FRENCH MAIL PORTS.
(TRANSLATION.)
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Boulogne-Sur-Ater, Sept. 29, 1842.
Mr. Editor,—On the 27th instant the English
packet-boat, bearing the Dover mail, arrived off Ca-
lais, but being unable to enter that harbour she was
o!,liged to fall back upon Boulogne, at which port she
landed her dispatches. On the 28th, the weather
continuing the same as on the preceding evening, we
expected that the English mail would, as on the
previous occasion, arrive at Boulogne. We saw no-
thing of it, however, and the 'estafette from Calais
arrived here at half-past two, under the idea that the
mail packet had come direct to Boulogne. The esta-
fette was detained here until nearly four o'clock, and
at that hour, nothing being in sight at sea,. it was
sent on to Paris. About six o'clock a telegraphic
dispatch announced that the packet, with the until,
which had left Dover at half-past eight in the morn-
ing, had arrived at Calais at four o'clock, after a ,pas-
sage of eight hours. The letters could 'not be
forwarded to Paris, and will -not be until to-day.
Thus France and Europe in general will have to
suffer from a delay of 24 hours in the arrival 'of their
letters, through the absurd obstinacy of the Captains
of the English mail packets in refusing to come to
Boulogne, and that notwithstanding the orders
which have been given them to make for this
port whenever there 'is a probability that they
will be unable to reach Calais before the hour, fixed
for the departure of the estafette. No one, either at
Calais or Boulogne, had the least doubt as to the im-
possibility of the packet reaching • Calais in time,
especially after what had occurred on the previous
evening. The entrance to the harbour of Boulogne was
yesterday so easy, that the packet from London ar-
rived at eleven o'clock, and the Dover packet, with
forty-two passengers on board, and three car-
riaws, made her passage in two hours .and
fifty-five minutes. Nothing, therefore, can ex-
cuse the obstinacy of the Captain of the. English
Mail packet. As these circumstances are of
frequent recurrence, we cannot be too severe in ob-
serving on the conduct of men, who seem to make a
sport of compromising the most important interests.
It is time to put a stop to such a state of things.
•

I have the honour to be, Mr. Editor, -
Your very humble servant,
'The Mayor of Boulogne,
AL. ADAM.‘

P.S.—At this moment the English Mail Packet,
which left Dover this morning at half-past six, has
arrived at ten o'clock in the harbour of Boulogne. If
the others had thus made for this harbour instead of
endeavouring to reach Calais, those delays of which
such just complaints are made would not take place.

days
ought to be sufficient to make the Captains of die
English Mail Packets determine no longer to
compromise the public service by seeking to
avoid bringing the mail to Boulogne. Dread-
irg, no doubt, the consequences of the grave
faults which they have recently committed, by volun-
tarily delaying for 24 hours the 'correspondence of the
whole of Europe, without being able, as they have
so frequently before done, to allege the leait pretext
to excuse these delays, of which; for such a length of
time, such frequent and j ust complaints have been made,
they this day, as well as yesterday, at onCe made for
the port of Boulogne; and at ton o'clock this morning
they landed their dispatches, which will await here
until half-past one o'Clock, the arrival of,the estatette
from Calais. It is absolutely necessary that strict
measures should be taken to secure a continuance of
this impiovement, and to prevent a return of former
abuses.

Be pleased to accept, Mr. Editor, the assurance 'of
my distinguished consideration.
The Mayor of Boulogne-sur-Mer,
AL. ADAM.
P.S.—I have just learned that the estafette from
Calais was detained there yesterday, and did not ar-
rive at Boulogne until five o'clock, although the let-
ters from England were here at ten o'clock in
the morning. I have been informed that - all the
letters, except those for Paris and for Boulogne,
have had to be sent back to Calais,. where they
are sorted for the other towns. Thusi if the .esta-
fette coming from Paris had not been: delayed, so
as to take these letters from hence to Calais, or if the
packet had not arrived here until after the estafette
had passed through, all the letters for Lille. • Rouen,
llavre, and other places, would have been *delayed for
four-and-twenty hours. it is sufficient that such a
faulty arrangement should be pointed out to' secure
its correction,

