Mostaganem, P
to avn,"

—ou-DIAzA, however, had moved away in time

an attack. General DE Bours.rowr also gives an
account of the conflict with Bou-Maza near Mostaganem,
but the main facts of this affair have already been made
public. The Arabs before they retired are said to have
had at least 40 killed ; the French had 12 men killed
and 10 wounded. General Da BOUR.TOLLY speaks in very
high' terms of the conduct of Colonel MELLINET in this
affair. There is a report from Colonel DE SAINT ARNAUD
dated as long back as the 11th ult.,- and giving the details
of several affairs of little importance, but in which the
French displayed their usual energy and courage. Co-
lonel MELLINET'S account of the affair of Mostaganem,
which is dated the 18th, has arrived with the reports
above mentioned. It appears that the Colonel attacked
Bou-Maz-t with forces very inferior indeed to those of the
enemy, and drove him off after killing several of his men."
The Journal des Debats, in commenting on the intelligence,
considers that ABD• EL-KADER has no idea of attempting to
reconquer the whole country, or even make a stand in the
province of Oran, but to lead away with him into Morocco
the greatest possible number of tribes, in order to form for
himself there a new state and army. This is not probable;
but, nevertheless, the Ministerial journal thus reasons on the
supposition :
" Abd-el-Kader has still a further object. For a long time his
presence has been extremely irksome to the Court of Morocco,
which has begun to form corps of regular troops in Fez, under in-
structors brought from Egypt, in order to maintain its authority.
Abd.el-Kader has well comprehended that these preparations were
being made against him, and he is now endeavouring to place
himself in a position to treat with the Morocco Court as one
power with another. He will IS longer consent to be considered
as a banished man, followed only by his deice, but as a Sultan,
surrounded by bis people, and having an army at his command.
From this grave political complications may result. At present the.
first object is to re-establish firmly on our territory that authority
which has been momentarily shaken, and to chase the Emir out of
it, and restore the people who have revolted to subjection and
peace. We are in the right way to accomplish this—our generals
and soldiers are redoubling their devoted endeavours to serve
France, and she and her Government will not hesitate to furnish
our army in Africa with all the means required to maintain our
conquest and the honour of our nation."

Mr. WAGILORS'S arrival in London with the India mail,
by the way of Trieste and Germany, has caused some ex.
citement at Paris, and cannot fail to have the best pos-
sible effect in improving the French Post-office system_ A
Government journal leads us to believe that such will be the
result :

" The India snail, which arrived at Trieste on October 23, was
conveyed to Manheim in 84 hours; it was immediately taken on
by a Cologne steamer, which was waiting for it. At Cologne, a
special train carried It to Ostend, whence a steamer conveyed it up
to Dover, and a special train took it up to London. We shall no
doubt soon receive precise Information en this subject; but we
consider it our duty to point out at present the great importance of
this measure, as far as relates to the transit through France. When
the railroad to Marseilles shall be finished, all competition by any
other line will be impossible, but, in the meantime, it is highly im-
portant that France should enter on such indispensable improve-
ments, particularly in the quarantine system, as shall insure the
superiority of her communications. We are fully convinced that
the Government will pay attention to the subject."

The Constitutionnel devotes somewhat more space than the
other journals to Mr. Waghorn's attempt, and concludes with
these remarks : •

" We must observe to our Government that it is of the
first importance so to organise our Mediterranean steam.packets
that their departures from Alexandria, when they have mails to
tarry, shall not be preceded by any otherconveyanee; and further,
that it is urgent that the Northern and the Paris and Lyons Rail.
ways should be finished with the utmost expedition "

We quote, with much satisfaction, from the same paper,
some remarks on an article which appeared in The Sun last
week, because it shows that the offensive sentiments ex-
pressed in certain London journals, relative to the French, are
not regarded by that able organ of the Liberal party as the
sentiments of the English people, and that all they want is
to live with us at peace on honourable terms. "We have
always believed," says the Constitutionnel, "the English
nation a stranger to the hostile sentiments expressed occa-
sionally towards France in some of the London journals, and
when we have been compelled to protest against the insinua-
tions or against the violence of a portion of the English
press, we have separated the nation from the journals of
which these pretend to be the organs, and refused to admit
them as the true representatives of public opinion. We are
more convinced than ever that we are right in this view, and
can adduce, as evidence, a certain portion of the London
press itself. Whilst some continue to accuse France
of wishing to conquer Morocco, and are afflicted that we have
an incontestible right to make war on ABDEZRAILNIAN, The
Sun, to the moderation of which journal we have mere than
once rendered justice, protests against the course pursued by
some of its Contemporaries, and turns into ridicule that
mania for declaiming against the encroachments of the
French in Morocco, the East, Greece, and the Pacific Ocean.
Then referring to Chusan, it treats with severity insinuations
which certain parties dare not avow, the indirect advice
given to the English Government to keep possession of
Chusan in spite of treaties, and thus justify the accusation
made against the good faith of England. It is above all in-
dignant that they should make a pretended project of France
as argument for compelling the Chinese to cede Chusan."
The writer then quotes an extractfrom the article in question.
We subjoin a few miscellaneous paragraphs from the
papers.—

" M. de Lascours, It is reported, has at last accepted the ap
pointment of Minister of War, Marshal Soult still remaining Pre-
sident of the Council and Protector of the War Department.

