Consols for Account, July 8 .... 93i i a d SUPPRESSION OF THE SLAVE TRADE.—In the st opinion of most people 'who look upon the scene from a n' distance, the great noise made of late by the American people g anent the right of search, has arisen from a desire to per- St, petuate the slave trade. Their own laws, equally with those St , of Great Britain, condemn the traffic as piracy, and hold Sl those engaged in it to be worthy of death. But their attempts to put an end to it have been a sham; the force they have maintained upon the coast of Africa is altogetherinsuf ficient, and their denial of the right of visit has had the ef fect of allowing the trade to be carried on with comparative impunity. By a telegraphic despatch from Washington, we St , are glad to see that President Buchanan is about to disprove ' the charge made against his country. It is said that the British Government has complained of the inefficiency of the St American squad ron upon the African Coast, and that mea sures are to be taken to strengthen it immediately. By this proceeding the American Government will give evidence of its wish to put an end to the abominable traffic which some of its own citizens seek to justify. The visit of a British officer to one of their merchantmen has occasionally roused the fury of these fire-eating Southrons ; but in our opinion they will find much greater cause for that feeling in the fact mentioned in the Washington despatch—that no less than 25 slave-vessels have recently left the African coast under the protection of the stars and stripes. In the course which Mr. Buchanan has taken he will doubtless meet with the bitter opposition of the slave power. If he had to deal with a body of men who respected the laws of morality more than those of a barbarous and unprincipled " honour," the mere fact that a treaty exists by which the United States are bound to do their utmost to supprass this traffic in human beings would be a sufficient answer to their objections; they would seek a repeal of the engage ment rather than an evasion of their obligations. But so that they gain their ends they care little by what means.-- Toronto (West Canada) Globe. STEAM PLOUGHING AT IPSWICH.—An interesting trial took place at the meeting of the Suffolk Agricultural Society at Ipswich, on Friday, of the steam ploughing appa ratus of Mr. J. Fowler, and of the steam cultivator of Mr. Smith, of Woolston. The engine exhibited by Mr. Fowler was constructed by Messrs. Ransomes and Sims, of Ipswich, and is about to be shown at the great meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society at Warwick. The price of the whole apparatus (including engine) has now been reduced to £670, and the work done was certainly very effective, the plough, W hich compr i ses three shares, turning over the soil in a pid, r egu l ar, and satisfactory manner. The cultivating aPParatu s of Mr. Smith can be set in action by an ordinary portable agricultural engine, which can be after wards applied to other purposes, and the cost of the cultivator, steel ropes, windless, &C., is about £2lO. The principled. upon which Mr. Smith proceeds is not that of or mary Ploughing , but of " smashing up" the soil laterally and lon gitudina a l t ly so as to expose it to the action of the elements, a n d the same time render weeds easy of re moval instead of merely covering them up as in ploughing. Messrs. Howard, of Bedford, bale brought out Mr. Smith's apparatus. The subject s iL l if rrmT. Allena prominent p, topic of after. ed dinner discussion, and many discourageme an a his opinion that, sdifficultiesexpressed been overcome , the % tim e had at last arrived when the steam plough had becom e avail able on farms of large ex tent, especially in autumnal cultivation, as it would enable a large amount of work to be done expeditiously which could not otherwise be executed without a great number of horses, whose treading on the soil would, to some ex tent, counteract the effect of the tillage. REMARKABLE PHENOMENA DURING THE STORM. —A correspondent, writing from Lymington, Hants, says that during the storm on Saturday, which commenced there at seven r'clock in the evening, "The heavens were dis eharginc, a perfect deluge of ice -bolts —wedges of ice in every shape and size ; they exceeded three inches round, and some picked up were as big as oranges some all O ver the some as small as pullets' eggs. I saw them in white heaps lawns ; they melted away like snow. In falling they broke all the windows to the north-west. The windows in every direction for miles were broken, causing dam age and waste inconceivable ; 170 panes were broken in one dwelling. By half-past ten p.m. all was calm and still as possible."

