(Before Mr. Kerr.) THE CUSTOM IN TIM COAL TRADE.-FIELDING V. The letter of Lord John Russell on the suppres sion of the odious traffic in slaves and the intro duction of coolies, communicated to the American Government by Lord Lyons, has received from the Secretary of State at Washington the following reply DUBLIN, TUESDAY MORNING. THE HARVEST. ANDREWS. Everything ooks more promising to-day. Scarcely any rain for three whole days, and the weather, though rather cold for the month, looks settled fair. The last accounts from Cork, King's county, West meath, and Longford are extremely favourable. In the county of Cork reaping has become quite general, and numerous fields are now to be seen with the corn stacked. The complaints of the extension of the potato blight are less numerous than they were a week ago, but there is no question that the crop will show a deficiency as compared with last year's return. In some of the country markets the price is suspiciously low at this early period. This was an action to recover 4s. 21, and considerable interest has been excited, as, though the amount is small, a principle and custom, involving thousands of pounds, is in question. Plaintiff is a coal merchant of Tooley-street - , and defendant partner in a firm of coal chip brokers, The present claim was made up as follows :-I.s. overcharge on light dues, &c., paid at Sunderland ; 3s. charge for charter party; and 2d. overcharge on metage. Plaintiff said that he had been charged 31s. for light dues, &c., at Sunderland, whereas for the same ship, Regina, he had only paid 30s. at Shields. • His Honour held that chat was paid at another port was nothing in this case. Plaintiff said that he discovered the actual amount paid, as per certificate from the Custom•hottse, to be only £l* 58, Cd, Defendant said his firm paid a clerk 1130 per annum to manage this portion of their business, aad it was not likely the firm would work for nothing. As to the charter party charge, plaintiff declared that the commission of 21 per cent. covered all, and he could pro duce evidence to show that the charge was net made by the brokers. He had paid defendant's firm a similar amount on a previous occasion, simply out of courtesy, and he also objected to it. Defendant remarked that he would bring evidence to prove that a charge was always made, and such charge varied from 10s. to 3s. His Honour said that to prove a custom it was not ne cessary to bring two, three, or five witnesses ; a great number—if necessary, the whole body engaged in the coal trade should attend. What one firm did was not a custom if another firm did a precisely opposite thing. He would adjourn the case in order that witnesses might be summoned. on each side, giving plaintiff leave to amend his particulars. He must impress upon the mind of defendant the fact that it required the very strongest evidence to esta , blish a custom. No costs allowed on either side. Department of State, Washington, Aug. 10. Sir,—l have the honour to inform you that - the despatch from Lord John Russell, dated the 11th of July, 1860, which you read to me, and a copy- of which you left at this department, has been sub mitted to the President, with its accompaniment of printed documents relative to the coolie trade. He has given a most careful consideration to the three propositions which you have been instructed to make. It is unnecessary to express in reply the perfect agreement between this Government and that of her Britannic Majesty in their estimate of the character of the African slave trade. The action of the Government of the United States upon this subject has been so long con tinued, so consistent, and is so familiar to the civilised world, that I can properly refer to it as the clearest and strongest manifestation of its opinion, and I am instructed to say that the President learns with great pleasure from Lord John Russell's com munication that her Britannic Majesty's Go vernment can at length see with satisfaction the happy result of its efforts and sacrifices in the cause of humanity, and the steady diminution of this illegal traffic is accompanied by a corresponding development of honourable and lucrative commerce on the coast of Africa, which promises in the course of years to extinguish the slave trade in • a most effectual manner. He regrets, however, that this agreeable prospect has been overclouded by the fact, also communicated, that this trade. has again increased within the last two years, and that pre parations are being made " in the island of Cuba" for the prosecution of the trade on a most exten sive scale by means of association. This intelligence is believed to be well founded. The President has long entertained the opinion that the African slave trade will never be suppressed whilst efforts for that purpose are confined to the pursuit and capture of slavers between the coast of Africa and the Island of Cuba. To effect anything positive or permanent the barracoons on the African coast must be broken up, and the slavers prevented from landing their cargoes in Cuba; or, if landed, the slaves must be followed into tho interior and set free from the purchasers. Whenever her Bri tannic Majesty's Government shall think it proper, in its disci etion, to enforce the provisions of the treaty with Spain referred to by Lord John Rus sell, by which the Spanish Crown undertook to abolish the slave trade, and accepted a sum of £400,000 to enable it the more easily to do so, then, and not until then, in the President's opinion, will the African trade with the island of Cuba be abo lished. But with this the Government, of the United States has no right to interfere. While, however, holding these general views, the President cannot give his assent to the propositions which have been submitted to him, for the follow ing reasons, which I proceed to state in the order in which the propositions have been made : First.