The Directors of this Company beg to announce that they have adopted a new system of rates for the East and West ladies. considerably lower than those now charged by this or— they believe—any other company. but differing from the old sys tem In respect that no reduction takes place on the insured re turning to Europe or proceeding to any other part of the world not chargeable with an extra premium. According to this method the insured, instead of being sub lected to a heavy extra premium during the years of his resi dence In the Tropics. has the option of throwing the same over the whole currency of his Insurance by paying a fixed rate, which, it will be seen, is very little higher than the home one.

THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. PLYMOUTH, MAT 1, Emma. The Royal Mail steamer Dane arrived here this evening with the above mail and 36 paasengers. Among thiee cargo are several chests, cases, and packages for the International Exhibition. The Dane left the Cape on the 23rd March, St. Helena on the Ist ult., and Ascension on the 4th ult. She has been delayed by contrary winds At the Cape the military bead-quarters had been advanced from Graham's Town to King William's Town. The frontier was quiet. ' Sir Waller Currie was beyond the Kie, in No Man's Land, and was making arrangements for an nexing part of that territory to the colony. Adam Kok, the Grimana Chief, had sold his land to the Orange Free State, and removed with all his people. Territory had been granted to him in No Man's Land. Parliament was to meet on the 24th April. Rail way bills would be the great subject of discussion. Three, if not more, were expected to be passed, guaranteeing extensions or branch lines. The Governor was about to start from Cape Town on a tour through the Western Province before the meeting of parliament. The keystone of the masonry of Mosael Harbour Works had been laid by the Treasurer-General amidst great rejoicings on the 3rd March. The headquarters of the Commander-in-Chief and the Lieutenant-Governor were in future to be at Cape Town. The drought still continued in the Western Province. Many farmers had moved to the Free State. The Western Province Agricultural Society had held a meeting at St. George on Feb. 26th, 27th, and 28th. Notwithstanding the prevailing drought, it was in every respect a complete success. Samples of snuff manufactured from tobacco exhibited at this show had•been exhibited at Cape Town. The Pearl vintage had finished. The yield had been diminished by the drought. The Constantia vintage was not large, but very good. The application of sulphur had saved all the vines in the Constantia and most other wine dittricts. A great deal of opposition had been made by the extreme partisans of the Evangelical Society against the running of Sunday trains. The Governor and railway direct:us had been memorialiaed on the subject, but refused to take the memorial into con sideration. A separation meeting had been held at Port Eli zabeth, about two hundred persons being present. The hopes ofthe Separationists had been greatly re vived by the Governor promising to introduce mea sures into parliament which he trusted would satisfy ' both parties. Very little improvement had taken place in trade. , The demand for money was great, and the rates of • discount had been raised. BOARD OP TRADE, WRI7'INALL, APRIL 29.—The Right Hon. the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade have received from the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs a copy of a despatch from her Majesty's minister at Madrid, enclosing a copy of Spanish royal order, providing the following regulations applicable to the Custom-benne of Puerto Rico and Santo Domingo Masters of vessels may make any additions to their ships' manifesto, on condition of delivering the doonment con taining the alterations to the chief of Corbineers, when he makes the visit referred to in Art. 20 of the Custom-house instructions. 2.