This is a writ of error from the Court of Exchequer in Ireland. Mr. Johnstone, of the Irish bar, is now being heard for ate plaintiff. ROLLS COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Romilly.) BROOKE V. PEARSON.-JUDGMENT. The question here arises under the marriage settlement of William Pearson and Elizabeth, his wife. The hus-• band afterwards became bankrupt, and his real estate was sold for £17,400. The wife claimed an annuity of £3OO under the settlement; the children, £lO,OOO. The bank fupt's assignee claimed the residue. His Honour the Master of the Rolls said—ln this case I was desirous to look over the authorities yesterday before I expressed my opinion on it, but I am of opinion that this is a good annual rent-charge for £3OO in- favour of the wife. It is impossible for me to look to this clause in the settlement and not clearly . discover that it was the inten tion of Mr. and Mrs. Pearson that this should be the arrangement of the settlement. When I first heard Mr. Selwyn, I was disposed to think that this clause was void ab initio, but I have come to a contrary conclusion. His Honour declared the wife's annuity preferable to the claim of the assignee, and directed the trustees of the settlement to invest £lO,OOO in Three per Cent. Consols for the benefit of the children of the marriage; the mortgagees to be paid, and the residue given to the assignee in bankruptcy. Costs to be paid out of the estate. COURT OF BA.NKRT.TPTCY. Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque was the only commis sioner on the list, but had not taken his seat up to one o'clock. IN RE EAGSRAWF.

Lord Palmerston has done a very graceful, as well as a very just act, in offering to Mr. Charles Villiers that seat in the Cabinet which remained, or rather which had become vacant, in consequence of Mr. Cobden ' s refusal to join Vile Administration. Mr. Milner Gibson is promoted to the actual post which had been reserved for Mr. Cobden, and now the office which Mr. Gibson had vacated has been conferred upon Mr. Villiers. Few - people who are unfortunately old enough to remember the origin of the Free Trade movement will refuse their hearty sanction to this tardy acknowledgment of Moll desert. It was Mr. Charles Villiers who prac tically originated the Free Trade movement. For years before Messrs. Cobden and Bright were heard of as politicians Mr. Villiers annually brought the subject before Parliament. He it was who had to contend with all the odium and all the ridicule of urging a proposition which in those days was looked upon much in the same light as a serious motion for realising the ideas of St. Simon or Proudhon would be regarded in our time. Young politicians who are just entering upon the arena of public life have no idea of the fierce animosities of twenty years ago. In those days a Radical was still looked upon as a kind of monster, and a Free trader was to a Radical what a Radical w as to a truly respectable man. Still, even so, there were differences. Mr. Cobbett, or even the late Mr. Hume, might make proposals " subversive of the Throne and the altar," and it was taken that he was acting merely as a low, vulgar fellow, natu turally would act. It was otherwise when a man connected by birth, education, and family with the territorial classes dared to raise the standard of re bellion against their views, and what they sup posed to be their interests. Such a man was in stantly " Anathema"—a traitor to his order, as well as a disturber of the public peace. Now, Mr. Vil liers did this. As a youth he began the contest which he only saw ended when he had already at tained middle life ; he dissociated himself from the traditions of his class ; he incurred their animosity ; he sacrificed the ease and comfort of his own days, and all to fight a battle in which, as it turned out, he lost half the merit of success in the opinion of the vulgar. Charles Villiers stood half-way between Adam Smith and Richard Cobden. He therefore never got the credit of the philosopher whO for practical purposes may be said to have originated the. idea, or of the popular leader who manipulated the masses, and finally forced the Minister's hand. Mr. Villiers's share in the transaction was, how ever, quite as important- To him it was mainly due that the settlement of the question was carried in an orderly and Parliamentary way. One of the most ungenerous acts of the great Minister who at last suffered himself to be convinced was, that at the moment of surrender he did not give his fair share of praise to Mr. Villiers, who had so long brought the question before the house. His com plinients were reserved for the " unadorned elo quence" of the popular leader to whom he suc cumbed. The Free Trade party were more just, as well as more generous. In the hour of victory they at least did not forget to acknowledge the claims of the gentleman who had been the first to advocate their cause. Looking back, then, at his political career, we are justified in hoping that the choice of Mr. Villiers as a Cabinet Minister will give satisfaction to the Liberal party. It is per fectly true that he has not borne a very prominent, nor acted a very noisy part, in any of the shiftings and changes of Administration which have occurred since 1845-6. This fact, however, will scarcely prejudice Mr. Villiers in the opinion of the coun try. Even now Mr. Villiers has not thrust himself forward in any way, nor sought the position which has been offered to him. If the addition of Mr. Cobden could have strengthened the Liberal Ad ministration, Mr. Villiers was perfectly content to stand aside. When Mr. Cobden had refused, the choice naturally fell upon him, and we are glad to hear that he has accepted the office which Lord Palmerston was thus enabled to offer him, and to think that he has at last an opportunity for dis playing those administrative talents which found no scope in the formal duties of Judge-Advocate. — Times.

