FDWARD PRICE and CO. beg respectfully
to request that all parties wishing to purchase their COMPO-
SITE CANDLES will ask In the shops simply for " Price's Patent
Candles." Since theseliave attracted public attention, many Imita-
tors have made candles, and called them by the name " Composite,"
used by Edward Price and Co.; but the process by which the real
Composite Candles are made, being a patent one ; and E. P. and Co.
granting no licenses, none of these imitation candles are at all the
same as the real ones. The chief, properties of these latter are their
binning, without snuffing, more brilliantly than the best wax, and
their affording so large an amount of light, that they are cheaper,
taking this into account, than the commonest tallow candles, one of
them giving the light of three ordinary moulds. They may be had of
most of the respectable tallow-chandlers throughout the kingdom, and
are supplied to the trade wholesale by Edward Price and Co., Bel-
mont, Vauxhall ; and by Palmer and Co., Sutton-street, Clerkenwell.

THE ULTIMATUM OF FRANCE,
AND THE EMPEROR OP MOROCCO'S REPLY.

We find in the Algtlrie the following details rela-
tive to circumstances which brought about the reply of
the Sultan of Morocco to the ultimatum of France
The Phare arrived off El Araich in the morning
of the 25th. The sea.was rough, and the captain of
the port, who usually boards every vessel that arrives,
to demand the motives of her visit, was some time
waited for. Seeing that he did not make his appear-
ance, the captain of the Phare lowered a boat, :and
the envoy of the Prince de Joinville, accompanied by
M. Balaroufa, an Algerine pilot, 'landed on a rock
at the foot of a battery. Some Morocco soldiers
came down to ask what the Frenchmen wanted,
when a letter was given them for the Pacha, in
which M. Warnier informed him that he was
the bearer of dispatches for him, but that he
should not come into the town until hostages,
mentioned in the communication, had been sent
on board the steamer. The Pacha immediately
sent his first secretary, the Amin of the
Marine, and the Kaid of Mechouar, who commanded
the garrison. M. Warnier and •M. Balaroufa then
went down on the beach, in spite of the violence
of the surf, but when the hostages were requested
to get into the boat, they excused themselves
in consequence of the roughness of the sea.
M. Warnier insisted, and threatened to return on
board. The se rretary wrote to the Pacha his
master to consult him on the subject of this dif-
ficulty, but the letter had scarcely been sent off when
M. Warnier decided on going himself to
.the Pa.-ha,
accompanied by the pilot. The inhabitants formed a
line, through which the French envoy passed, and
the Pacha received him with marked distinc-
tion. M. Warnier handed him the ultimatum of
France, and commented on it verbally. The Pacha
sent off a courier to the Emperor. There was no
time to be lost, for the utmost delay granted by
the ultimatum would expire on the 2d August.
As the Consul-General, in the dispatches delivered
by M. Warnier, demanded immediate permission
for the embarkation of all the French who were
at Tangier, with their property, the Pacha did not
hesitate, and, under the dictation of M. Warnier him-
self, wrote to the Khalifa at Tangier to allow the
French envoy to act on this subject as he might
think proper. The Pacha had also given a similar
authority, on the previous evening, to the Neapolitan
consul, who had come to El Araich in the Hecla. He
also expressed his desire to see the unhappy diffe-
rences existing between the two countries removed.
At six o'clock in the evening the Phare again got
under weigh, to return to the 'French squadron. On
the 2d of August the ultimatum of France would
expire, and on the previous evening the envoys of
the Emperor arrived at Tangier, announcing that
peace was assured; but these same envoys hastened
to remove everything that was valuable, and, above
all, the public treasure. The inhabitants fled from
the town, carrying
off their wives, their children,
their slaves, and all their riches, into the mountains.
A report was also current that a price had been put
upon the head of the Governor of Tangier, doubtless
on account of his having allowed the consuls and
their countrymen to embark ; that the Pacha of La-
rache had also been compelled to take refuge in the
inviolable asylum of the Marabout Bon-Sell= ; and
that the Kaid of Rabat, who was too much a friend to
peace, had fled at the approach of the Emperor, and
that the mountaineers had entered and pillaged that
town as soon as the Sultan had left it. The moun-
taineers had arrived in crowds at the gates of
Tangier, demanding admission ostensibly to protect the
place,
findbut in realitynothing o to pillage it; they would, how-
ever, take, for the Moors had so well
not
profited by our forbi-arance, that the place mig'it now
be burnt without causing them the slightest regret.

