THE SUN,_ LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 24, 1845

with the prayer of the petitioners. He said that, in
1840, the same gentlemen whose names were appended
to the document in the hands of the Duke of RICHMOND
had made an application to him to lay their case before
the throne ; but that he (the Duke of WELLINGTON)
had stated to thorn that these were subjects -which
it remained with the Sovereign and his ad-
visers, and with them alone, to deal with ;
that he had never, either in his military or his
official capacity, assumed the office of interposing in the
manner now prayed, although, when he had been
honoured with the commands, on repeated occasions, of
the Sovereign of this country, and of foreign Sovereigns,
to recommend to them officers for honorary distinction,
he had al ways promptly done so. in terms (he trusted)
not unsatisfactory to those efficers themselves. And he
had, accordingly, recommended to those gentlemen to
make their application to the Sovereign through the
proper authority. He had since instituted careful in-
quiry, but had been wholly unable to trace either the
fact of such application having been made, or any offi-
cial record thereof ; but he believed that a petition,
in all respects similar to this, was some time ago pre-
sented to the House of Commons.
These objections of form, and even the principle of
them, we can fully enter into on the part of the Noble
Duke, whose long connexion with civil office, and whose
experience of courts, have doubtless qualified him to speak
with as much authority on these as on purely military
matters. But we can neither bring ourselves to take
the same view of the difftrence which the Gallant
Duke insisted on as taking the case of these Peninsular
officers out of the same category with the case of those
who achieved the battle of Waterloo, the triumphant
close of the operations in Affgbanistau, and the success-
ful demonstration of our forces in China ; nor perceive
the good taste and delicacy of so disparaging a compari-
son in the mouth of the illustrious Marshal who made it.
After remarking on the numerous honours already
awarded to officers who had served in some of the prin-
cipal affairs of the Peninsular campaigns, he denied that
the services of the petitioners in these campaigns gave
them a claim to any general distinctions or honours such
as had been granted in honour of the battle of Waterloo,
and of the campaigns beyond the north-western frontier
of India, and on the shores of China. These latter were
in the nature of signal and decisive victories, which had
re-established the peace of empires, and illustrated the
reputation of our arms and our prowess at moments of
singular exigency. This had been eminently the case
with the battle of Waterloo, and in consideration
of that fact, the Crown had granted medals, not
only to the General commanding and other
officers, but to every individual in our army
who had been present in that great conflict. For
reasons, in the force of which he, the Duke, entirely con-
curred, a Noble Earl (Lord ELLENBOMOUGH) had re-
commended a similar coarse to be adopted with regard
to those armies, composed of our European and our
Sepoy troops, who had retrieved by their distinguished
gallantry iu the last actions fought in the Punjaub, the
disasters of Caubul—" the most signal reverses which
had happened to our arms during the last sixty years."
Dismissing these Asiatic triumphs, as less germane to
the matter in hand, we must contend that his Grace took
a somewhat invidious, and, moreover, a somewhat inte-
rested view of the superior claims of Waterloo. He com-
manded on that memorable occasion ; and without in-
tending, for one instant, to diminish by an iota his claims
upon the gratitude of the living generation, and the
admiration of posterity, for the consummate valour and
abilities displayed by him in that decisive fight, we are
to remember that it was the culminating point of his
fortunes, as well as of his renown : the immediate
fountain of those honours, whose sources have ever since
so lavishly poured out upon him their unstinted bounty.
Who brought him to its margin ? Of those who
commanded under him, the intrepid British soldiery,
who plucked the bloody laurels of Waterloo, but
few among the best and the bravest ; the most
tried, and the most generous of his companions in arms,
were present. The honourable wounds and scars that
the majority of these bore in compulsory retirement, or
on other duty, were still the living attestations of their
heroic achievements at Vimeira, at Aibufera, at Ta-
lavera, Salamanca, Badajoa, Vittoria, Orthez, Toulouse,
and a score or two of other immortal fields. Their
honours—such as they were,—their military rank,
whatever the course of their promotion—had bee

