TUE QUERN'S Btran-witv.--ritivr.--Thursday last
being appointed for the celebration of her Majesty's
birthday, the vessels lying in the river hoisted their
colours and signal flags, and the various rope and sail-
makers premises in the neigh lit turhood of the Broomie-
law. Towards evening an immense crowd collected in
the Green, amounting at one time to no less than tire
thousand persons, were collected, and commenced to de-
molish the paling, for the purpose of feeding a buntire
that had been kindled near to Nekon's-monument. Not
content with this, an attempt was marks to unmoor the
boats at the humane Society llonse, but the police inter-
fering in time prevented this object from being etfketei,
A number of the police force were stationed at the foot
of the Saltmarket, and at the east, end of London street
and Monteith-row, to preserve the peace • but when the
unruly proceedings broke out, those at the former place
found themselves unable to cope with the riot.ers. A.
message was then sent to-Captain Millar fin• an :addition
to their force, when the Superintendent immediately sllt
nut with all the available at his command, and
commenced to clear the Green of the- belli-
gerents ; but they were assailed with every sort of
utissile that could be laid hold of—stobs, stones, and
gravel; and a number of his men were severely hurt. At
one time the police were nearly overpowered, but through
the admirable arrangements of 'Captain Miller, they
were enabled to arrange themselves for a moment, under
cover of Nelson's gOintlnelit, and then issued out on the
mob, who Bed before them in the direction of Calton
and Brideton. all the while throwing stones at the police,
who continued to pursue them the length of John-street,
hat ns this wits the boundary of their jurisdiction they
could not proceed further. In John-street, the windows
of the Relief Church there were demolished, and the
railing broken down. A number of the rioters . wtre
taken into custody. In London-street and Monteith-row
a great many panes of glass %yea• destroyed—in one shop
alone, no less than nine panes out of twelve were demo-
lished. We understand that, in consequence of the pre-
sent distress, neither the Town Councillors nor Police
Commissioners, drunk the Queen's health, as they usually
do ; and for the .same reason, we understand, there was
no review on the Grcen.—Glasyow Saturday Post.

unate Sufferers by the late Events in Affghanistan.
The following appeal to the Indian community has been eir-
sulated by the desire of the Commander-in Chief in India, and
fssli explains the objects of the proposed fend, which, in the
coarse or a few days, at two or three military stations, had
amounted to-upwards of 11,000 rupees.
Head Quarters, Camp Bussec Kusba, March 12, 1842.
" 'lhere are few eases in which the Commander-in-Chief
sanctions the eireul3tion of papers, for charitable subscriptions,
without reluctance, feeling that individuals may make donations
who would not spontaneously do so, oc may be induced to give
Po their inconvenience. On the present occasion this feeling
des nut exist. The sufferings of our fellow-soldiers on the
retreat from Cahoot, and the distresses of their widows and
fatherless children, w:II meet the Sympathy of all, and the
misery of those who have no claim upon Government for pay or
pension, end many of the widows, will readily receive relief
!rem those who can afford it.
" I am, therefore, desired by his Excellency to circulate this
paper, end to add that the donations will be for the relief of
such of oar countrywurnen as have either had husbands killed in
the late disaster* in Affghanistan, or whose husbands, being
yet alive, arc in the hands of the enemy ; or for their children ;
also for the relief of all other persons, followers of the camp
-aim have no claim upon the Government for pay or pension, to
be lett to the discretion of a ronitaittee.
" The General 011iter commanding the Siihind division will
be requested to form a Committee at Kurnaul, for inquiring
into the taws of all applicants, and to distribute the funds; and
branch committees will be formed at l'exhawur, Ferozepore,
and Loodiauah, to carry the object of the fend into effect.
" The subscribers at Futtehgurh and Delhi, and all other

sought to sell the unbought rights of a free citizen for
money.

