THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 12, 1845.

whether it has not become necessary to reconstitute the
Poor-law Commission on principles, and with powers
more analogous to those of the Constitution and
the common law than those upon which it is, at
present, organized. It seems that on the thirteenth
day of this protracted investigation the gentleman by
whom, on the part of the rate-payer, sit had been pro-
moted, received from Mr. GEORGE COODE, the Assistant-
Secretary of the Poor- law Commissioners, a commu-
nication intimating their opinion, or their command—
it is difficult to determine which of the two it is meant
for—that the inquiry should he immediately terminated,
although, as our rea:lers may be aware, the whole of the
charges had not yet been entered into. But we will en-
deavour to connect the consideration of the letter and a
resume of the principal features of the case in
a plain and intelligible form. In our paper of
yesterday we gave a summary of that case, from which
it will be inferred that, assuming the general truth
of the charges against WDOUGAL, the 'master of
the union-house, which we do hypothetically, and for
the mere purpose of the argument, the man must be
unfit for the office. But this complexion of character
is so far, however, from being very uncommon, among
the class of men who solicit and voluntarily assume em-
ployments of that invidious nature which are necessarily
connected with the restraint and management of
congregated masses of paupers or of prisoners, that
better-minded and comported men, in such positions, are
the exceptions rather than the rule. We have met,
here and there, with an intelligent, humane, and well-
conducted master of an union-house. Union-house
masters, in all respects the reverse, obtrude themselves
at every turn on the reluetant notice of the most casual
observer. They are one of the staples which supply the
large assortment of grievances, always in course of ex-
hibition at our Police-offices and Quarter-sessions in
the country. Such a man it is, if he be unable to rebut
in a court of justice the accusations which he has' been
unable to disprove before a court of inquiry, whom the
act of the Poor-law Commissioners is dragging into an
unwholesome notoriety, a sort of momentary import-
ance, which his name never would have acquired,
had they not thought fit, in the first place, on his
behalf, in the course of the inquiry, to manifest,
through their assistant PARKER, that spirit of
partizanship which is always their besettim; sin ;
and subsequently to cut that inquiry short, so far
as depended upon them to do so, on the score of the in-
convenient length to which the proceedings had run.
If Mr. PARKER exhibited something like incompetency for
his position, Mr. Assistant-Secretary COODE'S epistle to
Mr. WESTLAKE is an exhibition of delinquencies in
grammatical composition, and in logic, such as
would have " broken Pnesciate's head," and con-
fused the analogical acumen of BUTLER himself.
The matter of the letter is of far more consequence
than the manner in which the views of the Somerset
;lerase Commissioners are announced in it. Yet it is so
rare to find a public functionary amenable to the charge
of not being able to write an official dispatch without
eemmitting errors that are shocking to Englishmen, who
retain the prejudices of early education in favour of the
indefeasihie rights of moods and tenses, that we caneut
but express our surprise at the " style" of Mr. COODE.,
The very first sentence in this letter made us doubt
whether we were not once more engaged in the perusal
of one of those lucid reports of another Commission
(now happily defunct) which were wont to announce
the fate of Railway, No. 10, in Group X, or 110, in
Group A. It states that the Commissioners " have had
under consideration the length to which the inquiry at
Andover has already extended," and that the suspense
and outlay, to which botiz pa, ties interested in this in-
quiry have been exposed (as if M‘DouGen and Mr.
WESTLAKE were equally candidates for the former's ap-
pointment) . . . " must be still further incurred, if the
inquiry is continued in the same form. Mr. COODE'S
notions of the distinction between the positive and the
conditional, the subjunctive and the indicative, are the
most vague we have yet met with : and a confusion
proper to that character of vagueness pervades
every passage in which it is necessary to employ the
signs " of the one or the other. Thus—" It
is needless to say that if the master is convicted by
a jury . . . . the Commissioners would at once
dismiss him." "If he is convicted on the second charge,
he becomes disqualified, &c." But now to the matter of the
letter. On the night of Tuesday, the evidence to the
charges of drunkenness, preferred against M'llouGAL,
was gone through. The nature of that evidence, it is
clear from one paragraph in this letter, had been com-
municated to the Poor-law Commissioners the same
night, or early on Wednesday morning. On Wednesday
morning, at an early hour, Mr. WESTLAKE received
their letter, submitting to the rate-payers the " option"
of prosecuting M‘DouGai... Row happened they not
to offer this " option" (trumpery and evasive offer as it
is) at an earlier stage of the proceedings, the protraction
of which their assistant secretary affects so much to
regret. From the very first they had abundance of
charge's of cruelty to go upon—afterwards of scandalous
liberties taken with female paupers ; the charges of
drunkenness had already spread over two or three days,
and were only concluded on Tuesday night last. Is
cruelty so much less a disqualification for the master of
a workhouse in the eyes of the Commissioners than
drunkeness ? Is libidinous solicitation of women under
the care of such a functionary an offence so absolutely
venial as to be altogether unworthy of their notice ?
What is the true secret of the tardy perceptions of the
Assistant Commissioners as to the bearing of the de-
pe&sitions, and of the gravity of the charges ; and of the
precipitancy with which, before the accused can be heard
on his defence, the Assistant-Commissioner and assessor of