DINNER TO SIR W. NOTT AND SIR R. SALE.
On Wednesday the Court of Directors of the Hon. East
India Company gave a grand entertainment to Sir W.
Nott and Sir R. Sale, the far-famed heroes of Aff-
gbanistan.
The dinner took place at the London Tavern, Bishops-
gate-street, and in all its appointments was highly credit-
able to the taste, the skill, and the abounding resources
of Messrs. Bathe and Breach's admirably conducted es-
tabl is liment. .

At each corner of the dining-room, behind the Chair-
man, and at the opposite extremity of the hall, were
ranged sideboards of massive gold and silver-gilt plate,
consisting of gigantic, costly, and elaborately- chased
vases, shields, and cups. On the principal cross. table
and immediately before the lion. Chairman was placed
a magnificent golden plateau, while on the three longi-
tudinal tables were displayed numerous gilt 'candelabra,
;rases, goblets, and a profusion of other plate, which gave
to the entertainment an extremely rich, if not dazzling
character.
The gallery at the lower end of the room was set
apart on one side for the ladies, among whom were Lady
Sale and her daughter, Mrs. Strutt, with Lady Nott and
the Misses Nott, who were most loudly cheered on their
entrance. The other " portion of the gallery was occu-
pied by a full military band, which played many favourite
pieces of music during dinner, and at intervals through-
out the evening. -

Sir W. Nott was unfortunately unable to attend, in
consequence of severe indisposition.
Grace was said before and after dinner, by the Rev.
Mr. NOTT.

