Sl. 30 , .. -1111Imola. ilk. 13m. Timairakew —Mr kis& L. 391 a AMMON 71 . 206 LONDON, WEDIVESDAY, MAY 21. The reason alleged last night by Sir GEORGE GREY for opposing the motion of Sir WILLIAM MOLESRoUTII was, that if the house agreed to ad dress the crown to put a stop to the transportation of convicts to Van Diemen a Land, they must be prepared to encounter the general and wider ques tion of what we are to do with our criminals, and what is to be the other punishment we mean to sub stitute for transportation'.?" 1/id Sir GEoneis mean to maintain that the house ought to, or can for any kngth of time evade the consideration uf one or both of these questions? If the system of convict transportation which pre vailed before 18:35 had never been tampered with or altered—if a definitive system that had been found to work well had since been adopted in lieu of h— alm the house might with regard to this question act upon the Walpoliau maxim, pieta non niurere. But the arrangements under which convicts are now gent to the colonies cannot by any latitude of speech be designated ins pieta. The 01a system has been broken in upon : 'New South Wales has been enuxuei puted from the necessity of receiving convicts at all ; Icortblk Island has bevel abandoned, and its trebly concentrated ruffianism and depravity removed to Van Diemen's Land; and the system of convict management in Van Dienwa's Land has been changed over and over again, the present being like all its predecessors, avowedly an experimental and inferior one. The unsettled and precarious nature of the existing arrangements is in itself a sufficient reason why the house should grapple with the "gen caul Null wider question," and that without delay. The extreme suffering occasioned in Van Diemen s land by the interim system, the alarm excited in the neighbouring coloaits by the spectacle which that ! , t ttlement presents to them, the measures on foot throughout Aastraia to turn aside the stream of cone ict immitpration from that country, the irri tation and disaffection which the contest is calculated' to excite. --snare reasons for entertaining the question without delay. And it is one which dues not admit of being viewed in a one-sided manner, with refer enee to the colonies which are recipients of the con- Idea alone; its bearing upon the mother country that relie.ed of them must also be attended to. The day cannot be much louger staved elf when the house will be compelled to deliberate—anxiously and with a view to immediate action —upon the questions : Can or ought we to persist in sending convicts to the Australian colonies? In what manner and un der what arrangements ought they to be sent thither if at all If they are no longer to be sent thither, how are they to be disposed of? Are they to I:. n tallied in this country, or are new penal colo nies. tip be founded els..where ? 'l'ho house cannot get rid of these discussions by refusing to listen to the petitions from Vun Diemen 's Lund. They may grant the prayer of these petitions without acceler ating by one hour the unwelcome day of debate and kgislation on this head. This being the case, the question as to the con tinuance of convict transportation to Van Diemen's Land, may and ou'.ht to be determined with refer ence to the special circumstances of that colony ex clusively. The debate last night was untimely broken off by the instrumentality of sonic one or other of those officioua gentlemen who arc always ready to catch at a temporary thinness of the house, to relieve government from the pressure of 1 disagreeable discussions. Whether this WWI done with the foreknowledge and assont of government,' or was the volunteer impertinence of some one who Minified it might be deemed acceptable service after it was done, is a matter of no moment. The course pursued by ministers last night is so strongly indica tive of misgivings and hesitation on their part as to invite to an immediate renewal of the charge. Though Mr. lianas was present, and though the subject hills within his department, the Home Secre tary took the word out of his mouth. And Sir (t mess; Gum . pleaded the cause of government, stated its views and intentions, in a temper and to a purport materially differing from what we have been recustomed to hear from Mr. lISWEs, or from what we heard, no further gone than last week, from his principal, Earl CRISS - . Sir GEORGE GREY substantially ad mitted every essential point of the colonists' awe as stated by them. lle talked, indeed, of exaggera tions in their representations, but he did not specify in what these exaggerations consist: and he ad mitted the intolerable inconeeniences to which the colonists have been subjected and their right to com plain. Ilia admissions went much further than this. The colonists complain that government has broken faith with them ; that a promise was given them that transportation to their island should cease, which has not been kept. Earl GREY and Mr. 11 woes sturdily deny (in