the evidence is withdrawn from his post ? And this
brings us to our second hypothesis What if
l‘I.DoucAE should hereafter be able to prove himself
not guilty of the offences imputed to him ? How will
the Somerset House Commissioners answer for the
moral injury they will have done to him, by deserting
him after so distinctly playing, through Mr. PARKER,
the part of his counsel ? And when we speak of
counsel and Mr. PARKER in connexion, we are curious
to learn what Mr. PARKER'S notions may be of
the respect due to members of the bar, or
how he reconciles, with any of the usual
modes of certifying that respect, his abrupt departure
from Andover, without any previous intimation to the
counsel retained by Mr. WESTLAKE of his inability
(under orders from head-quarters) to redeem the pledge
he was under to these gentlemen of concurring in cer•
tain ulterior arrangements that had been made between
them and himself for the future conduct of the case ?
As to the letter of the Assistant-Secretary to the Com-
missioners, it is conceived in a tone of the most patro •
nising superiority. Its evident intention is to throw
upon the board of guardians the onus of the
choice of legal proceeditq_s against M‘DotTGAE.
If Mr. 'WESTLAKE and the Board would be
guided by our advice, we should recommend them,
in the first place, to require an apology from the Com-
m;ssioners for the discourtesy shown to themselves and
to their counsel by Mr. PARKER'S conduct, and, in the
second, DECIDEDLY TO DECLINE the option of prosecu-
tion, obligingly tendered to them by the Commissioners.
Let the guardians leave M'DouGAL's case where it is.
We undertake to predict that the Poor-law Commis-
sioners DARE NOT to do so. It is worth exactly the
tenure of their offices at Somerset House to throw out
such a challenge to public opinion, as to pause at the
point to which they have committed themselves in the
matter.

The Bishop of OSSORY, at his annual visitation, held
last week at Enniscorthy, is reported to have made the
following remark :—" I should rejoice to see the Roman
Catholic clergy provided for by the State, if it could be
done without offending HIM by whom kings! reign ;
but feeling it would be displeasing to HIM, I am bound
to give such a proposition my most energetic
opposition." The Roman Catholics hold nearly the
same opinions of the Church in which this
bishop officiates ; they call it a heretical Church,
a church without the sanction of Divine authority, and a
declared rebel agair.st the faith and canons handed down
by the Apostles. The Free Church of Scotland regards
both these Episcopal churches as unsound in their doc-
trines, and even the Kirk of Scotland, so long famed for
the purity of its creed, and admired as the
brightest essence of the Reformation, it pro-
nounces Erastian and consequently little en-
titled to the support of true Christians. It is
needless to recount the religious opinions of many other
churches, or point out the endless diversity which prevails.
While men are suffered to exercise their private judgment,
and adopt principles of belief consistent in their
opinion with the Scripture, this diversity must necessa-
rily exist, and only proves the weakness of human nature.
But we must protest against such presumptuous preten-
sions as those made by the Bishop of OSSOE.Y. By what
authority does he know the will of " Bum by whom
kings reign ?"—the authority which is open to all—
which is consulted by Catholics and Calvinists, and
Dissenters of all classes, and who are just as
competent to form a correct opinion as a man dressed in
lawn s'eeves and a mitre, who happened to study divinity
at Trinity College, Dublin, or oiti of the English uni-
versities. It is a curious fact that no class rail more
against blasphemy than the clergy, and that none are so
guilty of this deadly sin. Were they to attend to the
divine precepts which they profess to follow, and " judge
not that they be not judged"—were they to practice
that charity which is from above, and love their neigh-
bour as themselves, they would shun, as a heinous

crime, every uncharitable opinion of their fellow-
Christians, and thereby contribute to the accomplish-
ment of one great object of the Divine mission—" Peace
on earth, and good-will among men."