THE WAR IN AMERICA. PO PO IDITOI OP THE WPM. Srs.,—l read in the Times a few days ago that Mr. Spoor had shown "in his admirable work" that the - war now raging in America "was not a war for slavey or emancipation , but for po li tical predominance." I have since read the " admirable work " in question ; and the only thing I can gather from it distinctly is, that, in Mr. Srpence's opinion, the Union is too large and had better be broken up. What he really considers the cause of the civil war I have been totally unable to discover; and I have been so much struck by his contradic tions, as well as by his blunders, that I can only account for the success of his work upon the theory that any reason is good enough to support a fore gone conclusion. A large portion of the public must have been determined to believe the worst of Americana or their institutions before Mr. Spence's book appeared at all y or it could not possibly have run through four editions in twelve months. It is iin 14e to suppose that any considerable number of en can have sat down to read it without a strong . hiss, and have risen up either convinced that he is right or knowing what he means. That portion of his work which treats of the causes of the war is naturally the one which pos sesses most interest here, and it furnishes such abundant proof not only that he is not competent to reveal them to the public, but does not know what they are himself, that I cannot help asking your permission to prove my charges by a few cita tions from it He assign., in Chap. 111., three causes for the disruption of the Union :—"First, a political cause—the reversal of the balance of power by the immigration into the Northern States ; secondly, embittered feeling, existing originally, but aggra vated by the continued agitation of the Northern abolitionists ; thirdly, endangered interests, exposed now to the action of the protectionistparty on their emulsion to power." I Had he remained content with stating these con clusions as they stand here it might have been dif ficult to upset them, but he has unfortunately at tempted to prove them at length, and thus plunges himself and his readers at once into the mire. He starts lsy asserting, what is very true, that the immigration of Irish and Germans into the Northern 13tates during the last thirty years has caused the Northern population to increase in a I much larger ratio than that of the South, which was kept down by the prohibition of the slave trade. What effect this had in " reversing the balance of power," as he calls it, does not, however, clearly appear, inasmuch as though it increased the popu lation of the North, the vast majority of the votes of the new camera were given to the ' democratic" or pro-slavery party, or, in other words, to the cause of the South. The Irish catholics at the North were, as is well known, the most bitter enemies of the anti-slavery agitation to be found on the Continent. What use the South made of them Mr. Spence explains as follows. Speaking of the republican party, which elected Mr. Lincoln, lie says, " This party comprises the great mass of the intellect and wealth of the North. It is also the protectionist party. Its leaning is in favour of a strong government, and whatever there may be of aristocracy at the North belongs to it. To this party the &nth, whose system as regards the ruling political class is essentially aristocratic, should naturally have been allied. But here arises', a singular result of the complexity of .American government. The aristocracy of the South act in conjunction rich with the cooservation, but with the democracy of the North. From the first the Southern Stites anticipated danger at the hands of I. strong government which might pass into other hands than their own. Slavery wal l originally on the defensive, and under *Auld of their own State governments they were in seety ; all beyond was insecure. They were the supporter of state right, as opposed to the powers of the central government Conser vatives themselves, they became the opponents of conservative principles in the Federal body. I By means of tins alliance the South maintained its original political supremacy not only long after , the change in relative population had removed its 1 solid foundation, but down to the present day." (Pp. 103-4.) A few lines before this he remarks also, " in the House of Representatives the num- I bar of members from the free States had long pre ponderated ; but here th , . effect of numbers was' neutralised bypolitieal skill. Had the North acted as one body it would have been irresistible ; but by its division into two parties bitterly opposed it was in the power of the South by uniting with one of them to outvote the other, and command a constant majority." So that it would appear from this that the immi grants, so far from helping to "reverse the balance l op of power," pod to keep it as it was, by fur nishin the th with tools in the shape of what Mr. Spence elsewhere, " foreigners in com mand of political power without either training or association to fit them for it" Now, what is this "balance of power" which was " reversed " 1 Mr. Spence nowhere explains in direct terms ; but what its use was, and what the loss of it involved, in the eyes of the South, we presume we may gather from the follow ing passage (let me say here that the italics through out this letter are mine) :—" And it is necessary to consider that to the mind, and in the sincere (though it may be erroneous) convictions of the Southerner, this transfer is far more than the loss lof prestige, of influence, or the emoluments of power. The election of Mr. Lincoln represents to him the determination of the North, as a body, to act on the question of slavery in opposition to and disregard of the constitution that pro ' tads it. it is true that such action would be at first indirect, by excluding him from the territories which belong as much to the South