the face of their own dispatches, and in the face of the interpretation put upon these dispatches by their own governor at the time he received them), that any such promise was given. lint what said Sir GEORGE GREY last night ? '• lum bound to admit that the views ex-' pressed in the letter referred to, and in Lord GREY'S dispatch to Sir WILLIAM DENISON, are nut in strict aen,rdance with the mum subsequently pursned Ly the norernment." All the explanations and soften ing by which Sir Gisonce, in the latter part of hie speech, endeavoured to break the force of this admis sion, are unavailing. Dainty and guarded though his language be, when translated into plain, straight forward English it amounts to this, that faith has not been kept with the colonists ; and it admits of nu other interpretation. The substitution of Sir Gs:mica for Mr. II twis in lust night's debate is therefore pregnant with mean ing. It implies a sense on the Fart of 11l ill Liters that the Secretary for the Colonies and his Under-Secretary have taken ap a position that cannot be maintained, and a bringing forward of the Home Secretary to cover their retreat. This being the case we might almost assume that j we are entitled to pass unnoticed the repetition of the fallacies of his colleagues with which Sir GEORGE marred the conclusion of his speech. His previous admissions deprive them of all weight. The papers lately presented to the house place in their true light the allegations that the colonists are becoming reconciled to the system of transporta tion. The individuals who, to please the governor, protested against part of the proceedings of an anti cony ict meeting, arc only 390 in number, and their opponents amount to many thousands. Nay, more, them: protesters expressly refrain from expressing any opinion u to the expeilieney or inexpe di ency of continuing convict transportation to Van Diemen 's Land. The sooner government and the legisLiture make up their minds, not only to relieve an Diemen 's Land from the inundation of convicts which threatens to swamp the respectable portion of society in that island, but to revile our whole system of convict transportation, the better. The intelligence which we publish in another part of this day's paper, from the southern eolotnes, shows that there is no time to lose. The meeting of delegates at Port Phillip from the vari ous Australian anti-convict associations, resolved to raise by public subscription the sum of 90,000/. to wary out their objects. This is the hand-writing on the wall. Tilt inquiry into the late Harwich election has terminated in unseating, for want of qualification, Ir. Tuour l'aiNbt.t.; but without, on a scrutiny, seating Mr. ROBtirt CRAIRTORD. So, the House of Ceausous permitting, there will be a new election for that borough, which, to use Zineuln's unsavoury expression, bath " an ancient and fish like" reputa tion fur immoral practices on such occasions and opportunities. As, however, Harwich has just bad a very lucky escape, in consequence of the mortgage on Mr. THOBY PRINSkeS house in Tybumisehe insuffi ciency of his Indian income to form a qualification, Harwich will, it is to be supposed, be now on its good behaviour ; and it will be curious and useful to note what constitutes good behaviour at elections at Harwich. Though no one of constitutional or sorrect feelings can sympathise with the spectacle of a gentleman who, after having been largely concerned in the de tails of Indian administration, and being selected, because of his presumed knowledge of our eastern empire, to share in the duties, responsibilities, emolu ments, and patronage of its government, in his' desperate efforts to get into parliament, places him self at the disposal, and submits to the degradation of becoming the nominee, at Harwich, of Mr. JOHN Arrwoou, a person notorious for his unclean con nexion with corruptible constituencies—though, we say, no one, even of the Conservative Club, can sympa thise with Mr. Thous PRINSEP, the East India Di rector, in his defeat in such a connexion, we are free to confess, that the law which did unseat him is both senseless and absurd; and that quite irrespective- of the geneml question of additional qualification for scats in the House of Commons other than the free choice of constituencies. For, it is quite clear, that, though not perhaps in the United Kingdom, Mr. Thous l'alxstx, the East India director, has :Off. a year ; the required income. But the corpus of the fund--the Bengal Civil Service Fund—out of which it accrues is in India; whereas the statute requires that it should be in the United Kingdom ; hence legally he is without, though pecuniarily he has, the necessary qualification. Such anomalies as this will generally be found to accompiiny laws bad in essence; th,ir practical operation iv always more restrictive than their original intention ; and though Mr. AOMONBY and Mr. ADDERLEV may suc ceed, as we trust they will, in repealing the restrictive words in this case, that improvement of the existing law ought nut to form any argument for the repe a l of all qualifications next session, when Lord Jonx Itt:ssEtt. comes to deal with the great question of the franchise and its exercise. This blemish on law making. and outrage on com mon sense, stood between Harwich and an exposure of its venality—between Mr. JOHN .krrwoon and an insight into his relations with Mr. 