at once rivet upon him, through pleas founded on such
admissions on his own part. The public, of course,
would have no right to demand of any man any such
suicidal proceeding. But with what justice and force
might not his own family reproach him for having,
by an act of exaggerated simplicity, demolished his
own fortune, and destroyed their natural prospects and
equitable rights ? Suppose Mr. Alderman WOOD to
have addressed himself to one of the highest legal
functionaries in the kingdom, complaining that certain
publications had much maligned and misrepresented
him in an affair of this nature, and asking advice as
to the institution of civil actions or criminal indict-
ments with a view to redress and vindication, we can
imagine the QUEEN'S Attorney-General replying to
him—" I have read these papers, perused your an-
swers, studied the documentary evidence you have
sent in to prove them. I am clearly of opinion that
they establish the fact of the libel you com-
plain of, and vindicate your character ; but,
I am as clearly of opinion that, to put
them on a record, or to introduce them into a
plea, would cover you with overwhelming liabilities
for all the acts, debts, and obligations of the Company
with which you have connected yourself." Of course
we are in no sort of condition to say, or even to
assume, that the facts of the Talacre Company's
affairs warrant any such hypothesis. But it is a fair
hypothesis for our purpose; and on this ground and
for the reasons we have offered above, we really
live that Mr. Alderman T. WOOD may successfully
proceed to election as Lord Mayor of London.