FROM T/TE EVENINt:4-APERS OF SATURDAY.
GLOBE.—The Westminster Review has a
Postcript, taking curiously wavering, views of the
Corn-laws, and demonstrating notriin,,, as it ap-
pears to us, but that disposition to find tiult with
Muth parties,
which is apt to make those who in-
dulge it contradict themselves as impartially as
others. We are sorry-10 have to citicise this tail
to our trimestrial fricud's performances; as the
Review contains a very:good article on the Corn-
laws, as connected with the late disturbance,
which we are led by the initials subscribed to it to
affiliate on Mr. W. It.. Greg. The Postseriber to
the Westminster is disposed to think the new Corn-
law worse, and Lord John .Russell's pro-
ject no better than the old Corn-law. Isis
reasons for arriving at these conclusions seem to
us very indifferent. It is no business of ours to
take up the cudgels for the Peel Cornglaw ; and
the Russell -project wa& rashly shelved by those
who may not have so good an offer again. It is
• not the Reviewer's practical conclusions di it we
care so much to questioh, as his want.olperc ep-
- don, as it appears tq us,
of the principles
which must govern all`reasoning- on 'the sub-
ject.. The Reviewer spends much good itidigna-
don on the fact of -the
,revenue having .gained
a million from corn Olio year; and appears to
infer that the constimeslas therefore been taxed
more highly for bistn&l: titan he was last year,
when so much of the supply came in at the one
shilling duty; and considerably leSs than half
the contribution of this year came •to the trea-
sury. With this notion in the-Reviewer's mind,

mentof aii wBost. i ldduthayvefboreenthe made

of the o
it is not wonderful that lie thinks no
su substitution
t
But is this notion a correct one? Is there com-
mon sense in regarding 'the shilling ditty as all
that the consumer paid last 'year beyond the
natural price? Is it allowable to conclude that
all the revenue gains this year is so much out of
the pockets of the consumer, owing -to'. the
new law ? We do not enter on the question
whether any duty on food is desirable. The
answer to it must depend on whether there
is such a weight of -taxation in this Country,
pressing upon the cultivator of the soil, as to en-
title hint to-be placed oa au equal position with
his foreign competitor by extending taxation to
imports front the latter. That is a question we.
do not now undertake to ango.ver. But" it is an-
other question, whether the domestic cultivator
is 'entitled to more than this. The sliding-scale
is meant to answer that qnestioa.practically in
the affirmative. It is meant to do More than lay
equal weights on foreign imports.. on home pro-
duction. It is meant to do more-than counter-
balance the asstuned disadvantagge: of the home
cultivator. It is meant not to place competition
on fair terms, but to baffle and exclude it, as far
as possible. It is intended to prevent the corn
trade being carried on as a regular branch of
commerce. The fixed duty is intended, and cal-
culated, to make the corn trade as open as any
other.

STANDARD —The Leqpters .have derived
this advantage from the attitude of hostility to
all the interests of the, country not directly con-
nected with themselves, which they have as-
sumed-the advantage that all animadversion