'NOISY PRINSEP —it intercepted and averted a better knowledge of Harwich and its elections, than even that for merly given in the Daily Netts, in the series of papen entitled "Our Representative System; and • for this result we owe that legal absurdity au especial grudge. For, now that the subject of the franchise and of representation has assumed greater import ance than ever, we want to know a little more of Mr. Jon,: ArrwooD and of the way he manages at Harwich, at Lyme Regis, at Kintaie, and at Ath lone (becoming now more famous because of Mr. KEOGH, than even for " the widow Mahme"). and at every other manageable little depot of electoral dirt and corruption on which, ogre-like, he sets his "evil eye." Instead of all this, we had a scrutiny into votes. Now, far be it from us to blame the petitioners for indulging the lawyers in a scrutiny. Rut of all bad things in that line, a scrutiny seems to us the very wont; it is the last parliamentary relic of a detes table system; amnia scandal it is to parliam , nt that it should be left to plague election committees. What can anyone want with a scrutiny in parliament after a registration and a revision of votes and a right of appeal from the decision of the revising barrister to a (-nut of law? To be sure the scrutiny, so far as it went, at one time placed Mr. Citawroan in a majo rity of one; hat only next day to raise Mr. PRINSEP to an equality with him; and thus it goes on week after week reducing and decreasing the number of voters, when the object mid desire of every • rational titan is to increase the number. The proper place to scrutinise votes, if they nre to ' be scrutinised, is the revising barrister's court; there they are examined into coolly, deliberately, and without excitement, and at a trifling cost. But a parliamentary scrutiny leads to excitement, passion,: false s-ivearing, irritation, and expense; for width nothing can recompense the borough affected. And every promoter of suffrage reform was right glad to see the Harwich scrutiny terminated. Nut that Mr. RoBERT CRAWFoRD'S success was a matter of political indifference to the liberal party. On the contrary, he is from his information, his pur suits, his position, and his opinions, one of the most eligible candidates any constituency can return to parliament ; and his presence in the House of Com mons would never he more useful than during a ses sion when the government of the East India Com pany has to be subjected to investigations; for that is a question in which Mr. CeawFoan, from long and independent knowledge of India, is eminently qualified to take part; whereas in the return of Mr. TitonY l'ufxsEe, the East India Company would only add another to the professional representatives it ailready has there. And when the career of Mr. PRINsEr at Harwich is considered, it is not calculated to give a very high impression of the state of morals in Leadtnhall street ; for to that place Mr. PRINsEP Went as the nominee of Mr. JOHN ATTWOOD. Ile was there sure rounded and assisted by that person's agents, lawyers, followers, and retainers. A poor man was packed off to Chelmsford gaol to prevent his voting for Mr. CRAWFORD ; wine and beer and brandy flowed at public houses; corruption and profligate expenditure were the agency wherewith to gain Mr. l'utxsitp votes; and in order to gratify his parliamentary vanity and Mr. JOHN Arrwoori's unaccountable, if sane, love of political power, hundreds of responsible beings were demoralised. Contrast this, the East India director's conduct with Mr. ROBERT CRAWFORD, a City merchant's bearing and acts at Ilarwich. He sought the elec. tors' suffrages for his political opinions only ; he re fused to secure his returu by unlawful expenditure, and returned from these shameless scenes at a cost of some only. If, then, the constituency of Harwich wish to re trieve the reputation of their borough, to save it per , hnps from the fate impending over St. Albino., and , to restore its ancient prosperity by restoring to them selves a sense of independence, they will take the opport 'ty that is now offered them of purging the town of NG. Jots Arrwoou and his pestiferous influenec by the return of Mr. ROBERT CRAWFORD, who will reprs sent them on honourable terms only. ITALY. The BuMyna Unzetk announces that a party of banditti wire surprised by gendarmes at a farm near Forli, and six killed on the spot. PIEDMONT. In its sitting of the lath, the Chamber of Deputies of Turin passed the ministerial bill for imposing a tax upon mortmnin property and corporate bodies, by 97 votes to 27.

THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 21, 1851. 9,667,120 fr. The corresponding amounts for the rune month in the two preceding years are re vecti‘cly, in 1850, 8,990,320 fr., in 1819, 10,481,644 fr. The difference in favour of the latter year is caused by the augmentation on colonial sugar, the duty on which amounted to 2,639,506 fr., whereas in this year it reached only 1,526,621 fr. The import duties for the first four months of 1851 amount to 36,426,215 fr., for 1850, to 36,845,319 fr., an d for 1849, to 39,093,967 fr. The favourable reaction in the funds continued to day.

DENNIARIE AND THE DUCHIES. ..... _ _ Letters from Hamburg of the 18th inst. state the Assembly of Notables held their first meeting on the 17th. Count Dille Braise addressed the Assembly, and alluded to the conciliatory feelings of the Danish government as evi denced in the amnesty. A draft ofe, joint constitution for the duchies in union with the Danish monarchy was then placed before the Assembly. Another weeding was to be held on the following Monday. FRANCE. PARIS, TVZSDAY EVENING. The central committee of the Electoral Union held yesterday a meeting to deliberate on the part which the union ought to take in the petitionment for revision. It was shown from the reports of the district committees that the latter had unanimously admitted the indispensable neces sity of revision, and expressed by a large majority ' the wish to see the Electoral Union present a petition to the Assembly. In compliance with this wish the central committee decided, by a majority of 170 votes against 2 or 3, that the Electoral Union should circu late for signature a petition for the revision of the constitution. The committee to-day decided, by a large majority, against adopting the same form of petition dr. culated by the Bonapartist committee of the Rue Neuve St. Augustin. Thus, the body which showed the greatest zeal for the candi dature of Louis Napoleon, after it had been adopted I by the nation, has separated itself definitively from '1 the Bonapartist movement. The legitimists are de termined, as you see, on opening a campaign for the restoration of the traditional monarchy, under the banner of total revision of the constitution. This, at the first blush, looks rash, but the key of the legiti mist position is faction. If they fail in their coup-dc main for placing Henri V. on the throne, they will keep open a retreat through fusion. and fall back upon the candidature of General Changsumier, who, as I informed you some time back, published his ad hesion to the fusionist party by attending the famous dinner at Madame l'ozzo di Borges. You must therefore look upon fusion as a blanket, held out by Moh, Guizot, and compeers to catch the legi timists if they fall short of their intended leap over the constitution. It stands to reason, on this account,', that so long as the reconciliation of the two Bourbon branches, which constitutes the real fusion, remains unaccumplished, the candidature of General Chan gamier can never be accepted by the Orleanist rarty. Hence there is a tendency at present in the Mt:twists of the regency and the party of the Journal die D tat, to unite, the former abandoning 1 that disposition which they showed recently to fa- your the doctrine of fusion, while the legitimists ob served merely a negative and obstructive policy.' hence the concert which is visible at present in the tone and plans of organs, as the Ordre, Dames, and Me, vagec,witich were recently at daggers drawn, all of which now support the law of May and the legal re vision of the constitution. The Bonapartist policy is to produce, by agitation throughout the country, such a stress upon the Assembly as will force it to embrace revision and to make way for a constituent, in despite of tho legal majority of three-fourths not being attained. Iknec those parties which are most bit terly.opposed to the President, such as the ultra legitimists, wished to vote against the revision in order that they might not furnish an excuse, by swelling the relative majority, for breaking up the ground of legality, and opening the door to a coup tat. Now, the answer of M. Thiers and of the whole Orleanist party to this argument is the more worthy of remark as it shows how little reliance can be placed by Louis Napoleon upon the support of that party which constitutes his ahole parlia mentary strength, the 300 of the Rue des Pyramidcs M. Thiers says: " Let us vote for revision, and get as large a majority as we can in favour of ;1 but let us adhere strictly to the letter of the law, for' that will give us an equally strong vantage-ground, for dealing with all parties ; we can then show 1 the socialists how ardently the friends of order desire the revision, vet, how steadfastly we refuse it from respect for legality; there fore we shall have the strongest of all titles for obliging them to observe the law of May; whereas, if there be only a small majority in favour of revi sion, there will be no merit of self-denial visible on our part in observing the legal course." The same argument will be equally applicable in opposing coups-tr'ene, from whatever other side they tame, either from the Bonapartists or legitimists. A division exists in the different fractions of the legitimists as to the promotion of revision by the petitions. 