a sort of firkin possession on the territory of Tunis, and that in
consequence, as the report goes, she has for this object sent rein-
forcements to Tripoli. In fact, news had been received that for
some time past Turkish troops were landing at Tripoli, by detach-
ments of from 200 to 400, and even 800 men. We do not believe
that the Porte really wants to make a serious demonstration, nor
should it, besides, be believed that an invasion of the regency of
Tunis is so easy a matter. Men who have studied the ground
with care affirm that a Turkish army, unless it were a very con-
siderable one, far more considerable, indeed, than the actual re-
sources of the Ottoman empire affbrd, could not traverse with safety
the eighty leagues
which separate Tripoli from Tunis. We arc
therefore persuaded that more importance is attached to the projects
of the Porte than they merit. But, however that may be, we
have no doubt that the French Government has already deemed it
right to address to its Ambassador at Constantinople precise In-
structions on the point, and to have all the representations that
were necessary made to the Divan. At all events several vessels
have been sent to Tripoli, and two ships of thiline to Tunis."

In relation to this subject a letter in the Presse states that
the Porte'sintention in landing, troops at Tripoli is to attempt
a coup de main on Gerbi, and then to effect a rising in the
south-eastern part of the regency, with the view of marching
against Tunis.
The Presse announces that the QUEEN of Spain left Barce-
lona on the 18th, for Saragossa and the Basque Provinces.
The Cr'obe, alluding to the reports in circulation about
a dissolution of the Chamber of Deputies, has the fol-
lowing :

" All that has been said on this subject is the most gratuitous
and improbable invention. Undoubtedly, no one can pretend to
know the future; but, unless some event should occur radically to
change the present situation, it would be difficult to explain how
the Cabinet could hope for a firmer and more united majority on
all the great questions.".

The Duke and Duchess of NEMOURS are to set out to-day
on their journey to the Pyrenees. Their Royal Highnesses
are expected to be at Gueret on the 26th inst , at Limoges on
the 28th, at Libourne on August 4, and at Bordeaux on the
sth. Their Majesties will not take their departure for En
until the commencement of August.

The celebrated violinist APTANT died of consumption at
Ville d'Avray, near Paris, on the 20th inst., at the early age
of 30.

The KING gave a dinner, on Sunday, at Neuilly. Among
the guests were the Duke DE RIANZARES, M. D. CORTES,
Secretary to the QUEEN ; the CheYalier BEESSON, French
Ambassador to the Court of Spain; the Prince D'AXGLONA,
and the Duke D'OSSUNA. His MAJESTY conversed a good
deal with the Duke DE RIA...NzArtEs and M. D. CORTES, who,
it is said, declared to his MAJESTY that the health of the
Queen of SrAIN would not permit of her being married at
present.

PORTSMOUTH. JULY 24.—The first division of the
76th left here this morning, for Manchester, and will be
replaced by the 68th Light Infsntrv,y from Dover. The
report of Sir Thomas Hasbury's being appointed to
succeed Captain Bobier° at the Ordnance-office has given
great satisfaction here. The want of a naval officer in
that department has long been needed, and frequently
impressed upon the Government by Sir Charles Napier.
Rumour assigns also the command of the Excellent to
Captain Chads, an officer who served with much gal-
lantry in China.

WAKEFIELD, PONTEFRACT, AND GOOLE RAILWAY.—
We are authorised to state that the preamble of this Bill
was proved yesterday, and the promoters allowed to com-
mence the works immediately between Pontefract and
Goole, and between Wakefield and Pontefract immedi-
ately, by " consent in zerpting of the landowners," until
application is made to Parliament for the branch to
Leeds, when full compulsory powers commence.

The " Admiralty Memorandum," introductory to a
supplementary vote, "to provide for an increased
retirerncni; allowance to 300 Captains of her Majesty's
Nary," and which we published in our impression of
yesterday, appears to us (on the cursory perusal we
have yet found time to devote to it) an exceedingly
judicious and wise scheme of compensation and reward,
and to be well calculated to secure to the country an
immediate supply of efficient officers, of ages at which
their professional and physical powers may be sup-
posed to have attained their full vigour and maturity.
We shall speedily recur to this important paper.

earned, not as after a campaign of a few weeks deter•
mined in a single pitched battle, but in the course (tor
the most part) of lung, hard, and hazardous services ;

under manifold privations ; against enormous odds, in
the midst of general engagements, or the devastating
slaughter of storms and sieges. Their arms, their en-
thusiastic attachment to him, their fidelity to his re-
nown, and their country's confidence, bore him to the
crowning triumphs of 1814. A treacherous peace of a
few brief months returned some to the bosoms of their
families, others to the peaceful occupations of half-pay
retirement. A single but terrible battle, crowned by a
sanguinary victory, was fought by us in the follow-
ing year ; and since then war has not subsisted

DERRY'S ridiculous, but characteristic protest against
officers of the ar:ny addressing themselves on an occa-
sion of this kind, whatever the circumstances that may
have preceded it, to either House of Parliament. It is
happy for the army that Parliament exists for them, as

well as every other class of the QUEEN'S subjects, to
make all constitutional appeals to.

