HIGH WATER AT LONDON-BRIDGE THIS DAY.
~,torning .. q 9 minutes after 5 I Evening .. 9 minutes after

and stipulations of Articles 3 and 8 are most
offensively and palpably injurious. No British di-
plomatist ought to have lowered the moral preten-
sions of his country to a level with those of France
in any record or notice of the proceedings of either touching
the suppression of slave-trading from any date subsequent to
1807. Now this is a distinction to be never lost sight of.
It raises no point of political disparagement that can give
offence to France, to abstain from putting her in the same
category with England, as one of the two Powers
which, by the conventions of 1831 and 1833, were
determined to prevent their subjects from slave-trading
under their flags. The flag of England has been
struck for ever in connexion with slave-trading from the year
1807. In the year 1831 that of France was notoriously
and most extensively and profligately spread over this trade.
Till 1831 the French Government bad manifested more than
reluctance to any virtual effort to put down this shame upon
the French people. For the Convention, as a treaty, we
rejoice, as we shall ever do, at any other equally valid
evidence of a good understanding between the two Crowns;
but that Dr. LUSIIINGTON should have been inveigled into
such a mode of slurring over unpleasant recollections affecting
France, by degrading England into an implied (but, thank
GOD, most unfounded) participation in the long-protracted
criminality of the French sufferance of slave-trading, argues
great tact and ability on the part of the Duc Ds BROGUE,
but does not excuse the Learned Doctor for yielding to the
suggestions of his flattered vanity, or his over-excited
credulity.

Madrid journals of the 4th instant have been received, but
they bring no news of importance. The Heraldo, a Minis-
terial paper, announces that the French Government have
permitted Don CARLOS and his consort to proceed to Greoulx,
in the department of the Lower Alps ; but it adds that he
will be watched there as closely as at Bourges, and that the
Prince of ASTURIAS will remain in the last-named town,
under surveillance.

On the Madrid Bourse the Funds were flat. The Three
per Cents. closed at 30 for cash, and 30% for 60 days ;
and the Five per Cents. at 20% for 14 days ; Passives, 6%
cash.

In the French Chambers of Peers the Bill for increasing
the number of French cruisers on the African coast was
taken into consideration on Wednesday, when the Marquis
DE BOISSY first addressed the Chamber. He considered the
new treaty of a very satisfactory character, and far superior to
those of 1831 and 1833, but at the same time maintained that
the Government had consented to concessions that were to
be regretted. He wished to know why no stipulations had
been made with regard to the eastern coast of Africa. Was
it with a view to favour England, that the slave trade might
be carried on there for the benefit of the East India
Company. He declared also that a secret treaty
existed, by which France could not send more than 3,000
men to the Indian Seas. He should, therefore, be glad to
have some answer from the Government on these points.
The Duke DE BROGLIE said no such exception existed. The
French Government could send on the eastern coast any num-
ber of vessels it pleased, but it had not entered into any obli-
gation on the point, because the right of search was not exer-
cised in that part of the world, the slave trade being only prac-
tised there under the Portuguese flag, over which England
possessed certain rights, in virtue of ancient treaties. The fact
was, that the eastern coast of Africa had not been included
in the treaty because slavery was abolished in all the British
possessions. M. GUIZOT denied the truth of the assertion of
the Marquis DE Bon' relative to a secret treaty stipulating
not to send more than 3,000 men to the Indian Seas. No
such treaty, he said, existed, or had ever existed. The Bill
was passed by a majority of 94 to 8. The intelligence in the
papers is without interest, if we except the following ex-
tract from the Quotidienne, which relates to the fama clamosa
raised-against Vicrox Iluao, with which our readers are
already acquainted. The name of the married lady is not
mentioned :

"We have spoken with all the reserve prescribed by public
decency of an event which has caused, and still causes, great
sensation in Paris, and respecting which a grand trial before an
exceptional tribunal was expected. The affair is arranged. A
high functionary who, when he was Minister, had never a very
decided taste for the policy of conciliation, has, it is said, in-
duced the complaining party to decline prosecuting. The Peers
will not, therefore, be retained in Paris after the close of the
session. The only justice that will take place will be that of public
opinion."

