NAVAL AND MILITARY.

A Commission was formed, about three weeks
since, by order of the Spanish Government, to con-
sider the means of rendering available to the State,
for the reconstruction of its navy, the valua'Ae oak
timber of the Royal forests of Santander, Galicia,
&c. The project was submitted, on the part of a
British Company, by a Mr. Henry Misley, and pro-
gress will soon be reported. If followed up, Spain
may again expect to see an Armada on the waters.
More than 20 Wesleyan chapels at Sierra Leone are
built, in the interior, of the wood of slave ships, taken
and condemned by British cruisers.
London, England, 1842-09-29

AFFGHAN WAR.

The CHAIRMAN then stated that tl.e Court had
been made special for the purpose of considering a
motion, of which an Hon. Proprietor had given notice,
relating to the expenses of the Aftkhan war. He
therefore called on that Proprietor to move.
Mr. SALOMON'S begged to postpone the motion of
which he had given notice, relative to the expenses of
the Afghan war, until the next General Court.

THE RAJA OF SATTARA.

Mr. LEWIS then rose for the purpose of postponing
the motion of which he had given notice, relative to
the case of the Raja of Sattara. He was induced to
postpone this motion until the next General Court on
account of the absence of several of those friends by
whom he had hitherto been supported, but who would
be there on some future occasion.
NOTICES OF MOTION.
ADJOURNMENT.

The HoN. PROPRIETOR then gave notice that
the next General Court he should move a resolution
to the effect, that it is not competent to any Pro-
prietor, after a notice of motion has been read, to
move an adjournment of the Court before such motion
has been moved and seconded;. that such a practice is
objectionable in principle and subversive of the con-
stitution and best interests of the Court of Proprietors.

SURIVAARY OF MEWS

AND
(Public &pinion.

" Who runs.may read.'

FOREIGN.

I • The Accounts brought from the East by,the Levant
Mail, are, on the whole, favourable. The Porte in-
clines to yield to the recemmendation of the Great
Powers for restoring the peace of Syria; that recom-
mendation being the nomination of a Maronite Prince
and a Druse Prince to govern . each their people, sub.
ject to the control of a Turkish Governor-in:Chief,
Mehemet Ali appears to be in great favour at Con-
stantinople; and, according, to some accounts is de-
sirous to show his loyalty and good faith by a personal
visit to the Sultan.

Letters from Erzeroum, of the 15th August (re-
ceived ifia' Constantinople) announce, that a corps of
500 Persians attacked (about the middle of. July) a
detachment of 200 Turkish cavalry, in the environs of
Bayazid. The latter, although thus surprised by a
superior force, charged the assailants. with great im-
petuosity, routed, and pursued them to Ovadjik, a dis-
tance of three leagues. The Persians lost thirty men
killed, and had many wounded. The Turks lost only
five men.

The British corvette Beacon, Captain Graves, ar-
rived at Smyrna on the 30th ult. This officer had
completed the survey of the coast of the Cyclades, and
was shortly to proceed on a similar mission to Candia.
The new Catholic church built in the village of
Boudja, and placed under the protection of France,
was inaugurated on the 4th by the Archbishop Massa-
bini, in presence of the French Consul-General and
an immense concourse of people from Smyrna and
the environs.

The Madrid papers of the 20th are barren of in-
terest. Nothing doing at the Bourse.
The King and Queen of Prussia passed through
Basle on the 23d inst., on their way to Neufchatel.
Their Majesties were received at Basle by Baron de
Werther, the Prussian Minister in Switzerland, Count
Arnim, the Prussian Minister at Paris, and Baron
Bulow.

According to the Suabian Mercury of the 25th inst.,
the Austrian and Prussian troops constituting the gar-
rison of Frankfort were to evacuate that city on the
26th.

The accounts from Algiers represent Abd-el-
Kader's autumnal outbreak as more serious than it is
represented. -
The plan for the new Palace of the Archbishop of
Paris is decided upon. It is to stand upon a site be-
tween the Rues Massillon, Cloitre Notre-Dame, and
Chanoinesse, and the Quai Napoleon, from the Pont
Louis-Philippe to the Pont Rouge. The principal en-
trance will be opposite the promenade of the Cathedral.

and 261 11-16 13-16 / 11-16, at 60 days, fur a I
stun of 21,200,000 reals.

Tl►e whole of the Paris Papers have been re-
ceived. They are chiefly occupied with the
American Tariff and the pamphlet of General
BUGEAUD, which it appears has given great
offence to Marshal SOULT. The Levant Mail,
due on the 21st at Marseilles, did not reach that
place till the 2lth, but the letters have not
arrived.