THE NEW GOVERNMENT AND ECCLESIASTICAL QUESTIONS. The Liberator, the organ of the religious equality party, thus writes of the two leading .questions which that party is striving to settle : "We have for the first time in our history a Cabinet a majority of the mexibers of which are committed to church-rate abolition. Of its sixteen members, Mr. Gladstone, Lord Campbell, the Duke of Newcastle, and Mr, Sidney Herbert, are all that have been able to persevere in their opposit:on to Sir J. Trelawny's bill. Lord Palmerston gave up last year. Lord J. Russell formally accepts aboli tion, and has proposed amendments which can un doubtedly be modified into acceptable provisions in a bill intended to pass. The Duke of Somerset moved our bill in the Lords, and Earl Granville led in its support. All the Ministerial subordinates, without one exception, are our pledged men. " What progress may be made with the bill this session we will not now anticipate ; but we cannot imagine that the Cabinet thus constituted will ven ture on anything so suicidal as even the appearance of trifling with the church-rate abolition. There is nothing left but this to distinguish them from the late Government. They cannot profess to offer facilities for discussion ; we have had all that from Mr. Disraeli. They cannot stand by, leaving the matter for the house to settle ; for even the late Government felt the necessity, weak as it was, of dealing with the question. They cannot now pro pose a compromise, for there is none which has not been rejected or withdrawn. Six of their own members are committed to abolition pure et simple ; five have nothing better to propose ; and the re mainder only want to be let down easy. Under these circumstances we think that all that has been charged against the composition of the Government by the advanced Liberals will be as nothing to the censure that must await them if they allow the Church-rate Abolition Bill to continue before Par liament after the close of next session. " We think also that we are entitled to demand that the whole weight of the Government influence should be thrown into the scale in affirmation of the principle of Mr. Dillwyn's Endowed Schools Bill, and that all av ailable facilities shooruld be n giv time en to ensure its being carried up the Lds i for its passing this session." MR. 6. T. F. S MITH'S WEATHER PBEDICTIONS FOR JULY. - From ,4th ; lo t weather 7th, ; 7th to 9th, showery ; 9th to 13th or. 14th, stormy and showery ; 14th to 20th, fine weather generally ; 20th to 23d, hot, stormy, awl showery, with thunder; heat and thunder abo# the 29th or 30th . . 12, Gloucester -place, Cheltenham, TILE NA VT. The Calcutta, 84, sailing two-decker, Capt. Wm. King Hall, and Belleisle, 6, old sailing 74 (hospital ship) Commander Henry Bingham, may be expected to arrive in England on or about the 14th instant. The Dauntless, 33, screw, Captain Edmondstone. —Up to noon yesterday this ship had not entered a single A.B. Popular captain or popular officer's are equally at a discount. Men of the right sort will not enter unless they know to a certainty the destination of a ship. It is reported that she is to be sent to the " coast. This is the reason for the non, entry of seamen. The Mediterranean station would work a change for the better. She is supposed to leave the Portsmouth steam basin on the 14th inst., and to be at Spithead by the 18th. Active and zealous officers must not be blamed because the Dauntless cannot pick up hands at the rendezvous. Although her ventilation has been much improved she is yet very much deficient in this necessary matter. She was always a deep, unwieldy, and heavy-looking vessel ; better at once caulk in her main deck ports, make her a corvette, and mount six heavy guns on her upper deck. " Sack" does not like the representation of a 33-gun frigate, which is in no way equal to the 21-gun Pearl cor vette, which has double•the accommodation as well as ventilation.