A grand ball and supper have recently been given,
in the Corporation Hall of Londonderry, in honour of
Lady SALE. We congratulate the townspeople of
that renowned city on the credit they have done
themselves by this homage to our heroic country-
woman. We congratulate those individuals among
the men of Derry, with whom the necessary arrange-
ments rested, on the good tact and judgment they
have displayed, in taking care to mark their compli-
ment as specially destined for her ladyship. To her
gallant and excellent husband they had already
evinced their cordial respect, by that sensible, Eng-
lish-like, intelligible, expressive form of greeting—a
public dinner, at which he was TIIE guest—the re-
spected, and reverenced, and greeted of all present
at it. To Lady SALE the homage of a ball, glitter-
ing with all the adornments which the vicinity of the
city, and the whole county of Derry, indeed, could
furnish of distinguished station, of beauty, rank, and
fashion, of civil eminence or aristocratic connexion—
was a more appropriate and graceful tribute of atten-
tion. It was susceptible of enhancement by, perhaps,
one only concomitant, and this the people of Derry
did not fail to attach to their invitation—for her noble
husband, at once the partner of her fortunes and her
liberator from a fearful captivity, was, as he would
have desired to be, amidst the rapine and desolation
of Cabul, the captivity of Jellalabad, and the multi-
plied perils of the Khoord-Cabul pass—at her side.
All honour, we cry, with our Irish compatriots, to
the self-devoting, the calm and collected, the intrepid,
and yet gentle, Englishwoman, whose exalted sympa-
thies with her ill-starred fellow sufferers—whose
strong and unclouded mind, and unwavering energy—
whose quiet resignation to the will of PROVIDENCE,
combined with the generous solicitude of her active
humanity on behalf of friends, kinsmen, and followers,
sore wounded and faint with agony, or fast perishing
beneath the destructive fire of ambushed enemies, or
the yet more relentless snows and frosts of the savage
and cloud-capt crags through which they urged this
terrible retreat—all honour to her, whose magnani-
mity, and fortitude, and resolution, shed a halo
of glory, and of triumph, even upon that ap-
palling spectacle of disorganisation, discomfiture,
and disgrace, from which our mutilated army had to
force its desperate way. This great, this memorable
woman cheered the desponding, way-worn, bleeding
soldier, whose first breath had been drawn beneath
the temperate skies of her own well-remembered and
happy home, in that far distant land to which she
must have felt in secret that there was little chance
or none that either of them ever should return. In
vain she staunched the gaping wounds of the be-
Joved husband of her beloved daughter. With each
new call ofduty, in that long and hideous pilgrimage
through defiles rife with human carnage and military
ruin—the gallant STURT, heedless of his sufferings,
reckless of his own life in the anxiety to provide
for the protection of others, flew to the
points where the Khoord robbers or the
Affghan soldiery had rushed in upon our broken
columns in the greatest numbers, and with the
fiercest fury, till the death which he had so inces-
santly defied relieved him, sword in hand, from the
protracted anguish of his honourable wounds. But
neither bereavements of
.this inexpressible mag-
nitude, nor her own suffenng—for the musketry of
the mountaineers had not respected even her person—
could withdraw Lady SALM from the sacred task of
consoling, reanimating, exhorting, attending, reliev-
ing the miserable and multiplied victims of the mur-
derous treachery and fanatical resentment which pur-
sued, and hung upon, and decimated the retreating
force on every side. The undaunted sepoy—first
and boldest of our native subjects and allies—after
exhibiting in Cabul, among the howling defiles of the
Khyber Pass, before Jellalabad, or on the plains of the
Punjaub, an emulous heroism which had recorded him
to all posterity in the same rank of military valour and
conduct with his European teachers and leaders, and
had extiAguished the old distinction of respective pre-
sidencies, in estimating sepoy service, by one common
course of sustained and daring achievements in the
fiel,d ;—this sepoy blessed with his dying breath the
fair English hand which ministered to his last wants
(who had been reared beneath the burning sun of
Southern or of Western India), among the eternal
snows and icy winds of the mountain ranges of Central
Asia. The touching accents and the commanding
devotion of this heroism inspired the most exhausted
soldiers with renewed energy, the faint-hearted with ir-
resistible confidence. Her impressive example confirmed
the still resolute, upheld the wavering; and a gene-
rous sharne at the contemplation of so much intrepidity
in a woman, the partner of their dangers, the companion
of their flight, the witness of their efforts, the partici-
pator of their sufferings, soon resulted in the infusion
of an enthusiastic and salutary assurance of speedy
succour and success into the hearts and councils
of all around her. The events which justified these
anticipations restored her to the arms of her gallant
husband and her surviving comrades, for it is her proud
privilege to be authorised thus to speak of the valiant
wreck of an Anglo-British army, to the victorious
protection of their countrymen. Honour to this illus-
trious lady, let us once more exclaim. But are the
citizens of Derry to be alone in this great work ?
Is the National gratitude, is the National chivalry,
at so low an ebb that its tide cannot greet with some
tributary offering so noble an object for its honours ?
Are the fountains from whence, by an axiom—(shall
it, indeed, be said by a "fiction")—of the Constitu-
tion, all graces and honours to the subject are sup-
posed to be derived, to be closed or dried up at her
approach, whose contact with them can possibly im-
part more ennobling virtue to, than it can receive from,
them ? Or is it, in this age of political prudery, in
these days of cant about official precedent and the
custom of departments, that neither royal condescension
nor ministerial recommendation, nor the public will,
can be moved to confer some lasting memorial of an
empure's respect for transcendent conduct and ex-
,2mplary virtues, because where it would have been

Accounts from Madrid to the 17th instant have
reached us. The appointment of M. MARTINEZ DE
LA ROSA to the department of Foreign Affairs is bit-
terly attacked by the Opposition journals. They
dread the alterations which they say he intends to
propose in the Constitution of 1837. The Castellano,
in reply, observes, " that M. MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA,
instructed by long experience, would now adopt a
wiser course. If, at the commencement of the civil
war in 1834," he deemed it expedient not
to press any important measures of reform, for fear of
detaching and frightening the Royalists; now, when
the revolution is over, he cannot be influenced by the
same considerations." El Globo reminds the detrac-
tors of M. MARTLazz Da LA ROSA that it was be

who:contributed most, after Queen CHRISTINA, to re-
establish the constitutional system in Spain, in 1834.
" The Liberal of 1812 and 1820, the Minister who,
after the demise of the KING, opened the doors of Par-
liament, has not, as asserted by El Clamor Publico,
constantly resisted the progress of liberty, and the re-
forms of civilisation. M. MARTINEZ DE LA RosA
never regarded the Estatuto Real as a work of per-
fection, or a definitive concession, but merely as the
basis upon which the structure might be erected."
We are inclined to believe, with the Castellano and
the Globo, that the Spanish Ministry do not now in-
tend to propose very extensively anti-liberal altera-
tions in the Constitution of 1837, but we also believe
that they did at one time intend to propose those al-
terations, and that they are only prevented from doing
so at present by the dread of a Carlist outbreak in
the north, which, should it take place, will force
CHRISTINA to adopt a conciliatory policy towards
Liberals of all classes. On the subject of the threat-
ened Carlist outbreak, a private letter from Bayonne
of the 20th inst. says :

