Cargoes of slaves, paid for on the coast, have gone to and have. after the usual mortality of the voyage, arrived in Martinique and Guadalonpe,• there to be apprenticed and to work foe ten long dreary years at the miserable pittance of some II francs a month-- which is leta than a free African can earn in theme islands per week; and out of it has to be gra dually deducted the it purchase-money on the coast, the expense of transporting them to the West Indies, and profit of M. the contractor.

Alias, it will be recollected, informed no that the Imperial Commission entrusted to him directed him to purchase free Africans. We, in reply, told that gentleman there were no free Africans to buy. And what says Consul CAMPBELL ? 4. Ills Imperial Majesty of France having taken to purchase "—not free Africans but " shires in this quarter." Thus the falsehood about a cargo of free Bros boys having been shipped disappears, and the truth that negroes in a state of Blaiery at Lagos have been bought on account of the French Government takes its place. - Even if the ease rested here, what a retrogression of humanity it would involve—what in abnegation and retreat from the solemn declarations of the Con gresses of Vienna and Verona—what a disregard of Treaties expired or existing with England—above all, what a crime! The French Government, it is now established on British Consular authority, is actually engaged in the African Slave Trade! Seat is the first fact stated by Mr. CAMPBELL. We pre sent it to Lord Pstmeavvost for his consideration, and inquire: Is it, or in it not, a violation, if not of the text or the language, at least of the spirit mid the implied moral obligations of the lest Slave Trade Treaty concluded between England and France? lv the end of all our anti-slave trade diplomacy—the supposed glory of Lord l'Aort - .R. *TON': administration of Foreign Affairs—this, that France, alone of Funpran nations, can legally and safely revive the Slave Trade ? Can it be possible that France has acquired a lawful monopoly of a sort of modern Asiento Contract for negro dealing ? Lagos was only a few years ago the chief seat of the Slave Trade. At the expense of British trea sure, and of British life and blood, we destroyed the traffic there, awl drove away these man-stealers, who have just returned. Immediately • large legi timate commero. sprang up; Lagoa became one of the most important ports on the emit for British trade; and the Governineat, recognising this fact, sent thither Consul CAMPPILL to preside over it. That which we thus planted, and watered, and cul tivated, and wire reaping. this French scheme of African Emigration barn come to destroy, and will destroy. auk.* Lard Psutzairrox can in this quar ter be brought to display usefully the shadow of • shade of that vigour which be so mischievously exercises, without justificative or excuse, whenever he can suggest an opportunity, in Brasil.

La carrie.re outwit aua tba " tools to him who can handle theta"--esch is the rule of civil life in Engl►nd. In the £ray all h. reversed: the poorer among the middle claw, the more enterprising awing the lower class, have no place there. To possess some money is the indispensable requisite for procuring a commission— to possess more money is the indispensable re quisite for procuring promotion. Admitting for the moment the position, which we are not now concerned to deny, that every national army should be an expression of the national institutions, we at the same time declare it to be a foal libel on the institutions of England to say of them that they arc adequately represented by the Purchase System of the British Army. • - " But your institutions are aristocratic." No doubt they are, in a certain sense. We have an he reditary legislature and entailed estates ; we love a lord, and we reverence a millionaire ; but, admitting ail this, we are still a vast distance from any rational argument for the perpetuation of Purchase in the Army. With all our fondness for rank and wealth, we know nothing of promotion by purchase in any other calling except the military. Judgeships are not sold, nor bishoprics; it is • misdemeanour to at tempt the purchase of any, the smallest, clerkship in . . the Civil Service. No midshipman in the navy can buy his lieutenancy, no I ;eutenant a commandership, no commander his ship ; and yet the navy we English have been somewhat apt to consider as a profession that on the whole tolerably well " expressed our " national institutions." But let us look abroad. It may be urged that France, though imperial in form, is democratic in fact, and has naturally, therefore, constituted her Army on somewhat democratic principles. At any rate there is Austria, which is perfectly free from any objection of the kind. Austria, politically a despotism, is socially an aristocracy. If army promotion by purchase were a necessary incident of the military system of an exclusive aristocracy, you would inevitably find it prevailing in the Army of Austria. But in that Army no trace of it is to be found. The British Army alone in Europe—alone in the world—retains the bad distinction of estimating the skill, v►lour, discipline, and conduct of the officer by the same standard which is employed for ascer taining the market price of hie sword or the ex changeable value of his epaulettes.

