street.

BENEFICIAL EMPLOYMENT OF THE WORKING
CLABSES.—Every one must be distressed at the melan-
choly accounts reeeived from the manufacturing end
mining di'stricts ; and =my will be excited to oonsider
what can be done to afford relief to secure tranquillity.
Doubtless it will afford gratfticatinn to many to be in-•
formed that several respectable gentlemen in the City of
London are malting arrangements to offer the sum of
200 guineas and 100 guineas for the best essays on the
" Means of Providing Remunerative Employment for the
Increasing Population." Immense sums have been con-
tributed by voluntary subscription for objects of inferior
consideration ; and it is to be hoped that the amount
required will be promptly afforded to further so worthy
an object.
CONOCIENTIOVENESS.—MiIkmen are generally suf-
ficiently honest to paint over their doors " milk from the
dairy,' knowing that they would tell a gross untruth,
were they to inscribe " milk from the cow. So con-
scientious, indeed, ate they, that, remembering the origin
of their Commodity, they cry " L'eau."-E. J. Hytche.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.
(FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.)
CITY, THURSDAY EVENING.
TIME S.—The following Portuguese decree, which
has lately been received in London, has not hitherto
been made public, though it is of much importance to
the holders of Portuguese securities. It is well known
that certain of the hoidens have refused, to accede to
the conversion of their stock under the decree ori-
ginally made for that purpose, on account of the sixth
article. To explain that article is the object of the
following decree, at which it is said some of the dis-
sentients have already e:sed their, satisfaction :
TRANSLATED FMI THE ORIGINAL.
"As there are wqll-grounded -reasons to believe
that sundry holdevs et bonds of the loans contracted
out of the country have abstaillod from 'consenting to
the conversion proposed by the decree of the 2d of
November,.lB4o, in the erroneous supposition that it
was in the intention drily Government to cease making
the payment of the respective dividends on the Exchange
of London, by compelling the holders of such bonds
to forward to this kingdom the relative coupons, in
order to be paid at the Custom-houses according to
the enactment of Article six of said decree ; and as it is
expedient to remove any doubt which may have
arisen on this point to the prejudice of the public
credit, which it is most important to maintain, I: think
proper to declare in the most solemn and . explicit
manner, that the payment of the dividends of the
stook created by virtue of the aforementioned decree
of the 2d of November, 1840, will continue to. .be
punctually made in London at the time when they
respectively become due ; it being understood that
the abovementioned sixth condition of the said decree,
which alto vpd the admission of the coupons at the
Custom-holies of Portugal,"merely amounts to a col-
lateral and additional guarantee for the payment of
the interest of the stock in. question.
" The Baron do Tojal, Member of my Council,
Minister and Secretary, of State for matters of
Finance, has so to understand it, and cause it to be
executed, by giving to this decree the suitable publi-
cation. " Palace of Cintra, Aug. 5, 1842.

SUN.—The accounts from the manufacturing dis-
tricts in our Second Edition of to-day, being
viewed as more favourable towards a return to tran-
quillity, the prices of Consols advanced, towards the
close of business, to 913 92 for Money and for the Ac-
count ; Bank Stock, 170 171 ; India Stock, 250 251 ;
Exchequer Bills, Old, 51 53 ; New, 49 51 prem.
The Foreign Securities were—Belgian, 1014
1021; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 52 521 ;
the Five per Cents., 101,1 1021 ; Danish, 821 831; •
and Brazilian, 65 66.
The quotation for Mexican was 344 354.
The Share Market left off firmly, London and ,
Birmingham were, 178 180, ex-dividend ; Bir-
mingham and Gloucester, 48 49 ; Great Western,
881 891; the Half Shares, 63 631; North. Midland,
56 58 ; the New Shares, 27 28 ; South Eastern and
Dover, 211 22; Eastern Counties, 91 9k ; Northern
and Eastern, 391 40} ; Blackwall, 8.1 9} ; and Brigh-
ton, 331 33k per Share.
The Bonds in which, according to the official lists,
have been dealt in to-day, are—Portuguese Five per
Cents., 331 ; Spanish Five per Cents., 21 ; and the
Three per Cents., 201. It is being endeavoured again-
to raise a speculation in these documents, but hitherto
bargains have been wholly confined to certain persons
on the Stock Exchange, who have caused fluctuations,
apparently for the sole purpose of inducing the public
to join them. It need scarcely be again said, that ally
amount may be bouffht and sold, without any inten-
tion to deliver them in the one case, or to pay for them
in the other, but simply to receive or pay over the dif-
ference of price between that at which at the transac-
tion may have been entered into, and that which they
may be at the " making up," which latter is made by
the chief operators, just according as the state of their
individual accounts may happen to be ; thus the pub-
lic is completely at their mercy. No circumstances
have occurred, or from present appearances likely to oc-
cur, in the condition of the several countries whose bonds
are principally speculated in, which either held out
any expectation for arrangement With their foreign
creditors, or any prospect of
,iMthediate or even re-
mote payment of their obligations.

THE INTRUDER INTO WINDSOR

CASTLE.