'thus the tidos asserts that now trio dprincipal portion of the Assembly show themselves isposed to entertain the question of revision ' all petitioning is needless, and can only reveal the in tention of exercising an external pressure on the deliberation. On the other hand, the Opiaion Pledire culls on all legitimists throughout France to organise an immense petitionary movement, not only in tavour of total revision, but of restoration of the traditional monarchy. Every sitting of the Assembly now opens with the presentation of a mass of petitions fur revision. This preliminary form having been gone through, to-day the Assembly proceeded to discuss the interpellations of M. Esquires on the treatment of the prisoners at Belle Isle. A series of unnecessary hardships and privations had been imposed upon men who were not common criminals, but stood essentially in need of intellectual occupation, from which they were de barred, books and writing materials having been refused thou, and latterly even the tables which served sonic of the prisoners for writing upon having been taken away, on the plea that the planks belong to the administration. In consequence of their remonstrances against this monstrous oppres sion, 30 of the prisoners, among whom was Barks, had been consigned to dungeons, put upon bread and water, and obliged to sleep upon old straw, which had been long lying in the casemates . Having enumerated the privations as to diet, and other cruel severities, to which the prisoners were subjected, M. Esquires moved the appointment of a commission of three members (he had no objection to them all being selected from the majority) in order to proceed to an inquiry upon the spot. M. Leon Faucher maintained that the harsh treat ment to which the prisoners had been subjected had been called down by their violent, menacing, aid in subordinate behaviour. M. Benjamin ltaspail traced the rigours complained of to the personal character of the director of the prison at Ilcllcisle, who had excited the same com plaints at Ilaguenau and Vannes, where he had held the same functions. Amid loud cries of „ Question," M. ltaspail proceeded to show how at Vannes this di rector had caused a woman to be tortured. The president, having taken the sense of the Assembly, prohibited M. ltaspail from speaking further. M. , Leon Faucher replied from his place, that the I di rector's character had been cleared by a commis ' sioner of the provisional government. M. Schmleher complained of the restrictions im posed upon prisoners in their communications with their friends and families. The prisoners were not allowed to be visited by their wives. The Assembly, on being consulted, passed, by a majority of 428 against 218, to the pure and simple order of the dar. The postal treaty with Sardinia was then adopted. The sitting broke up without any further occur rence of interest. The Assembly appointed to-day a comnittee on M. Faucher's bill for extending the powers of the police at Lyons. The committee appointed is favour able to the measure. The committee on the La Plata treaties examined yesterday Captain de Montravel. The circumstan tial information furnished by this eyc-witness pro duced a strong impression upon the committee, which resolved to confer with the ministers of foreign affairs and marine before coming to a deci sion. The great majority of the committee are in favour of the ratification of the treaties. M. Fould, the Minister of Finance, set out last night for Tarbes, to attend the sitting of the council general of the Ilautes Pyrenees. An important commercial reform was under taken by the municipal council of Paris at its last sitting. It is proposed to establish in the new build ing which had been purchased for the Chamber of Commerce for about 20,000!,, the Hotel des Commis sakes Prisettrs at the corner of the Rue Notre Dames des Victoires, a museum for receiving and exhibiting collections of every kind of foreign produce. The Chamber also wishes to establish a public