character of Mere recrimination. If the sake

.Nvliet4.er..44ey are qiiite satisfied that the State
consecrates whatever
shill take,no notice of. the American Tariff,,but
leave the thing to adjust itself? The truth i. 4,
that the fallacious principle quoted can never be
admitted, whether between nation and nation, or
between man and man without placing the
weak absolutely at the mercy of the strong; ald
what the consequence must be every one is able
to judge for himself. Uncontrolled power in the
hands of human beings is 'sure to be
_abased. The
Christian is sensible of this, from the knowledge
of " man's heart;" but it is not known to the
Christian only—the wisest of Pagans and Infidels
have arrived at the same conclusion. Aristotle•
says, that a man will be unjust in nine cases
out of ten when he has the -opportunity ; and
David Hume confesses, that in legislating ,„ for
mankind it is necessary to assume' that all will
be rogues and villains if' the license, W be such is
allowed to them. If, • then, we show from evi-
dence not to be disputed that the master manu-
facturers have the power to act with.cruelty and
injustice to their labourers, and have at the same
time a motive fbr acting so, let us not be charged
with enmity to those persons, even though their
conduct in other respects might seem to justify '
resentment. We merely point to a case of the
operation of the evil Principle in our common na-
ture— a ".cams omissus" in our legislation. Re-
garding the evidence given beforefir. Ferrand's
Committee .in this light, the inquiry is relieved
at once of the odium of personal or party war-
fare; and 'it is cleared, too, of the perplex-
ity in which it has been involVed by introduc-
ing the consideration of the track system in
the island of Portland and in the agricultural
districts.- Let the question be, have the labOurers
in manufactures sutlicient.protection against that
cupidity on the part of their employers, which
cupidity is a•-common fault with all men in a
condition to indulge it? and, on the one,part, the
millowners will not. he made the. object of any
special censure ; on the other, the oppressions
practised in the agricultural or other non-manu-
facturing districts, will only add further light to
the subject: for if protected, as they, are in sonic
degree 'by the employer's apprehensions of an
increase of poor-rates, even under the present
wretched poor-law, and by the usage if not laiv,
of annual hiring in husbandry, the agricultural
labourers are still in need of further defence
against the rapacity of, their employers, how
much worse must be the condition of the la-
bourers in manufactories, who are destitute of
even these slender protections 1 •

Another failure on the Corn Exchange has to be
noticed. The firm of Messrs. Hays, Irvine, and An-
derson, has been under the necessity of suspending its
payments. The liabilities of. the house are said to
reach 100,000/., 'but, according to some reports which
were current on 'Change, they do not much 'exceed
60,000/. Two or three more cases of, suspension are
looked for to-morrow. Of one Considerable. house
there is, it is believed, no' doubt. The party was
drawn upon by the lately failed Dantzic establishment
of Lubienski and Co. ; and it is understood that ac-
ceptances of their paper to the lerge amount of 50,000/.

The German letters received in town this morning
`speak of a failure of some consequence having, taken
place at Memel. The name has not transpired, but
the house has, it seems, become involved in the pre-
vailing embarrassments of the corn trade. . A second
Dantzic house is reported to have suspended-its pay-
ments. The event is attributed to large speculations
in wheat. The firm is said to have held • 1,500 lasts,
Its liabilities are put down at 250,000 thalevs

'LONDON FASHIONS for OCTOBER:
(From the World of Fashion.)
BONNETS.—Those of the newest kind for the pre-
sent autumn are made in velours epingle of a beauti-
ful citron colour, embroidered in mauve, a single
'marabout spotted with mauve being its sole orna-
ment. Those in velvets of a light .clear red, trimmed
with elegant fancy feathers; are also in preparation :
we can assure our elegantes they have a look abso-
lutely regal. The form of . the bonnets is also com
mencmg to be worn rather shallower at the ears, and
have a rounder appearance ; a few are still being
worn composed of rich groa• de Naples, covered en--
.tirely with a light kind of tulle. The newest style
of feather worn at the present moment are the mules
eloiens, composed of the ostrich feather, partly
covered with the marabout feather, either white, pink,
blue, black, or glaces de . violet, and the follettes
Italiennes in marabout, shaded with the colour of
a vulture and mounted upon a tufted stern; these are
considered by far the most distingue kind of plume.
Flowers also are much worn, many of our elegantes
preferring them to the graceful pliime ; those most in
vogue are the touffes de roses, grenadines of all
colours in satin, or satin and Velvet, the newest
shades being the souci and theprimitive dahlia ; also
shades of lilac, emerald, and Parma violet.
CAPS.—For a morning the' prettiest style of caps
are those named less bontietS• Antoinette ; also those a