—A systematic plan of cruising on the coast. This proposition would involve the necessity of a treaty with Spain to enable the cruisers of the United States to enter the waters of Cuba within a marine leagie from shore. The Spanish Government, so far from having given any intimation that a violation of its sove reignty to this extent would be permitted, has only recently made the strongest complaints to this Go vernment against the cruisers of the United States, upon the alleged ground that they had captured slavers within Cuban waters. While, therefore, Great Britain has already acquired this right by treaty, the United States do not possess it, and their cruisers would, consequently, be arrested in the pur suit of slavers as soon as they had entered Spanish jurisdiction ; whilst the cruisers of Great Britain and Spain could not only continue the pursuit until the slaves had landed, but could follow them into the interior of the island. It is but proper, however, to say, that while the President does not suppose that the Government of Spain would enter into au arrangement with the United States similar to its treaty with Great Britain, he could not consent to any such arrangement, for it would violate the well-established policy of this country—not to in terfere in the domestic concerns of foreign nations, nor to enter into alliance with foreign. Governments. This Government has maintained, and will continue to maintain, a naval force in the neighbourhood of Cuba for the enforcement of its own laws. It will, to the utmost extent of its power, put down this abominable traffic, and capture all Ame rican vessels, and punish all American citizens en gaged in it. The success which has already at tended our efforts near the coasts of Cuba prove that we have done our duty in this respect, and this at an enormous expense, for the support of the captured Africans, for their transportation back to Africa, and for their liberal maintenance there during the period of a year after their return. Second.—The laws of regulation and inspection in the island of Cuba, by which the employment of slaves imported contrary to law might be detected by the Spanish authorities. After what has been said, it is unnecessary to state that the Government of the United States could not ask Spain to pass such laws of registra tion, But if this were otherwise, it is quite cer tain that such laws would have no practical effect. For if "her Majesty's Government are well aware that the price of sugar and the demand for labour afford the slave trader profits which enable him to corrupt the authorities, whose duty it is to thwart and defeat this criminal enterprise," and if joint stock companies are established at Havana for the prosecuting the African slave trade under the eye of the highest officials of the island, and with perfect impunity, it would be vain to expect the registrars throughout the country would counteract the policy of their superiors by faithfully performing their duty. Third.—A plan of emigration from China, regu lated by the agents of European nations, in con junction with the Chinese authorities. It is not probable that Lord J. Russell expected this Government to unite in forming such a plan of emigration from China, for if he had entertained this idea he would scarcely have omitted " the agents" of the United States from any participation in its regulation. Nor can the President share in the anticipation of her Britannic Majesty's Govern ment, that the coolie trade can be put on any such footing as will relieve it of those features of fraud and violence which render the details of its prose cution scarcely less horrible than those of the middle passage • and he is of opinion that it would exert a most deleterious influence upon every portion of this country to import into it Chinese coolies as labourers. In the States where the institution of domestic slavery exists, these heathen coolies would demoralise the peaceful, contented, and orderly slaves, very many of whom are sincere Christians, and in the free States they would be brought into competition with our own respectable and indus trious labourers, whether of native or foreign birth, who constitute so large a portion of our best citizens. I avail myself of this opportunity to renew to you, sir, the assurance of my high consideration. 'W. 11. TRESCOTT, Acting Secretary. To W. Douglas Irving, Esq., &c: POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS Dill.) MARLBORO - UGH-STREE T. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY AT A JEWELLER'S. --Charles Fletcher, a respectable-looking young man, residing at 23, Broadley-terrace, Blandford-square, clerk, in the employ of Messrs. Henry Collingwood and Richard Abud, jewellers, 46, Conduit-street, was charged, before Mr. Beadon, with stealing 19 gold chains, 1 gold watch key, two rings, &c., the property of his masters, and of the value of £lOO. Mr. Robert Nelson Collingwood said he wee assistant to his father, Mr. Henry Collingwood, and Mr. Richard Abud, jewellers, in whose employ the prisoner was a clerk. On Saturday last, having missed a - gold chain, he went through the list, and then found that several more were missing. H e told his father he was afraid there was something wrong, and his rather then told him be had seen in a paper an advertisement of a chain being stopped. He went to the shop of Mr, Mills, pawn broker, in the Edgware -road, the address given in the ad vertisement, and there saw the chain they had missed and some others. He then returned and told the prisoner there was something wrong. The prisoner was then taken into a back room by him, and he told him it might be better for him if he told the truth as to where the chains were. He said some were p a w ned opposite Mr. Mills 's, some in Lis son-grove, in Duke •street, Park-place, and elsewhere He was then asked where the duplicates were, and he said they were in his desk, and on search being made they were found done up in packets, on which was written "Charles Fletcher's memorandums." 4r. Henry Leeson Slight, assistant to Mrs. Rosetta Smith, pawnbroker, Edgware-road, produced four chains (identified by Mr. Collingwood), two of which he received in pledge from the prisoner—one for '3 on the Bth June, and the other for £2 on the 19th July. Mr. Bowles, inspector of the C Division, said he wished for a remand for the attendance of the other pawnbrokers, • as there were several to attend. Mr. Beadon remanded the prisoner for a week. THAMES, Till S)toKE NI,Tts. , ,NcE LIMETTOrSE.—The foreman of the pottery works, Bumton's-wharf, Limehouse, appeared before Mr. Selfe to answer a summons and information pre ferred by order of the Secretary of State for the Home Depar t me nt against Henry Millichamp, proprietor of the factory, for using a furnace so constructed as not to burn or consume its own smoke. Smith, a police-constable, No. 415 K, proved the service of the summons ; and John Pillar, a police,sergeant, No. 13 K, was called to prove the existence of a great nuisance, which has been much complained of by the inhabitants of Ratcliff and Limehouse. Ho said that dense volumes of black smoke were almost constantly issuing from Mr. Milli champ's chimney shaft, and it darkened the Commercial road and adjacent str eete. The last time he watched the chimney a continual cloud of black smoke issued from it forktwenty-seven minutes. The chimney was not so lofty as it should be, and the factory, which was close to the Commercial-road, and facing the Regent's Canal Dock, was complained of as a nuisance. Mr. Selfe—l have heard of this place and Mr. Milli champ before. What is the place—what do they make on the premises ? Pillar—lt is a drain pipe mannfactory. The foreman said he would leave the matter in the hands of the magistrate. A remedy hal been tried and failed. Mr. Selfe—Then you must try another. The defendant has been fitted before. Mr. Sandison, civil engineer., in the employ of the Government, said the defendant was fined £3 for a similar offence three years ago. Mr. Mllichanni had large works in Lambeth, where a similar inisance had existed. He believed the defendant had prorided a large boiler for the Lambeth works, and he believe , ' they would in some mea sure, when in operation, remove the objections com plained of. Mr. Selfe—Three years is a ong time for this smoke nuisance to be continued since tle last con - iction. Do you press for the double penalty on a econd conviction? Mr. Sandison—No, only for tie single penalty. Mr. Pillar —Everything is blackened with the smoke from the defendant's chimney. There are loud complaints from the inhabitants. Mr. Selfe fined the defendant £3, and said the sooner he completed the alterations of his itrnaces the better. Such a nuisance could not be tolerated any longer. THE MYSTERIOUS MURDER AT ROAD, FROME, TUESDAY, From information received to-day it appears that the Home Secretary has come to a decision respecting the steps which are to be taken to re investigate this mysterious case. Early this morn ing a police officer proceeded to Mr. Kent's resi dence at Road, and requested that the gardener and groom, and, we believe, some of the other domestic servants, should accompany him to Bath. Of course the request, which was almost a command, was ac ceded to ; and the servants, accompanied by Emily Dail ) a person who was in the house on the morn ing of the murder, but who has not yet been examined, and Benger, one of the men who found the mangled corpse of the child, proceeded to Bath, where they were examined before Mr. Slack, solicitor. As to the real object of this step, every one is at present in the dark. Neither Mr. Kent nor his legal adviser have been communicated with, and the construction put upon it is that the Govern ment, feeling that a special commission is im practicable, has resolved to place the matter in the hands of a local solicitor. - Whether this surmise is the correct one there is at present no means the of knowing, but, as we have befor e stated, it is only explanation which Mr. Kent and his solicitor can give. , We need hardly say that great interest is felt in his new and unexpected turn of affairs- the new CHANCERY REFORMS.—Yesterday.: roYlicare r o e.