The Sud of Marseilles contains the following intelligence
from Algiers, dated June 21 :
" M. Leon Roche returned last night from Larache, with the
Emperor of Morocco's ratification of the treaty concluded between
that Sovereign's Minister and General Delarue. The arrival in the
roads of three French ships of war, the Veloce, Titan, and Cygne,
has promoted the arrangement, and seasonably seconded the intel-
ligent efforts of General Delarue, our Charge d'Affaires, M. de
Chaseau, and M. Leon Roche."

It is stated in a letter from Beyrout, of the 12th of June,
that the Pacha was expected there on the 13th, and fears
were entertained that as soon as he left the mountains the
war between the Druses and Maronites would be renewed.

On the Paris Bourse, on Wednesday, the Three per Cents.
closed at 83f. 30c. ; ultimately the Three per Cents. closed
at 83f. 30e.; the New Loan at 83f. 65e.; the Five per

SALMON AND ANOTHER v. Nimmo.—ln this case,
which was tried in the Sheriff's Court on the Bth, the verdict was
for the defendant, but execution was delayed till next term, as
stated in The Sun of that day. A Correspondent says :—" The
verdict was for the defendant on the' second issue' only, and for
the plaintiffb on the other issues, the Sheriff giving the plaintiffi
liberty to move the court next term to set aside the defendant's
verdict, on a point of law reserved, the record being stayed for
that purpose."

SWIMMING MATCH AT HOLBORN BATHS.—This
match came off on Tuesday evening, at half.past eight o'clock,
before a very crowded and respectable audience. In the first heat
three competitors started—namely, Messrs. Pentus, Mr. !Poulton,
and Mr. Nicholson. Mr. Pentus took the lead at the start, and
kept it all through, Mr. Poulton maintaining a very good second.
The second heat was between Messrs. Robertson, Turner, and
Grant, which was won easily by Mr. Robertson; Mr. Turner
coming in second. The final heat was contended for by Messrs.
Turner, Nicholson, Robertson, and Pentus, and after a sharp
contest, the latter gentleman was declared the winner of the cup,
amidst loud cheering. Mr. Robinson was awarded the medal.
The race was one against time, and occupied two minutes and
twelve seconds.

There was yesterday another of those sudden
changes of weather, for which the present summer has been so
remarkable. During the greater part of the night of Monday there
was much thunder and lightning, with a heavy fall of rain, which
lasted a great part of yesterday, and the thermometer was several
degrees lower than on the preceding day.—Galignani of Wed.
nesday.

The eminent Roman banker, Prince Torlonia, has
arrived at Milan from Rome. His journey is said to be connected
with the formation of the railroads undertaken by the Italian and
Austrian Railway Company.

On Sunday night, about eleven o'clock, a farmer
from the neighbourhood of Honfleur was caught its the storm,
whilst travelling on horseback, and both man and beast were struck
dead by the electric fluid.

The Duke and Duchess of Nemours are expected
at Libourne on August 2, to remain therejuring the 3d, and leave
on the 4th for Bordeaux. The municipal council has voted B,ooof.
for the entertainment of their Royal Highnesses, and the principal
inhabitants intend to offer them a splendid ball. The Duke d'Au-
male will, it is believed, arrive at Libourne on the 3d, and pro-
ceed with the Duke and Duchess of Nemours, on the 4th, to
Bordeaux.