" We read in the Courrier de Marseille :—‘ We believe we
may announce positively that the Government has conceived it
to be necessary to send further reinforcements to Africa, and that,
Instead of 12,000, it will send 20,000 men before the month of
February. This leads to a supposition that our troops will not
enter Morocco before the spring, and that between this and then
our military operations will be confined to restraining the popula.
tion of Algeria. In thi meantime negotiations will be opened
With the Emperor Abderrhaman, in the hope of inducing him to
carry into execution the principal clauses of the treaty of Tan-
giers.'
" The Park says The explanations of M. de Marcillac,
Prefect of the Dordogne, on the subject of the publication of
Marshal Bugeaud's letter, have been found satisfactory, as we learn
that M. de Marmllae has returned to his post.'
" M. Berryer has just received an invitation from the Duke, de
Bordeaux to be present at the marriage of bis sister, on the 10th
of November."

DEATHS IN ST. GEORGE'S HOsPiTAL-11r. Bed-
ford last evening held three inquests at St. George's Hospital.
The first was on John Evans, aged twenty. seven. The deceased
left Chertsey on Sunday night, in perfect health, with a cart con-
taining calves. The next morning he was eery ill in his cart, in
the Regent-circus, and died before he could be got to the hospital.
As the surgeon could not state
positively the cause of death, the
inquiry was adjourned, in order to analyse the contents of the
stomach. In the second case, that of John Trusty. aged forty.
three, it appeared he worked for Mr. Forster, market gardener, of
Kensington. On the Slit of October he was walking by the side
of a horse and cart to the grounds, when he became giddy, and
fell down, the wheel passing over his neck. The injuries were so
great that he died on the Ist inst. Verdict—Accidental death.
The third inquest was on the body of John Quin, aged four, who
lived with his mother, at 4, Eaton-court, Eaton-lane. On Wed-
nesday night, at eight o'slock, his mother went out and left a lu-
el fer on the hob. The deceased,
in her absence, lighted It, and set
his clothes on fire. lie was so frightfully burned that be died
the same night. Verdict—Accidental death.
Fires were lighted in two of the furnaces at
Witton-park Iron-works, on Saturday last, and a third furnace
will be shortly ready. The proprietors, Messrs. Bolckow and
Vaughan, only commenced the works in the middle of July last,
and the three furnaces are expected to be in full blast about Christ-
mai. The iron-stone is to be supplied principAlly from Weardale. i
Other furnaces are in course of erection at Towlay by Charles 1
Attwood, Esq.—Nesecastle Journal.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sine cf List
Night.
There was very little done in Cotton at. Liverpool yester-
day :—sales, 1,200 bales. The market was very dull, but
prices were not lower. There was very little done in Shares,
which were getting lower.
A case decided in the Court of Admiralty yesterday (that
of the Westminster) has been a subject of conversation in
commercial circles this morning. The Learned Judge (Dr.
laishington) has, by the judgment, set aside what has been
considered a settled point, that vessels going through the
Torres Straits should go in pairs, and aid one another
in case of need. True it is, in this case, the vessel that
aided the Westmiaster off the coral reef, upon which
she had struck, had on board a cargo worth, as stated, not
less than 10,0001.; but it is apprehended that thatuseful prac-
tice of vessels in company assisting, where the danger is
common to both, acknowledged to be such, of reciprocating
good feeling in such dangerous positions as the Torre,.
Strait,:.—the acknowledged rule and custom of vessels aiding
each other in the whale fishery, so long established, except
under the, most extraordinary circumstances,, without env
claim being made for salvage service, should not be brought
as against weners in the High Court of Admiralty.
The West India produce market has improved much in
the full expectation that the distillation from grain will be
prohibited by Order in Council. Sugars are still on the ad-
vance to-thy.
The Funds are lower again to-day, and there has been a
good deal of excitement and fluctuation. Consols have been
down to 954'now" and are up again to 90A. For time
the range has been nearly the same. Exchequer-bills have
been marked 30s. to 355. premium, and India Bonds under
1,0001..505. premium. Bank Stock has been worth 203% to
204 I . New T hree-and-a-Qtuater per Cents have realised 961 i
to 974.
There has been very little doing in the foreign house, and
the transactions are at about the previous rates. Spanish
Five per Cents. are 27%, and the Deferred 1514 ; Mexican
Bonds have been 31%.
Railway Shares are depressed.