Library Edition. Deeereux. Vol I. Blackwood and Sons; The eleventh volume of this singularly beautiful periodical issue of the novels and romances of Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton is the initial volume of the second of the four series into which the Library Edition has been subdivided. The completion of the first series we have already indicated. The Caxton Novels, ta i khe number of 10 volumes, having appropriately ingngurated the "set" of Forty- Three—appropriately that is, considering that the name of the firm of William Blackwood and Sons appears at the foot of every title-page. No wonder the publishers at once accorded precedence to the three works associated .with the later fame of Maga, those three popular and re nowned Caxton Novels which have assumed so conspicuous, and even prominent a place among the latest of the literary glories of Blackwood, " The Caxtons" themselves, or rather itself (speak ing of it as a book), being to our own thinking about the most perfect among all Sir E. B. Lytton's • prose master-pieces: And the two more elaborate fictions which followed—(purporting to have been written by Pisistratus, and assuming to themselves an elevation proportioned to their elaboration) —is it not reasonable wholely apart from any preference or personal predelietion of the publishers, is it not in simple keeping, so to speak, with the mere fit ness of things that " My Novel" and " What will he do with it," should lead off with their grand march the stately procession of the Bulwer Lytton works of imagination ? Everything considered in the arrangement of the sequence of the issue of the forty-three volumes of this charming Library Edition of England's Greatest Romancist, we cannot but feel satisfied that the Messrs. Black wood have acted judiciously in following their own instinctive e nc l . - illation. An alternative cer tainly lay before them tempting them to the republication of these works in the order of time, in the order that is of their ori ginal publication. The result, however, would only have been con fusefi ly miscellaneous. o " Pelham" would ha ve o p ene d the procession ul and " Pisistratus" closed it—but between the two the train of imaging: characters would have it t lis is t y been rather jumbled aud as a As no novelist will scope of Sir Edward's g will be more accurately appreciated by even the most superficial observers from the subdivision of the Forty-three Volumes of this Library Edition into the Four Series announced about a year backin anticipation of its commencement. Firstly —the ten volumes of The Caxtons Novels — last month completed. Secondly—the twelve volumes of the Historical Romances—this month commenced. Thirdly—the five volumes of the pure and simple Romance3—which are to follow as the penultimate series in the order of republi cation. And Fourthly and Finally—the Sixteen Volumes of the Novels of Life and Manners. It is with the second series that we have here to do at this moment exclu sively—namely, with the six " Historical Romances" beginning with " Devereux." Dev reux having been simply selected to inaugurate these half-dozen historipal eomances because it was the first effort of Sir Bulwer Lytton as a historical romancist. Viewed as such, viz., as the first adventure into the fairyland of historic romance, it is certainly very wonderful. It is re markable in any point of view, but in that espe cially so. When Sir Edward Lytton penned this imaginary autobiography of Morton Devereux, he was a very young author. He was twenty-five years of age. It was his third work of any im portance. He had two seasons before taken the town by storm with the humorous vivacity and witty impertinence, so to speak, of his sparkling "Pelham, or the Adventures of a Gentleman. The year after Pelham appeared, Mr. Bulwer had followed it up cleverly—certainly most amusingly with the " Disowned." People were still laughing at the remembrance of the Copperasses. when a marvellously different chord was struck by the hand of the young novelist.. It was no longer the sus conzica that moved his pen of fascination. That pen was abruptly transformed in the wand of the historic romancist. And in answer to its wierd conjurations—up rose within the magic circle of the plot of " Devereux "—a motley thing of historic personages ! Here was Henry St. John Lord Bolingbroke— since dubbed by the author of " Devereux" in his recent poem of " St. Stephens"—our English Alcibiades. Here was Jonathan Swift, Dean of St. Patricks. Here Sir Richard Steele—here the Right Hon. Joseph Ad dison—here Sir Godfrey Kneller—and yonder in a wondrous little episo de exquisitely introduced (Book iii, ch. iv.) in his old age, in his rural retire ment, Richard Cromwell the son of the Lord Pro tector, some time indeed Lord Protector himself