It is that signs of mutiny have made theamelvee apparent among the European troops. " We hoar that the commending officer of one of her Majes ty's regiments hes cionununicsted to the Governor•Gemmil the fact that bid men are not to be depended on unless their demands are submitted to, and that the rest of the European troops have sworn to uphold them if tho government should venture to resort to force. Wo do not vouch fur the state ment, we only my that it has reached us from a source on which we think we mut rely ; and there can be no indiscre tion in thud publicly bringing the matter to the notice of the euthoraics, Immure it has already been alluded to in terms minciestly intelligible by meet the koding morninglounrals Isere. We hope that, with • man like Sir Colin Campbell at the head of the army, them sparks of mutiny, if they exist, will be speedily pot out. Still the intelligence that such a spirit has been exhibited at this early period is not very re• sewing, more particularly when we remember what a simi lar spirit led to nit Cabal when the outbreak occurred." The Economist observes that the policy of the Adak of England during the last three years of governing the rate of interest by the foreign exchanges, and the pres sure which exchange trendertione, rather than domestic transactions, hea brought upon it, te at once a sound and, sio farm the home trade is concerned, • truly conservative policy. "It is of infinitely lam importance to the home trade that a high rate of intermit should be paid fur a time, than that our resources should be drained so mach to feed epeculetion in foreign countries, that the ordinary went. of our merchant. and manufacturers must be curtailed to en inconvenient and ruinous extent. The lose *ea dioned by the depreciation of property under much circumstances would be much greeter the from any difference in the rate of discount, even when at the highest. We have seen the time when healers have nominally fixed the rata of discount at five per cwt., but when their sources of supply were measly dried up by foreign drains. At the present moment it would be but little satisletion to the hone trade to awe the rate of diroorit kept down et 5 or 6 per cent., when the effect would be to drain . . . . . . . coariutt of Intllion inoeder to feed a demand &beret, to be won followed by a Nate of Dutch sore severe restriction at home. A bigh rate of ruined, Iles a high peke of 4:commo dities, is the only true correction of scarcity. AN in the case of commodities, it acts ae a security fur the future In three ways —first, r we have shone, it presents the ex portation of bullion - -neat, it encourages its imp:videos,— " " " sad, lastly, it tends to economHse the om of capiiel by modi fying transactions already undertaken, and fur the time in ducing to past caution in entering into new ones. In every way in edermately high rate of interest is the beet, nay the only real comersator of the home trade at a time NE the resent when, fo almost every great commercial country, enterprise and speculation have outrun the legitimate mesas of conducting them." The Learkr says :—" There is a corps of volunteir cavalry in one of the diviaime of Kent. Eighty men sae required, each finding his own hover, but being supplied by the government with arms uniform., and equipments. The temp has been organised several month., and numbers scarcely forty. Infantry volunteer., of course, are mon wily procurable; but even an artillmy militia might be Mead on a much lamer scale than at present, if the mangers knew how to set about their work. In 18.52 certain farm labourers and mechanics of Suffolk , worked out a plan by which: they proved how much might bs effscted in this way if adequate facilitiee were &Bolded. Five hundred of them masted, being originally destined for the light infantry branch of the militia. Ultimately, it was determined to make artillerymen of then. They assembled for a month's exereiee Ina camp on the seamy of the Orwell, and after dime weeks' training want through the envies admirably, parrot med manual and platoon excrete. and the ordinary evolutions, were capable of manning the battery guns on Lang.rard Fort, could keep their tents and themselves it mediae.. end order, could (im pish two detacl'eenta for Weld awns could cook well, and submit under mime, hardily and oboe, fully, to rainy and windy weather. It would be an excellent thing wen all the maritime countiee provided with similar organiesUogia; but we do not hear that the experiment boa been repeated in more than two or three localities." Notwithstanding," say. the Jobs Boll," expen sive attempts to render it efficient towards the security of the public, general opinion hem pronounced the pollee force in that respect a failure. Something is evidently wren either la the character and constitution of Oa balky, se la the mos at its deposal for the certain end speedy ieleetiwa If act pr nation, of crime. We seemed to have armed them with every weapon of abusing authority and trenching on the rights of individuals, whilst an increasing conviction of the insecurity of life and property atteeta our opinion of their usefulness to be at the very lowest point. A policeman enters a home of ill-fame in the neighbourhood of Ratcliffe-highway and ltotherhithee, wakes up the inmates, and threshing to break down doors if his ingress be impeded, all the while that he has no ground of suspicion, but merely that he may exhibit the haunts of vice and profligacy to peregrinating philenthropiati, or expes ;mentalism upon infamy, at four o'clock in the mot ring.