The dreadful destruction. of - the British army in
Caubul has reduced to misery some thousands of women
.and children, many of whom have no legal claims upon
the Government. It is estimated that the number of
camp followers who quitted Caubul, with the British
troops, after the murder of the lamented Sir WILLIAM
M`NAGIITEN, was not less than five thousand, nearly the
whole of whom havaperished; the rest still remaining in
captivity. The mass of misery produced by this terrible
catastrophe is so frightful that the Commander-in-Chief
of the Britiskarmy in India has authorised the raising
of a subscription for the relief of the sufferers. This
course is' 81 unusual on the part of a Commander-in-
Chief, that its adoption on this occasion is the best
proof of the utter destitution of those fur whom
the appeal is . made. Heavy as are the demands
upon the charity of the wealthy classes, we trust that
the prayer now addressed to them fur the relief of the
soldier's widow and orphans, ,by a Gallant Veteran
Officer will not be made- in vain. A fraction of the
sums squandered by the affluent upon useless luxuries
may suffice to save the lives of hundreds of our fellow-
subjects now dying with hunger in a foreign land. We
never scruple to profit by the victories of our gallant
troops. We ought as little to hesitate to relieve the.
sufferings of their ►wives and children, when, for a brief
space, victory deserts the British standard.

We really ought not to be angry with our French
Contemporaries when they seek to persuade their Go-
vernment that a people are never so patriotically em-
ployed as when resenting fancied insults by blowing out
the brains of their neighbours. Fighting is with them
as much a passion "s the love of dress is a passion with
the fair sex. On the slightest fancied provecation, they
are ready to-day to make war on their clearest friends of
yesterday. This is well manifested in an article in the
Courrier Fiaficais of Sunday, upon a discussion in the
Chamber of Deputies, on the previous day, relative to the
French and United States' tariffs. K LEGENTIL Com-
plained that the proposed changes in the United States
tariff would greatly injure the trade of France. This
was admitted by M. GUIZOT, who said that the French
Government had made remonstrances, which if not at-
tended to, recourse might be had to reprisals in the shape
of increased duties upon the importation of American
produce. Now this "war of tariffs" is openly denounced
by the Courrier Francais- That journal is for remon-
strance at the cannon's mouth. If the Americans will
not modify the tariff to please France, the Courrier
affirms that the true remedy is at once to declare war
against the Republic. Why it is not four days since
the Courrier Francais assured its readers that the Ame-
ricans were the dearest friends and allies of France
ready to join them in crushing England, should she per:
sist in enforcing a right of search. And now war is to
be declared against them for choosing. to increase their
tariff ! Verily, public writers in France regard war as
a very trifling affair.
As this tariff question is important, we subjoin r., sum-
mary of the debate in the French Chamber of Deputies
concerning it :

SUN OFFICE Three o'Cloch.

Mr. PArINGTON, the Member for Droitwich, has given
notice of a motion for extending the provisions of the
London Police it'd, as regards the closing of public-
houses, to every other part of the United Kingdom. As
this notice was given before the Public-houses Bill went
through Committee, and that clause to which the Hon.
Member's motion refers had been struck out, we hope he has
given up all idea of forcing such an obnoxiouslaw upon the
rest of the community. Independent of the great incon-
venienee caused to the .public by closing up public-
houses at twelve on Saturday night, we have
every reason to believe that the change has in
creased immorality, and led numbers of worthless people
to establish houses for the illicit sale of spirits, to the
great injury of the fair trader. Over these places the
police have no control ; they can be reached only by
means of informations ; the profits are considerable, and
the keepers of them are thus enabled. to bribe persons
who might threaten to bring them before a Magistrate.
But the inconvenience caused by such absurd regulations
in London is only trifling compared with that which would
be felt in the country, where licensed victuallers would be
harassed by informations without end. Travellers on Sun-
day would be exposed also to great inconvenience in pro-
curing necessary refreshment during part of the after-
noon, ':and the whole of the forenoon Of that day.
Were any real benefit derived from such a law,
we should be the last to oppose it ; but being
firmly convinced that the evil fur overbalances the
good, we call upon the publicans, as well as the people in
genera), to get up meetings, and petition the Legisla-
ture against this wanton interference with their business
and mode of living. The day fixed for the further con-
sideration of the Report on the Bill is Wednesday, the Ist
of June, when Mr. PAKINGTON, or, failing him, Mr.
PLuarrrnE, will probably attempt to attach to it sonic
such clause as that proposed. The licensed
victuallers have no small influence at elections;
at the last general election they returned a
great number of Members, and among the rest, the
author of the Bill, Captain bons, and if they fail, there-
fore, to take advantage of their circumstances,
they have themselves only to blame. They are
sufficiently restricted already by Police Acts,
and the licensing system ; their trade, we hear from

many- gnart►'r.:, is worse than it has been for many years;
and'were such an infliction as this to be added to their
other.burdens, the probability is, that, in a short periot',
not a few of them would be bankrupts.