exhibition of silks, similar to that which now exists at Lyons, as well as of wool and other woven articles. Arrange ments will also be made, in order that the merchants of Paris may be able to receive every information as to the value of merchandise in the principal towns lof France, and a roan will be specially appropriated, I where they can acquire every information as to the latest maritime and commercial news received by electric telegraph. Mr. More O'Farrell, governor of Malta, arrived at Marseilles on the 16th, by the Merlin. The Munikur contains the following statement with regard to the amount of duties on imports :- 1 " The total of import duties for April, 1851, is BELGIUM. On the 19th, M. Dumon-Dumontier having de. clincd to undertake the formation of a ministry, MM. Lebeau and Charles de Brouckere were successively called to the Palace, with what result was not known. SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 15th, announce the defeat by a progressist of M. Bravo Murillo, presi dent of the council, in the election at Barcelona, and of Count San Luis, ex-Minister of the Interior, in the district of Cuenca. A letter from Madrid, of the 13th, says : " There are numerous reports in circulation on the subject of a modification in the ministry. It is said that MM. Artela and Gonzales Itoniero will be replaced. Many people, however, who profess to he well informed on the subject, say that no change will t a k e pl ace until after the opening of the session of the Cortes. MM. Scijas, Mayans, ilenavides, and Gonzalo Moron are spoken of as the persons who would come into the cabinet in the event of any change being made. M. Scijas would represent the moderate imposition ; M. Mayans the independent friction of the (lumber; and M. Moron or M. Benavides the old conservative opposition." PORTUGAL. The Ocean of Brod, of the lfith (says our Paris correspondent), contains news from Portugal, brought by the Cuf iuclli steamer, Liter by two days than those received front England and Spain. According to this paper Saldanha was still at Oporto, and was daily less able to control the revolutionary movement, which would be satisfied with nothing less than the abdication of the Queen. In the meantime the absence of a settled authority was a source of universal alarm. Saldanha had not yet succeeded in forming a ministry. 'fine foreign representatives had. as yet, abstained from all de monstration: but the fear of anarchy promoted a tendency to reaction. AMERICA. The arrivals from America follow each other in quick suecssion. Ytsterdny, at $ a.m., the American mail steamer, Pacific, Captain Nye (Collins' line, as it is often called). passed Holyhead, after accomplish ing the shortest voyage yet made from New York to this port. She entered the river soon after I o'clock. The Pacific left New York on the 10th inst. at noon, and has brought the large number of 230 passengers and 375,000 dollars, or over 1 . 3,000/. sterling, in specie. There is three days later news by this arrival than that ree.ived by the Asia on Sunday, which vessel the Pacific has beaten by about nine hours on the homeward voyage. The news, however, is not im portant._ . The Europa arrived out at New York on the morning of the Bth, and was followed by the Her mann from Southampton on the 9th instant. It is confidently stated that the Cuban expedition is again abandon&l, and a large number of men who had collected at Jacksonville, in Floidda, had dis persed, and were returning to their homes. Gon zales, who it will be remembered, was one of the leaders in the first expedition, was reported by telegraph to have been arrested in Florida, which may in ixtrt account for the expedition being given up without even embarking. The trial of Mr. Forrest for a violent assault upon Mr. N. P. Willis commenced in the Superior Court of the state of New York, nu the Bth inst., before Chief Justice Oakley, and was proceiding at the date of this departure. The assault was not denied, but was justified by Mr. Forrest's counsel in conse quence ot• Mr. Willis's conduct towards Mr. Forrest's wife, and in the unhappy differences that existed between Mr. Forrest and his lady. It was expected that the jury would return a verdict with small damages. '1 he intelligence of the disposition of South Caro lina to secede from the Union is attracting attention. The accounts of the cotton crop which at this sea son are always very interesting, scent to be unfa vourable. A severe frost had prevailed throughout Georgia in the first week in May, and great damage to the young plants is reported to have ensued to consequence. Sinix. the sailing of the Asia. there had been two more arrivals