" The state of Navarre excites the attention of the
Spanish Government far more than is generally believed.
Besides the forces marched to that province, a formid-
able police is about to be organised in it. A superior
officer of the new gendarmerie, or guardias civiles, left
Madrid on the 16th, in order to organise that corps.
The Carlists are stirring up the country in the most
energetic manner. More than six thousand proclama-
tions, published in the name of Don Carlos, were about
to be forwarded from Bayonne to Pampeluna, Estella,
San Esteban, Lodoso, and other points, when a counter
order arrived which suspended operations ; nevertheless,
everything is ready for a movement. A friend of mine
has seen these six thousand proclamations in a house of
this town. A good number of deserters from the army,
and of young men whom the Quinta includes, continue
to arrive at Bayonne. If a Carlist band, provided with
some money, were suddenly to appear in the environs of
Pampeluna, you may rest assured that it would be joined,
within a fortnight, by three or four hundred refractory
recruits."

The scrutiny of the votes has made no change in
the situation of the candidates for Madrid. The
111o3erados are all returned. The Deputies for Ma-
drid are MM. MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA, NOCEDAL,
ALCALI-GALIANO, GUERRERO, EGUIZABAL, FER-
NANDEZ DE LA HOZ, and NUNEZ-ARENAS. The sub-
stitutes are the Duke D'ABRANTES, the Marquis DE
PovAR, and CABRERO. The senators are the Mar-
quis DE PENAFLORIDA, the Duke DE CASTROTERRENO,
RUIZ DE LA VEGA, GORCOECHEA, AGNAR, and the
Marquis DE MIRAFLORES.
Several of the newly-elected Deputies have arrived
in the capital, and preliminary meetings to organise
plans of action are already talked of.
The Duke DE GLUCKSBERG has arrived. He is
the bearer of the treaty of peace concluded with Mo-
rocco, and it is said will proceed himself with it to
Paris.