im mediately before the close of the brief but glorious annals of the Commonwealth. /he interest of the work, however, the peculiarly enthralling interest of " Devereux " as a romance is discoverable in the loves and hatreds, the lives and deaths, the virtues ep_ and the vices of the purely imaginary characters • described by the fictitious autobiographer. And • secondly, in the labyriethine involutions of• „..se the plot of this early effusion of Sir Ed- :::f; ward's genius as a novelist, we can re- sn cognise the precocious mastery already attained by him at the very outset of his career, in the dexte rous entanglement and subsequent unravelmeat of . the thread of a narrative—a faculty of contrivance, a gift of constructiveness, in the possession of iihich we hold Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton to starKtortbs among all novelists, past or present, wholly leni ~ absolutely unrivalled. Of this—" My' Novel, alone, affords sufficient, or, as we conceive it, coo- elusive attestation. Compare with 1t 1n regard to plot, for example, the novel of all, niiyele, the (in many respects) matchless " Gil Blas" aiSt the incom parable Le Sage—" Gil Blas" is bfflii wonderful chain of incidents, side by side with the Cretan . Labyrinth of the marvellous plot of "My Novel" —a maze of seemingly (at a careless glance) inex tricable confusion, but one through all the intricate windings of which the reader is conducted by that magic clue, the thread , .of , the 'author's narrative, beginning at Hazeldean and ending 'at Lansmere. It is this also, almost at• timee same extent of intricacy with the clue wwa through the singularly elahorated plot'o ,"Pifre reux.

CHURCH RATES AT PLUMSTEAD.—Considerable agitation prevails in the parish of Plumetead as to the pay • ment of a rate made by the vestry for the purchase of land to enlarge the churchyard. It appears that at one of the vestry meetings the vicar refused to grant a poll as to th question of adjournment, and upon this and other ground. a large number of inhabitants have refused to pay the rate. Several defendants yesterday appeared to answer sum monses at the Woolwich Police-court, Mr. Meadows White attending to support the rate. After hearing evidence as to the mode in which the rate was made, Mr. Traill de clined to adjudicate, and a case was then taken, setting forth the whole facts, to be submitted to the ecclesiastical cotut. MISR SOCIAL BURDENS. On Saturday last iordFermo ---- y, as Lieutenant of the county of Cork, presided over a large meeting of magistrates, ratepayers, and others interested, to consider the necessity of dividing the county and holding separate 'Assizes for each division, repre, sented by a separate grand jury. In the course of his opening address his Lordship said he had taken the trouble of looking into the question of Irish taxation, and had come to the conclusion that Ire land for local purposes was the heaviest taxed country in Europe. To bear out this view the noble chairman quoted the following facts and figures : " The Grand Jury cess in Ireland amounted to the sum of over a but he would put it down at that figure, and the poor-rate amounted, in round numbers, to about £500,000, making a total of £1,500,000. There were also other local burdens. There was the tithe rent charge. He had heard the funds of the Established Church. of Ireland estimated by some as 10-v as £500,000 a-year, and by others at £BOO,OOO, and the truth might be estimated as between the two, so that they might put them down at between £600,000 and £700,000. There was also another Church supported by the people of Ireland out of the fruits of the land—a Church that never liked to be ignored, and which, in his mind, ought not be ignored by anybody wishing to be considered as a philosopher or statesman as regarded Ireland —he meant the Roman Catholic Church, the Church of the great majority of the people of the country. That was no doubt supported by voluntary contri butions, but in considering the burdens the people had to bear, whether they were voluntary or im posed by law made no difference as to the amount. The only mode he had of ascertaining the amount contributed for the support of the Catholic Church was a very simple one. He found there were four archbishops, and he had put them down at £BOO year each, making £3.200; 24 bishops, at £6OO a year each, amounting to £14,400; 2,291 priests, whom he put down at £2OO a year each on an ave rage, made £458,800. Then they had the building of chapels, subscriptions for the propagation of the faith in foreign countries, subscriptions for the Pope and many other objects connected with the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland, and he did not think he was under the mark when he put them down at £200,000 a year, and that would bring up