This morning wee Mined the 25th report Elt the Commissioners of her Majesty's Woods, Forests, sai Lad Revenues, together with the accounts, *cholla,. ea It appears that in the year ended March 31, 18,57, there ham been granted 38 lessee of land or of houses belonging to the crown in different counties in England, and not Ming within the boundaries of any of the royal forests. The property demised my be divided into three classes, viz. i-1. Farts or lands for agrieultaral purposes; 2nd. Houses • 3rd. Land fur building imposes The total numbe r of leases of the lit class amounts to 17. The toted acreage of the lands comprised in these leases, in the teenage of Ears, Kent, Lineolo, Southampton, and Soeses, amounts to about 4,841 a. 3r. 24p. ; and the rents reserved by them amount, in the whole, to 5,9391.75. 5d., subject, in several cages, to a future increase, in consideration of buildings to be tweeted, or of improvements in drainage to be made, at the cost of the crown. Of the 2nd Class, 10 keees have been granted of 13 houses in London, one of three houses at Hampton Court, and one of Cosa Castle, in the Isle of Wight, at rents amounting in the whole to 1,9711. 10s., and upon payment in four ems of tined amount ing altogether to 1,729!. Of the 3rd clan, one lease has been granted of the site for three houses at Windsor, and two of the sites for two email tenements which had been erected en land inclosed from the waste of the manor of Portland; one lease Ms been granted to the Secretary of State for the War Department of the site of the old Stationery-Aloe, In Jams-stnet, Pimlico, and of a parted of ground adjoining the Wellington Barracks, for the erection of additional barrack acemmodgion ; and • lease has also been granted to the trustees of the Junior United Service Club, of the site of the house in the occupation of that club, the rebuilding of which has been eseented at the expense of the club, on the sites of the former clubhouse and of several homes in St Alban's place. The leases of these several hoaxes were surrendered to the crown before the execution el the new lease to the trustees. Two leases bare 61113 been granted of the sites of two new bonne in Postern-row, Tower-hill ; and in all these cares suitable buildings ;have been erected at the ex pense of the several lessees before the grant of their respec tive leases.