We have received the Paris papers of Monday
They contain as usuel articles on the subjects of
Morocco and 0 taheite. The Warspite correspon-
dence and the visit of Capt. WALLis to the French
Consul also come in for a share of notice. The
National speaks in the following handsome terms of
the conduct of Capt. WALLIS :
" We mentioned two days back the honourable pro-
ceeding of Captain Wallis, of the Warspite, with the
Consul of France at Gibraltar. This brave officer, who
had appeared sincerely indignant and annoyed at the
disgraceful conduct of his subordinates, has hastened,
as he promised, to stigmatise them publicly."
The Algerie contains a few particulars of the
manner in which the pacific termination of the war
between France and Morocco was brought about.
The account is as follows :
" The Pacha of El Araich, Sidi Bou Sellam, made
the first overtures of peace. He wrote on the sth, in
the name of the Emperor, a letter full of friendly protes-
tations, and in which ho declared that his master, who,
notwithstanding the hostilities, had not ceased to be
our friend, was disposed to subscribe to all the condi-
tions. The Consul-General of Naples, M. Martineau,
undertook to carry this letter to the Prince de Joinville.
He embarked on board the Var steamer, and arrived at
Cadiz on the 6th instant. Sidi Bou Sellam had already
given too many proofs of his duplicity for the Admiral to
place entire faith in his letter. The Prince therefore
ordered M. Warnier, who had been the bearer of
the French ultimatum to Sidi Bou Sellam, to go to
Tangiers and verify his powers. The Cuvier left Cadiz
on the evening of the 6th with M. Warnier and M. Mar-
tineau, and arrived in the roadstead of Tangiers on the
7th. M. Martineau alone landed, and found the Kaid on
the shore waiting to receive his orders. At nine o'clock,
the Pacha arrived in town from the camp, and went with
the Kaid to the Neapolitan Consul, who shortly after-
wards hoisted a signal which had been agreed upon. M.
Warnier immediately landed, and was received by the
local authorities, civil and military. There was a line of
troops in pretty good order formed from the landing-
place to the Casbah. Sidi Bou Sellam received M.
Warnier like an old acquaintance. When M. Warnier
stated that he had come to verify the powers which Sidi
Bou Sellam said he had received, the latter expressed
his regret at not having applied to the Emperor for a
special letter to this effect ; but in order to obviate a
difficulty which the distance at which the Emperor was
would otherwise render irreparable, the :Pacha
affirmed by a document in due form, and written in the
presence of witnesses, that he had received orders to treat
with the French Plenipotentiary. According to the
usages of the Mussulmans, the word orders, which the
Pacha made use of, signifies that the person who nego-
tiates in the name of the Prince is charged with full
powers, and relieved from all responsibility. M. War-
nier and Sidi Bou Sellam separated on the most friendly
terms, and at two the Cuvier returned to Cadiz. The
document given by the Pacha attesting the mission with
which be was charged appeared sufficient to our nego-
tiators. On the 9th the squadron quitted Cadiz, and
arrived at Tangiers. On the 10th, at ten in the morn-
' ing, the Kaid Abbou, Governor of Tangiers, went ova
board the Suffren, to renew the demand for peace, in the
name of Sidi Bou Sellam. The Prince received the Raid
with distinction, for he is a brave soldier, who, on the
6th of August, was appointed governor of the town and
chief of the garrison by public acclamation. The Prince
presented him with a pair of pistols, as a sovenir of our
attack and his courageous defence. At two o'clock, M.
Warnier, accompanied by some officers, landed, and pre-
sented the treaty, which was accepted by Sidi Bou
Sellam. A signal was immediately hoisted at the Nea-
politan Consulate. MM. de Glucksburg and de Nyon
then landed, and went to the palace of the Governor,
where, at five in the evening, they signed the treaty
with Sidi Bou Sellam. Our flag was then hoisted at
the French Consulate, and saluted with a discharge •f
21 guns."
The Moniteur Parisien gives the following from
Algiers :
" The garrison of Djidjelli had for some days been
expecting an attack, for the Chiekh of the Zeramchas
had stated on the 22d ult., that the Kabyles would un-
dertake to carry off the flock when it should be sent to
graze outside the lines. On the 26th, at break of day,
some Beni Kaids, and other Kabyles of the four frac-
tions who had obtained authority to come to market,
were installed in their usual place, when suddenly Lieut.
Ferrand arrived, and stated that as he was going to the
lime quarry he was nearly carried off by a party of 200
Kabyles in ambuscade. Being on horseback, he made
his escape under a general fire, and happily no ball hit
him. The commandant immediately took the field, and
by ten o'clock the Kabyles had fled. We lost only one
man in this affair, but the enemy had several men killed
and wounded. All the Kabyles, forty in number, who
were at the market were retained prisoners, until the
30th, when the Cheikhs of the fourteen fractions of the
Beni Kaids came up and claimed them, and they were
given up on the payment of fines, and a solemn promise
to pay up their arrears of tribute."
The Akbar of Algiers, of the 12th, mentions a
report that ABD-EL-KADER and his family and fol-
lowers are established_ in the valley of Wad-el-Azha,
between Ouchda and Tazah, about twenty leagues
from the frontiers of Algeria.
Accounts are also stated to have been received at
Toulon from Oran, dated the 13th. The news of
the treaty of peace had not yet arrived there, but on
the 11th General LAMORICIERE received from the son
of the SULTAN a request for a suspension of arms, with
an assurance that peace was on the point of being con-
cluded.