with gold dust from California, namely, a steamer at New Orleans, with 75,000 dols ; North America, at New York, tgso,oo dots.; total, (;;; - ,,w0 dole. The San Francisco 114.r«hl thinks that the total exports of gold from t'alit4nia for 1851 will not full short of 70,000,000 dells. From the Klamath, Catavern, Tolntone, Nlohelinine, American, Feather, Scott, and Yuba diggings, the advices arc favourable, while the quartz. rock yields mom than the usual abundance. The Klamath black sand is reported to yield from three to eight ounces per pailful. Private letters fully confirm the satisfaction that is felt at the repeal by the Calefornian legislature of the odious tax on foreign miners—an impost that retarded the progress and wealth of the new state seriously. A very important expedition is talked of—namely, a trading excursion to Japan, the object of which ia to throw open the commerce of that rich empire of forty millions of people to the world; and aline of four steamers is projected to China from San Fran cisco. Two or three rich beds of coal have been found in California; one within eight miles of Be nicia. Printing materials were described as being such a drug in the market that they were to be had at lower prices than in Philadelphia. Our correspondent writes as follows • NEW YORK, May 10. The Rappers arc likely to come into some disgrace. One of the kox family has betrayed the secret, and it will shortly be communicated to the public. A few days since a young woman in Rhode Island gave her step-brother arsenic, under the dictation of a spirit with which she had communication—if we may believe her. Sint, her arrest it is evident her whole mind is unhinged, and she has not the slightest idea of what right or wrong. A fanatical association, existing in Oneida County, in this e.tate, has published a report of its progress for the last year. It consists of one or two hundred men, mid about sixty women. These are the indiscriminate associates of the men. But two or three children have heen born in the association for the last year. It claims ft large degree of prosperity, from its culti cation of the soil, and its religious code is hosed entirely on the new theory of the communication with the spirits of the other world. It is avowed us a part of their belief that the spirits nave advanced so far towards au intimacy with the human race, that they arc beginning to have power to form intimacies, in consequence of which marriage, ac cording to human and divine law, must now of necessity be ahrogated ! You may imagine to what a pass things arc coming among these new lights. Aud yet what I relate in this letter is not generally known here. I would not have believed what I write you if I had not seen the report in question. We have just heard from Charleston, South Carolina. The convention has adjourned, after almost unanimously resolving that secession was unavoidable. A few moderate men present attempted in vain to control the action of the hotheads. If any overt acts take place, individual arrests are to be made. The abolition journals now threaten the seceders with the strong arm of the government. The friends of peace call on the government to destroy Charleston by tire and sword. They who advocate this course are those who de nounce capital punishment, deny the right of men to take life, refuse to eat meat, and live on bran bread and milk. The abolition convention sitting at Syracuse is equally active in attempting to dissolve the union. Garrison and Thompson are the leading spirits, and their denunciations of our country, its press, its pulpit, and its laws are more bitter than ever. The President of the United States, attended by several of his cabinet, will arrive here in a few days, to join in the celebration of the opening of the New York and Erie Railroad, connecting the waters of the Hudson river with those of Lake Eric. It is the most imeartant structure of its kind in the United States, and it will be the channel of an immense traffic. Preparations are making to receive the President with the highest honours. Jenny Lind's two late concerts in this city have been attended by greater crowds than ever. At an afternoon concert yesterday eight thousand people were present. She has grown a little thinner, but her voice is as powerful and sweet as ever. She has a private residence of her own in this city, and lives very retired. We have heard this morning, from Control America, that the English have evaesiated San Juan, and given up the Mosquito territory to the Nicaraguans. The news does not come in such a shape as to be miquestionable. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW VtfUK, MAT 9.