la Charlotte Corday. Some are made of tarlatane,
trimmed with Mechlin lace pose, so as to fall on
each aide in the style of the Misiritenon caps, with
ruches of verdant green ribbon placed in tufts. For
an evening, the favourite material is decidedly crepe
lisse, and tulle, embellished with flowers, such as des
grappes des Antilles, in all colours, with miniature
vine leaves in velvet, they are mostly placed at the
hack of the cap ; or the bois de Judee, with waving
branches full of flowers in their different shades, with
their delicate foliage. For home caps, the clochettos
de chine are more adopted, and garlands of roses
mignonnes de chine, covered with dew, are intended
for decorating those dressy little caps which have no
caul to them.

DREADFUL DRATII 01 A FISMAIE FROM FIRE.--
On Thursday MI% Higgi held an inquest at the De-
vonshire Arms, Queen-street, Golden-square, on the
body of' Mrs. Ann Cubitt, aged 24, wife a respect-
able uphalsterer, residing at 6, Sherrard-street, who,
since the lamentable accident. that caused her death,
has been in a state of distraction bordering upon
madness. Deceased's clothes •caught fire whilst she
was endeavouring to take off the grate a pot of
French varnish that had boiled Over, some of the
flaming liquid falling on her dress. Her husbandin try-
ing to save her was dreadfully burned, and his anguish
and agony had- been so great since, that it required
the strength of five men to hold him down In his bed.

burns. 'The hmtAnci not being able to attend, ctrl

F.OREION WOOL :TRADE LEE-DS, SEPT. 30.—The
demand for foreign wools this: week has shown rather
more animation than has bean. exhibited during the
fortnight or three weeks previous : a somewhat larger
amount of sales has been effected, -and prices are steady.
ENGLISH. WOOL INIAILKET, :LEEDS, SEPT. 30.
Sides of combing wools continue very limited, and-
late prices are with difficulty maintained. In clothing
wools we have not any, alteration to report either in
demand or prices.
TRADE OF LEEDS.—The markets at our cloth-hall:
still continue dull for cloths of all descriptions, the
principal demand being for heavy tweeds, fancy cloak-
Ings, shawls, and beaver cloths: Prices are stationary,
and the stocks in the hands of the makers are un-
usually low. There have been a great number of
drapers from the ;country in. the market during the
•week, and in consequence there has been a little im-
provement in business in the warehouses.

HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, SEPT. 27.—The demand
for all descriptions of goods is still very limited. Some
American houses have ;been rather busier, but the
general aspect of the market remains unchanged. All
hopes of an active intercourse with America have
been damped by the increased. duties upon our prin-
cipal productions, ay_id though the very ample con-
cessions of the Bi itish Ministry on the boundary
question to the Grol'ernment of the United States have
removed all fears of a rupture between the two coun-
tries, there is still.' . icar brtaiirs anetlitelfibitoiy
duties in existence, which is not less fatal to British
interests, and which the longer it is protracted, the
more ruinous will be its consequences. In "the.m6an-
time the home trade languishes for want of an impulse
from abroad. SO severe and long-continued has been.
the depression of trade, that the working classes have,
in too many instances, become , deeply involved in
debt, and it will require all their energies, even with
the aid of cheap bread, to extricate themselves : with
them, for a long time, clothing must be a secondary
consideration.

BRADFORD MARKET, TRUZSDAY.—We have had
fully as numerous an attendance of merchants at our
piece market to-day as for several weeks past, and the
inquiries for goods are chiefly for the export trade,
the home buyers at present purchasing very sparingly.
The accounts of the commencement of Leipsic fair
are considered favourable. Low, Orleans cloths are
more in demand, and prices generally the same as last
week. There is not quite so a good a demand for
yarns; buyers are acting with great caution, and offer-
ing lower rates, but this the spinners will not accede
to. The supply of all middling qualities of wools is less
abundant than for several weeks past, which is ac-
counted for by the price 'in 'the growing districts
being as high as in the market. Those staplers who
have had a stock and disposed of it, now find the
greatest difficulty to replace the like wools, and ob-
taM the slightest ,profit.—Leeds Mercury.