The cloth having been removed,
The CHAIRMAN rose to propose the first toast. In
doing so, he could not propose the national sentiment
without adverting to the late happy and auspicious event
which had excited feelings of joy and gratitude among
all classes of her Majesty's subjects.:---(Cheers.) It be-
came us, not only as a nation, but as individuals, to be
thankful to Divine Providence for the safety of her Ma-
jesty, and her happy delivery of a Prince.—(Cheers.)
This feeling, he knew, pervaded the length and breadth
of the land, and he might add, a feeling of devoted
loyalty and attachment to the Crown and her Majesty's
person.—(Cheers.) He begged leave to propose, with
three times three, the "Health of her Majesty the
Queen." •
The toast was drunk with the accustomed honours,
the band playing the national anthem.
The CHAIRMAN next proposed the " Health of her
Majesty the Queen Dowager," who had many claims on
our respect, regard, and esteem. That illustrious lady,
ever since she was known to England, had exhikited, not
only in public but in private life, a brilliant example of
charity and benevolence, and in assemblies like the pre-
sent her name was sure always to be received with the
most cordial marks of esteem.—(Drunk with three times
three.) .
The next toast proposed by the Chairman was, the
"Health of his Royal Highness Prince Albert," who, as
consort of our beloVed Queen, was entitled to our warm •
est and most affectionate regard, and who had conducted
himself, since he came to this country, in a manner to
conciliate and secure the respect and approbation of all
her Majesty's subjects. He begged to couple with the
health of his Royal Highness that -of the Prince of
Wales and the other members of the Royal Family.—
(Three times three.)
The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the next toast, said he
felt it wholly unnecessary to dilate on the merits of the
naval and military profession, whose services, as the
brave defenders of the country, were always sure to
command the feelings of admiration and gratitude in the
breast of every Englishman. On the part of the East
India Company he could not forget their peculiar claims
to respect and admiration. With the great services of
the army he could not help associating the name of that
illustrious chief who had never led it in the field but to
honour and victory.—(Cheers.) He perceived it was
only necessary to make the slightest allusion to the
Duke of Wellington to insure the most enthusiastic re-
ception to the sentiment he was about to propose ; it,
would, therefore, be presumption in him to attempt to
eulogise the character of that illustrious man. " Wel-
lington and Waterloo" would always be the watchwords
for patriotic enthusiasm and exultation while loyalty
existed in the hearts of Englishmen.—(Loud cheers.)
With respect, also, to the other branch of the service to
which they were so much indebted, he had great plea-
sure in noticing among them on the present occasion a
most,promising, gallant, and distinguished young officer
--he meant Lieut. Peel.—(Cheers) If anything were
wanting to keep alive the noble and
.gallant spirit.which
had always characterised the navy, it would be supplied
by the circumstance that the flower of our youth, such
as the son of our ablest statesman, attached themselves
to that profession.—(Loud cheers.) lie had already
alluded to one warrior who combined the talents
of a great military leader with the accomplish-
ments of an eminent statesman ; and a command
at sea was no less fitted to bring forth the great
qualities of an officer than a command on shore. He
had no doubt his gallant young friend, Lieutenant Peel,
would yet do credit to the name he bore, and be an
honour to the country and the service to which he had
attached himself.—(Cheers.) He had almost forgotten,
in speaking of the army, to advert to the presence of a
gallant comrade and companion in arms of his Grace the
Duke of Wellington—Sir George Murray.—(Cheers.)
That gallant officer had fought side by side with .the
great leader of the British army ; and Englishmen not
only valued the leader, but also his comrades.—(Cheers.)
He therefore begged leave to associate the name of Sir
George Murray with the army, and that of Lieutenant
Peel with the navy.—jaoud cheers.)
Sir a MURRAY, who was received with the loudest
cheering, then rose and spoke as follows—lt is always
an honourable office and a grateful duty to a military
man to return thanks for a compliment paid to the pro-
fession to which he has the honour to belong, and it is
more especially so when, both from the manner in which
the toast is given and the reception it has experienced,
it is obvious that the sentiment of the company is deci-
dedly favourable to those who serve their country, either
by sea or land. But on the present occasion, the most
favourable feelings to the army could not fail to be
elicited by the presence of the gallant friend whom I
see on the right of the chair.—(Cheers.) His presence
recals both the services of the army in general, and more
especially the services of that part of the army which
has lately been employed in the East.—(Cheers.) And
when I mention the army employed in the East, I
trust it is perfectly understood that I do not mean
to speak only of European soldiers, but also of those
gallant men born in India—our Indian fellow-sub-
jects, and whom we military men are proud to call
our fellow-soldiers in the field.—(Cheers.) I deeply
regret not to have had the pleasure, and that this Com-
pany in general has not had the satisfaction, of seeing
here this day another gallant officer, particularly distin-
guished in the late campaigns in the East.—(Cheers.)
I regret that indisposition has prevented his attendance
here to-day, because I should have been most happy
myself to have made his acquaintance ; and I should
have been delighted to see him here sharing along with
Sir Robert Sale those feelings of admiration and grati-
tude which are universally felt by his fellow-citizens.—
(Cheers.) But the exploits of those two gallant officers
have been recorded in dispatches, which will be read always
with the highest satisfaction—(Cheers)—containing the
most admirable professional lessons—practical lessons,
infinitely superior to the speculations of theoretical
writers—(Cheers)—in the most practical of all arts, the
art of war.—(Load cheers.) I recommend them to the
perusal, to the study of every military man, that he
may learn from the examples which those dispatches
furnish how to act, should it ever fall to his lot to be in
a situation of equal responsibility and danger—(Cheers)
—surrounded by hostile nations and by barbarous tribes,
remarkable indeed for personal activity and courage, but
still more remarkable—l should rather say, more noto-
rious, for their skill in artifice, and their practice of
treachery—(Loud cheers)—cut off by distance and by
natural impediments, as well as by the enemy, from all
known succour, and having to contend against the
superadded difficulties of the convulsions of nature,
which destroyed the defences which their gal-
lant men had prepared almost as • soon as
they were completed.—(Loud cheers.) But no-
thing could daunt the constancy of Sir W. Nott and Sir
R. Sale—(Cheers)—who, well and duly appreciating the
vast superiority which discipline gives to a trained army
over hordes of barbarians, however numerous and how-
ever individually brave, neither looked to the right nor
the left, but kept that post which their duty called on
them to ocenpy—that course which their own honour
and the welfare of the troops under their command, as
well as the character of their profession and the interests.
and glory of their country, required them to na
—(Cheers.) But these campaigns, have not beeaniTtain.
distin-
guished alone by, their military merit ; they have, been
rendered illustrious also by traits of female hero:sm—
(Great cheering)—which have elicited appro-
bation.--(Continued universal pro-
bation.— is (Continued cheering.) What there for which
we feel greater admiration than when we see combined
with the graces and virtues of the soft.er sex those heroic
sentiments and heroic actions also which give the. highest
dignity and the greatest lustre to our most eminent war-
riors.—(Cheers.)
These are the recollections suggested
to our minds when we turn them .back to those eastern.
tosay that the feelings we
campaigns, and I am happy
so experience are not .the ebullitions 'of the moment -of
victory, but they are permanently engraven on our
minds, as we appreciate the merits of those great men