Madrid journals to the 16th Inst. have been received. We
find in the Gacela a bulletin dated Barcelona, the 12th, and
signed by General NARVAEZ, announcing that the Captain-
General had just returned, after restoring order wherever it
had been disturbed, and leaving several columns to pursue
such of the rebels as had fled to the mountains. The bulletin
added that, on the 17th, the QUEEN would proceed by sea to
Valencia, and that troops had been marched to that town.
According, however, to a more recent communication, the
Court had, in conseqaence of the re-establishment of order in
the province of Catalonia, determined to proceed, on the 17th,
to Saragossa. which place they were expected to reach on the
20th. The Ministers remaining at Madrid still intended to
be at Saragossa, on the 24th, in order to compliment the
Queen-Mother on the occasion of her birth-day.
The claims of the Infante Don HENRY to the hand of the
QUEEN are viewed with increased favour every day. La
Guia del Contmercio supports his claims in the most enthu-
siastic manner. At a meeting of the editors of the Pro-
gressista journals held on the 15th, it was agreed that they
should give no opinion on the subject of the QUEEN'S mar-
riage, and that they would not propose ahy candidate of their
own. The kingdom was perfectly tranquil.

We have received the Paris papers. They all publish the
article from the Moniteur Algeria (which will be found in
another column) on the subject of the massacre at Dabra.
This article may be considered as the official defence of the
transaction, and in it the responsibility of the whole affair is
thrown on Marshal BUGEAUD, inasmuch as Colonel PELIS-

stets "had only used the means recommended to him by
the Governor-General." '1 he article appears in the Govern-
ment papers without a word of comment, but the Oppo-
sition journals animadvert on the conduct of Marshal
BETGEMID in terms of just severity. We give the following
from the Commerce as an example of the tone of the Oppo-
sition journals on this occasion :
" When so cruel an act takes place in the course of a war by the
force of danger, and the urgent necessity of defence, humanity is
afflicted, but the excuse goes hand in hand with the evil. It is
another thing to prepare beforehand, to calculate and command
cruelty as a means ; and, what is still worse, is to attempt to justify
by cold reasoning such a system of warfare. Marshal Bugeaud
says that philanthropy would render war impossible. This may
be ; but without a certain degree of philanthropy war becomes
odious and abominable."

On the subject of the rumoured landing of a Turkish force
at Tripoli, the Journal des Debats says:—
" It is well known that every year, about the same period, it is
regularly rumoured that the Ottoman Porte is preparing an in-
vasion of the regency of Tunis. The Turkish feet had, in fact,
the custom of annually cruising in these latitudes; it was an exer-
cise which appeared to have become necessary to it. This year
nothing is said of the fleet, but a land expedition is spoken of, and
it is reported that a considerable body of Turkish troops has been
landed in the regency of Tripoli, to enter by that road into
the territory of the Bey of Tunis. We can easily comprehend,
and indeed we share, the interest which all that concerns the
safety of the Tunisian territory excites in France. It is certain
that our own security, as possessors of Algeira, is intimately connected
with any events that may take place on this part of our frontier ;
and up to the present time, whenever the Ottoman Government
has appeared desirous of making a demonstration on that side, the
French Government has shown, by sending out some men-of.
war on the coast, all the interest which it took in the mainte.
nance of tranquillity in the Regency of Tunis. As to what con-
cerns the pretended plans of invasion by land, we believe that they
are as exaggerated as were formerly those of a naval expedition.
However, they are not without foundation ; and this, if we are wall
wormed, is what has given rise to the reports in circulation. There
is at present a war going on, on the frontier of Tunis and of Tripoli,
tribes, which dispute with each other about a portion of