as the North, by surrounding him with a cordon of free States„ by compressing him, by suffocating hon. He anticipates injury to his material interests at the hands of the Northern monopolists, but in the action of the abolitionists now impelling those in power he forebodes the destruction of his pro perty, the ruin of his State, and the danger of his " (p. 106). Now, as the republican party has always proposed to itself to " suffocate " slavery, and compress it by "surrounding it with a cordon of free States," and as the foregoing passage describes exactly the feelings about Lincoln's election which writers on the Northern side have always attributed to the Southerners, when I read it I con cluded Mr. Spence took the Northern view of the matter. But a few pages further on I found that I was totally mistaken ; that the Southerners were not in the least afraid that the North was going to meddle with slavery, and thatanybody who thought they were was an ignoramus. Our author, by the time he got to page 134, had either totally forgotten what he midst page 106, or else had changed his mind in the interval. Instead of " feeling them pelves in safety under the shield of their own State governments,' and thinking "all beyond insecure" (pp. 103-4), we are requested " to see clearly that looking only to slavery, its maintenance, and pro tection, the Southerner can desire nothing more than he already has in the constitution of the Union. What, indeed, has he to gain by such a change as the present one ? Instead of the whole liower of the Continent to support him, two-thirds of it will be lost to him—perhaps arrayed against him. In place of the Northern States to prevent, to act as a prison wall to the escape of his slaves, and return them at his bidding, he makes them foreign and jealous powers. Instead of abolitionism being the doctrine of a small sect, regarded as fana tical by the great majority of the North, he will have it adopted as an article of the general creed. It is difficult to imagine a change more dan gerous, more disastrous to his interest as a slaveowner ; for to these permanent effects is added at once an enormous depreciation in the value of [Stamped, id. Additional his property . of all descriptions, with the risk of hostile armies shattering the whole system into ruins. Hence, to support the theory that slavery as a system has been the cause of existing events, we must suppose its people ignorant of their eon etitution and all its safeguards, and blind to evils and dangers inevitable in the change, and so ob vious that he who runs may read them. Bid the OM of the South have been through the history of the United States the ablest statesmen of the Union, and it cannot be conceived that they could be blind to conic ' so manifest. The truth is apparent that, so C e r " al u slavery is concerned, the South has !very pos sible reason for remaining in the (Tinos, and (that they have acted in direct opposition to that interest under the influence of other and more powerful considerations" (p. 134-5). "It may be said that although the present state of facts may be as we have described, yet that the accession of the republican party to power produced an apprehen sion that the strength of the North might be even ! tually exerted to abolish slavery, and that the I South have acted in this anticipation." Not only " way it be said j " but, as we have seen, he has himself Raid it. " /iut this theory can only be I entertained," he coolly continues, "by those who art unacquainted with American politics. There exists in the North a small sect of abolitionists, zealous to fanaticism, but resolute untiring men. In numbers they are a handful. In polities they are tabooed by both parties. By the mass of the people at the North they were avoided and ridiculed. At the present moment they stand apart in their laction from that of the Washington government, and . are one of itemost perplexing difficulties." (P. 136.) He has, however, told us a few pages previously that "the abolitionists now impelled those in power." It thus appears that what we read at page 106 was all false—that the Southerner does not ' see in the election of Mr. Lincoln the determination of the ! North as a body to act upon the question of slavery, in disregard of the constitution ;" that he does not, I"in the action of the abolitionists now impelling those in power, forebode the destruction of his property, the ruin of his State, and the danger of his life ;" he leaves the Union for " other and more powerful considerations." What the "other considerations" are which act upon the Southerner more power fully than the prospect of seeing his property de , strayed, his State ruined, and his life put m danger by the abolitionists, Mr. Spetce has not been good enough to inform us ; but they must be something novel as well as awful. I think you will see from the foregoing that it is in the highest degree improbable that anybody who knew nothing of American politics, and bad formed no opinion on the present crisis previous to reading # the jumble of absurdities forming Mr. Spenoe disquisition on " the causes of the disruption," could form from it any clear idea whatever of the infitieuces which operated on the South in seceding. Any one who thinks he has profited by its perusal was certainly satisfied before he took it up, that the Mega deserved to go to ruin for some reason or other, be did not much care what, and has adopted Mr. Spence's compound as the first and most agreeable that came to band. So much for Southern motives for disruption. Now let us see what we can learn of Northern intentions in electing Lincoln or in • on the present war. Let me observe here that Mr. Spence, a passionate partisan, and avowedly so throughout his work, never becomes so excited as when he undertakes to resist the appeal of the North for sympathy from Englishmen, on the ground that the war is being carried on on their side against