SINKING OF A VESSEL AND LOSS OF LIFE OFF
GRAVESEND.—On Wednesday an inquiry was instituted
before Mr. Carttar, Coroner, at the Town-hall, High-
street, Gravesend, respecting the death of Mr. William
Jackson, aged 44, master of the Providence sailing
smack, of Milton, near Chatham, who lost his life by
the sinking of that craft, under the following circum-
stances. From the evidence of a lad named James
Buck, an apprentice on board the Providence, it ap-
pears that early on the morning of the 3d inst., as
the above vessel was proceeding down the river with
a cargo of bricks, and when off the Clifton Baths,
close to the Essex shore, a brig was noticed a short
distance a head, and her sails being set, the deceased
imagined that she was under weigh, and beating over
to the opposite shore. Such, unfortunately, was not
the case, she being at anchor at the time, and
before the Providence could be brought up, a
;rho apprentice and his captain instantly

the purpose of saving themselves, but before they could
remove the rope that held her, the Providence gave a
sudden lurch, and went down head foremost, dragging
the boat with her unfortunate occupants down with her.
The crew of the brig rendered the most prompt assist-
ance, and on the lad rising to the surface of the water he
was picked up and saved. The deceased, however, was
never seen afterwards, and the supposition is th-at he
was unable to extricate himself from the wreck. The
Coroner and jury being satisfied that there was no blame
to be attributed to the persons in charge of the brig, a
verdict of " Accidental death" was returned. The wreck
lies in a very dangerous part of the channel, more par-
ticularly at low water, and to prevent any accicrent, the
Brethren of the Trinity House have caused to be placed

and the illustrious achievements they have performed.
—(Loud cheers.) In their gallant exploits they have
been actuated by the principles and guided by the ex •
ample of the noble Duke who is at the head of the
army—(Cheers)—and they have emulated in India
the glorious campaigns of the Peninsula.—(Cheers.)
Such is the gratification we enjoy, and it is with these
feelings that we have cordially and with the strongest
approbation'met under the auspices of the East India
Company to pay a just tribute of gratitude to those who
have served their country with honour and success in
the field.—(Cheers.) For myself, I beg you will receive-
my thanks, and I am sure those of every military man,
for the very handsome manner in which you have been
pleased to speak of the army in general upon this in-
teresting occasion.—(Loud cheers.)
Lieutenant PEEL, in a few briefand appropriate terms,
acknowledged the compliment on behalf of the navy
amidst loud cheers. . _ _