Roma, the former the Incumbent of Whitechapsl, and the latter of St. Peter's Church, Stepney, attended yesterday before the Lord Mayor at the Mansion-hour acanspanied by a large number of coalwhippers. Mr. Champaus rid that loos friend (Mr. Bowmen) and himself had taken great interest in the weUare of the class of men, some of whom stood wound him. A large number of clu b l a ztppers were at present out of work, having been &s -hore the coelowners dike on what be believed to be ea entire misconception on the part of the coalowners. His Mend and himself had attended the court for the purpose et joining in the anvil of the men that his lordship would kindly act as &Mirror in the settlement of the differences that at present existed between the orlowners and the coal whippers. Mr. Rowell said that the eoalwhippers, who were a hard working laborious class of UM, had for some years been perfectly contented with their treatment, and that nineteen out of twenty of them would have assented gladly to things continuing as they had been going on. Th ere w then under the protection of an act, which Mr. Gladstone brought I n t o the House of Commons, and which passed the legis• later, by which an office was appointed by the government where gangs of men were always employed, and properly employed, they earning a subeirence, lent never more then 12a. or 14s. per week at the best times, still perfectly satr led. There was another system antagonistic to that by which the public-hours were in fact the middle man, so that the coalwhippers received their wages at the public house ; in other words, when their wages were paid them so much was deducted for drink during the week, and there were so many obvious temptations to the poor men to drink that only a very small proportion of their earn ing' was carried home to their wives and children. The government saw the evil of the system, and Mr. Glad stone stated before a committee of the House of Lords that fur a long time he wee reluctant to believe that ouch a state of thing* existed, and very unwilling to interfere in the sltghteet degree between labour and employment. But the case was so pressing and the immorality that emoted so very serious to society, that a temporary bill was pared with a view of remedying the evils complained of. When the bill was brought up for re-enactment, Mr. Gladstone petered its passing at the earnest desire of the coalwhippers. Mr. Lowe, on the part of the coalownera, stated that if the bill wow allowed to drop, they would in Frith act up to the law es It estate('; but it was a precedent—interference between employment and labour—which they did not with to exist. They teetered Mr. Lowe, who reared Mr. Glicbtone and others, that if they would allow the bill to drop the coal whippers should not be compelled to go to the public-houses to receive their wages. A fortnigbt ago a poor cuelw4ii& per had three days' employment. His week • wages . have probably amounted to Ile. but 7s. 4d. had been de ducted from what was due to him 'by a publiesn at Wapping, for drink. The men were now thrown out of the office, ult at present evicted in the hands of the coelownera, because they required Bd. or 9d. per ton for whipping, 6d. having been offered them, and afterwards 7d. Now, at Gd. per ten, a men might earn 81. or es. per weak at the next and pro bably not eo much. Cates of greater dinner, of utter misery and destitution, be bed scarcely ever witnessed, although he had laboured amongst the poor for many years. The rev. gentleman narrated come heartrending eases of distress be had witnessed at some of the habitations of the coelwhippers which he had 'Anted. without] previous warning to their occupants and proceeded to ear—There poor fellows wanted the same rate of remuneration as the other men. By dint of greet perseverance, and in spite of much !intention, the coalwhippers, although they did not succeed in the House of Commune, obtained a committee in the House of Lords. This was the real grievance. If they had let the coalownere do es they liked, and allowed the old system of public-house agency to come into fail play again, they might have Olken their chance of employment. He hoped that when the Howe of Commons met the old law would be re-enacted. Mr. Gladstone had stated that if he had had the least idea that the spirit of the present coalowners would hare beim brought to play upon these poor men he would have stood to the last in the Hour of Commons before he consented to the dropping of the old bill.

The next thing was, that while he deprecated party polities Le could not help saying it was a matter of great satisfaction to think that the faults which had been committed in India resembled the faults of the whole country, and, he believed, diet bad we been them ourselves , we should have done the same. lie was excessively disgusted with the hue and cry that some pepera are raising about the vengeance that should be inflicted.

He steles that on attending at the castle on the morning of the funeral, at the express invitation of Sir Maurice Berkeley, the latter in the preemies of the other brother• charged hire with falsehood, concluding by asking Mr. Thomas Moreton Berkeley (who throughout the letter Is celled the Earl of Berkeley) "if ft was true that he had been ' cajoled and cheated' in regard to the matter of the peerage?"