BIRMINGHAM, THURSDAY.—The usual meeting of
the iron and coal masters of South Staffordshire and South Shrop.
shire took place in our Town-hall this day. Since the last quar-
terly meeting, it is needless to say, the price has been very consi-
derably reduced. Every description of manufactured iron, within
thirteen weeks, has been reduced 20 or 25 per cent. The great
hope of the ironmasters is, now the price has, as they conceive, got
to its lowest ebb, that the present price will remain stationary. We I
do not, from all accounts, believe that it will. The railway spe-
culations of the midland counties, and of the entire country, now
Parliament is becoming tired of the inquiries, prove to be great
hoaxes to the iron-manufacturers, It is true that same masters, in
anticipation of a great demand, have done well (most of them
deeply involved in these speculations), but the issue will be, as an-
ticipated by Lords Brougham and Ashburton, that the railway
mania will not only injure private speculators, but that it will be
seriously injurious to the iron trade of Stafibrdshire and Wales.
The attempt to supply has far outreached the probability, if not the
possibility, of demand. The prices settled at Dudley, on Saturday
next, will be most important to the public.
DETERMINED SUICIDE AT LONDON-BRIDGE.—On
Thursday night, a few minutes before eight o'clock, as a man re-
spectably attired was passing along London-bridge on the pathway
on the eastern side, he suddenly stopped near the third recess, and
threw himself over the parapet into the water. The tide was tun.
ing down with extraordinary rapidity, so that before the unfortu.
nate man could be reached his body had floated to a considerable
distance. Just as he sunk, one of the boats neared him, but too
late to save his life, as he sank to rise no more,
The body of the son of Mr. Chandler, the pro-
prietor of the Ship, Milbank, who was drowned on Tuesday whilst
endeavouring to save a man from a similar fate, was found yester-
day by some fishermen off the Hungerford Suspension-bridge.
Yesterday morning Mr. Benjamin Blaby, the chief
usher of the Thames Police-court, departed this life in the 65th
year of his age. He had been attached to the old Thames police
for 24 years previous to his appointment, as a " land officer."
REASONABLY MAD !—The authorities of the town
of Greenwich have issued a proclamation to the Neal police to
destroy all wandering dogs who may be "suspected reasonably
mad ;" the matter being left to the judgment of the policeman
on duty.

SPA-FIELDS BURIAL- GROUND.—Yesterday the arbi-
trator (Mr. Bramwell, barrister) commenced the hearing of evi.
dente on the order of reference made on the prosecution connected
with the Spa.fields burying-ground. Mr. Wakeling, the vestry
clerk of Clerkenwell, attended in support of the prosecution; and
Mr. Lewis, of the firm of Lewis and Lewis, represented the de.
fendants. The evidence given was not allowed to be made public,
nor, of course, the discussion which occurred between the parties,
and which took place before any of the witnesses were called. The
matter was not concluded, and the opinion of the arbitrator will be
made to the Court under whose direction the order of reference
was made,
CouRAGE REWARDED.—On the Bth instant the
General Court of the Royal Humane Society, at the recommends.
tion of the Special Committee, awarded silver medallions of honour
to Mr. Frederic Burd, son of the Rev. G. Burd, of Cound-lodge,
near Shrewsbury, and to Henry Wood Sandford, son of the Rev.
W. Sandford, incumbent of Newport, Salop, for the highly cou-
rageous manner in which they exerted themselves, under circum-
stances of extreme personal peril and difficulty, in rescuing three
ladies and a gamekeeper from very Imminent danger of death by
drowning in a large sheet of water on the estate of Mr, J. C.
Borough, recently High-Sheriff of Shropshire,

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated
at 5,000 bags, including 1,000 for export and on speculation.
The market was quieter, but without any other change.

There has been a ship arrival to-day from Rio de Janeiro
with accounts of the 3d of May. The exchange was at
24%d., and the Six per Cents. Stock at 78. There are but
one or two papers, and very few letters by this opportunity,
and these add nothing of importance to our previous in-
formation. No news is given relative to the commercial
treaty.

We have more arrivals to-day from Australia, but dates
are not quite so late as those already received.
The particulars which have transpired relative to the job-
bing of certain officials in the Shares of the projected North
Kent line, brought to light through the petition of the South-
Eastern Railway Company, shows how the opposition to the
plans of the latter has been carried on, and how little the
North Kent ever was entitled to boast of the sanction of the
Board of Ordnance. In standing upon its merits the South-
Eastern Company, in the judgment of most parties, has best
ensured the ultimate success of its comprehensive scheme
for supplying the railway wants of Kent.
It is gratifying to state that in addition to the subscriptions
already advertised in The Sun for the relief of the sufferers
by the dreadful fire at Quebec, her Majesty has subscribed
2001., Prince Albert 1001., and the Canada Company
1001. &c. No doubt the full list will appear in a day or
two in another column of Time Sun. The Bank of England is
likely, we hear, to give a liberal sum.
The Funds have been without any material alteration to-
day. Consols have been 99 to %. Exchequer-bills are
rising, they have touched sss. and 60s. premium. Bank
Stock has been at 210% to 211%, and India Stock at 275.

MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

The little English Wheat went off at prices quite equal to
those obtained on Monday, yet the demand for that article
was by no means brisk. The unsettled state of the weather
caused the holders to ask more money for fine Foreign
Wheat, but the miller.: were not disposed to comply with
their demands. There was no alteration in grinding Barley.
The Malt trade was dull, arising from the supply being more
than equal to the wants of the trade; so that some difficulty
was experienced in obtaining late rates. In Oats, Beans,
and Peas no variation.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.
The following has been posted at Lloyd's :
" Hydrographic Office, Admiralty, June 26, 1845.
" REVOLVING LIGHT IN THE PIOMBINO CHANNEL, lIEDI.

" TERRANEarr.
" In conformity with the intentions of the Grand Ducal
Government of Tuscany, of which notice was given by this
office on the 29,d of January, a revolving light has been

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY

OLD COURT.

(Before Mr. Baron PARK 2 and Mr. Alderman MUSGROVE.

John Marshall was placed at the bar, charged with a criminal
assault upon the person of Sarah Ann Strate, a child of tender
years, on the 24th June last, in the house of her aunt, a washer-
woman, living at No. 10, Little Coram-street.

Mr. O'Brien appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Ballantine
for the prisoner.

It appeared from the statement of counsel, that the prisoner was
living in the same house with the prosecutrix and her aunt ; that
upon the night laid In the Indictment the prisoner committed the
offence with which he stood charged, and which would be detailed
by the prosecutris.

Sarah Anne Strate was then called ; her appearance created the
greatest sensation; she did not appear to be more than eight or
nine years old, though stated to be between ten and eleven, and of
very weak and delicate frame. Having stated that she understood
the nature of an oath, and was aware of the consequences that would
follow a violation of it, she was sworn, and deposed that on the
night in question she was alone in the house; her aunt had
gone out. The prisoner came into the room and put her on the
sofa, and told her not to tell, and that he would give her sixpence a
week. (Here the prosecutrix described the particulars of the as-
sault, which were very revolting and disgusting.) The prisoner
had hurt her very much and she cried out; she told Mrs. Higgins
and Mrs. Parker the day after. One of them examined her and
then took her to a gentleman's house, and from that she went to
Worcester by the train.

Cross-examined by Mr. BALLANTINE—When her aunt came in
on Saturday the prisoner was present, and said, " If this charge is
to be made against me, let her be examined by a surgeon ;" was
examined by a surgeon.
By the COURT—Is the surgeon here ?

Mr. BALLANTINE-1 believe not, my Lord.
Prosecutrix, then in continuation, said she had been turned
away from school because she was bad, she meant by that that she
would not learn the books; never mentioned at school that any
one ever behaved indecently to her.
Sarah Higgins sworn—Lives in the same house with prosecutrix's
aunt. Remembers the 28th of June. Prosecutrix complained to
her on that day and said that the prisoner had been ill-treating her.
Witness and Mrs. Harper examined the child's person and found
that she had been seriously injured,
Police-constable James Newman deposed that he apprehended
the prisoner in the house in question about one o'clock In the
morning of the 29th June. One of the women present said the
child had been sent away about a fortnight. The aunt said she
had been sent away only that evening.

Here the case closed.
The prisoner's Counsel did not address any observations to the
jury.

The Learned JUDGE said that there was not sufficient evidence
to prove the more serious offence; but he thought it would be well
to remand the prisoner to the next sessions, and then have him
tried for attempting a criminal intercourse with a child under the
age of twelve years of age and above ten ; the prisoner to be admit-
ted to bail upon giving security, himself in 801., and two sureties
in 401. each.