THE ARMY. The following circular memorandum, ordering the discontinuance of prizes given by officers to the best marksmen with the Enfield rifle has just been issued from the Horse Guards by order of the Duke of Cainbridge, and addressed to all commanding officers:— " The General Commanding-in-Chief understands that it is Customary in some regiments for captains to bestow, from their private funds, rewards to the best shots in their companies. " This practice,. though commendable in those who can afford it, as showing their esprit de corps, is in other spects invidious towards officers who, with every disposi tion to bestow like rewards, are unable to accomplish it. " Government has liberally granted distinctions and attendant pecuniary advantages to those who excel in rifle shooting. His Royal Highnss therefore requests that you will proibit the practice above alluded to, being confident, from the returns of tegiments and from the reports of the Inspector-General of Musketry, that soldiers possess in themselves sufficient emulation to attain perfection in that most important part of their instruction without other in-' ducements than those provided by regulation. . - " By command, "G. A. WETHERALL, Adjutant-General." Yesterday orders were issued to the barrack au thorities pt Chatham garrison directing the tents to be prepared and pitched near the hut barracks, at Brompton, for a portion of the depot companies belonging to the 3d battalion of infantry, to be encamped within the fortifications at Prince Henry's Bastion. Notwithstanding the heavy rain which fell on Sunday morning, the troops belonging to the 2d battalion, who are encamped within the Spur Battery, experienced little or no inconvenience, the ground having a sloping surface, throwing all the w ater off. In order to induce the men to re main as much as possible within camp after the duties of the day are over, a recreation ground has been provided for them , and this has been furnished with quoits, skittles, &c., amusements the troops appear to be very fond of. THE AFFAIR AT PER UGIA. The following is General Schtnid's report : " As I have already had the honour to report by telegram tho reduction of the city of Perugia to the legitimate government of the Holy See, I now pro ceed to offer a detailed account of the affair. " On the 20th of the present month, at 2 a.m., I left Fuligno with my regiment, accompanied by a section of indigenous artillery, npicquet of about 60 gendarmes, and 30 of the Financial Guard (Custom-house), and proceeded slowly and with all caution to the bridge of St. Giovanni, which a few hours before had been abandoned by the insurgents. I continued my route onwards, and, passing the Tiber, approached the Berge, which appeared de serted and uninhabited ; but scarcely had the mounted gendarmes, who formed the advanced guard, entered it, when a shot was fired from one of the closed houses. Without troubling myself with this suburb, I proceeded about half-a-mile on the main road, when I met the Cavalier Lattanzi, the Councillor of State, who was sent forward by the superior Government to Perugia, to demand the pacific re-establishment of order anal submission to the legitimate Sovereign. He informed me that all endeavours to reduce the factious to their duty had been in vain, and that they were obstinately determined to defend the city against every attack. " Conscious of the hostile intentions of the insurgents, and aware besides that reinforcements were expected from Tuscany, I decided on de laying the assault no longer, notwithstanding the fatigue of the troops in consequence of their long march. I accordingly directed the men to deposit their knapsacks, and, forming them in three columns, advanced towards the city in the midst of enthusiastic shouts of military ardour. " The first column, under the command of Major Teannerat, followed by the artillery, took the new road ; the second, commanded by Major Dupaquier, advanced by the old road ; and the third, compose& of two companies of voltigeurs, occupied the space between the first two, and passing over s ome fields and gardens, fell in with a p art y of tirailleurs in ambush, and opening a fire upon them soon drove them behind their entrenchments. At three in the afternoon, in spite of the broken state of the roads, the three columns arrived in front of St. Peter's, the point agreed up on ; and m aintained their • fi tion in face of a vigorous re from the bemegel behind their wall s and barricades. I endeav oured diffi culty of the troops, with a few canno n-shot to disperse the r ebels , but withoutoops, whichsuccess, a seeing y had read theimpatience considerable in restraining, I ordered the attack. "It is i m possible for me to describe the courage and the ardour with which my brave and valorous troops, calling on the name of the Sovereign Pontiff, rushed to the lofty walls of the city,and to the barricades which impeded th • eir approach to the gate. And as there were but few ladders, and the tools of the sappers and • miners were broken at their first attempt to use them, there remained no other means of surmountinn. 