Madrid journals of the 4th have been received, but their
contents had been anticipated by the telegraphic dispatch
published yesterday. The stockbrokers continued their op-
position to the new system of finance adopted by Senor MoN,
but, nevertheless, a good deal of business had been done on
the Bourse, chiefly in the Three per Cents., with much fluc-
tuation. They had fallen at one time, within two days, from
32% to 31, and many anticipated they would yet be lower.
A singular proclamation had been issued at Barcelona by the
new Captain7General of Catalonia, General BRETON, which,
according to the papers, had spread consternation through
that city. The preamble of this bando says, that in the pre-
sent political state of Spain the ordinary laws are too mild
to preserve her from the misfortunes with which she is
threatened, and the articles decree—that all persons who shall
conspire against the Government, the Constitution, or laws,
shall be shot immediately their criminality is proved—that the
use or detention of prohibited arms or weapons, including
sword canes, and pointed knives, even those without springs,
shall be severely punished—that every person without known
means of subsistence, and also workmen who are found in
public-houses during the hours of work, shall be punished
as vagabonds—that all smugglers, with their accomplices
and receivers, shall be severely punished, whatever may be
their condition—that all robbers and thieves shall be
promptly and exemplarily punished—that all gamblers,
whatever may be their position in society, shall be treated
as vagabonds, as well as all keepers of gaming-houses—that
all arms shall be delivered up to the Aleades within three
days, under severe penalties—that the use of bludgeons and
staves is equally forbidden—that in case of any disturbance
all persons in the employ of the Government shall imme-
diately repair to their chiefs, and be at the disposal of the
superior authorities of Barcelona, to be placed in the fort of
Atarazanas, or in any of the other towns and places.

The principal topic of discussion in the Paris papers is the
leasing of the Northern Railway lines. The Journal des
Debats and also the Presse are satisfied with the result.
The former, after expressing regret that the adjudication of
this line had been so long delayed, says :—" All men of right
comprehension will find the terms of the contract satisfac-
tory. The conditions accepted by the Company contain
clauses equally favourable to the State and the public. As
to the period of thirty-eight years, one word will be sufficient
to bring conviction of its moderation. The Chamber thought
it was too short, and suggested forty-one years, yet the Com-
pany has acceded to this very term which the Chamber re-
jected. This fact alone is at once a reply to all that the spirit
of party or bad faith may advance. In fine, in our opinion,
there is every reason for congratulation in every respect on
the conclusion, which places an undertaking so vast as this
railroad in the hands of a Company whose power and solidity
no one can dispute. This is what was required above all
things for the security of the public, the interest of the State,
and the benefit of the finances." "It is probable," adds the
Presse, " that if the fusion of the companies had not taken
place, the ardour of competition might have produced a di-
minution of a few years more. But would there have been
a serious company ? Would there have been any guarantee
against the inexplicable variatioes of the Bourse, against
panics of shareholders, against the evil chances that may
assail any enterprise of this importance and duration ? It is
not too much to entertain doubts on the subject. In this
point of view sensible and practical men will not regret that
union has taken place, even should it cost a few years addi-
tional to the State, which besides always profits indirectly by
the prosperous working of railroad lines." The National,
however, takes a very different view, and asserts that the
public have been robbed of an annual revenue of more than
half a million sterling for 38 years by the blundering and
stupidity of the Minister of Public Works. It thus endea-
yours to make good the charge :

" The comparison of the two adjudications which took place yes-
terday within a few minutes of each other is worthy of note. For
the northern line, M. de Rothschild had no competitor; the Mi-
nister alone had the power of forcing a serious reduction. In this
position what has taken place ?—a diminution, scandalously irn-
perceptibl,.. For the Fampeux line, on the contrary, there was a
serious competitor, and M. de Rothschild entered on it boldly,
offering a diminution of 37 years from 75! And yet, notwith-
standing this enormous reduction, the adjudication slipped from
him, and fell to the lot of his rival, still bolder than he. Thence
follows this consequence, evident, undeniable, and clearer than the
light of day—that if there had been for the northern line a
competition of any kind whatever, if the Minister had thought
fit to place in his sealed packet anything but the mockery of
a maximum, M. de Rothschild would have consented to a consi-
derable reduction. Since he offered to take for half the time
fixed by the Chamber the Fampoux line, which every one declared
to be unproductive, he would certainly have taken the northern
line also for half the maximum fixed by the Chamber, or 21 years,
giving, as it is sure to do, the large rettlrns that every one knows.
The difference between 21 and 38 is 17, and it is, therefore, 17
years' income that the Minister of Public Works has gratuitously,
in other words, voluntarily abandoned. It is an annual revenue
of eleven millions, according to his own calculation; of 121 ac-
cording to that of the Committee; of 13i according to our com-
putation; that he has gratuitously, in other words, voluntarily
given up to MM. de Rothschild and his associates. Yes, if the
Minister of Public Works had done his duty; if; in conformity
with the positive wishes of the Chamber, he had called forth the
competition which was wanting ; if, at least, he had not placed in
his pocket the faculty of reduction intrusted to his honour, the
State would not have suffered the enormous loss which it now suf-
fers; it would have effected a saving of about 200 millions, which
are now going to swell the enormous fortune of certain opulent in-
dividuals."