Lord Jong RUSSELL and Sir ROBERT PULL %cert.:
exceedingly, annoyed last night, because Mr. Hum}, told
the Horne that neither the Tory nor Whig leaders were
sincerely desirous of putting down bribery at elections
Sir ROBERT PEEL Was willin?; to concur in a measur,.
fir allowing the ATTORNEi-GENERAL to prosecute
electors convicted of the crime or selling their
votes, but with his usual Jesuitical carmine
-
reserved to himself the right of detßi:inining kovt
far he should go in rendering that
measure
effective. Let Lori J. RUSSELL and Sir 11.,PELL, say
what they please, the Hon. Member for Aiontrose is
perfectly right. The wealthy Whig and Tory nrist 0-
cracy delight in extending bribery, which, by itnrsing
the expenses of election contests, keep men of i
limited
means, and near:y all honest men, out of the House of
Commons. No candidate can now presume to stand
for such boroughs as Ipswich, Nottingham, Lewd..
and an hundred more besides, who is not . pre
pared to spend in bribery, direct and indirect, sims vary
itg from 2,0001. to 8,000/. This eflectnally keeps out of
the Hotisl of Commons, as the representatives of those
boroughs, such troublesoree men as Mr. ROEBUCK, or
such honest men as the Hon. Member for Montrose. It
is, moreover, a sort of guarantee that the Member
returned is a person more remarkable for his
wealth than his integrity, and every way quali-
fied for presentation at Court, and a seat at the
dinner-table of the Premier of the clay, or the leader of
the Opposition. If the suppression of bribery and cor-
ruption be left to the great AVhig and Tory chiefs, they
will flourish while the House of Commons has an
existence. The l eople must take up the question.
Ylae pure constituencies of the kingdom must no longer
allow their influence to be swamped by the impure. The
first step to be taken is to pass a Bill for the distrait.
obioment for life of every elector convicted of receiving
- bribe. No other punishment will carry with it such a
wholesome fear as this. It will be the mark of CAIN by
high' kis tml,orit children:will learn that their father

M. Legentil directed the attention of Government to a sys-
tem of imposition practised by the American authorities to-
wards foreign merchants, which, if it continued much longer,
must, he said, end in the complete rupture of all commercial
relation between France and tbe United States. According to
the new tariff, now before Congress, the import duties of 20
per cent. would be shortly raised to 30. This tariff, combined
with a duty ad valorem, another on the weight, so that aer-
tain goods, and the silks amongst others, would be liable to
pay a duty ad valorem and a weight duty, which on an average
would amount to 15 or 20 per cent. also—in all to 35 per
cent. The wines and other products of France were to
be subjected to similar extortions on their importation
into the United States. The latter, on the other hand,
with a view to compel foreign nations to consume
their tobacco and flour, were about to lay a tax of
10 per cent. on the products of the countries which did
not admit those two articles on the same terms on
which they were introducosi into America ; so that the pro-
duce 01 France will shortly be burdened with another duty in
addition to the general duty of 30 per cent. M. Legentil then
recapitulated the advantages which France had conferred on the
United States, and which entitled the former to inure gratitude
on their part. France imported 175,000,000 of American pro-
ducts, whilst she exported to the , United States only
136,000,000. Of the 80,000,000 of kilogrammes annually per-
chased by France. 79,000,000 were of American growth; of
the 7,000,000 of kilogrammes of imported foreign flour, 6,000,000
proceeded from the United States, and of the 13,000,000 of to-
bacco, 8,500,000 were raised in America. M. Legentil then
showed that the duties levied in France on Ameriean products
did not exceed JO or 11 per cent. ; and concluded, should the
Americans persist in :heir pretensions, by recommending that
France abrogate the Navigation Act of in 2, which assimilates
the vessels of the United States to those of France, and recur
to reprisals.