CHARING-CROSS HOSPITAL.
The winter session of the Charing-cross Hospital
Medical School commenced on Saturday afternoon at
three, on
__which occasion Dr. Sherman delivered

the introductory lecture. The Doctor is one
of the . old . school, and holding in proper
and orthodox abhorrence, the pestilent doc-
trines of phrenology, which lead, according to the
Doctor's ideas, to fatalism and materialism, and all
the other isms that are horrible and improper. The
phrenologists need not, 'however, stand in much dread
of the Learned Doctor, who, throughout his attack..
on their doctrines, took that for granted which he
ought to have proved,-in short, begged the whole ques-
tion in dispute. In one part of. his attack, however, he,
made a most important admission. lie said phreno-
logists were in the habit of exhibiting ' casts of 'the
head of the same individual taken at different periods
of his life, and showing= the change. which had taken
place in the phrenological,developments; but, said the.
Doctor, what is the use of showing these changes, un-
less they can show that the. change took place in the
development before the change took place in the
conduct of the individual' Vow, begging the Doc-.
tors pardon, his argument is beside the question.
should have denied that any such change in the de-
velopments ever took place. By admitting the fact,
that such a change does take, place, he admits the truth
of the fundamental doctrines of phrenology.
There was a very respectable muster of students
present.

EXTRAORDINARY ATTEMPT AT

MURDER.

A n extraordinary and most inhuman attempt was made,
yesterday week, by a man named James Mailers,
or Mallard, to murder his wife, at Hemingford, Cam-
bridgeshire. Mailers and his father-in-law lived next
door to one another, and on Sunday afternoon, during
Divine service, whilst all the persons residing in the
house adjoining his own were at church, he enticed
his wife (who is pregnant) to the brink of a well in
the back part or the premises, and, watching his op
portunity, when the unfortunate woman's attention
was engaged, he seized her suddenly and threw her
head foremost into the well, which is about ten- or
twelve feet deep. In the fall the poor creature's head
came upwards, and, as there was not more than five
feet of water in the well, she was enabled to keep her
mouth above the surface. Seeing that his object was
not likely to be effected, the murderous wretch
jumped down upon her shoulders and endeavoured to
trample her under the water. During this attempt
the struggles of the woman for life were dreadful ; anti
each time that her head rose above the surface sly'
made use of the brief breathing space to he;eech
him, in the most agonising tones, to
lure her,
promising that if he would desist ' From his de-
sign, she would not mention Do 'Word of what had
happened. He replied that 'he had gone too far
to stop, and she would hang him if he spared her
life Moved at last, either by the fear that somebody
would arrive, or by pity for his victim, he relented,
got a ladder, and helped het out. The moment she
was inside her bedroom, she had the presence of mind
to lock the door. He tried to get into the room, but
not succeeding made his escape. When the monster's
father-in-law returned from church the circumstances
became known, and the Magisterial authorities hav-
ing been made acquainted with them, the poor woman's
deposition was taken down, and a warrant issued for
the apprehension of the prisoner, who is supposed to
have come to London.

Captain Marryat's new novel, "Percival Keene,"
if it does not eclipse " Peter Simple" in the favour of
the public, bids fair to rank as the next best produc-
tion of this popular writer. " Percival Keene (says
Tail's, Magazine) is the antipodes of 'Peter Simple.'
Both are sea boys, both tell their own stories, both
run through an extraordinary course of vicissitude
and adventure, and. find nearly the same good fortune
at last ; but here.the resemblance closes. Peter is the
most open-hearted, unsuspecting, and generous of
fictitious heroes; Perceive-dl Keene a shrewd,
knowing, getting-on fellow, with utter disregard for
everything below the sun, save his own interests and
advancement. 'Percival Keene' is among Captain
Marryat's best tales. Besides several capital sea cha-
racters (and land or world ones too), it contains sea-
fights and wild and stirring adventures by flood and