The following intelligence from Constantinople
is given in the Augsburg Gazette:—
" The post just arrived from Constantinople of the
7th, brings tidings of sanguinary quarrels among the
Maronites, and an intervention of the Pacha. More-
over, it announces the formation of a camp of from
20,000 to 25,000 men, at Malatia, and the sending of
fresh troops to Erzeroum." _ _

The extracts fro►u four French Journals show,
in another part of the paper, that they are as
much divided on the American Tariff as o❑ the
Ashburton Treaty.

FOR.E/GIV.

M. Cohen, the translator of the Bible into French,
and editor of the ' Archives of the Jews in France,"
has written to the Gazette de Tribunaux, stating
that, from his knowledge of the sentiments of his
brethren, he can affirm that if Deutz, the person who
betrayed the Duchess de Berri, had applied to any of
those who knew who and what he was, he would
have been rejected with contempt, as his conduct was
held in horror and detestation by them all.

On Friday night Fecamp was visited by a tempest;
the rain fell in such torrents as to interrupt all the
communications. In the lower part of the town the
waters rose to the first story, and it was said that
several persons were drowned.
The Journal de Rouen says, that at Etretal the in-
undation was general. More than 200 houses are
under water, and several have fallen down. A great
many families were in danger of perishing, but hap-
pily people from the country came with their boats,
and saved them. Four women, however, were
drowned in their own houses, and it is feared that
others have lost their lives.

The Academy of the Beaux Arts on Saturday
awarded the prizes for the annual contours of paint-
ing. The first was given to M. Francois-Eloi Blen-
nourry, of Bar-sur-Aube, aged 19, pupil of M.
Droning; and the second to M. Louis Duveau, of
St. Malo, aged 24, pupil of M. Cogniet. An honour-
able mention was made of M. Felix Barrias, of Paris,
aged 20, pupil of M. Cogniet. The subject proposed
tOr competition this year was " Samuel crowning
young David as King in place of Saul."
The Government has issued, through the Ministry
of the Home Department, orders to follow up prose-
cutions against those engaged in the recent fatal duel
at Cadiz. Both the Home Minister, Solanot, and the
Minister of Justice, Zumalacarregui, have sent cir-
culars to all the chiefs in their respective departments,
desiring that they shall not imitate the conduct of the
late unfortunate Gefe Politico of Cadiz, in entering•
into controversies with the conductors of the public
Press; but in all. cases which- may appear to them to
require explanation, to write directly to their supe-
riors at Madrid.

The _Mercury of Franconia mentions from Berlin a
report that the budget of Prussia is about to be re-
duced 1,500,000 dollars, and that this amount, instead
of being deducted from the taxes, will be reserved for
the purpose of encouraging the construction of rail-
roads by guaranteeing a minimum of interest to the
shareholders in such undertakings.
The Augsburgh Gazette of the 22d, has an article
from St. Petersburg of the 10th, which states that—
" According to the principles of the ukase of the 6th
of January, all the estates belonging to the Greek
and Roman Catholic clergy in the western govern-
ments of the empire, are placed under the manage-
ment of the Minister of the domains of the empire."

LAW AND POLICE,

James Neill, a master chimney-sweeper, appeared
at Clerkenwell on Tuesday, charged with causing- Ed-
ward Taylor, a boy under twenty-one years of age, in
his employ, to enter a flue for the purpose of cleaning
the same. The defendant said . that he had used the
machine, but having found it ineffectual had employed
the boy to examine the flue. The Magistrate ob-
served, that if such a defence were allowed the Act
of Parliament would be evaded. Under the circum-
stances he was only fined 40s. and 2s. costs, or three
weeks' imprisonment. The fine was paid. •
Wm. Karnes, a boot and shoemaker, was charged
at Marylebone with assaulting a respectable female,
named Elizabeth Bond, and fined 51. for the outrage.
At the Kent Petty Sessions on Monday, James
Benjamin Sutton, a respectable tradesman, master of
the Post-office of the town of Brompton, and a collec-
tor of poor-rates, was charged with having concealed
in his house 541bs. of foreign tobacco, the duty there-
on not having been paid. He was convicted in the
mitigated penalty of 251.

MONEY-TRADE-COMMERCE.