The :individual who ,was discovered in Windsor
Castle on. Monday night, under . circumstances of
great suspicion, was brought to the Home-office yes-
terday for further examination. We stated his name
in our teat report to be John Quinlan ; that was in-
correct—his real name, it appears, is Thomas Ques-
ted, aged 40, and a native of Maidstone.
The prisonen was brought to the Home-office
shortly before two o'clock, in a cab. He jumped out
of the cab on its arrival' at 'Whitehall, and appeared
in excellent spirits, holding up his bundle, which is
composed of some old things tied up in a blue cotton
pocket handkerchief, and exhibiting it in a manner as
if he supposed that he had obtained a triumph; •
Since the prisoner's committal to Tothill-fields pri-
son he has behaved remarkably well, qUite calm and
collected, except when his title to the peerage is dis-
puted, and then most Amorously- asserts his supposed
right.
Mr. Hall, Chief Magistrate of Bow-street, arrived
at the Home-office before two o'clock, and after a
short delay the examination commenced. The fol-
lowing is the substance of what has taken place
The prisoner was yesterday visited at Tothill-fields
prison by Mr.' Lavies, surgeon, of Icing,street, and
I.llr. Wakefield, surgeon to C'oldbath-fields prison, and
closely examined as to his state of mind. He ap-
peared perfectly cool and collected on' every subject
but one, viz. :—That he had a title to the peerage.
The medical gentlemen inqUired what title it was
that he thought he had a right to, when he replied,
with an air of dignity, " I 'am Lord Godolphin
,D'Arcv, and every one knowS
On' tieing questioned yesterday at the Home-office,
by Mr. Hall, the unfortunate individual persisted in
stating that he was Lord Godolphin D'Arcy, that he
was unjustly kept out of his rights. and that his visit
to Windsor was merely to obtain those rights from
the Queen ; and: went qn. to state that' all the way
down" to Windsor the people saw as he passed that he
was a lord, and knew well that he had a right to the
title which he claimed; that . individuals publicly and
secretly urged him to go and establish his claim.
An uncle of the prisoner, who resides in the neigh-
bourhood 'of London, and holds a situation in the.
dock-yard at Woolricli, . was "in attendance at the
Home-office yesterday (hiring the inquiry. This
gentleman, who is a respectable man, informed the
Magistrate that the prisoner unfortunately was not
the. only one of his family who was suffering under
an aberration of intellect: He had' a sister who was
insane; that the prisoner' was an agricultural
labourer, but for a length of time had entertained the
strange delusion that he was entitled to the peerage ;
that he was, in' fact, Lord Godolphin D'Arcy.
When the pri"soner -mks discovered in the Castle he
was fast asleep, on a conch in the footmen's waiting-
room ; and when asked how he obtained admittance,
he- said that he followed a "pot-boys," which sts,te-
meat he repeated yesterday.
There" was no further evidence adduced yesterday
as to the facts attending the prisoner being found in
the Castle. The inquiry related solely as to his state
.of mind. When he was asked if he did not' think
that he was labouring under a delusion in thinking
himielf a lord, he relined, " NO, certainly not ; I am
a lord." He was then asked if the medical gentle-
men told him that he was labouring under a delusion
on the subject, whether he would not believe them,
*ind.give up his claim to the title he supposed himself
heir to ? The prisoner replied that he would not
give up his claim ; the gentlemen did not know so
much on the subject as he did—he was Lord Godol-
phin D'Arcy.
After a lengthened examinatioi no doubt remained
but that he was insane, and the medicaLgentlemen
signed a certificate to that eftct.
He was then conveFed to Tothill- fields prison, and
an order was made out for his committal to Bethlem
Hospital, and as soon as it received the signature of
the Home Secretary, the prisoner' was removed to that
place of confinement, there to remain during her Ma-
jesty's pleasure.

VISIT OF TI U MEMBERS OF THE SCHOOL OF ARTS,
EDINBURG'', TO GLASGOW.—On Tuesday, the members
of the above Institution, with a number of their friends,
and also the members of a similar institution in Falkirk,
visited this city in the way of returning the .visit re-
cently paid to Edinburgk by the members of the Glasgow
Mechanics' Institution. The total number who came to
Glasgow. by a special train, at liklf the usual fares, was
671. They were attended by a' band of music, and on
issuing from the terminus at Queen-street, were loudly
cheered by a large body of our fellow-citizens, who
waited to receive them. Throughout the day the
strangers were admitted gratis to' all our public insti-
tutions, and groups of them might be seen in every
quarter of the city prying into its curiosities, and sur-
veying its buildings. The Royal Exchange, the College
with its Museum, the High Church, and other sights of
interest; were very generally visited. In the course of
the afternoon a large number dined together, in company
with the leading members',of the Glasgow. Mechanics'
Institution ; and in the evemngthey again proceeded by
a special train to Edinburgh, which they reached at ten
o'clock.—.Glit.sgow Argus.
ALARMING INTELLIG BNCE . —WC regret to state
that man 7 anonymous letters have lately been rrNived
in the neighbourhocd of Kyre, Newnham, &c., in Hills
county, threatening the destruction- of ricks and other
diabolical acts, in consequence of which great alarm is
beginning to prevail amongst the respectable inhabitants.
We understand that Load Gifford has received two such
letters.—Worcestershire Chronicle.