The .Afrique states that Marshal BUGEAUD is soon to
come to Paris. Six Arab chiefs are also shortly to
visit Paris at the expense of the Government. The
object of the visit (says the Afrique) is to let them
judge of the power of the country by which they have
been subjected,

" Another English ship," sayS also the above quoted
Algerie,"has been cannonaded by the Moors l It is the
, third time in the ten days that the British flag receives
such an insult on the coast of Morocco. The English
steamer Sydenham, on arriving off Vibat, on the 3d inst.,
was received there, not with some isolated cannon shots,
as the Vesuvius had a fewdays before, but with a shower
of shots, which did her so much damage that she was
obliged to return to Gibraltar in order to repair it. This
third cuff applied to the British flag, seems to denote an
intention quite clear enough,"
The Siecle has a long article on Lord PALMER..
STON'S proposed visit to Paris, which, it contends,
must be connected with politics, more especially as
he has expressed an 'intention of visiting Louis
PHILIPPE. The S'iecle then calls upon the Cabinet
to keep on its guard. Lord PALMERSTON thinis that I
the Tories are tottering, and that the Whigs may I
soon baVe A ague of recovering office • but he

knows that an Administration openly hostile to
France would have public opinion against it in Eng-
land, and he is, therefore, coming to make his peace
with Louis PHILIPPE and his Ministers.

"We wish," adds the Siecle, " that there may remain
of this step but the recollection of a sort of amende
honorable made to the Prince, who represents France, by
the Whig Minister who betrayed the French alliance
and revived against us the evil feelings, as well as evil
designs, of the coalition."

The aggressive spirit of " perfide Albion" is the
subject of comment in the Constitutionnel, which
views with alarm the progress of our settlements in
the Bay of Honduras.

" The progress of England does not stop, and each
day she extends her power and her commerce in some"
new point of the globe. It would tire one to enume-
rate all her enterprises. She is attempting the con-
solidation of the subjection of India, and she is
trying to establish herself in the island of
Borneo. She is increasing her commerce in the Chinese
seas, where she has just established herself; and in New
Holland she has recently joined Port Islington (Essing-
ton?) to her establishments. Without the fear of
a rupture with the United States, the British flag would
at present float over the Sandwich Islands. On the
eastern coast of Africa Port Natal and Victoria are ac-
quisitions not to be despised, and will not fail to become
the centre points of considerable colonies. In the
neighbourhoood of the Red Si. a the mission of Major
Harris to the Kingdom of Shoa, explored originally by
the French, will open a new market to the commerce
of Great Britain. But as if so many different under-
takings were not sufficient for her ambition and her ac-
tivity, she pursues without cessation her progress in the
sea of the Antilles. It is not merely from yesterday
that Great Britain has fixed her attention on the rich
countries which this sea washes. For more than a cen-
tury she possesses on the coast of Honduras an import-
ant establishment. The colony of Belize, at the mouth of
the river of that name, has a vast territory. It is from
Belise that come four-fifths of the mahogany annually
imported into England. The English find there cochineal,
dye-woods, and sarsaparilla; cotton and the sugar cane
grow there naturally, and almost without culture. But
Belize is, above all, important as the storehouse of the
English products, which are distributed through Central
America. The annual movement of this port is estimated
at upwards of 20,000 tons. Up to the moment that the
Spanish colonies separated from the mother country, the
situation of the English on the coast of Honduras was
precarious, disputed, uncertain; but scarcely had Cen-
tral America formed herself into a federative republic,
independent of Spain, when England commenced her
accustomed career of encroachment. She has succes-
sively enlarged her territory at Belize, and stretch-
ing to the south has taken possession of the most
important points of the coast.. In this way she has
seized on the island of Ruatam, in the Bay of Honduras,
and purchased from an Indian chief for a few puncheons
of rum a vast extent of country. Several establisments
have been founded on this coast by a company, with
the authorisation of the English Government, and in con-
tempt of the complaints of that of Central America.
Finally, for the last two months, the British flag floats
over the walls of Blewfields. A man-of-war arriving at
Belise landed a governor, soldiers vrms, and took pos-
session of the town and port. This town, whose exist-
ence is revealed to Europe by this sudden act, is at but
little distance from St. Jean de Nicaragua, which the
English continue to blockade, and which is the most im-
portant port of Central America. Here then is England
on the point of being mistress of all this coast, studded
with so many ports placed between the two Americas,
and destined to be opened one day to unite the two
oceans. This progress takes place in the midst of peace,
without pretext. Let it not be imagined that the con-
quest can be looked on in the same light as the Mar-
quesas, Otaheite, and the islets which are disputed to
us with so much clamour and perseverance. Few coun-
tries have been more liberally endowed by nature, and
offer a richer and vaster field to human industry. The
interior contains a population of several millions of in-
habitants, which the want of manufactures renders ne-
cessarily dependent on foreign produce. Heaven only
knows what a rich empire England will found in time
in Central America."