There are no arrivals to-day.
The English Stock Market is very quiet, and there is no
particular alteration in prices. Consols have been 99 to %
for Money, and 99% for Account. Exchequer Bills have been
545. to 565. premium. New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.
are 102% %.
Business in the Foreign Market is very inactive. Spanish
Three per Cents. have been firmer at 374, and Peruvian
have been up to 38% to 39.
The market for Railway Shares has been vacillating
again ; and what with the London and York decision, and
the anxiety about t he broad gauge, there is certainly enough
to occasion fluctuation. There is a new foreign line-the
Central Sardinian-about to be brought on the market.
Respecting Railway investments, a writer says
" The combined exertions of private persons, unburdened
by the patronage and unrepressed by the interference of the
Executive Government, have made still greater conquests
over nature. Sums of money, so vast as to startle the un-
derstanding, have been contributed, and in the main profita-
bly to the subscriber, for the construction of railroads, which
in so undulating a country as England must needs be nearly
level, filling up valleys and preforating mountains, which
could not avoid impediments by sudden curves, and which
had every physical difficulty aggravated, and the pecuniary
cost greatly increased by the restrictions of the Legislature.
Ey means of these railroads distances, which at no very re-
mote period required four days to travel by the common roads,
are now traversed with ease and certainty in ten hours. More
than 2,000 miles of railway have been constructed within
twenty years, at an expense of nearly seventy millions of
pounds, voluntarily contributed by individuals, in the exer •
cise of their own discretion, subject to their own control, and
with a view to their own profit-a view which, if sometimes
disappointed, has been generally realised, and often to an ex-
tent far exceeding the most sanguine expectations of the
speculator."

SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY

(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BuacHILL. )
BC NDERDA LE V. ROBERTSON.
New PUBLIC COMPANIES, &c.—This was an action
brought by the plaintiff to recover the sum of 91., as clerk to an
association for obtaining subscriptions for a testimonial, called
the " Symington Testimonial." The defendant is editor of
the Mechanics' Magazine.
Mr. WILDE, who appeared for the plaintiff, said that the
claim was for services rendered to this society, or committee,
from February 10 to May 3.
Mr. C. J. Payne examined—Was introduced in November
or December last to the defendant Mr. J. Clinton Robert-
son, and was appointed secretary to the committee by Bowey,
and after some conversation as to the construction of the com-
mittee, defendant said the first thing they must do was to en-
gage offices and hire a clerk, and report to him when he had
done so. Took offices in Cornhill, and engaged plaintiff, who
commenced his duties on the 10th of February. Communicated
these facts to defendant. Plaintiff was engaged at 155. a week.
Plaintiff remained until the 10th of M.
Cross-examined by Mr. THOMAS—ToId defendant what he
bad done, but not until three or four days after plaintiff went.
Defendant did not say he would not have anything to do with
the expenses. Witness did not say he should not; nothing
was said about it till the 18th of February. Witness and Mr.
Parish, who was joint secretary with him, signed a letter that
they would bear the expenses, but the arrangement under
which it had been written had gone off and the money was
never collected. Plain:df applied for his money to defendant
six weeks afterwards, and defendant said he had nothing to do
with it. Witness ordered furniture by direction of defendant.
He also ordered wine, and drank part of it with the committee.
—(Laughter)—Mr. Bowey. a surgeon, Dr. M'Lean, and
others. Was formerly secretary to the Oriental Life Assur-
ance. Left that about two years ago. At a conversation
with defendant on the 17th February, he asked what would be
the best way of paying the secretaries, and said it occurred to
him the better plan would be to pay them a per centage, and
said he would speak to a Mr. Gould and the other committee.
men and fix it the next day, w hen they were to have a meeting.
Defendant said then that he had nothing to do withthe expenses;
the next day a meeting took place, defendant, Mr. Gould, Mr.
Bowey, Mr. Parish, and witness were present. It was proposed that
the secretaries should have 101. per cent. for their trouble, and
bear the expenses, but this was declined ; another proposal was
made and agreed to ; the letter was the basis of that agreement,
but it was never carried into effeet. Witness had paid the
porter, because he was a poor man, and had supplied the office
with coals. Was engaged at the same time with Mr. Bowey
in forming the " Cambrian I,ife Office." Had nothing to do
with it, but from hearsay he believed it was still being carried
on by Mr. Bowey.
Re. examined_Witness had not received a sixpence for his
trouble in forming the committee.
Mr. THOMAS addressed the jury, and contended, that even
admitting there was a liability, it could only be for one week,
for it was clear that on the ldth the witness himself under-
took, and Mr. Robertson, the previous day had denied the
liability.
The UNDER-SHERIFF said it did not appear to him that
any agreement made on the lath could affect the plaintiff.
Mr. THOMAS then addressed the jury on the merits, and called
Mr. Archibald Broomen, agent for patents in Fleet-street,
who deposed that he was clerk to defendant, and anticipated
becoming partner. In April, plaintiff called and asked for his
salary. He said he had been sent by Mr. Payne, but knew
very well he had no claim on Mr. Robertson.
Cross-examined—Wrote that down at the time. Had been
applied to by the landlord and other persons on matters con-
nected with the Symington Committee, but knew nothing
about it. Did not remember the conversation, but knew Mr.
Robertson was not a committeeman.
Mr. WILDE replied.
The UNDER- SHERIFF summed up, and
The jury found a verdict for 91.
Mr. Tflostatmoved for a reduction of the amount, as there
had been a repudiation of the plaintiff's services at least on the
9th of April.
The UNDER-SHERIFF thought there was no reason to re-
tain the writ.

