen it since the last heavy gales, and
have been told that it keeps its position, and is as erect as
when first placed. The pilots say, that the floating-
lights in deep water near the sand are preferable to light-
houses upon the sand, and that beacons should be near
the edge of the sand, to be of use as beacons."

DISMISSAL OF IRISH MAGISTRATES.

Mr. P. S. BUTLER wished, for the information of Irish
magistrates, to learn, from the Noble Lord the Secretary for
Ireland, what were the grounds of Mr. Cornelitis O'Brien's
dismissal from the magistracy.
Lerd ELIOT had no official information on the subject.
—...--.

Mr. CHRISTIE rose, pursuant to notice, to ask Sir Robert
Peel whether the Government have taken, or intend to take,
any steps for removing the disabilities and disadvantages under
which Dissenters from the Church of England labour in the
profession of the law ; but at the request of Sir R. Peel, he
postponed the question till Monday.

RACE-COURSE GAMBLING BILL.

Mr. CHRISTIE presented a petition from Charles Henry
Russell, the plaintiff in certain actions brought to recover
penalties from several noblemen and gentlemen for excessive
gambling upon horse-races. The petitioner complained of the
injustice of the Bill that had been introduced to suspend those
actions, and prayed to be heard by counsel at the bar of the
House. Mr. Christie then gave notice that he would move.
to-morrow, that the petitioner be heard at the bar, according
to his prayer.

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 53 1844,

troops retained their position. The following curious
details respecting the Emperor of Monocco, in a ,
letter from Tangiers, appear in the Algerie, a paper ,
published at Algiers :
" The Emperor is suspected of having poisoned his prede-
cessor and cousin Solyman, and he is now constantly afraid
of a similar death himself Except his son,' says the letter,
nobody can approach him. It is he who serves him at table,
and always first tastes his food. For a length of time this
duty devolved on Sidi-Mahommed, the Sultan's eldest son;
at present it is the task of Muley-Ali, his younger brother.
Both of these vim are born of the same mothe4 called in the
country Rhamouna, and she is an Englishwoman. Sidi-
Mohammed, the heir-presumptive to the throne, is a man of
about thirty-five years of age ; his blue eyes and fair beard
betray his half British origin. Abder Rhaman, who is about
sixty, is strong and active, and of a cruel and brutal charac-
ter. Sidi-Mohammed replaces his father in all difficult cir-
cumstances. At the conflict of May 30th, at Lalla-Magrania,
it was he, it is said, who commanded the Morocco troops.
He, besides, for a length of time kept up relations with
Abd-el-Kader, whom he encouraged in his struggle against the
. French.' The people of Morocco state that, without him, the
ex-Emir would have given in years age. The correspondence
between the Khalifs and the future Sultan has always been
exceedingly active.' "
The trial of CADOT and ROUSSELET, for the murder
of M. CADOT, the banker at Pointoise, was brought
to a close on Wednesday, when the son was acquitted,
and the other convicted of murder, but, according to
the verdict of the jury, under extenuating circum-
stances. He was condemned to the galleys for life.

TIIE LETTER-OPENING.

Mr. HUME had seen in the ordinary channels that in the
discussion of the Committee respecting the opening of letters
in the Post-office, the Right Hon. Baronet had said that he was
indifferent to the subject. The contrary was the fact; and in
the first debate he had denounced the opening of letters as
base and disgraceful; and he had said that nothing could be
more degrading to a British Minister than to act as a spy
for foreign Governments.—(Cheers, and cries of " Order,
order.") He must say that if the House had ap-
pointed him to the Committee, he would have had nothing to
do with it.--( Hear, hear.) He would have nothing to do with
Secret Committees, and he thought that no proceedings of that
House should be secret from the pnblic.—( Hear, hear.) Every.
where he had gone throughout the country, he had heard but
one opinion of this disgraceful conduct. Only yesterday,
in a linen draper's shop at Yarmouth, a person came
in and complained that a letter had not been sent to him,
according to promise. But the shopman assured him that
the letter ha I been duly posted, and perhaps it might be
found upon Sir James Graham's table.—( Laughter. )
Sir R. PEEL said that the lion. Member's absence from
the discussions did not show any intense anxiety upon
the subject ; and he thought that the lion. Gentleman
having already made up his mind that the transaction was base
and disgraceful, disqualified him from sitting on the Committee.
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE then moved that petitions presented
on the subject be referred to the Committee —Ordered.

SCOTCH AND IRISH BANKS.

Mr. P. M. STEWART presented a petition from Renfrew,
against any interference with the present system of banking in
Scotland. Much alarm had been created by an intimation given
by the Right Hon. Baronet (Sir R. Peel), that as the House
had assented to the Bank Charter Bill, he should feel himself at
liberty to turn his attention to the banking and currency of
Scotland and Ireland. He begged to ask whether it was in-
tended to interfere with a system which had worked so well as
that of Scotch banking ?
Sir R. PEEL said that he would not take any step upon the
subject without communicating with the persons best acquainted
with the subject.
MINISTERS' MONEY IN IRELAND.

Mr. Sergeant MURPHY begged to ask the Right lion.
Baronet whether it was his intention to uphold the division
of the House yesterday in reference to ministers' money ?
Sir R. PEEL said that the matter was in the !fon. and
Learned Gentleman's own hands, and he did not think it would
be just to exempt the property to which the motion related for
the payment of ministers' money.

CAUTION TO MARINERS.
SUNKEN WRECK, RAMSEY, ISLE OF MAN.

A letter received at Lic;yd's, from their agent at Ramsey,
Isle of Man, states that the sloop Alexander M'Neal, which
sank in that bay in March last, has not been raised, as ex-
pected, and as she lies in the direct tract of vessels with her
mast-head just above water, at low-water, advises masters of
vessels bound to that port accordingly.