SUN OFFICE Three o' Clock.

The reports from the disturbed districts continue
to be of the most tranquillizing character. In Man-
cbester,•and the neighbouring towns and villages, the
majority of the workmen evince evisry disposition to
return to their wonted labours; and even in York-
shire, where but the other day so dangerous a spirit
of insubordination 'wamanifested, matters are hourly
assuming a more pacific complexion. We confidently
trust, that, in a few days, we shall be able to con-
gratulate our readers on the restoration of order
throughout the mining and manufacturing districts
of the north. riot thefleast cheering symptom
in the case, that the cry for the " Charter, and nothing
but the Charter," has been in many instances a decided
failure. Great exertions have been made to inflame
the minds of the Turn-outs on this point, and in some
places the agitators have been successful ; but, gene-
rally speaking, they have received but little encou-
ragement to persevere in their Machinations ; the
more intelligent among the operatives have seen
through their devices, and avoided the snare laid for
them ; and their discreet example has influenced
hundreds—we may say, thousands—of their fellow-
workmen. "We understand," says a Morning Con-
temporary, " that the Turn-outs in Ashton, Stay-
leybridge, Oldham, and Rochdale, have come
to the determination that they will no longer go
for the Charter"—a significant fact, which will ac-
count for the tone of disappointment that is visible
through the blustering address of the Executive Com-
mittee of the National Chartist Association, which
has been just issued at Manchester. But though the
" Charter" has, to a great extent failed as a rallying
cry in the disturbed districts, it by no means follows,
as a necessary consequence, that it should be regarded
as a feeble and inefficient instrument of agitation.
It has an immense body of active and energetic sup-
porters scattered throughout the provinces, whose in-
. fluence will be sure to increase in exact proportion to
the want of uprightness and sagacity in the Legis-
lature. Chartism is the natural result of the dis-
appointment occasioned by the Reform Bill, and the'
incompetency of that measure, --from which such a
world of good was anticipated —to put an end
to the system of class legislation ; 'and it rests with
Government to make the " Charter" a ,mere dead
letter, or a living influential principle. Let them,do
ju3tice to the People—do it boldly and promptly,
without regard to class interests, and the " five
points" will soon sink into forgetfulness.

The French Papers of Wednesday have reached u.,
but they bring little news of interest, being chiefly
occupied by the report on the Regency Bill, which
was presented to the Chamber of Deputies by M.
D urn.: on the preceding day. The 'following are ex-
tracts :

We are informed that negotiations .are still being car-
ried on with the Belgian Government, to obtain a more
extensive treaty of commerce than the convention just
concluded.—La France.— • • ,
The Toulonnais of the 14th, states that. Admiral Hu-
,
On's squadron has returned
.to .the islands of the
Hyeres, in Consequence, as was supposed, of despatches
which had 'been received by the Admiral.
M. Paul Aubrey, editor of the Gazette de France, ap-
pealed yeSterday.to the. Court of Cessation against the
sentence of the Court of Assize of the Seine, which con-
demns him to a year's imprisonment and a fine of 12,000 f.
—Le Constitutionnel,
A letter from 'Toulon mentions a fact, which 'requires
explanation :
While the French Government seems. to •be exclu-
sively engaged in questions of internal policy, the
British Government is actively prosecuting in the Medi-
terranean the accomplishment of the work to which the
treaty of July was a great step.
"We have seep successively the agents of England
speak as masters at Constantinople and Alexandria,
intrigues at Tripoli and in Barbary, where, notwith-
standing the death of Abd-el-Gelib, English influence is
solidly established lastly, the. Consul of the same
nation has obtained from the Bey concessions which
sufficiently indicate that the influence of France has
declined in that quarter.
" But Great Britain is insatiable, and •-all this is not
enough for her ; she is now entleavourincr.,
..to have a
port, in the East ceded to her by Morocco, fit to me:Ave
her vessels. rrom this point, in case of a conflict with
France, she would incessantly threaten our possessi6its
in the North of Africa. This is a very serious matter,
of which the Cabinet of the Tuileries ought not
to be ignorant. It is evident that if England
once gains a footing in Morocco, the affair is in a good
way. She would begin by making herself mistress of
the commerce of Algeria, so that on one side would be
the sacrifice without any profit, and on the other clear
gain. Besides this, .Abtl-el-Kader, in a given case, Would
soon be enabled seriously to molest us, without our
being able to complain of any nations fur threats of hos-
tility on the part of a Chief now powerless, for the main-
spring of the tvhole would be hid from our eyes.
"It is certain that the English Consul-General has
been for some time. engaged in negotiations with the
Emperor, Abd Herraman, for the conclusion of a treaty
of commerce, including the cession of a place on the
coast, to receive ships.
" We cannot too strongly urge the Government to
watch the proceedings of the English agents in the Bar-
bary States, and, above all, not to suffer England to fix
an establishment in the vicinity of our African posses-
siens."—Le Commerce. . .