the expenses of the Roman Catholic Church to nearly £700,000 a year, somewhere about the same as those of the Protestant Church. There was also the Presbyterian Church, the Wesleyan, and other congregations of Dissenters. The Presbyterians were partly supported by the Regium Donum, and partly by voluntary contributions. He did not think he was over the mark in stating that the voluntary contributions of the Presbyterian and other Dissenters amounted to somewhere about £200,000 a year. Therefore they had about £lOO,OOO raised for religious purposes in Ireland, adding to that £1,500,000 of county cess and poor law taxation, they had a gross sum of £3,000,000 paid by Ireland for local purposes, out of a rental, according to Griffith's valuation, of £12,000,000 ; that is they paid 25 per cent. on the gross rental of the country towards local contributions and taxa tion." .711.4R.111 _G_ES IN IREL.IND. The report of the Registrar-General of Marriages in Ireland for 1859, which is confined to the mar- Hazes of Protestants, states that the number was 9,`a61. The average for the five years 1850-54 was 9,646 ; for the five years 1855.59 only 9,295. The former series had the advantage of an unusual num ber of marriages in 1853, but the numbers do not indicate an increasing population. It is supposed that the proportion of early marriages is larger in Ireland than in England, but it is not so among the Protestant part of the population. The proportion of men unable to write their names is about the same as in England, but there is this difference — that in England the proportion is decreasing, in Ire land. it is not ; of women unable to write the pro portion a few years ago was least in Ireland, but England has now improved, and in 1858 (the latest account made up) only 37.6 in every 100 women who married in England had to make their mark ; while in Ireland, in 1859, the proportion of illite rate was 42.70. As in England the marriages are most numerous in the last quarter of the year, but the difference is not so great in Ireland. Not very much more than half the Protestant marriages were celebrated in churches,, 2,686 were in Presbyterian chapels, and the large number of 1,498 at the Re gistrar's-office-35 par cent. of all which were not solemnised according to the rites of the Established Church. Jevis must be scarce in Ireland ; for the last 15 years the marriages of Jews have barely averaged one a year. At the close of the year there were in Ireland 1,424 churches and chapels belong ing to the Established Church, 543 Presbyterian chapels registered for marriages, and 148 other re gistered buildings belonging to the Wesleyans and others, in all 2,115 places for the 7,763 marriages which were not celebrated in the registrars' offices, so that some at least must have had few enough. Of the marriages solemnised at churches eight in every ten were by licence, but marriage licences are said to be cheaper in Ireland than in England. The marriage-licence system does not appear a very wise one ; it may be reasonable to tax persons who wish to marry without the unpleasant pub licity of banns, but in England, at all events, the chief portion of the payment they have to make goes, not to the State, but to private individuals. The Registrar-General regrets that he has to pre sent such a meagre report year by year, but so it is that there is no civil registration of the marriages of Roman Catholics, nor of the birth or death of any human being in Ireland. The State collects and publishes every year statistics of the crops and the live stock, but not of the people. They thus lose the benefit of an easy proof of age and descent, and all the collateral advantages which might result from an exposure of sanitary defects and the mor tality they cause. Ireland, says the Registrar- General, is the only civilised country in which the births, deaths, and marriages of the inhabitants are not systematically recorded. THIS DA D'S MARKETS.

A 'WEALTHY BEGGAR.—The police were in formed a few days back that a blind man, who for several years had been accustomed to beg on the steps of the church of the Petits-Peros,had contracted for the purchase of a furnished lodging-house in the Rue St. Pierre Montmartre, for a sum exceeding 30,000 f. Having made inquiries, they learned that the statement was quite true, and that, more over, he had paid down 12,0001. of the purchase money. On this they made a search in his lodgings, and found rail way shares, bonds, and other securities to a considerable amount. As he had only been allowed to beg at the church in the belief that he was really poor, and as besides he had long been in the habit of pestering the Emperor and Em press with petitions for charity, he was arre sted, and is to be tried for merdicity, 4 ih ° Cii , N iti , r 4 _~. ~. )c' .-~- ~w