The Bourse opened with firmness, and, after a slight reaction, prices recovered to the opening quo tations, which were 66fr. 80c. for cash, and 66fr. tak. for account, being a rise of 6c. and 20c. The amusing reason given for the rise by the bulletin of the Preue is that the Duke of Cambridge's speech led to the expectation that the next packet from India would announce the taking of Delhi. The French do not appear to understand that the Duke of Cambridge knows nothing more about the matter than any other newspaper reader, and that his opinion that the turning point of the disaster has been passed, although we all hope it to be well founded, is only based upon the intelligence opened to all the world. Mobilier rose 15 fr. The railways were nearly all higher, rising from 2fr. 50e. to Ofr. A Lyons journal, in announcing the arrival in that city of General d'Orgoni on his way to ltome, states that the object of his mission there is to an nounce to the Pope, in the name of the Burmese Emperor, that the catholic missions will not only be tolerated, but even encouraged and aided throughout the dominions of the Birman empire. General d'Orgoni's adopted sovereign has, it appears, not only built public schools, but has allotted funds for the endowment of European professors. He also proposes to found a catholic hospital, to be managed by sisters of charity, and has promised to build churches wherever a congregation may be found desirous to have them. With each a programme General d'Orgoni may well ask any favour of the Pope, and preface his demands with the words Ego et Res mess. M. Emile de Wrardin, who it appears is satiated with foreign travel, and has come to Paris for the winter season, is reported to have brought with him a new comedy, the fruit of his leisure hours, which will shortly be produced ender the title of La Fills dun Millionnaire. A friend of M. de Girardin's suggests, somewhat ironically, that it is to be hoped for the sake of the new piece that it may be imbued with the spirit of his first wife, née Madlle. Dolphins Gay. There is in truth nothing dramatic or poetical in the known productions of M. E. de Girsrdin. He is a hard writer of the Benthamite school, and was wont in the Prone to ride logic to death. Nojournal ist was a match for him in a controversy, because he kept an index of all the leading articles that had been written for years past, and seldom failed to convict his adversary of inconsistency. His ambition was to appear before the public as a man always right, and he succeeded to a great extent with wonderful talent. His articles however, especially latterly, were wearisome, because he seemed to dis miss for the sake of discussion, expending just as much labour upon a question in which the public took no interest as upon the most burning topic of the day. It will be a great miracle if the charms of a young wife, the sunny climate of Italy, and some months' leisure, enjoyed for the first time during a laborious life, .hall have converted this can tankerous journalist, of fifty years and upwards, into • suooessful dramatist.

His Royal Highnwa the Crown Prince and Viceroy en tered the boll, accompanied by a numerous procession of celesiaatice end civil and military officers, and took his seat Cut to the throne. His royal highness then read the following speech : " Good Sirs, and Norwegian Men,—l bring you the hearty greetings of his Majesty, soy much-beloved father. The assumes of the sincere sympathy of the faithful Norwegian people is a greet consolation to him in his illness, which we have all so much reason to deplore. May en al -wise Provi dence grant our prayers, and restore him to health. Being obliged by circumstances to renounce the honourable pool ties in which the King's favour bad placed tee in Norway, and in which I have felt so happy, I gladly avail myself of this occasion which brings me once more among you, to express my gratitude for the many proofs of your affection and confidence which I have received, and among which the recent resolution of the Storthiog, authorishig me to assume the government during the illness of his Mainly, gives evidence of a confiding trust in my good will and my upright intentions, of which I shall always endeavour to prove myself worthy. You have re cently been made acquainted with the solemn promise that I have made in the Council of State ; this promise I will never break. The Storthing has responded with alacrity to his Majesty's gracious proposals regarding the increased means required for the further development of the industry and well-being of the country. The satisfactory redemption of the Sound dims, carried out with the co-operation of the Storthing, has afforded his Majesty much gratification. His Majesty Is also pleased to have been able to append his signature to the several law reforms required by and conducive to the public well-being, sad by which the present Storthing has considerably furthered the Interests ci the realm, in various directions. His klejesty deplores, however, that the Storthing ham not deemed it expedient to adopt the mince royal propositions tending to facilitate commercial intewourre between Norway and Sweden, to relieve the shipping interests of both countries, and to a satisfactory regulation of certain judicial relations between the inhabitants of the two countries, all of which measures are founded in the nature of the union, and in the Intonate of both nations. Itheever, the manner in which the first matters alluded to were settled in the Storthing gives his Majesty reason to hope that the time is not far distant when clearer conceptions will prevail regarding the important relations between the united kingdoms arising out of the union, and when, in conesquence, all causes of mutual distrust will be removed. Wishing you, in Use nails dray august father, and from the bottom of my heart, all the beet blessings of Heaven, I hereby, in accordance with the t.Oth paragraph of the Constitutional DM, declare the 16th ordi nary Storthing of the kingdom of Norway to be diesolved."