It was not stated in any part of the proceedings what the
Symington Testimonial" was.

ICING or frorAAND.—Th4 General Steam Navigatio
Company's mail-packet Ocean arrived at 131ackwall Idea
this day. Captain Bast repurts that he left Rotterdam with
the Cyclops steamer, having the King of Holl aid on
board. The Oc.ian lost sight of the Cyclops last night,
but he thinks she may be here about four o'clock this
afternoon.

BRIGHTON, JULY 23.—The Baron L. ItOth.,Chilti
arrived here this day, by the I.acket Fame, from Dieppe.
SUNDERLAND ELECTION.—Mr. Bagshaw
Sundedand on Tuesday evening, and addressed the electors. It
would appear from his address that he concurs entirely with Colonel
Thompson in opinion in all great leading political questions, so
that the contest between them turns entirely on local and personal
considerations. It is generally thought that, before the day of
election, some arrangement will be come to, which will have the
effect of inducing one of the candidates to withdraw, so as to pre.
vent a division of the Liberal interest, which, if it continue, will
give the Conservative candidate an easy triumph. The Conserva-
tives have started Mr. George Hudson, who is expected to arrive
there this day. His Committee report that their canvass has been
most successful, many f the old Whig party having expressed
their determination to vote for him, on account of his extensive
connexion with railways, and his business habits.
SOUTH LONDON FLORICULTURAL SOCIETY.—The
third show of the flowers, fruits, and culinary vegetables, ex.
hibited under the auspices of this Society, and for the medals,
&c., they distribute, took place yesterday in the Surrey Zoological
Gardens. The collection of specimens was more than usually
good; indeed, it may be placed amongst the best collections ex.
hibited this year, or in any previous year. A great number of
prizes were awarded by the judges, who, from the uniform excel.
lence of the specimens, had some difficulty in coming to a judg.
meat as to which were the best. The pines were very fine; the
grapes were also fine. The cucumbers were of their class ad-
mirable, and the more common products of the garden showed to
what excellence horticulture has now arrived. The moat entitled to
praise among the flowers were the piccotees and the carnations.
Mr. G. Edmonds won the gold medal for the former, and Mr.
Reeves for the latter. The silver cup for the piccotees was also
won by Mr. G. Edmonds; the silver cup for carnations by Mr. J.
Edwards. Mr. B. Hawes, M.P.'s, prize of 5/. was awarded to
Mr. Bruce, and the gold medal for orchidaeeous plants to Mr.
Ayres. Unfortunately the day was unfavourable to the show.
Tents and marquees protected the company from the rain, and
great praise is due to Mr. Tyler, the lessee of the grounds, for his
excellent arrangements for the accommodation and gratification of
lA the exhibitors and visitors.
214 GovERNMENT SCHOOL OF DESlGN.—Yesterday the
46% annual meeting, and the distribution of prizes to the successful
1714 students took place at the rooms, Somerset House. The rooms
81,6 were hung with specimens of the students' skill, most of which
61% were performances reflecting great credit on the scholars them-
selves, as well as on those to whom the direction of their studies
I% has been entrusted. It was announced that the exhibition would
be open gratuitously to the public on Thursday (to-day) and on
014 Friday, between the hours of eleven and three.