slavery. This he declares "to be a mockery of our reason, based on some great delusion in those who ask it ;" and during the remainder of his attempt to reply to it his exertions become so violent that he completely disencumbers himself of both law and facts, and betakes himself to very incoherent declamation. He has already informed us " that the republican party comprises the great mass of the intellect and wealth of the North," and he might have added, of its professed Chris tianity. He now proceeds to accuse this party of oppoong slavery as a mere " matter of party." " The democrat," he says, "supports slavery ; the object of the republican is to defeat the democrat ; therefore he must needs object to slavery as a party matter." (P. 137.) He adds—forgting again all he has told us about Southern fears— " the Southerner is well aware of all this. The agitation of the ques tion has no shock of novelty, it has existed for half s century, and has frequently been more violent than at any period of the part year. They are well aware of the considerable portion of make-believe in American professions. They had ample evidence of the in tended policy of the republican party and of the goyernmegt now under its control." (P. 138.) He then cites - the passage in the republican platform drawn up at Chico in 1860, recognising as in violate the right of edth State "to order and con trol its own domestic 'institutions, according to its own judgment exclusively ;" also Mr. Lincoln's in augural address to the same effect Warming with the subject, he at last assures us, that so little sincere hostility to slavery is there at the North, that, in cane of the South eventually achieving its independence, " a very prominent condition of the treaty of peace will doubtless be the rendition of slaves ;" in other words, Mr. Spence is of opinion that the rage and indignation which greeted the Fugitive Slave Law at the North, and which sent Daniel Webster, their idol, broken-hearted into private life for having supported it, was all a sham, and that the I people will accord cheerfully to a detested enemy after a bloody war, what it accorded unwillinglyto a party of its own citizens, which was, according to ldr. Spence, down to last year in full possession of " political supremacy." He has, as we have seen at . page 106, described the abolitionists "as now impelling those in power ;" at page 136, however, he describes them as " a small sect " " tabooed by both parties," and " avoided and ridiculed by the mass of the people at the North ;" and "as standing apart in their action from the government." As we have just shown also he denies that the republican party are animated by any hostility to slavery. At page 147, however, he accuses the North of having changed its moral standard with respect to slavery and seeking to force its altered views upon the South," and adds, " Any American has a clear right to urge the abolition of slavery in his own State amongst his own people, and to use such form of persuasion as may seem beet to him. But it becomes a very dif ferent thing when one section assumes this right against another section." On the preoeding page (148) ho tells us that the agitation against slave ry at the North is la gnawing agitation,' , which not only aims at the destruction of their property (that of the Southerners) accompanied by the jeopardy of their existence, but holds them up to scorn in the press, in the pulpit, in society, as men of no prin ciple of no humanity ; which depicts them as monsters in novels, and denounces them as repro bates in sermons.' He adds, moreover, that " the Southerner is conscious that the rising gene ration at the North is being educated to look on him as oneof a lower order of civilisation, ass culprit and a sinner, whom it is a religious duty to reclaim from the error of his ways, or to punish him for hie wickedness." (P. 146.) Yon see the demand he makes on our stupidity here. He requires us to be lieve either theta small sect at the North, "tabooed by both parties," and " avoided and ridiculed by the mass of the people," nevertheless had the con trol of the pulpit and the press, and of society, and more than this, of the education of the young, and used them against slavery with such terrible effect as to madden the Southern States, containing, as he says at page 145, " the most accomplished and refined of American society," into revolution and civil war, or else that the republican party, comprising, as he also states, "the wealth and intellect of the North," and the masses of the Northern people, though animated by no hostility to slavery, actually have been such scheming [TWOPENI hypocrites as to use their books, newspapers, churches, for years, for the furious denunciation of it, anal as a crowning stroke of baseness, have trained their children up to loathe it, and to loathe anddespiseshtveholders, simply "asapartymatter and for the purpose of " defeating the democrats." More than this, if more be possible, he actually identifies the abolitionists with the Northern people, by reproaching them at p. 149 with having failed to emancipate the slaves in the district of Columbia ; at p. 160, with having failed to emanci pate them in the little state of Delaware, and with the poverty and degradation of the free blacks at the North ; and to crown all, at p. 151 wi th not having suppressed the slave trade at Boston and New York. "How," he ask s, after enumerating all these sins of " omission, "shall we account for the apathy of the abolitionists at home ?' Now it is plain, even if we were all as muddlebrained as Mr. Spence evidently takes us to be, that if the abolitionist& be only a amall " tabooed," " ridi culed," and " avoided sect," at the North, it is absurd to reproach them with any of these things ; and if the rest of the republicans be as notoriously wanting in hostility to slavery as Mr. Speuce declares them to be, there was no inconsistency