It would appear from the following, that the phy-
sical difficulties, in the way of the formation of a ship
canal across the Isthmus of Darien, are almost if not
quite insuperable :
" We are credibly informed," says the Courrier Fran-
cais, " that the hopes entertained with regard to the
piercing the isthmus of Panama have not been realised.
M. Gazella has returned to France, after having explored
the isthmus, and ascertained that the point at which the
junction between the two seas was contemplated was not
ten metres (30 feet) above the level of the sea, as stated
by the Franco-Grenada Company, but 125 metres (375
feet); so that instead of a mere trench, and a canal with-
out a sluice, or, in other words, an artificial strait, which
was deemed practicable from the survey of the engineers
of the company, the canal to be opened at the point of
junction would require upwards of 60 sluices. M. Ga-
zella is a distinguished engineer of the mining depart-
ment, and had been sent by the French Government to
explore the isthmus, and verify the levels taken by the
surveyors employed by the above company."

THIS DAY S NEWS.

BOROUGH OF MARYLEBONE RE-

GISTRATION—(THIS
(Before C. D. MOYLAN, Esq.)
John Edward Chapman, of 47, Foley-street, applied to
have his name reinstated in the list of voters for the
All-Souls district. It appeared that his name had been
objected to by the Conservatives, on the ground that he
was not the occupier, but the landlord of the house. He
did not attend to oppose the objection, as he did not
know until yesterday that the list of voters for the
borough was undergoing revision. He said he was the
landlord of the house in question, and that it was let out
to lodgers. He retained a back parlour in which there
was a bed and other furniture, and in that room he slept
occasionally. He had paid all the taxes, and appre-
hended that his name ought to be retainei on the list.
The REVISINGBARRISTER reinstated Mr. Chapman's
name.

Thomas Smith was objected to by Mr. Greenwood.
Smith said he occupied a second floor at No. 6, Great
Carlisle-street. The landlord did not reside in the
house, which was let out in separate tenements. He paid
ss. 6d. per week. The person who occupied the ground-
floor paid the taxes.
Smith said he served a claim at the house of Mr. Mick,
one of the overseers, on the 25th of June. This vote
was objected to on the ground that the poor-rates were not
paid at the time of his making his claim.
The REVISING BARRISTER said he would take time to
consider the question.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Deputy-Judge ADAMS and a Bench of
Magistrates.)
This morning, at the sitting of the Court, Mr. Payne
presented articles of the peace on beealf of Mrs. Eliza-
beth Wall, landlady of the Britannia Tavern, Back-
road-street, St. George's-in-the-East, against John Fea-
therstone, a seafaring man, of very superior address, and
having highly respectable connexions in Birmingham.
Mr. Prendergast appeared for the prisoner.
After a brief discussion between Mr. Payne and Mr.
Prendergast, the Court ordered the prisoner to find bail,
himself in 801., and two sureties of 40/. each.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
An elderly man named Lewis Creasy, was brought
before Mr. Jardine, charged with being drunk and
dancing in Bow-street. The officer proved the case.
Prisoner—Dear me, Sir, dancing is so very incon-
sistent with my general character that I can hardly be-
lieve that I could be guilty of such folly.—(Laughter.)
Mr. JARDINE—WeII, but what do you say to being
drunk ? Prisoner—Why, Sir, the fact, is I met an
Italian yesterday, who said he knew me about thirty
years ago, in Milan. How true that is I don't know ;
and he gave me some drink, more, in fact, than nature
required.
Mr. JARDINE—What are you ? Prisoner—l am by
profession a teacher of languages, but, owing to my ap-
pearance, which partly arises from necessity and partly
from my own neglect, I am not patronised as I used to be.
Mr. JARDINE—WeII, I hope this will be a lesson to
you. You have been locked up all night, and, therefore,
you may be discharged now.
Prisoner—l sincerely thank your worship.
He then left the Court, bowing all the way.