VAUXHALL.—We were yesterday eveninz present
here at the rehearsal of an exhibition of Poses Plastiques, under
the superintendence of Herr Keller, of Berlin, the perfor,cances of
whose troupe have met with distinguished and well.merited suc-
cess in the principal capitals of Europe. They consist of a series of
embodiments, by living figures, of sosre of the classic groups of
ancient and modern art; among which we may specify Belisarius,
Hector and Andromache, Ajax struck by the Lightning,
Van Harlem's Massacre of the Innocents, David's Sabine',
Capaneus struck by the Lightning, Cain and Abel, &c. &c. The
effect of these tableaux cleans is very striking; the forms of some
of the female exhibitants are fine, and M. Keller himself is quite
a study for the artist ; his attitudes are perfectly classical ; there
is nothing exaggerated or strained about them, and the expres.
sion of his face is perfectly in unison with the sentiment he has
to depict.

SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—Our attention
has been called to a letter, signed J. Van Amburgh, which ap-
peared in the Morning Post of this day, and which states that the
two lions which have been recently added to the collection at these
gardens are the property of Mr. Van. Amburgh, and will be re-
moved to America in a few days. We have authority to
contradict this statement in the most unqualified manner.
The lions are the property of Mr. Tyler, the proprietor of the
gardens, who purchased :them, by auction, a short time since.
Moreover, Mr. Van Amburgh, the alleged writer of the letter is at
present in America, and the very lions referred to are now to be
seen at the Surrey Gardens.
DEATH OF COLONEL CROMWELL MASSEY.—On the
Bth instant died, at St. Lawrence, Ramsgate, aged 103, Colonel
Cromwell Massey, late of the Hon. East India Company's service.
He was a combatant on the 10th of September, 1780, in the san-
guinary battle of Perimbancum, in Mysore, against the forces of
Hyder Ally, when he, with Colonel Baillie, Captain (afterwards
Sir David) Baird, and about 200 British soldiers, were taken pri-
soners. Without ammunition, their waggons being accidentally
blown up, they formed themselves, under the fire of the enemy's
numerous artillery, into a square, and there resisted and repulsed
thirteen different attacks, until borne down and trampled upon, and
still fighting under the legs of the elephants and horses, they were
compelled to surrender, and were thrown, chained together two
and two, into Hyder's dungeons at Seringapatam, suffering from
their wounds, without surgical care, almost naked, exposed to pri-
vations, cruel indignities, and ill-treatment, and remained cap-
tives for three years and nine months, when Hyder's death led to
their release.

ROBBERY OF BANK NoTEs.---Yesterday (Thurs-
day) a gentleman had occasion to transact business in the City, and
among the moneys received were some Bank of England notes. He
proceeded homeward to Camberwell, when to his astonishment he
found that his pocket had been picked of two 201. notes, numbered
96,070 and 96,071, as well as one of 51., numbered 12,107.
THE GIPSY KING AND HIS CAMP.--InformatiOn
has been sent to the police of an enormous amount of property
found in the possession of a gipsy of the name of Lee, who is
said to be the king of that tribe, and which for the most part is
supposed to have come from the neighbourhood of London. It

would take up too much space to enumerate all the articles found in
this man's camp ; but a statement of a few will give some notion of
his possessions. Three silver watches, two silver tablespoons with
initials, eight silver tea-spoons with separate marks, two silver
mustard.spoons, two silver knives, a gold brooch, two riding.
whips silver mounted, a stock of brass and copper kettles, stew.paus,
&c. ; a splendid dinner and tea service of china, eighteen silk
handkerchiefs, various patterns ; thirty. seven ladies' gowns, silk
and cotton ; coats and other wearing apparel ; a set of window.
curtains, two tive.pound notes, and a vast deal of other valuable
property, for which it is desirable to find owners. The " king"
is in custody.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, yesterday, were 6,000
bags, of which 1,200 were American, and 250 Surat on specu-
lation. The market was quiet, but without change in
prices. Sales, 800 Surat, at 3Ad. to 3,0.; 250 Pamir', at
60. to rd. ; 100 Bahia. at 64d.; 500 Egyptian, at 6id. to
Oct. ; and the rest American, at 34d. to sd. per lb.—Shares
were firm, and well supported.