whatever in their leaving it un touched, even where they had the power to abolish it--a power which, however, according to Mr. Spence's own showing, in other places, they neves , either in Delaware or the district of Co tbe South, by leaguing itself with the foreign pro-slavery democrats of the North, "was always able to outvote than, and command a constant majority." (P. 103.) Through the whole of this extraordinary per formance Mr. Spence quotes but one fact in sup port of his various conclusions, and this, as might be expected, he mis-states. The blunder displays such a want of care that it would be inexcusable under any circumstances, but it is doubly inex cusable when committed by a writer who has been set up for the last six months as the highest authority in England upon questions of American constitutional law. He alleges as a proof of the truth of his statement, that the South neither feared anything nor had anything to fear touching slavery from the accession of the republicans to power, that a certain "addition has been made to the constitution since Mr. Lincoln's inauguration," and that "it was proposed by Congress on the 3rd of March last (1861), and runs thus :—' That no amendment shall be made to the constitution which will authorise or rive Congress lower to abolish or interfere, within any State, with the domestic institutions thereof, including that of persons held to labour or servitude by the laws of the said State." "It is," says Mr. izazz " therefore, now part of the constitution a of the United States that its government has no power, and never shall take any power, to interfere with slavery in any of the States. ' And irtheron, in reference to the same thing, he adds, " now delouse of at constitution, supreme above the powers of Cowma, ordains that slavery, so far as Federal legislation or government extends, is irrevocable in the United States " (pp. 140.1). Now if he had read carefully the copy of the constitution of the United States, which he has printed in the appendix to his own book, he would have seen that the sth article of that instrument runs as follows : _ _ _ " The Congress, whenever two-thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propos!, amendments to this constitution, or, on the apph cation of the legislatures of two-thirds of ths several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which in either eass shall be valid to all intents and purposes as part of this oonstiku- Moo, whew ratified by the iegierss of three fourths of the several States, or by conventions in three. fourths thereof, as one or other mode of ratification may be proposed by the Congress." So that in order to become part of the oonstita tion the above amendment in March, 1861, must have been agreed to by the legislatures of at least twenty-five States, or, in other words, by all the Free States and six of the Slave States. This, I need hardly say, was not yossible, even if it had been tried ; but it was not tried. The proposition Cowes was not voted upon at all after s ti ode rseed it. The States that had then would not have accepted it, and few of the Free States would have concurred in it. So that it forms part of the Federal bond, " supreme above the powers of Congress," nowhere except in Mr. Spence's imagination, and yet he has actually added it to the list of amendments to the oonsti- tntion in_ Ina appendix, with the date of its 44 ravage , Hie treatment of the question of slavery iu the territories is as much marked by confusion and inaccuracy as the rest of his essay.

Au outdoor meeting of the inhabitants of Ashton-under- Lyne was held in the market-place of that town, on Wed nesday evening. There were shout 8,000 persons present. JORMIII WOOD, of Ashton, was nominated chairman. After briefly opening the pr oceedings, he called open Mr. WILLIAM ATTIC= to move the first resolution, which was as follows :—" That, in the opinion of this meeting, it is the bounden duty of the people in the manufacturing dis tricts of Great Britain and Ireland to use every moral mew in their power, and to memorialise parliament for the re cognition of the Southern Confederacy and an alteration in the maritime law of MAIMS, that neutral ships of commerce shall per freely over the waters of the world." Mr. Aitken denied that he was in favour of slavery ; and he =- premed a hope that committals of the working climes lied committer of the employers would be formed to carry out his motion. _ . . Mir. ALFRED ICI3IBHAW seconded the resolution, which was suppo rted by Mr. JOHN MATHZIII4. Mr. CHINON said he could not see how it wee pc able that any immediate re li ef could result from the lion of the South. He supposed they did not wish to d ared • the North, for in so doing they would be preferring slavery. He, therefore, proposed the following amendment :—"That it is the opinion of this meeting that it is not only the inte rest but the duty also of England and France to go hand in hand with the government of North America in putting down the rebels ri the South, inasmuch as, by their open professioas and their daily practice, they prove themselves to be &batten of slavery and the enemies of liberty, sad an everlasting curse to mankind, and by their revolt eigebast the most liberal government in the world they have thrown the whole continent of America, and every part of the civilised world, into a state of misery, privatioo, &ad a ge that neither tonne nor pen can describe. W e say, that for the sake of humanity, justice, liberty, lion, and the future peace and prosperity of mind, iris an interest ond • duty to Wien end to the unjust and barbarous rebellion ; and therefore entreat the three governments to act in mart, and crush this uncalled-for rebellion at once and for eve." I The amendment was received with mingled cries at angst d disient, and was seconded by several persons. Alter two other peewee had addressed the meeting, the motion and amendment were put.