Br a recent arrival from Hobart Town we learn that an important meeting had taken plata. at Port Philip of the various delegates appointed by the public meetings held at the several Australian colo nies for the purpose of adopting measures to prevent the further introduction of convict labour into those settlements. At the above meeting of delegates it was unanimously resolved that resolutions be drawn up by which the colonists pledge themselves to em ploy no convict labour after the present time, nor to hold any maim tttt ication or have dealings with any who shall employ such labour. It WILY also resolved that a sum of 20.000/. be raised by public subscrip tion to carry out the object of the meeting. Belpre separating the delegates drew up an appeal to the people or England, calling upon them to co-operate with them in their anti-convict agitation. NEW ZEALAND. THE P.muitt ltouvE.

In my last I informed you of the anticipated in stallation of Sir G. Anderson us a K.C.11. This ceremony took place at the Pavilion, Kandy, on the 19th ultimo. The Kandyan chiefs and h eadmen mustered strong. and of the uipollui not less than 4,000 were present. No disturb ancs of any kind took place ; all was harmony and good feeling ; half alloys' extra constables, to keep the throng off, amply sufficed. Mr. A. Oliphant, who represented her most gracious Majesty on the occasion, starts) from the government agent's house at a quarter to two, followed by nearly Nil Europeans. The ceremony of investiture took place at two o'clock, p.m., Sir Anthony Oliphant, in an appropriate speech, complimenting Sir George on the honour conferred on him and the people of Ceylon on hay ing such a governor. The salute was tired ; the Kanilvan chiefs and eople with their elephants and f l ags , passed in procession' efore the governor, and all was over. In the evening lady Anderson received all the rile of the district, and the g dety was kept up to u late hour. Sir George is most ilesAsedly popular; a very studious and hard working man anxious for information, and seeking it ill the right quar ters. The proposed change in the Unhand 37th regiments ' has taken play, and we have the latter regiment in Kandy to the gre a joe of the inhabitants. The 11th had a testi monial presmied before they left, by a few officials and others wl:o were of their party in 181. i. Col.

Cap tain l'riec, lute commissary-general here, who got into some difficulties with regard to " surpluses " not king carried to the credit of government, is charg,sl with fraud, and preliminary investigations are taking place. It would be invidious to say anything more at present. Mr. M'Carthe, colonial secretary, is getting better, and every 041 C is evinced at the prospect of his being able to stay with us, and give us the benefit of his undoubted talents. We had feared that it would have been necessary that he should visit England to rct r uit his health, but it is now understood that the necessity dues not exist. Coffee estates are looking well, the weather has been greatly in their favour, and much new land is bring opened. In the district of Dimboola about 000 acres of forest land have been felled and cleared during the past dry 11(SMil, and will be planted directly the rain sets in. Exchanges have fallen to a more favourable and healthy rate—vie., 7to 'per cent. This, though very high, is better than 141. . . . . The country now is very generally healthy.

THE SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS held their annual meeting yesterday at the Hanover-square-rooms. The Martens of Westminster (chairman) hiving mule a few prefatory remarks on the society, and its condition and progress, the report for the last year was read. It congratulated the society on the extension of the law for the prevention of cruelty to animals to Scotland, on the removal of Smithfield market, on the activity and the organization of branch societici in various parts of the British empire, glad on the extension of the infiu , nee of the society abroad, especially in France. The committee had received a donation of 1,4281., being the seventh part of a sum of 10,0001., lett by the late Mr. Lewis, of Cadogan-place, for charitable purposes. The attempt of the society to prevent cruelty to animals, and to prosecute those who practised such cruelty, had been eminently successful in must cast., but in many instances the objects of the society were defeated by the lowness of the tines. Tht income of the society from interest or funded property, donations, and subscriptions amounted to 2,2901. 13s. 6d., and the expen diture of the last year was LAI& 18s. 6d., leaving a surplus of 4911. 14s. 10d. in the treasurer's hands. The Earl of Lanesborough having moved that the r.•port be adopted and printed, the assembly was addressed by Mr. Thomas Allen, who impugned the proceedings, and generally criti cised the conduct of the committee. Mr. Allen's remarks elicited signs of displeasure from the meeting, and his accu sations were rebuttad by Mr. Oranville Berkeley, M.P., and Mr. John Wilkes, on behalf of the committee. The proceedings terminated with addresses from Sir James East end Lord Dudley Stuart.