The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the next toast, said his
Right Hon. and Gallant Friend who had just addressed
them had alluded to the absence of one of those distin-
giiished officers whom they all so much wished to see
present on that occesion. He was sorry to say that Sir
W. Nott had returned from India with considerably im-
paired health, and it was very much against his own in
elination, as it was a great disappointment to them all
that he had not been able to be present among them that
evening. But this disappointment would not prevent them
from paying him that compliment to which his eminent
services entitled him,—(Cheers.) Whoever had read
the accounts of the noble conduct of Sir W.
NoW at -.Candahar and - his march to Ghuznee
must recognise in the character of that gallant
officer all the great qualities which went to constitute a
most distinguished general.—(Cheers.) Combining in
his character all that was brave and energetic with
all that was prompt and decisive, they must award to
him the high merit of being the foremost ,to vindicate
our national honour ; while in maintaining the supre-
macy of cur arms, after the temporary but sad revetee
of Caubul, none performed a more gallant and conspi-
cuous part than Sir William Nott.—(Loud cheers.) It
was only necessary to mention the names of Candahar
and Ghuznee to awaken sentiments of the most cordial
respect and admiration for the character of that distin-
guished officer, whose absence, and the cause of it they
all so deeply regretted ; he hoped, however, that his re-
turn to his native land and the grateful reception of his
friends and countrymen would contribute to the restora-
tion of his health, and he would add .his restoration to
the service of his country. He begged them to drink
with three times three to the health of Sir William Nott.
The toast was drunk with all the honours.

The CHAIRMAN immediately afterwards rose to pro-
pose the health of another gallant and distinguished
officer to whom they also owed a deep debt of grati-
tude. Sir Robert Sale had served in India, for a period
of, he believed, forty-five years. • In the records of the
Burmese war the name of Sale was mentioned with dis-
tinction—there he had occupied the post of danger and
of honour ; but it was reserved for the Gallant
General to complete and consummate his fame on the
other side of India. He need not descant on the
many distinguished services he had performed. It
was not necessary he should recal to their re-
collection the successful march 'of Sir Robert Sale
to Jellalabad amidst the most appalling difficulties, and
the heroic defence of that garrison must ever be me-
morable in the annals of our military history.—(Cheers.)
To the indomitable courage, the unflinching determina-
tion, and the unwearied zeal of Sir Robert Sale and his
gallant comrades they were bound to attribute, in a great
d Tree, the ultimately successful termination of the
struggle in Affghanistan.—(Cheers.) They must all
remember well with what intense anxiety they looked
forward to the arrival of every mail for accounts of that
heroic band in the garrison of Jellalabad. Cut off as
they were for a time from all possibility of aid, they
scarcely dared to hope that they .would be able to hold
out. Jellalabad and Candahar were as green spots in
the wilderness ; they looked there for relief, and they
did not look in vain. Sir Robert Sale and his gallant
comrades held the garrison of Jellalabad not only in
defiance of the host of Akbar Khan, but by their brilliant
sallies and the final success of their efforts they proved
that no difficulties, however great,' no surrounding dan-
gers, however extensive and appalling, no enemy, how-
ever numerous and daring, no combination of men, or
even of the elements, could quench the spirit, or crush
the courage and energy of so noble a band.—(Loud
cheers.) It was impossible to mention the name of Sir
Robert Sale without associating with it that of his heroic
lady—(Loud and protracted cheering)—whose noble
constancy, whose heroic spirit, whose never-failing self-
possessiou.exhibited a bright example not only to her
own sex, but to ours, and to all.—(Loud cheers.) He
called on them, then, to drink long life and happiness to
Sir Robert Sale and his distinguished lady.
The toast was drunk-with the utmost enthusiasm.
Sir ROBERT SALE, who was long and loudly cheered
on rising to acknowledge the compliment, said—lt is
with extreme diffidence that I rise to return you my
thanks for the excessive honour •you have done me
this night. To a soldier, you are aware, the thanks of
his countrymen are always the most gratifying honour
that can be paid ; and I feel that compliment especially
valuable coming from an assembly like this. It has been
my fortune to have served in India for many years, and
I can salely vouch that I have bad the honour of com-
manding the troops of the East India Company to my
entire satisfaction.—(Cheers.) Many instances I could
mention in which no body of Europeans in the world
could have shown more devotedness and attachment to
their commanders than the native Sepoy troops.—(Loud
cheers.) Jellalabad has been alluded to—l may say that
a finer corps there is not in the world than were in that
garrison under Colonel Monteith.. I consider them all as
brothers—a more jovial and jolly set I never met with.
—(Loud cheers and laughter.) They all very well knew
that we were in jeopardy, but their determination was,
that if the enemy came it should cost them dearly.—
(Loud cheers.) I beg again to thank you all for the
honour you have done me.—(Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN next proposed the " Health of Sir
Robert Peel and her Majesty's Government." He was
sure they all congratulated that Right Hon. Baronet on
the successful close of a long and laborious session. He
ventured to call it successful, for he thought the best way
of judging of the success of an Administration was by
looking at its practical results, in the high state of
public crecit, so honourable to the Government and the
nation, the maintenance of peace abroad, with increasing
prosperity and tranquillity at home, a recruited revenue,
extended comnierce, and increased national reputation.
These were substantial results which every Englishman
had a right to consider as practical fruits of good go-
vernment, and upon these grounds her Majesty's pre-
sent Government were entitled not only to the thanks,
but the admiration of the country. He begged leave to
propose " The Health of Sir R. Peel and her Majesty's
Government."
The toast was drunk with three times three. _