Yesterday the adjourned meeting of Proprietors
of the Royal West India Mail Steam-packet Company
took place, when the plans and future operations
were displayed, and a remodelling of their entire
system of action canvassed.
_ _

The mines of Russia yield as much gold as all the
rest of Europe. The yearly produce of this metal is
16,000 pounds. This weight of gold has this year
been sufficient to load from 40 to 50 sledges ; the
silver from 120 to 150 sledges ; and the copper sets in
motion 5,000 sledges.

Some highly interesting experiments have lately
been made at Portsmouth, for the purpose of ascertain-
ing the application and capabilities of the mantelet,
lately invented by Lieutenant-Colonel Blanchard, of the
Royal Engineers, to gun rocket practice, and the result
has proved highly satisfactory. The application of the
mantelet to so formidable a weapon of war as the Con-
greve rocket, originated with Lieutenant-Colonel Nlen-
zie6, R,H., comp:landing the Royal Marine Artillery.

IN THE MATTER OP WM. COLLINS.

The insolvent had held a situation in the Navy Pay-
office, from which he retired after a service of thirty
yearty years, with a small pension. He then got a
situation as box-keeper at Drury-lane theatre, and after-
wards at the Italian Opera. He now applied for his
discharge.
_ _

Mr..i•Tzcnou.s, on behalf of the opposing creditor,
Mr. Hutton, said he was instructed to offer no further
opposition to the discharge of the insolvent, owing to
his old age and infirmity, and he was consequently
ordered to be discharged.

STATE OF TRADE.

FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, JAN. 14.—We have
had but a limited demand for foreign wool during the
past week, though prices have undergone no variation.
ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, JAN. 14.—Sales
continue limited, and prices without any alteration from
last week's quotations.
BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.—We cannot re-
port any improvement upon last week's Piece Market.
Merchants manifest great caution in their operations, nor
do we anticipate any material change at present. Prices
continue about the same. In Yarn there is no observ-
able difference since our last report. Spinners continue
to work short time, and thus prevent any material accu-
mulation. Prices are firm. A continued dullness pre-
vails in wool : prices, however, are pot affected, which
may be attributed to the market not being glutted with a
superabundant stock.—Leeds Mercury.

SIIEEP-STEALING.--If accounts of all the
felonies of this kind, committed within the range of the
Journal, were weekly sent us, we believe the details
would occupy a considerable portion of our columns.
Sheep-stealing is now committed to an extent unheard of
before, and the owners of this species of stock are conse-
quently in continual dread of the boldness of these mid-
night marauders.—Sherborne Journal.

IN RE JOHN RANGELEY.

In this case the Insolvent was described as an engi-
neer and patentee for certain improvements in railways,
residing in Champion-grove, Camberwell. He was also
described as engineer to the Safety Rotation Company.
He bad been a bankrupt twice, and in the first in-
stince his debts and liabilities amounted to about 16,0001.
The debtsset forth in his schedule under 1 i+ present insol-
vency amounted to 1,724/. 48.5 d. During his exami-
nation ho stated that several influential persons in the
City had formed a Company for the purpose of bringing
his invention (which consisted of a peculiar construc-
tion in the wheels made to run upon railways, by which
the danger of jumping from the rails would be avoided),
into practical effect. His wife was possessed of certain
property vested in trustees, which produced about 2001.
per annum, and be attributed his present insolvency to
the fact of his having expended large sums of money in
perfecting his mechanical inventions, from which he has
as yet derived but little emolument.

in the number. The loss of the British amounted to
two killed, and twenty-eight wounded. The Blonde
had also one of her quarterdeck guns dismounted.
Great quantities of military stores were found in the
arsenals ; and it was very evident that the Chinese had
no idea of being again so quickly kicked out of Chusan.
Numerous guns were found in the batteries, thirty-six
of which were new, of brass, and well cast. These were
subsequently shipped on board the transports.
On the arrival of the next Overland Mail, we