In the accounts brought over this morning from the United
States some considerable stress is laid upon the alleged war-
like demonstrations between the Republic and Mexico. The
commercial letters, however, treat the subject with something
like ridicule, as it is held to be a certainty that were a hostile
demonstration really intended, something more would be done
than the marching and counter-marching of a few forces, and
the preparation for active service of a vessel of war. It is
true that the Mexican Consul at New Orleans had left, and
the representatives of the Republic in other ports had fol-
lowed the example; but why the cause of all this speed in
neglecting their duty at a time their presence might be most
essential, is not explained. It is fairly presumable that the
usual protection would be afforded to these officials
which is accorded pursuant tolthe doctrines of civilized war-
fare, even though hostilities were abruptly commenced by the
United States. The present advices say not a word about
what would be the course of our Minister at Washington
under the circumstances. Intercession to accommodate
matters, would probably be the policy to be pursued, but
upon this subject cf course scarcely anything but rumour was
current in the capital of the United States.
It does not appear that the alarming rumours previously
circulated relative to a deficiency in the cotton crops are
borne out, as the markets for the staple were very tranquil,
with but little business doing. How this fact tallies with
the immense speculations which have taken place recently
for a rise at Liverpool, and the probable results of these
immense time bargains, we may have a word or two to say
OR another fitting occasion.

The Consol market continues extremely steady, at 98%
.% for Money. The Account price is merely nominal, not a
single time bargain having been reported this morning. The
premium upon Exchequer-bills has fluctuated only from
48s. to 465. India Stock has advanced from 269 to 271.
There i. a steady demand for Portuguese Stock, still the
Converted Stock is scarcely as high as yesterday. The price
for the. Converted, for the Account, is now 63 to 63%.
Mexicans are flat, at 32%; Dutch at 62% for the Two-and-
a-Half per Cents., and at 99% % for the Four per Cents.
The Equador Shares remain at 43/4.
The general tone of the market for Railway Shares is
rather better to-day. The trading shares have fluctuated
only slightly, as will be shortly stated. The various settle-
ments in the new issues of scrip, though somewhat numerous,
have gone off well. The London and Birmingham Shares
have, been steady at former prices. The; North Midland
are firm ; the Great Western also, as well as the
Manchester, Buxton, and Matlock, which are at 83/4 %
premium. The South-Eastern and Dover are all at
404 ; the York and North Midland at 112%. The
Diihlin and Belfast Junction are firm. The Dublin and
Galway at 5% % ; the Great Southern and Western (Ire-
land) Extension at 13% ; the Hull and Selby at 103 104 ;
the Croydon at an improvement to 25% ; the Manchester
and Leeds Quarter Shares are flat at 99%, and the French
lines are rather heavy.

e
tions commanded a steady sale, at prices fully equal to those
obtained on Monday, and at which a good clearance was
effected. In the middling and inferior kinds a moderate
amount of business was transacted at late rates. The
accounts which have reached us from the north relative
to the progress of harvest operations are favourable.
Upwards of 14,000 quarters of Foreign Wheat have come to
hand this week, on a portion of which home consumption
duty has been paid. The transactions in fine parcels were
only to a limited extent, yet the currencies were generally
supported. The principal sales in bond were 10,000 quarters
of low red, for shipment to Holland and Belgium. No New
Barley has been received since Monday, while the supply of
Foreign was small. For most kinds, but especially for
grinding sorts, the inquiry was rather active, at full prices.
The supply of Oats being more than adequate to meet the
wants of the dealers, the Malt trade was in a very sluggish
state, at in some instances a slight depression in value. '1 he
supply of Oats, owing to the long-continued easterly winds,
was very sin-jl, yet the trade was dull, at previous quota-
tions. Beans, Peas, and Flour moved off slowly, at about
stationary prices.

was but moderate, yet we have to report a very dull
inquiry for that description of stock, at barely Monday's
quotations. There were on offer 100 Scots from Scotland,
63 beasts from Holland, and 7 from Hamburgh. The num-
ber of foreign Sheep was 117 and of Calves 14 head. For
Sheep, the supply of which was by no means extensive, the
demand was steady, and previous rates were well supported.
In Lambs rather more business was doing, but Calves were
a mere drug, at a decline of 2d per Blbs. Pigs met a dull in-
quiry. Milch cows, le/to 191 each.