Sir R. PEEL spoke as follows :—On the part of her
Majesty's Ministers I return you their grateful thanks
for the honour which you have just conferred
.upon
them, and I return also their grateful acknowledgments
to the Directors of the East India Company for having
allowed them to be present on an occasion which is in-
tended to do honour to two gallant officers who have
greatly distinguished themselves by their exploits in
India.—(Cheers.) I deeply regret the absence of one of
her Majesty's servants—of that illustrious man who is
admitted by all to be the first military commander of
the age in which he lives. I should regret his absence
the more if he had not had an opportunity of doing full
justice in hii place in the House of Lords to the merits
of Sir W. Nott and Sir R. Sale, and of passing a judg-
ment upon their military services, which, I doubt not,
has been among the highest distinctions they have
received,—(Loud cheers.) I should regret it the
more if a gallant companion in arms of the
Noble Duke, my Right Hon. Friend Sir George Mur-
ray, the Master-General of the Ordnance, had not in
the absence of the Duke of Wellington occupied that
place which he would have filled in a manner worthy of
the reputation of my Right Hon. Friend.—(Cheers.)
Sir William Nott and Sir Robert Sale have received
high, but not unmerited distinctions. They hmavet.
eh re-
ceivedtheir
marks of gracious acknowledgment from
Sovereign—they have received, on the recommendation
of the Duke of Wellington, the thankstaf the House of
though not
Lords ; and it has been my grateful d
k of their military services,
presumptuous enough to s
as the organ of Governmepnetain__the House of Commons,
to propose to those gallant officers the thanks of the
Commons of England for theirof great military services.
political conflict, within
—(Cheers.) In that arena
those walls which daily resound with acrimonious party
crimination and political debate, I have had the saantidsfeaxc:
tion of seeing all p9litical difference orgo en
tinguished for the time, and one unanimous feeling pre-
'line. to do honour to men,. who} have maintained the
charactervalb and glory of their countr.—(Cheers.) There
btone thing wanting to complete the rewards that
was u ..
had been received by. those distinguished men—that
in the presence of their fellow-subjects, in a company
like this, fairly representing each of the highest
interests of the country—the East India Company,
the Government, the army, the commerce, the manu-
facturing and trading interests of this great commu-
nity—that in a company like this, Sir William Nott and
Sir Robert Sale should receive, in addition to the favour
of the Crown, in addition to the grateful acknowledg-
ments of Parliament, in presence of their fellow-coun-
trymen, the marked demonstrations of public gratitude
which have this night been accorded to them.—(Cheers.)
The absence of one of those eminent men, and the cause
of that absence, we deeply deplore ; but I confess I do
rejoice, and while I live I shall never forget, that I have
been present on this occasion, when Sir Robert Sale has
received these demoastrations.of public gratitude in the
presence of that heroic lady—(Loud che( rs)—who has
shed a double lustre on the name of Sale.--(Repeated
cheers.) We are not merely returning our grateful
.ac-
knowledgments to distinguished men, but we are proving
'to the soldiers and sailors of this country, that if they
;'should be placed in situations .such as those which Sir
I Willian;iNott and Sir Robertßale have.ogeupied, if they,
should be charged with'such grievous responsibilities as
.\
have fallen on them—however distant the scene of ac-
tion, however comparsOvely mull the army they may