The Minister for Foreign Affairs, in replying to M. Le-
gentil, admitted thst the measures about to be enforced by the
United States were likely to be most injurious to the trade of
France. Impressed with that persuasion, the French Govern-
ment had, during the last year, repeatedly addressed to the
United States the most urgent remonstrances, but it was im-
possible for him to tell what would.be the result of those repre-
sentations and negotiations, because of the financial and
internal crisis now prevailing in the United States, which
prompted the latter to adopt extreme measures as respected
reprisals. M. Guizot observed, that if they militated
against the United States without injuring France,
recourse should be instantly had to that expedient ;
but he thought that France could not with safety increase the
import duties on the raw materials constituting the great ele-
ment of her manufactures. With regard to the navigation
duties the ease was different, but M. Guizot would not express
any opinion on that subject, the question nos undergoing se-
rious examination before a Committee composed of most com-
petent and enlightened men ; but when they should have made
known to him their advice, he would propose to the King's
Government such measures as appeared to him practicable
and expedient, and be ever guided by the principle that re.
prisals are good only inasmuch 'as they effect the interests of
others without injuring those of France.
M. Grandia, who followed the Minister, denounced another
vexation to which French merchants were exposed at the
hands of the American authorities. There being no bonding
stores in the United States,. as in France, goods intended for
re-exportation are subjected, on being landed, to pay the same
duties as if they were intended for domestic consumption.
The payment of those duties was required in specie ; but when
the merchants claimed the restitution of the duty, on the re-.
exportation of the bonded goods, it was paid back in paper at a
loss of from 15 to 20 per cent. This was, he said, a real spoil-
ation, and a prooceeding unworthy of a civilized country.
N. Mermilliod, the deputy for Havre, who spoke next, ex-
pressed a hope that the decision of the American Congress
would be influenced by the representation of France and the
other countries, and advised the Government to renew them
with additional energy.
The question was then dropped, and the Chamber proceeded
to dismiss the other items of the budget. .

We have the following letter from Toulon of the 17th of May
" The journals are in the wrong in announcing the speedy
arrival of the Prince de Joinville. The despatches received by
the second in command of the Belle Poule, announces, on tin;
contrary, the departure of the Prince for London, and orders
have been given to the frigate to join the Vice- Admiral, in
order to take part in the manoeuvres of the squadron. It is to
be presumed that the Belle Poole will afterwards go to Cher-
bourg, if, as has been announced, the Prince is to go to the
South Seas; but it will wait for him in our port, in case no
change is made in his proposed cruise in the Mediterranean.
Nothing; however, is yet fixed."— Constitutionnel.
The i%ledea frigate sailed for Toulon on the 17th, to join
the squadron of Admiral Hugon uff the Ilyrres Islands. 'that
squadron left those islands on the ILth, and it. is thought that
it will not return to port for some time. All the vessels of the
squadron sent on that day all the sick they had on board by the
Veloce steamer to Toulon.

The mail from Africa, which was expected every moment
had not arrived at Toulon on the JBth.

A letter from Munich, of the 15th of May, which has been
communicated to us, says that amidst the enthusiasm which iw
everywhere manifested to relieve the sufferers by the fire at
klamburgh, it may seem surprising that Bavaria shows no sign
of sympathy. The sole cause. says the writer of the letter, is
the absence of the King, who is so jealous that no person can
venture to propose a subscription, however urgent the necessity
may be, without his • previous permission. I am persuaded,
says the writer, that as soon as the King is informed of the
aster of flaniburgh, he All be as generous as the, other Ger-
man princes, and will allow his subject& to follow their chari.
table inclinations; but he is in 6icily, and the delay which will
result from this circumstance will deprive thoser at t? genero-
sity of the promptitude and spantaneousuc,ss whieh -i;onstitute '
a great part of their merit.— Commerce.

LAW AND POLICE.

William Halford, a fellowship porter, appeared at Guildhall
yesterday, to answer the charge of Charles flower oft, the calf
of whose leg he had severely bitten, while being conveyed on
conviction by that turnkey to the Giltspur-street prison. Mr.
Alderman Thompson ordered, that as the prisoner had behaved
like a mastiff, he should be treated as one, and his teeth filed or
drawn by the prison surgeon. The defendant having repeatedly
cried for mercy on this score, he was permitted filially to make
compensation.
Yesterday, William Wheels, the conductor of one of Powel's
Brentford omnibuses, was charged with assaulting a gentleman
of the name of Burrell, residing at No. II i, Long Acre. The
plaintiff had refused to pay Is. for what he considered a six-
penny fare, upon which the defendant made efforts to throw
him down. The Magistrate severely remarked on this ruffianly
con.luct, and fined him the highest penalty, 5/., which was
paid.