6 the walls but by the soldiers climbing on each others' backs. In a few minutes, however, the flag of the insurgents was torn down, and the Pontirlea 1 colours were unfolded in their stead. "The insurgents, driven back, retreated to the gate of St. Pietro, where their second line of defence were raised, occupying the houses in the street. Here a very obstinate combat took place under a most destructive fire; the troops, enraged at the vigorous resistance they met with, could no longer be restrained, and having taken possession of the barricade, successively became masters, one by one, of the, houses, from the wineows and roofs of which they had been fired upon. • " The enemy then took panic, and finding further resistance impossible, retreated headlong. towards the interior of the city, vainly endeavouring a last defence in various points. Filially, after three hours and a half of severe fighting* the troops gained possession of the piazza of Ow fort, in the midst of a heavy shower of rain, and there, with immense applause, raised the •banner of -the Sove reign. Every street was searched but n 9 trace of an enemy remained : every one, as if by enchant ment, had disappeared, and Perugia was com pletely occupied by the troops. /The conduct of the troops, of the officers, and. subalterns, the non commissioned officers, and of the privates, was in general such as do credit to the foreign regiments in the service of the Holy See, and well merits the trust that is reposed in them. "Nof ought I to be silent on the equal proofs of ' courage given by the indigenous troops of every arm who took part in the operation. I find worthy of notice the act of the gendarme Paolo Cavalien, who, although under arrest, begged to be allowed to take part in the fight, and wzs unfortunately struck by a bail, which broke his leg and placed his life in danger. The gendarme Paoletti was also wounded by a ball. I reserve to myself to give a separate report of the soldiers who distinguished themselves the most. Our loss is sensible-10 killed, including Captain Ab 'Uberg ; 35 wounded, including Captain Briteligy and Lieut.: Cruffer. But the.enemy's loss was much more considerable; and although not precisely known, cannot be less than 50 killed and 100 wounded, besides 120 pri soners. The same night the troops were • shut in their appointed. barracks, and order and discipline restored calm everywhere. The number of rebel combatants is reckoned at 5,000. They were com manded by a certain Colonel Antonio Corrotti, come expressly from Tuscany ; by Count Cesari and Giuseppe Danzetta, of Perugia. • Some of these are said to be wounded. The greater part taking flight through the various city gates escaped hastily to the Tuscan territory, but many are still hidden, and are falling every day into the power of the military government instituted by me. Now tran quillity and order are re-established among the peo ple, and the environs, such as Citta de Castello, le Fratte, &c., have made their voluntary submission to the government of the Holy See. A column of about 50 Tuscan Tuscan volunteers, who had ar rized at Passignano, returned to their own• country. when they heard of the result. The disarming goes on, and a considerable quantity of arms and ammunition is collected. Having thus given an account of my mission, I have only-to add that my sole desire and that of my troops is to prove our devotion and. fidelity to the august Sovereign and Government whom we have the honour to - serve. "The Colonel commanding the regiment: (Signed) " A. Sunni)." CONSERVATIVE LAND SOCIETI7. QUARTERLY MEETING-(THIS DAB'.)

The sale of the Park Estate, Weymputh, was commenced on the 23d lilt., and the Holders of rights of choice had the privilege afforded to them of early selection. The plots will now be disposed of at the prices marked on the plan, (including costs of conveyance, roads and drains), as purchasers present themselves, and the deeds will be handed over at once on the cost being paid in full. Per sons desirous of availing themselves of the borrow ing powers of seven-eighths of the purchase money from the society, can do so by acquiring the neces sary right at a nominal premium, and may pay the loan by monthly or other instalments. There are 301 building plots on this estate, which is situated only a few yards from the esplanade and bay, and adjoins the Great Western and South Western Stations. The highest priced plot of land is £1,671 Gs., and the lowest £5O 3s. The advertisements for tenders for the roads and drains have been issued, and no time will be lost in completing the works and carrying out the published plans. The competition for the hotel plots insured for the holders of the earliest rights of choice on the register considerable premiums for theirshares, and plots have been resold since the allotment at a large profit. These results have been effected without even holding a public meeting in the town ; but one will take place shortly, in order that the facility of obtaining freehold sites on this valuable property may be fully explained. The Conservative Land Society still continues to qualify in eleven counties persons desirous of obtaining the freehold franchise, and to afford them at the same time the security of a land investment. For the registration of 1859, circulars have been issued to the allottees on various estates, including county claims to be forwarded to the overseers ; the last day for such claims being sent in is the 20th inst., and they will be sustained at the Regis tration Courts free of expense to the members, The committee take this opportunity of reminollin ding allottees that they may claim to vote at any pg place of the county where their land is situated, and if not living in the county may elect to vote at any one of the polling places m ost convenient th e mselves. to The late general elec tion has p rove d the importance of attending to the registration, and on the members.telnieergcyomaninditgteocoacofanigthradtuislpaltaoyetdhebxsoitsciety The conveyances to the Ecclesiastical Commis. sioners of the freehold sites for the churches on the Maidstone and - Winchester estates, are now in pre paration by their solicitor in order that the edifices may be forthwith erected.