ing system of Scotland is an exception to the ge- .
neral system. Is it possible that' the Tories of
the present day have lost all recollection of
what occurred in 1826 ? At that period, when
their power was greatest, they were completely
defeated in an attempt to abrogate the Scotch
system, and the bankers north of the Tweed,
aided by SirW. SCOTT, writing under the signature
of " MALAGROWTHER," completely defeated the
Earlof LIVERPOOL'S Administration. Mr.CROKER
tried sundry tilts with the Novelist, and was as
often cast to the ground. We make no objections
to the Scotch system; but, be it good or bad, it
exists in spite of the Tories, who would fain
have destroyed it in 1826, and were obliged to
allow it to remain. Till this day it exists, a mo-
nument of their inability to put down a powerful
interest, which they said was inimical to the
public welfare.
That, however, was neither the first nor the
last instance of their being compelled to do what
they disliked. Before that they had been forced,
contrary to their declared opinion, to amend our
sanguinary criminal code; and atter that, in 1828,
they were obliged, against their inclination, to sr,-
crifice the Test and Corporation Acts. In 1829
they yielded Catholic Emancipation to gentle
pressure ; and in 1832, when restored for a mo-
ment to office, it was on a condition which they
accepted, that they should grant Parliamentary
Reform, though they had opposed it all their
lives. Again in office, again they are proposing,
from the compulsion of circumstances, the very-
measures they took office to resist. A more
squeezable set of gentlemen, in fact, than your
high-minded Tories, and men less to be relied on
to follow out a policy they have advocated, never
had possession of the Treasury ; and we shall
take care never to mock ourselves and the public
by calling them a Government. They are a mere
Administration, and the not-wanted Income-tax
with which they have plagued society, is a proof
that they are a very bad Administration.

THE "CliffiA SUN."
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
EDITOR,—As the expeditious route to China, by
steam, becomes now an object Af great importance, since
we are at peace with this induxtrious one-third of the
family of man, you are at libeCtY
to insert in your
China Sun the following nautical .remarks, from your
obedient servant.

ROBERT WIS:'I,
of Allonby.
Author of "Remarks on our Present .Position with
China and Affghanistan."
The voyage by steam, from the Red Sett .0 .IThnr
Kong, and vice versa (back), although consick:rab'Y
longer than from the Red Sea to Calcutta, is, in point: of
fact, only seven days' longer voyage than the latter, on as
average ; because the track from the Red Sea to Sing*.
pore is through a part of the Indian Ocean, wher2 the
monsoon winds are favourable (or fair winds) at all
seasons of the year, both outward or homeward, or going:
to and returning from China ; and from Singapore to,
Hong-Kong, the steam voyage (by keeping well in with
the land), can be performed in seven days, on an [wane,
all the year round.
The difficulties ,experienced by the Bombay steamers
in the S.W. monsoon are avoided in the China route, as
are also those of the Calcutta steamers in the S.W.
monsoon, at the head of the Bay of Bengal. Fifty days,
is sufficient, and Singapore will be the only port neces-
sarry to coal at. Our splendid steamers, now in China,
can do this great work, monthly, easily, if put to it.

CAUTION IN SENDING NEWSPAPERS.—It is well
known that many persons who send newspapers are in
the habit of cutting them, in order to direct attention to
any particular paragraph. The Post-office authorities
have recently declared that such are marked papers and
are liable to postage charge, whilst the parties sending
such are also subject to the usual penalties for writing
in newspapers.

" The eighth plague," said Dr. Johnson, " is the
gout ; and that man whe discovers a medicine to alle-
viate its torment deserves well of his country ; but he
who can effect a cure, should have a monument erected to
his memory as high as St. Paul's, as wideas the Thames,
and as lasting as time." This desideratum (happily)has
now been accomplished ; and it must afford unspeakable
satisfaction to those who are afflicted with Gout, Rheu-
matism, Rheumatic Gout, Rheumatic Fever, or Lum-
bago, to be informed that they will find an unfailing re-
medy in Simco's Gout and Rheumatic Pills, which are sold

DISTRESSING SUICIDE.—On Wednesday an inquest
was held by Mr. Wakley, at the Plough, Kensal green,
on Mr. Henry Maudy, aged 58, a licensed victualler, in
George-street, Portman-square, who was found drowned
in the Paddington Canal on Monday. His wife was in-
terred in Kensal-green Cemetery, which he had since
been in the habit of frequenting, and visiting her tomb.
For some days previous to his death ho had appeared
very uneasy, particularly at night, and very restless
in his manner. Monday evening he left his home for
the purpose of visiting his wife's grave, but did not
reach Kensal • green until after seven, at which hour,
the gates being closed, he could not obtain admission.
From that time he was never again seen alive ; but
about nine o'clock, as John Moulding, in the employ of
Mr. Woods; of. Kensal-green, was walking along the
north bank of the canal, he saw, by the light of the
moon, a hat and stick on the path, the stick being
driven through the crown of the hat into the earth to
secure it ; and on looking further about, he distin-
guished something dark floating on the water. lie
gave information to the police, and the drags having
been procured, the body of deceased was got out and
conveyed to the above inn, where every means for re-
storing animation were adopted, but without effect. The
Jury returned A verdict of " Temporary Insanity."
